How do you know that the position wasn't outsourced?
To say that whomever programmed it (with the bug) should lose their job to outsourcing is typical
management speak - sickening.
Well, if you checked one of those
links you'd find
this funny stuff from the judge:
And, she said, the fact that DVD decryption keys were widely available online in programs like DeCSS did not make Hollywood's attempts to block copying useless.
"This is equivalent to a claim that, since it is easy to find skeleton keys on the black market, a dead bolt is not an effective lock to a door," she wrote.
She doesn't want to get it. She completely fails to address
the underlying issue of being able to have a
good backup of something that you purchased.
In her mind, DeCSS is a skeleton key, and CSS is
a deadbolt, and yet a skeleton key can unlock a
deadbolt? Bad analogy judge, bad.
For some reason, I have a difficult time believing
that the MS code is structured well enough to
even have "deep" bugs. Unless you call a large pot
of spaghetti "deep".
It sure seems like the once-a-month patching schedule
has already been obsoleted by MS before this
source code release. Of course I don't really
keep track since it's just too much work.
I do point
them out occasionally to some friends that are still addicted
to MS. The subject line in my e-mail to them is
YAME - Yet Another Microsoft Exploit.
They're starting to 'get it'.

Use gcc 2.95.3 to compile your kernel, not a gcc 3.x.x compiler. The 3.x.x series generates much
fatter code even with the -Os compiler option.
In your case, it might fit. Don't forget however,
that a 2.6.x kernel is no longer self-bootable
from floppy (it only worked on i386 anyway). If you need totally stand-alone
bootable floppy, I'm thinking the best you can do
is a minimal minux floppy with lilo and your kernel. So figure on losing another 26 1K blocks
from from the usable 1435 (32 inodes minimum) blocks. So, you're going to need to get your
bzImage down to about 1410 1K blocks.
Don't count on ever being able to use a non-standard
formated floppy on any given machine.
Whoa. There is no proof that it was stolen/leaked
from a Linux box at all. The file is question
may have been assembled on a Linux box, and then
copied to a Windows machine, and then stolen/leaked
from there. Just because there is a core file
from a Linux machine does not mean it was stolen/leaked from that same machine.
A CD-ROM is not really an advance in technology
if you eliminate the fact it has more capacity
than a floppy. In fact, it is a regression,
because you can only write to it once.
Screw the 60s and 70s, the entire point goes back
100-200 years when the US was settled.
RTFA yourself.
"Urbanization follows agriculture -- it's a natural and important human process," said Imhoff.Throughout history, highly productive agricultural land brought food, wealth and trade to an area, all of which fostered settlements.
This has little to do with Silicon Valley.
In fact, the entire concept is a no-brainer
to any civilization that ever settled anywhere
on the planet.
In fact, I wonder why NASA wasted money on this
study in the first place.
It's short for Internetworking.
Imagine your interstate highways, a given
interstate highway connects at least 2 states.
Internetworking connects at least 2 networks.

Include a cut-up 'Get Out of Jail Free' card also.
This study by mi2g paid for you by the MS FUD machine. Watch for related MS FUD every week.

Well that eliminates 'area 51' and confirms it must be the Martians.

Dumb criminal. He should have said he just got the money from a kid with a bunch of colored pencils. But noooo... he had to get technical.
Well, of course not. Then your mum would know that you don't clean often enough.

Booting from punch card, setting switches, changing disks, all on a machine (64KB of core memory) that would barely fit in a two-car garage.
I miss the good 'ol days. Damn kids are spoiled these days.

That's why Peanut M&Ms exist, so they can make the bag look just as full as regular M&Ms, but with less chocolate!
You are correct. In fact, the original concepts behind markup are over 30 years old.
