Neither can you claim it has not. By nature of complexity, bloat does rarely ADD security or correctness. Bloat is the correct term for all that stuff not needed in embedded world.
And as for stripped OpenBSD by Henning Brauer I would be be damn sure it is even more secure than the real thing given the context it is made for (namely removing binaries which are supposed to not be run in a given config).
The security audit got to the parts which remain the same no matter where other parts went. In fact Your point is only valid for the rare situation of actually removing stuff (e.g. from libs) that do extra checking or other "separation" work.
when do we get it? They want big partners, with which they can make big deals with big margins allowing them to subsidize other marketing campaigns (like paying DJs to play stuff). They want to control it and with too cheap to setup webradio we will just end up in chaos where everyone listens the music he likes.
Unfortunately music consumption is not about arts, aesthetics and stuff. It is about event fun, like Hockey, Baseball and Festivals.
So they want to build groups who listen to the same shit and that takes marketing and lots of money. Control is key there. Actually I think with the smaller spots offering alternative Music, that the alt music could finally bring down the entire music industry we know today, because they make 80% gross of non music products (like events, t-Shirts, Videos, collectibles). As long as webradio was a small side effect they liked it and read futer trends examining it. Now they are faced with the fact that they don't control that channel so they had to do something about it.
Somehow I hate them for their sheer power to invade my life by surrounding me with Britney Spears prints everywhere I go. Even the cutest tits running around town occasionally are convertet to penalty-spots for my eyes by that shirts. If I lose my eye-sight one day I will have to take THE MUSIC INDUSTRY to court
according to the article is: We are all saving money on imported oil and stuff.
Come on, guys! Every little bit of power produced domestically pushes the economy forward. Every petro dollar spent to import oil comes back to our warlord industry sooner or later. Making us wealthy and mighty. So bringing consumers WiFi will turn on economy, and using less than optimal electricity will do it another time. Or did any of you care about the power your CPU or Video eats up with regard to environment rather than fan noise?
Furthermore light is not exactly the most power eating energy according to peoples' mind, once they figure out what their hairdryer, dishwasher, stove, washing machine w/dryer or even heating will eat.
In Germany we have this "ready to go" and "coming the next couple months" for several years now. It is called Powerline. Due to recent rumours you still get little offs for starting e.g. a vacuum cleaner (not that I need Internet access for cleaning the house) and you are limited in the possibilities when connecting your whole appartment complex. Given that the very big company promoting it, namely RWE, considers cannelling it altogether.
Now combine this with what DSL in Germany is, mainly by the ex monopolist. We had impulse dialling phones here for a very long time (and some old people still have). They can disturb DSL traffic going over a phone line, even if as far away as "the same building" (according to Telekom Inc.). So they give you DSL lines with Interleaving and you end up with ping times of at least 60 ms.
Expect ping times of that network there to be higher.
So, slashdotters, many of You are gamers. You will lose on that line. Sad to say it out loud, but You will all die in RTCW et. al. and your only help will be: look outside your windows and remember what you see. Its name is "Ground Zero". This is New York and starting there is not the most patriotic way of launching this service if you expect gamers (as early adopters) to hop on.
what I was after is: if they want to make money with it, they would propably aim to server market or business integration.
To play around with a dell machine is somehow expensive and doesnt even burn dvds or connect to an iPod.
So come up with more ideas to make linux on dell machines useful and it will make arguing even harder. It is hard to ship a single distro for such blurry idea of a purpose, like play around.
You can make surf stations, developer workstations, servers etc all fine with linux and propably they will all look different or leave the customer with loads of config hassle.
I highly doubt they would have been able to ship a distro that suits MY needs. Except for some feature cool hardware stuff dell has (which might not be that cheap to weave into a distro) like remote admin, detect the case were open etc.
And also, guys and gals, you think a single distro by dell could go through/. unflamed?
But then again, they didnt ship OpenBSD either, even though, there is just none of that distro war (and that BSD chitchat does not count).
You forgot something: some websites wanna look good, some want to communicate content/information and some are about interaction.
The interaction is the hard part as eye candy is disrespected on/. one can also say to guess how to do the content thing is easy if you give lynx a shot.
But the interaction is hard to generalize about and the web is about that.
think of this: ever managed content through web interfaces as opposed to a really good and taylored editor? That is a long way to go, man, but no reason to lose focus. Sometimes You can only deal with that problem by making a system for Your particular audience with one particular problem to solve.
No, and I dont think flash is all that bad by itself, it has its place.
Read the Apple Human Interface Guidelines (available as a pdf from their website), think of what they argue like, almost all they say is reasoned and explained.
The only reason this is not already obvious to You is, that there is so much crap out there.
Yeah, and be cross platform (as in speech, not as in marketing lingo). The last time I had to work with that I stuck to what was rumoured to be the most standard compliant browser, though (no, that is not a Microsoft Product, but IE 5 was just tweak away from there).
Choosing a desktop on the basis of a copy and paste model. I thought people got their priorities wrong but this takes the biscuit. Copy and paste vs free and more stable...
Come on, You never faced real problems. I for myself had to get a new car, cause I couldn't close the ash tray anymore.
Need to switch to another model, that last three cars only lasted five packs of cigarettes.
I think the only way for OS X to be viable on x86 is with different pricing. Say something like $50 for no support, but $150 with support.
Yeah and lots of oh so cool CNET et.al. reporters would get the $50 version and constantly whine about it. Please remember Apple is in it for business reasons and decided to do it by maintaining the public image of their products (as they do in the themes disputes all over).
What, no Linux kernel, well let's dig out another dood who wants OS X ported to Intel and will never get what a SYSTEM is about. OS X is OS matching hardware and usability.
As soon as you stop building crap with IRQs and BIOS instead of OpenFirmware etc. they might think about it.
Until then (and likely thereafter) You will get what You pay for.
By the way, when will Porsche build front wheel driven cars, so I can pick out the engine and put it into a SMART?
If You dont want it, dont buy it, if you want it cheaper, just go ahead and make one on your own or start off with a free project and make it usable. But these silly articles about OS X in Intel dont help anybody unless Apple says something (new) about this subject.
I did something like that for a non technical project, just like You might imagine, lots of projects lack computer expertise and training.
So I held courses in Internet usage a few years ago. Better look out for languages spoken there;-)
The recipe I worked with was getting into the stuff of a project (e.g. running NGO, Office organization, medical Basics whatever you are interested in) and then approaching those who deal with that. I offered my ideas what I could be helpful for (setting up Internet access, training, consulting) a little tailored for what thought they want (not really too hard to guess).
I had no expectations which country they sent me to, just by languages I learnt (just too many years ago).
I then found an NGO who 'bought' me, sending me to a crisis region soon after (well sort of) a civil war. There were no compusa anythings round the corner, so I had to be prepared what I didn't know would expect me.
Definitely one of the best things I ever did. I later heard of www.geekcorps.org which was in way like that but I very much liked the specificness of what I did.
> 2012 is about right for the younger athletes, such gymnasts, etc if they were being born right now.
The article is very sparse on details, but some of them already went through other press.
Gene doping is not like manipulating stem cells and then clone or otherwise "create" a human being.
It is however state of the art to nurture Your own muscle cells, modify them and plant them back into your body. Thereby getting e.g. all white cells, which are the fast fibres for sprinting.
It might also be possible to "hack" and extend other organs, thus producing endogene hormones for no reason (except having not to inject artificial and traceable EPO, testosterone etc.pp.)
You just manipulate organs partly by bringing in tuned cells.
that in countries where the Athletics Assoc. IS actually forwarding who was caught on drugs will also have all those football- and base ball
player type of athletes.
This might of course help the fight against these drugs, which will be less useful, more dangerous and more easily traceable. Might be good for the health of the athletes, also.
The public (couch potato, consumers etc.), who actually pays for the professionalism will never really care. Or have you ever heard of a 1 or 2 year long penalty on an competitor in the 3 most paying sports? Or a life time ban on those repeatedly caught?
Side note: profits go down with every abuse scandal, so you better not look too much into
them body liquids.

