I think this is a great test of the GPL. I have often wondered how GPL violations would be handled and if it would hold-up in court. I'm anxious to see how this plays-out.
Me to CIO --
Me: We need $300k to upgrade our equipment to IPv6
CIO: How does that help us make more money?
Me: It doesn't, but we will be helping to support innovation.
CIO: No.
Me: fsck
They are all insecure. If a human wrote it, then it's insecure, so I don't think that's a very good argument. A lot on Unix/Linux sysadmins use that line because it's very easy to just say "microsoft products are insecure" and the boss never knows the difference; when in reality their Unix/Linux couterparts are usually just as insecure.
Ok, so load Win2k on a desktop if your company can't afford another server. You don't need to backup the machine, or have RAID -- you could reload Win2k & SUS in an hour if the drive failed.
We're using this with about 400 XP & 2000 machines. I works pretty good. You can deploy it via Group Policy so you don't have to touch every machine. Recently they added the ability to send out Service Packs!
If you have a slow (mostly 32k frame), very distributed (140 sites), network like we do...it still works, but we can only approve a few updates per day or we'll hog all the bandwidth.
It's beats the fsck out of touching each PC --- give it a try. EASY EASY EASY to setup.
For starters you have to first compile Mplayer. I can just see me telling Joe User -- "you need to compile that first. Oh, you don't have the required libaries and dependencies? You'll need to install those....go to rpmfind.net. Good luck"
Next: Since when did Linux "secure" your network. If it does then I'll tell all the hackers/crackers out there to just try to get into my network!!! It's secure because I have a Linux machine on it.
Ever heard of RDP?
You are correct; Linux isn't perfect -- neither is Windows. They will never be...are you?
Why doesn't KaZaa just mod their program to make it appear that every user is sharing RIAA files? Then the RIAA would never be able to figure who is acutally sharing them.
I know it sounds like an impossible task, but does anyone think we'll ever be able to move away from SMTP based email? If so, won't spammers find a way to spam no matter what email system/protocol we use...or maybe with a new protocol at least we'd have a better more reliable way to block spam.
Next question... who's going to buiild this new protocol, and who would trust it and prompt a widespread which to it. It would, it seems, have to be backward compatible with SMTP for some time.

In this case the system works -- I wonder how many undiscovered security holes there are in Linux (and Windows, and MacOS, etc...)
I bet McAfee is shakin' in the their boots. It's gonna look bad when the FBI finds out they wrote those viruses.
1. Write virus
2. Turn yourself in
3. ????
4. Profit!!!

that is not yours. Downloading music online is technically copying, not stealing.

I'm 6'3", but apparently that's not tall enough, so I'm going to start drinking more milk. I wonder what the ratio of milk-to-salary is?
That was the preliminary ????

You don't need a deticated machine for SUS. It will even run on a domain controller.

that just doesn't sound right.

...but I can't remember why?
great now Iraqi hackers can choose our president
Take a small piece of clear tape and put it over the ball or optical peice on the bottom of their mouse. Usually makes for about 30 minutes of fun.
I've never really looked at BeOS...and I'm wondering is BeOS Linux or Unix? Or is BeOS just BeOS.
/. effect.
If it's not Linux, then why are they running the yellowTab site on Linux?

Also, it looks they've changed their site to redirect to 127.0.0.1 to avoid the

i'm glad I could provide some entertainment for your simple mind.
sorry, i'll never do it again, Anonymous Coward.
Good point! But I only made it twice....and I've only seen it like 500 times...hummmmm...maybe I'm not the only one.
