When your stuff is only used by 3% of the market, and that 3% just happens to be all of the pear shaped, pasty white, date-less losers in the world, I would consider that a pretty big failure.
I'll just strap my wallet to my chest with duct tape now and write my social security number in huge numbers on the back of my t-shirt for fast credit checks.
No need to go through all that trouble, just sign up for Micro$oft Passport.
I thought only inquires involved in one'seeking credit are listed, and that insurance, employment, and credit checks done in regard to an unsolicited offer of credit aren't publically reportable.
They'll show up on your copy of the credit report though.
Federal law mandates that people who are behind on child support be denied licenses or any privileges from government whatsoever. It even mandates states enforce these provisions (or lose funding for something I believe, just like 55 mph speed limits and higway funds back in the day).
(Nevada has on many of their forms and in their laws mention of this, including a provision that all such restrictions be abolished if the Federal law mandating them is repealed.)
Also, child support violations are often felonies (thank Clinton) which also cause loss of civil rights, licensability, etc.
These factors can make it illegal for a person to work in a certain position and/or illegal for a company to hire/refuse to fire such an individual.
So it might not be a matter of corporate fascism as much as Federal mandate.
Kernel panics still happen, like, once in a billion years.
One of my friends is having tons of kernel panics with both the 2.4.19 that came with SuSe 8.1 and with 2.4.21-pre3. Noth due to IDE driver problems (HPT 372 driver) 2.4.20 has a filesystem bug, so that is out of the question.
Linux (especially the IDE code) is NOT completely reliable. Kernel panics still happen for unknown reasons.
I love Linux, but even I'll admit that.
I don't want to see Linux used where a kernel panic causes serious injury, damage to property or the environment, or death.
MPAA doesn't want you to skip commercials on a DVD, even though that is fair use. MPAA doesn't want you even making an excerpt from a movie for a classroom exercise, even though that is fair use.
Yes, the military is moving toward digital spread-spectrum, encrypted technology (mostly because it's a helluva lot harder to jam or intercept), but they'd still like clear channels thank-you-very-much.
The military had spread spectrum long before the consumers did - they invented it and kept it secret for a while. Sometimes I think they should have kept it secret still).
No we don't need any rules, unrseg5latedd ireless &*($# is fine, it's not (BUY PILLS CHEAP NOW AT WWW.PILLZ.FOO) like th5783490462 is any iiiinterference or abuse of it.
At least if the code to an open source project goes missing, you can be sure that nobody found it interesting or useful.
Or, the person running the site that hosted it stops paying his ISP bill, and no one had bothered to mirror it.
That is why you can't find the Unix Midi Plugin anymore (I've tried numerous times - all 404s and invalid domains). So you can't listen to midis embedded in webpages under any non-proprietary OS.

Not all Open Source users are white, you dumbass.
If you are still using Red Hat, you deserve the government in your systems.
Nah. Intel would crush them in that market. :)

With the medical system in the USA, you'd probably get $5000 in medical expenses for a bloody nose. :)
I'm an Earthlink DSL customer (Las Vegas, NV, USA) and the same thing happened to me!!
:/
The account is almost useless now, over 100 spams a week, less than 5% of the mail I get is legitimate.
Thanks Earthlink!

Is this all (still) correct?

How would I know I _really_ downloaded a cert from your site?
How would I know my HTTP connection wasn't hijacked?
It seems to be working for me.
At least Slashdot FIXES stuff they break when doing upgrades, unlike the Linux IDE code!
(yeah, I'm bitter)
Just say PCI on your website.
Then have them sue Microsoft because of what IE (or any browser) will render that as.
That's scary.
XXX is often used in source code to mean "FIXME".
Are they on crack?

Exactly who decides what constitutes "relentlessly attacking your network"?
That depends on how much money the attacker has.
No one uses 16 bit apps anymore. This is 2003, for cryin out loud!
They'd still be up if they were using Linux instead.

Stifling innovation?

Not by the Microsoft definition...
Being convicted of a felony, as bad as it is (and it is bad), isn't as bad as being accused of child molestation.
Neighbors don't firebomb someone's house and/or beat them to a pulp merely because they have a felony conviction.
The Linux companies have prior art... ;)

CARRIER LOST.
We should have an open place where we can speak freely without fear of reprisal, even if our opinion is not that of the masses.
;)
Like Slashdot.
It has a small footprint and hardware watchdog timer support, what else do you need really?
Umm how about stability?
After the Linux 2.4.20 DATA CORRUPTION fiasco, in a "STABLE" kernel, I'm not feeling too good about that idea...
There still isn't a Linux 2.4.21 out yet, nor any warnings on the kernel sites.
