Oh yeah, like every manufacturer of x86 boards is suddenly going to use Microsoft-endorsed BIOSs from Pheonix. Riiiiight. I'd be surprised if any manufacturer wanted to be caught with that stigma save for the extremely low end (cheap) or special purpose equipment.
2. Read the page. It has instructions on how to make it work.
3. The easiest way to get it to work would be to save the page source to your computer and open the local copy. Voila! No more page referral
Or you could just sign up for an account so you don't have to go through that rigamarole each time.:D
> I use GNNU/Linux in a day to day basis, it feeds me and my family, it gives us a roof, it has helped me pay for theschool of my sons and the car we just bought.
I love GNU/Linux as much as the next guy and it also provides me with income, but are you suggesting you couldn't have had these things without GNU/Linux? Or did I miss some hefty sarcasm? I suppose the Insightful mod could be taken either way, but I would have modded it Funny.
It's a cold Wisconsin winter for those who live in a house made from likes of gcc and gawk!
All joking aside, I too am greatful for open source and free software.
I've gotten quite a few in my Yahoo/SBC account. What amazes me is that Yahoo has a Norton file scanner that you can run on files, but you have to manually. If you don't run it, you'd never know it was infected with a virus and it lets you happily download/execute the file!
If they have Norton and Norton knows it's infected, WHY DOES IT LET ME DOWNLOAD THE FILE!? At the very least you could argue that I still want to download it and try to disinfect it myself. Fine, but it would be nice if it would at least tell novices the damn file is infected!
And while I'm at it, who in their right mind runs a computer connected to the Internet without decent AV software and a firewall?! Apparently over 1.5 million people I guess.
I'm not worried about your systems, I worried about the careless admins with unpatched boxes. It seems like this makes it so easy to:
1. Pick an exploit on your favorite security site. 2. Write a script that scans the Internet for boxes running the service and version that match the exploit. 3. Initiate exploit when match is found.
At least with anonymous versions, the attacker wasn't necessarily sure what he was up against (or had to work a little harder for it).
What are the people going to say? Technically, the individuals in the lawsuit *did* break the law as it is (assuming the evidence that the RIAA has is true). With this country run by corporations, it seems unlikely that "the people" will get legislation passed that makes it okay or less of an offense to infringe on copyright.
I'm sure there are no politicians that get funding from big media, either...
I'm not sure the RIAA cares about their image. In fact, they're getting paid to take the punches for the music industry. The RIAA looks bad for suing the media industry's computers while the big media companies can just point the finger.
> When reporters visited teh apartment last night, Brianna - who her mom says is an honors student - was helping her brother with his homework.
I couldn't help but feel the author included this line about the "honors student" as a bit of humor, the word "teh" and all... Like being an honors student, of which everyone's kid is one and like it makes a big deal when you're 12, make you exempt from breaking the law or being ignorant.
Awww, she was helping her brother. I guess that means they can let her off the hook but not the other defendants who may or may not have been equally as ignorant. This story reaks of sensationalism.
> That's not right. There would be if you started your own.
Sad. Why is that my only option? I'm not interested in "starting my own", I just want quality broadband when I need it. I'd sooner subscribe to a T1 business line than start my own ISP.
Start your own ISP? Riiiight... Only requires capital, technical skills, employees, leased lines (where you pay the bills whether you have customers this month or not) and a high level of self-loathing and masochistic tendencies.
I'm going to go build my own automobile because I'm tired of paying advertising fees to automobile companies who are trying to out-do each other in how much they can spend during the super-bowl to make the nation aware that "Ford" is better than "Chevy" and that "Saturn", as a company, does indeed exist.
Great, let's make the net a perfect place for your mom and Dad and make it painfully limited for the rest of us. It's only a matter of time before you can't download your favorite distro because your "excessive bandwidth usage" has triggered some worm-detecting or traffic shaping script that will throttle you into oblivion.
> And how can you demand people to learn computer security if you think it's excessive to require you to opt-out from the isp firewall?
I didn't see an opt list mentioned in the article anywhere? Also, if you average huge ISP implemented this, what are the chances they would offer an opt-out option? Why should they? You either choose our crappy service or their crappy service, both of which have the blocked ports. Or worse, since residential customers don't "need these ports for standard Internet activities" (like the web or AIM), make you pay through the nose for a business account, which is the same crappy, unreliable, poorly supported connection you had before except it costs a helluva lot more but has your ports open.
> Since it agrees with grader scores +95% of the time, I think those simple indicators are actually pretty useful.
What about when the lazy teacher uses the device soley for grading and not for its "simply indicators". I guess tough luck to those poor saps that represent the 5% of innacuracy...:(
I like teachers having to read papers. It keeps them shorter. There is no reason a paper for some 3 credit class has to be 30 pages to get your point across. Although if a machine read it, you could probably bullshit more easily.
How about, "We're Microsoft, and we'll make you pay full retail for your Windows licenses unless you purchase your BIOS from a vendor who supports DRM."
Are you suggesting Linux doesn't exist on the desktop in the business sector, or are you suggesting it is insignificant? That hasn't stopped the "Our company just converted XXXX of our desktops to Linux" stories like this or this. Apparently HP doesn't think it is an insignificant number.
It's a business computer. It seems to me that businesses using dialup at the employee workstation is the exception, not the norm. HP doesn't necessarily care about supporting drivers for those businesses anyway as they are probably still using computers from the 1980's.
Maybe they figured businesses would want to load it their way or use their own images anyway? Since Mandrake is free, they figured including a CD would make a cute marketing bonus.
> Anyone who would be using Linux, at least in the USA, would just build thier own system
First of all, the d220 is aimed at business users, who want a warranty and generally don't build their own (as far as I've seen). I could also see clueless home users buying these at the advice of their pirate friend who would be happy to load Windows on it for free.

Netcraft seems to agree. I concede that they may be running Apache as well, however, but not primarily.
AOL doesn't run Apache, it runs AOLserver.

You can start with some of the addresses listed at the ROKSO.

Lame.
Maybe they could move to a free country that isn't afraid of the U.S.
Hmmm, and I'm sure that num=-1 parameter has nothing to do with it... ;)

Seems like you answered your own question to me.
"A powerful virus is running rampant through the world's computers throwing everything a-kilter, so the brass at the Pentagon is considering putting Skynet on line to combat the virus. Unlike the audience, they are unaware that Skynet itself is creating the virus."
I guess some people don't take a threat lying down, and SCO threatened that those who use Linux may be open to litigation.
