But the Gnucleus team is really happy with Morpheus. The "news rant" i think was due to the MusicCity attitude. They didn't even the contact Gnucleus team.
But they indeed are very proud, and happy. Take a look:
"Morpheus: Also a post-Gnucleus 1.0 clone. Wow, this was unexpected, 50 million users and they switch over to the Gnucleus engine... uhm.. welcome aboard!"
It doen't really have to include the source together with the binary. I mean, mostly every GPLd program can be downloaded in binary or source versions. It's not fair to ask for source+binary downloads.
The only thing, I think more credit should be given when using someone else's work. And at least, I'd have hoped that Morpheus had done that (maybe they did, i haven't check but looks like they didn't).
I don't buy your argument. Ok, but you buy Windows, and you will always have to buy it as long as they keep abusing their monopoly. Everyone, everywhere.Sorry.
You can comprimise php and the entire web site (how much harm depends on setup), and probably make a lot of mess. You can't take full control of the system though.
And it's not a piece of cake attack either like Red Code II. Some versions are very difficult to exploit.
With RedCode II you could just wipe everything from the HD, steal passwords, certificates, everthing (at least that I thought)
Well, the only think i can think can bring your lab down is: centrally managed server with no redudancy. If you can't have redundancy (disk, server) it's best to have standalone PCs.
As for maintainance, it can be done at off-lab hours. You don't need hotwapping. If an HD fails, you can fix it in a day or two. The cost of having resources alocated just in case anything trivial happens adds to the cost. Nodoby will warrantee the uptime, if you are not already paying the cost.
Anyway, I wanted to point out that many people just cover their asses at taxtayers or coporate expense.
It's ok, but i think different. Having 99,9% uptime is a fair goal.
But it's just saying they though there was H2O on mars. Because at the poles temperatures (which is a very basic knowledge), ice is always frozen, thus the name. An in the ecuator, i'd boil when sun-faced and leave mars or reach the poles.

Lots of Ice On Mars
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Brings to me the book series Red, Blue and Green Mars. They guy that wrote those books was (apparently) involved with the NASA and he developed some real physics on how to terraform Mars.
Interesting reading to anyone that likes sci-fi, specially hard sci-fi (the books not difficult or anything, it's just realistic).
Water was very important. You can see it also in the Total Recall film, melting the water was the key (though here it's a riddiculous "Melt & Play")...
No reverse lookups needed. There are publicly available IP mappings databases. If the IP has been assigned to a banned country, then it IS in the list.
I suggest the debian maintainers should check at LEAST this site.
http://caida.org
If you want to testdrive the acuracy of the mappings, why not check if it works fine for your connection. Just inset your IP number and go!:

