I probably don't have a clear idea on what passport is or does. I also don't like MS. I also don't have a clear idea on what.NET is or hailstorm either. I also don't understand the difference between SAN and NAS. I went the MS website to try and understand these things and google and could not come up with a clear answer. It is all just PR and marketing speak to me.
Why do we need alternatives to this crap if we are all alive and kicking without them before they were invented?
Just FYI but you don't HAVE to compile everything, you can install using rpm and stuff.
I am curious, what dependency problems did you have? Was it using portage? I have not had any problems... it just downloads the dependencies and away we compile
run #emerge kde && emerge gnome before you go to sleep, hopefully by the time you get home from work/school it will be done.
bootstrap took a lot longer than emerge system did. I really like Gentoo, I just installed it 5 days ago on my laptop. I just wish there was a better X config with it and I wish (not Gentoo specific) my soundcard had better support. It is a compaq laptop and a SoundMAX soundcard. I had to download a patched.c file and recompile the kernel to get my sound working in Mandrake. I wonder if I will have to do that again for Gentoo and this newer kernel.
SSL and SSH are not encryption algorithms. They use encryption algorithms like blowfish, des, rijndael (AES), twofish, etc. but are merely protocols themselves.
However with linux, if you were to go to the source, Linus, pronounced by finnish it would be 'leenis' for Linus and 'leenix' for linux. To pronounce Linux 'lynn-ux' would mean you pronounce Linus as 'lynn-us'. Is that how you do it?
I personally say, call it whatever you like or 'ly-kee'
Are you saying we don't have poor poverty stricken people in the USA? Are you saying we have true capitalisim here? Are you saying we have true democracy here?
So do you blindly follow any law regardless of how asinine they are? There is an over 100 year old state law in Minnesota that roughly sums up to, "you can not cross the state border with a chicken on your head." Some of these laws are stupid and are created/controlled by small amounts of people (not congress) to make sure they (not the artists) make as much money as possible.
I do not believe in Intellectual Property, property reresents tangible material THINGS. The whole notion of IP is just scary, you can own an idea. What if I come up with an identical idea as someone else who came up with it previously. I had no prior knowledge of this other person or their idea. They copyright or patent it. Then what? I put in a lot of my own time to be screwed when I had no intention of stealing anything.
If you believe in IP than you must think computers represent pure evil? Computers are all about copying data (including songs, programs, pictures, or any other data). I don't mind if/when people copy the software code I have written (or future code) because that is what I believe in, sharing ideas. With new technology and paradigms there needs to become an adaption or change of laws, not a strict enforcement of previous laws. The Minnesota law above ment something at some time in the past, obviously there is probably not much point in it anymore.
If you can't develop a new business model to adapt, don't blame consumers. There are ways to succeed, using new models. Look at Bon Jovi's attempt. I guess if you expect people with computers not to copy things you need a reality check.
Why is this person amazed all that data can fit onto a card? I mean really, didn't the original (NES) cartridges weigh about the same as an average card? Plus the cartridges had all that extra plastic to give it size and shape. Seems like going to a card is little more than trivial.
I want to see all the NES/SEGA games put onto one device (maybe using emulation?) like my TI-89 calculator or something. YEAH, mindless 8-bit games to waste my time on.
Tell me what he "stole" again? Did companies lose anything physical? Did he sneak into a distribution warehouse and walk off with a crate of CDs, handing them out on the street? Software IMO opinion should not be viewed as tangible, because it is not. I think it should be viewed as speech or ideas; it is impossible to STEAL ideas, only share and communicate them which is what he did.
I think working a warez ring, although shouldn't be illegal based on above logic, does rub companies, and therefore the U.S. Government, the wrong way causing a lot of potential effort as the government feels pressure to satisfy the companies demands to punish, kill, maim, whatever it is they want I suppose.
The reason the most businesses want a Cisco firewall is that the CFO/CIO don't want to get nailed by auditors for running a "freeware" firewall. They want a big name to cover their asses. The Freesco/BSD/IPtables combos will do just fine for your educational purposes.
First BSD and Linux are not freeware. Second, they choose Cisco because they are a huge major market and their products power massive amounts of internet backbone. Cisco has a giant marketing department just like Microsoft. There is something called "brand name recognition" that companies use like: Nike, Coke, Kelloggs, Gap, Microsoft, etc. These companies want you to be comfortable pushing others to get their products. Also, there are a lot more people who are trained in Cisco products because a lot of colleges offer training in Cisco but not BSD, only some are just starting Linux. CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, CCDA, CCDP, CCPASJHFASH there are all these fancy sounding certifications for Cisco alone, hmm, no wonder these managers pick Cisco.
