100% agree man, I was at ThePlanet and Rackshack and Rackspace before that and at each one of those hosts it was a constant to have tons of boxes on your network brute forcing because they had already been rooted. Granted this wasn't just brute force, they would often exploit holes in SSH, Apache (being the most common I would say), and similar services.
I find this article suspect because I know full well these boxes (mine too at one point) were part of choreographed DOS attacks perptrated by an individual. This was in 2000 or 2001 and until I quit running boxes in those locations in 2005 I continued to see it happen.
If you think for one second that if a major company was to switch to OSS the savings would be passed onto you, you are wrong. Also keep in mind that the same things you cite as costing YOU money provide jobs and the money YOU spend provides yet even more jobs. That's how the world turns "my friend" (couldn't resist haha).
"People" don't pay it, businesses do. It just shows how clueless you are about software costs in the Enterprise. I guess you just assume that since you can download a copy of XP or Vista Enterprise off of a torrent it must be "cheap".
Check into pricing for ANY of the major Enterprise apps, 41,000 for all of the CALs isn't shit.
You need SharePoint to do that now... This guy obviously is out of the loop. Also the last time I checked while a business CAN use Google Docs, that isn't the business solution.
Sounds like a troll report, nothing else.
What many of these guys and gals are pissed off about is that many companies have gone through the trouble of fixing bugs and not shared the fact that the bug existed in the first place or the actual fix.
I think people in general don't understand what many of these people are pissed off about. If you spent days and weeks of your spare time tracking down a bug and fixing it only to find out shortly there after that company x had a patch 4 months ago you would be a little pissed off.
You're missing the point. ALL GAMES AND ALL APPLICATIONS are pirated. Like it or not that is how it's always been.
THEY SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED IT.. THIS IS NO SURPRISE thus not worth the publicity.
If every game and every app that was released on a daily bases got a post crying do you realize that there would be between 50-200 of them a day? This ISN'T NEWS!
"Sort logs by date" in what sense? Presumably something other than sorting by clicking on the title of the "Time" column if it's configured to display absolute time or absolute date and time
I was reffering to the actual OPEN process.;)
There are 3 things that piss me off to no end when using Ethereal.
1) I can't sort logs by date (this drives me insane) 2) I can't open more than one trace per session. 3) It doesn't put the trace into memory. Every time you apply a new filter it re-reads the damn file!:(
I've been using SnifferPro for about 4 years now and while it has its drawbacks I would say the inclusion of the above 3 options has more than paid for itself;)
The one thing all sniffers lack that is needed is a quick and easy method to take notes. I'm constantly jotting down reminders, line #s, and ips on sticky notes. GIVE ME COPY & PASTE!
note: It's been called SnifferPro since I started using it.

Exactly, the OP is a clueless kid.

Like you have any financial documents... What do you keep track of your allowance?
The part you forgot to mention is that you saved it in .doc from OOO to begin with.

Actually multi-core was offered to Apple by IBM years and years ago (6+ maybe), but Apply turned it down.
It would appear it sucks brains as well there skippy. gj

Like this is the first game to be pirated. These guys are idiots if they didn't see this coming.
This post is like telling us that it is going to be dark out tonight.

I must have missed the US/UK carpet bombing I guess....
