What about if I had the orginal CD and copied it onto my hard disk. They then accessed my machine (for whatever reason) then deleted that even though I'm withing the law. Also what about accessing machines over sea's?
Its always nice to understand where things came from. I mean my dad says, "I remember the days when we use to use paper tapes". To my kids I will say, "I remember using floppies". Wonder what my kids will say
Looking over the links can't see anything about how you stop this sort of thing. Do they just let it crash into a wall of have some sort of parachute after the rockets have burnt out
"As somone who walked for SCO (or rather Caldera how it was called at that time) I can tell you this is utter crap. There were very people actually doing Linux kernel work then (and when the German office was closed down all those left the company) and we really had better things to do then trying to retrofit UnixWare code into the linux kenrel. Especially given that the kernel internals are so different that you'd need a big glue layer to actually make it work and you can guess how that would be ripped apart in a usual lkml review:)
It might be more interesting to look for stolen Linux code in Unixware, I'd suggest with the support for a very well known Linux fileystem in the Linux compat addon product for UnixWare.."
I would think that mnay people have the same idea and as long as it isn't pateneted then people can share. I mean if you look at high end machines there are a number of things that are shared such as cross node memory. Now you don't seem the trying to sue each other do you?
My personal feeling is this is due to the development cycles. Now I'm not saying that people can produce bug free code but I can't help think that more quality control would avoid some of these. Surely some automated testing could be done on some sort of security holes
Whatever way you look at this you have to heopt he the NY council will get the right tool for the right job. If you have a system that is old,closed source but works for months on end then why should you change it?
Also if you think about the machines on workers desktops should they all be switch to Linux as its free? I personally would say no as you will soon lose more with a drop in productivity as people have to learn something new.
Its Mars Attacks all over again. They will come pretending to be friends then attack us. We must use maximum force now to stop the. I suggest flock of killer crows:)
Just doing an update now on my test box. Once again a secure OS become even more secure. Also as mentioned in other articles OpenBSD could be argued to have the most complete Linux base with version 8. I believe FreeBSD is on 7.1:). Who said BSD by dying?
This is just pur evil. For those of us on slow connections a 300K add may take a minute or so to download. Thankfully you can disable pop-ups in Mozilla (galeon etc). Settings/Allow Popups. Simple
Also if I do get to see one of these I'm going to just blacklist the host in my DNS. Yeah they might move IP but I can just keep blacklisting. I understand people have to pay for websites and advertise but this is just shoving it to far down my throat.
Least with normal Media I can ignore it or just change channel
I think text ads do work. I will admit that I will actually go and read text ads as they are normally more intresting than banner ads. For me to click through on a banner ad it has to be something special and funny. Even then I might just ignore it
Taking that text-ads fail then I have to wonder what we will see next. THe chocices I see are just bigger more intrusive ads or pay-for-content. The content I can just about take but the popups would just be to much.
I found that on text ads I use for 65535.net that click through rates are low. The only way to get a decent clickthrough is to use the word Free

So what does that make Brian Adams? WMD?

You missed out Windows 2003 :) (though not open source admitally)

So anyone know which kernel etc this ships with. Also do they maintain their own apt repository?

Remind me of a scene where Fry gets a Lucy Lui bot. Scenes goes like
:)
Fry: "I Love you"
Lucy "I love you"
Fry: "I love you"
Professor: "Oh my God she's stuck in an infinite loop and hes a blithering idiot"

I think its more secure don't you? Seven years and only one remote security hole. Windows 7 weeks?

Does anyone else think it looks like an Amstrad Emailer

Stunnel is quite cool for tunneling most types of traffic. Easy to implement and maintain

Or just get the segway to take you where you are going.
