I just want to say, that P2P being legal still does not allow exchanging of copyrighted material, and hope those traders who has no respect to creators of those materials start hurraying and download all night like monkeys...
Considering it may not be illegal somewhere in Africa, would this topic be so broadly come up on slashdot and any other news site? Stop making no point. People from first world countries with good connections where it's illegal make this thing the news, and all they say is their right about privacy and quit their ISP because they stop spreading those copies, some people...
Are you uploading or downloading illegaly obtained copyrighted material? I do not assume 'yes', because you may be the one who's keep downloading Linux ISO everyday, but then again if 'yes', do you think you're on the side you can actually sue, or get sued. But of course, you should know what you're up to.
As for ISP, it's really annoying that their backbone is filled up with illegal contents moving up and down you know. Why do you guys always push your rights but not think what's happening on the other side, it sounds really dumb. If BitTorrent is all about Linux ISO and whatever 'clean' contents, then you can sue ISP whatever you like, but when BitTorrent is known to carry over 90% traffic as illegal stuff, then wow, you guys are pretty bold only for yourself.
Now, for real graphic designers who has always used Photoshop, I may understand that it is troublesome to try a different interface, but the problem is, I hear all these claims from everywhere. "Photoshop is easier, GIMP interface sucks"... So, how much of you actually BOUGHT the Photoshop because you needed it? Isn't it that you people kept ripping and ripping and downloading Photoshop illegaly and got used to it? Even before there was any Photoshop Elements, the cheap version of Photshop was around, on the internet it sounded like just about anyone had Photoshop for their graphic purpose... If you're the one complaining GIMP interface sucks because you're used to your RIPPPED Photoshop, please take a moment and rethink what you're doing. Because it sounds real rubbish.
it's for different use. so, why do you compare? besides nfs can't even do charset conversions, and of course Windows clients can't change the charset off from the default value, so server needs capability. and the reason nfs needs quite a lot of different daemon running with different ports, it makes it not my favourite. although throughput over WAN, samba becomes the poorest of capability when NFS makes it a good speed.
Without a real specific category, how do you narrow to 10? It's just ripping and scraping 10 out of the great 100 open source for your liking. This list is nothing... Where is BIND? Where is sendmail/postfix? No internet is there without these anyway... I mean, not everyone benefits from XviD nor from GIMP, but moreso for BIND and other critical part of people's life.
He doesn't put Linux anyway... so... don't bother, unless you came to find what dyne:bolic is...
So far, as in school and in office, in Japan, I only saw people use MSN. I used ICQ when talking to people in the USA some years back, but lately, I only use MSN for any domestic im. I guess some use Yahoo, but I never even saw a person use AIM here.
I have been following FreeNX for some time in my Gentoo but the good thing about FreeNX is not only I also feel it is more responsive than VNC, although I treat TightVNC server against RealVNC Windows client just as good, I think the built-in security measure is a big plus.
It goes through port 22, which is the proven SSH method and connects to user NX on the server, then redirect itself to it's X and pass it back, so no fancy new firewall hole or no need to put in your ssh forward or don't need to risk going through insecure channel.
There are more added bonus as in it supports X transulucency as well as the client keyboard layout can be changed, which really has to be there, since the server and client WILL have different layout in many occasions. It even supports sound, printer and hard disk forwarding, although you need a little setting to do on server side, but I have seen the sound gets forwarded and felt good.
Besides, VNC only runs for 1 screen, there is XDMCP but then again, FreeNX provides new desktop for every user, just like what RDP does. And all in all, GPL and free of price. Way to go.
Just by experience, but OpenBSD never had 'Excellent' hardware support, neither do the developers put that as the top priority of the os, compared to Linux or moreover for Windows.
Sure, recent versions of OpenBSD does support most of the modern hardwares just fine, but you really should check out the hardware compatibility documentation (link is for i386 hardware) thoroughly if you know which hardware to go by.
One thing as wireless card not working on 802.11g but only on 802.11b really puts you off because of driver issue, just as an example, so check things out before.
Oh and, being free means, the risk is on you, not to whoever you have payed the support for. You need a good administrator for a free product, unless you contract some OpenBSD support shop.
You really don't want to go the unsupported way in the risk of messing around with your own bank account...
If you're despearete use Remote Desktop to Windows and be done with it, I hate to have malfunctioning JavaScript make errors and not even show if there was an error because of unsupported function or different behaviour with the spoofed browser of your choice.
It's not like you want to send money twice because the last JS didn't show you the 'transfer completed' screen...
Let's see the chance which of the errors 'actually' gets fixed. Of course, if you let the experts check every wikipedia article... might get fixed earlier.
It's funny that there is no longer a Perl vs PHP flame articles and comments. Isn't it because people by now who program tested to use either of those and now sits fine with their opinion?
While I'm on the side wanting quick IPv6 deploy, that statement, surely does create new business but as long as there is no 'return' from that investment, people will not start it...and it is very unclear at the moment what the return is by deploying IPv6, when everyone is thinking same and backing off. It's just 'don't fix if not broken' and 'it works as is so why waste?', IPv6 is not all about fixing but hopefully one day some big event flourish adoption...
While it sounds nifty, you need big trust upon these guys for a use, but either way they say they don't store your data, no company would use for internal use.
If you need to read someone's code and understand, you will have to dig every file that is linked and referenced to go through the logic built in the code, but comment can make it navigate you through it like a flow, not leave you behind in a maze or why the programmer did a workaround or nasty hacking to get the thing done.
Just code, never is a comment. It does make you go through it smooth, if written that way. But you don't know how someone you don't know writes the code.
Lots of people think this the same and I feel it unfortunate but being open source does not tell 'therefore it is completely free', and I think you meant as in price not as in source code freedom.
People should start pricing their applications even it is open source, and open source does not always mean GPL, when many people think so, which is once again unfortunate leading to 'open source' -> 'free use of code aka GPL' -> 'and it's free as in price as well'. Let this formula be broken, or talented coders who want to make life out of their good skill won't make happy days with their famous open source applications.
so, whats the point saying in here again if its so obvious?
if its because it doesnt start a flame war, which means people who cares arent looking, then not much point. otherwise, you are just steaming it out somewhere for not much reason except having attention to people who dont give much about php's political part of development.

Why don't you people stop uploading/downloading illegaly obtained copyrighted material for good?

doesn't it matter as long as you win on the windows field?
exactly how many percentage of people care if it runs on linux or mac? not that much

Im just a trespasser, but why dont you start thinking to solve the radical point, and not like just because his fist won't reach me I laugh at you?

When it gets some facts and theories, put that in science.
Otherwise... it's about the same as we're in Matrix.

more like gag on it not being completely compatible on the documents that they receive and send.

Just try out, and calm the public.

better approach is to say so on the mailing list when in development, not when it hits /. and on /. comment
For one, VPN surely does become trivial. And I'd love to see it happen.
Let alone know or bother what we are talking about in here...
