Well, to the normal user there is really no difference. So it was more of the simplistic aproach to the whole problem, as I do not currently use Linux anymore, I've moved to greener pastures. Aka BSD.
Isn't what the spammer doing already illegal? To some extent. I mean, they are sending you unsoliciated mail. But I mean, why do we gripe about spam. When we recieve enough "junk mail" in the real Postal Service mail.
Maybe, both should be considered illegal. Like the gov't is making it.
I've had quiet the contrary issue. I have never had any issues with ATI drivers, and love and worship ATI as a whole. I've more had a problem with drivers from Nvidia and other hardware vendors.
So, it's all what floats your boat. Use what you want, and quit bashing ATI. Maybe your doing something wrong.
they have a problem with you taking photographs of security cameras with a laser pointer, followed by a nice digital camera..
This shouldnt be against the law, heck its taking a picture. This should be fun to do on Christmas Eve, it's not like I ever need to get back into the mall..
This is good on Theo's & OpenBSD's part to have load balancing in the codebase, this should fill a niche in the server market, and maybe catch OpenBSD up to Linux a tad more.
Give them credit, they have one of the most mature and stable OS'es out there. And Theo is sure smart.
Is there any feasible use for this? Or is it just another language. LISP is over-rated imho. XML is just fine, it looks like XML. It has a number of dependencies such as Java, etc. Which would make it harder to install for the average user.
You answered your question yourself. Get experience with working OSS software, code some stuff. Submit some patches to either the FreeBSD or Linux kernel, and you should be set.
Just make sure that you keep up to date, even if you have to learn C# (.NET), it'll be still good on your resume. Heck, theres C# library's for UNIX now, if you have been reading slashdot.
And, I'd recommend keeping your current job, once you have sufficent knowledge. Then go looking for another one.
There is really no difference between the difference Linux distros, its all what you choose to use. If you feel comfortable with one distro, then use it AND you know how to secure it use it.
On the other hand, some distros are easier to secure such as Gentoo, because they don't install everything and the kitchen sink. Also the fact that you can update your whole system in one command, by keeping up-to-date your more secure. Also, there no pre-compiled distro specific binarys.
Redhat is an idea of a distro that installs so much uneeded stuff it's not even funny.
Crack? I mean, heck. I have ADSL so I can be online AND download massive amounts of data at high speeds.
Something tells me these people don't know what they are talking about, either that or they just don't use the internet much.. Isn't the internet for downloading the latest full album of your favourite artist? Or downloading a movie on KaZaa?
I'm right.. here. I won't run anything but *BSD any of my servers. IMHO it's too big of a security risk. With FreeBSD I can upgrade my system in a few commands.
If I found out one of my now converted friends was running Linux i'd be forced to hammer them over the head with an old Linux manual.
AMD has very good CPUs, the quality of them is exceptional. Along with their warranty, they also usually out-perform Intel. In my case Intel has always used the most power, and AMD has used the power it has better.
I stopped using Intel along time ago, my last Intel chip was a 550MHz, but I have built them for clients that didn't like the idea of AMD. In the end AMD is more bang for the buck.
So in the end, your opinion is just another anonymous coward. Have you even bought an AMD?
So this means that there will be less choice to choose from, so that means I'll be having to buy Intel if I want the best and the greatest, on the other hand this new microproccessor chip that are in the walmart computers, C3 if im not mistaken should be good.
On the exact otherhand I use FreeBSD. Id rather have a system that is stable, and mature. Rather then a always-devel system like Linux, remember those nice FS destroying bugs?

As the Spam Turns

This is no different the the occurences that DALnet IRC Network has auto killed *.ipt.aol.com to get the attention of the ISP due to not helping with abuse complaints.
It worked, so why wouldnt it work with spam?
I attempted to use FreeBSD as my desktop OS for approximatley 5 months, it worked. Well it kinda worked, the biggest problem I had was X. It was stable, but had a tedency to crash with alot of the programs it ran.
Also the fact that theres really no support with my video card's OpenGL features, I wasn't even able to play my favourite game Unreal Tournament on FreeBSD. Nor when I tried Redhat 8.0 with a stock kernel (yes stock, it should work.. but it doesnt.) with Winex (Which I bought, and was a waste of money). It was sluggish, and didn't even work with the games it said it was supposed to work with.
I really want *NIX as a whole to succeed, but it's just not at that point where a average user can set it up and get it working out of the box. Even I had trouble getting it working, after 2 1/2 years of working with FreeBSD.
Eventually I just switched back to running Windows XP. Hell I had to wait till 4.7-RELEASE for me to be able to even install FreeBSD because of problems with the ATA drivers. Fun!
Maybe they've overrated this chip by 2Ghz, so its really an old Pentium III 1GHZ;)
Other than that they stuck a lable on the AMD chips and overclocked them a couple hundered mhzs.
Or, you can have the teenager's garage (carport). The place where stressed parent's put their kids and their computers.
Thats my idea of a computer room, all fast;)
Well once again the/. editors messed it up. This is fake news, read the top of the article, and the bottom. Maybe they should clue in and remove this article for starters?
Slashdot Mirror
Im none of those, just a satisified customer. I've had nothing but problems with other brands of video cards.
You know. Use what you want to use, but you don't have to bash people for using ATI.

I never go there anyways.

Oh, yeah and the best thing. It's Canadian

Wait.. isn't that what it's supposed to be for??

If I found out one of my now converted friends was running Linux i'd be forced to hammer them over the head with an old Linux manual.
I can't wait for this release. It should rock, the new features like SMPng and other's should be cool..
And to top off it, background fsck!
This product isn't new, it was in one of the books I was reading that was published in 1998 a "Linux Complete" if I recall.
And you actually believe anything the trolls say? Look at the base for Mac OS X - Darwin, it is based on FreeBSD..
We all know why Yahoo! switched HotJobs to FreeBSD, its because they sponsor the FreeBSD project.
As you can see, freebsd.org is on the Yahoo! netblock.
That was an Intel CPU, and not an AMD.
AMD has very good CPUs, the quality of them is exceptional. Along with their warranty, they also usually out-perform Intel. In my case Intel has always used the most power, and AMD has used the power it has better.

This may be a mistake on AMD's part.

Why be scared of Microsoft? What are they going to do. DDoS your butt? Yeah right..
