Prove it. When you can get anything but an 800 number, or a form letter from the FCC, call me. I've personally dealt with this sort of thing - neighbor's HAM was so powerful, I picked up his conversations in the wire to my speakers.
How would anyone know? The neighbors, who will suddenly get interference on THEIR Channel 13? Have you ever tried complaining to the FCC about interference? Good luck:
"However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into a different outlet from that the receiver is connected. Consult your local distributors or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with emission limits."
Illegal-illegal, as in "FCC doesn't certify the frequencies here" illegal. As in, who gives a crap. What else can be expected from a slashdotter who uses their real name?
I'm a rich kid from NYC who went to a swanky upstate school, and throughout my whole life, my parents and teachers said that I was special and could do anything I wanted. Now, my boss doesn't think that, and it makes me cry. What do I do now? Do you people really work for a living for 50 years?
Use of the term "best practices" indicates that you've already assumed that whatever you're doing is wrong, and that whatever someone else tells you to do is right. "Best practices" is to IT what the "zero tolerance" concept is to schools - no questioning, no thought required, simply doing whatever the current meme dictates.
It was a very poor troll. If your beloved African nations didn't suck so hard and spend so much time killing one another, they wouldn't need the food that we grow for free, transport to them for free, and then give them for free.
Great, its an article about SELinux. Now every Infosec fucktard who got his CISSP from a cereal box will be issuing memos & whitepapers about how everything at work has to run SELinux.
MS will spew so much mostly-useless but slightly-proprietary info around, that nobody can implement a 'clean room' version of anything, thus, MS will use its IP Hammer on any threatening projects. Are you listening Novell?
Um, why is this even on Slashdot? To get more page hits from the politically savvy geeks who somehow read NO other news sources? Taco, just because your life revolves around Slashdot, doesn't mean that others' do.
Socialist theory, check. Blowhards (ESR, Perens, Chirac) to pontificate and piss on the grave of corporations, check. Unappealing brown theme, check. Sodomy, check. After all, why pay good money for a real distro, with a company behind it to provide support, just because its not a French one?
You mean that by analyzing my DNS and HTTP traffic, either in the clear or from a cracked WEP session, that you can infer, or worse, identify, certain definite pieces of information about my Internet usage habits? Boy, if I had a tool that could do that, I'd certainly astroturf it on Slashdot.

Absolutely. The addition of CALC.EXE and SOL.EXE are going to bloat it severely.

In other words, DIAF, call someone who cares.
I do not think that the word "security" means what you think it means.
Or, you're a FUD-peddler whose job it is to convince Gartner that you don't suck... I'm not sure.

You DO realize that X-wrt is just the GUI for OpenWRT? Or are you just a wannabe-techie/fanboi/ricer/douchebag?
Easy, snarf your neighbor's wireless connection, and dump your router entirely.
So, in all the time you save not reinventing the wheel, what DO you invent?
The acceptance of the recent "best practices" craze is indicative of the dumbing down of IT that started with Ellen Feiss.
Maybe THATS where he's been hiding!

MS is still a bunch of douchebags for playing in the broken system though.

Do you fuck it, too?
What about:
-1, Rampant Faggotry
-2, Zealous Pimpleface
-3, ESR Buttfucker
?

Look, a correctly used apostrophe!
Dude, DST happened 2 days ago. I hope you've already SPENT the money, like, 2 months ago, in order to accomodate this.
Socialist theory, check.
Blowhards (ESR, Perens, Chirac) to pontificate and piss on the grave of corporations, check.
Unappealing brown theme, check.
Sodomy, check.
After all, why pay good money for a real distro, with a company behind it to provide support, just because its not a French one?
I do not think it means what you think it means.
So it can "absolutely" be justified, yet it is also "depending on the circumstances".
Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
Why is it obvious/implicit that you don't have the right to remain anonymous, save in a society where you have no rights?
You get the "-1, Douchebag" mod for using the word 'workflow'.
Example: Please put Linux on Dell hardware.
Other example: Dell sucks for not using linux !!1!eleventy!
Either way, its feedback, what did they expect?

Will the Tute Screw be coated with this material, so that you REALLY don't see it coming?
