The article mentions that OpenBSD 2.9 will have a bunch of improvements in Linux binary emulation. Anyone running -current care to give some feedback on their experiences?
O.T. How does FreeBSD's Linux binary emulation compare? Pros, cons, etc.
If you actually called you would find out there really isn't a Win32 release ready. It may alpha at best right now. There has been some work with Cygwin to make it work on Win32 and has had some success. Some of the developers are using Win2k. There is some work on the Win32 port doing it from scratch but it will take some time. You can try the bleeding edge with the Cygwin/Win32 port, wait for the native port or find a dedicated box you can put Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris/Etc.
Generally speaking, the reason Win32 costs more is because it takes more work to port some things over. Windows doesn't uses pipes, isn't really POSIX compliant, etc. and a lot of people need a little incentive to go through the trouble. The same goes for something that was originally written for Win32 to take it to another platform.
You replied to that example and I was using it as an example of how it would be protecting the IP of the original owner of the code. Examples are just fiction and I'm not implying you are doing anything wrong.
I wasn't saying that GPL is infeasable but I was saying that some people have argued that because it has remained realtively unchallenged in court that it is without merit. I was also saying that Microsoft's actions help reinforce the case for the GPL's legal status. The more you study law, the more you realize that precendece and examples influence it as much as the written law.
The GPL could definitely lose in my eyes because I'm not really a fan of it. I'm not really anti-GPL either and encourage people to use it if it does what they want. I personally like the BSDish licenses and haven't put any license on my own work. Of course I doubt anyone would want mine but they are welcome to it.
Either that or it will mean that you should call "911".

Let's try this again
Using your example, you would be be required by the license to release the updated code. This gives the original author legal recourse if you decide to take the $250 and refuse to release the updated code. If he released it as public domain then he would be SOL. GPL lets him take you to court if he wants to force the issue. This is the IP protection the original author would get from the GPL.
A lot of people have said that the GPL wouldn't be legally enforced if there was a violation. Microsoft, by arguing against it, has lended some credibility to the validity of the license by coming against it. If it is recognized by a mainstream company then perhaps it really is a legit license. There hasn't been much testing of legality of the GPL and this helps lay some more groundwork for the future. Sure there have been some skirmishes but usually one side or the other has backed down so it has remained largely untested in court.
I thought the terms were that you had to release the changes if you are distributing the software. I didn't think you had to release the change(s) if you are just using the software yourself without distributing the modified software.
I've seen plenty of code that has been around forever and I don't want most of it. Granted someone could pick it up and run with it but some has bit rot so bad you would be better off with a clean slate.
How many managers would rather hire programmers and manage them over buying some proprietary software and supposedly be done with it?? I realize there's more to the arguement but how many PHB's do?

