Actually, when it comes to the X-Box Microsoft doesn't appear to be concerned about profits. They haven't made a dime off the system yet, and by some estimates are over $4 billion in the hole because of it.
Regardless what you think about Microsoft, what they are doing is a good thing and something the Linux communit should consider.
Install a the newest beta of your distro of choice on whatever old hardware you have laying around and join it to a distributed network. Someone put together a list of "questionable sites". Monitor the file systems with tripwire or AIDE or something similar. Post the logs and such to the distributed network for review.
I'm not joking. One of my company's large clients refuses to send their drives off because of litigation they have been through before. They require us to totally destroy the drives before recycling any computers. We use a large shredder which turns the hard drive to dust within a few seconds.
We went through the routine of trying to get them to use an NSA approved wipe utility, or multiple formats and 1 byte garbage writes, but they weren't convinenced. Considering how many problems they've had in court before because old documents past their retention age have shown up I can't say I blame them.
Won't this be a lot easier to stop than telemarketers? Can't I simply block the IP address or block of IP addresses?
Will I have to buy all my son's movies again?

My spoiled son has a huge collection of DVD movies. He also has a sizeable collection of VHS movies that he takes to Grandma's when I'm out of town. And another collection of movies for his VideoNow POS movie player.
Am I going to have to buy all of these again so he can watch them on the new PSP? Or is Sony going to give me some way to rip them and write them to UMD?
It looks like this is addressed in the Yahoo DomainKeys FAQ. Your ISP just adds a new key showing that your mail uses their server and the message should be signed correctly.
DomainKeys allows for multiple public keys to be published in DNS at the same time. This allows companies to use different key pairs for the various mail servers they run and also to easily revoke, replace, or expire keys at their convenience. Thus, the domain owner may revoke a public key and shift to signing with a new pair at any time.
DomainKeys will typically be implemented/enabled by the team within a company, ISP, or email service provider that deploys and runs the incoming and outgoing mail servers. Some companies may have service providers that handle their email. As MTA vendors, such as Sendmail, add support for DomainKeys to their products, the implementation of DomainKeys will become simpler.
I have a Dell 2001FP that I bought last November. I don't play games on the PC anymore so I don't know what its performance is game wise, but it performs wonderfully on both XP and Linux (Gentoo-Gnome). Either the submitter has some kind of configuration problem or he should RMA the LCD through Dell.
I know quite a few people who would rather use FireFox at work, but they can't. Their corporate standard is still IE and their desktops are sufficiently locked down enough that they can't figure out how to get it running.
I suspect that the numbers for FireFox and Opera would be a lot higher if the admins would allow them to use it.
Everyone in the office loves FireFox and Thunderbird. But, we absolutely cannot use Thunderbird. Most of our clients work in MS Exchange-Outlook environments and whenever they make an attachment it shows up on our end as a file named "Part 1.2".
We can use Fentun to convert the file, usually, but that gets very old very quickly if you get several of them a day.
I've been told this is a Microsoft RTF encoding problem, but they are not going to fix it. Until Mozilla gets this "bug" resolved we'll never convert.
Download the SP1 Network install before beginning your XP installation. Stick it on a CD or a Samba share and install it prior to connecting to the Internet.
Without Al Gore's hard work to turn the ARPANET of the 80's into the Internet of the 90's none of you closet perv Republicans would be fapping to Paris Hilton. Al Gore did take the initiative to create the Internet, and a lot of us on Slashdot have him to thank for our jobs because of it. Get over it.
Gore Speech before the Senate in 1989 "But I genuinely believe that the creation of this nationwide network and the broader installation of lower capacity fiber optic cables to all parts of this country, will create an environment where work stations are common in homes and even small businesses with access to supercomputing capability being very, very widespread. It's sort of like, once the interstate highway system existed, then a college student in California who lived in North Carolina would be more likely to buy a car, drive back and forth instead of taking the bus. Once that network for supercomputing is in place, you're going to have a lot more people gaining access to the capability, developing an interest in it. That will lead to more people getting training and more purchases of machines."
September 1, 2000, Newt Gingrich, during a
CSPAN broadcast "In all fairness, it's something Gore had worked on a long time. Gore is not the Father of the Internet, but in all fairness Gore is the person who, in the Congress, most systematically worked to make sure that we got to an Internet, and the truth is--and I worked with him starting in 1978 when I got there, we were both part of a 'futures group'--the fact is, in the Clinton administration the world we had talked about in the '80s began to actually happen. You can see it in your own life, between the Internet, the computer, the cell phone."
Shift-Left_Click does open a link in a new window in FireFox. I prefer to use tabs, not windows, so I usually Shift-Middle_Click to open the link in a new tab with focus on that tab. Or, if I want to load it in a background tab I'll just Middle_Click.

I have a rack right here housing a linux cluster. 36 1U dual-Xeon servers. On the Cray XD1 site it details the "Exceptional Performance" of the XD1 system. It details the performance of a system with 12 AMD Opteron processors, and the performance of a rack of systems with 12 AMD Opteron processors.
I understand that the underlying architecture of those servers may be vastly different than the servers in the rack next to me, but fundementally aren't they both multi-processor PC servers operating in a cluster? If so why does their rack full of multi-processor systems qualify as an HPCbut mine does not?
I'm not very good at building things like this but my Brother works for a local fab shop and they built it for me. They charged me for the labor but even with that it cost me a grand total of $100. I filled it with cheap home built 1U systems from Supermicro, a rack mount UPS and switch from ebay.

I don't know who the marketing genius is that thinks I am going to buy something advertised in an email with this subject. Seriously, is anyone buying stuff from the "new" spam email with all of the gibberish characters in the subject and body?
How will this hurt Google's IPO? All they need to do is make a press release saying they are not going to pay SCO anything and that they'll switch to BSD if SCO actually wins their case against IBM. The latter being highly unlikely of course.

Are you implying that no one ever does anything illegal with Microsoft software?
