i don't care if a Frenchman hates me, why should i. If i think the UN is an overly-beuracratic, poorly designed, governing body that has no technical insight into running the internet(all of which i DO believe to be true), then i will say it. Damn the morons who don't agree.
I don't know the problems with ICANN, but i can forsee even worse problems with the UN.
Who needs global standards when you have defacto standards.
yes, because we all know how great the proprietary MS Office.doc format has been to work with in OO.o... Yes, if you go against the UN(why the hell do they have to step into this?) and ICANN goes on its own, things will easily go all to hell.
RIAA doesn't want to provide "value". They want to get paid for doing something which is essentially worthless--the act of copying the song to the media and distributing it to us. Hello, RIAA--we've got that one under control. You're fired; your job has been replaced by a computer.
Sounds like the sys admin joke to 'shut up, or i will replace your job with a shell script'. Its funny because its true!
because if, in general use of the system, files are change, moved, renamed, written over or deleted. The algorithm used to INSERT the hidden message couldn't then find the inserted bits to recompile the mesage.
well you can't use fasttrack to distributed the website, only the builds... something like freenet might be an idea though.
Also, i think the k-lite crew actually has an opportunity in freenet... Imagine kazaa lite over freenet, not fasttrack... Put aside stability concerns (they are being worked on) and think of how you could be free from the RIAA concerns, free to download and upload anything you want, where speed is bittorrent like (increases with demand) and also can include webpages to boot!
Here is to a kazaa like gui for freenet(frost is in the right direction, but not there yet.
Redhat open sources all their tools for this reason... unlike, say, Suse, who keeps their claim to fame app to themselves... Read into it what you want, but Redhat is an opensource company trying to make a profit, and build a community around their product...
I say, good for them, I will be running Fedora for quite a long time.
this makes it more practical to not only move your music collection to your ipod, but soon your dvd collection too. at 5 gigs a pop, only your very top choices will fit on an ipod, but in the coming generations, if harddrive space is bumped(i don't think it NEEDS to be, but it will, once the drives are available to Apple), then you can fit say 10-20 dvds on there, at full quality.
nope. I think 'Linux' is becoming a serious player, because Redhat and Sun are selling Linux on serious hardware, with support to back it. IBM is backing it on serious, powerful hardware. Execs don't expect to get an enterprise machine for free, just cause the OS is free. They want a solid system that does what it says it will, and linux provides that.
Name brand recognition is a GOOD THING, why should we abandon what Linus, the developers, and many companies have done to get that recognition so high?
Maybe it is me, but I don't understand what everyone is complaining about... People are mad because Redhat move their free corporate run distro, to a free community run distro... This is what is praised about in debian, that it is community run(that and apt)...
Fedora is potentially everything and more of the free Redhat Linux distro... give them some time, but I have faith this is going to be a GOOD move.
well, ya, Gandalf and the main character of the Hobbit. Bilbo baggins. Granted he wasn't in Two Towers(and i don't know about RotK) but still, a character from both books.
with Apple trying to get serious in the Unix / server world... i wonder if they would move darwin into a position of a old-school unix... trying to go on par and beat out redhat/suse, and even go for irix/hp-ux/win2k pro. They have the money, and it is only going to give them more leverage in the business world.

first bsd is dying, next they will start calling you an insensitive clod and making natalie portman jokes about your posts.
via bittorrent, no less!
so for god sakes, to fix the Chinese IP 'problem' the government has to do 1 thing... Mandate the migration to ipv6. That is it.
Anything sold in China, must be compatible with ipv6, and there ya go. a million ip's per person, with a couple trillion to spare.
1. MIT owns a Class A license for ips, that is a lil over 16 million.
2. China runs a modern day Great(fire)wall, to censor and what not... why not just nat the 1 billion people behind that? Ok, a bit inpractical, maybe.
I would like to be the first to welcome our new Australian Overlords. Sit down, have some popcorn and watch the world hate us on CNN.

What, you want to FORK the fscking internet?

girlfriend? real /.ers don't NEED a girlfriend.
how about the X Window Server... that just got forked in the last couple months.
the idea of debian's stability is real stability. if the Woody installer is tried and true, then it is stable, not bleeding edge.
redhat has that option, btw.
because if, in general use of the system, files are change, moved, renamed, written over or deleted. The algorithm used to INSERT the hidden message couldn't then find the inserted bits to recompile the mesage.
These Rangers aren't just any Rangers... They are POWER Rangers. Wait, wrong show. my bad.

openBSD did some code tricks that they claim to eliminate or nearly eliminate the buffer overflow attacks.

what about pdas? they have upwards of 400mhz, 32-128m ram, and boot in near-instant time.
I haven't used it, but BeOS was said to have staggerinly fast boot times compared to anything on the desktop, and that was in the 300-500mhz days.

it isn't 'the Kernel development model' rather, the open source development model that they would be giving the ok for.
and again, the 'who cares' part of the problem is: how are they going to use that root access when ssh and other services are OFF by default?
