    You'd think someone would have done that by now...

    The OS could emulate the BIOSes DRM.

  8. Will this affect me? on Phoenix Bios to Incorporate DRM · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression Linux overrode the BIOS. So, does this affect Linux users at all? Also, does this restrict what software you run, or is just a key storage area?

  9. Is this really a problem? on New Dell Clickthrough Software License · · Score: 1

    If you aren't given the EULA, how can you be bound to its conditions? Would it be enforcable?

    Among other things, the manner in which they reject mail from residential IPs causes it to languish in the queue, rather than bouncing as it should if they intend to permanently refuse delivery.

    Quoth RFC 821:

    4yz Transient Negative Completion reply

    The command was not accepted and the requested action did not occur. However, the error condition is temporary and the action may be requested again.
    [...]
    5yz Permanent Negative Completion reply

    The command was not accepted and the requested action did not occur. The sender-SMTP is discouraged from repeating the exact request (in the same sequence).

    Read your references before using them, please.
  14. Re:so instead of spamming.. on Spammer Ducks For Cover · · Score: 1
    Unfortunately my spider program was going pretty slowly since I couldn't get asynchronous I/O to work properly, so I abandoned the idea.

    Good to see it sticking to its original goals, then.

  24. Re:The farther they take this on SCO Wants $699 for Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    Personally, if they do, I'll probably switch to *BSD. But I have 10 copies of SCO Linux SRPMS, licenced under the GPL, so I'm safe. Also, if this is proven, it'll be out of the kernel in minutes. So, either way, we're fine.
