here at Stanford, we have the GATES COMPUTER SCIENCE building. The rumor is he entered the discussion with "what isthe absolute minimum I have to give to get my name on the building" -- and proceeded to negotiate his donation down.
none of the people in the gates building use MS stuff, as far as I can tell.
technology will eliminate this possibility soon too -- I do it all the time, but it's not too hard to stop sending stuff to clients that don't view your ads.
Use a script or scripts -- keep an up to date list of the ftp-accessible RPM resources for your distribution. Use --test with rpm -Uvh and when you have a dependancy -- just grep your list(s) and wget anything you need. In all, it keeps you on top of what is going on with your system. Not hell at all, IMHO.
I will share the scripts I use for mandrake if anyone wants them.
It doesn't appear Slashdot has much to do with the open source community lately either. If it really makes you sad, consider what blather makes headline on Slashdot. I don't mean this as a troll. I'm honestly disappointed over the last few months about drift on Slashdot too.
I guess my question is relevant because most users don't know about this / or don't know how to do this. I just see it as a possible reason against useing and promoting this kind of net access.
I am no expert here, but I've HEARD all sorts of nasty things about the insecure nature of 802.11b networks. If it does become popular to have free networks of wireless access, doesn't security become even more of an issue? I imagine lots of hackers watching all the traffic siphoned through their antennas. Can anyone comment?

Seoul, Korea, July 16, 2001 -- Korean Air, Korea's national flagship airline, and IBM today announced that Korean Air has completed the first phase of developing its core business applications running on Linux for the IBM.
Korean Air's Flight Schedule Enquiry System and the Daily Revenue Accounting System employ Linux on IBM hardware and software.
The enquiry system provides flight crew members with on-line real-time flight schedule information, which they can update anytime. More than 3,000 Korean Air pilots and flight attendants are currently using the system.

amex membership rewards is the best rewards program I've found. its free on gold cards (which are $75 a year) and I think you can add it to any other amex card. We've gone to disneyworld a few times on membership rewards points.
Nolo Law has a Trade Secret Basics FAQ where I was able to learn a lot. Specifically, they state that the definition has a carve-out for "improper acquisition and theft." -- Meaning I DO think that you would be legally bound to maintain that as a trade secret, just as if you has stolen the documents yourself.

I would be careful with many of the Oreily books. It used to be their books were standard references for the most important areas. In the last few years, however, I've seen many many books on more and more obscure topics. Its gone from a small series of really important books to a book-mill approach covering every topic they can. I'm not saying the quality is less - most of the recent oreily books I've never read. Just that the topic themselves may not stand the test of time.
Slashdot Mirror
i submitted a story last week about IBM embedding strong cryptographic chips in their computers and it was rejected.
instead we have MIT boneheads embedding a switch in a bear.
all your comment are belong to us

saying spam is 'protected free speech' is a load of shit -- their right to publish ends when it costs ME MONEY
go back and learn the difference between liberties and licence and then we'll talk.

they tried to support their actions: 1) by citing 1st amendment rights and 2) by including an unsubscribe button.
People should flood them with complaints.

the REAL question we should be grappling with is, given the context, does it make sense that SHARING a string of zeros ands ones is ILLEGAL.

./ admins should code up a "kill" link on each post. when 10K kill links are hit from unique ip b-blocks , the message goes away.
of course they are responsible...
and so is microsoft for selling me the OS that made it possible
and gateway for my keyboard
digital for my monitor
that criminal who wrote the rfc for tcp/ip
intel for the CPU
the state of california for allowing some miscreant to supply me power to run my computer
microsoft again for the mouse
my boss for not watching me closely enough at work
and my wife is responsible because she helped me get up today on time for work, so I am now awake and can click on the file to share
whatever
... I wonder when this sort of thing will start to be a more common event.

I agree
I would go one step further. I would like an apache module that can recognize requests for certain resources, like
/scripts/root.exe?/c+dir
/c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir
/scripts/..%c0%af../winnt/system32/
etc.
and then just add that ip immediately to 127.0.0.1 without writing anything to access or error logs.
... as long as we're wishing...

Gee I've had several "transient websites" that (at the time) were never meant to be...
I'd rather not have anyone backing them up!

Fire in the hold!
U-Mass has a cool collections of Robot videos here from their Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics: http://www-robotics.cs.umass.edu/robotics-mpegs.ht ml
-- a must see for those interested in robotics.
sounds like a new Internet technology. Hope no one gets burned.
