a java version would be JAAS ( Java Authentication and Autherization Service). see
http://java.sun.com/security/jaas/faq.html
This just happens to be a java version of PAM ( Pluggable Authentication Module) framework already built into Linux. It uses standards, such as X.509 certifacates.
But it is java, so why would anyone OpenSource want this, when they can be safe on Microsoft's lap?
good joke. However, water has a tendency to flow, and there is considerably more water in the oceans ( and in the atmosphere as vapour ) than could be held in place by damming projects. A greater effect is that of global warming melting the ice from the poles. This water will raise the water levels of the oceans, thus slightly increasing the earth's diameter. Using your skater analogy this will actually slow the earths rotation.
listen up little girl ( you are a girl since you have no penis! ) if you knew the answer, why not just show your knowledge rather than abusing the poor ignorant soul.
since you obviously didn't know the answer: A flywheel is a heavy wheel on a revolving shaft used to regulate machinery or accumulate power.
of course emails are allowed to be encrypted. if the email is encrypted the enforcement agencies can demand the key, and if you don supply it you are liable to a two year prison sentance ( this is the proposed RIP bill not yet an act of parliament)
well reasononed arguments here for using domocracy in a grown up way. Focussed lobbying is the way to go, and we should be using these methods whereever necessary, not spamming poor suckers who cant cope with the bandwidth.
1) if you only read a little, then read the final paragraph. in this the judge blasts the practices of MS. The rest o the document lays out very good supportive material.
2) this question is bad. Having monopoly power of itself is not illegal; the various abuses of this power should be, and in some cases are illegal.
3) I dont understand your point here, how could there be other non-punishment options ( possibly add : protect microsoft as a National treasure? [] ).
4) the judge has made a decision in that he has said that Microsoft is guilty of misusing monopoly power to the disadvantage of consumers, potential competitors, and innovation. The decision not made is over what form of punishment should be levied.
that final paragraph is:
412. Most harmful of all is the message that Microsoft's actions have conveyed to every enterprise with the potential to innovate in the computer industry. Through its conduvt toward Netscape,IBM,Compaq,Intel, and others, Microsoft has demonstraed tha it will use its prodigious market power and immense profits to harm any firm that insist on pursuing initiatives that could intensify competition against one of Microsoft's core products. Microsoft's past success in hurting such companies and stifling innovation deters invetment in technologies and businesses that exhibit the potential to threaten Microsoft. The ultimate result is that some of the innovations that would truly benefit consumers never occur for the sole reason that they do not coincide with Microsofts self-interest.

in about 3 minutes from the time I voted ( results on 3797 people 64.5% in favour of the decision ) there were nearly another 100 votes to 3873 people and 65.2% in favour.
moderated comments also affect your karma. but his Karma is going negative because his comment was a misleading lie, which is why the comment is already moderated down.
not really a conflict of interest, since the software component is built in house - and the books are authored elsewhere.
note that WebSite Pro only runs on NT/98/95 whereas Apache runs on whatever you can build it on. And O'Reilly use Solaris as the hardware for www.ora.com and linux.ora.com ( the latter is definately running Apache for the webserver, the former cannot be running website) and others check out Netcraft details for Ora sites.
Website Pro does look to be quite a nice product, and should displace IIS as a good sererver for these platforms (NT etc).
since all the machines are the same architecture and level of operating system, the answer is yes.
I have worked at many sites where this is done ( although I am now at a site that considers/usr/local to be node specific, and they use/usr/app for what you want). As the directory tree is for executavles the clients can mount the system read-only - cachefs can be used to improve performance. If different architechtures/op systems are involved this can still work, but the 'real' binaries are arrived at via script stubs which work out which binary is to be used.
you're right that it could be a firewall, else why does the current service look like its comming from a linux 2.0.x box? ( as seen at WTF is www.royal.gov.uk )
All the static pages have the suffix.htm so its could even be running windows95 for the weserver.
according to a feb 3rd, 1999 article at play.com his 'New York Times' column is syndicated throughout the United States as well as internationally. It appears in over 130 papers including the Chicago Tribune and Houston Chronicles.

i had to read this twice to realise that this message is, in fact, a wind-up.
but just in case others don't see the joke, can i make three points: i)I agree that OLE ( and for that matter activeX ) are not supported in the MS fashion; I'm not sure if you also meant to include COM and DCOM in your list of glue, or you deliberately left it out becuse of the known security issues..
ii) ODBC is generally supported on most Unices, and specifically on ODBC is available on most databases, as are the drivers, look in Freshmeat.net for a whole bunch of drivers to attach ODBC for perl, java, c, c++, etc. Is the MS ODBC different from the publicly defined version?
iii) CORBA is available, for client programs, on windows and NT; you really dont want to put an ORB on these platforms because you want some stability in the server for the broker. The easiest implementation is built into JAVA ( the standard SUN version and IBM's, maybe not MS's) - and c++ libraries are availbale also. I don't know if the CORBA orb is fully implemented on windows, but it is on NT, and also a simplistic ORB is available as a JAVA example somewhere. Other glues (un-like OLE) are available in the desktop including tooltalk, KDE/KOM and GNOME.
but there do remain some cases where MS office products remain the most appropriate, its just that MS can no longer just wash alternative platforms away with no thought.
no, as the previous reply said, escrow is unworkable. this merely makes it a criminal offence to not 'disclose the key which would make the message intelligable' to enforcement officers.
I'm sorry officer, I cant give you the key since the message is in plain text and is a paper on superstring theory; the only way it could be intelligable to you is you studied rather more math...;-)
The letter: segfault and userfriendly both received emails purporting to come from a legal entity representing the death star - the contents asking that any humour about the evil empire should cease immediately. debate hereabouts wondered at the legality of the message, as it was merely e- and not paper.

ok algorithms are not copyrighted, but they do get patented.
U.S. patent 4,405,829, which covers RSA encryption, has caused problems for opensource encryption for a decade.

as far as saying the evaluation period was over.
at least linux ran an application as well (Apache)

because he signed in ( as troll )
messages from logged in users start at 1, those from ACs score zero at the start.
sign in - its free, takes only seconds, and gives you that fair boost above those cowards.
