'The government's cybersecurity chief has abruptly resigned after one year with the Department of Homeland Security, confiding to industry colleagues his frustration over what he considers a lack of attention paid to computer security issues within the agency.
He was also heard to say "linux is teh l33t and m$ feerz their mad penguin sk1llz".
For those that wonder what this is about, like I did, this page explains it. It's bascially a distributed caching system that anyone can use.
You just go to www.sitename.com.nyud.net:8090/rest/of/uri/
Companies that sell reports (Gartner) stand to make more money when they write whatever the people paying the $700 for the reports want to read.
Is this PHBs just wanting to stick their fingers in their ears, point at this report, and say, La la la, no, you can't run Linux, it's bad.?
It will be priced £5,999 (UK), $7,999 (US) and 8,000 (Europe).
Gaaad. With a GBP/USD exchange rate of almost 2:1, it should be about £3,999. We get stiffed. Again. I bought an EOS300D, and I was thinking about going over the US to get it. If it wasn't for the warranty issues, I would have. And that was only to save £200, (when the flight costs were taken out).

No, I am not calling him a troll because I don't agree with what he says - just the types of words he uses to emphasise his point. Today we have frequent kernel panics and X server flakiness, gigantic frameworks for desktop environments and gigabyte sized base installs
I think if you look again at the adjectives he uses, you'll agree that they're designed to sound as horrific as possible. frequent, flaky, gigantic. If he really has all these problems, and he's not a troll, I'll be happy to hire out my services to him for a fee so I can consult for him.
I've always wondered if it would be best if all.tar.bz2/rpms/exe/whatever files of ANY packages affected by security flaws should be deleted, and removed from all mirrors.
This would prevent anyone from installing an insecure version again, and anyone that really insisted on keeping an old version around (for special systems on isolated networks for example) would keep their own copies of the software that they installed on the system.
What do you people think of that idea?
I'm looking to upgrade my 2x333 Mhz box which does pretty much everything. Yep, I know, it's way old. And I run Gentoo on it too. How crazy am I? Anyway, I was speccing up the latest and greatest, including AMD64s, but I thought, wait. Why bother going for all that power? I might as well go lower power, save money on the chip, save money on the electricity bill. What chips are there that are 1.5-2Ghz that don't need fans?, or that are really lower power?
I think by now, that if people don't "get" security, they'll never "get" security. We all know about patching, firewalling, decent passwords, etc, etc, but some people just choose to ignore it.

Google being the technical geeky company it is should go IPv6. It wouldn't be hard for them, and it would signal the start of the main stream sites adopting it. I've used IPv6 for a couple of years now. I always compile in support for it, and always add dual DNS records for all my servers. Grab a tunnel from a tunnel broker, and you're playing on the IPv6 net. Which is nice and friendly at the moment - much like IPv4 was 25-30 years ago, I would imagine.
I have an Orange Novatel Merlin card plugged in right now, and it's pretty good. I every wrote a HOWTO in case people were having trouble getting connected, but it just looks like ttyS1 to me. Saves all that faffing around installing drivers for Windows.

Hogger is quite a common name over there then?

It's interesting that dilemma simply means 2 (di) lemmas.

MyISAM doesn't. InnoDB does. InnoDB has transactions too. Having said that, I do prefer Postgres.
This is the puppy`mentioned in the second page: www.mthigh.com. :)
"No uptime is currently available for www.mthigh.com". Awwww - shame
Yeah, there's a project where I work, where they run MySQL, Apache, and PHP - all on Windows. You have to wonder.

They're not going to fix it, but they've admitted it's a bug.
Therein, ladies and gentlemen lies the beauty of closed source.
I think I speak for many people here when I say: TROLL.
Snipped from the current gaim ebuild:So, if there was a flag that kept causing problems, they'd just remove it in the ebuild for the compile. More Gentoo FUD.
Pah. Windows only. It's not like it's the prevalent OS, is it? Although they give away the source code. Overall, D-, but B for trying.
