I JUST finished migrating our server to a Verio VPS.
One thing to watch out for is that the DSO's for the Verio VPS Apache servers don't seem to be kept up to date, although their Apache is kept up as are their other main packages (major domo, mysql, postgresql, etc).
Their copy of mod_auth_pgsql dates back to March 2000 and has a SQL injection vulnerability documented in CERT. When I brought this to the attention of their support they not only couldn't keep straight PgSQL and MySQL, they didn't seem to really care about it. I also tried to be considerate and use the email support, but it can take 2-3 days to get a reply, where as on the phone you can get hold of someone within 10-15 minutes (even if they're really almost no help at all and don't understand more than basic system maintenance).
The GOOD news is that they do let you build your own software, so I was able to build my own PHP (I needed mnogosearch support which they didn't provide), so I built my own mod_auth_pgsql as well. Building your own packages in their environment can be "challenging". It took me 3 days to get OpenSSL to compile into PHP (needed tof PKI crypto), and none of your directories are included in their library path. Also they use an older / oddly restricted version of Apache-SSL, not mod_ssl so they couldn't do some of the things I needed to do, like do smart card authentication.
I couldn't find the version on their Apache-SSL but some of the newer Apache-SSL directives weren't recognized, so they may be using an older version of that as well, and that may present a buffer overflow vulnerability as well.
I read your link, it would have been better titled:
The US And Britain Are Denounced by Iran (A Moslem run country that sponsors terrorism), Iraq (A Moslem run country that was trounced in the Gulf war), and a Syrian (Take a guess here: a Moslem run country that also sponsors terrorism) Housewife.
Somehow just not as exciting is it?
Incidentally, my wife is a first generation American from Syria, so you can well imagine I have exposure to a great many more viewpoints than the Daily News publishes. The USA is just the latest in a long line of countries to get a taste of violent Muslim fanatacism.
I can top that. I admin the email servers for Gotcha (the sportswear company).
There's a lot of people out there filling in webforms with @gotcha.com email addresses, and it's amazing how many even valid email lists don't honor 550's
You are also incorrect about the GPL. The GPL doesn't just require you to make the source available, it requires you to allow the binaries to be copied as many times as you want. This only applies to the GPL part of Caldera's distribution. They can put whatever license they want on their own binaries.
You're mistaken as well.
The GPL does require you to provide source on request to anyone you distribute your binary to.
It does not require you to make it available for download.
It amazes me how computer people like Taco always think they're smarter than Joe Average. It's ironic that they can't even follow the simplest plot elements:
It wasn't Julianne Moore's and David Duchovny's characters that went way back. They just met in the movie.
TED LEVINE's characer and David Duchovny's character went way back. They were at the Pentagon together.
Emeril is too nice of a guy to put into a competition. He'd do the pork fat thing/bam/have an ice cream thing and the judges would have to vote for him out of sheer goodwill:)
Alton would be good, but the limited show venue wouldn't give him enough time to change outfits or build his own stove out of raw materials
Your first statement was valid and made a lot of sense.
THEN you said:
"Second, there are man[y] servers which have a ton of virtual hosts on them, each with their own IP. A server could have 20 or 30 or more IP's assigned to it, there's no way to know. Furthermore, a server could have multiple NIC's, assiging different virtual hosts to different NIC's, making it even harder to figure out."
How is this at all relevant to the question?
He's trying to count visitors to his site, not sites on the web; and most visitors don't surf from their vhost accounts (most visitors don't HAVE vhost accounts to surf from.)
To pick a nit, load balancers may move IP's on Vhosts around, but I don't believe having multiple NIC's would affect the IP's that a server sits on - they would remain static.
There are such programs. However you need to read up on Trusted Audio Path. Trusted Audio Path uses only digitally signed drivers for copyrighted audio.

May I turn your attention to the fact some areas of our planet are becomming unfit to life because of complete ozone layer depletion? It's actually the case in Terra del Fuego, at the southern tip of South America. By getting outside unprotected you get third-degree burn in less than seven minutes. Organic life isn't possible without the ozone layer.[sic]

I spent five years with a system integrator building RAID systems.
We started off with Mylex and eventually had to stop using them due to deteriorating quality of the boards.
Krow is dead on. Mylex is junk.
Linus Torvalds isn't at war with Microsoft.
The Linux Zealots are at war with Microsoft. Linux makes a great server for me. I only rarely use it as a Desktop and it's very painful.

Agreed
Heck, I'M sick of RMS's shit, and I all have to do is read about him in the webzines.
Your argument would be powerful except the foundation of your logic is based on a false premise.
I thought everyone already knew by now that Linus Torvalds didn't name Linux after himself.
Someone else named it after him.

Not a huge suprise here since the original angel investor from Landmark who funded Red Hat is also the angel investor who funded Great Bridge.
In their own words. They're looking to do for databases what Red Hat did for Linux.
Given all of that, is it really any surprise?