Yeah, go to sourcefourge and start a project OpenVBVirus. That just waits to be sent a virus to and activates, e.g. a Klez-Module (or plugin).
You could send out warnings, complaints to ISPs, start altering data and retransmit to fill up their databases.
Possibilities are endless. And we possibly could grind those nimda/codered log-file fillers to a halt as they run on unpatched machines, too?
Ok, just kidding, but I think the future is positive lists of senders to come in and challenge the rest for reading a replied msg from your bot.
like http://tmda.net/index.html
No, actually if You, Mic Bag, had such a fine control over Your mouth by that altered gene, we would make pr0n vids with You rather than food ads.

/etc/master.passwd is *NOT* readable by users. /etc/passwd is only for single user boot.
But: nidump isn't even suid or sgid, but netinfod is running as root and suspect to spill the beans.
chmod go-rwx `which nidump` therefor would not help either, as any user can grab a binary from elsewhere.

actually it could be a virus adding
127.0.0.1 slashdot.org
to your hosts file, but that just turns one DoS into another.
On the other hand, we could just outlaw servers going down from too much load....
was it oh so hard to not put them news in vCards, but that clumsy ID3 tags?
Come on, this aint no BECAUSE WE CAN thing. Except if that PERL script actually ran on the iPod itself. That'd be cool.
And I think there is a newsticker thingie out on versiontracker doin it with vcards.
You can still buy a computer magazine in Germany with an AOL CD and use that 100 hours free offer one or two times.
Sorry, you have to uninstall your american AOL software for that.
..., folks, to re encrypt yer private files, that floated around the net for years with larger keys, before they....

But then again, they didnt ship OpenBSD either, even though, there is just none of that distro war (and that BSD chitchat does not count).
It means they're handling a TON of transactions, having dissatisfied customers as a result is GUARANTEED.
As for me it is about the HOW they were dissatisfying. And now dont tell me they had to do THAT!
Whatever... all the money is going straight to the wedding pot.
Sure about that? Lets ask the bride to confirm. Otherwise I suspect it is going to the bachelor party...
Whats more important?
