This will update resolv.conf with a overridden "seach" and apparently this will get a the dns servers to return NXdomain. Apparently they only fake results when it goes to things like *.com *.earthlink.net and *.dyndns.net. I personnaly think that dyndns.org should sue someone.
I wonder if this guy is probably just worried about offending microsoft who has lots of jobs in india, or if india still has the impression that they aren't 3rd world. india has only 60% literacy, which is quite bad. https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos /in.html
Eventually they will consider that a bad thing and do something about it.
Not only that, but they have the audacity to call it personal records!
Federal authorities last week arrested five men in connection with a 2005 database breach at LexisNexis Group that the database giant said led to the theft of personal records on more than 310,000 individuals.
As soon as I got my bank card with the visa/mastercard logo three years ago, I called the bank and told them no thanks, send me a normal card. I hope that means I have no debit card capabilities on my account, but who knows for sure. In anycase, I haven't gotten hit yet.
I really enjoyed how all the propaganda for debit card talked about the convinience of debit over writting checks, when it's really for people who cannot get a credit card, and it seems to be more and more inferior to a credit card. I guess the banks really want to only credit cards in the hands of people that will not pay the bill in full each month.
The only real identity theft security will come when more massive fraud occurs and the banks do the math on what the lack of trust and fixing the messes is costing them over real security.
I love how congress passes laws like DCMA but never passes a law banning unnecessary identity storage by all these corporations. At least pass a vague regulation like HIPPA or SOX for the credit agencies.
"Major highlights in the release include KDE 3.4.3, GNOME 2.12.2, XFCE 4.2.2, GCC 3.4.4 and a 2.6.15 kernel."
fedore core 5 will be kde 3.5, gnome 2.14, gcc 4.1, kernel 2.6.16, and xfce who cares.
Not that any of those versions are officially out yet. I know that gentoo guys are frequently the first to patch some beta version of code to a beta version of gcc on 64bits quickly, but I'm surprised their release is so outdated. Being on those older versions doesn't make the software more stable (bug free) or the platform more stable (less radical changes), just older.
hopefully no one takes offense, was just an observation.
because once fax machines get replaced by email, pagers get merged with cellphones, and houses don't get phone numbers for second lines that are outgoing only (ie: modem's) or just replaced by DSL, then we are going to have plenty of phone numbers left...
Think about it, nine digits is 1 billion different phone numbers.. population us=270mil
rh7 isn't a disaster, there were several big QA issues that shouldn't have been there, which was mostly testing binary only packages (ie: several jdk's, oracle, etc.), but by in large, it's the most feature full distro out there (by virtue of them using bleading edge software). I haven't had any stability issues due to this, and neither has most people too.
I also appreciate RedHat for giving linux hackers jobs, which debian will never do.
Has debian ever improved linux outside of their installer/update software? A tell-tale sign of this would be if any other non.deb distro uses debian produced packages.... I'm not sure about that... I do know that rh brought pam to linux... And they do major development to critical components of most linux distro's.
I'll stick with redhat linux until I think that I spend too much time fussing with it or they drop the ball in integrating the latest linux software.
I suspect most other redhat users will use the same methods, and that's why there are some many redhat users.
This country needs a non-profit to produce the software to run this country... Mostly for municipals and states.
Think about it like this:
We have greedy contractors producing software for one state, keeping the copyrights, and selling the same technology over and over to other states. A non profit, can pay techies $100+ an hour, and produce free software for all the states/cities to use. End the duplication... and the waste of money.
Are you aware the jboss is switching over to LGPL? They have announced their intent to do so a couple days ago.
Here are my concerns:
1) Clarity between business (ie: proprietary software) and general purpose software. ASP additions are likely proprietary to the business that they are in. If they keep their changes private it is because the software changes they have made give them a competative advantage.
I see "closing the ASP loophole" as a restriction of usage to being: "this software cannot be used for proprietary purposes". That isn't freedom. I understand the ElectricFence vs. Be Inc. case, but I don't see where an ASP (ie: a business selling a service) must be forced to disclose.
The lack of vision was clear during the "One Click " patent war. This doesn't prevent any software from doing this, only from other businesses from doing this. No one from free/open software groups said anything about this. at all. very disturbing.
2)
There are alternatives for many GPL'd software, and I hope that GPL doesn't become more of an affront to businesses using them.
Take gtk+ for example. Do you think that sun/hp would consider taking gtk+/gnome on, if all the libraries were GPL'd?
RMS has stated (in particular when renaming LGPL) that LGPL should be used less and less to put the squeeze on comercial software developers... Well, it also puts a squeeze on BSD license free software developers and we all lose. The three GPL libraries of fame (gettext,getgetopt,readline) will be replaced with LGPL or other replacements. getopt is already gone with popt, gettext will be phased out starting in less then 12 months, and readline will hopefully just go LGPL. The shame of it all, is that readline going LGPL would have made users lifes better... I'm constantly frustrated at FSF when non GPL software (not always commercial software) doesn't use readline because it's GPL, and they aren't.
