That said, I like Novell.com's bravery, as they always respond to a ping. Bravery? What? google.com, news.bbc.co.uk, yahoo.com all reply. What's brave about allowing an icmp-echo-request in, and replying with an echo-response?
I ate some calcium chloride once in a chemistry lesson. Burnt my tongue. My reasoning was that calcium is less reactive than sodium, and sodium chloride is commonly eaten. Learnt my lesson though.
And Mr Jakes (Jacques?) dragged me out by my ear for that. Wonder if he reads Slashdot.
turning your firewall off deliberately is equivalent to not knowing what you're doing. Or, it makes you have to harden all open ports as you're not relying on the Armadillo approach - hard on the outside, soft on the inside. In some ways, no firewall would make you have to be more secure.
Well, if it's a choice between 1st place, and killing yourselves to achieve it, or 4th place (UK), and having a fairly good amount of holidays (27 days here, excluding public holidays), I know which one I prefer. It gives me a chance to travel around, and see the world too.
Hurrah! I just bought a Radeon X1650 Pro this weekend trusting that AMD would honour their commitment to open up the specs for their ATI cards, and I'm glad to hear about this. I'm currently running the ATI binary driver, but the sooner I can move off that, and onto something nice and open, the better.
The Court of First Instance's judgement, like the commission's before it, sees Samba as the means for competition, in the Work group server space (i.e. file servers, print servers, etc). All potential competitors to Microsoft are using Samba, (the commissions own research found that 98% of competing products in this space use Samba), so it is good that the commission and the CFI are keen to get the documentation from Microsoft in a form that open source projects such as samba can use.
Very true.
My current GFX card is on its way out - it's scrambling up characters in text mode, and doesn't provide enough output to power one of my monitors. I was certain I was going to get another NVidia - because, aside from binary drivers, it's worked the best. I can't even get Beryl running on my ATI-something at work.
However, now I'm hoping that it'll last long enough for me to see what comes of this. I don't want super top end performance - I'll take average performance with truly open drivers to super performance with closed drivers anytime.

C'mon, you can tell it's not true.
The woman in the 3rd row back gives it away.

Even on Linux where you run as a non-root user, think about running Firefox as another user.
Greek always freaks me out. It sounds (from a distance) like Spanish. The sounds, the speaking pattern.
And in any case, infrared is only slightly more penetrating that visible light,
Which is why the stop light is red - red is less attenuated by fog, smoke, etc.
New Dinosaur Species Discovery In Utah Released:
Is it called the SCOXosaur?
Or we could scrap this ridiculous requirement that you should be root to bind to low ports. It's antiquated, and serves no purpose at all.
Instead, we'd be seeing 'XP 2.0' coming out with incremental improvements
Excremental improvements?
made so miserable that quitting is the only option to retain your sanity.
Not sure where you are, but in some countries, there are laws against that.
if I start to insist on getting paid for every hour over 42h/week I work, my boss will fire me
On what grounds?

Guarantee you, you'll never notice memory leaks in Firefox again.
if you do it yourself, you can be sure that the security will not be higher than your own skill set.
Unless you fluke it. Don't laugh, it's possible.
These files are 12 days old. Aren't these the same files that were released sometime last week?

What was depicted in the movie Jurassic Park was clearly Deinonychus.
I think you'll find it was just computer generated.

We get it. But how will it affect Samba?
A person or criminal
Is a criminal not a person then?
