You are assuming that the south Koreans wouldn't join the north Koreans. They may not be crazy about communism but they really want america to get teh F*(K out.
Actually, South Korea's US sentiment has more nationalist and pacifist roots more than anything. They beleive that they can deal with North Korea, millitarily and otherwise, on their own, and resent U.S. involvement in what they view as an internal Korean affair. Millitarily, South Korea is more than capeable of taking on the North without U.S. troop aid (although air and naval support would probably be required) and many South Koreans believe that diplomacy is the best way to deal with the north. To say that the South Koreans would up and join Dear Leader Kim simply out of resentment for the U.S. though, is absurd. The South Koreans have a democtratic goverenment and a healthy free-market economy which they are very proud of and would not want to lose. In fact, a large number of South Koreans want to preserve the status quo of two nations, simply because the economic impact of reunification with the North would be devistating to the Korean economy.
Because you are assuming Jong Il is insane you think he has no allies, he's very much sane he just thinks diffrently from you.
Err, he starves millions of people to death in order to maintain his millitary, he kidnaps people from japan and south korea to train his spies, and conducts terrorist acts against the south. His personality quirks aside, if he's not insane, then he is at least profoundly evil.
I dunno, my characters do just fine all the way through Hell without item runs. Sure, I usually have to party with a couple other characters to survive, but that's what makes the game fun anyway. Where item runs really become important is obtaining good Magic Find gear (like Gull) and good gear for Player vs Player (Twitchroe, big damage Lances/Swords, etc) Now, I only play D2 classic, so perhaps things are a bit different on X-Pac, but as it stands many of the Player Vs. Monster aspects of D2 are far too easy.
Yeah, but why the hell does the 'average user' need to run Linux? Don't get me wrong, I love Linux. Its my primary operatiing system and I wouldn't even consider using anything else. But I frankly wouldn't find it very useful if I weren't a programmer, and I wouldn't find it very fun if I didn't like to tinker. Linux (or any Unix for that matter) isn't an operating system for your grandmother to use on her E-Machine. Its simply best kept in the hands of power-users for the desktop, and otherwise it should be kept on the server.
While it would be somewhat more complicated from an administrative and support standpoint to implement, a 'Kerberized' ftp daemon (I believe that one comes with the stock MIT KerberosV distribution) could possibly be a solution to your problem. Kerberos, while technically 'freeware' has been around for quite some time, has existed in several major UNIX distributions, and is used quite extesnivly in many major orginizations. Otherwise, if security is a concern, why not just set up a VPN between the client and your company and have the FTP go through that?

Is RPM Doomed?

