If the promises in the preview books made it into the Players Handbook, this is the least pigeon holed DnD edition ever. As characters can take class features from other classes. So you can have the fighter who can pick locks, or the cleric who can specialise in Katana. I always liked WFRP for its flexibility, and I really hope when DnD 4E is released the promises are kept up and it gets more flexibility.
I didnt flame them, just pointed out there opinion is only an opinion. And their blatant claim that I could not GPL code I personally wrote annoyed me. It was GPL and donated to mplayer. The overall status of mplayer license does not affect my rights to GPL my code. Debian on the other hand seem to think they can govern what license my code is released under.
Last time I checked on debians flame war with mplayer debian were claiming I didnt hold the copyright on code I wrote. So I would take debians opinion of legality with a huge pinch of salt.
http://www.dnscon.org runs in Blackpool England every year and is slowly expanding, entrance is very cheap about 20UKP. This is a great place to go to talk techy about security because most of the people attending and speaking actually work on the frontline.
The very way this question is worded indicates the person asking it is thinking the wrong way. The billing system has NOTHING to do with the web site, they should be seperate, if the CC information is not held on the web site then no haxor no matter how good he is can steal it from the website.
Website should be for providing info, billing systems should be for billing people. The website should be able to send info to the billing system but not vice versa. There is no need for a billing system to face externally. Just remeber not to store web transaction logs on your website in plain view and you have the problem sorted.
Whoever wrote this obviously has never seen how badly houses can be built. How many times have you seen major disasters where everyone asks how did that building ever be allowed to be built. Engineering these days is a task on building something that will do the job for the least amount of money. No-one ever gives you the budget to improve a working section of code.
Along the same lines I currently get stiffed
paying for loads of useless content I dont want
purely due to the fact I cannot just pay for
the channels I want on my cable TV. So I end up
paying for content I never watch and dont want.
It just shows that the content is of such low
value to me that they have to force feed it to
me. I hate brit-pop so I have to have 3 channels
of brit-pop.

Why is it when schemes like this come out they always use terms like "It will be far too dificult for the average user". Is every person on the internet expected to crack the protection personally. Dont these companies realise all it takes is for one person to write the crack, then the "average user" can just run the program for himself.
It just seems to me at times that large businesses seem unable to comprehend the basic concept of a programmable machine. The ability to store a list of instructions and repeat. Given the manufacturers reluctance to cripple dvd-rom drives, purposely making them easy to mod to multi-region. I bet they start advertising cd-roms that can read these so called protected disks fairly soon after release.
And that difference is big enough to make the comparison completely invalid. RedHat 7.0 was available for free download for everyone who wanted to try it for for a couple of $$ from cheap bytes. This means you can effectively try before you buy. Try that with windoze and windoze software. If you like redhat then you can buy their support package if not then try something else nothing lost apart from a little time.
I also wouldnt mind betting a lot of the complainers are people using cheap copies anyway and as such havent paid RedHat a penny. I recently installed RH7 on two machines for my work, although I swore about a few of the bugs over the last couple of days I am not going to go mental over them as some people are. This is Linux people, this is choice, if there is the wrong version of GCC then compile your own, download the 6.2 rpms. Help fix the problem if you that way enclined. But unless you paid real cash shut up!
Dont know about CDE but RiscOS had a taskbar and a start button like object before Microsoft had even begun to think about Win95. For those not in UK RiscOS ran on the acorn/archimedes range of machines.

Eh, you stuck this on the wrong post, I pointed out ASN.1 is not dead. Or have you never heard of GSM?
Is binary xml not just a stupid idea and clashing with ASN.1.
ASN.1 is already a standard, used heavilly in the smartcard/GSM sim industry.
Seeing as lightning can demolish buildings then a UPS isnt perfect either :-)

In Edinburgh they actually started to remove bus routes because when the buses were full they grounded on the speed humps.
