What would be so critical that you need to open two connections to the same host at the exact same time? Open one, then open another if you need to.
You may have a point for a workstation, but if you are on a server and wish to open a port on another server, you may need to do that at the same time. For example, if your webserver runs an app that needs to talk to your database server, it will need to knock to open a port. It may need to make several connections at once during busy times of the day. This will need to be addressed.
Yes, but if they had a list of say 1,000 addresses of people who are known to buy spamvertized products on a regular basis the [profit per e-mail] part of your equation would go up dramatically. Probably even enough to say:
1,000,000 * [profit per e-mail of bad list] < 1,000 * [profit per e-mail of good list]
I only see it in the spammers best interest to remove people who don't want spam, but then again I'm not a moron.
...if you really want an impressive portfolio just download a bunch of user created mods from the Internet and claim them as yours. Then spend the time you saved by not exercising your creative abilities to design a kick ass resume. When word gets out, and the real authors complain that you stole their work, hire a lawyer and sue. Hey it worked for me!!!
You must be younger than me (33) because the Technic sets back when I was young were called "Expert Builder" not Technic. Technic came later. But they still have the Technic series. When I was about 11 I got a Lego car that I believe was a model of the workings of a VW Bug (Not sure, but it was still cool). This year, I got a Technic remote control car for X-mas. Made me feel like a kid again. I would really like to see Lego get more into this kind of thing rather than the Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc. Those things can pretty much only be built one way. Thus, a toy that was once mind expanding has become limiting.
In an effort to improve the quality of literary works, the International Wordsmiths Association has determined that the words "International" and "Intentional" will from now on have the same meaning. Therefore, you may now call them the Intentional Wordsmiths Association or the International Wordsmiths Association with the same degree of accuracy. (What this degree is has yet to be determined.) The IWA has determined this to be the first step in a series of 3 steps (and the number of the steps shall be 3) in which all words will be shortened to "Bruce" Oh, except of course for those words that are shorter than "Bruce", which instead will be lengthened to "Bruce". Oh right, and any words that have the same number of letters as "Bruce" will simply be changed to "Bruce".
Totally off topic, but your "dead-tree" news made me think. Will anthropologists 2000 years from now call that rolled up newspaper used to smack some poor dog on the nose a "dead-tree-scroll"?
Maybe I misunderstood something, but my understanding of the article was that it would block traffic that had a payload containing a virus. In other words, the router would periodically get a set of virus definitions, and scan all traffic. It would then only allow clean (non virus def matching) traffic through. I would imagine the overhead of such a system to be astronomical, but then again we are talking about Cisco routers, so that may not be a problem. I didn't get anything about blocking specific ports.
If you couldn't send code-samples, or study exploits anymore, you probably also couldn't download virus definition updates. I don't think that the anti-virus companies would agree to that since the updates are where they make their money.
Actually, it just happens to be that when they got the map of the universe, all the astronomers were lost (most of them were men back then). They refused to ask directions, and decided that since Dwayne had spent time in the Army during WWI that he would be the most qualified to determine which way to read the map. Unfortunately, Dwayne was dyslexic, and had the map upside-down. The rest is just history. (Actually, that part was history too (If I hadn't just made it all up)).
It was probably forseeable that BSD and/or Linux would impact the market for SysV on x86.
I think you are not taking into account that SCO isn't going after Novell because they wrote Linux to compete. Nor are they going after Linux in general with the anti-compete clause. They are simply saying Novell is violating the agreement that Novell and SCO entered into. If Novell was buying Sun Microsystems instead of SuSE, they would have the same argument.
The problem for SCO will be if SuSE Linux is being purchased, not in order to get the OS, but rather to get the developer talent to make the Novell Groupware products work more effectively on Linux.
Novell could easily just give the SuSE OS away and then say, if you want to have Groupware run on Linux, it better be SuSE. Oh, and by the way, if you do use SuSE, you will also get the most integrated support from our X-Ximian product line (whatever they decide to name that).
I would think that $200M would be a great investment if they can pull off taking some of their market share back from Microsoft. Remember, Novell used to be the top dog in the market.

Carter may or may not have been a failure as President (I am not giving an opinion) but he has definitly been a success since then, raising a lot of awareness about Habitat for Humanity. Read more if you are interrested.

I can see the universe's largest bubblegum bubble now.
I guess Guiness will have to expand their records to include outerspace!!!
Sorry, I was just attempting to be funny. Guess I failed!
A really obscure cryptography salt.
Unfortunately, some minor sh extensions are still available to bash when you run it as /bin/sh
/bin/sh..." but I could be wrong.
I think you meant to say, "...some minor bash extensions are still available to bash when you run it as
Extra points for anyone younger than 30 who can prove they actually know DCL.
Shoot, I'd give extra points for anyone younger than 30 that actually knows what a sleestak is!
I read that as "score port".com...
Thought it might be a sports page.
Well, feel free to use it as a sports page once SCO dies and you're left with a domain name without a purpose.
Shouldn't be long now.
I can see it now. Companies will send out spam advertising their competition in order to drive them out of business with huge fines.

The Title would be "Apple Jacks"...
That explains why she is so air-headed! Her mind is probably full of them.
I just wonder how many /.ers listen to the news and will get this one.
Yeah, everyone knows what a Stetson is.

You saw that too. It pissed me right off.
Hey Commander, I hear they make taco's in Mexico!!!