Really, there is nothing to difficult about: ./configure make su make install Its not that there is (usually) anything difficult about compiling from source, but rather, the difficult part is managing that software once it is compiled and installed. For instance, say I install package wiz-bang-3.4.5.tar.gz from source. Uh oh! There is a security hole in it and I need to upgrade post-haste! Unless there is an 'uninstall' rule in the makefile, it is going to be a pain in the ass to make sure that everything gets removed correctly, etc. Furthermore, having a centralized database of what packages are installed, when they were installed and what versions are present is quite convienent when administering any system with loads of packages installed or loads of dependencies.
RedHat needs a compile from source package format that most people can figure out. srpms may do it, but I have no clue how to use them.
Well, there really isn't anything more difficult about running 'rpm --rebuild':) My main gripe with SRPMS is that it is virtually impossible to pass configure options to the build script. Sure, there is some arcane way of editing the spec file to accomplish this, but I don't think that it is possible to do this with src.rpm packages, only with.tar.gz packages that have a package.spec file inside.
When I was in high-school, I had an AP Computer Science teacher who would actually make us go in front of the class and write our code on the blackboard. He would point out every error in gruelling detail, and would constantly belittle us for even the simplest mistake. He was especially hard on me, though. Every time I was called to go in front of the class I was treated to a never ending barrage of insults or patronizing remarks. I felt more like I was in some special education course than an AP class. Eventually it came to a head when I was asked to write a balanced tree class in C++ on the board. I was so nervous I just couldn't think. I stood there for a minute, thinking out the problem, and before I could write anything on the board, I heard him sigh and say "thank you, mister typedef, that will be all." That is when I put the dead hooker in the trunk of his car. I had her laying under my bed wrapped in plastic for about a week, and had been saving her for a special occasion. I jimmied his trunk and dumped the corpse in, and then cut his break-lines so that the slightest bump would cause them to break. That afternoon, as he was leaving school, he crashed into another car at the intersection outside our school, and the dead hooker went flying out his trunk. The last I heard, he was doing 40-life in the local pound-me-in the ass prison. So that, my friend, is how I came over my coding funk. Hope this helps!
...despite the fact that I never saw a GUI on SCO. You should be thankful for that. Open-Desktop was nicknamed 'Open-DeathTrap' by the very engineers that worked on it.
I would assume that the 'Destktop' standalone version is installed with those products, however, and not the full fledged 'Standard' version. IIRC, the 'Desktop' version has no client-server functionality and operates only on the local machine. I could also be completley wrong. Its been some time since I've worked with SQL server, and the last version I worked with was 7.0.
Sure, GNOME already has the Pan newsreader, but it's clearly designed for computer-literate people and doesn't really integrate with any email client.
What? slrn and tin are newsreaders designed for 'computer literate' users, Pan is just another point-and=click interface that anyone should be able to use. And why on earth would you need your NNTP client to integrate with an e-mail client? I suppose it would be kind of handy to have NNTP integrated into Evolution, but I doubt that its a feature thats holding it back from becoming mainstream.
The Isralis keep kicking our asses so bad in mock dogfights because they have some of the best trained pilots in the world. Being involved in a nearly perpetual state of warfare for the past 20 years has kind of given them an edge on the training and experience side of things. Its kind of a non-issue anyway, because 99.9% of air engagements are beyond visual range anyway.
NIS isn't that bad, as long as you don't use it as the primary authentication service, and just use it to distribute user/group information across the network. On my network, I have the password field for each user in NIS set to something that dosen't map to a real password (i.e. +++) and I've configured PAM on all hosts to autheticate via Kerberos. Once they've obtained a set of credentails from the KDC, thier group, home directory, shell, etc is obtained from the NIS database. You can accomplish basically the same thing using LDAP to distribute the user/group information, and theoritically (I haven't tried this personally) you could get this all to work out of the box using a Win2k box with Services for UNIX installed. AFAIK, PAM ships on Solaris and most Linux distros, so implementing this on the client end of things shouldn't be too much of a problem either.
WOW thats funney! And haev you heard of this new website called goatse.cx!? Its reeally funney! It has a pictujre of a man streching his anus! Eww, gross!! LOR~~!!@#
is the lack of Kerberos authentication, or any type of reliable authentication for that matter, in NFS. I would classify this as a 'shortcomning' rather than a 'bug' if the exports(5) manpage didn't seem to imply that it was possible. In any event, I really can't see myself using FreeBSD in any kind of production environment where security is even a minor concern when such a problem exists in NFS. Does anyone know if this issue is going to be addressed in later releases of FreeBSD? I think at least someone should take the 5 minutes to update the manpage...
The site seems to use flash, which actually is supported by mozilla. I'm assuming you're running linux, so all you'll need to do is install the flash plugin for netscape, and create a symbolic link to it in/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
My Nazi ISP has done that for years, along with ports 21, 23, 25, 110, 6000, and anything else in/etc/services which might be considered remotely useful. Unfortunatly, there is no other alternative for broadband in my area, so I just have to take it and like it.

2.4.9 Kernel Released
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Does anyone know what the deal is with the kerneli patch? Short of an unofficial hacked patch to work with newer kernels, kerneli hasn't been updated since 2.4.3, and there seems to be some serious issues currently with file corruption when using kerneli with 2.4 series kernels. Alternative projects like cryptoapi and loop-aes have sprung up from currently foobar'd kerneli, and while they work great, I can't help but wonder what's going on with the kerneli project that it hasn't been updated in so long.
