I'm glad they support Sparc, as Solaris is no longer supported and Linux has some serious problems on Sparc systems. The old Sparc hardware is very reliable and neat and OpenBSD makes a nice replacement for Solaris.
Apple doesn't have this, some apps are the white look, some are the brushed metal. Windows apps often look quite different. Why should X developers do any different? The app works doesn't it?
My first Linux system was a Compaq SLT386/20, 20MHz 386SX with 387FPU, 10MB RAM, 100MB HD and mono display. The last install I had on it was Debian 1.3 which ran fine, the biggest problem was lack of disk.
lots of people/companies asked the OpenSSH group to include the ability to include rate limiting
Lot's of people/companies are free to add that functionality to the codebase and use it however they want. OpenBSD has a much better method for dealing with these attacks and people/companies are free to put OpenBSD upstream to limit them.
This is better dealt with at the network level where the functionality can apply to all network traffic, rather than the application where it may lead to vulnerabilites due to complexity. It may also be a vector for DOS.
Microsoft should provide a framework for allowing vendors to cryptographically sign their binaries. Then a mechanism for users to verify the signatures and after verification sign the binary with their own signature.
Why should the vendor decide what's worthwhile to run? The real solution is to have embedded crypto-signing where the vendor signs their software, then the user may verify the signature before signing the binary with their own key. This way the binary is verified, and only verified binaries are allowed.
Whomever told you that lithp ith inaccethible ith obviouthly a thtupid ingnoramuth. Lithp ith the greateth thoftware language, with clear thructure and eathy maintenanthe.
Debian installs fine on my Sparcs, but Linux kernel crashes on Sparc. Debian patch or vanilla tarball, you can get the kernel to shit within 30 minutes of running crashme. Try it.
OpenBSD is much better for these old Sparcs, hopefully the MP will come up to scratch for the MBus boxes.
Geez some people get a stick up their ass over these experiments. The whole point of the experiment wasn't to show that chimps are as smart as humans, but to prove some animals not a thick as we would like to think they are.
I don't see what the problem is, aside from some dogmatic religious mumbo-jumbo that makes people actually believe they are outside the realm of the world which created them.
Fact is, most people are worthless wastes of molecules. In fact, I have encountered many people who I could hardly describe as sentient despite the fact that they could talk.
Unless you're playing games your wasting your money.
I ran Debian for a couple of years on a Compaq 386/20 with 10MB RAM and 100MB HD. My spare laptop is one of those 486 butterfly Thinkpads with Debian 2.2, still runs great with IceWM and Netscape.
My current laptop is a PII 233 with 128MB RAM running Debian Sarge. Using IceWM and launch from xterm, works great but a little sluggish with Firefox. Hopefully FF1.5 will make it happy.
Current desktop is 433MHz Celeron with 392MB RAM, 300GB disk which is basically the same system I built six years ago with 32MB RAM and 1GB disk originally, and been incrementally upgrading. It works solid and hasn't missed a beat bar a couple of DeathStar drives taking a dive.

I waited until Lynx supported cookies.

What you don't get is RMS' point. Wake me when you've initiated a worldwide movement which has made the world a better place.

They actually mean "OMG p0wn13s!!!".
I thought free software was an ideology, not a spec.
Young is cheap.
My mother used to enjoy typing games into my Vic, of course I would have to play them then.

They were all military operations, the grandparent was suggesting that humanitarian opererations may be more effective.
People with opinions like yours are what's wrong with this world.

Three cheers for fake ID!
Controller is a lightsaber.
More filler, less killer.
I chose Gentoo because it's far more agile than Debian in many respects.
Yeah, you can hardly keep up with the bleeding-edge bugs and configuration changes.
Warning, DO NOT watch the badger clip!

Does everything (barely), but good enough.
No, I'm not passing judgement on Xbox or MS. But you can't say your a free-software zealot if you use non-free software when it may inconvenience you.
It's like saying "I'm heterosexual, except when I see a big fat cock!"
