What's unnerving is fans who think they have some right to dictate the direction of Star Trek.
Well, fans do watch Star Trek on TV on free-to-air channels, and the producers somehow get their money, so of course fans have full rights to dictate how Star Trek should be like!
... SELinux simply gets Linux to the point that it's technically as secure as Windows... Microsoft has enough control over Windows to theoretically improve on this, but I don't believe it's possible for Linux to exceed the security level it's at without scrapping the kernel...
You've just brought up an interesting discussion:
Can a poorly-funded open source software become as secure as a well-funded proprietary software?
Woah! I've just became flamebait! Goodbye, mod points, I'll miss you.
There was a point in time when there was an SCO... that actually focused on technology.... They also made some products in their Tarentella line which was a port of the Microsoft SMB stack...
I'm pretty sure I misunderstood you, and you knew more than me. But in case there's any confusion:
The "old SCO" that produced the Tarentella was renamed to Tarantella, Inc. in 2001, and was bought by Sun Microsystems in 2005.
The present "SCO Group" was formerly Caldera, renamed to The SCO Group in 2002.
I think you're quite right - Caldera simply wanted to use the good "SCO" name for their greedy purposes.

I didn't realize so many people will reply to you and continue challenging you. I understand you're merely stating your VIEWPOINT and OPINION, and I was just seeking clarification. I hope all the extra challenges don't upset you.

We had this discussion in February. mcgrew (92797) said:
I hope they sell them at Wal-mart. A Wal-mart Wall-Wart would be cool!
Imagine a beowolf cluster of OW!! OW!! STOP HITTING ME!!!
In fact, I was secretly hoping they'll recreate that particular thread here, word for word.
When I continued reading, a sentence entered my mind suddenly:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...
In a clandestine operation, Googol has launched a covert operation deep into the hearts of Gatus and Joba's sorcery libraries...
Smiley? You have smileyware on your computer? You don't belong to Slashdot, out out you go! :)
I think OP meant the book was 200 years old.
Of course if OP is over 200 years old, we'd have to ask: What the heck is he doing fishing all the time??
a large sock in the trousers wouldn't hurt either.
The national database - they have measurements on socks in my trousers too??
think misdirection.
Think I can use this technique on the ladies I meet?

Hooray for the people who download and keep these documents, all 2 of these people!

Cadets truly aren't more than horny 21 year-olds (I was a cadet... trust me I know!
I've just watched Star Trek. I think you right-on. (Woooohooo! Female cadets wearing micro-skirts and showing off their legs!!)
Very insightful comment by the way. It's also a complete turnabout from Clifford Stoll's "nobody taking responsibility" era 20 years ago.

It ... lots of flash.
And some leggy flesh too. *drooling again*
Exactly. I have no children, they insensitive clods!
But I have many wives. They're called Athlon, Celeron, and so on ...
Is your roommate female? *drooling*
Sorry, that was a joke. On rereading it I realized it sounded offensive. Sorry about that.
Your Twinhead Subnote is cool. Really.
Cool ...
Can I load Trumpet Winsock Dialer and Netscape 2.0 on it?
I don't mind Telix or Procomm Plus too ...
But you'll only get the linux Acer Aspire One when you pry it from my cold, dead hands...:-)
That's okay, I'll use my Linux Sony Vaio P netbook (1.4 pounds) instead.
(Looking at my empty pockets and long nose ...)
it was definitely a conversation-starter. If you pulled it out in a public place you'd have questions from everyone around you.
You'd also have to be handsome too.
I'm short, fat, ugly, and I carry an Eee 901 white. Nobody has ever approached me.
I wonder if I paste pink flowers on it ...

Mod parent up, cleared my confusion, thanks.

The Troll Flag in the Slashdot Message

gavron,
I didn't realize so many people will reply to you and continue challenging you. I understand you're merely stating your VIEWPOINT and OPINION, and I was just seeking clarification. I hope all the extra challenges don't upset you.
Once again, thank you again for your time and effort in your replies.
