You want me to repeat what everyone knows? Embedded markets prefer the BSD license because of its convenience (not being forced to release the OS code in some meaningful format is cheaper) and to protect themselves (if they make changes, nobody needs to know about them).
This is not entirely true. DEC used NetBSD as the basis for a handheld several years ago. Instead of jus tshipping NetBSD, they treated it as an embedded OS and was able to spend more time focusing on the interface than the entire OS. It should be noted that the BSD license is far superior to the GPL with respect to embedded systems.
Actually, you can prove that the sun is the center of the Universe (for a narrow definition of "Universe"). I'll leave the details to you, but redefine "Universe" and "visible Universe" and you are half-way there.:)
I design electronics CAD systems. You can be pretty sure that you won't be seeing a port of my product to BSD until there's a concept of manners in the BSD crowd.
I agree. This attack is nearly the work of science fiction (think Independence Day and similar). Hughes showed an incredible ability to run the attack stealthly and brilliant without ever hiding anything. This was amazing.
Of course, Abbie Hoffman suggested pasting bircks to business reply cards in his seminal work Steal This Book. But to kill too birds with one stone, try gluing the silly AOL CDs to them and then drop them in a blue postal box.
I think this can be generalized a bit: Your CIO runs IS and your CTO rus R&D. Now, there should be a close working relationship between these departments but they also need clear boundaries.
NetBSD can't go out of business. It isn't a business. OpenBSD is still sought after by everyone needing the most secure system ever. And FreeBSD wasn't bought.
As a member of WELL and other online communities, I want to point out that the WELL are a bunch of late comers to the arena. The concept of the virtual community was first truly explored at the University of Michigan during the late 70s! At the same time Ward Christiansen and Randy Suess were starting to explore the BBS on their CP/M machines and by 1983, the world's first open Unix BBS (and probably the oldest still functioning BBS), M-Net, was founded in Ann Arbor by Marcus Watts and Mike Meyers. Watts sold his software to Network Technologies Inc. who then started Arbornet in Ann Arbor. Only after Arbornet (Arbornet merged with M-Net in 1990) was a total financial failure did Larry Brilliant get together with the Whole Earth Catalog to found the WELL. The WELL gets far more credit than it deserves in discussions of virtual communities
Until you actually know the history of the virtual community, you will never understand it.
Some projectes like the EFF and KDE are well known and are rolling in money. There are other projectes like Arbornet.org and Cyberspace.org which are living off the day to day donations of users. I am sure these organizations would be able to utilize the donations a lot better since they have a $0 dollar overhead and no paid employees.
Wait, this is a bit unfair. Work on Lites stopped in 1994. And work on SunOS and Ultrix stopped before then. These are dead ends. NeXT also the foundation of both Darwin and MacOSX.

It's so nice to see kids using a wooden bat. These days, it's all aluminum-this and George W.-that.

At least this can get rid of the openssh.org vs. openssh.com complaint...
Taco posted the story at 1424, and I am reading it at 1439. But the weird thing is that Hemos's update is timestamped at 1618. How'd he do that?

Good idea. Throw away potential business!

If the file was modified at all, it must remain a module unless all the authors agree to the change.
Noh, what's odd is that we all laughed and wondered how it could have been stolen and screwed up so badly in the process. :)

Someone should point out that subscriptions to the print edition are available through the DaemonNews website.
Malda and I have argued via email before about that. He is simply full of shit.

He was military in the 60s.
John Glenn is military.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek
What troubles at WC?
FreeBSD went out of business
How can a nonprofit go out of business?
BSDI who sell another troubled OS.
BSDi has a troubled product? I thought their only products were BSD/OS version which make money hand over fist.
Cyberspace is a owrthy charity I mentioned in the item today about geek charities and this is why.

POP3 is working now.
That looks like a mistake. They used to and should. I'll point it out to the staff.
Shell access is a part of M-Net's service.
