I'm living in Norway. This news makes Jon as much national hero as Kevin Mitnic (is that with k or c?), in my oppinion. Since Jon were only 15 when he did this crime I really hope for his sake that he doesn't end up in a crazy court systems and get sentences like serial killers (ie. G. Bush & C. Powell, tho they seems imune to such things). I hope that one day Hollywood would realize that nobody would watch their films if it wasn't for all the lobbying of journalists and buying small countries rights for everything -- Starting to become an old man I realize that such hopes belong in a hollywood movie or in a elementary school song. This might not make any sense to you but then again you are very /:)
As far as I know, all these company are supposed to sell computers without OS'es, It's just that they have to pay Microsoft for some pager applet which Microsoft refer to as an OS. And very soon they have to pay for a pager applet that the customer will have to pay rent for also. I'll never buy anything from these companies anymore. I'll stick to the cheapest parts, where I can buy three for the price of one Microsoft infected one. Why should you buy dell or anything else that is so insanely expensive, If you are going to run linux anyways it's far better to have a lot of computers configured as a cluster, which this pager applet can't do anyways. Linux doesn't have the same driver problems that Microsoft system have. ie. You can actually get a driver for both the pcmcia slot and the network card attached to it from one version of the system. I'm quite sure that my messed up hardware which want even start booting from a MS-Cd is far better of running a serious OS.
My best regards to Dell. They are just doing what they are told. Which I was told at school was something companies should avoid to survive.
Who cares who found this continent first, the ones occupying it will allways be the ones that writes the history about it. Calling vikings berzerkers is like calling your housekeeper a prostitute when compared to what the frenchmen and the englishmen have done to modern history. If somebody else was there first (like before the vikings, 900-1100 years before some guy formely known as Jesus) you should be happy that it was asians, atleast they have a genuine knowledge of mathematics, the only true science.
What really happened is hardly interesting, if we were not told history in schools, then my oppinion is that we would be more willing to learn about others(ie. less prejustice).
Ok, it's friday and I'm halfway down my first sixpack, but I think this is approximatly what i think:)
Have you guys ever tried to read a book on a PDA. Belive me it's a lot better do have it on a PDA than a hardcopy. You don't have to change position in bed three times for every page and you can have 20 books with you everywhere. I've been reading more books on my Palm on the airplane, tram, train and busses than I've read books entirely before I got a Palm:)
Trolls are norwegian, not spanish. They sell like crazy and they are not copyrighted. It's kinda funny to watch guys bashing each other over the same quality. In teoretical-physics you should both disappear.
The only thing you need to calibrate these colors (using software that is), is the image you would use to calibrate gamma and such in various games, you can find some of these in the Mesa-project (www.mesa3d.org). Personally I've no use in calibrating my colors, but designers that work in teams should be calibrated very closely to some standard so that not all the clients will have to adjust their monitor for just this app/game/website or whatever they make. If your monitor doesn't have an adjustment for each color, you can tell the X-server to use a offset for each channel. This can be a little bit tricky especially if you are using a display manager. But if you are using startx, just make sure that startx (which is a shellscript) calls X with the required parameters.
Do this to find what you are looking for
$ X --help
I'm really not amazed by having to tell our customers that "er.. sorry we had to take your website down for a 3 hours defragmenting" or,
"sorry we had to rip out the harddrive from your box because the account that made that file does not exist anymore. And therefore not even the administrator could reach it".
Sorry I don't share your enthusiasm, but I kinda like the permission system on NTFS, even tho it's allready over the hill. The system V permission-model works fine for me and if I need more I'll just jump to LDAP.
Strange thing that categorize it like that, don't you ever buy anything?
Actually, 2 of 3 things I've bought off the net during the previous 2 months have been from shops that have been linked from Slashdot. Most of the people I know that are intrested in Slashdot have more money than those who are not.
Kinda strange that older applications coexists peacefully with nothing else at 100% CPU-load where it seems to be no user input. But then again what can you expect when this application is made by M$.
I don't think there is any purpose of having logs lying around for more than 2-4 weeks. You should log everything, do not look at the logs except if you suspect or know there is something wrong. I don't know for ISPs since I'm administering the Unix domain of a hosting company. Since we are usually the victim of an attack I know that I'd report to an ISP whitin a couple of days of the attack. If I find that the security of a server/subnet have been compromised for a longer while than 3 days, we usually resoft everything in that area and restore the latest safe backup of the content, the system and binary that are executed with this content are usually replaced with a later version. I seldom find any use in reporting such an incident to an ISP based on the logs that are kept, because they can be pretty different from what happened (as in tangeled with). I know of a safer method for logging even tho I don't use it. Using a serial port for logging for instance, not beeing able to mess up the log from the server that actually generates the log is pretty secure.

