Does anyone actually run SuSE Linux outside of Europe?
To be honest and not make it a flame, I have no idea. I tried it. I dropped the 80 bucks for the Pro 8.0 release. It lasted about a week on my machine...
I use Gentoo now. I used (and still promote to the n00bs) MDK because the ease of use thing (and I used it for a few years so I can help them out if they get stuck). I had a bad expirence with SuSE, and I know I'm not the only one. I have a few e-friends spread around the globe and they've had the same "glowing" reports I have...
Post to alt.os.linux
Me: Yea, I have (an older...) MDK installed on one of my servers here. I have Gentoo on a couple others. I use Gentoo at home (and I have MDK 9.1 on a machie for testing). Just use urpmi to get the updates you need and you'll be good.

I'm assuming you meant that there's no way to stop IE6 SP-1 from installing AutoUpdate services on your boxes?
Yea, that's all I was saying.
Thank you for your other post, though. You sent my mind in a direction or two I hadn't *really* known about (I knew the options were there, but hadn't found enough to go on (or time for that matter... - long story)).
But yes, that's all I was saying. IE6-SP1 force-feeds you the update stuff. People still just don't even go that far...:-\
It really didn't concern me until one day when I was checking the logs on my Mac OS X box while developing a web app and discovered dozens of entries from all over the globe probing my box to see if it was an insecure IIS server.
I think that pretty much sums it up - IIS can easily be insecure, just like the rest of the Windows world. But why does that mean that the Mac's web server (Apache) should be a cause for concern?
This part had me stumpped too. He was able to "watch" his box trying to be gotten into and the requests were being denied. He was able to CHECK HIS LOGS! THE REQUESTS WERE BEING DENIED! (I'm sorry to yell, but...) That's a good part of the point of all this *NIX retoric of ours, I thought...
Since you probably didn't read some of the comments, as others have pointed out, these exact comments (and even some source) are in the public domained Unix 7 code, as well as old BSD code
You, sir, need to get your head examined. You're thrying make sense and post truthful statements on slashdot...
You can do this with any Win* box that's running IE6-SP1 (with the latest updates). This stuff is installed for you (and no, I haven't noticed an option to stop it from doing so - I'm the admin of a 75 or so MS Shop).
I love to see real competition in any market. Perhaps this will be the start of real competition in office suites.
What do you consider "REAL"? We already have StarOffice, OpenOffice, KOffice, this WPS Office, Corel's stuff (not terribly viable anymore, but...), etc.
There already IS a "REAL" competition. Have you not tried the other things that are already out there?
I'm not trying to take the thunder away from your posting, but, there has been other stuff out there for a while now. This is not a "start", this is just more fuel for the fire.
(ok, I have to show off my geekness here (and the fact that I have a 4 year old that has watched all 5 movies movies more times than I have since they were new (I'm almost 30) in only the couple years here's been watching them)).
and then again with han and chewie this strike happening much later (therfore not from the same group that came at the begining of the movie)
True and a very good point, but in any story, things can happen at the same time, but you need to explain them since without a split screen, you have to go backwards and forwards a lot. Perhaps while we see the scene of the probe shooting out is when Luke was out on his patrol. It was later on when the probe homed in on the Rebel's Main powersource, is when Chewie and Han blasted the damn thing (thus Han and Chewie getting theere so fast - the thing was real close). They ran into it a good little while after Luke got nailed by the Snow Creature thing (the name I honestly forget). The probe had plenty of time to get closer for investigation.
I mean, the AT-ATs knew exactly where to go. Perhaps the communication that 3PO couldn't interperet was the transmission of the coordinates of the Master Power Generator of the Rebel Base.
I could also be thinking too much about it, though...
:-)
What were the odds of a single drone happpening upon the rebel base on an entire planet?
Do a couple orbits around the planets in a system scanning for the strongest power source and start there. We are never really told how long the probes had been out there, But we can assume a good little while because of teh time that had passed between New Hope and Empire. Also we don't really know how close the Star Destroyer fleet was to Hoth on top of that. It's quite probable that they got a bit lucky.

Explain to me why it's OK for it to be allowed to broadcast or listen to anything other than (for instance) 10.10.*.* or 192.168.*.* Explain to me why you'd want to braodcast or linsten on a range greater than those.

you gentoo types are just unbelievable.
OK, so we REALLY like it. Sue me. I use the source, Luke.

Is your ex-girlfriend a ghost?

It is rather hard for even us slashdotters to consider the relationship between us and our monitors "a girl friend".

You can do this already with Windows XP

It has the options to download and install
Let me point one thing out:
It has the options to download and install
The option to do this. They are talking about removing that option unless you specifically let it do so rather than tell it to do so.
The editors do it so what's the problem?
(I hate to do this since I'd rather let people figure out your joke on their own, but I have to know...)
That's the reboot sys call, right? It's been a good few years since my C=64 days.
That's almost funny.
:-)
You can also link straight to the the processor itself as seen in the TV commercials.
Yea, I actually get out enough from time to time to watch TV (at the bar...).
I'm just outside Philly.
Heh...

If you're on vacation, WTF are you doing on slashdot?!?!

(Thanx for info!)
so what are they spending all that money on?
First Class seats on planes to various countries to convince them to keep buying their products...
How can the internet hit 100% perfect in an (esential) instant?!?
I subited it as a story, but it was rejected. Something going on out there and it doesn't look good.

I work at a company with a large number of Linux servers in the data center.
Hey! You hiring?!? I'd like to get away from being a Win* Admin...
Anyone thinking about putting a Win2K box on without MS03-026, and running a packet sniffer to grab IPs?
Sure I was thinking about that. Let's use YOUR network for it...
