The book doesn't assume l33t-ness nor coddle the reader.
I hate to sound 'l33t' but I wish there were more books for people who has used linux for a long time. It's hard to aquire any new knowledge when most books are targeted at people with little experience. Of course there is a lot of good places on internet to get good tips and advice but that defeats the whole point of a book.
1) What is the proper Unit for "semantic mindshare".
Clearly you are not yet familiar with the unit "Library of Congress". If there is anything slashdot has taught us it's that _anything_ can be measured in LOC.
If CERT would just move their headquarters to the IIS devs room in redmond, that would probably save a lot of money for CERT. They should be a part of the regular IIS dev team.
Actually emulating a TI calculator will make the attacker think "well this guy obviously has the skill and have taken the time to emulate a silly calculator, better not screw with someone as l33t as him"
Im sitting here desperatly trying to get settlers (the first in the series) to run under dosemu (great project btw) and it occurred to me. Why doesn't Bluebyte release this under the GPL or something like that? It's not like they are selling huge quantities of this game.
It's almosed impossible to properly run this game with sound and everything on a modern PC unless your modern PC happends to have a legacy sb16 awe ISA card.
If they released old titles perhaps small communities would pop up not to mention the good will the company would get. just my $.02
I have a multithreaded perl app (yes perl has descent thread support in 5.6 and later) which does a lot of mixed write/read I/O to and from a database. With 2.4 and 40 threads I can hardly use the system (of course I dont have to abuse my computer with 80 threads but Im trying to prove a point here). Switching to a new tabbed terminal in fluxbox it takes ages to redraw and switching between virtual desktops is an act of futility. With 2.5 It get good interactive performance and don't see this effect much at all. For sure this is also a bit due to the new VM code. Of course I would probably get the best interactivity with the SFQ scheduler but thats secondary in this case. At least xmms doesn't skip with this during very heavy I/O. I do not use the new NPTL code which would help further I suppose.
Has been available for a couple of days now, since the mirrors are gonna get hit bad now i figure i could contribute with my unofficial 100Mbit mirror. ISOs for i386 here: mirror
Dont forget to check the md5sums, I could be an evil blackhat after all. Enjoy.
One of the biggest obstacles that SETI officials face is determining the appropriate exchange rate from the intergalactic rugblat to the dollar.
This simply isn't true, The Guide has the following on the topic:
MONETARY UNITS: None. In fact there are three freely convertible currencies in the Galaxy, but none of them count. The Altarian Dollar has recently collapsed, the Flainian Pobble Bead is only exchangable for other Flainian Pobble Beads, and the Triangic Pu has its own very special problems. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this basic premise it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also the product of deranged imagination.
Since a long name such as GNU/X11/Apache/Linux/TeX/Perl/Python/FreeCiv becomes absurd, at some point, you will have to set a threshold and omit the names of the many other secondary contributions. There is no one obvious right place to set the threshold, so wherever you set it, we won't argue against it.
Quakenet for example had 100k users several weeks ago and it's not even the largest network (although it is the largest network without all the bullshit netsplits every 4 minutes or so)
Wonder how long before this is contraband code like DeCSS.
Non-region coded dvdplayers are almost defacto now, im not so sure this will cause a stir. It seems to me the big media providers have more or less given up on the whole region thing.

InnoDB uses row based locking.

RMS 5.0 released!
Sorry that's GNU/RMS 5.0 of course...

Yes this tool is what most of the article is about if you would just take the time to read it.

When you register on Joker.com you don't own your domain. They do. I used domainsnext.com At least they seem honest.
Dammit it's supposed to say 80 threads in both cases and yes I did preview but I've been awake for too long. Sorry

The product groups are very much independent at the moment - Windows, SQL, Exchange are all pretty much separate.
;)
How about they just use the IIS guys room as base of operations?

Am i the only one who though for about .8 seconds that the article was about GNU Automake?
I best cut down on the wine I think...
