The article summary is completely wrong -- it mentions "while you're in coverage", to mean that you can leave the device connected to the network.
But from TFA: "Plane passengers will be allowed to use electronic devices weighing less than a kilogram in offline mode from gate to gate without needing to turn them off. The devices will need to remain in flight mode and cannot be used for calls, text or data, however."
So, all this really does is confirm the findings that the FAA had -- small devices are reasonable to use in airplane mode in all phases of flight.
It doesn't have any of the SELinux features enabled by default -- they're useless in a standard Linux environment.
execshield with NoExecute
So does any modern kernel.
and PIE (position independant executables)
You mean PIC (position independent code)? Well, yeah. Every shared library does.
and programs compiled with FORTIFY_SOURCE.
You mean these apps have security disabled by default? Or is this a magic oogey-boogey #define that automatically makes your code secure?
Those features greatly increase security while also helping to prevent future unknown attacks.
Way to be redundant
(Note, I dont believe all programs use those features for performance reasons, only those likely to be attacked like public facing services) Fedora also gives you easy access to XEN (virtualization), GFS (Global File System), and the Fedora Directory Server.
Why should Ubuntu do that? Ubuntu is a desktop environment, not a be-all end-all Linux distribution.
Come on, man -- don't just throw out buzzwords, know what you mean before you say it.
A bit unfortunately, read flight five, unmentioned in the slashdot summary:
As the site is some 50nm north of Chilliwack, 4 hours drive from the nearest paved road, we elected to fly over it the next weekend in a small C172 to try and pick up an exact "ELT" fix. But no signal was received. The electronics and telemetry software have proven to be extremely reliable, so the lack of signal can only be taken as evidence that the glider flew into the top of the mountain below at cruise speed:
I'm a developer for these chips, and I have to say, this is much ado about nothing.
This has been said before - the primary goal is to get the board part count down.
The primary goal is to get the board part count down.
Let me reiterate once more: The primary goal is to get the board part count down.
With this chip, the only thing that it means is that you don't need o include a flash chip on the board.
The system will still be reflashable through a JTAG interface - just as any other device with flash connected to a CPU would be. In that respect, this machine is no more holding us "hostage" than any other previously released iPAQ or Zaurus.
I thereby declare you, sir, to be talking out of your ass.
A title in no way uses content from the book. Likewise, a title doesn't provide proof positive that the material is what it claims to be. The hash provides proof positive, but it only does that by deriving itself from the content of the book. The ISBN is not derived from the content either, so it is not a derived book.

LokiTorrent vs. MPAA

Now, I know that it may be sacreligious to say this here, but doesn't the MPAA have a point?
These.torrents, indeed, point to copies of the files, and I don't think that that's illegal. But, the.torrents do have something else that is (probably) illegal: a derived work of the movie. The.torrents contain hashes of the encoded version of the movie. Regardless of whether the movie can be reconstructed from the hashes or not (and if it's a good hash, it can't be), a derived work is a derived work. If we allow violation of their copyright to take place in this form, we might as well say "Go ahead and steal the Linux kernel - as long as you compile it, it's OK." Is that what we want to be saying?
This is how copyright law works (I think). Or am I totally off base?
It might, it might not. I don't have the code, so I can't tell you. But I'll tell you this: I'll bet Claria "doesn't" contain any advertising or spyware either. It just depends on who's talking.

Ah, I'd love to welcome you to Slashdot, but we don't take kindly to AOL users here. Please turn in your geek badge at the door - a man named Roland will be collecting them.
This is the goal of capitalism... whoever can do it, do it. If they can do it for cheaper, cool. If they can do it better for cheaper, bonus. Why should a company hire you if you're doing a shitty job and $IMMIGRANT can do it better faster cheaper?
Additionally I think it's probably important to note the presence of 'rider bills' that ride on already-existing bills. That is what most 'flip-flopping' is all about.
Is this really the President's job? Family values are such a touchy issue that if a President brought their opinions in there, it would likely be a breach of the separation between Church and State.
I dunno. I think the goal of this is to get opinions, not to persuade. Much as I agree with the questioner, I'm not so sure that this is appropriate for this forum.
as I understand it, this would allow for propogation of new domains to be completed faster. this is *theoretically* a good thing, but it means that applications cannot cache DNS as effectively for nonexistant domains. this may end up causing a *lot* heavier load on the root DNS servers. much as we'd all love that functionality (who doesn't want to see their new domain a few minutes after they buy it?), there was a reason why they designed it the way they did.
This article seems to read like one big advertisement. It mentions no less than four specific Apple technologies that are really nothing special and could be replaced by other cheaper technologies. I understand that it may be cool because it's on an iPod, but honestly, do you need to mention the Apple Cinema Display??
you have the other 'cheap' PocketPC, I have accomplished much the same on the iPAQ h1910, of course with the support of the handhelds.org team. Come visit us on IRC on irc.freenode.net, channel #handhelds.org - and say that joshua_ sent you:)
My horror story is the ATI Mach64 card. 3D support was laughable. I got much better framerates using utah-glx in linux, but alas every other app would lock the system.:(
My favorite quote, 'Microsoft, true to tradition, has focused on expanding its list of features, while Apple has worked toward elegance and simplicity.'
Do you really think we care what your anti-Microsoft quote is? Please, let the reader judge. This elitism is one thing that is holding back Linux in the marketplace - users are always putting a spin on what should be fact. Let's try to keep Slashdot clean of this and set a good example. (Yes, this means that you editors should edit what users submit.)
