How is this "insightful"?
It doesn't remove the data that they had collected
about you before you edited "hosts".
It doesn't protect you from the data that
Doubleclick has bought.
It doesn't protect people who cannot use
editors because of disabilities,
menthal or physical. It doesn't protect users without
root access.
The logic
here by the official raters is that the antenna tower can be easily removed,
while the pinnacle is a permanent feature of the Petronas towers.
Permanent features can also be easily removed
if you have enough dynamite.
How about BIOS support for large IDE devices? Do any of you remember the
disappointment when your onboard controller couldn't handle a drive larger than
8 gigs?
Let's distinguish BIOS and controllers. I have had problems with BIOS many
times, not only on the 8 Gb, but also on the 512 Mb boundary.
But I have never had any problems with the controllers - the
drive works just fine as long as you don't want to boot from it.
Binaries are already in the Linux source

NSA Inside?

I don't think he is going to put
something in the kernel that he
doesn't have access to the source.
There are already numerous hex images
in the Linux code. Search for the
biggest header files - it's all firmware.
I doubt that Linus has sources
of those files.
Another question is that Linus will
never accept binary-only code when
it comes to security.
Minor correction: what you are
proposing would not eliminate
the ads (which is good, since some sites would
not survieve without them). Instead it would
make it harder to plant so called
"web bugs", including those that
masquerade as ads.
The soldiers will soon
be able to check e-mail and post comments
on Slashdot right during the battle.
Good thing - there will be less Anonymous
Cowards here.
But for now, it's radio only. Geeks in
Space^H^H^H^H^HTrenches, right?
Million people are not needed for culture.
There are many small (<200k) cities in
New England with a great cultural and historic
potential: think Worcester, MA, Newport, RI,
Hartford, CT.
If you don't like living in Bhangor,
do something instead of moaning on Slashdot.
Matrox G400/G450 users will be
delighted to hear that the 3D
has been improved. Enjoy.
Where did you find that?
It's impossible to improve
something in XFree86 that doesn't exist there.
XFree86 does not support
3D on Matrox without a
binary-only close-source driver
from Matrox, called "mga_hal".
Now let's look in the release notes:
The mga driver doesn't attempt
to drive the G450 if the "mga_hal"
module isn't available.
Which means - if G450 is detected
and the closed-source module
"mga_hal" is not found, don't try
to use the "mga" driver - it
won't work.
This certainly qualifies as
an improvement,
especially if the error message
if clear enough and mentions
where to get "mga_hal".
I think it will be easy to persuade the court
that your address in not faked even if you don't
read e-mail for that address at all, but you can
if you want to.
Open your eyes.
"Other internet restrictions"
already exist.
On the other hand, I believe that
unsolicited commercial mailings
with faked return addresses
should be prohibited regardless
of the media they are using.

You only need root to run hwclock or ntpdate. date runs just fine from the user account.
My gosh! My watch is full of worms! Of course, I should have been running Trippwire on it.

But even if it were regulated, do you think that Saddam would respect the requirements of GPL?
Running windows wasn't a requirement mentioned be the original poster. Neither was BSOD.

Addition and subtraction may be more useful for you.
What's wrong? My point was that it's not a part of the XFree86 code, thus the XFree86 team cannot get credit for the improvements made in that driver.
The release notes don't mention any improvements in the open source part of the mga driver.
Next time please read the comment before replying to it.

Forward it to somebody who is 19.5 years old. I wonder how [s]he will look :-)
