I think the probablility of this being hacked is extremely high. With radio interference, and power connections so available, it would seem simple to send rediculous transmissions. Of course it won't effect anything for good.
I think this is offtopic, so you're lucky. They're discussing switching to LGPL which has no disadvantage that the BSD licence doesn't also have. Though it would seem slightly hard to define "based on" and "uses".
Still the fundamental principal is nice, you have to change a lot, and add stuff to make money, which encourages creativity, or open source.
I think your getting optimistic, there might be something on venus, but with mars' thin atmosphere, mercury's closeness to the sun, and Jupiter so far away, it looks kinda dim.
I'm really interested in the exploration of Jupiter, and saturn moons, so far away from the sun, yet they're warmer than mars (some of the time), and bigger than mercury.
Of course the xbox has to be "hackable" it might just involve some cost, and some information. Xbox games start, so you just need a authorization from a game manufacturer. Scince xbox uses a standard hard drive, and you don't have to sync with a m$ server to run a game, the codes are stored on the machine.
It's not easy, or even with the little intrest it would be hacked, but it's possible, definatly.
...And I'll never stop being a troll. I am not trying to flame Young, though I don't like redhat, I'm merely speaking against it. People get tired of things after a while, that's why we see changes. I'm sure there was a time when everyone said "Toyota will never make it in the US." But they have, and if it weren't for the high prices, they'd have a huge market.
It's not that Chevrolets, Fords and Chrystler don't work, they just aren't as good. Microsoft will loose the desktop when people wake up and find out that Linux ( vw bug edition ) is easeir to use, more stable, and faster. [/rant]
I have been using their products for 18 years, and I continue to use them when to do so makes busines sense.
I have never known a microsoft product to make business sense. I don't think RMS is going overboard just for the record, I think Miguel is going insane.
Sun has a much better platform than.Net with Java, and it's even faster. Java is even more popular.
The Xbox hasn't been hacked for a few reasons. 1. it sucks. It doesn't do anything cooler than a PS2, even with better hardware, and Gamecube is less expencive, plus you wont get a green screen of death.
Maybe people just woke up and decided that the Xbox was a bad deal when it finally came out. $300 for a intel 700mhz w/64mb and a 8gig hd?
I really think these companies could do better. Intel bought the rights to Alpha last year, but they won't be using any of it until 2004. We know from benchmarks that a 667mhz Alpha was capable of trashing a Itanium 800mhz, and there's a lot more powerful Alpha's than that. Intel is too much into marketing from my view.
Try some numbers of Slackware linux vs. windows nt.
Redhat is probably the least secure of the linux distributions, however there have been less security flaws in Slackware Linux in it's entire history, than Windows nt in it's best year.
A idiot with a 2k box is obvioulsy less secure than an idiot with a linux box. Besides, there's less idiots on linux than windows. It seems to me that skilled sysadmins would be better off with a system that gets patched as soon as the vulnerability is found, instead of 2 weeks-2 months later. Plus you could make your own patch on Linux.
But the best touch, IMHO, is the spillproof, shockproof, greaseproof, and washable wireless keyboard that comes with it, an absolute necessity for the kitchen.
If it's Spillproof, and greaseproof, how come it even needs to be washable? Amazing concept.
The problem with this LSB thing is, it's too controlled by redhat. Redhat has been one of the biggest problems in putting things in the wrong place and using dumb formats.
If LSB is going to work, they're going to have to start doing things right, instead of how they feel like. Of course LSB can't really be bad, the worst that could happen is just redhat joining it, but I'm afraid that's about all that will happen.
I think the power for a beowolf cluster is much greater, I don't have any facts, but given the bloat in MacOS... Second, why did the Mac people turn this into a Mac VS. PC war? There's no reason you can't run a beowolf cluster on Macs.
Maybe Steve would feel more comfortable releasing OS X to PC if the Mac people would be more anti-windows, and less anti-pc.
It's only GOOD if the people who are currently sending you spam adopt the Truste seal. Otherwise you'll have the same amount coming to your inbox, and much more being filtered but still wasting your bandwidth.
I haven't been following the 2.5 releases, but back when 2.4.0-test1 came out, it was rock solid. I was impressed. I wouldn't be surprised if some people used 2.5 for something important, they use windows every day.
Voters of the 2000 election were told that the press would not say who was "winning" until the election was basically over. Then they called the states when they were done voting, and Florida 20 minutes before.
The press gets away with a lot of stuff, and we shouldn't expect that they wont get away with this.
I'm very sorry you were offended by my quote of the Bible, I didn't think of a better one. I had no intention of "bashing" the Word of God, look at my profile. Maybe I should just remove the quotes.
Because Mac's aren't near as powerful, Duh! This isn't a mac flame, but Macs just don't have a machine that can compete with a R14k, and probably not even a r12000a. I think you're all just upset because SGI's look cooler than macs.

This is the best post I've seen in about a month. And it only has a 4, get a life and moderate it up.

The perl foundation giving money to the perl founder. It's nice to see someone have some income from a open source project that has helped so many.

(That didn't get modded down). I think it's obvious we don't like book reports too well.

So it's good because this way you can sue them? Seriously, I don't see any advantage to people sending you spam, even if you can filter it.

It's just sold to Xandros. They've announced they're almost done recently. I find debian to confusing to install to be worthwhile.

I hear that some olicom token ring cards are supported in 4.4, do they by any chance have ibmtr in 4.5?

The important thing is they were distributing it on servers in the USA, that's why it was judged here.
