You Know You Made A Typo When...... Your SSH client says "Connection refused" instead of "No such host".... New players on your MUD say that you have been offline for the last three days while they made a typo in the hostname and got "Connection refused" instead of "Host not found".
If the poem's score for perfection is plotted along the horizontal of a graph, and its importance is plotted on the vertical, then calculating the total area of the poem yields the measure of its greatness.
A sonnet by Byron may score high on the vertical, but only average on the horizontal. A Shakespearean sonnet, on the other hand, would score high both horizontally and vertically, yielding a massive total area, thereby revealing the poem to be truly great. As you proceed through the poetry in this book, practice this rating method. As your ability to evaluate poems in this matter grows, so will - so will your enjoyment and understanding of poetry.
If you end up in a mess like the one generated by the Welschia worm (and you most likely haven't because you would now what a battlefield you end up with when fast networks full of fast computers with fast ethernet cards start spitting out enough traffic to saturate every link in the network), you need to take desperate measures like this.
First, if you only block ICMP traffic it will save your network but not solve the original problem.
Second, if you inform people to upgrade, half of them will do it and the other half will not because they don't know what to do. And no, they will not tell you.
Furthermore, people will not do anything as long as they can get away with it. "No, I didn't think I needed to do it because everything worked fine.". "Yes, and nothing will work anymore until you fix your computer."
Regarding the real company vs a dorm, it hasn't happened often that I had shut the link towards a remote site but it was done with full support of the networking team and the boss of it. It wasn't to punish them but to protect the other customers and ourselves.
Regarding the Welschia worm, I wouldn't be surprised if they had to do it again.
The Linux version of BPF is not an obfuscation of the BPF code. It is a clean-room re-implementation of BPF by Jay Schulist of the Linux developers, sharing none of the original source code, but carefully following the documentation of the Lab's product.
Linux BPF doesn't use/dev/bpf (or any other device), making it impossible for people to run network sniffers (for a legal reason) without having to fall back to sudo and/or the root password.
Recently I came by this book: Code Reading - The Open Source Perspective, which has the same idea except for when you have the source of a program and not only a binary.
Asked them one time how much it costs to get one shipped to.au but euh... I wasn't happy with the price. I've asked them again, maybe the price has dropped a little bit.
I might not notice it at the moment it actually happens (which will initially open a flood of postings here by people who didn't take the effort in reading the full article or judgement), but like I said there will be enough in-depth discussions in other sources from people who do take the time to construct a proper article about it.
Your synopsis of the case indicates you have paid no attention already.
Bold statement, I've read all the articles posted here, followed and participated in discussions on several mailing-lists and discussed it with people on irc. Not that I agreed with them, or they agreed with me, or agreed with themselves the next day, but I've read enough about it.
Had you been reading SCO preess releases, you might have been alternately amused and outraged.
Not anymore than any other press release in which a company spreads fear, uncertainty[sp] and doubt towards a competing system. And that's not limited to microsoft vs linux.
Did you send in your "one time only" $99 per CPU Linux fee?
No, I don't run Linux on my computers. Feel free to find out what I'm running before portraying my views to be the ones from Redmond.
Do you really think they own all of Unix?
For myself, having read a lot of books regarding the technical implementations of several kinds of *nixes, I do believe nobody owns any of the IP of Unix anymore. But I do believe that the certification of the OpenGroup (or whatever they're called) to check if an operating system follows all the standards defined for the Unix operating system is a good thing. It would be sad if I write MavOS and could label it a Unix because the prompt consists of a $.
Their have backed their ludicrous claims with nothing but slander and insult and so far the only people taking them seriously are M$ and an English major.
Don't forget the people who are buying their shares. Their shareprices are rising (haven't checked them for a couple of days so it could be going down again) so there are people who think they are right.
If you would, kindly sit at that other table in the cafeteria with all the PHB for the durration and quit posting useless drivel.
Ah, the famous "If you're not with us you're against us" policy of people who are too afraid of discussing their favourite subjects.
You must have many moderating friends reading Slashdot.
None. And I was surpised to find out about it too. Maybe it's because my opinion was different but still interesting enough that people thought "he has a point". After all, for me the right to have a discussion is more important than to be allowed to yell how I feel about something without wanting to listen to the opposite group.
You can discuss about it that it was BIG vs small instead of small vs BIG, and that it was BSD and not Linux but yes, not everybody can and will spend money on such a long and expensive case.
Sorry if the real world doesn't happen quickly enough for American attention spans.
I didn't complain about that there are no things happening (I know that to get these things rolling you need time), I was complaining about the fact that despite there isn't any news, people keep reporting en mass about every little move it makes, in which you hear all the previous arguments all over again.
And please don't confuse me with an american. The skin colour might match, but that's more because they originated from my continent.
In the past two months, I've been reading over and over and over and over and over about this court case, without there anything getting something done or new added.
But in the same time, the crowd gets more enthousiastic, more violent in their responses and more sure of themselves.
It feels like the time between october last year and somewhere april this year when the TV stations and pulp-newspapers around the world had specials every day about the upcoming war, with new(tm) and improved(tm) reports about how this was going to be finished and how everything would turn out right at the end.
I'm going to ignore the SCO non-newsitems on slashdot until this case is over and read a proper review of it in one of the less sensational newsletters. Just my 2 cents.

Any idea if that can be done without code change?
That won't work since it resolves to an A record and not to a CNAME.

Personal opinion: stupid idiots who wrongly mix political goals with technical capabilities. Just because we can doesn't mean we should.

They're cheating, they've moved their icmpd into the kernel.

"I just feel disgusted," Merino said. "I said that I wasn't ever going to turn off my phone, but I did this morning. It was annoying."
That will not help her, since SMS messages are buffered and will be delivered when the phone is turned back on.
ObNelson: Ha-ha!
When I teased my girl about it, she countered with "only the ones who were too stupid to be caught, the real ones are still over in England.".
I am beaten, unable to use that argument again.
Ironically, it was Operation Iraqi Freedom that ultimately severed Iraq's residents from the Internet.
