I think there's nothing wrong with killing a newborn even, although it's unpalatable, because she or he has no personality yet
You obviously have never had a child of your own. They develop personality long before you ever meet them.
My daughter (she's 2 now) fell in love with Guns n' Roses music when she was about 5-6 months along. She'd jump and kick and when she got further along, you could actually watch my wife's stomach and see her dancing around.
To this day, one of her favorite songs is 'Paradise City'.
An even larger concern is that well meaning, but otherwise clueless folk such as yourself will read the blatherings of Steve Gibson and not fall over laughing.
Have you read about his super-duper radical new invention of "Nano Probes"? Hint, think 'ping'.
For more information on this monkey, see a writeup my brother did on his work. As you read, notice that the email headers address a real security mailing list, not Slashdot.
Say someone wrote a "macro virus" for some Linux GUI mail client which supported scripting of some kind (Python, for arguments sake).
Add to that "That has no security mechanism" and your analogy would be accurate. The thing is tho, name one. Name one sigle Linux mail client that supports scripting without security!
Not only that, but look at netcat for an example. It is used in about a thousand ways that have nothing to do with security. However, it is also a very popular cracking tool. (same with gcc, if you take it to extremes)
The reason StarOffice doesn't do so well loading powerpoint is because MS regularly changes their format JUST SO IT DOESN'T WORK FOR OTHER SOFTWARE! Are you blind and deaf? Haven't you followed the trial at all?
That is the point. If he had included GPL code, this wouldn't even be an issue, because he would be forced to open it up. But he can include all the BSD code he wants and the BSD community is screwed by their own license.

It does say "original author". How can there be an *original* author unless there is also a modification by a second author? Otherwise, he should have just said "author".
Support for laptops that goes beyond, "Hey I got it to not fall over for an hour at a time!" This would include things like hot-plugging and hot-docking to docking staitons and cradles, as well as intermittent connections to multiple networks (something MS doesn't do well, either...)
You've got to be shitting. My brother has a laptop running 99% CVS software and it has been up for months. When he's done using it, he just suspends.
Actually, I find that it usually takes a day or two to set up a windoze workstation, including swapping out 50 CDS, searching the net for drivers, and cleaning up the crap afterwards.
Linux? One CD and 30 minutes, maybe.
13. Can the 64-bit version of Windows Whistler read, write, and boot from GPT disks?
Yes.
14. Can the 64-bit version of Windows Whistler read, write, and boot from MBR disks?
The 64-bit version of Windows Whistler can read and write MBR disks, but cannot boot from MBR disks.
15. Can the 32-bit version of Windows Whistler read, write, and boot from GPT disks?
No. The 32-bit version will see only the Protective MBR. The EE partition will not be mounted or otherwise exposed to application software.
16. Can the 32-bit version of Windows Whistler read, write, and boot from MBR disks?
Yes.
17. Can Windows 2000, Windows NT 4, or Windows 95/98 read, write, and boot from GPT?
No. Again, legacy software will see only the Protective MBR.
18. What about mixing and matching GPT and MBR disks on the same system?
GPT and MBR disks can be mixed only on 64-bit systems, and the following restrictions apply:
* The Windows Whistler loader and the boot partition must reside on a GPT disk. Other hard disks can be either MBR or GPT.
* Both MBR and GPT disks can be present in a single dynamic disk group. Volume sets can span both MBR and GPT disks, However, the MBR cylinder alignment restriction might cause some difficulties mirroring or striping MBR and GPT disks.
Slashdot Mirror
I hope you aren't serious. If you are, then you are a complete paranoid dumbass.
So you mean it is almost as reliable as my Nextel i1000 plus . . . . . ?

You can't say that's not personality.

This is trasnport. You are downloading it, aren't you?
Just write a script to import it into your choice of databases.
Not only that, but look at netcat for an example. It is used in about a thousand ways that have nothing to do with security. However, it is also a very popular cracking tool. (same with gcc, if you take it to extremes)
Lock picking tools aren't illegal. I have a few myself. I also have a full set of Slim Jims left over from a brief stint working on a car lot.
Not a bug. It's enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot with!
What a nice fella you are. Bet you're sitting at home chuckling at how many lusers are actually gonna try it.
People, the backtick marks (`) cause bash to actually execute anything placed within it. In this case, it was encoded to be "rm -r ~"
You can do echo $'\x72'$'\x6d' $'\x2d'$'\x72' $'\x7e' (notice, no backticks in there) to see it for yourselves.

Dude, the only thing that *requires* a reboot in Linux is upgrading the kernel. Nothing else. Period.
That is the point. If he had included GPL code, this wouldn't even be an issue, because he would be forced to open it up. But he can include all the BSD code he wants and the BSD community is screwed by their own license.
My boss sent me an email that was 365 lines of message source for 20 lines of text.
You've got to be shitting. My brother has a laptop running 99% CVS software and it has been up for months. When he's done using it, he just suspends.
I also have Apache, Postgres and various other server type programs running.

My mom uses Linux, and she has for close to two years now. She's perfectly happy with it.
If your hands aren't resting on the keyboard, you won't have the problem keeping the device from moving anyways. Problem solved.
Can someone in the know explain how this is different from QOS?

So did Open Office build 627.
