I find your comments about the cost of XP rather interesting. The XP Home upgrade can be purchased for 99.00 at any retail store. THe pro version is 199.00.
If you fancy yourself a new computer you can get an oem copy of XP PRO fro around 149.00. I am assumming that you are building your computers.
When you look at the cost of software the OS is very very cheap compared to other sofware packages. Symantec wants between 45 and 60 bucks for a virus scanner!
So lets be reasonable and say that a hundred or so bucks for an Operating system is a good deal.
After reading most of the post in this thread I think everyone missed the point of the article. It's not a flaw in a particular OS or routing protocol it's a flaw in the way data is transported across a network segment. Thinks that require a constant connection for long periods of time for instance are particularly vulnerable.
For example to simplify if you make a phone call to someone and get cutoff you must redial and start from where you left off in the conversation. In this situation you would have to start the conversation all over again because when a tcp connection gets reset all data that has been transferred must be resent from the beginning.
According to a bill passed in 1997 providers cannot prevent you from keeping "your" number, if you choose to change providers. This bill has been in effect for sometime now for wired numbers and the wireless equivalence has just taken effect in the top 100 U.S. Markets. To me this says that verizon cannot stop you from doing whatever you wish with your number. If i owned the number i would transfer it to another C-lec (Competitive Local exchange carrier) so fast it would make verizon's head spin just to piss them off.
You should bid the project out in it's entirety then sub-contract it to india for 1/5 what they are paying you.
They get their project
Some indian Programmer gets paid a great wage for his market
You get your cut and can do something else:) EVERYBODY WINS!!!!!:)
Valve could certainly find the one responsible quickly if they took the soup nazi approach and said
NO GAME FOR YOU!!!!!
Seriously, a threatened public postponement in the name of catching the person who leaked the code of the game would certainly create a flurry of interest in catching the responsible party.
One thing that I've noticed is that interfaces of all sorts desktop, office suites, software, Development tools etc. Have added so many buttons, icons, shortcuts, hotkeys, "right-click menus" etc. That it's easy to forget to look for an obscure command or feature in a plain `old menu. A user's eyes can be diverted away and towards certain things on the screen. This over time this can lead to a change in where their eye's naturally look searching for something.
Just a little interesting thing that I've noticed after doing user testing on applications.
I thought i had read about this before in wired.

I ask that you please forgive my silly newbie question, but i cannot help but ask why you have to pay for client license when I though anything-open source was free or almost free and all you had to pay for was support.
Anyone that can clear this up I would appreciate it.
Moreover they only cut the P2P programs to 5mbs seems like it would make most of us cable users drool. I remember when I lived on campus I was lucky to get the 60mb cap they have now.
I dont think that this is an unfair system at all.
Please forbgive my linux newbiness but i though odd numbered kernals were only experimental or unstable? If this is the case is it still usable under mission critical apps such as web servers etc?
Go ahead, just *try* saying it out loud: "0.13 microns process". That 's' rolls off the tongue like an anvil. There is a diffrence between the two. When used at the end of a sentance it should be said as 0.13 microns. But when it's used as an adverb modifying the word process. It the (s) should be left off.
Please disregard any gramatical errors i have made in this correction of one.:)
Sun has always been arrogant. Howver their stuff is pretty good. I recall when they were really cracking on bill and the ibm guy. Lets hope they are not showing weakness now.
Ok, we as the arrogant humans that we are are assuming that aliens not only can understand our language (english, french, german, or whatever) but also that they use and will interperite the binary system.
If we want to contact other races why not send out the most unnatural most interfering em (electro magnetic) noise we can. Make it far reaching. Send out probes that only send out the most destrubing noise we can muster. This would most likely provoke attention and cause the finder to look for a source of this disruptive noise.
while it sounds nice it's inplausable. That amount of data cannot be compressed beyond each unique charachter + compression data. Unless long repeating strings appear. Of course then it would not be random.
P.S. FIRST POST WOOHOOO!!!
If mankind were in danger of an asteroid what could we do? Many movies have tackled this entertaining plot. Hoever could nukes deflect or destroy one? Is there another technology that could save all of the human race? If anyone has background in this area or knows anything this is a good place to start writing about it.
Linux has the potential to take over a small share of the enthusiast desktop marker. However standardizaion needs to occur and one window manager needs development to the point of having all the niceties that microsoft but without the bugs and secutriy holes. Which one will take over?

Why not just ask Captain Planet what he thinks?
