We can also run "up2date packagename" and it will grab it... as long as it was something shipped with the distro, that is. And up2date does dependencies for you, which is nice. Unfortunately, up2date doesn't grab programs that weren't in the distrobution.:(
You can easily set up your own up2date server, using current. Apart from letting you add your own packages, it will also save you a bunch of bandwidth, if you run multiple RedHat systems.
Read section 3 of the GPL again. They are distributing binaries of GPL'ed software comercially, and thus must offer you the source in the same way they are distributing the binaries (which is by anonymous ftp).
See the GPLFAQ.
Well, I could have picked a cisco router with a 33 MHz Motorola 68360 as a example instead, and I stand by my statement that the Linksys AP could run IOS, if it was ported. But as far as I know, all Cisco's IOS hardware runs on PowerPC or Motorola 68xxx hardware. One of the reasons we went for Aironet AP's at work was that they run IOS, but their 802.1Q support is also very nice. I like IOS for routers and other net gear.
A very easy to build antenna for 802.11b/g is the cantenna.
It's much simpler than the Pringles can yagi, and to top that off, it delivers a much higher gain.
I thinks his point was, more likely, that no single person knows everything about our modern extremly complex systems. Even a chief engineer wouldn't (realisticly!) be able to wrap his head around all the minute details needed to build a 747. And why should he have to? He has specialists who understand all the minute details. He can concern himself with the objectives the contruction process has to achive, drawing on his specialists when he needs to.
You're not powerless, just because you can't know everything there is to how about everything, on a sufficiently large-scale project.
Ok, I guess that some might consider that two words, but ever since I downloaded RedHat at the maximum speed of my ADSL, while RedHat servers were overwhelmed, I've been a fan.
Of course, if you're using the random data for cryptography or other security-related applications, you can't be certain I'm not squirreling away a copy. But I'm not, really.
Even if he isn't, what's to stop anyone of the route between you and him, from saving a copy, or altering the numbers enroute?
I just tried installing some software, to let our networked UPS shut down some Linux servers, before it runs out of juice. It requires Java -- and X11!
For something supposed to run on a fucking server?? Oh, and even worse, it doesn't work. I think I'll be firing up the network sniffer, come monday, and reverse engineer their ass-tastic protocol.
MySQL performed better than Postgres, especially on select-only queries, until not too long ago. I did some profiling on a web-based app at work where MySQL outperforms Postgres, and it turns out, that only approx. 0.02% of queries are INSERTs or UPDATEs, so it seems MySQL still has an edge in some applications.
Postgres also seems to have an (unfair, IMHO), reputation for being hard to set up.
And yes, MySQL has come a long way in the last 3 years, and does support transactions now.

I've been using Desktop Cray for a while now. It took me some time to weak the settings to perfection, but now it's just running along. Check it out!
I'm no thread programmer, but I think that NPTL (The Native POSIX Thread Library for Linux) may solve your problem.

That's the IPv6 address of one of my machines.
Oh, and besides: that's what the DNS is for anyway.
And it supports IPv6. Too bad it's much more bloated than 12.2(x)T.
No, you can do IPv6 tunneling over IPv4. See http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2001/06/01/ipv6 _tutorial.html for instance.

Sorry, a reliable source at Kongsberg tells me that there's no Tux abound the Penguin missiles.

... or on the box, I just checked.

There's a nice writeup of how to extract the cramfs.

I like IOS for routers and other net gear.
One of my switches runs IOS on a PowerPC 403GA, running at either 25 or 33 MHz.
The linksys AP has a MIPS processor, which is probably running at 125 MHz.
It could run IOS without breaking a sweat.
It's much simpler than the Pringles can yagi, and to top that off, it delivers a much higher gain.
A bit more OT. Did you know that the Linksys WAP54G access point is based on Linux?. Somewhat strange, that there are no linux drivers for Broadcom 802.11g wireless NICs.

On the other hand, neither does the Gnome foot, Apples Apple nor the Windows logo, so I suppose they're in good company.
They are "just" CD-R's, with inkjet printing.

Take a look at f.scarywater.net for BitTorrent goodness.

He says so himself:
Even if he isn't, what's to stop anyone of the route between you and him, from saving a copy, or altering the numbers enroute?
But if you need numbers you can really trust, he also shows you how to build your own.
John Walker, the founder of Autodesk, has made a system like that, from which offers random bits:
HotBitsWell, it would be kind of hard to make a crop circle in a parking lot, since nothing much grows there, wouldn't it?

Saying that NSA has characterized Systrace as flawed is wrong, IMO.
