I lost my account, cos they use one number, and a password, and something else. Why can't their accounts be email addresses, or something I can choose. Bah.
That will make it easier to convince people to give Linux a try.
Nope. People that dual boot to give Linux a go, never really reboot. Cold turkey is the only way. Backup data. Wipe, format, install, and restore data. Set up browsing, mail, messaging, etc. Learn the differences. Away they go.
Erm, that is a lot, unless you're looking after a class B or something. You must have something else going on there. You signed up with a Chinese hacking contest site or something?
You didn't say mirror the entire machine. You said move my files and settings.
If you want to make machine b work exactly like machine a, one wonders what the point of it is? But if you really need to, backup, and restore on the new machine. Or put both hard drives in one machine, and dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb. Or rsync -va / root@newmachine:/ or one of lots of solutions. And your tar cf - ~ | ssh newmachine "cd/home && tar xfv -" shows that you have plenty enough skills to work all this out for yourself:)
Well you pay that whole bunch of guys to spend time working on it, and then you can give it away to the community.
I'm not trying to argue - but you have to see that working hard, poring over obsolete documentation, dumps of data for no payback has got to be hard. Especially when not that many people will use the ntfs write function. How many people dual boot (don't forget to count all the servers in this) ? 5%? And how many of them --need-- to write to that NTFS partition? 5% of that 5%?
and then my friends wonder why we have such a massive chip on our collective shoulder.:)
Were you around then? Has this affected you personally?
I mean, using the same logic as you, I should in that case be angry with the French, Spanish, Germans, Romans, Vikings, etc, etc. But none of them have ever done anything to me in my lifetime, so why should I have any problem with them?
People are just people. We all like the same things.
Yep. emerge kde and go to bed.
You don't have to watch it actually compile, you know.
You also don't have to upgrade it every time a new ebuild comes out.
And I quote: created a company to sell their DOS version
Do you see what's different between the free version you get in the kernel, and the version you are talking about?
Three things Gentoo needs IMHO.
1. "cryptographically signed" updates, not simple MD5s.
2. A better way than their silly etc-update script for updating files
3. A "default", a "security", and a "bugfix" update tag, so I could choose to only have to update ebuilds on my machine when there was a security or bugfix related issue. I mean, if App v2 has a problem until 2.22.53, then I need to update it if I am running anything less, right? If it's just a newer version, I don't want to know about it.
Then the answer is yes. Reiserfs for lots of small files, XFS for lots of big files or its nice ACLs, and ext2 for that/boot partition. Ext3 over my dead slow body.
More importantly, is XFS in there by default? I haven't tried it since about 2.5.59. It's annoying when patches made for vanilla 2.4 don't apply on 2.4 + XFS. If the vanilla kernel came with XFS, those patches would be made against that, and would apply.
That's very interesting. I just SSHd into a box at work, and telnetted to port 80 - boom, there it was. I'm not at all worried about anyone on my box at home - but maybe my cable subnet has been blocked. Aaah well, I don't really care.
Yes, but not because of Apache. It's because of people who don't properly handle data coming in from the user, etc. It's a tool that is used most dangerously, most often.
Well, that could apply to anything. I could bind/bin/sh to a port running as root via inetd, and that would be a big problem.
I know there was one in Bind8 last year. I'm not sure of any more recent with 8 or 9, though.
But who the hell uses 8 any more?:) (Cue lots of people praising djbdns...)
The 3rd highest vulnerability to Unix is Apache?
That's just crazy. OpenSSL and OpenSSH are having lots more problems right now. And Bind? When was the last remotely exploitable problem with that?

Duh! Don't you know anything? Linus 2.6 is the most stable OS ever. A man at the pub told me, and he works in IT selling computers, and I believe him.
Great! That means it's really stable now. I shall upgrade the fw at work to this tomorrow. DNS and mailserver as well.

I haven't been able to get to dshield.org or isc.sans.org for ages now - a few months - with, or without a slashdotting. Any one else?

Or am I reading a list from 5 years ago?
You guys over there need to start taking up your arms against stupid laws.
