How many remote root holes [have] there been in Linux...
The debate isn't Linux vs BSD, it's against Microsoft. And how many ActiveX control related exploits have we seen so far? Whether it's Linux or OpenBSD, it's the Open part that counts.
To note, however, ABCNews had the Bill Gates pie-in-the-face story on its front page, while MSNBC didn't have it at all. They (were) affiliated with Netscape, and haven't been shown as pro-MS in any way that I know of. They're pro-corporatism, though, just like anyone else. No publicity is bad publicity
1) The CNET article mentions the mozilla.general newsgroup (actually, they call it "the "mozilla-general" discussion board". This isn't the first time CNET has had a problem with calling USENET what it is. Why? And for that matter, they mention it, but don't include a link. Why? 2) Why is it wrong for CNET to assume there's a project? Isn't that what the webpage says? Isn't that what mozoffice.org is all about?
It's owned by NameZero, the free domain name provider, which means just about anyone could have set it up. Ironically the owner of the domain name probably doesn't know about it, and the person who set it up probably did it as a service.
It's interesting what happens when Open Source is brought out in the limelight. How long did it take Linux to reach a 1.0 release? Look at how it is now, and how long it took to get here. These things take time, yet there wasn't anyone blasting Linus&Co until now.
Am I the only one confused by all of this? Isn't this just a re-hash of news reported by other people? What's new here that Upside found out by themselves? Nothing. What is there to comment about? Nothing.
Surely, MAPS included a "remove" address at the bottom of its email so that the company could just reply to have its email address removed from the list. And it's not like they have reason to sue, it says it's legal right in the email right under where it says "this is not spam and complies with US spamming regulations"
Well, censorware allows you to override a site if you think your child is ready to access it.
Censorware have closed lists of sites which normally can't be edited. It allows you some settings, but does not give the parent complete control and certainly not accurate information about what it does.
They don't seem to have any problem with "Olympus", but their trademarked terms "Olympics" and "Olympiad". Of course if they don't have a problem with Olympus, why would they have one with Olimpics?
Find something people need and do it. I do two websites voluntarily for experience, and they are extremely useful as far as job qualifications go. See my URL for the website in question. I also run a website for my local high school, which started out as an unofficial one (and still is) but is loved by faculty and staff. Do something for the community.
Furthermore, find something that could use your assistance, say a web page needing a better perl script, and offer your assistance there. If it's a small page devoted to a good cause then they'll graciously accept your help.

Embedding Ads In MP3s?
·
· Score: 1
There are also parodies which feature a simple radio station ID as an ad, less than 2 seconds, and I never felt the need to take it out. It's a matter of making it small enough so that people won't bother, and I'm sure tests will be done to find out what that point is.
The first day after this comes out, there will be a utility to rip the ads out.
There are utilities to stop ads in web pages, but they're not used by many people, so the web page ads continue. It's not a matter of if something can be done, it's whether it will be done by a large enough part of the population.
All that has to be done is to make all the ads slightly different lengths.
While that would make technical sense, it wouldn't make business sense. Businesses like conformity, and all the ads will be of the same length you can bet.
What this company is also banking on is that if you take an ad-filled MP3 and put it on a big website with lots of traffic and stable servers etc. and flaunt it to everyone saying it's legal, they might not go to Napster. They have the song right there. I'm not saying it will work of course.
I realize people feel the need to make money but this isn't the way to go about it. I'm even more amazed that advertisers would go for such a scheme. Look at the low click through rates on web banners. People are almost desensitized to this continual bombardment.
Why wouldn't ads work? They work on TV, and that's what radio stations do to make a profit, makes sense that it *might* work for MP3s as well. It's not just a matter of click-through, if an ad influences a person at all it will probably have worked. The same problem has occured in TV and radio, and still they managed to get over it.
They will almost definately use 1 encoder - and probably not the one the MP3 has.
Why wouldn't it be the same? The idea is they record the MP3 so obviously they would use the same encoder for the ad and the song. Even if not this would be a simple matter to fix.
What does Yanni have to do with linux? For that matter, songs from a secret garden sounds way too closed-source to me. Shouldn't linux be about non-secretive music? It's not even opsn-sourcely encrypted.
If you need an address just for a few minutes and don't want the hassle of spam, just visit mailexpire.com, setup a temp address, and it will disappear once your address has been "verified" by those websites that need them. Of course, if you forget your password, you're out of luck.

Isn't this what Microsoft is trying to do? Linux vulnerabilities are open, hence the large number of reports on BugTraq.
Apart from the well-known problem that open source has failed to innovate
Apache, GIMP, etc. are pieces of garbage of course. Are you trying to make a point by doing the same as Moody here?

I didn't recall mention of Macs in his article. Don't tell me he could have made a mistake!

It's the one true way to defeat the borg! The heck with these viruses, just sue them! Bring out the lawyers!

Slashdot.com maybe? This one is another NameZero thing. Looks like these people aren't doing it for any malicious purpose.
It's owned by NameZero, the free domain name provider, which means just about anyone could have set it up. Ironically the owner of the domain name probably doesn't know about it, and the person who set it up probably did it as a service.

It can't be a snapshot. Apple must have photoshopped it just like everyone else did. It's a fake I tell you!

It would be an audio ad, not an ad in the ID3.
