Follow the comments and realize that the women would not have been as upset if the participants had not been 90% male, if the audience mix was more or less 50/50 male female the presentation would have just been labeled as being in extremely bad taste.
Some of this may be we (the open source community) have a problem, because we have a problem.
It is not about the percentage of comments being sexist it is about the frequency of being exposed to sexist comments.
If every morning when you check the list you know there is going to be an offensive email will you some days just decide you don't want to deal with it and delete all the emails from the list?
You know the saying there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
Val (linux kernel hacker) has mentioned in an interview that having a name that could be either male or female has helped her avoid a lot of what other women get subjected to in the open source world.
What is interesting is that the drupalcon in Europe is flagged as an example while drupal is one of the few projects that seems to do a decent job getting women to code for it. So, just because there are sexist comments that annoy women, does not mean that this is the big problem just the most visible.
It could be related to the ability of end users to scream directly at the developers of most projects, and several other structural issues.
Their is variance among open source projects on their participation rates of women, and it might be more useful to compare what the projects that have women coding for them are doing compared to those that don't.
That said, sexist comments are frequent enough to generate statistics about them. That in and of its self should be a bit of a red flag.
Much of that is under the department of defense so that they can black it out in the name of national security.
Not that the military is bad, just that the shysters have discovered more cover for their scams there.
Multi billion dollar engines. (an clean energy scam, but being run on fighter jets because no one will let them build billion dollar engines for buses.)
It should be noted that the Federal Reserve has plowed a not insignificant amount into Goldman Sachs and other friends of the Fed.
Setting ssh to a port higher than 1023 is a bad idea. There are examples with code floating about of how to undermine a crashed ssh that is running on a high port.
If you need to run ssh on a high port you should bind it to 127.0.0.1 on a low port Normally it is easier to find an unused port
FreeBSD security has a thread on it on this topic going right now. The general consensus of the list seems to be that if you move off of port 22 to remove log spam, you need to start coming up with a log monitoring solution that works for your servers.
I don't break functionality of IE6 sites, but if the off by three bug shows up on IE6 whatever, It's an old browser,and people that use it, like the people that use Netscape 4 don't really expect the web to work completely correct.
the BSDs don't go after supporting every POS hardware product on the planet, they focus on supporting the ones that get used in production environments where performance and reliability are far more important than cost. If you want to use some half assed/cheapo/bargin bin hardware product, *BSD isn't what you want, thats not its focus and anyone who uses it will tell you so.
Last I heard Etrade was still running gentoo. (The etrade website is emerged and the whole system is run through qa and then pushed live.)
When I was asked to make computer purchases for a brokerage firm none of your issues were what I used to decide on a choice. It was ROI, Risk of failure over the life time of the hardware, and competitive advantage, if any. (I ran the numbers six ways till sunday and swallowed my morals and said by microsoft for the trading stations, (actual loss for a crash in a fast moving market vs, the 3x cost of not using Microsoft,) Everything is about money in Banks and Brokerage Houses, I don't think ease of management would have made any impression on anyone unless you could explain how it improved their Christmas bonus.
The last time I compiled linux for x386 I was given the option of supporting more than 4 gig of ram with a warning not to do it unless you needed to because of the performance penalty.
It seems like the cost effective thing to do in the vast majority of cases with x386 is to get multiple boxes with 4 gig of ram. The exception seems to be some database servers with a particular load pattern.
There is *NO FUCKING REASON* for a POS cash register to need 64 bit hardware or software
I can think of one off the top of my head. SSL.
64bit makes encryption much faster. Of course you are probably one of those people that thinks it is just fine that Best Buy has sent credit card numbers with authorization codes over wifi unencrypted at their stores.
And the system has one of the following modules loaded or compiled into the kernel:PF_APPLETALK, PF_IPX, PF_IRDA, PF_X25, PF_AX25, PF_BLUETOOTH, PF_IUCV, IPPROTO_SCTP/PF_INET6, PF_PPPOX, PF_ISDN,
or/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr does not equal 0
Only two of my systems were vulnerable before being patched.
the recent mmap_min_addr feature. Note that this feature has known issues until at least 2.6.30.2. See also this LWN article.
on IA32 with PaX/GrSecurity, the KERNEXEC feature
not implementing affected protocols (aka, reducing your attack surface by disabling useless stuff):PF_APPLETALK, PF_IPX, PF_IRDA, PF_X25, PF_AX25, PF_BLUETOOTH, PF_IUCV, IPPROTO_SCTP/PF_INET6, PF_PPPOX, PF_ISDN, but there may be more
So the file server behind a firewall that I have that uses appletalk is vulnerable, otherwise I don't think I am vulnerable, If I find some exploit code I will try it though, just to make sure.
Maybe the issues is that most servers don't use those protocols, and desktops are not as fully audited.
You have obviously never done tech support over the phone.
Wait until you are trying to figure out what the person on the other end of the phone is looking at and where they clicked wrong and you will understand why tech support people love the shell.
When I am helping people fix osx over the phone I am more likely than not to wind up telling the person to type commands into the terminal.
Lots of people complain about Redhat charging every day.
As for CentOS, it is probably core to Redhat's business, as no body is going to develop an app on Fedora, and deploy on RHEL as you would have to retest everything, may as well use Ubuntu as RHEL if you are moving off Fedora, Ubuntu might even be easier to move to.
CentOS is what people that think they might have to deploy on RHEL for production use for skunkworks projects.

Note, I did not say that a third have unsafe drinking water, I just gave the upper bound.
I remember reading about a town within commuting range of DC that does not have potable water, even with boiling, (mining pollution).
Based on the biases of the study I feel fairly safe saying that what they claim is the upper bound probably is the upper bound.

In California there seem to be three judges assigned to most civil cases.
The Trial judge that will issue the ruling about the case and so on.
The Law and motion judge that will make rulings on most of the motions filed by the parties.
And a third judge that has the sole job of trying to keep the case moving forward and eventually leaving litigation.

But that doesn't help fix the problem.

The fourth most visited website is generally considered to be a major website, and it has dropped support for IE6.
I don't break functionality of IE6 sites, but if the off by three bug shows up on IE6 whatever, It's an old browser,and people that use it, like the people that use Netscape 4 don't really expect the web to work completely correct.
So, I take it that mozilla foundation is not interested in hosting gecko frame.

Do you know if that was pre or post "google patches" being donated to mysql?
How is lighttpd offensive to Native Americans? :-)
A +/- variation of 50% in something as simple as the number of machines sampled leads me to believe there more then likely other errors.
I want to know where I can by the anti-virus software from Unknown - it seems to be the most popular by a long shot,
Those were the one with no virus or the virus removed by the botnet and replaced with N0RT0N.exe.
most people aren't getting it preloaded
Did I fall asleep and wake up in another lecture? Somebody pre-loads Linux?!
Dell, among others.

Actually it reduces the liquidity because the index funds by a not insubstantial portion of the company.
I would Guestimate that 10% of the company will be bought by passive long term investors in the next week.
