If you employ any kind of log server (syslog-ng, for example), then these log files may also be sitting somewhere besides the Ubuntu hosts. This also illustrates the benefit of wrapping syslog traffic in some kind of encyrption (good article at http://www.samag.com/articles/2005/0506/ - dead tree only, unfortunately).
I'll agree with the summary article says about the study (I didn't read the original report). We have tried everywhere we can to implement open source solutions. They tend to stick in the datacenter, but on the desktop, there is just too much work involved in getting things to work. We have even had OSS engineers from Sun working with us on one project. We pulled the plug, because it was just too much work. We went with an Apple desktop solution, using their proprietary video player. And trust me. We had lots of hope for Sun and their OSS solution, because it would have meant fewer fat clients and our dream of a minimal management thin client alternative.
No, most OSS isn't ready, despite our high hopes for it.
That article is so full of misinterpretations of microbiology that it's laughable.
These bacteria/fungus aren't especially deadly. They're just associated with nasty diseases. These diseases are typically only acquired by the compromised (e.g. "unhealthy immune system"). The same stuff that gives women yeast infections can kill you, if you're compromised. No 7-day treatment will help.
Back in my day, when I wanted journals, I'd use the mainframe terminal session to request books via the Inter-Library Service (usually stuff translated from Russian, who were the leaders in rhizobiology research). The bound journals would arrive on a truck within about a week or two, the Libraries would email me, and I would go check it out, photocopy the article I needed, then return it. "Wow, how convenient," I thought.
Today, my wife is in her PhD. program, and when she needs a journal article, she requests it via a web page. If there's an electronic version available, she downloads the PDF. If there isn't, someone at a library (part of the ILS consortium) scans the article and makes it available for her to download! "Holy crap!," I thought. Talk about service! It's that sort of application acts as a stellar "electronic knowledge gateway" that validates having a network-capable laptop computer. Never mind the availability of courseware management systems and online learning tools many campuses employ today.
Besides, our student surveys have shown that most students already own computers when they arrive, and a good portion of those have laptops.
Check out VBrick Systems. They make some cool encoders, some with built-in hard drives for recording. They also have software that can record from these streams (but it runs on Windoze - the actual "bricks" run a Unix-based embedded OS).
There is a "Contact Us" form on the HD DVD Promotion Group's website.
I just told them that I would buy neither HD DVD content nor devices if it doesn't work with my two existing component/DVI HDTV television sets. I suggest you all do the same.
No, I'm not a staunch capitalist. I don't really even invest much. But, if you play by the rules of capitalism, you die by those same rules. Unless this is being funded directly by the shareholder founders, then it's not clear this adds shareholder value, and therefore puts Google at risk.
as long as it can play Wizards of Wor and Ms. Pac Man, like the old sit-down arcade "cocktail table" games. Those were bitchen. I knew exactly where to hit the Ms. Pac Man table with a pool cue to get free games...
Bob's a smart guy. I've had emails with him. But he needs to get a carbon monoxide detector in his study. I think his heater's running funny this week...
Geez you are so wrong it's ridiculous. Unfortunately, this is par for the course for most/. readers - whiny bitches who lack the facts to back up their assertions. This is particularly ludicrous when it's so easy to look up the actual law (hint: try Title 29, "Labor" where Chapter V "Wage and Hour Division" is prominent).
This is so ridiculously not news. All such legislation has loopholes that protects politicans and their lobbying interests. For example, it's not illegal for AARP to ignore the "do not call list," and as such, the only annoying telemarketing I get is from sham "clothing donation" groups (where the telemarketing firms take 50% or so of the "donation"). Anybody bitching or even insinuating that politicians are somehow "circumventing" CAN-SPAM is an idiot. Such use was pre-ordained in the legislation.
They could use it to make a "suitcase" neutron bomb! Sure, it might take hundreds of hours per individual to dispatch them, but terrorists have time on their hands!
We recently had an issue in which Microsoft Office included unlicensed IP (according to a court settlement). Microsoft did not require us to patch existing installations, rather simply protecting our use via the settlement, agreeing to require future installations to include the patch. This seems like a case in which indemnifications worked (although they could have offered some compensation for the extra work - it's cheaper than litigation). For background, see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/facts /topics/ipi.mspx.
How do the OSS indemnification plans stack up? Have there been any significant cases involving IP indemnification?

This is why I have coffee after a night of liquor. Let them duke it out for control of my heart.
I mean, how much does the average pr0n video cost to make? $15K?

then I just thought up the next big thing that Google is going to release!

They ship the products in big containers and we buy them at LL Bean or Wal-Mart...

I mean, have you read the crap snippets out of her recommended books?
Oh wait. I thought that read a different kind of flame.

that you just don't notice it in ignorant people?
Such people do not buy iPods.

Quit bitching if you work hours without recording them officially (which is often illegal).

I mean, what else are you going to develop for? OpenSolaris? I think NOT!
