> 1) Did this error change the outcome of a race? That is the first consideration, because if it didn't then the severity of the error is vastly reduced.
Wow. You really should consider the idea of thinking before you click the 'Submit' button.
The first thing that you have to consider is what the nature of the bug is. For example, if the code is:
next if $lastName =~ m/stien\Z/i; next if $firstName =~ m/\amohamed\Z/i; next unless $sex =~ m/male/i;
Then you should find the person who wrote that code and fire them for using Perl. HHOS. Maybe this guy is the only *stien in his town.
What I think that he is stating is that one could easily cause denial-of-service on the clients of Windows Update. If you can make the system look tampered with or pirated, that host won't be able to get updates automatically without intervention by the user.
The user will know that their copy is suspected of being pirated, but may not know how to fix it. This could potentially ensure that a large amount of devices that were compromised stay compromised and unpatched for a period of time.
How is this interesting? Everyone knows that this isn't going to get you faster internet access. That would be like waxing your Motorola Surfboard. There is a chance that some people do want to be able to transfer data in their own home at these speeds. I personally could use the bandwidth. For security, VPN works fine. Screw WEP/WPA, and all that jazz.
The most important thing is compatability. Nobody will use N if there isn't compatability between different implementations.
Thanks to Debian's rigid enforcement of the Free Software Guidelines (which went on to become the Open Source Definition), it's also very easy to keep everything "i-tal" on a Debian system.
So why isn't Debian on the "Free GNU/Linux Distributions" list? I'm curious, because the FSF doesn't bother to print the distributions that failed the test, and why.
Yep. FreeNAS is also a good solution, if you can deal without a full OS. I personally am building a FlexATX motherboard (VIA 800 Mhz) that has two PCI slots. The motherboard draws about 30W, so I am going to try and get by with an 80W PicoPSU Power supply. I haven't decided if I am going to go with a simple mirror or RAID 5 yet.
There was a guy who had some kind of a mobility problem. He had a solution that involved using a mouse to point, and clicking with his foot. This was done through a simple switch that was spliced into the mouse. It was an old-school Sun mouse, IIRC.
It was a home-brew solution, but it worked well. I don't know how hard something like that would be to rig up, but I assume it was pretty easy.
... I do not listen, download or accept DRM'ed music or music that's under 320k quality.
So nothing under 320k (--preset insane), but transcoded music is fine? The last time I checked most of the music on their site was transcoded from a lossy format. Some were from a lossless format, but a huge majority was lossy -> lossy conversion.:-/
I'd like to see more things like http://bleep.com/ for major labels.
I understand why you would want to do this, but here is the rub. How are we sure that the owner of the laptop that was on fire didn't run an application like that to make his laptop more silent? How do we know that he didn't install software and the software just failed?
IMHO, the laptop should have a certain point where it just shuts down when it gets too hot. Playing around with that setting isn't always a good thing.
If a company makes a laptop that is way too hot... don't buy it. Puting it on blocks of ice, or having extra fans and even hacking the software doesn't avoid the fact that you are buying shit hardware.
And that is the bigest problem with religion. The questions that science answers (How, What, Where and When) are all basic concepts describing what is around us.
The idea of a "who" makes the assumption that there is a responsible, sentient entity and "why" makes the assumption that there is an entity, and there was reasoning and a purpose in mind. Most religions claim to "know" not only that "who" and "why" exist, but that they know the only answer to both.

Agreed. This is a troll.
It's like a shaved tribble with a cesarean scar above it.
.. or maybe they are just very small batteries ...
ACK
You do have a very good point there, and should have been modded up.

Wow. Looking at their ChangeLog, it seems pretty dead to me. Thanks for the evidence.
I can't think of a worse experience for an OS install then Irix.
Death to IRIX! Long live the new flesh.
If you want to keep people out, use MAC address filtering. The access-point shouldn't be accepting connections from rogue clients.
WEP is for encryption, not access-control.

Because of the FCC?

So I tape my mp3 player to my chest with gaffer tape. If they really wants it bad enough, he can grope me to get it.
He gets an mp3 player, and I get groped. It is a win-win situation.
How 'bout they just take my mp3 player. I'll give them my headphones too.

That's true, but I read his part of it on Technocrat.net, where it was posted first.

I like technocrat because it has less crap stories, and I have a four digit number there.
