    Any system, at least any widely available system, can be owned if you have access to the hardware. There have been many Solaris, Linux, and AIX machines at left by people with unknown root passwords that I've needed to "fix". Three minutes later with the right boot media, that's no longer a problem. Sometimes boot media isn't even required.

    One new feature in the Open Firmware updates for Mac is a setting that will prevent booting from CD. It's still defeatable if you can open the box and rearrange the RAM (safety feature for people that might get stuck with $2000 paperweights), but it works.

    Issuezilla is what CollabNet calls their modified version of Bugzilla. They've done a lot of work on it to make it work with the rest of SourceCast and use the separate name to make sure that people don't confuse the two as the *same* thing.

    And Joy, come on, he's one of the reasons you have *BSD.

    Brian didn't announce Collab.net at JavaOne, he announced what Collab is doing with Sun vis-a-vis NetBeans at JavaOne.

    Collab.net, and what they are doing, has been public for a while now. See the Collab website for more info on what they do. Much different than SourceForge. In fact, from what I understand, Brian was putting this together much before SourceForge was a gleam in VA's eye.
