Now boys, let us not get overly excited. What does this meen. Is this server only or is it desktop too? If it is server only it isn't really that big a deal, a bit sparse on details.
To follow the true path to space you must not be mislead by false hippocracy such as this eBay conspiracy. The true path lies in pioneering. Look at the golden carrot from the x-prize and true seekers of enlightment such as the armadillos and the canadian arrow. True pioneers to space.
... is the hard and brutal way. Buy some easy Linux distros (Mandrake or perhaps RedHat) then send all employees away to learn about using Linux. If they are depending on the haunting.doc format run Office through Wine. The special windows software should either be run through Wine or in an emulator such as VMware (although this would require a separate Windows license.) Get some geeks/gurus to work on making Wine working near perfect.
Whatever you chose professional training and a support deal with the distro manufacturer.
With the rise of KDE3, increased user friendlyness and "simple" distros such as Mandrake and Lindows. Do you belive the development of Linux and the open source comunity would be harmed in any way, if Linux ever became mainstream?
If this is what you want then figure out how you're going to break into the realm of Microsoft. Because Linux is there, my mother uses Linux and she doesn't know a thing about it, just that it beats her Windows system. Just wrap up a working system for people and they'll accept anything that doesn't interfere with their regular business. Todays KDE and Gnome are easy to use, everyone can figure out KMail, and Konq is as easy to use as My Computer. Just bullet-proof the system with a few restore scripts and don't give them their root password and everything will be fine. Just put Linux on a machine and sell it and see if they complain. (Put a Windows wallpaper on and see if they even notices the difference)
We all agree that terrorism is bad and that it should be fought. But we, the techies, hackers, geeks, doesn't agree with the governments how it should be fought. We belive that everybody has a right to privacy. So here's one solution. Let them track us and profile us. In airports and on the Internet. Just give them guidlines on how.
Imagine you enter an airport, now a computer has tagged an id to your creditcard, cellphone a.s. and tracks this id. This id would not be stored in a database but simply in an in memory map linking your id to what you've done. Then should it match a terrorist profile the computer would then try to identify you after having been cleared by a security officer reviewing the data collected. Your data would otherwise expire and be deleted after you'd left the airport. The law could require that such systems don't have hard-drives, but boots the OS from a ROM, and that there doesn't excist any method for retrieving data that isn't associated with potential threats.
You are missing the point. Try uninstalling Internet Explorer. It will kill you're windows installation. Sure KDE defaults Konqueror, but my installation didn't go bananas when I desided to switch to Nautilus (konq crashes my X.) Bundeled middleware is not a problem either, it's uninstallable.
If someone should be able to knock out all these root servers, zone-files and the major DNS's in the world the net would still excist. In the days to follow such a thing hackers would start running DNS-servers, searching logs and reconstruct the domains. Following weeks governments world wide would have reconstructed the net on more solid bandwidth.
YES, just figure out how to transport the heat energy from your CPU - some sort of heat pump - to an installation allowing water to boil. You should not underestimate the energy the CPU emits.
Other useful areas are: * Hack it to become a car media player with full featured video and dvd player.
- Why: it would fit easily in a car. Fun. Games possible.
- How: embedd small LCD's into the back of the seats.
* Controll device for robots.
- Why: robots are cool. Easy to program. Cheap CPU-power.
- How: simple relay control using the FireWire, USB or serial interfaces.
* Use it for anything you'd like:
- Why: it's a regular computer. Computers aren't tools. Tools are built for a purpose and purpose means you're locked at a target. Hammers are used to hammer nails, kettles; to cook potatos in, computers; to do anything.
I suspect that most "Opt-In" mailing lists are derived from people who click through an online service agreement without reading the whole thing or the privacy policy.
If that's the case then it's not opting in, it's opting out. As far as I've noticed, websites now ask you to opt-in (click that box) and by clicking through these online service agreements without reading it you would actually most likely opt-out. Or - more correctly - not opt-in. I belive this opt-in policy came after a lawsuit or a new spam law, but I cant remember.
Why don't the airforce look at the self. When choosing their systems they must have been aware about the major security riscs Microsoft products hav a history of having. They must have known that their excists ten's-of-thousands viruses targeted at the Windows operating system. They must also have known that in the war against the viruses the crackers have got the element of suprise. They must also have known that Microsoft products are - by crackers - looked at as unreasonable easy systems to break into. Is this information I'm sitting on some kind of secret or is there another reason the US Air Force did choose to base their framework on Microsoft.
I would dare to say that the airforce has been misleaded. Maybe they overlooked alternatives - like Linux - because there wasn't a big organization behind or maybe they were swayed by something else. Is it now too late for them to change their systems or is there still hope for their security? How can they ever be sure that Microsoft has secured their systems?
If someone is planning on going into business, having a passion for Linux, wanting to make money on Linux software get some pros to deal with the money and marketing. Linux software is not an impossible market to conquer, but it's hard. It's like learning how to hack; don't jump right into the Linux kernel, leave that to Linus and Alan Cox the first few years. The ideal thing (for business ) would be to get Bill Gates - the evil of business himself - to run your company.
This is no loss.
1. Home users have time to build and install their own systems.
2. Regular Linux users never buy prebuilt computers.
3. People interesting in learning Linux are also plausible to build their own system.
4. Joe Ordinary considering Linux will also consider having his friend - Joe Geek - build and set up a Linux box as his desktop machine.
In otherwords, people considering Linux don't turn to HP.
A little digression: how would Joe Ordinary react if his new PC didn't come with Windows, but with Linux? He just ordered a PC assuming it ran Windows.
Do you keep anything private at SourceForge. No. Do you keep all project info on their servers or are they just a mirror to others. Yes (to the latter.) Would it kill you to reenter your name and wait for a mail? No. Sure, having your account deleted is annoying, but then again; what is time? Free as SourceForge.
This site and this guy claims to support free speach. But - being somewhat of an anarchist - he forgets that free speach doesn't mean that everything everyone says about anything to anybody should be free and up for grabs. Cracking is never right, nor is breaking the law. But then again, he's an anarchist who will go to jail for his acts, not his thoughts/belives. like he claims he will.
Regarding the FBI raid, they must be high on something themself. 2 officers with handguns and a solid kick on the door would probably have been more appropriate.
I must admit, apple knows computer design, but that's about how far I'd go. I'll newer buy an out-of-the-box-computer (specially not a proprietary like the iMac) and I'll therefor miss out on some neet out-of-the-box-cabinets and that's a shame. I won't claime to care about design that much, I'm really pretty ignorant, but the iMac looks cool. Why can't companies like AOpen start making some smart-solution, smart-looking cabinets?
What I'm worry about is this phrasing:... the Framework will be available on most systems. This means Mono, which means Linux, which is bad. Today there's round 20 or 30 known viruses on the Linux platform, 20000-30000 on the windows platform. Although a more rapid spread of won't give MS an edge it sertainly won't hurt them.

MS is in fact trying to stop Lindows. MS's lawyers aren't dumb so they've chosen to go forth with the lawsuit that's most likely to stick.
Lindows is a small company and should they be struck (hard) by a MS lawsuit it would efficiently be the end of business for them.
Plain and simple. What's your take on piracy and acceptable means to fight it?
With the rise of KDE3, increased user friendlyness and "simple" distros such as Mandrake and Lindows. Do you belive the development of Linux and the open source comunity would be harmed in any way, if Linux ever became mainstream?
