If they brought copyright issues up then google would be up shit-creek without a paddle. Storing cached copies of pages that users can view? Suits you sir.....
Letting the world know about bugs to force people like M$ to release patches is all well and good...
BUT...
Mozilla is intended to be a widely used application & if any security bugs were publicly announced it'd be next to impossible to upgrade all NN Million copies of it out there quickly and easily. The script kiddies that hang around on #l33t would have a field day!
It's just not practical to re-release/patch Mozilla every few days just for the sake of being able to see the bugs in bugzilla. Fair enough, it's open source, but i'm sure if you check in the license there's NOTHING about witholding information (such as bugs) about the product.
For those who can't wait and want to play their old games/demos, get UAE. It's cool! I just love watching those old demos - State of the art was a classic!
OK, so I can't read...... I didn't realise it'd been around for more than 15 years:-) Anyway, if you need a free shell account, freeshell is pretty cool.
Good news - But I wonder what a Kubrick Film would be like in the hands of a director that isn't known to be a perfectionist, as Kubrick himself was known to be.
It'll be interesting when "A Clockwork Orange" opens in the UK on Friday - Kubrick himself banned the movie, and it hasn't been available on video/DVD! - I think when he died, somebody must've realised that they could make a shed-load of cash by lifting the ban, and re-releasing it in the UK.
I've seen a pirated version on video & It'll be great to finally see it in the cinema.
It's true - That's what freshmeat is for (and IMHO not slashdot).
How about adding another section (to accompany apache, askslashdot, etc - maybe called "releases") so that people can filter the stories out a bit easier.
They were 24% done already and have to start over again now." is a little misleading... It's very misleading - They don't have to start from scratch, as they could just re-issue the not-intel (little-endian?) stubs. (Correct me if I'm wrong:-)
Slashdot Mirror
The Slashdot Jon Katz review, another slashdot review by Allen Knowleton Wilson, and you can buy the book at ThinkGeek.

There are only three enigmas of the same type as the one that was stolen.
Oh, and here is Jon Katz's review of The Code Book by Simon Singh.
I've read the book & it's well worth it.
Here is a cool applet that simulates an enigma machine.
... and this is how it works.

Oh, and there's WinUAE, too.

Erm, what about freeshell???
It's been around for ages.....
>Anyone know any more about this?
It's being re-released in the UK on Friday.
Is it also re-opening in the states?

Just my 2 cents.....

Don't forget:
"Netscape Communicator with 128-bit strong encryption is now available worldwide"
(with the exception of a few countries that
America hates)
Saves having to use Fortify instead.
Opening up the source code to the world will increase the block counts in two ways:
1) Optimisation
2) Hacked clients returning blocks unchecked, as previously seen with distributed.net
By using a hacked client and _lots_ of different
e-mail addresses to report completed blocks with, any hacked-client-antics could go undetected....