The changes must be made available or face the wrath of the GPL. MS is inadvertantly giving more weight to the GPL by coming against it as a real option, even though they say it is a bad one. After all if MS thinks it is real then it probably is.
Don't buy it then. People buy stocks and sell them all the time. Should this be illegal too?? If you don't intentionally buy someone else's trademark then why shouldn't you be able to sell for whatever someone is willing pay? This is the whole point behind a free market economy. I guess ebay should be illegal too. If I register a domain at some cheap place for $10/year, can I sell it for a Network Solutions price of $35/year or is that wrong too?
I currently use the domains I have but I don't see a problem with selling "non-trademarked" domains.
FSF thinks it should be a forced gift whether you want to or not. I want the freedom to give or charge for anything I do. I'm talking about stuff that I wrote, not modify existing code. This is what freedom is all about. FSF doesn't want you to have the option. It really is just as bad as the other side of nothing should be released at all. Extreme anything is almost always wrong.
This is a 1 to 1 solution. You have one computer that is attached remotely to a keyboard, monitor, etc. This lets you put all the computers in one location for maintenance, security, etc.
You are looking for an OS X terminal server probably.
Why do you say that?? It's probably because Intel talks about their typical temp and AMD talks about their max temp so AMD looks worse when in fact they are the same until you get to the P4.
I was going to post but my system locked hard. Grrrrr!!!!!! It was fine for 3 days then locked again. I'm either going to get an Asus A7A266(No 686a/b/? southbridge) motherboard to replace this one or a totally different sound card. I might even do both.
I followed a lot of directions on several forums but ended up going through the bios and making one change at a time until I got it working right. It took weeks and a few reinstalls because corupted/missing files after the hard locks. I will document it in the next few days and post it back here.
I know the original post was humor but in case you didn't.
A good Win32 firewall product is WinRoute Pro. It does all the communication and takes the OS out of the equation. Of course don't go with the default install but it can be made reasonably secure. I have installed it in a small installation in the past and considering they were going to use nothing, I felt better about using this. I'm glad I was just consulting at the time and didn't have to deal with it 24/7. Personally my own firewall uses IP chains.
At my current job, we use a commercial firewall product but use OpenBSD bridging firewalls internally to protect the internal network segments. You security better not be all in your firewall because all firewalls can be broken given enough time and skill. Lock down the routers, switches and for the love of God, lock the server room door(s). Remove every modem in the network and use a modem pool if there is some reason to have one at all. Put a firewall between the modem pool and the network and lock it pretty hard. Never underestimate the power of users (or sysadmins) to circumvent the security with postit notes, leaving critical systems logged on, leaving doors open to the public, etc.
I tried beta 3 and ran into some problems too. I did a clean install of RC1 and it was like a different installer. Everything worked great and installed without a single problem. I've only been using the expert install so I can't tell you about the other installs.
I had some problems in the past but it boiled down some sound card issues with my chipset. First a Aureal Vortex2 then a Soundblaster Live. I had an Asus K7M and finally got the Vortex card working good. Then I upgraded to an Abit KT7 Raid and the vortex locked hard after the drivers were loaded so I didn't load them. I changed to the Soundblaster and it had some issues until made some tweaks in the bios. Now Mandrake is running rock solid and is slick as can be. I probably would have similar results with distros now that my hardware issues are resolved but I don't need to change now. I have a couple other systems that I will test with.
The website talks about protecting dynamic data too. They list PHP and Perl as supported.
<grain_of_salt> I assume that it will protect the source files (.pl,.php, etc.) but still would allow you to try to alter the output if the code has a hole in it. My coding is rudimentary at best so I guess I would be a candidate for having my code exploited. The good news is that the source can't be hacked without tripwire catching it so they could continue to exploit it until I actually got the code fixed.</grain_of_salt>
Tripwire states that it is multiplatform then goes on to list Multi-*nix. The datasheet adds NT and 2000 to the list. Aren't they proud of their Win32 product too?
This is just asking for trolls to give us gestures just like we get on the freeways.
I really like what Opera is has been doing with their browser. It makes it hard to stick to one browser with all the improvements to the various ones (Mozilla, Konquerer, Opera, etc.)
I've tried Openmail and it is good but needs a little work to get it setup and running. The biggest problem is now that HP is dropping it. i know it is 5 years but try to tell it to the PHB. I've got a pretty good handle on Exchange and could live with it for the internal calendaring, etc. if I have to but will keep my eyes open for reasonable alternatives. External traffic is handled by a Linux box. There are several projects to replace Exchange in the works but most are just trying to get off the ground right now.
The answer is in your own post. If Iomega made Zip drives able to read floppies in the begining, it would be game over for floppy and LS-120's both. I like LS-120 because it is a fast floppy but it came on the scene after Zip was pretty entrenched.
I was born and raised on a farm in the midwest. I had a killer Apple IIgs back when they were released and a whopping 2400 baud modem. The closest town had a pop of 250(not 250k, just 250) and everything else was long distance. I didn't spend as much time online as I do today but I did what I could raise phone money for. Every minute costed back then and you didn't screw around as much although I did do some chatting this way because it seemed to cost the same as talking on the phone in my mind.
If you have any kind of ad revenue coming in at all, the ascap fees are not really all that unmanagable.
That's true as long you don't have any ad revenue at all. If you make any money at all then the price jumps in a hurry. My brother is in a web class and did a project on streaming and the legal requirements. I helped him out with some of the research and it was eye-opening. It is extremely difficult to be 100% compliant even when you jump through every hoop and have the money to do it right.

A 3rd party defrager like Disk Keeper can defrag the MFT. It used to be the case for quite a while that no one has this ability.
