It just demonstrates that the patent office is heavily drowned with all kinds of patents. It could mean either :
the patents office staff is not really qualified
the computer network of the patents office might be running on windows
I imagine a windows popup with "Do you alway trust Microsoft" press [OK] or [Abort]. When selecting [OK] all patents applications from Microsoft Corp. are assigned a auto approval. An employee pressing [Abort] however might get into deep trouble, for not getting enough patent tickets passed in a single day.
Its time we send Einstein back as clerk inside the Patents office.
What ive read about Longhorn, i see it as Microsofts last attempt to put fences across their current installed base. No sane person i know is willing and prepared to "completely trust microsoft" and allow shackles on its PC.
$120,= for a MandrakeClub Silver Bullet account $0,= for the Mandrake 10.0 official iso downloads $0,= for the contrib Cooker RPMS of the Gimp 2.0 $175,= for a USB2.0 Epson Perfection 2400 Photo
SUNW stock has been low for quite some time now. I think since 2001. However, the only thing which happened is that SUNW is not that hot.com ready for action ticker anymore. They have become an older company which ain't what these Wallstreet Hustlers want.
Does it mean its customers don't want e15k servers anymore? Of course not. Whats happening is more like the end game of what i would call the.com hype on Wallstreet. The business oportunities for SUNW are just not that hot anymore. currently. BUt SUN can still move independantly, which means they are still alive.
Don't allow yourself to be fooled by these dirtcheap Wallstreet editors and propaganda writers. Cause thats _all_ what they are!! These "journalists" just write stories , _they_ like to see happen.
If SUN would come out stronger after this, these same idiotic so-called journalists are reported to go raging mad, not to see their writings being transformed into wishfull self fullfilling prophecies. Wallstreet and its destructive propaganda media should get a huge haulover and firm kick in the butt.
What is evident though is: SUN needs some new blood. And yes, no business school kiddo's, but some genuine MIT techies. Why don't they put Bill Joy in charge, instead of some total useless business school type as Schwartz? The only thing wannabee CEO's learn these days is the outsourcing trick. They better outsource Schwartz to Mars.
Modules should not lie about their licenses. Fine.
BUT... the linux kernel developers need to get over their fanaticism about open-source drivers. There are many reasons companies cannot or will not make their driver source public. For wireless cards, the FCC effectively prohibits it. For video cards and others, much of the value of the card is in fact in the driver and companies have a right to keep that under wraps.
The FCC prohibits WiFi vendors to release the source code? Whats up with my orinoco silver card then? If i have this old carton box which contains 50 older orinoco silver cards, and put em for sale on eBay, i am hitting the jackpot? Is that what you mean?
OR does it mean when looking for refurbished Alpha hardware, you will still pay insane prices for older hardware? Do we have to conclude here, that in order to purchase 100% Open Hardware your wallett will be milked completely empty?
Maybe its time the FCC got back to its roots, and its current president should be indicted.
Most spyware are in the form of resident old cookies. So really, rather unharmfull, just a couple of tiny files in a trash directory. Imagine that everyone on his PC has indeed say more as 10 Spyware vendor relates cookies on his windows XP machine. The information inside these cookies are mostly, your name, email address, basicly _your_ identity.
Why would it be interesting for certain organisations to have cookies on all PC's world-wide? No single person is able to monitor all those PC's at the same time! Well they certainly don't want to. All they want is survaillance when needed. FBI says "We want to track this person on the Internet, what is his current ip-number, and thus where is that person currently located?" The SpyWare cookies on your desktop allow Spyware companies to track your current ip-number down within 2 or 3 minutes. Once they _have_ your ip-number, they have permission (thats what a cookie apparently is for) to upload their real Spyware monitor module, and can start watching _your_ desktop real-time while you are behind your PC.
It all makes sense, the ADSL 24/7 connection almost for free, the PC with windows doesn't cost that much anymore. Besides, no-one doing banking from at home can do that without a PC.
1. Initially a Free of cost $ 0.= "purchase"
After downloading and deploying free and open source software your wallett has still its original contents. I mean the default standard installed version which emerges after doing a./configure ; make ; make install. Making it tailor made of course takes an extra effort from your own time or money.

After deploying free and open source software, you yourself or your company/organisation are 100% in charge of what is about to happen with that software. The user is at the same time owner.

