User EtherApe on Linux - very cool graphics and allows you to focus on who's loading LAN segments (put it onto the monitor port on your switch).
And Ethereal as many have mentioned on both Windows and Linux. I use Ethereal for everything from finding what spyware is trying to do through to trapping inconsistent content from a server farm to working out what ciphers SSL is negotiating through to looking at what DNS replies I'm getting. I'd be lost without it.
The new trans-Atlantic flight time is now 6 hours....
Midtown to JFK - 1 hour (off peak) JFK TIA/Homeland/Patriot-enabled security -> Plane seat - 3 Hours US -> UK flight time in new Mach 10 rocket - 2 Hours
Total time 6 hours. Your bags though would arrive 2 days later assuming that they hadn't been blown up in an anti-terrorist "controlled explosion" at LAX.
Yeh, I was at a client site and wondered why they had Advanced Server 2000 on a small (256Meg) dual Processor (2x 1000 PIII) machine.
The truth is because someone got a 180 day evaluation version, got it installed, started using it, and then was stuck with it and so had to get a proper license !.
So those 180 day CDs are perfect for idiots to get hooked enough on the Windows crack to want more.
So many hours of our lives have been spent fixing SCANDISK, SCANREG and missing DLLs.
So many hours of our childrens lives asking "Why has it stoppped working"
So many hours trying to get DOS to do simply tasks. So many hours spent on Legal, Licencing, and reboots.
I see computing technology as allowing humanity the freedom to explore and innovate. The games industry has driven the hardware manufacturers and their engines stay well away from Microsoft except in recent years.
The Internet is run by Open Source, yet it has been polluted by Microsoft through their poor security model. Where would we be without open relays, zombies and Windows scripting hosts ?.
Microsoft have regulated our freedoms too long.
Like some command-economy control, it regulates what it wants and suffocates what it doesn't.
It is also NOT the largest IT company in the world by any means; IBM has many time its turnover so the loss of Microsoft in percentage terms of the Worlds top 100 companies, will barely be felt.
SCO toss letters to companies. Chances are someone will send back a cheque just like various drongos send off moolah for 419 scams, "International Directories", non-State controlled lotteries, or domain name registration services or non-existant eBay auctions.
SCO are simply forum shopping. When they get a bite then Darl cracks a fat saying how some Aussie wuss fell for it.
You gotta call SCO's bluff mates. They have never asked anyone to remove any SCO code from the Linux source tree because it just isn't there.
ps: My first car was a Holden (Just Hold'in Together) Premier V8 so please forgive me !.
Sh*t when I see a thing about a worm wrecking a computer I immediately thing my locked down Linux boxen are in for a hammering.
Can editors be clear in titles of stories; if its Windows then say its Windows....or have the Microsoft lawyers got some editorial influence on the postings ?
No - don't stop those CDs !. They usually come in the UK in the black plastic DVD style cases.
I love these !. bin the CD, reverse the front cover insert (its usually white on the back) - and then I have a new case for my Knoppix or Mandrake download edition release or Toms Rescue CD or similar.
Once you play with regdt32 and regedit then its like a flat file:). One big flat file. Without comments or documentation.
When it fails it sucks. I've had Windows not start because of some disk problem making the registry unreadable.
But the same idea is in use within Linux - look at the/proc or/sysfs or look at gconfd or the rpm database.
So the issue isn't so much the registry but how its implemented. With flat files the buety is the ability to add inline documentation. Microosft doesn't have this ability to tag keys with a comment or to have "ghost keys" which are commented out.
Well yes and no. Once terrorists see little old ladies as a loophole in the system then these little old ladies will be groomed to act as mules for bombs.
So no , its unlikely she'll wipe out the cabin crew with a box cutter but you better do some atmospheric pressure testing on her checked baggage !.
Expect the unexpected has to be the motto and the trouble is that all Goverment initiatives will always be acting after the fact.
When any software application gets examined then all Open Source CVS trees for related software should examined as prior art in the same field of endevour.
A CVS repository is a published work thats readily and publicly available.
Maybe the USPTO will not spend time doing the right deep searching that it should.
Its a crock that the Patent process grows lengthier and more costly as technology gets more complex: Thats like saying that as the Internet gets bigger it gets harder to search it because there are so many pages. Hello - anyone heard of Google ?. As technology gets more complex it automatically brings with it the ability for it to be understood. Until we get self-learning machine intelligences filling patents, its humans who file patents and unless they plan to use some weird Elf/Orc language its in English, albeit Patentese.
No - the Patent system is suffering because (what should be) golden rules of non-obvious to persons trained in the art are not being followed. The extra money is required to help buy the right people and they are expensive, and develop the right technologies to help speed the search process - which will also be expensive if neural nets are needed to be trained and maintained.
There is no logical reason why an expert system could not be trained. If the expert system says it don't know about what the patent claims are claiming then it must be new ! If it laughs and says been-there done-that, then the patent doesn't get issued.
