There were some cries on the Xbox-Linux-devel mailing list last year saying that was illegal, and cracking the Xbox code won't do any good, since M$ can just pick up such codes and try to stop them (In most cases, If someone cracks it, M$ will start making fixed XBox's in days).
Michael Stien has documented Possible Security attacks for the Xbox. A interesting read.
Kinda like those old IBM ads shown not too long ago when the lawyer corrected the guy when he tried to mislead people (e.g:
IBM Guy: You could even alter the human genome with this.
Lawyer: "watch it" (not exact words)
)
Very funny. XP can be fairly stable and secure--if you dedicate machines to individual tasks and disable most multiuser features. Running Apache and ssh helps, too. But, compared to UNIX and Linux, XP's stability and security are still ridiculously poor. And that's not because lacks features, it's because it has too many features.
And it doesn't run on PowerPC, Sparc, Alpha (well, it use to), 680x80, StrongARM (Windows CE does).
And you can't put an old 386 back into service (thats if you want a desktop cluster for nothing).
It's a bit funny about the fact the Windows CE (.NET) wins the M$ prize for the number of platforms it runs on. A complete list can be found Here. Heck, it runs on the C3 (It might run on a desktop with a bit of hacking then!)
Do you work for any one of these agencies:
CIA, FBI, ASIO, MI5, MI6
If you do, please minus yourself of [same amount of your agencies budget] hitpoints
Hate to swear, but I think your getting my point by now.
XF86 probably doesn't know about Minix-VMD
Minix-VMD is a 32-bit version of Minix, which has X-Window support.
Sure, Andy Tannenbaum is a very unhappy person tonight, as he is the inventor of not only Minix but Amoeba.
But there are other things?, is Andy still kicking himself at his kinda pro-NT stance on Linus during "Who's OS is Better" battle several years ago where he quoted:
" The alternative is a microkernel-based system, in which most of the OS
runs as separate processes, mostly outside the kernel. They communicate
by message passing. The kernel's job is to handle the message passing,
interrupt handling, low-level process management, and possibly the I/O.
Examples of this design are the RC4000, Amoeba, Chorus, Mach, and the
not-yet-released Windows/NT."
" MINIX is a microkernel-based system. The file system and memory management
are separate processes, running outside the kernel. The I/O drivers are
also separate processes (in the kernel, but only because the brain-dead
nature of the Intel CPUs makes that difficult to do otherwise). LINUX is
a monolithic style system. This is a giant step back into the 1970s.
That is like taking an existing, working C program and rewriting it in
BASIC. To me, writing a monolithic system in 1991 is a truly poor idea."
Then Linus claimed that Minix was doing Andy brain damange. (Why did Linus bother replacing the Minix kernel with Linux in the first place, it gives the impression of "Andy/Linux" as opposed to "GNU/Linux" and even some others "NetBSD/Linux"!
Full flame war is at Google Groups
Go to your local computer store and compare Lindows OS with RedHat Linux 7.2 deluxe and Windows XP Home Upgrade.
Anyway,
I hate Lindows because it isn't really Linux
What the hell.
FreeBSD is a very reliable platform, free, open source and very stable.
FreeBSD is one of the main unices.
Linux depends on FreeBSD a lot.
Many FreeBSD apps are ported to Linux
Linux apps are ported to FreeBSD (such as KDE or Gnome).
I am even thinking of Using FreeBSD on one of My Machines.
(psst.. the reason why Microsoft was using FreeBSD/QMAIL for Hotmail in early days, because Microsoft actually acquired Hotmail!)
We got.NET for FreeBSD, why can't we get Office
[ Microsoft is afraid that people can use FreeBSD emulation to use Office on Linux ]
yes, thats correct,
We are a country which has a reputation to destroy Analog.
We killed Analog Mobile Phone and replaced it with GSM and CDMA
We're killing off Analouge TV in 2008 for Free-To-Air Widescreen Digital (We already have it). Take that Britan!
We have heaps of Computer tallent, our classroms have Computers and the list goes on.
So good for the Howard Goverment!!!!!!!!
Actually, the Australian Goverment will give you a $782 conncession if you can't get IDSN and the other alternative is Sattelite, otherwise, there is not much excuse
1) Sure, Broadband costs a fortune here, I once squeezed 8.3k/sec out of my 56k modem which was actually running at 115.200k/sec. I can tell you, if you want a broadband connection down under, you have to pay $299 Australian. I however hate users that use broadband, why? They steal my bandwith, yes, on average we can get 5.6k/sec/24hr yet at times you would'nt suspect them to be surfin' the net, the ISP let's em take the lot! I'm quite happy on my Iprimus (www.iprimus.com.au) Infinity plan for $101/3months and I don't see myself changing.
2) The goverment is on Telstra's (www.telstra.com) back to get broadband services in the bush. Yet the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commision) Is suing them for lots of things, including the Download caps on $75 DSL plans. Who said capping download on $75 DSL plans is a effective customer service measure
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder what would happen if Linux wasn't around (I belive Microsoft[TM] doesn't want any switches to Unix out of this case)
Oh, can I have Fries with that patch, maybe with tomato or bbq sauce?
What about caffiene. I can't have food without coke. Or will it just encourage me to drink more water?

Hey!, Cracking someone's code without their permission is Illegal. "Legal Bill Refund Not Included"

8.9 meg is due to all the Static linking. It would be smaller if you compile your own dyamic link port
Perhaps they can try to find out how many times they can launch a rocket at an AI player in Q3DM7 in Quake 3 instead of that?

Actually, Linux runs on > i386. Minix is the one which runs on 286's. (Get lost Bill Gates supported, Tux is lookin' for you)
Better hope those Nintendo developers go over to that university and give that researcher a good dose of Gaming!
The can GPL the AOL browser first, use standard TCP/IP instead of Its special drivers.
AOL needs RedHat because it's had enough of WinXP

Oh yeah, you's killed Ansett, our second largest airline