Now debunking the authors Fundamental problems :
1. User interface design.
The author only sees himself as a dumb mode windows XP user. If the resemblance of the OSS package cannot be satfisfiedly enough found back inside the Windows platform, the OSS software apparently is _NOT_ usable. I say thats rubbish.
It somehow points back to his own point 5. Religious blindness, also the commerical closed software camp is blinded to a certain extent.
2. Documentation
I really wonder why the author took this one. Generally speaking the most popular and successfull OSS packages have briljant documentation. There are a few exceptions though, where the source or outdated man pages are all what is offered. In that case IMHO the OSS package should _NOT_ be considered. Simple as it gets. But again, generally speaking Bad Documentation in Open Source land is really an exception. If i compare that to certain windows documentation, which level doesn't reach further as : right-click this button (see fig 1a) to view CD properties, and at the same not explaining what a certain property actually means. I Think the best hilarious example is the F1 HELP inside Award and Phoenix BIOS-es.
3.Feature-centric development.
Again a misconception. I agree that certain OSS projects are indeed on a Feature-centric ego-tripping track. But again, because we speak open source, no-one is forbidding you to go back to that still sane older version and debark to more improved versions from there. I admit I really view this from the developer point of view, and not the dumb end-users. Actually I really wonder how many dumb end users will heave read the authors article.
4. Programming for the self.
Again from a dumb end user point of view, the author has a point. Indeed certain tools are only fixed to the level upon which the programmer himself is satisfied. However! Because it is Open Source, any other user can pickup the half-finished result and make it a perfect fit for his own use. Actually, inside the SAP and Axapta ERP software business, this is common pratice, and is called customization programming.
5.Religious blindness
I really wonder where the author wants to go with this accusation. Does he mean Linus Torvalds, managing the linux kernel source tree, and flaming new contributors upon their submitted pacthes, which mostly contain design errors which indeed new comers to kernel development always make:)
October 1998 : "In October, Europe's governing body will commission a full report into the workings of Echelon, a global network of highly sensitive listening posts operated in part by America's most clandestine intelligence organization, the National Security Agency."
"British investigative journalist Duncan Campbell was the first to report about Echelon in a 1988 article in The New Statesman. He believes that there is a very thin line between intelligence gathering and commercial espionage."
Wasn't that the guy who was put behind bars by the British Queen?
Some time ago Cisco announced IOS was highly vulnerable to hack attacks, so they said : "download new fixed IOS version today!" But didn't they announce a press release that future IOS releases would contain FBI Fed hookups?
The story on that is here : "More on Cisco Building Surveillance into Routers" They talk about Eavesdropping 'must be undetectable, and such. Well now! Not so long ago a customer wanted a more powerfull cisco router, basilcy going from a 1603 to a 2600 series router.
We already had a cisco 2610 running which has 64 MB RAM in its default configuration. I checked but only the cisco 2610XM was avaliable (now 6 months ago), which highly interesting has 128 MB in its default configuration. The best part was, that a brand new cisco 2610XM at cisco's was even cheaper in price as the older cisco 2610, which cisco didn't sell anymore, but was only available on ePAy or refurbished cisco resellers.
How should the Justice Department take on large multi billion dollar Corporations?
Easy : never ever put financial sanctions on them. Only put regulatory sanctions on such Corporations. For instance take the EU vs. Microsoft case : a $600.= million fine is pocket money.
So demand Microsoft to remove the Media Player with the sanction , that if Microsoft fails to do so in time, Microsoft would just loose their commercial chamber registration and license, and thus would be forced to stop doing business in Europe. Easy as it gets.
Inside "Total Recall" Arnold Schwarzenegger is taking a space journey to Mars, where the Martians are a people living under repression, maybe somewhat like the Palestines today.
Arnold, "Douglas Quaid" inside the movie, is actually a former martian who was also a spy on earth. However he got busted and certain parts of his memory was erased. Coming back to Mars Quaid starts to remember things.
The best part of that movie is the last 5 minutes, where Quaid suddenly remembers how to free the Martian people living in closed controlled environments, also with suers underground. He remembers there is a thousands of years old installation underground, which needs to be activated, Quaid also remembers suddenly how that is done, and what we see happen is actually Terraforming performed in a couple of minutes! A semi gas-explosion-release is activated and the atmosphere fills up, and a blue sky and clouds are formed.
My preference of most pupular DVD (re)writable
media :
nr.1. DVD-R
DVD-R is 100% compatible with the DVD-ROM standard. The DVD-ROM standard is actually closely analoge to the CD-ROM standard upon which the very popular CD-R recordable is based.
burningtools :
no.2. DVD+R
DVD+R is not 100% compatible with the DVD-ROM standard. Basicly DVD+R is a packet writing standard, instead of tracks, where the last track normally ain't closed. Only to be used in this way for multitrack multi-volume backup and archive tasks. growisofs however has been extended to write -dvd-compat dvd-video iso-images to DVD+R recordable, and closing the disc.
burningtools :
dvd+rw-tools : growisofs + mkisofs
no.3. DVD-RW
DVD-RW is mostly an analog standard to CD-RW. I use it when designing/creating and debugging new iso's.
burningtools :
no.4. DVD+RW
DVD+RW is where i touch in the dark. Basicly i would assume that DVD+RW is just a DVD+R which can be 100% erased, and thus be used again as Multi-track/Multi-volume archive disc.

