A bank can provide a level of security that the average person cannot provide themselves. Perhaps the same will be true for crypto currencies at some point. The average person will not have the skill set required to secure their own money while still maintaining the ability to use it conveniently, and so online banks will be entrusted to keep the money.
I think that page is more a testament to the admins of the servers and the datacenters they are in than the OS they run. It's pretty obvious from the page that there are only 7 groups of servers there.
This was actually developed by Carlos Lange from the University of Alberta. It was constructed in Denmark at the University of Aarhus. And of course the project is run from the University of Arizona.
I was thinking the exact same thing myself. It amazes me how often I read a news article on the net and there are no pictures. Grab a *($#ing brain and get with the millennium.
Let me see if I understand. You delete your email address when it starts getting spam. And you think you've come up with the ultimate solution. Ok then. It's a good thing you copyrighted that.

Probably not. It'd at least need a menu to restart Firefox when it crashes so you don't have to reboot every other hour.
Some robots will be able to crawl along like Swarm-bots, others will be able to climb walls, and others still will be able to fly, he says.
Now if they can make about 99 of these things, equip only 10 of them with umbrellas, make some huge drops in the playing field, and make them look like Lemmings, that will be a story.
The directions to a treasure are pretty easy. What the hell are you doing? Writing it with a spray paint brush in some paint program, encrypting it, attaching it to a DRM'd Word Doc, etc?
I certainly wouldn't set up a competition involving the most imaginitive age group of 14-17, get them to give all their ideas to me, and then steal their rights to them.
I have a Sony Vaio laptop that is giving me troubles with the video driver under Linux. It uses the Neomagick graphics chip which is crappy but should be able to do 2D dosktop stuff just fine.
I thought upgrading the BIOS might get rid of the artifacts I see in X all the time. I went to their site to grab the latest BIOS for the machine. The BIOS on their site is in the form of a bootdisk that will do the upgrade for you. That's great. So what's the problem? The _make_ you run a Windows only.MSI file to create the bootdisk. So I can't create it because I run Linux. Further, it will not run on any other system because it detects the hardware is not compatible with the BIOS update. How about letting us download the flash util and the update so we can make our own bootdisk?
It infuriates me that they would force me to have Windows installed just to update the BIOS.
If Cisco were to release the code into open source now it would send a message to the world that anything they're able to steal they can have. They would never open source this code now for that reason.
Cisco does not want to reward hackers and would be "freedom fighters" for attrosities such as this one.
I think those of us that support the open source movement need to be very careful about the comments we post after incidents like this. Most of us are hard working respectable geeks that don't go busting into corporate networks to steal proprietary code.
Let them open source when they want to. Have the conviction and faith that our movement will gain their trust in time. Stealing their code is not going to get us anywhere.
If you decide that you want to throw cable or fiber or whatever else in the ground you might end up with a pretty hip subdivision, but only for a few years.
Rather than deciding on what technology is the best for your cost situation at this time, instead realize that the costs of these technologies is rapidly changing all the time as new technologies come out.
Instead of giving advice on what technology to use now, I'd advise that you make sure you put flexible use conduits all over the neighborhood so that when you inevitably decide that whatever you're using is no longer fast enough, you can change it all. It would be pretty difficult to get everyone to agree on change if it meant digging up the whole block.

Wow, your insight was stunning... until I realized you could be talking about anything computer related, not just Perl.

You mean you were too lazy to figure out the math and your calculator likes decimals. :)

Is this going to be the end of projects like OpenSSH and OpenSSL being primarily developed in Canada?

I guess there's no way they could have known the Python upgrade story was coming next. :)
