It's surely a good news to me. Everyday I got hundreds netbios (137/138/139) port scannings on my Linux server from Windows boxes within the same domain. I always wish somebody would bash them and jail them.
Yes those Windows users might not aware as the netbios port scanning is being done automatically. However, they must take responsible for booting up their netbios port scanning OS which annoy their honest Linux neighbours.
Thomson Multimedia is.... to convince the government to require the computer industry to adopt such a standard. Along with the copy protection schemes built into portable media and hard drives, this is one of the many ways that they are trying to lock down 'rogue' PC devices.
First thing we must do is to crack down 'rogue' companies like this one.
Dear Slashdot,
I work for a custom web solutions company and I'm working on a white paper and presentation that outlines the merits of open source software. This looks to be a difficult project, and I really don't want to to work late this week. Please use your unpaid minions to help me get my research done so I can I can enjoy the weekend.
Dear soda,
/. sends me to assist you. Do you want me to bash Microsoft first, give legal comments which I know little of, worship RMS, or send you to goatsex?
I'll be one of the first engineers to take a number for the angry complaint line if a server goes down because it's time to renew my subscription and I have many angry people wanting to know why...
Sorry I really couldn't control my anger when seeing this.
I'm working for a pretty large organization of more than 180000 full-time/contract employees. Internet access only granted to those projects in need. My project is still pending for a Internet account for half a year because they are running out of license to add user in their proxy and must wait for next budget come!
Come on man! My freaking project is called "xxx Homepage project"! Get a OSS proxy damn it!
Let me see if I get it: as long as it has a processor, someone will get Linux running on it; no matter it's a toaster, refrigrator, tv, etc.
Steve Ballmer once said Linux is virus, may be it is legitimate. This man really have foresight - Linux would be spreading faster than virus and reside in many devices.
Sorry Steve, I bashed you for speaking ill of Linux. I was wrong.
Another sucessful story Open Source beats commercial product: we have Apache, now Mozilla....
Wait....who is the winner if Netscape fall? Mozilla....or IE?
We must thank his sister

After reading this book, I see that Linus doesn't have good childhood, especially with his sister.:)
If it weren't for his sister he might not be the Linus today. At least if they weren't competing on learning English we might not be able to understand what Linus said and couldn't understand his humor in Finish. Also he might have written lousy English in his Linux's README such that no one could follow.
People said every man has a woman behind, it's very true.
No! Don't do that! They might evolve into intelligent martians and come back to attack us! You'll never know how cosmo radition would alter their genetic structure. We have enough trouble to worry when will killer tomatos come and get us all!
Glad to know you. In a review of this movie it said:
The film is based on Arthur C. Clarke's novel, and is divided into four sections. On its own, each section is brilliantly done and each of the individual parts could be made into a movie of its own accord. However the sections do not come coherently together. Sure, it's possible to make a leap of imagination from one section to the next and connect it (and several people have, offering many different interpretations), but that doesn't mean it couldn't have been more coherent.....The third phase of the films involves man's travel to Jupiter. The infamous HAL 9000, an artificially intelligent computer who becomes unstable, dominates the story and threatens the mission....
HAL looks evil to me, but when you make connection of this section with others then it doesn't look so bad. Arthur afterall appraised technologies for bring man from savage to civilisation.
Well, nevertheless, when I worked at IBM people there really loved the stereotype HAL and looking forward to their company made one someday.:D
Man, the progress is really disappointing. We are planning for 9000, now we only get to HAL 2001?!
We'd better contract the core part to Microsoft - they made Office 2000 out of Office 97 in a year! With their help we could see final HAL 9000 before we die!
Shift each characters of HAL to the right you get IBM.
It's coming from 2001: A Space Odyssey based on Arthur C. Clarke's novel, a story about the infamous HAL 9000, an artificially intelligent computer who becomes unstable, dominates and threatens the world. Sounds like Matrix.
The author feared that IBM, biggest computer maker at time, eventually create something uncontrollable. Reality tells us IBM did not create something threatening the world, rather they created something barely beats Kasparov. (Stephen Hawkings was right, modern computers is about as complex as worm's brain)
HAL has then become a word for supercomputer with human intelligence.

