Hell, I'm USian (just south of Toronto). I don't even *own* an iPod or a tivo, or anything. And yet I say "Wow, this is bullshit."
This is just.... bullshit. I am *so* glad that I got my Rush collection back when it was all on vinyl LP's.
Seconded, but also in my case, it was the scene where Frank Poole's body is spinning off into space. The hibernauculum didn't help much either for the mental imagery.
ISTR this also... good times, back then. Another one that I was interested in was +ORC (fravia). Slightly outdated nowdays, but still very educational.
Submissions and patches to the kernel are independently tested and verified at least twice before being signed off and committed, usually by upstream developers (more experienced). This is the normal process. The only thing different in this case is that a vulnerability was exposed, hence it is in the news.
Actually, it's already been fixed as of 2.6.31-rc3. Interestingly enough, the code by itself was fine until gcc tries to re-assign the pointer value upon compiling. Steven J. Vaughn-Nichols had a decent write-up about it in Computerworld.
Um. Dude, I've seen a lot of flame bait here but that takes the cake. Rather than modding, I'm gonna comment.
My white German and Irish arse is gonna kick yer lame thing off this North-American-owned website. Now shut right the hell up and deal.
Amazing, for once I agree with an AC, and have mod points even. Not that I'm gonna waste them on this convo. But yeah, you got a point from a linux guy-white-box point of view.
Although I still prefer FTP or HTTP, I've learned over the years to wait a few days before downloading. It also gives some time to see what the early adopters say, usually right here on slash.
Dude. I just cut-n-pasted that into txt, just in case. It has some strong potential to become a slash meme, *and* it shows up as a FP. Frankly, I'm amazed. To top it all off, it requires some brain-power to arrive at any number of graphics. Well done!
There never was much "heavy Industrial Machinery" in them. I'm not saying that to be an asshat. I've worked on caterpillars, drove big trucks, and owned a few 1970's Chevy and GMC's. And in my neck of the woods (northeast US) you really do need 4x4 and good rubber.
I'll second that. Back in the day (TM) for me the choice was Asteroids, Pac-Man, or a pinball machine at the local pizza shop. I once got 3 hours of Asteroids play out of a quarter. If your family was lucky enough to have a computer at all, it was usually an Atari 800 or a C64. You might even have a printer and a cassette tape deck for storing programs. Most of the machine existed in ROM cartridges though. All the computer magazines published code for games and utilities, that you could type in and tweak.
"If the FSF says that software should not be owned"
The FSF does not say that, nor does copyright law. Rather, the FSF says that software should be "share and share alike", as long as the license is respected. In this case the license is the GPL, and the authors of the software most certainly do retain the copyrights ("ownership"). Linksys and Cisco can license their own software however they want to; but the GPL bits have to follow the GPL.
You may wish to start studying copyright law. The GPL was the only license that Cisco had to the software, hence they have to abide by it. In other words, its the principle of the thing that matters, not the money.
Meanwhile, you may wish to consider joining these guys.

I stand corrected, and educated. Thank you.

How is this different from the current situation in the US?
Well, at least they *are* disclosing and patching. But then again, I switched to linux back during Win98.

The need for a larger dildo to greet ET's with?

Speed costs. How fast do you wanna go? Now show me a Euro or Japanese engine that you can throw anything into that will burn, and then go that fast.

Nope, but you *can* project goatse from your cellphone towards a whole busload of people during rush hour...

I use an air freshener, the type you hang in the rear-view mirror... modern times, you know?
It was squirted.
Seconded. And decades ago, at that.
I wonder how this AI will react to goatse? Will it have a human response?
