Please, that is a stupid counterexample. People jump out of airplanes for a thrill - to attempt something that SHOULD kill you and to walk away unharmed. They have sex for quite different reasons.
In the spirit of Christmas, I will refrain from making uncharitable remarks about your appalling lack of knowledge about high quality free software. Perhaps, you could make learning more about this one of your New Year's resolutions; one that you will actually keep?
By learning to use Linux or some other OpenSource *nix, they'll be acquiring skills in Unix based operating systems, which IS a "de facto" standard in the business world. It's just not prevalent on the desktop but that's isn't the entire software universe.
I've seen Ms. Sirtis partially nude in at least one forgettable flick. Never thought much about her bod.
While I've always loved Star Trek, the old cast were more appealing than those on the Next Generation. If fact, I even prefer the cast of Voyager to that of TNG, except for Picard, Wesley and Worf.
To share it with a foreign government body? Especially since Indian organizations have made big noises about using Linux and locally produced software instead of proprietary stuff from overseas. I think M$ was a bit worried. I don't think Venezeula, Peru or even Spain switching to opensource is a big deal in their books but India is a massive economy with a large number of world-class programmers.
Nice try, trollboy. Au contraire, it's catching up although it still a little ways off, yet. The truth is that M$ is doing what it can to denigrate Linux as well as impede its progress. That, more than anything tells me that Linux matters.
And there, in a nutshell, is the problem. What is there to prevent this from happening again? By which I mean that the recently laid fiber will be tagged as unusable by tomorrow's networks. If that happens, there's more big money gone, literally, to dirt.
Do you really have to do all that to use XFS on Redhat? For Mandrake, it's an option that you can choose during the initial setup. My entire filesystem is 100% XFS.
Actually, several companies have invoked the DMCA to suppress criticism of themselves or their products.
That includes a US IT firm that pressured a Canadian ISP to remove a posting they considered
offensive, invoking the DMCA.
I'm ashamed to say that the Canucks were easily cowed.
Wonder what the heck took so long? Anyway, I did an upgrade install from Sol8 10/01 to Sol9 beta. Went pretty well except I'm once again seeing an Admintool bug where is crashes when I try to load up the Software module. I'd had this happen before on one of the earlier releases of Sol8 but I don't remember how I resolved it. I've been using Philip Brown's pkgadm from bolthole.com as a workaround.
Because Cisco can't fucking get it right, especially where multiple VLANs are concerned. Search cisco.com for "spanning tree caveats"; filter the results by IOS release versions and check the number of open or unresolved caveats for which there is no workaround. It shouldn't take you more than a week to go through them all.
To me, it's not the point that Microsoft didn't invent the technologies a great many of their best known products. What gets me is that they are the ones crying about the "freedom to innovate" and how legislation and other restrictions hampers their efforts. Innovation comes from bright,free-thinking minds.
Not since the original Star Trek have I so enjoyed a sci-fi series. It really had everything - imaginative writing ( kudos to Harlan Ellison for his consultations), great acting, humor and character development. Sorry gang, but most of the other shows mentioned on this page simply don't rate.
Does anyone here use OpenMail. How does is stack up against Exchange? I'd downloaded an evaluation for Linux some time back but had a hard drive failure and, by the time I was ready to give it a testdrive, HP had discontinued it.

There are kernel patches for ACLs for Linux filesystems, http://acl.bestbits.at/ and other Unixes also have it built-in. Solaris has had this for years.
Hey, dork! We've never seen anyone use a redirect link to the goatse.cx site before. Wow, you must be, like, you know, like, rilly brite.
Gosh, me wants be smirt lyke ewe.
So, they could simply require a problem report including output from the supplied utility. Or, in my own experience with a failed Quantum drive, I was required to return it to the store for diagnostics before being offered a replacement.
I don't think that the drive manufacturers deal directly with end users. And, if a business customer returns a drive that isn't truly defective they would probably either charge them or ship the same drive back
Okay, this isn't about the PIX but,
here's a review about a Linux-based router
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5846
The paper edition of that issue, August 2002,its 100th issue also discusses how to build a Linux router using PC parts and the LRP distribution.
While it gives numbers for the Linux configurations, it doesn't provide a head to head networking comparison with the Cisco 2620.
On another note, I've been told that Cisco IOS could be headed for deep trouble if they don't change their development strategy - they mostly use microcode - VERY difficult to write and troubleshoot.
That may be why their products are so expensive;)

I'll take that bet.What's your wager?

Don't kid yourself, this is news for certain

For the big cities and towns, is there any reason not to pull fiber through the sewer system?

I can't say how much development is being done on this as my German is very basic but it doesn't seem to be a dead project.

So, how would you save the compiled code? And, can you optimize it ?

According to google, reverberated also qualifies for longest word typed solely with the left hand.
Lollipop for the right
That's quite possibly the very first time I've seen a Slashdot post refer to IA32 as "straightforward".
