It's ironic that Microsoft provides that service for free, whereas Linux requires paying money.
um, Redhat is free. unless you WANT to pay for a subscription. the only downside to the 'free' version of a subscription, are the 2 month intervaled, 5 question, questionnaire, which continues one's subscription.
Is it too much to hope that our public officials will realize the potential for corruption
me thinks you not thinks too much. if everyone is for sale, how does anyone protest that the vote is fixed?
simple: im paid an extra $10000 to look the other way. this allows me to finish the deck(finally!) or, renovate the kitchen, put sally through school, or just pay off some debts...
buy the right people, and you have the situation the Americans find themselves in.
yeah, like FREE Health Care, a government with no long history of corruption, and the actual ability to speak out minds without being called a terrorist.
you now know what you must do --- overthrow the government. rise up people!! rise up!! rise... _yawns_ where are the potato chips....cnn is on....
The whole point of the issue is that we do not want a "standard" rammed down our throats.
i agree. who actually gives a damn if LInux takes Windows on the Desktop? I for one could really give a hoot, cause I use Linux everyday, and besides the odd quirk here and there, I am able to do exactly what I want with it.
it may sound a bit "selfish", but I don't give a damn about converting the world. It makes me (and obviously all of you) very happy that it is open, relatively easy to use, and just plain geeky.
paves the way to have video cameras mounted in every car
In other news: The UK government has decided that every British home will now be equiped with a video Camera to monitor the movements of its inhabitants, to ensure their personal safety. If people, in their own homes decide to make dangerous accusations towards other family members, they will be fined. Any heresy towards the current government in control, will NOT be tolerated, and will end up in a prison term, or the equivalent community service.
Be not fooled, citizens! This is for your own safety.
the continued reporting of how our rights as consumers are being eroded
you think this is bad -- take a look at your rights as a citizen of the USA, and tell me that you still have all those basic rights....(dept homeland security ring a bell?)
when is the revolution? please post to slashdot, so that a Canadian version of CNN can cover 'the ground breaking news'. (that is, ofcourse, if CNN goes off the air).
until somebody got their Windows laptop infected at home and brought it to work
true -- but hopefully the sysadmin that knows about packetfilters, also knows about keeping their systems current with patches. (yes, i will continue to dream.)
what university do you attend that got the beat down?? U of T??? Silly Admins...time to get some experience for those CompSci majors--fire them.
true, any admin that doesn't know about packet filter firewalls should be fired... --- but imagine when they catch the clown who spread/made the virus...he/she might be locked up for a while...
the problem with the automatic updates, is that the funcitonality of software could change overnight, depending on who makes the changes. maybe Microsoft decides one evening that they don't like having a 'Start' button, and decide, for the good of the world, that it will now say 'Stop', and will be in the upper left corner, instead of lower left....
the point is -- no one could stop it, and would be stuck with the change, even if the change wasn't desired or warranted....
Slashdot Mirror
i'm starting to wonder if this whole SCO stupidness is going to turn into the largest April Fool's joke, ever.
cause damn, i can't help but wonder what the hell they are thinking....

where is the 'new' linux hangout??
Is anyone going to listen to Ford?
with the current state of Ford Vehicles...I'd say No.
Microsoft is officially Found On Road Dead. ;-)
as roadkill
or as in deadman's road?
linux is in BIG trouble if it relies on Mouse Clicking Solutions Experts to implement Linux solutions.
Or, I'm sure SCO has 7 large... Have you paid SCO $699 to run this?
one better:

i agree
i wouldnt remember my login either, if i was posting a story like this to slashdot....
a complete waste of time.
you mean the Monty Python movie, right?
whoops...you're right...a virus, not a parasite...
it was Maynard Keenan that spoke of humans as a parasite -- (if i now recall correctly...)
i think it was called The Matrix
i believe 'Agent Smith' referred to us as "Parasites". (are parasites a bacterium?)
-- Am I downloading IP, or am I downloading free speech?

you people were crying for them to go after the individual pirates, instead of the technology that facilitates the piracy.
the irony in your statements (if you look hard enough, you can see it too!) is that you post as anonymous cowherd.
and enough talk of hard earned cash. the money you spend on a cd doesnt go to the guy earning his keep. it goes to the music Cartel, aka the RIAA.

for what it is worth, just my 2 cents.

or the ip address changes
....
hate to nitpick (or is it knitpick?), but this doesn't matter does it? especially if the code uses the hostname...
infact, when I was learning about NTP(date) a little while back -- i found a few pages detailing Wisonsin's Uni as a good sync for your time....
makes one wonder if the guys at Netgear read the same pages...and hardcoded it in
hmmmm/.
Can't we just give these guys a break?
