Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
So if they go mad, and make version 3 one that allows anyone to do anything they like without having to release their changes....
Of course, there is a little proviso that says:
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
but that wording is very wooly. What does similar in spirit mean?
Hey, thanks for the plug man;)
We've managed to get binary files transferred successfully now. And you never know who the sender is. You up for trying it out sometime wth us?
No, a properly configured router will only block packets that don't appear to come from that network. That still gives you a lot of addresses to chose from.
Thanks for the modding - it's not for the karma, I'm capped already.
But each time we get a link modded up on Slashdot, we get lots of offers of help, which speeds things up a whole load. Thanks, mods.
Devfs is an over-engineered solution to a non-existant problem...
Yeah sure, when you're installing Linux from scratch, with no connectivity to anywhere, and you have to try and remember what the major and minor numbers for/dev/cciss/c0d0p5 are, it's so easy.
That's devfs. If you don't use that, they'll all be normal (hda, sdb, fd0, etc).
At least it wasn't mandatory as of 2.5.69 anyway.
Why isn't devfs the default now - it's been working fine for ages - for me anyway.

Thanks for reminding me about that - I need to log in and register a few of my Redhat machines being converted to Gentoo...

Isn't that the start to a Kylie song?
"Is it in my imagination, there is no hesitation..."
Watch Kylie french-kiss Geri from the Spice girls.
No, because you have messed up big time in public. Hang your head in shame, and never try this again, as it is well out of your league.
Just search for it.
I guess alcohol and nicotine fall into the "no known medical use" catagory though.
Offtopic? Stupid mods. Tumbleweed, have a "virtual" mod point from me.
Mozilla is an X11 library? Weird nomenclature....
/usr/bin/ for user binaries, I say.
Broadcast-type mechanisms and spoofed UDP packets.
It's dirty, and tricky, but it works.

Please mod me up - we need help with this project. Please get in touch if you can code, or have ideas, or comments.
In Soviet America, TIA trolls YOU!
(However, I believe the word is trawl. As in a trawler.)
Submit a patch - even I could probably write that one :)
But the gentoo-sources package has so many patches all crammed into 1 that I won't be moving soon. Crypto, IPsec, Grsec, and many others.
Perhaps if you have never heard of something, you can't go looking for information on it.
Should help though
http://gk.umtstrial.co.uk/~calum/2.5-kernel/
Might update it if I get a few hits.
Yep, it's called mkreiserfs.
How long has 2.6.0 been out again...? :)
Never heard of this... Do go on...

I want the patch referenced at number 30 here. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&r=1&b =200307&w=2

Amazing - I already metamodded a mod on this comment. That's not much of a backlog, is it? :)
Steve French:
o NTLMv2 password support and NTLMSSP signing part 1
o ntlmssp signing
o More NTLMv2
I don't understand - why is this in the kernel? No entiendo.
You can never have too many grandmothers with huge penises, can you? Or something.
