Last year, those totals were 812 for Windows and 2,312 for Unix/Linux.
There's a simple reason for the difference between general perception (at least on Slashdot) and the raw statistics above. If a vulnerability is found in openssh, it counts as a flaw for Linux, for BSD, and for any Unix flavours that ship openssh by default. If a vulnerability is found in the ssh client that ships with Windows... oh wait.
Which is sad really, considering your team is currently ranked 5th in the world by FIFA. Instead you go mad over "world series" of games that noone else plays.
The problem is with the huge vertical whitespace in between each line of the sans-serif font in question.
IMHO, the problem is the unreadably tiny size of the font. Looking through the new stylesheets, the font seems to be specified as 82%/150% ie: 82% of the font height that the user has carefully chosen to be easily readable (I know most users don't change the browsers defaults, but this is slashdot, and "most users" don't hang out here), with 150% of the line spacing that the font designer carefully chose to look good with that font.
And now the police did a large-scale raid, not against drug smugglers, traffickers or other organized crime which people actually care about, but against file-sharers.
Apparently you haven't watched the compulsary intro to any MPAA released DVD recently, or you'd know that PIRACY FUNDS TERRORISM!!!
Does your bank specify what brand of shoes you must wear to walk into its branches? Would you consider that a little irrelevant when choosing your bank?
Register.com vs Verio was ruled on the basis of the Lanham Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act 1986, trespass and contract law. The Richard Dinon case (Richard Dinon was the "victim", not the perpetrator) involved Florida State law AFAIK. So neither of those cases involved the SCA which was ruled non-applicable in this case.
The £400 is a tad overinflated, don't you think? Windows Terminal Server Client licenses can be bought in packs of 20 for around £50 per seat, and a monitor, mouse and keyboard can be picked up for around £100, less if you only need 14 or 15 inch ones.
I'd love to move our office to thin clients however I really can't justify the cost. For £200 I can get a 2.4Ghz Celeron with 512MB of RAM, XP Pro, a keyboard, mouse and 17" flat panel monitor.
Right, so all the pedophiles need to do is set up a non-profit website for ensnaring children. The law is obviously aimed directly at MySpace and maybe one or two other startup companies that have not donated to the bill sponsers' campaigns, and not at the actual problem at hand. No doubt the description is carefully written not to include MSN and other established companies.
Coming up next, the "Deleting Rapists Act of 2007" specifying a 7pm curfew for all females and stating that they must cover their heads and faces with scarves in public and wear non-provocative robes that disguise the shape of their body.
Please post the name of your employer so you can be a test case for the GPL. Preventing your users from exercising their rights is a clear violation of section 6 of the GPL. Just because GPLv3 clarifies the terms in this situation, it does not mean that GPLv2 does not cover it.
Those stats seem to indicate that the A310 is indeed the most dangerous mid-large sized jet airliner to fly in. However the A320, the first commercial airliner to be completely digital fly-by-wire, is second only to the Boeing 777 (also digital fly-by-wire) for safety.
Airbus adds in the bonus of the aircraft not understanding what the crew is trying to do (A300 crash in Nagoya was it?)
There's a good report on that crash here.
The A300-600 was pre fly-by-wire, and the crash was the result of a pilot accidentally switching the autopilot into go-around mode on approach then trying to fight the autopilot (without turning it off!) and land the plane rather than doing the sensible thing that all pilots are trained to do when a landing is not going smoothly and go around for another try.
That blog references two other names (Sam (female) and Kyle) being suspended for what they posted on their blogs, apparently references to drinking and smoking pot at parties over the weekend.
Vodafone and O2 use both 900MHz and 1800MHz (and 2100MHz for UMTS). Generally 900MHz was used for the older installations in Europe and Asia, but newer operators and newer cells from the established operators tend to use 1800MHz.
It is similar to the argument people make saying "corporations that make genetically modified food are causing people in Africa to starve", in countries that forbid the import of genetically modified food.
Ever heard of terminator seeds? Seen any of the research about how they can spread to contaminate non-patented crops? Corporations that make GM food are causing people in Africa to starve whether countries allow the import of their crops or not.
China is old news. A Google trends search for "Web 2.0" (click on Regions) suggests that a lot is going on in Vietnam at the moment, which makes sense if you really want to save money by outsourcing, as both India and China are pricing themselves out of the market once offshore management overheads are taken into account.
My experience with Lotus Notes, which admittedly was with version 3.5 or something so things have probably moved on, is that it is good at what it is good at (a document centric database with versioning, access control and other collaborative features), but that when a company decides to go with Lotus Notes, they go with it for everything (maybe the decision makers feel they have to justify the price-tag).
Email is something that it was really bad at back then, but probably 80% of our company used it purely as an email client. I know that version 4 improved the email side by adding standards support alongside the ccMail like proprietary mail system, but it still seems to have its quirks based on my correspondance with others who use it in their companies.
when the server says the MIME type is text/plain and the file content is obviously something else.
How is it ever obviously something else? Are you suggesting that speakers of languages other than US English should be forced by their browser to download text and view it externally?
3) Anti-lock brakes. I won't get into this because people here do not agree that increased friction between the road and tires with centrifugal force increases the likelihood of a rollover and fatal accident.
I've seen a study that linked an increase in rollover accidents with the introduction in ABS. When it got into the details, they didn't seem to have controlled for anything - not even the increase in popularity of top-heavy SUVs with soft suspension. Correlation does not imply causation and all that.
Slashdot Mirror
Thats basically the same logic I use every Friday morning - "It's the weekend tomorrow, so it hardly seems with the effort to go to work today."

The judge's ruling only applies to the Stored Communications Act.

You misremember. There is only one driverless subway line in Japan, and it is not the Hibiya line where the crash happened in 2000.
There's a good report on that crash here. The A300-600 was pre fly-by-wire, and the crash was the result of a pilot accidentally switching the autopilot into go-around mode on approach then trying to fight the autopilot (without turning it off!) and land the plane rather than doing the sensible thing that all pilots are trained to do when a landing is not going smoothly and go around for another try.

About 80% of terminator seeds fail to reproduce. The other 20% pass on the trait to their children. Got it now?
