SIXTH COUNTERCLAIM
Breach of the GNU General Public License... 76. SCO has taken source code made available by IBM under the GPL, included that code in SCO's Linux products, and distributed significant portions of those products under the GPL. By so doing, SCO accepted the terms of the GPL (pursuant to GPL 5) .....
77. The GPL prohibits SCO from asserting certain proprietary rights over, or attempting to restrict further distribution of any source code Distributed by SCO under the terms of the GPL. ....
79. As a result of SCO's breaches of the GPL, countless developers and users of Linux, including IBM, have suffered and will continue to suffer damages and other irreparable injury. IBM is ntitled to an award of damages in an amount to be determined at trial and to an injunction prohibiting SCO from its continuing and threatened breaches of the GPL.
Hmm, interestiong, you can not ask licensence money for GPL software, but you can sue for irreparable damage, even for software you dont own. isnt this exactly the thing SCO is doing?
Cant they just ask licence money for the linux kernel since the GPL licence was revoked (they did misconduct according to the gpl)
We all know good power is important. But here i have seen the first test that shows that the power supply is related to flipping random bits in the memory.
That is a mucht better test than tom did: Just put a lot of load on a PSU and see if it dies. If it dies in flames then take a picture of it and put it on the front page. (Since it did not flame like the picture it is a fake)
That is also better than the test of ars-technica: put a scope on the powerline and show the ripple. This looks horrible, but if the power stays in spec there is nothing to worry about.
hire people with decent understanding of the discipline of science - let alone engineering! Well you cannot go to a computer shop and ask for a scientificly proven PSU, and you cannot engineer one by yourself (well you can, but it is expensive). And these sites want to sell pageviews, not PSUs.
Now i suggest you make a better power comparison in the basement of your high school. So doit and post it here.
Few people relatively read the comments. Even fewer click the links in the comments. You can freely post the urls here./.ing only occurs if the editors post the in in the story
For the really paranoia: post a google cache link.
Well it looks to me like you wouldn't want to trust a 'this is good' result from this tool, but if it says it's bad it's probably right.
That is ok if you are security paranoia, but if you want it fixed you cannot send a report to the producer, bugscan says it is bad. You cannot send a report to upper management, because they canoot read the result. And it doent report a "quality" number, it reports individual "bugs".
If you are paranoia you want the sourcecode reviewed. And that is most of the times possible if you want to pay for it. (You can let it review by a 3th party). If they even refuse to have it reviewed under a NDA something is wrong anyway.
It tells how it works, and it also tells it does not have the abilty to smell at the data users provide.
It just smells at the code, looks if it uses vulnerable calls like strcpy, an reports this. But it completely puzzels me how you can use the report to report "this is good" or "this is good enough" or "this is a piece of shit".
finding buffer overflows and other possible security vulnerabilities can be an immensely hard task when you actually _do_ have access to the source code. Also, the available compilers produce quite different assembly for the same code.
This is the part they did right. They can analyze all kind of assembly, also non-x86. (It does not produce C, no they ananlyze function calls and backtrack them. The problem is that it analyzes "compiled source code", but not the user input.
Ok, i unserstand what you are saying. And lets assume the packing is there for good (memory usage ) reason.
Wouldnt be a simple workarround for the developer be to add a 1 pixel border arround the 256x256 texture that has the same color as the edge pixels? Ok i under stand that a 258x258 texture is not a nice number, but does the renderer really have a problem with this? are you bound to this magic numbers?
They try to hide text from spam filters. i.e the word "free" get you some points in the spam filter. The word freeze might look like free to you but freeze to a spamfilter.
But it is just a point in the battle. Next thing that happens is that the filter will be able to recognize the hiding techniques and filter e-mail as spam when a mail contains too much markups or something like that, it is just a matter of making the spam filter smarter.
Google is updating it's site/search algoritm. And this thing where its finds shopping items is something that is more obvious to me the last year.
Also someone found a hole in the algoritm. Sometimes position 5 to 10 are all linked to some "results on searches for xxx yyy zzz" pages that really are just sponsored links.
SCO to come out and say that the programmer in question was working without the authority or knowledge of his supervisors?
No no no, in the true spirit of FUD they will claim it proves they wrote the code, it originated from them. The fact that a worker contracted by caldera spend time on it never changed their original IP.
1. Its theorethic. The original freenet concept contained simulation to show that it should work. I am missing this here. 2. It does not fit really well in the freenet sources. In the current freenet implementation the network layer and routing layer are split. Unless you develop it yourself this will not be implemented in freenet (soon).
DNF: estimate if they are legimate by estimating their time. This does not work on a saturated network. And freenet is always (by design i think ) full. There are some asumptions here that do not work. Also there will be things in freenet that will try to hide the location/no hops it took because it leads to security problems.
Inherited Knowledge: Make nodes learn faste by assuming some kind (vague!) of trust between nodes. read: create trust by an estabished node and new (unreliable?) node. This is against the freenet paradigma and creates all kinds of security problems. This kind of thing should not be implemented in freenet where the 1st priority is security.
The only positive thing this article is suggesting is to time the data and so optimize the flow of messsages according to the internet structure. In freenet this is an implementation problem.
There were more of these kind of suggestions on the freenet tech mailing list. I unsubscribed it (too much spam, too much interesting ideas from people who had no clue)
If you write such articles please investigate other p2p solution as well! (gnet/gnunet india network and many others.)
When i read the "mozilla foundation" my first though was: I see the analogy in the asimov foundation.
After the brutal browser wars a small group of people was left defending the (science of) open standards. They were exiled to a small place at the edge of the web with minimal fundings. There they continued to build their technology. Since their resources were minimal they started to build solutions for this.
Meanwhile the big empire (with emporor gates) continued to grow although the cracks started to show. It still had some wars going on with safari. It stopped producing new content and froze it version at internet explorer 6 sp1. It was good enough for the universe like this. It prodct was big (60 Mb for explorer version 6) but it was good for the mayority.
The people at the mozilla foundation started to wonder: is there a second foundation at the other end of the web? Where is the other end of the web?

I is a shame the editors dont read the comments on their own site. But then, the previous story was posted by taco.
/. . It will be posted regulary agian.
If something gets really important you wont miss it on
dman small is 50 MB. it is a pruned knoppix.
But i am not sure ho to boot it from the pendisk. i didnt manage to boot from my pendrive. (i have a asus p4pe Mobo).
loadlin (or linload?) should be able to boot it from real-mode dos.

You would get paranoid too if everybody was against you. 8-)

Interesting there is the memory test: they show that stable power gives less memory errors with memtest.
And here is clickable tomshardware:

Howabout checking thewhitepaper?

I found this in this article:
A better thermal interface, 70.0W/mK
2**16 easier
Since this is PK crypto it is 2 ^ 8 times easier, not 2^16.

FSAA works fine on ATI but fails due to issues on Nvidia.
Should be:
FSAA does not work but could be fixed on ATI by a driver update. It can not be fixed on NV.

what century? this or previous? millinium will also not cut it.
Diablo II patch 1.10 will be the fourth title in this pack.

You will be contacted by the SCO lawyers.
on /. you could better explain it like:
There is microsoft with its windows product line, and there is linux with it various distirbutions.
the democrats are like the thirth party: BSD, small but with their own motto (free!).
By the way its has been proven: BSD is dying 8-).
Read this site or the other. Dont use them both becuase you will get confused!
