Yep, exactly. I'm looking for a better unix, not a unix that has been made better for people who don't know unix to use or a unix that has been crippled (is this like when unix replaced multics?!?) to have multiple points of configuration.
I did try that BSD configurations directive mentioned above, but unfortunately it turned on most, but not all of the bsd config files. My honest opinion is that OSX is gorgeous, but not what I'm looking for and isn't quite solid yet. Many apps crashed on me, pgp wouldn't even work (I'd have to buy it for the full version too!) and I just didn't care for apple's own software. If your a unix guy, a good pc is still the way to go. If you don't really know anything about computers but need a good photoshop machine with a cd burner built in, then an apple is just fine.
No, actually it's BSD with a whole bunch of extra crap you don't need on top of it. How about keeping things simple in sync with the unix mentality instead of making everything overly complex like Apple is doing. Hmm, will OSX read this file under/etc or will it skip it in favor of some netinfo entry. Do I care for that sorta lunacy in my OS? No! Do I run OSX? NO WAY!
I'm not an expert in gui programming, and certainly not an expert in any sort of modeling programming, but I was under the impression QT was cross-platform. Osx should have no problem given its unix roots (I can't confirm though), and windows and the various unix's already support it. Could QT work for this guy? It's certainly a very nice looking widget set too!
I've tried writing my congressman several times. I only get back responses saying they appreciate my input but plan to continue with their own agenda anyway. Can anyone think of a better way?
I worked for Harvard Law School for a year as one of my coop assignments and we used a chroot patch I picked up maintenance for to mimic ftp's chrooting (chrootssh.sourceforge.net if yer interested. We found it to work flawlessly and have been using ssh.com's ssh/sftp client for all our users, which include professor's and various employee's maintaining websites. Seeing as those types of users aren't really technical it was great to see they had no problems using our ftp replacement. Good luck!
I've got to ask, without commercials or any sort of advertising aside from mentioning the station your listening to, how does your company produce income? I've listened to squid radio and groove salad for quite sometime and am a big fan so if your main source of income is donations, please make it known so we can help!
Slashdot Mirror
Says they can't do this... this could mean the ITU will push even more so for control. Thanks Verisign, you filthy animals...
I simply refuse to support a company willing to hand over our privacy rights without a fight...
Your stupid. It's Microsoft, the RIAA, or free software because you know better than to use MS or Apple's bsd wanna-be in the first place.
HAHA!! Agreed!!
That doesn't prove anything. Try reading about Cryptography a little and try again. Biotch.
But its put out by Microsoft? I thought one of the coding practices to avoid was coding for Microsoft platforms?
Amen.
I could've sworn the idea with security was that the routers DON'T get compromised... if any system gets compromised, all bets are off.
And slashdot has been goatsexed yet again...
Not really. You've been duped. Remember when record sales were tied almost exclusively to how the economy was performing? No? It's right now!
This plan sounds stupid. 10 burnable songs a month? No thanks. I'll stick to my usual means of aquiring music...
Quick response: you don't know what your talking about. Read about public key cryptography sometime.
SSL is not immune to man in the middle attacks. Where did you get that?!? Any public key system is vulnerable during the first key exchange.
Hurray for Gentoo Linux!
Not quite. Read the vuln again. This assumes you don't have any knowledge of keys yet.

I prefer the unix route.

Now if we could just get a Mr. Fusion to power them!

People who do first post have 1/2" weens so you can't really suck it. Sorry.

Alright.. alright.. I get the point.
I save the pls file and play from there so I don't visit the page very often.

If the game developers start to support Linux then the Hardware will follow.
This is of course a valid point, but unlikely after watching the recent and unfortunate demise of Loki.
