Your right, it does sound like a wonderful protocol.
Just a shame we don't have a decent program that uses this protocol. Personally - I'm waiting until RH 9.0 hits the mirrors in a week or two, even then I might not bother.
After all, most business applications work beautifully over citrix.
My company uses citrix. Most applications do work, but nothing works 'beautifully'. It's very slow, it crashes, Sometimes it takes over 30 seconds to log into a service desk type application. The same application takes at most 3 seconds on a laptop.
Maybe it's not citrix thats at fault. Maybe it's the way my place set up the citrix servers, but I know I won't even consider working anywhere else that uses citrix.
Citrix has been nothing but a painful experience for me.
It seems the net is under constant attack these days.
Its design purpose and its ideals of freedom of information are under constant attack.
No problem though. It can be secured from those who would destroy it by simply cutting every wire connected to america. And the satellite links. And the phone lines.
I'd like to see more stories like this on slashdot. It would be nice if we could spend more time contemplating real science and less time bashing microsoft.
I for one spend to much time being bitter at microsoft and not enough doing interesting things.
Spammers spam because they make money out of it, they are not just doing it because they hate you. All we as a community have to do is to make sure it isn't profitable. If someone wants to sell you something they have to leave you some contact details. Use these to waste THEIR time.
Tell them you want to buy their rubbish and send them a cheque for zero cents.
Send emails to their webmaster saying their site doesn't work with IE4, Netscape, Mozilla, whatever. (use a fake address)
Write a loop in your favourate language to reload their website once a minute.
Fax them the same sheet that just says "F**K YOU"
a few hundred times. Use reverse font to waste their ink.
If everyone on slashdot went out of their way to waste just a little time, bandwidth or money from a spammer every day or two it would really hurt their profit margins.
And no, they won't take you to court for pissing them off. They are in it for the money, not to prove a point.
Slashdot Mirror
Not just bad april fool postings, but duplicate bad april fool postings.
This april fool stuff is a stupid tradition, can we have an end to it now?
They should rethink the slashdot subtitle on
april the first.
How about:
Slashdot - bad jokes for nerds. Stuff someone made up for a giggle.
Is anyone else sick to death of all this april the first BS?
It's just not funny any more.
Next year I'm not even opening a web browser.

Fantastic. You can now use a beta quality windoze client to download RH9.0
I think I'll wait until RH9.0 hits the ftp mirrors then go and trash my box with anything as lame as windoze.
What is slashdot coming to?
A lot of people here seem to think this is a good thing, that iraqi troops can monitor GPS signals and this is giving them an advantage.
Rubbish.
Isn't it more likely that the US army don't want the outside world to hear any news from Iraq that they haven't filtered?
Try news.co.nz for news not CNN, you get a better view of world events.
Enterprise-class??
Great, I'll bear it in mind if I ever build a starship.
I know I've read this before and the copyright says (c)1996.
How could this be called news??
The first port I blocked was EVERY port,
I then enabled the things I really needed.
By default you should always deny everything you don't need, even ssh has had remotely exploitable bugs.
Stanley Feinbaum, professional journalist and master debater! Karma = excellent
Your a funny guy.
Just because you don't know how to use it doesn't mean it isn't any good.

And it would free up a few class A's.
Mod me down now.
So what you are saying is his house comes with a spam problem, so it now has a lower sale value.
In what way is this a problem?
As you sow so shall you reap.

Your home computer is a pretty dumb device...
Hey! I use Linux.
There is a simple way to beat spam.

KDE, GNOME, Office Applications... A jedi craves not these things.
Seriously, They are ports or packages. Stuff like that should not be part of the base operating system.
So don't put development kernels on production machines.
If you go bleeding edge don't moan when you bleed.
First Post!!!
Right!
Bring back the Atari ST instead, at least it came with MIDI sockets
How about forbidding American corporations from trading censorware goods or services to these "repressive governments," wouldn't that be a good start?
You want to make the world a more free place by banning stuff? Thats wrong.
We are going to get freedom by making encryption freely avalible. Not by banning filtering systems.

Wow! intel have finally made something thats 30 times slower than my firewall.
Well done Intel.
I agree.
But no other system seems to work.