Best Rgds,
I'm not arguing that the law is right, that the current form of RIAA music publication is a good one -- merely observing that Gnutella and Napster, as the largest 'public' examples of P2P file sharing, are infamous for their illegal uses, so yes, you do have to stop and ask 'does anyone actually use this thing and not break the law.' It is, using your analogy, closer to having to ask if anyone uses an Uzi for something good, rather than a hammer -- at least for the public.
A website called http://www.filequest.com (It's down now, may be even changed ownership) which has a search engine for all video and music files. Some of them from websites but some of them from an ip address with path (e.g. C:\FAMILY\WIFE01.JPG), then I realize that the search engine not only indexed website, and also millions of IPs and paths of those Windows box shared to public without password connected to Internet! Their MP3s, secret document, copyrighted software and wife's nude were opening for public access.
They didn't installed Napster or something, but they are in effect sharing everything to public. I was wondering, are they against the law? Obviously many of them didn't realise sharing drive without password while browsing Internet was so bad, but they are using Windows' file sharing capability, which they know is for file sharing. I know they are victims, but "ignorant is not an excuse"....
Can I use the same verdict against Napster against those Windows users? I know there are lots of lawyers out there, anyone would tell me? May be I can use the case to shutdown all Windows boxes in Universities, like they did to Napster boxes.:)
Troll Catcher and you has good points. It may work
At least it'll work for inhouse network. We might face legal issue putting it to Internet anyway.
Let's start a project in sourceforge. What do you think?:)
imagine bands of roving web worm maintaining and managing the security of the net. am I just tired, or does this sounds really cool?
You're just tired, and yet your idea is really cool.:)
The problem is how to distinguish good worms from bad worms? I mean, the security worms have root privilege, one bad worm will screw up whole network!
It reminds me of a seminar featuring a security package(on NT) which centralized security maintainance and recovery. Just like your distributed model, the security program have all the administrative power on all workstations. I asked the speaker what if the crackers hacked the centralized facility...
It's sooo important to me. I got discount in Walmart; cops will not charge me for speeding; it increases the odds of getting chicks in party; and it looks really good in my CV.
How can one live with low karma?....Oops, sorry I didn't mean to offend you....
j/k...anyway, only morons would get offended by jokes.
And then using that expensive technology to improve their high tech farms! With all their lush farm land! That's why they never have famines!
Give me a break.
I'm sorry that's not my point. There's no need to act so jumpy on it.
3rd world countries don't necessary imply countries with famines. I was going to say 'other countries where US patent law doesn't apply'. You can replace '3rd world countries' to anything else you like.

VAJ is an IDE for Java and it's also a RAD tools. Professional version for Linux is available and you can download community version for free.
Note that VisualAge IDE is not only for Java only. It has VA for C++, Smalltalk, etc.

DotCom Guy, yet another fucked company.
Dear CNet,
CNET's decision: Mac OS X
What do you mean by that?
I thought we are always friends. I know you've taken efforts to make us win on "Interfaces" part.
But I'm not satisfied. You know that.
Can't you be more unethical?
You can kiss my future first-hand Microsoft news goodbye, sucker.
Yours master,

Will this pass the in-law test? I mean, does it keep my in-law from messing with my computer?
I used to use RPN calculator in college to keep dumb guys from borrowing it.

P.S. all % accumulative, per license.
If they do, RMS will bust them to change name to GNU/Sourceforge.
In fact many startups buy laptops+replicator/docking station to replace normal desktops, to faciliate high mobility and save space.
:)
It also make it easier for them to pack their stuffs when their company go under.
and break AOL apart if you want it back.
I'm sure Bill will not do public demo for XBus as he has already learn his lesson last time