Whoever he means if it's Santa or his wife that bothers him about nameservices, I for one think this is a great idea. I perfectly know how the dns protocol a couple of versions of bind and libresolve work. Still I think it would be cool to have an additional system to play with. I guess if you talked tcp/ip for a novell guy 5 years ago you would get the same response you are giving this guy. The idea he gives on how to distribute this system might not be perfect, but I guess the first Idea for dns was pretty much the same.

This might not make any sense to you but then again you are very /
Don't use https or sftp for big files, it's very resource demanding, unless you have a hardware accelerator.
Why not implement both http and ftp, it's not much effort, just assign the same document root to the (virtual) hosts on both ftp and http.
I don't think there is any big security issues, when just talking about downloading anyways.
Just the numbers:
:)
US Pop: 250.000.000
Europe Pop: 790.000.000
The numbers can be converted for the slightly less US readers by this regex 's/./,/g'
It want be long until europe doubles the US numbers.

The agfa website is very much a rip-off of one of the helix-gnome themes if I'm not mistaking. Seems like you could sue them for stealing gpl'ed art :)
Uh, Nokia is from Finland as in Linux.
Wouldn't that be more like.. 'put your money where your keyboard is'

Is the platform independence and the 'run once run away'-strategy simply just a classical MS-promise© ? I can ensure you that none of the .NET products my company have aquired, works on any mac, linux, sun or irix os's I've heard about.
Actually I must say that when Steve Balmer informed us that Microsoft was betting it all on one horse (Win2k), I was quite relived. The only side-effect is that this horse seems to be a little bit more than a whole familiy, just to make the most expensive of them seem like it actually worth it. Consider this: We've got WinMillenium, Win2k professional, Win2k Server, Win2k Enterprise Server and Win2k advanced server. What kind of system administrator is going to buy anything between the advanced server and Win Millenium. When given the fact that the advanced server is the only one that is server enough to run a SQL-server (add atleast $600) and Ofcourse you should be a good system-dude and run the SQL-server on a different host than the one you run the webserver on, so that you can spend even more money on another advanced server license and ofcourse ms don't even have to mention that this is a performance issue, the just call it best practice.
I'd stick to a java enegine that runs on a free OS and is made by a company that send me a mail when they have found a bug with it. Runs on any server even if it's not advanced. Why pay more than 60$ for the licence when the product is the same even if it's distributed? Why not choose a language that have been developed and tested since 1983, and we pretty much know it works.
Kinda sounds like a dream, a pretty inexpensive dream, you might even be able to buy your wife a car for the money you can spare.
Just spare a thought to the consistency of Visual basic, if then else if endif, but for god sake not elseif. This is really fun to debug, I can promise you.

Wasn't that the previous decade?
Thats the only reason he is missing (my guess)
Btw. Why do they refer to all of these people as tech-dudes? Most of them hardly knows how to utilize electricity in their own home.
Isn't this what Jabber does allready, mixing AIM and ICQ, and taking it all one dimention futher?

Why don't we just run ReiserFS or ext2fs on them instead, it works so much better, and it's possible to repair a damaged one.

Seems like CISCO or somebody is gonna be extremely rich one of these days. :)
Unless, ofcourse, if Sony choose to use Linux as their firewalls
Anyways who can trust these marketing people longer than you can throw them?
Splendid! Now everybody go and replace your rm with this :)
