Well, there are several opinions to that, so here's mine:
Fry this guy! Apple was the first to market with an online music store and is currently market leader. The Apple DRM system is probably the best out there when it comes to quality (AAC, much better than those crappy 128/192 KBps MP3s) and restrictions: Basically you can use the files on every computer in your household and iPod.
If you really want to hack a DRM system: Windows Media 9 is waiting for you and it will be the HD-DVD scheme both in coding and as DRM. Remember: If you break it now, make it to the press, the DVD Forum will not like using WM9. Clips are available here
What will Apple's reaction be? Well, the iPod has a lot of processing power (ARM core? Does anyone know the exact specs?) and it will survive the next generations of DRM change.
I installed Oracle 9i on SuSE Linux a year ago (must have been 8.0 or 8.1). It basically worked out-of-the-box with only one minor glitch that is documented at SuSEs website. Their Enterprise Linux is also certified for Oracle. (I tried the normal version, must be professional now)
Another open question is why you need Enterprise? The underlying OS is the same, recompiling the kernel is something every CS undergrad could do for you. The only real issue is support, but I think that should be negotiable, since you can look at other companies too! Turbolinux and Connectiva are also companies that have their Enterprise Linux certified.
Four companies to ask about support? Go kick some ass!
Are you going to spend 699 dollars for an SCO license? Well, I don't plan to do so.
Here's my solution: Spend that money on shares! We will get approx. 55 shares each. If 120'000 people do that too, we will have more than 50 % of SCO! Then we'll kick some ass, apologize, make Unix finally Open Source (tm), buy laptops for everyone and shut down the company!
BT is a nice P2P app, it is a better Edonkey (the hash works! i've had corrupt downloads with emule/edonkey) and it removes those huge servers.
In theory, you can have one tracker for each file. However it makes sense to group files of a certain interest, say Linux ISOs, on one tracker and maybe Buffy episodes on a different tracker.
Torrentse and Suprnova are a nice idea, but they pose a target for ddos attacks, which has happened, like Slashdotting torrentse.cx when someone posted the link to the "Matrix Reloaded Final Theatrical Trailer".
In summary I would not change anything about BT. The "experimental client" solved the issue I got. Keep up the good work!
I've taken a ride on that thing during this years "Hannover Messe" which took place in April 2002.
So this isn't exactly new stuff. But it was a lot of fun. Yes, a real rollercoaster would blow much more wind into your face but in the end you concentrate on the movement the seat makes.
Oh, and the best thing is you can reprogram it to make a totally different ride.
Sigma did acknowledge the inital (1.0) claim by xvid, so they had the code and they used it.
Then they removed the code and reimplemented it. However, I assume they read the xvid code and when they try to replace it, they also thought about the way xvid did it.
At this point, I smell MS with their community license. They claimed, that after you reviewed the idea (hey!), your code would be based on theirs, so MS would get it
Now, simply transfer this to GPL ! In every case, they have to release the source code !

This is a dupe, postet by CowboyNeal, not even by timothy

Any comments ?
The interesting thing here is that the original site
is still online: http://198.63.57.204
Here's a little netcat "chat" I had with the old server
So it in some sense still runs FreeBSD
