The two OS's are stuck in a viscous cycle of developers
I for one would hate to be caught in a viscous cycle!

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Viscous \Vis"cous\, a. [L. viscosus. See {Viscid}.]
Adhesive or sticky, and having a ropy or glutinous
consistency; viscid; glutinous; clammy; tenacious; as, a
viscous juice. -- {Vis"cous*ness}, n.
Note: There is no well-defined distinction in meaning between
viscous and viscid.
From WordNet (r) 1.7 [wn]:
viscous
adj 1: having a relatively high resistance to flow [syn: {syrupy}]
2: having the properties of glue [syn: {gluey}, {glutinous}, {gummy},
{mucilaginous}, {pasty}, {sticky}, {viscid}]
Well Indeed. And allegedly the Automagic commercial skip was broken anyway, causing portions of the show to be lost anyway.
This is not true. The ad skip feature would only advance on playback, not record, so the commercials were kept on the hard drive. You could turn this feature on and off with the remote control as well.
I believe you will get benefits using mosix and apache. If the daemon spawns multiple processes, like apache does, then mosix can pass the child processes on to other boxes running mosix.
She's got sense enough to use a sploit, but she chooses a feeble password like Z1ON0101. Come ON, Trin, only 2 character classes, only 8 characters ? -sigh-
Unless your unix system is using MD5 passwords, it will only accept 8 chars max. And it is not like she is trying to choose a secure password, she is hacking the box, not locking it down. jeez..
Huh? I've never heard this claim from anyone but Eric Raymond, and wannabe hackers having read too much in that "dictionary" of his. Please tell me of a respectable english language etymologist with the same stubborn view.
It should be quite noticeable by now, that "hacker" has been used of computer criminals for at least 15 years, both in mainstream media, and lot's of other places. To insist that it really means something else, is as stupid as insisting that "mouse" does not mean that thingy you move the pointer around the screen with, but in reality is a small rodent.
I believe you are mistaken. The term hacker has _always_ been defined as a computer expert or someone who is extremely adept at computer use. The derogatory term came about later. See below for actual definitions.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Hacker \Hack"er\, n.
One who, or that which, hacks. Specifically: A cutting
instrument for making notches; esp., one used for notching
pine trees in collecting turpentine; a hack.
From WordNet (r) 1.7 [wn]:
hacker
n 1: someone who plays golf poorly
2: a programmer for whom computing is its own reward; may enjoy
the challenge of breaking into other computers
3: one who works hard at boring tasks [syn: {hack}, {drudge}]
From Jargon File (4.3.0, 30 APR 2001) [jargon]:
hacker n. [originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe] 1. A
person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how
to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to
learn only the minimum necessary. 2. One who programs enthusiastically
(even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing
about programming. 3. A person capable of appreciating {hack value}. 4.
A person who is good at programming quickly. 5. An expert at a
particular program, or one who frequently does work using it or on it;
as in `a Unix hacker'. (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and
people who fit them congregate.) 6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind.
One might be an astronomy hacker, for example. 7. One who enjoys the
intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing
limitations. 8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover
sensitive information by poking around. Hence `password hacker',
`network hacker'. The correct term for this sense is {cracker}.
The term `hacker' also tends to connote membership in the global
community defined by the net (see {the network} and {Internet address}).
For discussion of some of the basics of this culture, see the How To
Become A Hacker (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html ) FAQ.
It also implies that the person described is seen to subscribe to some
version of the hacker ethic (see {hacker ethic}).
It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to describe
oneself that way. Hackers consider themselves something of an elite (a
meritocracy based on ability), though one to which new members are
gladly welcome. There is thus a certain ego satisfaction to be had in
identifying yourself as a hacker (but if you claim to be one and are
not, you'll quickly be labeled {bogus}). See also {geek}, {wannabee}.
This term seems to have been first adopted as a badge in the 1960s by
the hacker culture surrounding TMRC and the MIT AI Lab. We have a report
that it was used in a sense close to this entry's by teenage radio hams
and electronics tinkerers in the mid-1950s.

OS stands for Operating System. Hence, a whole system, and not just the kernel. Debian is not the same operating system as red hat, even though they both run the linux kernel.

decimate (in senses 1 & 2), fr. decimus tenth. See
{Decimal}.]
1. To take the tenth part of; to tithe. --Johnson.
2. To select by lot and punish with death every tenth man of;
as, to decimate a regiment as a punishment for mutiny.
--Macaulay.
3. To destroy a considerable part of; as, to decimate an army
in battle; to decimate a people by disease.
From WordNet (r) 1.7 [wn]:
decimate
v : kill in large numbers; "the plague wiped out an entire
population" [syn: {eliminate}, {annihilate}, {extinguish},
{eradicate}, {wipe out}, {carry off}]
this is a reply I received from Nancy Pelosi after writing her regarding the CARP proposal:
Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the royalty fees for webcasters that were recommended by the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP). I appreciate hearing from you.
As you know, on February 20, 2002, CARP released its recommended royalty fees for webcasters. The rate for Internet transmissions and for retransmission of a performance in an AM/FM radio broadcast was recommended to be set at $.14 per performance. On May 21, 2002, the Librarian of Congress issued an order rejecting the CARP recommendation, and on June 20, 2002 the Librarian of Congress set the rates at $.07 per performance. Rates for noncommercial broadcasters as well as the fee webcasters and broadcasters must pay for the making of ephemeral recordings were decreased from the CARP recommendation.
When Congress passed DMCA, our intention was that artists and copyright holders be fairly paid for commercial uses of their work, while webcasters though the Internet would be able to provide competitive programming of value to consumers. Congress intended the statutory license process to be fair and efficient, so that the webcast industry could be free of legal uncertainty, grow quickly and pay creators increasing amounts as the industry developed.
As these rates go into effect for webcasters, please be assured that I will be watching this issue carefully. Thank you again for taking the time to express your views on this important subject. I hope you will continue to communicate with me on matters of concern to you.
I worked for a company that had 2 racks there. We moved all of our equipment from exodus to above.net, and every several months we would get a frantic call from exodus saying our machines were down! This happened half a dozen times, and each time we told them we had moved our boxes, and followed up with an email. The first time it happened it was funny, the next few times it was a little ridiculous.
If the company I am working for is using an open source solution, and I make improvements to the software on company time, should I be able to then contribute my changes?

iptables is the userspace tool that uses netfilter, not IPfilter.
I thought that the GNU in GNU/linux stood for Gnu's not unix.
You did not mention what platform, so:
# apt-get install abcde
I thought that according to the FHS that /opt is for add on software packages, and that /usr/local is for installing software locally.
I worked for a company that had 2 racks there. We moved all of our equipment from exodus to above.net, and every several months we would get a frantic call from exodus saying our machines were down! This happened half a dozen times, and each time we told them we had moved our boxes, and followed up with an email. The first time it happened it was funny, the next few times it was a little ridiculous.
I would love to give my money to the artists. I am just sick of the record companies keeping most of it! They are a bunch of crooks!