Hmm i'd say that mremap() bug is one big dirty giant hole, which has been lurking for ages. The fact that the kernel maintainers don't have a simple fix in the form of a small patch is striking.
In fact : the complete vmmem remap MM stuff has been rewritten going from 2.4.24 to 2.4.25. The only sane thing to do, is to install 2.4.25 from scratch. That polish kernel hacker certainly lifted some heavy rock, and now all the dirty stuff is flying in your face. The exploit he posted sofar gives me root-shell on ALL my Linux machines.
"Its a source-level patch. See `man patch`. I understand the sarcasm inherent in your statement and yet I don't see peoples' problem with doing a quick recompile and reboot. Its really that simple.
"
Oh yes i know how to use/usr/bin/patch . But where is the patch itself? like linux-2.4.24-mremap.patch ? for instance
cat linux-2.4.24-mremap.patch | patch -p0
would do the job. However _where_ is the linux-2.4.24-mremap.patch to be found?
This guy investigating mremap is saving a new vulnerability for every week. He's working only to get his name printed everywhere. I cannot take this seriously. If he's a genuine security analyst, he'd fix _all_ mremap related bugs within 1 patch.
My biggest grief, is him not releasing source code patches for genuine kernel.org kernels. If he's so good to release sploits, he's good enough to submit source code patches.
I found a pic on space.com, which was pulled a couple a days ago, luckily i got a copy saved.
So the message is out, there seems to be water on mars : water-on-mars.jpg
Eric shouldn't have picked CUPS as the target of his "The Luxury of Ignorance":
http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cups-horror.html article.
I agree with him that the latest generation open source and project developers can be quite ignorant on design issues. Maybe thats due to the fact a typical todays developers 1st PC @home is a P4 or AMD screaming fast iron. These new programmers actually miss the resource limiting contstraints of a Atari St, Amiga 3000, Commodore 64 or even a 8088 Intel PC with only 640 kbyte RAM. For sake! Even Bill Gates once said the 640 kb RAM limit would never be exeeded.
Nowadays besides RAM abusing also CPU cycles are really abused in god forbidden ways and methods. For instance when i see the latest offerings from RedHat and fedora for public, my stomach turns all upset. For e.g. pcmcia and hotplug to work, the new youngsters which call themselves system programmers, abuse inside a startup script the kudzu program several times in a row. Next if one counts inside/etc/rc.d/init.d directory the number of "sleep 1" calls, one finally understands why that P4 3.0 GHz hotrod iron is still slower at booting up as my old pentium P75 with RedHat 4.2 :
So booting might at worst take 30 seconds extra due to sleep commands. My solution would be to replace _all_ sleep() shell scripting commands with usleep() and put 2 or 3 zeros behind the number of seconds . so one would replace :
sleep 1 ==> usleep 1000
1 second ===> 1 msec
Your PeeCee might boot a 1000x times faster after this!!! Geeez!!! a new tuning
package for Linux is born:
BOOT YOUR LUNIX PeeCee 1000x TIMES FASTER!! [Click Here] for VISA,MAstercard.
Apache : most used and succesfull linux server software
XFree86 : most used and succesfull linux desktop software
Apparently the Linux kernel code by Linus Torvalds cannot be touched anymore. So the evil masters move along and try to get these two projects into troubled waters, and thus still might nail the linux rise. Remember that Darl McBride already today failed miserably.
I would say, what we have here is the latest attack to nail Linux and Open Source. Lets hope its the last one.
furthermore, why would a tool like captive-ntfs need things like gnome-vfs-2.0 ? Why does something that should work flawlessly from the commandline need a full GNOME layer??:
Is this dude sponsored by Intel? Why would someone go through these kind of efforts to find out a 64bit app is a tiny bit slower as the 32bit version? Maybe some people were shocked to find Opteron on 64bit was a lot faster as when running in 32bit mode. Why would someone create FUD about 64bit being slower as 32bit when Opteron currently is pulling _all_ bricks out of Intel's backyard??
remember this quote?:
"Windows [n.]
A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition."
(Anonymous USEnet post)
Here's another one:
"Itanium [n.] a.k.a. Itanic. An incompatible sixty-four bit extension to a thirty-two bit Pentium 4 CPU created by a company who's previous CPU was called Pentium 5 and presumably also cannot count upwards in performance."
Simple, its the best SRPM eater and fastest RPM producer around. Just look e.g. on www.rpmfind.net and search for that favorate package. Mandrake and/or Mandrake Cooker editions always show up.
They have a development engine which rockz:
Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk)
Basicly IMHO Mandrake 9.2 is just latest redhat _without_ corporate intervenance...
I tried Mandrake 9.2RC1 AMD64 on a ASUS K8V board with that AMD Athlon AMD64 3200+ CPU , which is running 2200MHz/1024kb cache. And also their x86_64 development platform rockz. All i386 based SRPMS it just compiled with warp-12 speed into *.x86_64.rpm's.

