pkg-get is hack only needed for Solaris 10 - in OpenSolaris IPS is used which is supported by Sun. If you want supported apache/php/mysql Sun have their SAMP product (formerly known as CoolStack) and Solaris ships with gcc these days.
It's better these days - I have a friend who roams onto GPRS occasionally and gets 10-15 kB/s. Not sure about the latency. And yes, I have a FreeRunner, but GPRS setup isn't automated yet (you have to turn off the phone/sms daemon) so I haven't tested it yet.
Wrong. EnterpriseDB maintains a proprietary fork that includes Oracle compatibility which they charge money for, and also employs quite a few core Postgres developers. People are moving away from MySQL due to its flagrant ignorance of SQL and how horrible it is it administer, both of which are possibly due to the lack of community caused by the "We own (and will make money from) your code" copyright assignments MySQL requires. The license is not the be-all and end-all of a project, community management is also important, ask ooo-build about OpenOffice.org.
Power Computing and UMAX moved in on the high end and cannibalised Apple's most lucrative sales of Power Macs (and cannibalised is the right word; Apple did all the engineering for PCC, while the Austin firm just built boxes). Apple does much less engineering these days - they just put Intel chipsets into pretty boxes.
I have the same pattern http://trs80.ucc.asn.au/W5A00031.JPGhttp://trs80.ucc.asn.au/W5A00033.JPG from when I forgot to plug a molex into my 6600GT, so it was sucking all its power directly via the motherboard. Looking at your connector, it's a 20pin connector too, so I'd say you and I simply hit the physical current limit of the 20pin ATX connector. Server motherboards have been using 24pin connectors for years now, the S2460 must predate them or it's a design flaw that it didn't use one. Either way, these days server mobos (including Tyan's) generally come with an 8pin socket as well as a 24pin ATX so I doubt you'll see the same problem again.
FWIW I got a hardware friend to solder a new plug onto my PSU and socket onto the motherboard, and it worked fine after that, and I always remembered to check my video card had its direct power supply plugged in. What sort of power load did your motherboard have? Lots of PCI cards, a power-hungy AGP card?
After being bought by Yahoo, Zimbra's license got changed to being the Yahoo Public License, which is a BSD-alike. Why they haven't publicised this more I don't know, but it is true FLOSS now.
After being bought by Yahoo, Zimbra got relicensed to the Yahoo Public License, a BSD-alike. This doesn't fix the problem that Zimbra requires its own versions of OpenLDAP, Postfix, ClamAV, Java instead of integrating with your existing setup. It also doesn't support CalDAV, unlike what was claimed elsewhere in the thread.
The difference between Vista and Linux is that Microsoft controls the signing key for Vista, whereas anyone could create their own signing key for the Linux installation running on their own machines. GPLv3 prevents the Vista situation (if Vista was GPLv3 Microsoft would have to give away their signing key), but not the Linux one.
Actually, that suggests a (highly theoretical) attack - replacing the public key that Vista uses to authenticate kernel mode drivers. Of course that would require a fair bit of reverse engineering to replace it, and whatever checksums or other signatures it has, but I don't see why it's not possible.
The kernel mode signed driver restriction has already been broken by Blue Pill. Full details are in the black hat presentation, but the basic gist is you force a driver (eg null.sys) to be swapped out to disk, overwrite a function in the copy in swap with your own code, then call that function. And now you're executing unsigned code in kernel space.
The prices for GPFS for AIX 5L, GPFS for Linux on POWER, and GPFS for Linux on Multiplatform are based on the number of processors active on the server where GPFS is installed.
I'm talking about the Batman Begins and Serenity H.264 720p trailers from apple's website, played with mplayer (the OSS one, not any of the windows media player variants). I haven't actually looked at any of the MS WMVHD clips.
They are very crisp, to the extent I think I'm seeing film grain on the Serenity trailer or something.
That's odd, I can play it fullscreen (on a 1280x768 display) at full speed with about 70-80% CPU usage, using mplayer for win32 on a p-m 1.7ghz. Quicktime's win32 interface must suck or something.
FRANK'S COMPULSIVE GUIDE TO POSTAL ADDRESSES is probably the best resource you're going to find on the topic - it covers every continent and most countries, with details on postcodes, street addresses and more. Very geeky, but also highly useful.
The topic search reveals this is the first quickies in over 2 years. I wouldn't hope too much, Zonker seems to just do game news (which is ideally suited to quickies).

So boycott Gillette by growing a moustache for Movember which raises money to fight prostate cancer.
5 of the 6 filters under test by the government include HTTPS filtering, by MITMing the SSL connection.
Yeah, SNI is where it's at.
RFC 2817 is pretty badly broken - basically you can MITM and drop the Upgrade: header, and various other problems. The real solution for random sites that just want to protect passwords is RFC 5054 SRP-TLS, however it's not well supported at the moment, and Mozilla don't seem to be interested in pushing it, preferring to make excuses about why they're sticking with 10-year old technology.

I submitted it as http://packages.debian.org/iceweasel without a / at the end, which does work, I don't know why it got changed.

They still have them - Fedora 8 is Werewolf, and Fedora 9 is Sulphur.

Huh, so it does. I must have missed that when I had a look at it, but I guess the lack of OSI certification should have clued me in.

mplayer (even on win32) plays the HD trailers fine already, no need to download Quicktime.