There are some fundamental differences in how the UN Declaration of Human Rights are interpreted by the US. The US signed this in '48.
As long as he has a US statement to the effect that the UN Declaration of Human Rights will prevail over all domestic laws then I shouldn't imagine too many problems. If not then I don't see why someone whould risk their life, liberty and wellbeing in the US legal system.
Ask yourself - would you want and open ended journey through, say the Saudi courts, with appeal after appeal in a legal language you don't understand, represented by people you don't know and endevouring to understand the never ending interpretations of eseoteric legal theory while you are languishing in some prison ?. After all , unlikely that you would be out on bail given you would be a foreign national.
I imagine not.
I can understand it if he'd committed a crime in the US on US territory but no crime was committed where he lives. Extradition can only take place if the crime committed is also a crime in the destination country.
This is what stops foreign countries trying to extradite US citizens for what may be considered rights or freedoms protected by the constitution to countries that don't respect the same rights.
The reverse applies too. It'll set a dangerous precedent for US citizens.
The response is emotional because the SCO threats have no legal basis (until proven in the current court cases), have no technical basis (until source code is actually revealed which to date SCO have not.
Its really our emotional response to threats. No different from any criminal threatening your hopes, dreams, your work, career or family.
EV1Servers should have simply waited until the SCO v. IBM was finished the appeals.
We've been desperately saying this - all we want is facts. Cold hard code with clear attribution and this has not been forthcoming from anyone to date.
EV1Servers have been tarnished because no-one knows who to trust right yet. For me if Torvalds says he wrote that code then he did and it stays that way until he says "Oh yeah I remember, I copied that from an old Computer or DDJ magazine or found it on a FTP site." or something equally absurd.
In the last year I've bought 10 ink and 2 laser printers for a school (and 1 ink and a Laser for me)
For Lasers I use the Samsung ML4500 because it is easy to refill its toner - a simple plug pops out and in goes the cheap toner. Also at around USD 100 for the whole laser gets you the first 2000 pages anyway.
For colour inkjets I've used Canon S200/250/300 models as they all have the (same part across many models) bladder-only style refills (no head - the head is a separate part). These are cheap (less than USD 15) for Canon-branded refills and even cheaper for generic brand. No refilling kits needed. If the head goes - I'd probably throw out the whole printer.
Time is money and I'm happy to refill a Laser toner (if its easy and this Samsung is but not all Lasers are) but all inkjets are so fiddly (from experience of refilling HP, Lexmark and Oki).
So don't complain about how expensive ink is or how hard it is to refill - look at the whole of life of your purchase including how expensive and how easy it is to refill.
Also at the school I always reject anyone trying to donate printers to us: this is one thing thats more a burden than a gift ! old monitors are fine !
XFree86 is trademarked. Trademarks are valuable.
Having MSN dilute it through saying its porn when in fact it isn't is diluting the trademark.
Looks like its time for XFree86 to issue a demand to MSN to stop what they are doing and not redirect people to some porn search engine.
EV1 on behalf of its users signed up to an Agreement which does not include any rights to access, use, modify or distribute any SCO source code in any form under any licensing arrangement (SCO license).
I guess now is the time to ask which lines are the SCO code and which are not so that the lines of code which are not SCO can be recompiled at will as the copyright holder allows. Does SCO intend to deprive all other Linux copyright holders their rights to allow the Linux copyright licensees (users) their ability to recompile code e.g. tweak modules ?.
Could be this site license is a Trojan horse for SCO and may prove to be a Pyrrhic victory.
i thought my last bribe^H^H^H^H^H contribution to the glorious chinese democratic goverment to help censor^H^H^H^H^H^H provide balance media coverage and universal civilian access to this newfangled internet thing should have worked.

Come on get a life; Do you leave your 4yr old kids wandering around the mall while you go shopping ? Or do you bother with locks on porn channels on the satellite or cable ?.
No ? - well then how the hell is it that you think its fine to leave an unfirewall-unwhitelisted account for your children to use when surfing the net ?.
Having a unfiltered/unfirewalled PC at home should be a criminal offence of the parents. Anyone who complains about Internet junk and their children is missing the point. The internet isn't some sort of big electronic library but an electronic analog of humanity. With it comes all the variety of life.
I just think anti-typosquatter laws are one of those laws that'll be used to catch parody sites like *insert politician here*sucks.com. He only made money because the referals paid on visits or click-throughs. Go for those that paid him the money.

Forget blocking web sites, just make it hard to fund. Existing money laundering rules will pick up on any US dollar payments.

Typical Windows bloatware.
A) Source code, or
B) Linux/Debian/U*nix versions
This is a closed source Microsoft Windows 98/NT/2000/ME/XP pure play.
