"I really sorry for kids that have had to grow up not knowing the excitement of those days of the Apollo moon missions. I can remember in school, all the students gathering in the gym to watch the TVs. That's why for the survival of NASA, I wish they would set a new goal like a manned mission to Mars."
You too? Yeah, I remember... and the old thrill is still there.
"There wouldn't be any quality content without millions of dollars being spent. I personally think most of the movies that come out, most of the music I hear on the radio, and most television sucks, but these corporations foot the bill--they take the massive financial risk in creating content in the first place."
I recall when the cable company here in NY hinted that the subscription fees might be able to do away with the ads. That was what, 20 yrs ago? Short story is that I gave up TV altogether and no dice for the pols who think I have a short memory.
"Money corrupts. And I agree, the USA is becomming a profit driven country. The problem is politicians no longer view people as their electorate, instead they view complex algorithms of where to spend money on advertising as the equation to get elected. We have become sheep. And it is the corporations which fund politicians. Is it any wonder why politicians pass these rediculous laws? They need the continued financial support to wage their election campaigns."
No, Power corrupts. The fact that people want money gives it power. Just IMHO.
You are also not the one who will take the blame when things screw up due to lax security. Laws such as HIPPA and Sarbanes-Oxley come to mind; infractions can cost an admin a *lot* more than his job.
actually, yes I have done iptables, from the commandline (acually put it into a script) and successfully. Nowdays yeah there's GUIs for it, most distros have one; I just used a bunch of RTFM and figured it out.
Big difference tho - Xdrive explicitly supports linux and mac already, and doesn't require any filesystem twiddling. Works just fine for me from moz/linux.
According to the copyright license (GPL) on the slackware ISO's, it is perfectly legal to offer them via p2p - slackware themselves offers a torrent. I'd *love* to see somebody try and make case law out of that.
Dunno; some of the best musicians I've ever heard measured success in terms of their audience, not their wallet. The wallet seems to take care of itself in those cases.
You could just wget it all into/dev/null inside a while loop; wget exits and returns 0 which triggers the loop again. Maybe not a great idea to do that from your own IP tho, just on case.

I wonder whose code they are claiming MS has stolen, since SCO themselves sold MS a huge license just recently.
FC3 already has it, with a limited policy set. I'm using it ATM.

same here, a small Alpha cluster with linux

Boy, that's a big strawberry pop-tart!
Just IME the double standards are usually clearly marked with dollar signs.
Interesting how the whole thing revolves around placing blame instead of being blameless. Speaks volumes to me, anyway.
That would tie in quite nicely with the "leaked" e-mail and sealed transcription.
Dunno. My brain flies pretty good all by itself.
At least a browser crash won't lock up my OS or overwrite other portions of memory. Lesser evils and all that.

Not all of us needed to be born with a condom on.
It just kills ppl when they see my Pentium Pro box keeping up with XP on a P4, for desktop stuff.
if the US really gave a shit about IP theft, there wouldn't be one-click patents, EULA's ot SCO's. It all depends on whose big fat ox is being gored.
I'm betting that he's waiting till 2.6.9 is out before dealing with it. The focus right now is on getting bugreports in from 2.6.9-rc4.

I guess this is the part where we can all "Get the Facts" about TCO.

has made me re-consider http re-directs and online surveys.
