Actually, it's a reality because on production machines, you don't leave ANYTHING to chance. EVER. PERIOD. END OF STORY.
Much like one of the main points of OSS is that you don't trust closed source, when deploying, you DON'T TRUST SOMETHING THAT HASN'T PASSED YOUR OWN TEST ENVIRONMENT.
Its not like there's some switch that can be flipped and all of a sudden the memory where a file was stored is filled with zeros when its deleted.
Actually, any system rated above 'tinker toy' does, in fact, have the ability, built in, to zero out both memory and disk space upon delete. This is called a 'security feature.'
Take a standard map. Draw a line down the left side, and a line across the bottom. Where they intersect, in the bottom-left corner, is (x,y 0,0). Now, draw the third dimension, a line intersecting (x,y 0,0) and having a right angle to both x and y. This is (z). Above the map is z+, and below the map is z-.
For an amusing thought exercise, draw the fourth dimension on there. Bear in mind that to follow the pattern a) it must be at a right angle to all the other lines and b) there must be one dimension more than what's being described, in order to give it context.
Your legs can navigate a 3-D space, then, can they? Great. Modify your placement on the Z axis by plus three meters. In other words, move three meters directly above where you are, without moving forward, backward, left or right. Oh, and note that no other part of your body can move either, so hope there's no ceiling above you.
How StarShip Troopers-ish (the novel more than the movie, which so many people mis-understood). Civilians live and work, Citizens (vets) get to vote, hold office, etc etc, on the grounds that they've fought for what they would now help rule.
Denial of cert means nothing, and various Supreme Court justices over the years have lamented how many people seem to think denial of cert is meaningful.
Popular opinion gives meaning. If a Judge says 'I don't want to hear this case, but that doesn't mean anything', but everybody else hears 'I don't want to hear the case, because it's a waste of time; I agree with the lower court', then the second statement is the one that's right, even if it's not the one that's correct.
Society is based on common belief. Murder is against our cultural mores, and therefore is illegal. When enough people think that murder is OK, it will be come legal, in practice if not in written law. Well, by not listening to the case, the justices give the appearence, and when enough people believe that appearence for whatever reason, it becomes truth, of agreeing with the lower courts. That may not be their intention, but it's probably the end result, and that's what matters.
Rather amusingly, Microsoft is living up to their fiduciary responsibilties by screwing the public.
Corporations exist, legally, to make their shareholders rich. It's been proven that in the postion that Microsoft is in, the best way they can accomplish that is unsavoury tactics. If they hold back, well, they're still doing illegal things.
Microsoft has never tried to use their investment with Apple as leverage, and they won't with Corel, either. It's not the threat (we now own 1/4 of your company!) it's the carrot. "Play well with us, and we'll give you more money, outright, than most companies make in a year."
And if they'll give their mortal enemies that much cash, think of what they'll do for their friends....
Doing nothing is, by definition, doing something. By not even listening to the case, and by extention, not challenging the lower court's ruiling, they are giving their tacit agreement. The ruiling stands through the action of the higher court, even if the action in question is refusing to take action.
If you're an american, try spreading the exact same info with the words "the president" appended after "how to kill". Let's see how long you last.:-)
Nope, I'm not American. Under American law, I believe that's considered Treason, though, and would be covered differently. Kinda like how PGP couldn't be exported as compiled code, but could be exported as source.
As far as I'm concerened, any legal system that requires a profession dedicated to interpreting the laws, has too many laws.
But, to my knowledge, iSOnews simply points out the existance of an ISO, not where to get it, how to get it, or what to do once you have it to get it to work.
No, it cannot.
I, right now, am telling you that the Human body is quite reliant on blood to function. If you use a sharp object, say a knife, to open a major artery or vein on a human being, they will die very quickly. The best ones are around the ankles, inside the thighs, the aorta (below the heart), the wrists, and the sides of the neck.
Also, I will tell you that if you ever feel the need to kill somebody by opening their veins and draining their blood, cut along the vein, not across the vein. This makes it harder to stop the bleeding, and will help ensure the successful termination of your victim.
There, I've given you detailed instructions on how to commit murder. But if you go kill somebody using these instructions, I am completely blameless. Now, you want to argue that posting news about the existance of an illegal copy of a game is illegal in and of itself? Nope.
True, but if the little Cobalt boxes are running Solaris, than it's easy as hell for people who outgrow their Cobolts to simply copy/paste over to a bit Solaris server and off to the races.
Not that it's difficult to port Linux to Solaris, but it's still a powerful lure.
Linux isn't faster than Solaris; it's just better optimized for low end hardware.
Here's an example. I had an E250 for a tinkertoy server. Two ultrasparc II processors at 300 mhz, 512 megs RAM. When it's doing nothing, log into CDE, and plunk around. It's slow as shit, but responsive.
Next, spool up the webserver, Oracle, your appserver of choice, and put some load on it. Next, start grepping through two meg log files. In general, load the crap out of it. Then, log into CDE. It's slow as shit: but no slower than it was running nothing! Solaris soaks load like a sponge.
Linux can't scale SMP the way Solaris (and, for that matter, AIX and HP-UX) can. It's improving, and it'll get there eventually, but not at the moment. Also, Solaris has better 'enterprise' class functionality. Want my favourite example? Go onto your production linux box, and fsck the drive. Oops, you have to unmount it or watch it die, right? Now go onto your production Solaris box, and do the same thing. Wow, you can fsck it while it's running! Stuff like that.
No, actually, I don't see an inconsistency here.
Microsoft claims that it's server OS can play with the Big Boys; turns out it's harder than Microsoft likes to admit. Sun, on the other hand, backs up most of the claims they make about Solaris.

Just so you know, for machines with 'image' CDs instead of install CDs, the cabs get installed to the hard drive. (windows\options\cabs generally)

Much like Linux is ONLY secure if you CONFIGURE and MAINTAIN it properly, IIS is quite stable if you CONFIGURE and MAINTAIN it properly.
Don't forget, IIS runs in kernal space, apache in user space. That gives IIS a boost, but also causes it to take the OS when it dies.

ODBC is, I believe, an X/Open specification, not a Microsoft one.
Replace 'www.nytimes.com' with 'partners.nytimes.com' and watch your login woes flee like cockroaches as the lights turn on.
It does run, it's not pretty, but it works, and it's probably acceptable for a departmental FTP server or the like.

WordPerfect 5.1 would make a pretty sweet text-mode editor.

Two meg log files? I meant to say two gig. :-)
It just gzips down to two meg....
