It's nice to see apache beating IIS on windows, but how does IIS compare to apache 2.0 running on linux? I can't find anything with a recent kernel, preferably post-2.4.10. Even an apache on windows vs apache on linux benchmark would be nice.
Hemp too. In fact, hemp can product 10 times more ethanol than corn, and has lots of other uses too (fabric mainly). I still don't understand why the government isn't looking into this (and corn) as a means to produce energy, it would be in everyone's best interest, and losing our reliance on middle east countries for oil seems like a pretty good idea now, considering all the crap going on over there lately.
Are solar panels effecient enough to work in automobiles, how about wind power? surely you can't put a nuclear reactor in one... hydrogen and oil, however, can be used in such a way, THAT's the difference.
The 10% drop has something to do with the sharp decline in music quality over the past few years? Come on, I'm getting tired of all these one-hit boy bands and 16 year-old pop stars. Give me something worth buying, and I will.

by it's author because of some legal reasons? There was a slashdot

I guess they changed their mind about that...
The tomsrtbt boot disk. IMO, is by far the best rescue disk available. In 1.44 megs of space they've managed to pack over 160 common utilities, and that's not including the kernel modules! You can grab a copy of the boot image at

This thing has saved my ass several times.
The restrictions of the GPL for embedded linux _can't_ be relaxed, everyone who's ever submitted patches to the linux kernel which were licenced under the GPL (almost all) would have to give permission , not even linus himself could make that decision. Why not just make any changes you need localized to a seperate kernel module? You could then have just the module under a proprietary license and keep the rest of linux open, and not break a single copyright law.
How hard is it going to be for someone to figure out how these things work and start making their own? If the information is passed simply by waving these cards in front of a reader... they can't contain THAT much information, what if someone gets a hold of one of these readers and starts walking by people on the street recording their speedpass numbers or whatever and learns how to duplicate these? It's only a matter of time before someone tries this, and it doesn't sound like these things have alot of protection stopping some 16 year old from walking into a store and buying shit on your account.
No, Konqueror is a frontend for kparts components, KHTML being the one which renders HTML documents. It can be completely removed or replaced with another HTML renderer without harming Konqueror.
There's a few good kernel API books here
which might be a good read for anyone wanting to learn, including one specifically for anyone wanting to get into kernel hacking.
I've run into this same problem with libpng on my system running debian unstable, I found an article discussing a fix at www.varlinux.org To summarize what needs to be done though:
I just did an apt-get upgrade a few minutes ago and it undid this, I haven't noticed any problems yet so maybe they've already fixed this issue.

Nice troll, but you need to get some facts straight:
-You only mentioned one office suite, while there are several
available... sure none have _every_ feature that MS office has, but
why are you comparing something made by volunteer's to something made by
a multi-billion dollar corporation? And last I checked staroffice developement
is moving along nicely, and koffice isn't too bad either.
-X is too complicated to install? What distribution are you using? I haven't yet
seen a distribution that doesn't make installing Xfree86 simple. I'll agree
we should start focusing on something a little more modern as a graphical backend.. perhaps the framebuffer, but Xfree86 certainly isn't slow, at least on my semi-modern machine (p3-800 192 megs ram).
-No good browser? come on have you actually USED konqueror? this browser kicks ass, anyone who says IE is faster is LYING! And those extra 'features' you talk about... their non-standard addon's microsoft, why should microsoft dictate html standards?
-Font's don't suck... their as good as windows, if not better. Just get the truetype
font server, copy your.ttf fonts to the right directory, and your set.
-Your argument about desktop's being 'patched together' probably holds true for gnome.. but not KDE, KDE has great integration with it's various components. Just look at konqueror for a perfect example... When browser files and right-click on an archive (tar, zip, etc.) I can select to have it extracted into that directory or to preview the contents. When I double click on a.c file it'll load an embedded version of kwrite and show me the source code with colour syntax hilighting and dots to follow indentation, this is just 2 examples... if you look around it doesn't take long to see more.
-as for printing... www.linuxprinting.org has a HUGE list of drivers, for cups, lprng, and lpd... and setting it up was no harder than making a few adjustments to my printcap file and downloading a filter.
Why would it need more funding to continue it's mission?

Although I agree with you in some respect, most buffer overflows ca easily be blamed just as much on laziness on the programmers behalf, strncpy, snprintf, strncat, etc. have all been a part of standard C libraries for some time now, gcc even warns against the use of some of the non-limiting variants of these. It doesn't even take that much effort to check over a program and ensure anywhere data can be read from an external source (i.e. stdin, command line, socket, etc.) that it's allocating enough buffer space to hold the maximum allowed input. Checking for format string exploits is also trival, greping through the source tree for "printf" and ensuring you use a format string rather than passing a buffer directly is trivial. That covers the simplest of exploits anyways, as for other ones such as the recent wu-ftpd bug... that was just bad coding, especially in such a widely used daemon, the code should have been completely rewritten long ago seeing as it has a long history of problems.
The name of the program michael is referring to is called getright, which can connect to several known mirrors of a file and download seperate fragments from each.

This sounds alot like what cyrix did with their M-II series of processors, I ended up buying a Compaq system without doing much research, which marketed their cpu as a "Cyrix M-II 366", which was really just a 250 MHz system which supposidly performs as well as a PII 366 at the time, which was complete bullshit.
