Slashdot used to copy stories off of Ars within hours of them being posted. Now it takes days. Unless their excuse is that it was related to the power outage
i see.... and here, i thought you bought your ID off of ebay....;)
and, if you can't blame the blackout, who can you blame??
maybe im missing something here...but don't most people backup their stuff?
i mean, all the posts here are about how insecure FSF is, or OPensource sucks...or windows sucks more...
what about the bloody principle of backing up your own software? let me guess, stallman and his crew has ONE FTP server, and they never back the bloody thing up? they should all be punished for such foolishness. nobody in a corporation would allow this...what would have happened if the harddrive crashed, or the raid crashed hard on that FTP ser4ver? the same thing!!! asking the world for MD5 sums...
tsk tsk.
oh, and I use OPen Source just about everywhere, except my workstation (manditory windows). I run a chrooted Wu-FTPD, never had too much trouble either...but, we have a tape backup, just incase...
I believe this to be true, in the 90's and into the 00's, but lately, have you seen J.Lo's ass? holy smokes! her ass is big(ger), and it is SUHWEET!
you may see the trend slide towards a plumper bum...as it gains popularity....mainly because in the Carribean, and South America it is already the trend....
i agree with your statement to some extent...you won't be downing a server to run some silly tools that you can run on the server...
but, if you are a "security consultant", you simply need to show up, on-site with your mini-cd, and proclaim that all matters will be quickly resolved...as soon as you comandeer the secretary's pc..... (and quickly reboot it.)..... i dunno.

how long before someone complains that all the bloody Americans think about is their own fscking homeland security, and the terrorists that don't exist.
of course, not with redhat. my original post was to say, lets get this stupid case over with(ibm) and leave this clown in the dust, with his money losing company...
these are all valid points.. and I understand that it is 100% Volunteer work, but my point was this: if i decide to write some really buggy/shaky code, and submit it, will it be included? probably not...
so ofcourse, it is 100% voluteer work, but, the decisions of what to include, and what not include of ALL of the volunteered work, has to be done by someone....
now, i have no idea of what 'actually' goes down with the GNOME or Ximian projects...if I did, I'd probably not be posting on slashdot...
but, inregard to Novell-- they would start to also 'Volunteer' their code, and their code would(or may) take precedence over other code...and thus, providing the direction. again i claim to not know anything - -im just offering a hypothesis to the situation (so dont flame me)
Is the direction and control not in the hands of those supplying the code ?
good question. is all of the code that is submitted to GNOME, used in the project? or, are there some regulations, some stuff that is cut, some 'direction' given by someone? ofcourse, Novell will run 'control' and 'direction' simply by stating what goes into the final product (of Ximian products)...that and paying Miguel De Icaza to keep him onside....
there are many answers to this question (of which i know none), but the one that forks in my mind is the actual 'control' of the future 'direction'. This will be used for Novell, and their purposes (which happens to be 'making money'). That in itself should be worth the dollars that were spent...
i could have sworn that 2 weeks ago, here on this very same slashdot....there was a story about HomeLand Security securing a very large purchase from Microsoft....aka 100 million, or some outrageous number like that..
isn't this a bit irresponsible of them, now that they are declaring Windows a vulnerability?
haven't you heard? Slashdot is really the control freaks of 1984, and infact, those aren't spelling mistakes.... they're the new Slashdotspeak, and watchout...cause 'they know where you click...'
is link bash_history to/dev/null i understand your point, but to leave.bash_history the way it is, allows for an admin to see if anyone has compromised security, no?
capitalists love to push schemes like privatisation of drinking water
so then you'd be happy to learn that the American Capitalists are lobbying very hard for Canada to Privatize its water supply, thus forcing a continuous supply for Americans, based on the NAFTA agreement....(Canada would be forced to sell water, no matter the circumstance)
bloody politicians in America....if i had my way, i tell them all to go fsck their hard drives.

maybe i missed something, but isnt the problem with an ftp server? and probably one that was not chrooted??
what the hell does this have to do with apache? IIS has a an ftp module...ofcourse..and it IS laughable...
so what gives? whad I miss?
is the parent just an i D 10 T?

Most books out there go from Java *to* C#, not the other way around.
buddy, all you have to do is read this book from finish to start...and you will have the desired effect....
whose job it is to come up with these stupid acronyms?
funny you should mention this...when i first read the headline - - i thought it was TLA, Three Letter Acronyms...
and somehow they were going to be sharing Florida's version.....

its amazing the FUD that this clown CEO spreads. Its time to go to court, to shut this clown, and his clown conspirators up.
Redhat is doing a bit of justice for linux in general....
Is the direction and control not in the hands of those supplying the code ?
good question. is all of the code that is submitted to GNOME, used in the project? or, are there some regulations, some stuff that is cut, some 'direction' given by someone? ofcourse, Novell will run 'control' and 'direction' simply by stating what goes into the final product (of Ximian products)...that and paying Miguel De Icaza to keep him onside....
So what did Novell actually purchase ?
there are many answers to this question (of which i know none), but the one that forks in my mind is the actual 'control' of the future 'direction'. This will be used for Novell, and their purposes (which happens to be 'making money'). That in itself should be worth the dollars that were spent...
not to mention the dent this should put into Micorsoft's low end server sales...
(and more market share for Linux)
who in their right mind would place a windows server in an environment, when linux(novell) is a choice?
so what do we call this, Novell's GNU/Linux?, or Novell/GNU/Linux, GNU/Linux + Novell NDS? better yet GNU/Linux/NDS...
...the mother of all conspiracy theories....
i wonder if you watched a helluva lot of star trek when you were a kid....(or maybe Bill Nye the Science Guy, you really seem to like worms.)

BC (Canada) currently sells power to California.
east which is right next door. So you don't have to go very far
its still quite a distance away...its not like its around the corner at the quickie mart --ie a few hundred to thousands kilometres away...
