Smallville and its spinoffs should be the the least of your worries. Try being CSI'd (Straight CSI or the Miami version) or Law and Order'd (comes in regular, Criminal Intent, and Special Victims Unit grades) to death.
Whoops, caught in the hype, I will watch all of those shows.
Wow that is old. Lets see... Not what I am running now but have seen:
486SX25 DEC LPV25 I swapped a DX2-66 Cyrix. Ran fine as a router using OpenBSD Up until 2 months ago when I placed I Compaq Prosignia Pentium 90 in its place with 2 10/100 NICs.
Used to own a 386 DX 33 that had one of those proprietary memory cards expandable only to 4megs of RAM.
186 3Mhz yanked from an old acer altos
186 Later seen as a caching VLB ATA IDE controller
68HC11 and 6809 I built for class projects, just recently tossed cause I'm in the midst of moving
Old Gandalf half duplex modems.. or were they routers? I hated those things.
Commodore 64. I haven't seen it in ages, but the best game for that was PARADRIOD.
Not just venture capitalists! Chances are likely that everyone who has an RRSP or RESP run and managed by any and all banks are likely involved (in the SCO stock price jump).
SCO's hot air is filling up a balloon, who knows when it is going to burst...
Bah. The guy should have thought collect royalties. For every picture of/insert name here/ on the net I want $10.. no wait $100, this is advertising, right? Make it $10,000...
Gates to McBride: "Here boy, here! Sit, Mcbride. Good boy. See that big, meaty bone over there?" Points to Linux. "Yeah? You do, don't you? Go get it boy, go get it! Rrrrip it apart!!
I left wondering if they really have a claim to it. Isn't it possible, for two different people, come up with the same exact solution to a problem?
It has already proven to happen in our world's history: as seen in the invention of the jet "... As it did for two men, Frank Whittle and the young German physicist Hans-Joachim Pabst von Ohain, who, with out knowing about each others work, came up with the same design at around the same time..."
Who said it had to be in the Kernel? The article just says Linux. For example, perhaps 1/2 of the code in the linux version of the shell program. Not a likely possibility, but used to illistrate there are other programs distributed with linux might have SysV code.
Really though, it makes one wonder how much "standard pratice" when programming in "C" (or any other language for that matter) or even "prior art" they are attempting to claim copyright.
... If they could only convince all those 14-year-old kids to spend millions of dollars each on CDs instead of just downloading the same songs via Kazaa...
I don't know about you, but if I couldn't have the average popular song for free, I certainly would not pay for it. I'd spend my hard earned cash on more important things, like junk food.
A better question is: Why don't we have a hardware developer developing exclusively for open source software? The answer to that question is, IMHO, putting it quite flatly: is $money$. Although at the same token there is no reason why such a hardware developer can't write a Windows driver too.
Perhaps, unless apart of the genetic engineering process was to make the animal sterile, such as in the case of GE fish.
Purdue University scientists, in a new report, say with certainty, that contamination of the wild salmon gene pool with the genetically engineered (GE) fish genes would be fatal to the salmon species. GE fish have a mating advantage over the wild species due to their larger size. However, these prolific GE fish do not produce many viable offspring, and the next generation is less likely to survive to reproductive maturity. The result is a stark decline in population size. It would only take a handful of these GE fish released into the ocean to potentially destroy entire populations of wild fish.
Good lord, they are covering up *again*. They covered themselves up when in the DoJ trial. They covered up the Dr DOS Fiasco. They covered up the fact they thought DOOM was a threat in the OS market. Now they are hiding NTFS and drive letters under a SQL engine. Whats next? That Bill Gates no longer runs Microsoft?!
When pf was in 3.0 -current, it wasn't ready for prime time. 3.1 -stable was alot better, lacked a few features, but way better. I (could be wrong , but I) am of the belief that they've added (not fixed) features since 3.2, and it is awesome.
I'm using a 3.3 snapshot from March @ my small organization's 60pc firewall -- one as a bridge protecting my w2k server, the other as 3nic internet/nat+squid/dmz firewall -- both machines are utilizing altq to aggregate traffic nicely, on 64meg 166Mhz pentium classics no less. Squid tends to make my *uptime* pop over 1.00 once and awhile, but before I added squid the machine never broke a sweat.
I played with linux's ipchains, and couldn't get used to the syntax ipchains required. I've used OpenBSD since 2.8, first with ipfilter (forced me to learn global string searching in vi), and gladly moved to pf. The macros and variable expansion simplify the configuration process considerably (my pf.conf is 217 lines long - macros, tcp options, altq, redirects and finally filters - all with adequate spacing and comments), and resetting the rules (likely other firewalling tools have this too) without losing state.
Please, don't hesitate to order 3.3 when it is released, or at least check out pf in either FreeBSD or OpenBSD.
I agree. But have you ever heard of "wrappers"? If graphics card companies can wrap OpenGL commands into the DirectX counterparts, then you bet Microsoft can hack GUI calls from the command line.
If the United States is going to continue the "War on Terrorism", they are going to have to tighten their budget - and that means the axe for unessential programs. I hate it as much as the next guy, but I left wondering how many other good programmes/initiatives have suffered?
Hehe I spent a good evening once hooking my VCR up to my Windows box to sound record wav's taking my favourite comments from Arnie's "Total Recall", and a couple of other good movies, my favourite from "Total Recall" being:
"What the f*ck did I do wrong?!?!"
Or the way you could pound on the sound key...
The build app for maps was easy to use too. I built my house, the street and down the road where my friend lived. Never did get back to filling up his place/w furniture though.
I've got an OpenBSD router on a Cyrix 486 DX2-66/w 40 Megs of RAM. OpenBSD -current (without X) fits on 175MB without me having to "wittle" down anything.
The idea here is NOT to launch a full blown resource hoggin' MTA, but fire back the spam in one quick simple blow before it reaches one (full blown resource hoggin' MTA, that is).
Better yet, why not build into each next deep space probe a communication relay. The closest one to earth can send loud and clear message from the farest one away.

Can we classify Kingdom Hospital as science fiction?
SCO to IBM: "All your code are belong to us"
It's dead? Then how come I'm slurping a Win98 image from a local intranet FTP using a BSD tool called Ghost4Unix?

Because humans are imperfect, the software humans write will be imperfect too.
Sadly, the software patent battle highlighted here and here might halt further development of such great ideas, ideas such as Knoppix.

Those with three eyes.... uhm, never mind.
... need to have their heads examined at the cost of $2,097.
What he means is those with three eyes
Yes.. the devil you know verses the devil you don't. Might as well be buddies on the surface if your in it for the long haul.
You mean ipfw, see the Personal Firewall heading on this page.
If they switched pf, I sure hope that they update their product information soon and contribute to the project by purchasing a cd.
is that linux is being damaged right now.
Exactly what Microsoft wants.
