Honestly, I think the 80s platforms (C64, Nintendo, et all) had the highest ratio of original addictive games to crap. Nowadays I go through the game store and its almost all crap.
Of course they don't mention that anyone who uses Dell OpenManage(TM) to install blade servers and probably other servers is actually using Linux to setup the RAID and install Windows. Since OpenManage is actually running on a Linux kernel. Somehow I find it reassuring to know that the Windows admins that I work with use Linux all the time to setup the RAID on a blade.
Plus, when buying servers, we often will buy them as "No Operating System Microsoft Configuration" even though we end up putting RHEL on them. I'm sure that they probably count that as a Microsoft install even though lots of Linux admins simply don't need to have RedHat on their server by default. They do have the option for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux - No Factory Installed Operating System", but I think when you initially read through the options its not obvious that that's a "no OS" install. Then of course you have people who choose VMware ESX server (probably a small percentage right now).
So I'd say that Linux probably accounts for closer to 30-40%, if not even 50% of Dell's server sales.
Its the same reason why online casino owners pay the blackmailers. Its the same reason you end up paying $1.39 for a 20oz. pop when it says 2 for a $1. Its the same reason web hosting companies say they offer 1 terabyte of disk space per customer for $5/month.
Why?
Because nobody ever challenges them. And the company gets away with it.
You know, you have the right to your opinion of course, but this same thing happened when Freshmeat updated their look back in the late 90s (maybe they are due for an update). A bunch of people who can't accept change and new ideas slammed the webmaster for what they did to the site, making him shut freshmeat down for a bit to teach them the lesson "Hey, its a free service that I put a lot of work into, so stop complaining assholes".
A government representative commented that they 'hope that this video will put to rest the conspiracy theories.'
The problem is that there is not a clear view of a 747 running into the pentagon. Just a streak and a fireball. Kinda like those UFO pictures and videos.

Maybe this guy is like Larry David, you know, always ending up in weird situations, like being able to get into NASA's servers but not able to save anything. There is the possibility that he made up the story about how his screenviewer works and can't save pictures to save face. Or to prevent him from really getting nabbed by the authorities. I would think that if the U.S. government really suspected that he saw something as important as evidence that aliens exist, that we wouldn't even know this guy existed.
This guy gets the same kind of attention when someone names their baby Google.
Its hard to find stuff in the store that doesn't have sugar in it. My tendancy was to think that juice would be the way to go but almost all juices have just as much sugar as a can of coke, if not more. Even the so called "light" juices.
I've found that drinking more of the following drinks helps:
*Unsweetened tea *Water *Soy milk (actually, not that bad) *Make your own juice
I feel fortunate that I work at a place that serves unsweetened tea and water all day long. It makes it easier. But if you don't work at such a place, buy a electric kettle and don't feel embarrased. Water bottles by the 24 pack are also economical or just have a water dispenser filled by someone local. Hang in there and you can do it.
No, the graphical remote viewer works frame by frame. It's a Java application, so there's nothing to save on your hard drive, or at least if it is, only one frame at a time.
What kind of moron spends 3 years breaking into government computers and doesn't know how to do a screen capture or see the importance of saving what he's doing. Sorry folks, but from reading this interview, he seems like bullshit.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Not sure how long this has been used, but putting a skull and cross bones on something like a bottle or a barrel is still quite effective at warning people.
Hey, the point is that you're already giving it access to your network through root access on your machine so that you can generate special packets. Its not much of a step from that to sniffing your network for packets. And the big deal is that the program is sniffing or scanning your network from INSIDE your network, behind DMZ firewalls, etc. Using SELinux or virtual machines won't necessarily protect you and I wasn't refering to a local machine exploit in my original post.
1. Write a piece of software claiming to help monitor spoofed IP packets but really it does something more sinister. 2. Post a story to Slashdot with a link to the software on an MIT server and ask people to run it on their internal networks and send the data back to the author. 3. ??? 4. Profit and say to yourself, "suckers"
Maybe I'm too paranoid. But this is a good example of how social engineering can be used to get you into places you shouldn't be. I guess the source cod e is provided. How many people will really read it?
And with that goes more than 20 years of kids at school saying things like "I just hacked into the school's mainframe last night, with the password pencilsharpener, and changed your grades to all Fs".
Besides, its more like 24 years. They forgot Tron, in which the MCP uses the net or a direct connection to break into those other computers.

Its as unreasonable to build 6000 bombs as it is to build 6000,000 bombs.
That's not true, if the U.S. built 6 million nuclear bombs, the target would obviously be Jupiter.
The irony is in that Hawking wants us to leave the earth to protect humanity... You know what, nevermind. You're not worth protecting.
If these are all problems of being human, then the problem is humans. We need to do the galaxy a favor and protect the galaxy from humans.
We'd just start creating things that can wipe out the galaxy.

impaired is a negative word, let's use the term "large multi star solar systems".
I was actually just trying to be funny. I've already said that he's a moron and still believe that he is.

I don't want to get used to diet because I know it sucks.
Just drink carbonated water or something.

Actually, I've gotten used to using [esc]ZZ

stop
exit
[esc]
quit damnit
ahhhhh
(just kidding, I know how to quit from vim)
Current operating systems are like ships before compartmentalization was invented
Isn't SELinux kinda like compartmentalization of the OS?
