It is not acceptible design for a device with a part that will wear out during the useful life of the device not having that part serviceable.
you should complain to any company that makes CRT monitors.
This type of incident does not bode well.
This type of incident is a flash in the pan. Smart people know how to get the part for lower than $30, and have already replaced it themselves. Apple already has a support policy for it. Newsflash! Some people not happy with some product! Film at Eleven! Get over it.
NetBSD's team is scary good. There are some advantages to keeping a tight core development team, and if the team is good, one of them is quality.
In my experience with NetBSD, when they do something, they do it right.
Let me put it to you this way.
Say there was this huge alien spaceship coming from outer space to blow up the white house and use us as food. We'd need to send a rag-tag group of crazy operating system geniuses up into space in a rocket to intercept them and upload a virus into their system (this would no doubt piss off the stiff-necks in the military, but the orders would no doubt come from up top). That rag-tag group of crazy OS geniuses would be the NetBSD team.
Mozilla/Firebird: Proxies aren't linked to the Mac OS network preferences. (You'd be amazed at how annoying that is when you're shuffling a laptop between work and home...)
It's doubly annoying since there's an obscure bug with squid transparent proxy/cacheing not working. With my squid server at work, it works fine. With the squid configuration that my ISP has, it's broken and I get nothing but timeouts. It works great with every other browser, though...:-(
Our staff receptionist was running an NEC 386 or 486 at work until earlier this summer, when I replaced it with a comparatively brand-spanking new NEC pentium 100mhz running IBM's DOS (6.2?). The superintendent had me replace it because it looked too damn old.
I had to scavenge to get a compatible disk drive to copy the contents of the hard drive out. The box is needed as a lookup terminal for our switchboard phone.
There was about a centimeter of dust on the inside; a picture is available to any interested. you can get it by emailing me at overbom at nospam please yahoo dot com if you're interested in seeing what 15+ years of dust looks like.:-)
Would you rather pay a bunch of money for an encumbered proprietary tool or get an approximately equivalent unencumbered tool for close to free? I don't see how MS can defend itself in this battle.
Well... microsoft has more lawyers than SCO, and more money, too. If they can make Linux cost more $$, they've won. I'm guessing that's how M$ will (is) defend (ing) itself.
Kudos [...] For releasing under the BSD license and not GNU
Actually, the game content is released under the GPL. The game engine is BSD.
If you ask me, that's the better way to do it. For anyone that purchased this game (if it was ever available, that is), this means that anyone that continues to support it can release game patches, etc, and subsequent games with the associated content are GPL as well. Viva la revolucion!
However, anyone that decides that they like the game engine can take it and run with it. Viva la... you get it.
and then there's H.O.T., one of the chip cooling technologies that's going into the G5 when IBM moves to the.09 micron process (along with SSDOI). When that happens, we can look forward to a perfectly suitable laptop processor.
You should listen to this guy. Setting up Nagios (formerly netsaint) with MRTG and webalizer is everything your customers need. It's a cinch to set up, and will take but a few days of time.
It's obviously a service your customers want. It doesn't go down your network pipe, since all of the monitoring happens on your ethernet network. Firewall the monitoring service, but offer the same service *for free*, and you'll gain at least two things.
the adoration of your users, and you'll get the asshat monitoring service out of your business.
oh, by the way, check your DNS server to ensure that it's not allowing unwanted zone transfers.

it's waaaay better than what diebold is doing, but you still have the problem with vote-selling.
all that it would mean is that the person that's selling their vote would have to give out their ssn.

I believe they prefer to be called free radicals.
not only that, but I believe that the inheritors of USL are prevented from suing companies that use BSD 4.4 Lite as their codebase.
At least it says that in the ESR stance paper...
Obviously some people never even bothered to learn that correlation != causation.
i installed it immediately with no problems.
one would think that it's pretty tough to screw up a 1.5mb patch.
And honestly people, how many times have you wanted to say that yourself?
But honestly, people, first you have to ask yourself if you are an illegal monopoly.
I'd rather read "Jim-Bob's Full Disclosure & Chicken Slaughtering Tips."
With your attitude, I'd rather you read that too.
bugtraq is moderated by a person. This person, like all people, has biases.
GOBBLES, a fairly prominent if offbeat security research person/team frequently complains about censorship on bugtraq.

Agreed. There are times I wish UNIX had a grok tool so people would understand its use...
The Slashdot community is far more intelligent than this.
No it isn't!
Yes it is!

Why on earth would your mom put a phone in the basement anyway?
Yup, you're cynical.

Why does everybody always point the finger at Office?
I point the finger at Office because of Outlook (and Exchange).

I just want to say Bravo!
I just hope in time there is enough other content to read.
Well, there's always the daily SCO report. Or, umm... the weekly BSD story... *shrugs*
they don't really require a reboot, they just have the user reboot instead of dynamically unloading and reloading libraries.
I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the chair-to-keyboard interface.
Should your chair-to-keyboard interface be properly functioning, you can always just bring it down to single user and bring it back up again.
If you wouldn't mind, wake us up when the ipod supports flac. I'm going to go take a nap.
Thanks in advance,
