Actually the DPI is probably the last thing that supports IPv6, if they got it to that level, there whole network already supports IPv6, they might as well use it.
I ran virtual RMS (vrms) on my Ubuntu it said I have installed:
Non-free packages installed on ubuntu
human-icon-theme Human Icon theme tangerine-icon-theme Tangerine Icon theme
2 non-free packages, 0.1% of 1993 installed packages.
I have a free Java and Flash-plugin (libswfedc). And I can view YouTube just as well as with the Adobe Flash-plugin (which is ok, most of the time).
As you can see from above.
I did however spend my money at a computer-store that actually selected the hardware they sell based on the free-driver support in Ubuntu.
So that I actually could uninstall all the binary-blob-driver-support-stuff.
As you can see the only non-free (by the RMS-standard which came with Ubuntu) is the themes in Ubuntu it self. This is the same issue we've had with Firefox of Mozilla. Big names want to protect their names. I guess I can kinda understand. I guess will have to trust them with this for now.
Just like there are, I hope, poeple in the US trying to make the US more of a democracy, with better freedoms, etc. There are people in the Free/Open Source Software community working on making sure it stays free and will be more free in the future. Some are even willing to sacrifice usability in the shortterm if it gains (more) freedom in the longterm.
As I understand it, it's really hard for the FSF getting hardware for there office desktops-machines. They want it to be free and it seems they are getting better results each time (they have machines with linuxbios/coreboot for example).
This is something which seems to be better understood in Europe instead of the US. In the US OSS-companies are trying to sell OSS in a proriatary/shrinkwrapped way, just like the mentioned company.
What you should be doing is sell development services, so someone needs something build, build what they need and atleast when you base it off an existing OSS project you will need to use a OSS-license for it. It could also be requested by the client that it have a OSS-license, so he/she can take the source code somewhere else when the two parties part.
Or build webbases applications and also sell hosting or something.
That's not a Firefox donation, it's a mozilla-browser-searching-via-google. If I understand it correctly, even MS gives Mozilla money for the use of the mozilla-browser-search-box.
The problem is that the security depends entirely on the server deciding not to serve the content over plain unencrypted HTTP . The client has no control. If the server is misconfigured, or there is an MITM, the client will go through with an unencrypted HTTP connection.
You do realize it will take months to map a LAN with IPv6 through nmap ? Because the IPv6-address space for the LAN is bigger then the whole IPv4-internet.
"It will stop spam for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it" That's why it would have been better to keep it at a static place so it would have been easier to filter.:-/
If you wanna destroy something, I suggest cat/dev/zero >/dev/hda it's faster and more efficient (shorter to type too, which can be usefull on those kind of 'keyboards')
Slashdot Mirror
"there's no reason why you can't stick function pointers in an ordinary c struct" Actually, I think the Linux-kernel does this.
"[Nicole] Kidman was trying to shake zombies off the bonnet of her Jaguar when the car spun off the road."
The first time I read this, I thought it said botnet and thought: I didn't know there were botnets with Mac OS X (Jaguar).
It probably just says something is in europe, instead of country in europe. The free database only has country-information.
Setup a 6to4 on localhost and don't advertise it, that should work, I would think.
Worth buying doesn't include your DSL-router I presume ?

Youtube does not require flash it works with libswfdec and I think gnash too.

The problem with blobs is, if you go of the beaten path things break. If it's open source, you don't have to wait for that company far away to fix it.

Well, there is a kfreebsd-port for Debian, but it's not gonna be in the upcoming release of Debian (Lenny) so it seems.

I think by that time people will figure out, IE is old and stupid.
What's missing in the article is that there are only a few windows-based systems in the top500 and there numbers have been declining over the years.
The answer to that question seems to be yes.
Why do you care so much ? From the Apache manual: "At this time no web browsers support RFC 2817."
For example Mozilla/FireFox has it on there brainstorm page:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Feature_Brainstorming:Security
But there are problems:
The problem is that the security depends entirely on the server deciding
not to serve the content over plain unencrypted HTTP . The client has no
control. If the server is misconfigured, or there is an MITM, the client
will go through with an unencrypted HTTP connection.
I guess the same holds true for StartTLS in SMTP.

Same here, but maybe they just send spam to US-destinations or something, cause I'm in the EU.

I've seen people try and fail miserable at it. For example, try installing some hardware drivers which don't understand there is no GUI.
Why not just unplug the power ?
Fans are the ones that bother me, HD's are usually just fine (I buy mid-range WD's)
But it's just not one thing, is it ? it's many parts of one thing. Not that it's very likely anyway.
Not impressed, I already had a 'free' 400 Euro HP-laptop with a two year plan, why would I want a netbook ?