For instance when i see the latest offerings from RedHat and fedora for public, my stomach turns all upset. For e.g. pcmcia and hotplug to work, the new youngsters which call themselves system programmers, abuse inside a startup script the kudzu program several times in a row. Next if one counts inside /etc/rc.d/init.d directory the number of "sleep 1" calls, one finally understands why that P4 3.0 GHz hotrod iron is still slower at booting up as my old pentium P75 with RedHat 4.2 :
[jackson:stock]:(/etc/rc.d/init.d)$ grep sleep * | wc -l
31
[jackson:stock]:(/etc/rc.d/init.d)$
So booting might at worst take 30 seconds extra due to sleep commands. My solution would be to replace _all_ sleep() shell scripting commands with usleep() and put 2 or 3 zeros behind the number of seconds . so one would replace :
sleep 1 ==> usleep 1000
1 second ===> 1 msec
Your PeeCee might boot a 1000x times faster after this!!! Geeez!!! a new tuning package for Linux is born:
BOOT YOUR LUNIX PeeCee 1000x TIMES FASTER!! [Click Here] for VISA,MAstercard.

Apache : most used and succesfull linux server software
XFree86 : most used and succesfull linux desktop software
Apparently the Linux kernel code by Linus Torvalds cannot be touched anymore. So the evil masters move along and try to get these two projects into troubled waters, and thus still might nail the linux rise. Remember that Darl McBride already today failed miserably.
I would say, what we have here is the latest attack to nail Linux and Open Source. Lets hope its the last one.

furthermore, why would a tool like captive-ntfs need things like gnome-vfs-2.0 ? Why does something that should work flawlessly from the commandline need a full GNOME layer?? :

Is this dude sponsored by Intel? Why would someone go through these kind of efforts to find out a 64bit app is a tiny bit slower as the 32bit version? Maybe some people were shocked to find Opteron on 64bit was a lot faster as when running in 32bit mode. Why would someone create FUD about 64bit being slower as 32bit when Opteron currently is pulling _all_ bricks out of Intel's backyard??

remember this quote?
"Windows [n.]
A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition."
(Anonymous USEnet post)
Here's another one
"Itanium [n.]
a.k.a. Itanic. An incompatible sixty-four bit extension to a thirty-two bit Pentium 4 CPU created by a company who's previous CPU was called Pentium 5 and presumably also cannot count upwards in performance."

Simple, its the best SRPM eater and fastest RPM producer around. Just look e.g. on www.rpmfind.net and search for that favorate package. Mandrake and/or Mandrake Cooker editions always show up.

They have a development engine which rockz
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk)
Basicly IMHO Mandrake 9.2 is just latest redhat _without_ corporate intervenance...
I tried Mandrake 9.2RC1 AMD64 on a ASUS K8V board with that AMD Athlon AMD64 3200+ CPU , which is running 2200MHz/1024kb cache. And also their x86_64 development platform rockz. All i386 based SRPMS it just compiled with warp-12 speed into *.x86_64.rpm's.