Another solution is installing a * Diskless X11s (floppy or net) on cheap hardware. You already have the hardware available * some Dual Athlons with 2 gigs RAM (say 20 of this to be on the really really safe). Say 20K at most. * A fast network (it's cheap, but must be built with care) * For Windows only apps you could use "Remote Desktop" directly from the server...
You'll have the apps all in one place. All users accounts centrally managed. Students would even be able to personalize their desktops...
Unless you have a huge budget, i'd consider this. Not because this is a cheapo, weak solution, but because if you DO have a large budged, it doesn't matter much if you use it wisely.
However, the only way I'd consider this is if the company you are buying the hardware from will guarantee uptime.
This should be at least 99.9% uptime (and yes, this includes security patches and hardware failures), otherwise you are going to get crucified.
You sound like if you care more about this guy's job than the product, budget and doing the the Right Thing.
Why I post post negative feedback? Because I really believe that the way you describe things is the wrong answer. In fact, your attitude seems popular in lots of companies. They buy the most expensive stuff, pay tenfold for everything, and buy it from the most *ahem* respected companies like IBM and such.
If anything does indeed go wrong you've got someone to blame. Doesn't matter if it's good or bad, or hyped or not. Anything goes wrong, you have the blameability option.
Bottom line: i do think your comment is overrated and harmfull. Doing a 100% uptime, 100% secure contract is the way to cover your ass. Of course everyone want's to achieve that, but transfering that responsability to other is negligence and usually leads to very expensive and uneeded solutions.
customize the package if something really annoys you
How do you do it, while keeping the packages unbroken? (i mean, if you install something not via a package, the system does not know it's there. That's what i though at least)
Now that you notice, the other day i was doing some stuff for a site. And i screwed some how. It made Galeon crash (100% CPU, unresponsive). My Windows friend laughed at me (just joking).
I asked him to open the page. BUM. He had to reboot. It was some kind of cross-referenced circular for(i) { for (j) {} } stuff. I had forgotten javascript has no local scope! About enough to bring Windows down.
We then tried from Windows 2000. No reboot necesary, but he had to Kill IE as well.
By the way, my Galeon (moz 9.7) is really stable. Give it a try.
True. But many people give up on Galeon because of that. Just to many dependancies AND asumptions. For example, you (at least before) had to open mozilla at least once before using Galeon, and add an path var (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME) if mozilla was not at default location.
I use Galeon, but a single package would be GREAT. Hopefully, now that most of Mozilla is LPGL (i think) and it's reaching maturity, will see that.
There's a Lynx fork right now, which will bring javascript, tables, etc to lynx.
You may not like Javascript, but some times the end result if you are forced to go GUI because of it. I'd love to stay at the command line some times...
I found this post interesting (even though it may be redundant). I am not into Devian, so i have never seen it in action.
Seems pretty cool though, considering i use Slackware or it's acronim "Selfware":(
I really like Slack, but i sometimes miss package management (ie: when i am short on time, or just want to try an app). www.linuxpackages.com is the only thing that saves my day (sometimes).
Last time i installed Galeon it was a pain in the ass. If i use the binnary pakage i need to install the binary Mozilla. But those binaries are in different locations than the original Slack binaries. So it doesn't work out of the box and it will take you some time to figure it.
I better like Galeon's feature "Open pop-up in tab". So eventually, you don't miss any important pop-up (something that's part of the website, like send-by-email pop-up for example).
The advantage is that a pop-up NEVER steals your sight from what you are reading. And you can close uncalled tabs without opening them if you really want.
It's so undisturbing i just find it years better to just block them. Plus, you help the site sell more adds (which i know is a Good Thing since many good sites depend on them and i don't want them to close).
Bottom line: I watch the adds of the sites i want, when i want and IF i want. And i don't lose content/features pop-ups.
Galeon is renders like Mozilla IMHO (and in reallity). Uses Gecko. Maybe you where using an old Mozilla engine when you tried it.
I have a tip though. Copy your Windows TT fonts so that they work under X. Then specify to use those as default fonts for serif (Times New Roman) and Arial (sans serif) and Courier New (fixed width).
You actually have like 99,9% IE like browsing now:)

Don't cover your ass, DO THE JOB.
Oh, thanks. Makes more sense than the global $var; from PHP (because some function may declare global something you used in other places as global).
customize the package if something really annoys you
How do you do it, while keeping the packages unbroken? (i mean, if you install something not via a package, the system does not know it's there. That's what i though at least)
I may give it a try soon. Is Woody coming along soon?
My fear about devian is about doing everything in a non-clear fashion (having stuff at odd dirs, special config stuff, etc.).
The point was to explain why for me opening pop-ups in a tab is better than plain blocking them. Not endorsing Galeon (which i usuualy do :-)
I mean, there are tons of features, but this ones is just great. Every browser could benefit from it.
Now that you notice, the other day i was doing some stuff for a site. And i screwed some how. It made Galeon crash (100% CPU, unresponsive). My Windows friend laughed at me (just joking).

Perhaps galeon does it better, though.
It's really powerfull yet unbloated. Everything is in the right place, the options you can change are meaningfull and everything works as expected.
It really got me by surprise. It's so much better even than Explorer. (i switched to full-time Linux about 8 months ago)

Javascript and JAVA are two diferent beasts. Javascript is the only way to have ANY KIND of client side scripting (besides VBS, which....)
For example, dynamic drop downs (ie: to change a select item options based on a previous choice). IMHO, javascript saved us from VBS spreading wild...
Galeon is renders like Mozilla IMHO (and in reallity). Uses Gecko. Maybe you where using an old Mozilla engine when you tried it.
