If I'm recalling correctly, wasn't there a note or article they would be tracking patch history even more fervently then they already have.
So far as I know, every patch tracks back to someone in the kernel, but I'm not aware of how well a patch is documented that comes via a proxy dev. (ie dev looks it over, adjusts it and submits it).
Code in question has even been tracked back to SCO/Caldera when they were in a supportive mood.
The only thing they have ever mentioned of worth is maillist reply that it was counter-productive to research what patents kernel features might infringe upon. That's really a difficult one to work out and I'm not sure who would have the resources to do such a project.
There is of course, PCI Express video cards out there...
However, I think reviews indicated the new PCI Express video cards were not quite taking full advantage of the new bus.
It's quite understandable.
In any event, I'm not one to ride to the forefront of technological changes. I'll wait for the bugs and performance issues to get ironed out and then look at upgrading next summer.
The same thought occurred to me... well it occurrs to me everytime I sit down to clean out a system.
In fact, Symantec might whine about virus attacks and spread all the paranoia they can to boost sales, but in the end all they really need to do is revamp their product to include a spyware/malware scanner.
Why not, it's your system and if you don't want their crap on there it is your right to remove it.
So yeah, currently all systems in the user reign of terror usually have adaware and spybot in addition to at least AVG (free).
While the number seems a bit high... I'm not really sure what they are counting in that study. I've seen systems with an incredily high number and those systems have been unusuable.
It's crazy... it's sad when your business model reflects that of a virus.
Once again they have forgotten the almighty pimpbot.
"The man, the myth, the pimp. This is the PimpBot 5000. He combines the classic sensibilities of a 1950's robot with the dynamic flare of a 1970's street pimp."
I can't believe he won't be included.

Solely broadcast (UHF), but not necessarily limited to tower checks.
I'm afraid I don't have any gear you have designed at my disposal.
While I wouldn't mind purchasing some... we are far too cheap and my budget doesn't include enough for a new juicy spectrum analyzer. (Yeah... I was glancing at them with a stalkeresk look)
A nice newer digital signal counter would be grand too...
However, for a cut antenna this would be great. Given the antenna's I lug around when doing spot checks or trying to determine if a given tower is in an acceptable range... I really wouldn't mind this design so much.
I'm surprised someone hasn't said they want a beowolf cluster of these.
First off, IAMAT (I am not a trekie), but just as we have language of expression we also have mathematics.
So, maybe they had a finer grained reference for mathematics and such. It just seems silly, to say someone did a good job you have to say a four or five line sentence to say "good job." On the flip side you have a wide variance for approval or disproval.
Just like if Shakespear developed warp travel and big honking space guns.
At a base level they are going to have individual words. Of course, it's all left to speculation and you have to the very large believe button.
Yeah, I used to sit in their chat rooms and correct them a lot while watching the shows. They were always hilarious after the show stopped rolling. I think that was back when it was ZDTV.
I since then have stopped watching... just techtv didn't really seem all that tech to me. My mom really likes it though. It seems really targeted for people of her experience level.
I do have a renewed interest with the merger though.
Oh but I did RTFA;) I guess we need a new anacronym... RTFT (the final word being thread)
Indeed, I understand the problems as they are pretty much the same problems any corporate environement would have.
I'm really interested to see how the solutions come about.
The kernel is a fine example. As I understand it, Linus used to accept patches, review said patches and apply them if he so deemed. Eventually, if the person was reliable and proven they were given access. (Someone correct me here or feel free to add detail).
Now... stop for a moment and lets look at a bit of something different.
AOL used to give free access to channel moderators and other such content managers in exchange for their services. Tax laws or some other regulation later decided it was time to count these barter personal as employees. Thus, some expenses began coming AOL's way and a great portion of this program was whisked away. I can't quite remember what it was, but I do remember reading about it in a slashdot article.
So in any event, I suspect the same doesn't apply as the individuals are not rewarded. Then again, I would suspect there would be something in the form of liability contractual agreements or something along the lines that says "you will not insert stolen code in these products." Probably something very similar to what employees are made to sign.
It is all probability a non-issue, but I'm just wondering if anyone has considered it.
What would have been nice is some good examples of why Fedora isn't the project it was touted as. Of course, since I have no involvement in the development process (end user), I'm not sure that the community really is being excluded as a whole.
Yeah, it's a funny commentary on the problem, but without real subsequent features it makes it hard to get a full grasp on the situation.
Obviously, it looks like there is some contention with CVS access of any sorts. Still, there are other means of involvement. Again, a rather lack luster article for those who are uninformed of the situation.
Theoretically, if you were interested in writing something like this, you could create some form of protection to ensure its not run unless you tell it do so.
Businessess build bombs all the time, but they don't generally let the public drive pick up trucks to the establishment.
In any event, creating safeguards is a good CYA move, in the event something makes its way out.

I hope AOL appreciates my efforts
I'm clicking reload as fast as I can, but it just isn't working.
I ask everyone stop reloading for a few minutes so that I might catch a window of opportunity.
Back to clicking reload...

You sure can use these boards... provided they are out of course.

Well, I guess you could take the thermal elements from a heating pad and stick them in a real doll.
Best I can do for a 100 quid.

Me... I just want a cut quad of these.
I use a bit of a different method on the ramen.
I generally fill the bowl with water and then nuke for about five minutes. It usually sits in the microwave for about five more minutes.
After that, I drain the water and pour generous amounts of whatever cheap hot sauce I've come by.
This last batch has been Texas Pete's hot sauce.
It wasn't that long ago that people made an active choice to download a browser. It's not an uncommon choice.
This article paints a gloom picture, but no one seems to see the light.
If Microsoft wants to wait to release a new browser then this merely opens a nice hole for increased market penetration.
The gap will fill, but not if people complain Microsoft is not innovating.
Yeah,
Morels are going to be hard to come by in this day and age.

Beat me to the punch!
However, the only slight difference is cue cat referenced a central database against an ID number in bar code format.
Though... yes.. CueCat...
mmmm... hopefully... more free bar code readers...
Um, if you pay for it, doesn't adaware have adwatch?
My understanding is it does just that.
Dunno about auto-updates, but if there are any command switches to run in update mode you could cron it with scheduler.
Oh yeah, I know how to turn off xpi installs.
I'm just mentioning the new tailored for mozilla malware goodness.
I was rather impressed someone took the time for mozilla. Our little browser has all grown up!