BTW a BSD box with 166mhz and 32 or 64 megs of RAM could super easily handle a (wussy) T1 line.
I found the same conclusion to be rather unpleasant myself. I hate commercials with a passion. I feel like they attempt to dumb people down because they portray the things they are selling as something they're not; ie, trucks/suvs driving over mountains, mt dew making you drive a badass car off a ramp corkscrewing thru the air to get your can, etc. How many people use their $30,000 SUV to drive off road with the chance of damaging it badly (probably flipping over because they have a high center of balance), then your tires explode, your cell phone doesn't work because you don't have coverage, etc etc. I think these items aren't even all that good anyway. Selling horribly unnecessary things to Americans... is this patriotic, forcing us, by calling it patriotic, to buy this wasteful crap to fill up the landfills faster?
I say piss on all commercials TV and Radio. I don't watch/listen to commercial tv/radio anymore. NPR claim to be commercial free radio, then they play a commercial. WTF? Community supported should be the only way to go for two reasons. 1) You pay for what you like only. 2) NO censorship, no influence from Disney or Clearchannel because they don't own all of the stations along with only 2 other companies. Go pacaifica.org
I feel sorry for everyone who wastes all these hundreds of dollars on products and services to watch commercial riddled and censored tv programming. This whole aspect of American Life makes me wanna vomit up all the crappy pizza, horrible carbonated piss, and vile deep fried flesh in a bun with processed cheese and soggy lettuce.
Sounds like your problem is more yourself than anything else. Don't fall victim to media hype or stupid "computer geek's" hype. Maybe you need to read reviews and see what other people say before you rush into a *brand new* product. tomshardware.com is a great hardware review site. I like via chipsets and have never had problems with them before. I also like Soyo motherboards. I have had 3 soyos, and my friends/family have a combined total of 6 soyo dragon motherboards. That is the kind of info you want/need before you spend major money. I will never ever use Intel again. I do my research on quality, speed, scalability and manufacturer. Would you buy a car from me if I told you it could accelerate more quickly than any other car out there?
I totally agree with you plus, who the hell really cares?? How is this "Stuff that matters"? And how is it NEWS? You want to blow your money and time on crap that is most incredibly unnecessary, fine; leave me out of it. Urge... to slit... my wrists... increasing...
Too bad I quit drinking caffeine going on a year ago now. Hmmm... now I forgot why I quit, oh well.
Actually, I found it very surprising all the things that have caffeine in them. Over half of all pop, chocolate, tea, excedrin, coffee/cappuccino yogurt, etc. (I never ate that kind of yogurt before though.)
Just a quick and dirty follow-up, he was not at the TCBUG meeting. And maybe I could take some pictures of him that looked nice and clear. I have access to a nice 3.1 gigapixel camera and it could blow away his apparently $.50 camera. What dirty pictures he has, how could someone sell a camera that sucks as bad as his??? I did notice he was taking a lot of pictures with the camera facing the light on the ceiling.
Of course I notice that July 2, 02 is when the majority of these took place. Hmmmm... popular exploit is found in a program that everyone has enabled (probably everyone has SSHD enabled). Slow, unimformed, uncarring sysadmins don't know or dont care to patch their systems. From Feb 11, 2000 to July 1, 2002 (over 2 years) there are only about 1/10 of the defacements. Not bad I would say. This doesn't prove much about OpenBSD except that there are some incompetent admins using it.
What maintainers are you talking about that have said that OpenBSD is a system that needs no attention once it is up and running? If anyone installs any operating system, they should be aware of insecurites. It doesn't matter that one OS seems to have slightly more or less MARKETING as being secure; if you buy or use a product based on marketing, you deserve what you get. I don't recall any of the OpenBSD maintainers claiming their OS is so good you will not ever be hacked. If the admins don't upkeep their system, they will be exploited.
HAHAHA... this is like 25 minutes from my house, maybe I should drive over there and wait for him and take some pictures and post them online and send them to the Mike A, and maybe one to the kid himself with a link to the story about how he *hacked*(snickering) a honeypot. There could be a ton of fun with this. HA... plus in a few hours I am going to the TC BSD User Group meeting. I wonder if his momma is gonna drop him off there...:) I will be looking for you Mason Elmore a.k.a. OmegaKidd

I am having a hard time determining if you are sarcastic or not??
I am not sure about WinXP but Win2K for sure uses FreeBSD tcp/ip network code.
I think it is properly pronounced 'guh-nu'

At Universal Studios I saw a T-1million. It was very impressive and something you mess with, unless of course you are Arnold and have a shotgun.

Why not go directly to the source? Of course here is an explanation of them all.
