I'm considering SuSE for my next distro. I switched to RHEL recently because I wanted a stable, supported machine that I didn't have to think too hard about keeping up to date. Today I had to mess around because makedev from up2date conflicts with something I had to add because RedHat doesn't include multimedia support. If that wasn't frustrating enough, I upgraded to their most recent XFree86 rpms. A ctrl-shift-alt-backspace locked up my machine. It's still down because I'm tired of dealing with it for today.
I wouldn't use linux at all if java were easier to set up on FreeBSD. I don't even like java but I need it for enough things that it's worth having.
I must be a closet masochist because I keep going back to RedHat. I've messed around with SuSE, Mandrake, Gentoo and Slackware but I always felt there were compelling reasons to stick with RH. Those reasons are slowly evaporating. I really hope SuSE stays good under Novell's ownership.
They don't really want to stop terrorism, that wouldn't be in their interest. They want to appear as though they are trying to stop terrorism. That IS in their interest.
I wouldn't! Those who would trade liberty for security not only deserve neither but can expect neither. When representaives of the only government to be condemned by the World Court for terrorism want to question their citizens, it's time to start worrying.
That explains it. The spams I've been getting lately are less and less legible. They can't possibly think they are doing marketing anymore. As far as I'm concerned, it's no better than harassment or vandalism.
You are ignoring self-censorship. Various news organizations bury stories for various reasons. The most egregious example is how virtually all the media gave the Bush administration a free pass while the FCC was deciding whether or not to relax ownership rules.
And yes, Virginia, sponsors really do pressure news editors.
To really find out what's going on you have to wade through a bunch of tin-foil-hat stuff. Investigative reporting has become so marginalized that the only places you can find it are conspiracy pages.
It's not the cable/satellite providers. It's the channels themselves. If I'm running Jim's Cable TV and I want to offer my customers TNT, for example, Turner might make me buy TBS, The Cartoon Network and the CNN channels as one package. That means I have to charge my customer for all those. So I might as well give him the channels he is paying for.
I know this because I worked for a satellite TV provider. It was like pulling teeth to be able to offer ESPN to our customers. Finally one of our managers had to call Eisner personally to straighten things out. As much as I'd like to make the cable companies out to be the bad guys, it's really the networks.
It's weird because I had the opposite impression. I'm using FeeBSD 5.2 release on my laptop. It solid and has everything I need. Getting java will be a hassle because I don't have room to compile it but I think it makes a great desktop.
On the other hand, I couldn't get the 5.2 kernel to boot on my HP Pavilion that I'm re-purposing as a server. OpenBSD proved an excellent solution. Now I think of OpenBSD as my main server OS and FreeBSD as my desktop. Of course I still have a linux box for java and whatnot.
I think FreeBSD is very user friendly. Most stuff just works.
He could have a literary web site and call it MikeRoweProse.com. Or if he becomes a mechanic, MikeRoweMachines.com. If he takes up Taoism, MikeRoweWay.com. And if his kid sells machinery, his domain could be SonofMikeRoweSystems.com
I think it would be an appropriate ending to the case if IBM got it dismissed for lack of standing. Since SCO is suing IBM over the terms of a deal made with a third party, they're already on shaky ground. If Novell is right about the terms of the asset transfer, then SCO doesn't have anything to say about what IBM does with derivative works. As far as SCO is concerned, IBM is in some other corner of the universe. IBM's license for the SysV code precedes Caldera's purchase. I would argue that SCO has no legal standing to sue IBM.
If SCO can figure out how to prove they have some standing to file the suit, then they can address the question of whether or not any of IBM's contributions are derivatives of SysV code.
I always wondered why the SW movies all sucked after Empire. It turns out Lucas was making the movies for his retarded 5 year old son.
Actually, now that I think about it, most movies seem like they were written for retarded 5 year olds.
That's a good observation. I've noticed that sportscasters use the word ironically when they really mean coincidentally. (And I am, of course, surprised that sportscasters would make grammatical errors.)
It should already transmit billions of Joules from the Van Allen belt to the earth. The scpace elevator sounds like a giant lightning rod. We need to find a way to work with all that juice.
Actually, Tesla was doing doing something similar in the early 20th century. He somehow made use of the earth as a ground and a power radiating device. It's what ultimately cost him his financial support from Westinghouse.
Any modern Tesla fans want to weigh in? Have any of those experiments been duplicated?
But, if the firewall observes the packet, the bit becomes fixed at zero so the security expert never becomes aware of it. But, if the security expert is paranoid and starts examining packets coming in to the firewall, his observations will cause the evil bit to be set on all packets.
At least the Windows admins will be able to sleep since they know Microsoft would tell them if there was anything to worry about. Since there is nothing to worry about, no evil bit is set.

misplace that "m" key there?
:)
You have to compile an extra port to get the "m" key.

Help, I'm being moderated by a brain-dead republican. ;)

I wonder how it would have been handled if his last name sounded Arabic?
There are lies, damned lies and TCO numbers.

I agree, Linux doesn't even let you reboot every time you add a driver. What fun is that!
This story is a big yawner. Who in their right mind would even look at the code?

Of course, IANAL, but I play one on the internet.

And of course they'll have TEMPEST vans roaming around trying to pick up unauthorized computers. (Paranoia is just reality on a finer scale.)
You could use two layers of plexiglass with an inert gas in between ....

Time to shut the hell up, SCO. You tried. You had balls but the game is over. Go home.

I have to wonder ...
If there really are identical lines of code between Unixware and Linux, are there archives of commit logs for the kernel so the source can be traced?
It may be that someone stole Unixware code or it could be the other way around.
