Sure, so its theology. I'm a capitalist - why? It works better than anything else I've seen (and I've seen socialism/communism/dictatorship/apartheid etc)
If my tax dollars fund research I don't want a viral software license atttached to the results - I'd rather have a "you have to pay the govt to use this" license which, hopefully will recover some of my tax dollars.
All resources are limited, including time, money is a good way of rationing out things.
This is such total bullshit. Windows 2000 makes use of an openly defined as extensible field called authdata, defined in the Kerberos specification for authorization data, as do other Kerberos implementations. Windows 2000 inserts Windows credentials into this field, which is used to determine access rights within the network.
The interop issues that people who've never set up a Kerberos infrastructure in their lives are between all pre RFC-1510 implementations and V5.
I think MS were forced into this by an impending DoJ investigation - sad as it robs Corel of the investment.
This may be a sign that MS care less about Linux than they used to - perhaps they are even abandoning a possible dot net port to Linux given the fact that Linus seems to be tanking at the moment - so this is doubly sad as it would have been nice to have a decent bridge between the two environments.
Or <insert conspiracy theory here> Was it because MS had "sucked them dry" - yeah right, and Bill Gates hides under my bed in the dark just waiting for me to go to sleep to jump out and suck my blood as well....
The choice to be anonymous - riiigght - even if offered I would not believe it. Look at how credit card usage, mobile phone usage, automated car plate tracking, town-centre cameras and automatic face recognition are all creeping in to track us.
Won't be long now before we're cursing Emmanuel Goldstein and the TV doesn't have an off switch.
OK - when did you last spend money on pr0n - riiiight....
The CD/MP3 thing s different as there is a bandwidth issue for most people and MP3 quality sucks, even at 128 encoding rates. (WMA codecs are better tho') - also there is the cd-art pleasure of the real thing.
Libraries pay a rate to authors based on how often their books are borrowed (at least in the UK), given you are only borrowing the book this seems fair. Note that photocopying the book, even a library book is not allowed.
I bow to Heinlein "TANSTAAFL" - there aint no such thing as a free lunch......I have found this to be true.
The math in the reference reminds me of the work IBM did (in Haifa, Israel) back in the early days of SNA. They were concerned with peer-to-peer networking of "hundreds" of devices without the ministrations of a front end processor.
Scaling was achieved by adaptive routing tables that could deliver packet fanout for broadcast traffic to prevent storming
1. 1/30 @pp13 sux0rs 2da M@X!
2. 1/40 So now fix the shitty one button mouse
3. 1/20 Now maybe they'll oem their hardware and port OSX to Intel
4. 1/10 BSD doesn't go well with peanut butter
5. Not in (14) - who's rich enuff to use Apple anyway?
6. Not in 10-30 - Are they advertising the job?
7. 1/1 - how can they ever ship another product, I for one will be using my Lisa for landfill
What I heard was that the arbitrating Judge (Posner) said that MS & DoJ gave a lot of ground and the case was very close to being settled until the State's AG's got their egos in the way.
I hate hack reporting jobs - maybe he should have taken a bit more time to research before writing his book?
Of any serious developer who doesn't code their GUI to be fully scriptable.
This one area where I think that MS has done a pretty good job - most of their apps come with an OLE automation model that allows programmatic access to the same functions exposed by the GUI.
Note that this is more than driving the GUI with some kind of fake console (a la OS/2 HLLAPI; or VM/SP POP) - issue with these is a glitch in the GUI normally shags your app......
Its more complex than you make out. Insurance relies on actuarial statistics that analyze probabilities within large populations and allow the companies to add the Vegas "vig" to make money playing the odds. They compete on the quality of their stats and the amount of vig charged.
It's fair in that all the rubes (us) subsidize each other - all very socialist.
But if Vegas could spot the people who were going to win they would bar them from the game (and they do this to card counters etc already)
-->Insider knowledge (on either side) disrupts the process - If insurance companies are allowed to act on this then we create an uninsurable class and if people are allowed to load up/avoid getting insurance based on their own knowledge of test results this is also unfair.
Looks like we've opened another Pandora's box and the rules are going to have to change...
I think this is a sad story, and I don't think it reflects on mistakes by Suse or flaws in the Linux community model. There is no doubt in my mind that a "free" o/s coupled with super good support (problem & consultancy) staffed with people who contribute to the code base is a viable model. Look at the KPMG/Andersens of the world, they don't even sell software and they make shedloads of money.
Just unfortunate that those trying to be ahead of the curve are being burnt by the rapid evaporation of venture capital (the leading edge is the bleeding edge).
Anyway - good luck to all laid off I actually don't think you'll find it hard to get a good job - keep the faith!

Please don't just regurgitate urban myth.
Interesting, "he is a registered Linux user" - so Linux use is now a sex-crime? Gets more Orwellian every day.
errm, as far as I know Linus isn't tanking, (unless he got drafted recently...)

Well said, Allchin trolled, Hemos bit & flamebaited us.
Isn't anyone getting a little bit bored with this type of post (happens about.5 times a day here)

And typically, no mention of this on the MS security site - when are those guys goung to catch up with the modern world?

Agree, Compaq released a dual Superdisk/fast-floppy drive in 98 and I don't recall seeing anyone use it (and we were a Compaq shop).
