Except that the 'uninformed masses' are not ciscos main market.. we arent talking about twinkees here... ( and i know of one case where a bakery chain went down hard, due to one mistake.. the 'general public' understood what happened, and the place was out of business in 6 months, after nearly 100 years of being in the business )
Most of Cisco's market undersands the technology and security ramifications, and i think they would drop cisco in a heartbeat if this were to happen. Or at least i would hope they would...
While we can debate 'propagation rates' all day, i still feel its more free.. ( the problem is that a lot of BSD licensed code is used and no one even notices or knows how much was used, so its hard to really nail down which propagates better )
if i want to sell a product with BSD code, im free to do so, without any strings atached of having to fork over code just beacuse somone asked... All i have to do is give them credit, i dont even have to admit what code i used.. With GPL, I cant get away with that, and always run the risk of having to open my code up in the process.. More restrictive/less free.
Now, im *not* saying GPL is bad, as we can all choose the license we want. I just think BSD is much less restrictive, and in the end, more free. If you want some control over the use of your code, then GPL is a better choice. If all you really want is credit, then BSD is the better choice. Keyword, choice.
and that runs on pc hardware, this appears to be on custom hardware that can actually do the job. Using pc hardware only works for a small business.. the bandwidth isnt there.
Oh, the threat of loss of all privacy is real and should be taken seriously. its tust the 'threat' of the mythical 'end of the world is near' should not be taken too serious.
The world will go on. Just a bit more restrictive and less pleasant to live in.
40 years ago, it was the 'social security card'....20 years ago people said barcodes were it.. in anoher 20 it will be something else... no need to panic.
Now if some guy with horns and a tail, and breathes fire, comes out waving an RIFD injection machine THEN you can panic..
"let themselves be bought"? Perhaps they just finally realized ideals dont pay the bills, or feed the family. Just because you goto work for the man, doesnt mean you sold out your ideals.
Sure, in some special cases DC is better at the *device*. But even then, i challenge you to not notice how the power got to the building in the first place. It came via AC and thru transformers. And for good reason. AC is more efficent for electric power transfer.
its about people causing trouble for others, to hide their identiy. Such as a exspouse that has a restraining order, or scam artists " we are with the police, see even our caller ID says so".
People screwing with their friends isnt a reason to even care i agree.
If they cut out all the good stuff, what is left that NASA can do, other then be reduced to being a service crew on satellites? ( not that it isnt also important, but not overly ground breaking )
Slashdot Mirror
Safeguards like this are put into place to prevent leaks that could compromise the troops.
The military has NEVER been 'open' during action for this reason, so why should it start now just because its 'the Internet'?
Get real.

Oh, wasnt knocking it, freesco is a wonderful thing.. ( and I still carry a copy in my toolkit, 'just in case' )
Only meant that commodity pc hardware wont hold up under anything larger then a small busines.
And this is a problem why? Some of us dont agree with the concept of the GPL in the first place.
If they choose not to use GPL, bsdish doenst make them bad, it makes them more free, with fewer restrictions.
Not as many as people think.
Could you imagine the ramifications if a company got caught with a backdoor? They could kiss their ass good bye.
Dont you mean FreeSCO?
and that runs on pc hardware, this appears to be on custom hardware that can actually do the job. Using pc hardware only works for a small business.. the bandwidth isnt there.
For a router, its mostly in the hardware, if it can keep up with real-life data rates.
Software is secondary..
Just cant let that continue. People feeling safe to speak their minds, well its just so anti-establishment... Cant allow that now can we?
As long as your ram has a battery, no worries.
Some ( all? ) SAN devices have write cache, as well as read.
What happened to marge's hair??

Im right. Period.
Sooner all you people accept that, the better for you.
So wanting your family to be able eat and have a roof is selling out?
No wonder our society is in the trash heap.
Tell that to the judge.
This would be considered a violation of the law, and make any complainer a hyprocrit. So how is this good?

Umm if it was their patent, they deserve compensation. Its only fair. ( now the dollar amount, we can debate, but not the concept )
Its not about helping people, its about making a buck.
if someone happents to be cured along the way, so much the better.
Bull.
Forgot about the artists.
Tablets dont fit in your pocket. So they are not a replacment for a PDA.
Nothing wrong with a tablet, just that they are not a 'pda killer'. ( though they might eventually start chewing at the laptop market ).
Fancy cell phones are more of a threat to the PDA market.
He was not correct then, nor now.
