...what the big deal is. This one's been coming down the road for a long time. I KNOW it's a shame that it's happening. It could be construed as an invasion of privacy, to put it mildly. But for goodness sakes. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen! Use a modem. Get local DSL. You actually can, if you SEARCH for it. Yea, whatever.
Didn't we talk about this before?

It will be considered invasive, creeping Socialism (or Communism) by RW fringe groups and be shouted down at every corner. Like Flouride in water was during the middle of the last century.
I agree with you. Maybe if it had been broken down by distro I would have been able to take it somewhat seriously.If his reply had been posted on/. it would have been marked as flamebait.
In the past, many people have predicted that this thing(M$) or that thing(what hardware it runs on) might stop Linux. I think this might be it.
When ideals and/or ego enter the fray you have to be careful. This could alienate the very people that are needed at this time and cause Linux to loose steam. Yes, it's his toy, yes he can take his ball and go home. But hopefully this won't cause a major split similar to what happend to Unix in the 60's/70's.
I don't think he made it up. I think he was suckered by a forged email. JonKatz is certanly smart enough to fake something better than the Kabul email.
Added for relevance: I like the spoof of spoof of... NaNTM. It's great to see an industry that can satrize itself. For money. Anyone that thinks they did this without an eye for the boxoffice profits is kidding themselves. They know that there's a community out there that will go to this kind of movie just to agree with the spoof. And pay the ticket price anyway.
I forget who, but some cable channel tried televising this sort of thing. Turned out to be very boring. All they did was setup a couple of cameras to show the contestants. They should have tapped into the video out. THEN it COULD have been interesting.
...but it strikes me as "Not that useful". Most of my users get confused with standard GUI look and feel. I'd hate to think what this would do to their poor little minds.

Try this.

What's this then?
NOT!
I was suprised too.

...has an article on this very subject. The listed article "How to hack from a RAM disk" is what you're looking for.
You are correct. That is what I'm refering to. Thanks for the correction.
...that some joker will have a piece of it up for auction on e-bay before the derbis has cooled.

Personally, I hope I'm wrong.
I would say an encrypted wireless network, but being at an educational institution the encryption setting would be cracked/shared rather quickly.
Where will we get all our new toys from?
I don't THINK so.
...I actually find IIS easier to work with. I don't like this fact at all. I'm hoping Apache 2.0 does knock IIS's sock.c off.
ZDNet was owned by M$ anyway. That would give them some bias.
I know, I know, why not a human. I start getting all ethical when I think of that.
Now could you make a black-hole for power generation purposes?
Thanks!

It's Just Hollywood.
yea, right.
Obligitory /. bashing of M$.
But they won't think of that, will they.
Yea, right.

Well, that explains it. I guess I can vouch for register.com spamming. I registered with them and suddenly got triple the spam I'm use to.
Not really if you consider that they are exploiting the dead, legally, in both instances.
Flamebait.
They should get Bruce Lee to star in the film version.
