Probably a POC. One of these days, such an attack
will take down many many doze boxen. It will be
a real wakeup call for many people. Those that
have been paying attention are already off or weaning themselves off of the MS addiction.
Those that have not been paying attention or
are buying the MS FUD are taking a huge risk.
Having the right only exists (by definition) because you are sentient. You also have the right to not reproduce.
Other species (except whales and dolphins) do not have that choice.
To say that you have no fundamental right to
reproduce is to say you are nothing but meat, an animal that is entirely driven by instinct and pheromones.
The right to reproduce is given to you *because* you exist and that is how genes operate and *persist* over time.
The fact that you are sentient gives you *choice*.
The only way your fundamental right to reproduce
can be taken away from you is via genetic accident.
Exactly. And then to go and blame security issues on Linux?
You can't tell me they don't have Windows machines!
The article reads funny to me. Why would you
migrate SAP from Unix to Linux if it was already
working? SAP is a monster, and if it's not broke,
don't fix it.
Only if the Corp of Engineers gives up trying to
control the Mississipi River.
If they don't let the siltation process occur, 30-40 miles inland could turn into
just another 30-40 years of bought time before
that buffer erodes away.
Yes, the city should be rebuilt in a better location, but only if that location is long term sustainable.
And that is why there is now a mandatory evacuation. With the levees failing (2 major breaks already), the city is being flooded
even worse than the video you may have already seen. With no power, and no hope of fixing the
levees soon, there is no choice but to force
everyone out.
Can New Orleans be fixed up sufficiently by 2006-02-28?
You forgot that the 'soil' is constantly sinking.
It is just silt from the Mississipi River that
must be replenished. The levees prevent that
re-silting which could maintain the elevation.
New Orleans will eventually either disappear
or have to be maintained in a different manner.
In the long run, it probably would be best to
abandon the city entirely, but that won't happen,
so, all the taxpayers in the U.S. will have to
pay for it even if they don't live there.

Do you see why the BRAC is wrong?
The wrong direction.
Pay attention. You're obviously not from Massachusetts.
You should not even be thinking of going to a proprietary format controlled by the darkside.
IBM and HP 'get it'. MS does not 'get it'.
See MS. See why they love the BSD license but absolutely hate GPL.
The 'rest of the internet' may not be useful down the road.
Disasters are always just a matter of time.
Rumour has it the FEMA director was last spotted there.
Google Groups is your friend.
You will find (with some effort) information about problems, products, programs, procedures, etc.
You can waste lots of time searching the web.
That is due to bullshit websites that have lots of keywords but no information.
MS likes to support those sites that frustrate Linux newbies.
Where have you been? Did you recently figure out how to connect to the net?
If not, then don't spread misinformation. There is no comparison between MS and Standard Oil in terms of penalty, because MS received no penalty!
But I've got bad news for The Convicted Monopolist, it is their software that is the national security problem.
They will moderate down anything they disagree with.
It's now +5 Insightful. Of course you were modded Flamebait even though you made a valid point also.
Q.E.D.
Even better, install YellowDog Linux on one of your Macs, install OO on that, transfer file(s) via net or floppy!
Hell, it doesn't just suck, it's depressing.
