It may be some kind of old-fashioned jargon, but that's not an English word, I'm sorry. Your only source is the glossary attached to a syllabus for a class at the University of Central Arkansas. Why not just admit your mistake and move on?
Criminals? Interesting conclusion to draw. Because they were "wiretapped", they must have been committing some crime.
Actually, Italy has a long history of repressive search and seizure laws that go far beyond what would be considered okay in the US. I am curious to know if they had a warrant for any information that could have been in traffic passing through the server, or it was just some fishing expedition.
If you are trusting some upstream service to do the encryption it sorta defeats the purpose, as this example points out.
No, this example points out nothing of the sort. Aruba was purely an ISP hosting a server machine. They shut down the server and stole the SSL keys used for encryption. In no way was Austici relying on them to do anything other than respect the privacy of the box. However, this example does instruct us to not use SSL keys without a passphrase, despite the inconvenience associated with typing in the passphrase every time you restart the service.
I do admire the security focus of the BSDs as a server platform, but I wasn't really trying to diss BSD at all - just point out the ridiculousness of claiming that both BSD and Linux were equally good as a general purpose OS. BSD is best at its specialties. I admit that I get tired of playing patch the kernel with Linux, the BSDs have that one better.
My MySQL comments came from experience running a database that was constantly under heavy usage and with minimal hardware. Linux definitely was working better for us in that situation, whereas admittedly under general usage you might not notice any difference.
You're talking about the wrong kind of authority. Yes, one source might be more "authoritative" to answer a particular question, but anarchists care about the authority to impose your will on others.
It's a tricky English word ambiguity, perhaps, but it's important.
MySQL does not run fine, it runs much slower on BSD. Believe me, the difference is noticeable when you're using a system under load.
And the essence of Linus' criterion for preferring Linux over *BSD is that Linux can do more stuff -- it doesn't matter why, but it is simply true that Linux runs more software that people use and works on more architectures that people use. You might argue that that is not a good criterion, but you're talking out of your ass when you say that when judged solely by that criterion, Linux doesn't win.
As you point out now that you finally understand Linus's point, a much more valid objection to Linus' statement would be that judged solely by his criterion, Windows is better than both Linux and BSD. You have indeed found a big flaw in his claim.
I'm not Linus so I'm not going to respond to that, but I know for me I use Free software over Windows because of the flexibility of choosing my tools without a great deal of money in addition to a philosophic opposition to using proprietary software. Windows simply isn't under consideration, but Linux vs other Free systems is a legitimate debate.
Sorry, NetBSD runs on more hardware that linux does
How do you figure that? Maybe it used to be true, and it is certainly one of NetBSD's goals, but it's simply not true that NetBSD runs on more systems than Linux. NetBSD gives this impression by listing multiple "ports" for a single CPU architecture.
In fact, NetBSD supports 17 different types of CPUs, some of which are just variations of the other CPUs. It's difficult to find a complete list, but Linux supports at least 22 different system architectures according to this article, and many more of them are useful than the NetBSD ports. Not to mention the much wider variety of peripherals and interface cards that Linux supports than any of the BSDs support.
I can't think of *anything* that linux can do and BSD can't, much less "many" things.
You're living in a different reality than
the rest of us, friend. There are many, many
user applications out there that work only on
Linux, some of which will never be ported to
BSD because they are commercial products. Like
Maya, for instance, the software that is used for
most computer animation today. Even some open
source software runs so poorly on BSD that it's
not worth using -- like MySQL. The fact is that
even if these problems are mostly because
of Linux's greater popularity and not technical, Linux is much better as a general purpose OS.
Funny, maybe, but how is this insightful? Even that kind of joke is a little old and tired.
Anarchy isn't about people working alone, it's about avoiding hierarchy and state power. You can certainly come to agreements on things like symbols without a central authority to decide it for you.
actually, gtkhtml was originally a fork of the khtml codebase, just like webkit. It has since mostly withered and died, but there are a few projects using it.
I pointed out that your little history lesson was wrong. I said nothing about Microsoft being a rip off of other products. Get your story straight anyway -- what is it, everybody rips off or nobody?
Umm no, my point was that you are talking out of your ass.
Another example: IM wasn't invented by AOL or even ICQ, it's been around on Unix workstations in the form of Talk and Write for decades. More recently Internet Relay Chat was all the rage, again well before ICQ and AIM appeared on the scene.
All that we can learn from reading your points is that in the last 15-20 years, some propriety products have been copied by open source products, but mostly it's a feedback loop. Many of the ideas that you listed were first used in free and non-proprietary systems. I'm certainly not denying that the commercial versions added new aspects or polish, just that they weren't the originators any more than the open source variants are.
Mozilla for example is based on ideas, technology and a codebase developed by Netscape......which like IE and almost every browser released in the 1990s, is based on a product called Mosaic which was based on work done at the University of Illinois in something pretty close to an open source process, if not Free by the FSF's definition.
In that case, a better comparison would be to what they euphemistically call modular homes now. The article is talking about how much better quality houses are than software, but houses are built to order and the shareware software he's talking about is built as a commodity. You really can't compare the manufacturing methods.
yeah, actually I usually do that myself since I prefer a DB class that provides a further layer of abstraction, loading a config file with my db name, password, etc. I usually use only one DB (in MySQL terms) per application.
Mine has methods like:
query (results as an assoc. array)
exec_query (no results)
query_retrieve_keyed_list (results as an array keyed on the first field)
check_predicate (returns true or false, for SQL statements like "col 1 > col 2 WHERE id=2")
and has the additional feature of re-using a single MySQL connection.
but, I don't avoid MySQL specific stuff, so it's not really a database abstraction class as much as a PHP crappy database interface functions abstraction layer:)
He forgot to add the price that they paid for this imaginary house: $2,000 with all of the appliances included. You can't complain about commmodity software development not being up to the standards of house building. You need to go to 5 years of school + an internship and then be licensed to build a house, you're paid hundreds of dollars an hour, and you generally are expected to go over budget and over schedule.
studio spokeswoman Antonia Coffman told E! Online Wednesday: 'We always wanted the show to end first but it just keeps going. Now they've worked out a team to simultaneously do [both the film and show].'""
Looks to me like (drumroll please) they were waiting to do a film until the show ended. I guess they changed their minds though.

there are several classes, including the PEAR DB class, that provide a DB abstraction layer.
Actually I assume that if we're talking about Ralph Ellison, the book in question would be "Invisible Man," not "The Invisible Man." An important distinction since "The Invisible Man" is a completely different book written by H.G. Wells.
True. I have tried to run a Debian/PowerPC server at one point, but I kept running into endianness bugs. For a while I was reporting each one upstream, but it got to the point where it was no longer worth it and I had to switch.
the analogy doesn't fit. Bollywood movies are churned out by the bucketful, but they are not exactly high-art, nor are they meant to be. It does make sense to exclude them from the gp's list.
The only thing that is missing from ics file is that it does not tell me where I should go back and fetch the updates for new events. That's exactly what RSS is good at. The key is RSS Enclosure. If you are already uploading ics files, then all you need to do is create a log entry with the ics file in enclosure. It would all work out with minimal of change and training. People who are using non-aggregating calendar/scheduling programs can still use ics files directly. This scheme is compatible in both the worlds: aggregating and non-aggregating. Yeah, just like podcasting. And it works out of the box.
This person didn't do their research that well. It is possible to subscribe to an ical server, much like you can subscribe to an rss feed. You will get only the new event listings.
