Good luck. Everybody knows that Linux is for cheapskates. What do they think they're doing? They should expend their energies on more lucrative markets.
I can't believe somebody modded you up for that. This doesn't even begin to approach the level of security that the likes of Trusted Solaris and high end IBM software is at. It's just a collection of security fixes and patches. It's not even introduction of an ACL system like TrustedBSD has. It's just a half-assed attempt at a security audit to remove the existing bugs.
Real security comes by design, not by sticking your thumb in the dike again and again and again.

Depends on the digital camera. Most consumer-level camcorders capture at NTSC speed (that is, 60 half-frames per second, or 29.97 interlaced frames per second). You usually have to start spending a lot of money before you can have a digital video camera that will record at 24 full frames per second, but there are a few exceptions here and there.
Goatse.cx is an excellent place to start looking - they are very open and are an excellent starting point for many questions your child is going to ask sooner or later.
If you're going to run an SMTP server in the first place, you don't get AOL. Duh. And AOL violates RFCs? OH THE HORROR! Let's see if I can stir everyone else up because I have an agenda to push!
And don't forget that price differences are often overstated - sure, you can get some cheap PC hardware with superficially good specs, but there is usually some compromise in there.
Actually, I was thinking about this yesterday while considering whether I should buy a new system on which to do some heavy video editing and processing. Since I work with Final Cut Pro at school, I figured I would pick up a Mac and a copy of Final Cut Pro and be in business. Unfortunately, the kind of hardware specs I was looking for (with a 17" flat panel) cost $4,600 (this is with the high-end ATI 9700 card, because, hey, I'm looking to game with this too, remember?). This was disappointing. So, I decided to check out what was available on the x86 side of things.
I went over to Monarch Computer to check out their hardware (a side note: Monarch is a respected hardware vendor that was responsible for building the "Ultimate Linux Box" series that have become an annual feature in Linux Journal) and see what I could get. Lo and behold, I configured a dual AthlonMP 2600+ machine with the same ATI card (I want DVI output for a flat panel), same amount of RAM (2GB), same HD size (180GB), a 4x Pioneer DVD-RW drive, Intel network card and a Firewire card. That's parity with the Apple right there. However, I also was able to add an Audigy 2 sound card and get 3 years parts, labor and software support, a step above the Apple's configuration (Apple offers extended warranties and such, but they are quite expensive). Drop WinXP Pro in there, and it comes out to just a little over $2,550.
Now of course, this is also without a monitor, so I figure shelling out about $500 (Pricewatch price) for a Viewsonic VX800 flat panel (which has an additional inch on whatever's coming with the Apple). So that brings the PC total up to about $3,050. That's $1,550 less than the Apple right there, for what is undoubtedly faster hardware. With that kind of price difference, I could throw in Avid XpressDV (which is more mature and better than Final Cut Pro, and certainly has more quality third-party software support) and come out with a machine that cost me slightly more (like $50).
So, to sum things up, I could choose between the Apple, or a machine that is faster, cheaper and better-equipped for about $1,000 less when one figures in the cost of Final Cut Pro. Not to mention the wealth of games available for Windows that will never be ported to OS X.
Why would anyone game on the Mac? It's about half as fast as x86 hardware these days and I can hardly see it being able to handle a game like Doom III. Not to mention you pay about a $1,000 premium for the privilege of owning said slower hardware.
Well, I wasn't aiming to criticize the Samba team as much as I was pointing my remark at Eric Raymond's ridiculous assertion. But, yeah, you guys are only human, after all.
Why not just block Google? If you're the Chinese government, it's not like you're worried about people being angry about being unable to search with Google. Just forward your own inferior solution - no need for competition when you control the medium with an iron fist.
Are you completely fucking stupid, or just really dense? She formatted the partitions back to FAT before installing another distro so that each one would face the same conditions that she would expect the average user to face, i.e. the average user would probably be installing on a machine with FAT32 partitions. If you really had read the article, you would've seen that this was, indeed, a problem with some of the distributions she tried.
You're awfully fucking critical for someone who doesn't appear to know dick about what he's criticizing.
Yeah, and everyone could see some kind of wonderful use for having your dogfood delivered to your home via Internet orders too, but that didn't quite work out, now did it?
Please stop using Sendmail. I'm tired of my favorite IRC networks being DDOSed by machines whose administrators were too incompetent to use a real MTA.
What's the best way to represent this data? What's the best algorithm for this new task which Knuth didn't think of? What aspects of this design are going to wind up being important through the lifetime of the project?
Duh, that's what analysis is for. Knuth covers that too, in case you're wondering.
Are you seperable from electronic devices? Or do you have some kind of fucked up symbiotic relationship where if you don't have your laptop with you at all times, you'll keel over and convulse?
Please, everyone swarm to try and convince me that DivX players will be used to play something other than pirated DVD and VCD recordings. How transparent.

Yeah, welcome to the existence that Mac users have been suffering through since 10.2. It's the wave of the future!

Canada has done no such thing, you idiot. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, but you're mighty confused.
From the same people who brought you the Third Reich. Yeah, this was totally unexpected.

Yes, and it would be yours.
