Cryptic errors like this seem to happen more to me on Linux than on FreeBSD. YMMV, but if it weren't for google, I'd have given up long ago...

This means more acts will opt to follow the model Phish used to become popular. They created a following not from a successful studio album, but by years of playing venues and building grassroot support. Imagine talented acts chosen by the people instead of the crap being driven down our throats today.
There's nothing quite like you and your buddy taking on and destroying hundreds of enemies. Plus, the cooperative mode forces coordination between players and has this sweet two-player musou attack.
Blazing fast and highly programmable. The only time I need to touch the mouse in fvwm is to click a link in Mozilla. It's too bad RedHat DROPPED it from its CD distribution. Grrrr...

Supporting voice across all games is great, but it's not the killer feature that will make everyone run out and buy an Xbox.
What does make sense for Xbox Live and something like Butterfly.net (http://www.butterfly.net) is to provide infrastructure for smaller (more innovative) game publishers that do not have the expertise or the economies of scale to invest in the server infrastructure required to run a successful on-line game. Lowering the barrier of entry to smaller developers is where centralized, shared infrastructure approaches will work (IMO).
Hiring in academic institutions such as ours runs counter to economic cycles. I'm hiring Waterloo interns aggressively while they're cheap (~$19/hour) and of decent quality in hopes of turning them into stellar graduate students. Gotta do it quick before things turn-around and they start following the money trail. The $20k a year stipend for a graduate student still beats unemployment benefits (although not by much);)
The more Microsoft talks about the pitfalls of open-source, the more they damage their own credibility. Since Microsoft has done more damage to themselves than hundreds of open-source advocates have, why not let them speak?

One of the biggest problems in the backbone is that attempting to support arbitrary routing policies driven by a myriad of different customers overconstrains the problem of global internet routing. This leads to configurations in which either many solutions exist or no solutions exist to the routing problem and causes routing instability. Couple this with the fact that router configuration is a black art that is extremely error-prone and you get WorldCom-like outages. Such problems will actually IMPROVE with more consolidation. If you're interested, check
this paper out.
if google made $1 everytime someone used them to find an answer to a tech support question, they would 0wn microsoft.

The paper looks at version numbers but does not account for back patches to old versions that fix the bug. I'm running a patched Mandrake https server which returns a version of 2.8.7/0.9.6c. Slapper requests correctly return an error message. What the paper needs to do is issue the exploit itself to determine whether or not things have been patched. Otherwise, the author overcounts the vulnerable systems out there.
The paper talks about pushback filters based on destination-IP based address filters. Consider a DDoS attack on a popular site such as slashdot. Pushback will affect EVERYBODY, not just the unpatched zombies. If exploited correctly, this makes for a perfect tool for the hacker to obtain a 100% denial. This is an arms race, we can't afford to give hackers our nukes, unless we make sure they can't be used against us.

Now they'll be able to Pwn all those sites protected by Hot CAPTCHAhttp://www.hotcaptcha.com/...

Hmmm....written in java...run from a central server....delivered over the network.
Broken Saints is all fine and good, but when is the next episode of Ninjai coming out?
Can you imagine how useful Google would be if they had BOB? or the paper clip?
Modifying code without having to give it back seems more like a move sideways in relation to GPL and a move towards the BSD license.
That figure is wrong.....If he makes the film, he'll be making $17 million not $11 million
There's also a lot of interest in SAP DB

what's worse is that the slashdot folks claim to be from michigan. hmmmmm....

you may as well throw in all of those pesky UDP services on the list.
almost any problem you run into with Linux can be solved via google in minutes.

maybe you guys should post articles on movies that don't do their CGI with a Linux cluster (along with their cost of production).
