I think it's good to see another branch of BSD, not just a fork. I think Darwin has real potential to be something great in the BSD world. Just needs a little time to mature. Does anyone know it's strengths over other forms of BSD?
I am a OpenBSD fan, but I think that it doesn't get as much stage time for things other then a firewall. I use OpenBSD to run a webserver for my company, and an LDAP server. Granted I'm not running a high profile server, but it still gets the job done nicely, plus it's very secure. OpenBSD is a great firewall, but it also excells in many other aspects of serving...
What I'm wondering is if any of these new copy protected cds will have any sort of notice on them, of if Best Buy is going to just start throwing them in with the rest unmarked. I would at least like to know if I'm not going to be able to use it in my computer. I'm just hoping that they don't start tossing them in and try to eradicate the old ones in the shelf. Only time will tell I guess....
Have you ever looked at Oracle or DB2 both are far superior database solutions to Microsoft SQL. I say use the right tool for the job, if you don't have tons of users hammering the database all the time MySQL, but for something larger try the big players
I've found that the online auction world is rewarding, but sometimes not worth the effort. For the most part I've have fine dealings. But I won't buy items that are very expensive ($350+) unless it's from a reputable dealer or in person. Ironicly the most of my problems that I've had on Ebay and others have been from the trusted sellers with tons and tons of feedback. They are slow to ship and have lost my money in the past.
I wonder what the computing power of SETI@home is. Could such a thing be done with a distributed system across home machines? If a program like this was run on people's computers who had broadband it might be possible to do something similar. The military could even use a system such as this. Since no one has all the program data no secrets would be let out. Everyone is just doing small computations that a larger computer somewhere puts together to make something useful. Hmm......
This could quite possibly be one of the coolest ideas ever. Not that it would actually serve a point, but then again this is comming from the person who has like 9 computers and people wonder if they all actually have real uses.....I'm a fan, now if I only had $4000.
Sometimes firsthand knowledge from other living people can never be replaced by a book. If you're looking for more then an overview of the technology and want a specific problem solver try mailing lists, or talking to people in the profession. This book isn't a troubleshooting guide.

I feel that in the best interest of ICANN you should turn over control to me. I am the best man for the job because I will give people want they want. I plan on rolling out TLDs like.thissucks.lotsoffreepornhere.tryingtoripyo uoff.thisinfoisnotreal etc. I run a server farm of 386s which I have been told are the top of the line. I also live in a rural area where my internet connection tops out at 19.2 baud, I think this should be enough to service requests. Hopefully you will consider my application. I look forward to talking to you in the next few weeks.
On their site on the contributions page this guy points to the FreeBSD project and the picoBSD project. I'm glad to see this, give credit where credit is deserved. Nice work on his part, and send some of the money back to the FreeBSD guys so they can keep up the great work they're doing. Props guys...
I'm really glad to see this finally being included into the main archive. I'm also glad to see that they consulted legal sources before charging into any of this. Hopefully they will keep integrating cryptography into the distro more as time goes on. Keep up the good work guys.
I don't know about you but I always buy cds, ecause the RIAA always knows what's best for me. They even know what cds i'm going to like and put those out on the front racks so i don't even have to walk far once i'm in the store
There are a few ways I can see this being played out...
1. The spammer uses cell phone email. This would be like the current email spam, in which the cell phone user would just receive tons of spam mail to their phone's email box. I'm not sure but this might already be available.
2. Text messaging spam. In some phones that I know of users can receive text messages. I think there were a bunch of verizon commercials about this a while back. But companies would send tons of messages to the phone, much like spam email but in the text message form. If this happens I can see lots of people just turning this feature on their phone off.
3. Telemarketing Spam, this is where the spammer makes a voice call to your phone, or a computer calls you. Both would be equally annoying if you get them the same volume that email spam is received right now. The thing is this is already available. I'm sure if you start listing your cell phone number on a bunch of forms you'll start to get telemarketing calls around 5pm each day on your cell phone. I'm guessing most people would treat these calls the say way that they treat telemarketers right now, just hang out on them.
well hopefully this doesn't catch on, it seems as if it wouldn't be as free to do this sort of spam...
Actually there is something like that around me. It's called Full Circle Group. I'm in cincinnati ohio (USA). I go volunteer each week with them, their goal is to give the PCs away to schools, but we get tons of stuff like tonight i was helping cause we're getting a shipment of 600 laptops from the IRS, basically they give the stuff to the schools first, but if you're helping out you can get hardware too. My linux users group here got a SparcCenter 2000 and a SparcCenter 2000E from them totally free, here are some pics if you want to see them here. If you're in the cincinnati area feel free to email me at my school address and i'll get you more info.
I think a couple points need to be made. I'm a avid linux user, OpenBSD user and FreeBSD user. I also have a win98 box laying around. But I think when migrating to BSD most linux users don't realize that the GNU utils arn't there anymore. This is a big thing, same with the bash shell. Another point to be made is that for webserving FreeBSD is about as fast as you can get. If you want high loads and need to serve up lots of info FreeBSD is the answer.
Is WINE really necessary for Linux growth in the desktop area? I believe that Linux has enough of it's own apps native to the OS that we don't need to go out and run all the windows apps out there. From my experience Linux apps might be a little harder to set up, but eventually once they're running they're much more stable and more reliable then the windows counter-parts. Granted there are a few things I'd love to see work better in Linux like digital cameras but in time I have a feeling that will all be coded over.
This is kinda off topic, but I know at my school here they just recently limited the KazaA traffic with a packet shaping program. Kinda crazy, I doubt it will actually limit how many people use it, but they're trying. In my experience there's always been a way to get files. At first it was FTP, then iMesh, then Audiogalaxy, then BearShare, then Morpheus(KazaA). Once each one is shut down a new one pops up. The courts should give up, the cat's out of the bag, why try to stop it now?

10 posts and it's ./ed already. Maybe someone needs gigabyte ethernet on the other end of the connection......

can't wait till someone uploads the RIAA's anthem, then we can all pirate it and burn it to cds/dvds....

Not to bad had some really good comments, OTOH some of his ideas should have died with garcia though....

geez, it's finally good to see coporate american not winning for once.....
I don't believe it's safe, therefore to protect myself I'm going to walk everywhere now instead of using hijackable transportation...
