As some who works for an ISP I can tell you that those custmer who PC have been taken over will call when there speed drops to nothing trust me.
I think it will work for a little while but spamers will will rebond by load balance the links over multi servers with smaller batch's of spam. Send out 1000 with this address and 1000 with that instead of 100,000 with just 1 address. Load balance and make it harder for the DoS to kill that Cable Modem / DSL connection. That will require alot more systems to work thought. This would require more and more work for lower and lower return but that is in the end the way to stop spam.
RTA. It refered to the fact that AOL is now using Bysan like filter now. So number one source of clueless users now has good filter. ISP more and more are adding filter to there email even clueless one are hiring people to handle it for them.
RTA. If I receive an email from some who is on the blacklist the bam I start trying to pull the spamer website. If I get an email and they are not on the blacklist it goes to/dev/null or trash or were every you tell spam to go.
DoS is illeage. Part of the reason it isn't illeagle is the email they sent you asking you to vist there site. In a sense they are asking you to DoS there site buy sending out large numbers of emails.
Yes but those custmer will call there ISP saying why are things so slow. We will see it and find out that there machine is infected and kiss one more proxy sever goodbye. Also after people have been hit by virus most get better about dealing with it esp. if there service gets cut off.
Until Recently Webtv was displayed as IE 1.0 and I believe the user would have to download the upgrade to change that. So most IE 1.0 User are probly webtv custmer.
All together, these three small code fragments comprised no more than 200 lines (of code)," wrote Altmaier. "It appears that most or all of the System V fragments we found had previously been placed in the public domain, meaning it is very doubtful that the SCO Group has any proprietary claim to these code fragments," he added.
So from what I read the only questions comes is the word most?
I have seen lots of TOC numbers for Both and not one has ever come close to messuring the real costs I have seen for both. Linux has high upfront training and tech support well user get use to it offset some by lower cost hardware and license cost. Long term cost are lower as once people get use to it tech calls are lower due to linux stablty and remote manitance abilty. Windows on the other hand has lower training and upfront Tech Support cost offset by high license cost and hardware cost. But has longterm cost such having regular calls for windows issues that popup over time when windows just doesn't work the same for those who known how to do there job though rope. Don't forgot misc cost like cleaning 200 Desktops racking up major overtime when something like msblaster got past the firewall no easy remote mantaince for that. Of corse you can't forget the man hours lost waiting for data to come thought a network that is half as fast because of the msblaster trafic until all systems have been cleaned. Before you say that all those systems should have been updated think about the fact that all patched don't get rolled out until they can be test because microsoft updates break software that could be worse then 10 MS Blast virus if you had to regost all system back without the patch.
Take an Office 97 Document Add Bullets change the bullet from the standard bullet to another charter like a squre then save. Open that documented in Office 2000 and see if those bullets are there. I have recieved documents like that before.
I have to agree. I work in Tech Support for an ISP and I can't tell you the number of time the questions of what version of windows are you running gets answered windows 97.
He was tring a 128 K connections and at that X would run slow. Rember he said cable modem. Most cable modems run 1.5/3.0 Megs downstream but only run between 128-384 K upstream. Make X run in between 128-384 K which from what I have read already is slow.
They use a figure like 90 movies a month because very few people think that 180 Giga's sounds like much but if you say 2000 songs or 90 Movies it puts it into some that most people could understand.
Take away your car most people in NYC don't drive in and out of work. Forget about that beer as most people in NYC don't cary much cash ATM all over the place take it out $20.00 at a time. Forget about the BBQ/picnic it take hours to get out of the city and central park after dark isn't safe without a blackout. Granted most people will make the best of it but there is alway a small area with problems.
Big Flaw in your design. It's this things called laptop's. Someone takes one home then connects it to his Cable Modem/DSL connection gets infected and bring that back into you nicely firewalled network and bam your entire network is crashing hard.
I don't think he is look for fairdust but he is look for tweaks that could improve preformance. Ex. I had a linux box that had slow disk access cause me file sever to slow down. Someone sugested I turn on DMA. Hard drive speed doubled and I required less system to do the same work. He is looking to ous to see what he might be doing wrong or if his results a the same as other.
I will give you bluetooth as I have no Idea but I have a webcam works fine. I have an MP3 Player works fine. I have a PDA works fine. I have lots of gadgets that work fine in linux. More and more without speacial support being required right out of the box.
I can't rember if it problem was relsovled with comment in the orignal article or if there was a 2nd on the topic. Look for another around the same date.
See Slashdot arcives it is there. RedHat used reverse engering documents presented by a BSD developer to create drivers for a raid control under linux. The Structs and basic foot print were simlair because of RedHat took his sample code and based there drivers off it. In the end RedHat update to driver to credit the deveoper who created that same code that RedHat deveopled there driver from and for the most part smothed over the problem/mistake. I am assume that is what he is talking about.
As a former wal-mart dept. manger I can tell you yes there movies are edited. Althought most movies are left alone there are some movies you will never see or will see a few sections here and there cut out. The movie company were doing different covers to show that they weren't the same but like the CD you would get some returns based on the edited contant.
That the code inside Linux isn't from SCO but the code inside SCO is from Linux?
How to prove that? If SCO wasn't using any kind of CVS - and... It hasn't been tampered with... Try to convince and explain that to a judge and jury;)
Simpler then that. All code is copyrighted. All you have to do is show prof when the code was copyright. Copyright are something that can be understand even by people would wouldn't understand things like CVS commits and things of that nature. Plus CVS can't be confirmed thought legal channels.
Because Windows 95 / Windows 3.11 no longer supports bug fixes and security updates. We currently use 2000 as it is the most stable version out there. However at some point microsoft will drop support for 2000 and before that point we would have to upgrade to XP then longhorn or straight to longhorn. Yes this would take years but at some point that program that works fine and doesn't have any major problems and just works will no longer be useable because microsoft decided it wasn't going to make the 16 bit API avaible anymore. Just goes to show that if you use microsoft stuff you have to either keep rewriting it to the API of the week or just watch the program no longer work.

No You are missing the point.
1) Yes Redhat / other company or inhouse tech could support you old setup with securty patches. Rember you have the source code right there.
2) XP wouldn't have updates anymore so every cracker out there would love you.
Just Like Windows Never changes interfaces between versions. Those 95 driver work great in XP after all.
Does your web cam work as a digi cam too?
No just a cheap webcam doesn't apear to be labeled.
Your MP3 player, it will hold more than 5GB of mp3s?
Yes 6 GB, althought the company also makes 20's as well. It is the archos Jukebox 6000
Does your pda use USB? Is it less than 3 months old?
Uses USB. More then 3 Months old. It is a handspring platum and that wasn't as easy as pluging it in. I had to configure pim software for that.
I will give you bluetooth as I have no Idea but I have a webcam works fine. I have an MP3 Player works fine. I have a PDA works fine. I have lots of gadgets that work fine in linux. More and more without speacial support being required right out of the box.
