Oh, I agree w/ the preference:) Firewall/DMZ machines especially do not need LKM support.
However, having built several monolithic kernels that are larger than 640k (ie: 888759 Jan 7 15:02 vmlinuz-2.4.24), I still have to disagree regarding a 640 limit. After some intensive googleing I found out what happens.
decompresses to lower 640 first, then to high memory (above compressed image I assume:)
kernel is then re-assemebled at the 1M area (lotta swapping going on)
kernel is booted from the 1M mark
All of this assumes that your bootloader is bzImage aware, of course.
So, yeah, while we are still slightly limited by the stupid 640K concept, it is defeated by bzImage.
I think that this was regarding the original criminal case. What would be nice is TakeTwos lawyers finding the credit card receipt showing where the parents bought the game in the first place. Anyway, it is the family of one of the victims that is suing, not the parents.
[Judge] Strand said the school records of Joshua were "atrocious" last year, and the parents did not try to help educators and "that alone shows me probation is not something I would consider." He said parents need to know they can keep their children out of situations such as the one faced by the defendants.
Seems pretty obvious where the blame falls to me. Parents that are not willing to help their children in school, or pay even the slightest amount of attention to their other activites invite this kind of shit.
Just to add to the lack of attention, the guns were gone for almost a week:
Joshua Buckner sneaked the two guns out of a bedroom closet and hid them in the woods about a week before the June 25 crime
Yep, the Samba Team does. They believe that goes against the spirit of Open Source.
From the FA:
Because of this, we believe that the Samba must remain true to our principles and be freely available to use even in ways we personally disapprove of.
Even when used by rank hypocrites like SCO.
Personally I think that this view is more potent than *not* allowing it to run on SCO. Although having to include a config line like I_Am_Using_An_Evil_OS=TRUE would be OK with me:)
I *knew* I had seen this before...
From an article in the August 1997 Harpers:
One of the key provisions of the bill is its five-year lifetime limit on welfare, the enforcement of which will require a vast investment in technology to track individuals, through name changes and geographical moves, for decades on end--creating a veritable Foucaultian panopticon of surveillance and a growth industry for the finger-imagists and information technologists.
I had remembered the "veritable Foucaultian panopticon" phrase most vividly.
I would not be surprised to find Lockheed and/or EDS behind this now as they were then... sounds too similar for mere coincidence.
Actually, based on market cap, Redhat is huge compared to SCO, and even SGI (almost) doubles 'em. Granted, SCO is suing IBM for more than Redhat is worth, and you get more media from suing IBM (everybody has heard of them) vs. Redhat.
Anyway, as of now, here are the caps: SCOX: 132.2M SGI: 214.6M RHAT: 1.162B IBM: 140.3B
You know you've got it when a 60 second shutdown timer pops up on your screen.
This was a bug in the first version of the worm, it has since been fixed so that no shutdown occurs.
see http://lists.insecure.org/lists/fulldisclosure/200 3/Aug/0418.html for the updated version.

ExitProcess, thus

I just wish there was a way to support the freedoms I believe in without having to associate or be associated with these pervs.
...I don't particularly have much respect for the rights of those who solicit such material.
You can't have it both ways. You don't have to like what those people do, but you MUST respect their rights. You have to remember that its the weirdos and wackos and pervs [oh my!] that test the limits of the Constitution.
You are correct. I had only looked at the "standard" Freedom product. Completely anonymous web access would make definately make it worthwhile.
Which brings up the question: Why was is so difficult for them to implement under Linux?
Ignoring the fact that ZN used a proprietary design, couldn't frees/wan or similar be used to create a secure VPN.
Of course they (or anyone else for that matter) would have to have the bandwidth to support all of the incoming/outgoing connections of the subscribers. Its the usual security/usability tradeoff again.
Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't had enough coffee yet:)
Linux already does these things.
ipchains/iptables && squid && junkbuster will accomplish everything that they want you to pay for. The problem was not a "preference for the Windows platform," but "Linux does this for free, why is nobody giving us money."
I had heard of this too, not sure if it was an urban (naval?) legend or not though. Since I was an electrician, it was said that electricians had found it it while tracing wire... I'm sure if you were a machinist, it would have been a machinist tracing steam lines.

In case the AC that replied to you doesn't get modded up; what 640k limit?
My current kernel is 1.2M (2.4) and boots just fine on a PIII.
What are you talking about?
If its the phrase "bated breath," then you are wrong. Bated is the correct spelling.
Check this out.

Kids not doing shit in school, playing M rated video games (at home, in the parents house), and guns missing for a week... yeah, blame TakeTwo.

Redhat has this cool thing called "stock." Thats probably the best way to donate :)
how about a usb -> ethernet dongle?
Theft of services, maybe wire fraud... I agree that the FBI probably didn't need to get involved, but theft is theft.

Wow!
That means I can pull the pencils out of my power supplies now.
Thanks!
Just warned me about this in Thief of Time.
Good question.

Great.
Now every time I see that sig, I will be afraid.
Thanks _very_ much.
Please come to Atlanta and do this :)
Let me know where and when though; I don't want to get caught in the crossfire.
"We're all equal here," Sacrosante said. "When you're used to making six figures and working in a dynamic and exciting environment..."
Well, you aren't making six figures now, but I bet it sure is "dynamic" and "exciting."
You are correct. I had only looked at the "standard" Freedom product. Completely anonymous web access would make definately make it worthwhile.

I did.
Q) Protect your PC from malicious hackers
A) ipchains/iptables
Q) Prevent Websites from tracking your activities
A) junkbuster
Q) Secure your passwords and personal info
A) Don't give these things out
Q) (1)Block unwanted ads and (2)speed up browsing
A) (1)junkbuster and (2)squid
Yes, it takes a few minutes to set this up, but it works great.
Linux already does these things.
ipchains/iptables && squid && junkbuster will accomplish everything that they want you to pay for. The problem was not a "preference for the Windows platform," but "Linux does this for free, why is nobody giving us money."
That sounds like a trailer for a movie...

Hell, I would pay to see it
