...and what makes you think we're not? To millions of people -- MILLIONS -- that's a legitimate and authentic story of how the human race started; across lines of race, religion, country and language; the genesis story is treated as the word of God.
Linux has been rock-solid from version 1. Version 3 isn't being planned yet.
Saying that linux is at version 2 is disingenuous at best. If you're going to play at that, let's start by saying that Linux (the OS) doesn't/do/ mail. Exchange (not an OS) would be competing against a variety of MTA and mailbox formats and protocols -- sendmail, qmail, postfix, exim, mbox, imap, pop3.
PS if you think anything running the linux kernel v 1.0 was rock-solid, chances are you weren't using it then (but you're welcome to rock it like it's 1994 again: here. NB that only single-cpu i386 machines need apply; nothing else was supported until 1.2 in 1995.)
In the US at least, there are rules and regulations about how low you can fly in what areas, it's not actually a totally no-holds barred free-for-all in the sky. This might work for urban areas, but it's totally out of the question for suburban areas and cities.
I wonder if you could legally set up landmines on private property. At the very least "WARNING: LANDMINE FIELD AHEAD" might give the google driver more pause than "PRIVATE PROPERTY".
That's why you have policies and agreements with your customers. "If you give us $_MONEY and the permission to do this, we promise we can do $_THING within $_TIME. If you do not want us to do things without asking you first, initial here and fill out this other form saying we're not liable for your equipment's fuckups."
sudo and visudo: learn it, love it. See this wiki page for a crash course on setting only some programs to be runable via sudo (...or man sudo). The wiki page is specifically directed at FreeBSD but sudo is sudo the world 'round. Regarding your problem where they used the password afterwards without asking you: why didn't you change it?
would be juniper's 5gt line -- they're around 300-500/USD retail but will certainly do QoS scheduling. I would be surprised if Cisco's pix 5xx series didn't do the same thing, but I have no personal experience with them as QoS devices so I can't say.
Where are you getting 13$ SSL certs? and more importantly, are their certs automagically included in IE/FFox (because if not, you might as well make your own CA and push your own root cert out to your users).
here's the answer to every question about people and security: "Because people are stupid."
You're welcome Bruce, thanks for your variation of the question.
presumably "where evil is defined by the people controlling our access to the market we are in" is the unspoken part. If they were told "insulting this saint/king/whatever is evil", I suppose they could rat the user out without moral qualm. Except for the "wrong guy" part. Oopsy.
The problem with abandoning the desktop, in my opinion, is that many new linux users are first exposed to Ubuntu. When they go to install a server they will then use either Ubuntu Server or Debian. RPM will be foreign to them.
That's a problem for RPM-based distros (RH and SuSE specifically) and for those promoting the LSB, but hardly a big deal. The alien package allows the use of rpms in debian (by converting them, or you can use bloat to convert from one to another) and you can always install rpms, but if you haven't seen the list of switches and options available to rpm in the command line, I suggest you check it out. It's like the Emacs of CLI package management programs. Not having it available in a user-oriented distribution like Ubuntu isn't a problem or a bad thing, it's common sense.
I don't believe you're giving the ISPs the credit due to them: something did change and that "something" was the QoS for p2p traffic in general and BitTorrent specifically. You may not like it, it's kind of an asshole move on the ISP's part(s), and in fact it may be illegal (depending on laws regard advertising and what was promised versus what was provided), but to pretend that this isn't a response to the very real problems you're pointing out is kind of silly. They had a problem and this was their solution.

And indeed suicide rates amongst rescue/medical/military/law enforcement personnel is higher than average.
dude, if you have to tell her that you did before she notices, you're doin' it wrong .

there's an orwellian fascism game in the works.
Put a barcode on it, you should be OK.
Douglas Adams' joke is our reality. Now all we need is a president with two heads...

I hope not, they still have my stapler!

Yes, but much later they found out about the speed that his doctor had prescribed to him.
Meh, I think River Tam Beats Everyone Up will be better.
corollary to "honest men have nothing to fear from the law" should be "honest government has nothing to fear from facts"
....so you renamed "anthrax" to "anal-cunt" and everyone was happy, right?

Send me a bill, to the attention of Todd Davis.

let's see if /. can confirm the poster's identity. After all, if google and yahoo are doing it, giving up users must be a good idea...