Does anyone besides RMS see more LGPL software as a threat? I certainly don't. I think that it has only encouraged more LGPL/GPL software being created.
3) "linking" - yes. This needs to be cleared up, but so does distribution. If ASP are considered distributing, then wouldn't intra-organization? More attacks on business
4) Legality of GPL. No one mentions that GPL doesn't make my changes GPL, it just allows me to continue using the GPL software (ie: the "viral" nature is in the LICENSE, not in the copyright). You cannot copyright someone elses works, only refuse usage of the GPL software unless certain conditions are met (ie: patches under GPL/LGPL too).
5) Free software on non-free platforms. RMS has stated if linux were around when GPL was created, that he wouldn't have allowed GPL software to exist on non-free platforms. That's horrible, gcc is a better program because it's useful for more people. Is it not possible to write a GPL program with non GPL software (ie: motif, MFC, etc)? That's a big pity, as it would close of a lot more development of software. I mean, if this made clearer in the next revision, and it isn't made permisable, then people will simply drop GPL and move to a license that makes it clearer (and permisable).
Finally, I'd like to say, that as one person who has "brought" linux into serveral organizations, that I cannot risk using GPL software that I might have to disclose our changes. If the license turns bad for ASP, I will review all software licensed soley under this new version, and _not_ use it if there aren't commercial counterparts. The freedom to _use_ software as one see's fit is very important to a lot of people, and free software might lose out if they don't make themselves aware of it.
Yes, I've ranted on a bit, but the new license concerns a lot of folks, and I'm a little more then concerned about GPL libraries, and your continued hope to end the "ASP loophole". I hope that the state of the "free software" revolution is taken into account, and what effects each loophole closing will take.
But I'm glad that RMS has stated that he will consult free software developers. Hopefully he considers freebsd/apache developers freesoftware developers and also will consider the public (ie: the people who pay the bills of the developers, give free software market share) into account too.
Seriously, the point is that 200fps will easily be burned up by greater detail (FSAA/blur/motion fx). The problem is how to turn off and on the better looks when the scene is crowded..
Yes, this is really good news. Hopefully Intel will fix their chipset problems by q2-2001.
But the problem does remain, memory speeds are too slow now. The problem is going to be critical when machines starts shipping with >512meg ram. There is very little that cache can do to be effective.
Second, I run a small distro, about one user... Shall I inform you of my plans?
Should redhat talk to all 10,000+ developers that worked on the code they ship, or just you.
I actually like that rh7 has a later version of your code, and I don't think I will be bugging the gcc mailing lists for any problem I have due to it not being "released".
I cannot respect the wishes of the authors free software that I use if their wish is that I don't use it. I mean for that much hassle I would just pay for the software.
Congrats.. to the KDE team, and users. This
product looks amazing, and I'm sure it's been hard to keep spirits high, especially in this battleground we call the linux community.
looking forward to given a runthough (when I get a bigger hdd).
That (and I say this with respect Ted) is such a crock. We are talking c++, and it's at&t's fault for not bring an ABI for C++, not redhat.
Is your theory, that marketing called up alan, asked for a piece of linux that's neither binary forward nor binary backwards compatible. He says, C++ of course?
That's so lame, the real problem is c++ is crap until they get a standard ABI.
Now, I'm not certain, but couldn't redhat push out the new c++ library on top of redhat 7.x (when it comes out) so that other vendors don't have to ship the redhat version? Maybe not, but I don't care anyway.
I'm sick of this va/andover anti redhat crap. This used to be a community, now it's a damn warzone, and it's spreading beyond the *.advocacy/*.shadow-conspiracy places. If it had a bit of truth, don't you think we would know?
What the steering commitee did was right, but the theories are worthless.
Please Malda, end the fscking troll/flame stories, and save/.
No one submits bug reports. Ever bug I encounter in redhat is fixed, because I submit bug reports (to the author, or to redhat). I'm only a user of opensource software, the least I can do is report problems.
For all this talk about redhat being buggy, I have heard of only two true bugs, other then hardware incompatabilities.
I rather have redhat pushing forward, then debain which is not doing any more security fixes for their old version less then five months of their new one?!?
But I will not post inflamatory remarks like debian leaves their users constantly stranded just because I prefer a different distro.
It is up to glibc to decide what the interace will be. If and when glibc uses bind 9's resolver, we shall see what their stragegy is with the API. It's just like/usr/include/linux. It comes from the kernel but glibc controls it (this has been a much confused point over time).
What I'm waiting for personally is dhcp 3.0 final, so I can connect my dhcp with dyndns and head off w2k...

Anycase this whole distro crud will be tossed when connectiva finishes their apt port to rpm... and when redcarpet eliminates the competition

because reverse dns isn't authoratative. I could reverse dns all my hosts to whitehouse.gov, and that would suck.
If network whois records were killed, we couldn't track down who's ISP is allowing spamers etc, so we can complain.
