From what I hear, the main advantage of NetBSD over FreeBSD or OpenBSD is that it is ported to a huge number of architectures. So you get the whole BSD thang and all that's good with that, but it's more portable than the other BSDs and so you can use it on many more architectures.
A bit back, I submitted an article that the Norwegian was also seriously considering moving to Linux. If I remember correctly, their decision was not only based on the fact that Linux is free, but that, in switching to Linux, they would be reducing or eliminating their dependence on Microsoft, a U.S. company.
It seems that any article with so-called "experts" seems to find mostly experts in other areas. The "strategy analyst" and the other "experts" don't seem to know what they're talking about. For one thing, some of them seem to ignore the fact that OpenBSD, undoubtedly one of the most secure, if not the most secure operating system, is open-source. If an operating system is truly secure, it does not matter whether it is open-source or not, and open-source projects undoubtedly end up the most secure.
Write to them intelligent and well thought-out comments. An unintelligent comment will not be considered seriously or possibly even at all and might even get those government-types annoyed at us Linux hippies.
You still definitely should respond though, intelligently! These are our rights they're taking away. Every time any one of our rights are taken away, even in smallest, it makes it easier for our rights to be taken away in the future. If an abundance of people don't stand up and say "NO!" I foresee a time when we will be almost devoid of rights. And for those of you who say "I don't count," EVERY comment on this counts. If everyone decided they would not voice their opinion to protect their rights, no one would, and this would lead to a very horrible future...
Linux software will work on every Linux box that is using the same major version of the kernel, regardless of the distro. Windows NT and Windows 9x are fundamentally different operating systems, although they are both Win32. Even if they distributed the software in, say, only RPM form, there are plenty of tools out there to convert it.
Another company or somesuch could avoid the cost of making and putting 66 satellites into space. Considering they're just going to destroy them anyway, they might sell cheap, selling them at all would be making more money than just letting them burn up.
What I want is a sort of "less popular Slashdot," a site that focuses on essentially the same things that Slashdot does, but is not as popular. It seems that Slashdot is almost infested with trolls and the like and "iffy moderators." If anyone knows of a site like this, I would like to hear about it:) (kuro5hin seemed focused way more on science/technology than Slashdot)
Even in the horribly vulnerable Windows systems of the world, the number of viruses has never reached the proportions of an "epidemic." If the spread of viruses never reached epidemic proportions with the insecurity of Windows, how is it going to cause so much more of a problem with a more secure system?
Even the most intelligent and informed Windows user is susceptible to viruses, simply by the way Windows is put together. Naive users are even more susceptible. However, in Linux, an intelligent and informed user is not susceptible to viruses. You have to be the naive user in order to be infected. Any person who gets infected with a virus in Linux has this happen to them because of ignorance or stupidity. In other words, while this may sound Draconian, it's their own fault.
I believe that another difference, and seemingly now, more notable difference is that OpenBSD underwent a complete security audit whereas, to the best of my knowledge, FreeBSD did not. (although it's possible a complete FreeBSD security audit was just longer ago)
The people that use these top-level domains for purposes other than commerce, networks, and non-profit organizations, respectively, should also be required not to use them.
How do these Pokemon characters go to the bathroom? And what inhumane things has Green Monkey done to his Pokemon. Posing nude with their butts bared to the world, this must be illegal, somehow.
This is always the perfect answer to anything that's late. Teacher's don't know what to do, and BOOM! you've got a free weekend to actually do it. They never even have to know I use Linux. So far though, this is the only good thing ("innovation") I've seen come out of any Microsoft OS/Office product.
I assume that they mean they will "support" the "major distros" by releasing RPMs. The program itself is still runnable on any distro of Linux though. All that would be needed would be to convert rpm to tgz or just download a tgz.
Wildcard DNS matching is a very obvious thing. It's the method of doing so that's not obvious. Because we're not all using this sort of technology in our web browsers does not make wildcard DNS matching obvious, it makes a method of wildcard DNS matching obvious. Clarification.

The people of your country might just as well take away your rights, possibly fueled by saying "They did it, so it must be right."

You're right, TCP/IP over e-mail is easy. The tough stuff comes with TCP/IP over Pony Express.

I think you have to link to file://c:/aux/aux
Besides, you use Hotmail, that's worse than any version of Windows.
