Hey, lets be frank about this, their primary product is for Windows, and they obviously whipped that page up as a gateway for data. Its a good thing that they're concentrating more on code than webpages. They also want to filter the gimps from the queue, and if someone were to read those requirements like "Must have Compuserve account" and not know that its ridiculous would be asinine on that persons behalf.
I know I've definately found myself bored to death hitting the reload button a million times per minute on/. or a/. thread. Kinda freaks you out when you realize it and force yourself away from the computer. I'm sure others have had worse problems:)
Not to bring politics into the issue... but the one thing I loved about Republicans was the fact that they'd blow money on the military and the space program until recently. Now we're making F-16's and stealth fighters based on 70's technology, and dump our 90's technology like the F-22, ISS, etc. down the sh1tter so that the average American can take home $40 at the end of the year. People tend to forget that if it wasn't for the space program, we would probably not have integrated cicuits... at least they wouldn't be comparable to today's standards. And who can ever forget Tang? I'm just wondering what good things aren't being developed because of this budget frenzy.
If the computers would interpret the numbers with just characters, then it'd be ordered as 090999 rather than 9999 which means nothing. This was never an issue... just media hoopla.
I think Lucas sold out, and has been raping Star Wars for as much money he can possibly glean from it. A good example of this is the existence of Jar Jar Binks. Lucas has got to know that the character is stupid, childish, extremely annoying and that it ruins the (dare I say it) seriousness of the movie reducing it to a high-tech kiddie movie. He could've stuck that purple dinosaur in there and would get more laughs from me than Jar Jar ever could... anyone leave the theatre pissed because of that freaking lizard?
One thing to keep in mind... Try _NOT_ to make it bloated. I personally like the system as is, but if more functionality is to be integrated into the current moderation, I suggest it be implemented in the user preferences section, and make sure theres a simple brainless fix to view postings. I'm saying this because recently I went to themes.org where they added a ton of functionality, and it drove me nuts trying to figure out how to exploit it. It drove me to the point where I didn't even want to deal. This is just my opinnion.
Stupid? First of all, I'm not the one with the hotmail account. Secondly, I'm sure they'd _LOVE_ to know that the OS used by probably 75% of the governments computer systems has information on it which is readable by the NSA, and due to espionage that everyone knows is occurring, readable by the Chinese, Koreans, Russians, etc. Hell, I'm sure the Chinese could brute force the private key, in which case they'd have the same level of access as the NSA.
oh you noble person you, you've found your cause in this world. There's more to this world than whether someone likes or dislikes perl/java/gtk/qt/windows/linux/de-caff/caffeinated /blue/red/etc. etc. etc. I am VERY glad that you've found your niche in this world though, because I'm sure you'll do lots of good, and we'll all benefit from your contributions to society.
If you aint' breakin' the law you ain't got nuthin' to worry about.
A Man smarter than you once said that, except he used proper grammer. His name was Adolf Hitler and this was one of his techniques at removing privacy and civil rights from the people of his country. Go figure.
If we had a truely just system of government, then this would constitute evidence that the NSA was breaking the law and spying on American Citizens. Its one thing if they implement this type of thing in all software leaving the country, its completely different however when 256M people are going to be potentially using the software at one point. As soon as I have some evidence that this is in fact happenning, I'm going to make a couple phonecalls to my congresswoman and senators.

Actually, I think they're more doing it to prevent other people from destroying RH's reputation. In an extreme case, a competitor could have people sell broken versions of RH, while the enduser struggling to get it operational would produce an inaccurate opinnion of RH. They have every right to claim this, and I expect them to claim this. If someone is reselling RH, then they should say "RedHat Linux FTP Image" or some crap like that. Simply putting it as "Linux" would suffice also, however they wouldn't sell anything. People specificly name it RH so they can get more attention, money, etc which isn't rightly due them. For the sake of polluting their reputation, RH is taking action. I would do the same if I were in their situation. I think all this chat about RH pushing on OSS community and OSS pushing back is adding conspiracy to replace their ignorance of the future and internals of the company. RedHat would be nothing without the OSS community, and I doubt they'll forget that anytime soon.

Crypt uses a 1-way cryptography function. It can't be decrypted. So if you encrypted files with it, then the only way to decrypt it would be to brute force it. In which case, you might as well re-write the file because that'd be done sooner.
Broken down into meaningful catagories where it can be exploited and used to gain un-intentional information. I wouldn't care if they were to do it solely based on geography, but since they're doing it on organization, they are telling people such 'n such organization is working on such 'n such... Not something I'd want my company involved in.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I know you will), but Linux _was_ designed with portability in mind. It was designed so that all is needed to be ported is the micro-kernel on top of which is the rest of the OS. I _thought_ this was the reason why there is no real threading support, because its handled differently from architecture to architecture.
Abe- Why would we want to ask you questions? You're media hoopla. Not to mention probably the most irritating person to be on that ever annoying show. Were you born an asshole, or was that what you were working at just before dropping out of school?

If you haven't noticed, that already happens. NC17, etc.
Why reverse engineer it and insert your own key, when you could have a distributed.net project to brute force the original public key?
