...and yet, just like the OpenMoko FreeRunner (giant opaque SMedia Glamo blob meant 2d VESA grade graphics only) and the OLPC XO-1 (giant opaque Marvell blob meant the whole WiFi subsystem and "mesh-while asleep" was all a black box and driver couldn't be troubleshot) , all the software is "open" yet obfuscated
Hmm. Google search came up with this deviantart for "Raspberry Blob", maybe this can be the project's mascot. Hooray for undocumented blobs, we don't need source code, maybe we'll get Windows CE for it someday!
For those business sites like Asus or HP, I've begun filing ADA (american disabilities act) complaints that the websites are no accessible to disabled users
Who exactly are you filing the complaints with?
It seems that there is at least a settled class-action suit (NFB v. Target 2006) (with no judgement entered to set precedent) , are there any cases that went to judgment for website accessibility?
Perhaps (in the same way that Apple chose to reject the complex Mozilla codebase and went with KHTML to design WebKit), a project like Nouveau (is there a similar ATI from-scratch driver effort?) could produce stable, auditable graphics drivers that will run 3D graphics on modern hardware at speed.
Maye some company can subcontract the OpenBSD dev teams to do it.:)
It is nice that these utilities are part of a growing amount of open source.NET code (like Apache's efforts helped grow F/LOSS software for Java).
That said, those who want to support a Q&A community running on Free code can look at:
Remember, you're in the equivalent position to a traffic controller who just put in a new feature controlling the flow of morning traffic during everyone's drive to work. Your work, if done, right, doesn't show up to anyone at all.
What surprised me is that slashdot, hacker news, and reddit are all not participating, but FARK.com is running fine if you have ipv6-only.
Linus isn't the only copyright holder on the kernel. It's shared amongst several dozen (hundreds/thousands) of contributors - all of whom obtained the right to it via the license terms, and have shared their contributions under those same license terms.
You -might- respond to J-Random-Kernel-Contributor's action against you by combing through the code and removing only that individual's copyrighted contributions, but you'd be open to all the others at that point.

SIMTEL. Keith Peterson was a customer of the ISP I worked at in Metro Detroit back in 1994, and when he called in and I fanboy'ed him he was pretty surprised.:-)
I would like to take this moment to give a shout out to T-Mobile, which actually offers a bring your own phone plan for less than the subsidize your phone plan.
Can you provide more details on this / links to pricing?
Space fans find it convenient to be able to pop open a piece of code from seven different places, six of which don't have their personal preferences set (likely - 2-space indentation), and have the code render right each time.
The default behavior of 8-spaces-per-tab in so many places makes it likely that something 4 layers deep will be shoved clear off the right edge of the window, or badly wordwrapped, wrecking the layout, but if tabs are thrown out altogether, the spaces-based indentation appears consistent and predictable, whether using Wordpad on a manager's machine to edit a file pulled via web out of version-control, using vi on a remote build VM that's being used to test different compiler settings, or your own tweaked-to-your-liking visual studio or GVim setup.
Wow. That's the first OCW link I've seen where click Syllabus doesn't take you to an expensive-as-hell textbook you need to follow the material. I'm impressed.
Wow, this sounds fantastic! Instead of using Ubuntu with OpenOffice from the repos, and paying Canonical for support, or, say, being able to pay *ANYONE* for support, since I have the full source...
I can be locked into paying IBM for support for all the proprietary binaries! What a great idea!
You might try (1) using twisted pair instead of zip line to your speakers and (2) using ferrite bead clamps, a few turns wrapped around both ends of the speaker cable. But it probably won't help, as it's likely your speakers internal amplifier is picking up the signals directly, as they're cheaply made (see TOA) and poorly shielded.
What will twisted pair do ? Doesn't twisted pair only protect against interference when you have a balanced line with opposite voltages going down each wire?

The entire Raspberry Pi depends on a gigantic proprietary blob from Broadcom.

If you could restore your neck from backup, and configure it properly afterwards, sure, why not?

Have you ever smirked at a Linux server machine that is still running X and six virtual consoles?
Have you ever sat at a Sun SPARC server that has flubbed the console tty, and doesn't have other ones that you can switch to?
Definitely. (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/, Wikipedia entry, and Girl Genius Wiki @ wikia)

This is why you don't use simple passwords.
You use an epic passpoem, detailing the life and works of seven mythical Norse heroes.
The original recording by Daniel Malmedahl that became the "Crazy Frog" ringtone would be best. :-)

Grandparent is a whippersnapper.
twm + xterm work fine over X11-over-compressed-SSH on dialup PPP links on a 28.8 modem.
You'd think these people had never had to install their OS on a 9600bps serial link on an 80x25 screen with no cursor control.

WHY did you have to remind me of the $400 I wasted on that OpenMoko ;_;
I myself am pretty impartial, but here's a guess:

Ah.
Looking at the article, (and having skimmed but not read all of the patent), isn't AntiSniff (released by DilDog of L0pht in 1999) using this technique? (Slashdot article, Aug '99)
Original tech paper was on l0pht.com (now defunct) - looks like archive.org doesn't have a mirror, here's the best copy I could find in Google: http://servv89pn0aj.sn.sourcedns.com/~gbpprorg/l0pht/antisniff/tech-paper.html
