Are the rumors that you will be spinning off a sister site called Anti-Anti-Anti-Online to dispell the malicious accusations and deprecations of your obviously magnanimous professionalism and intellect and to further bolster the image of Anti-Online and your integrity as a computer- security-expert- guru- enthusiast, true?
Why was this question submitted? If slashdot is going to arrange an interview, the least it should do is submit serious questions. They can leave the jokes for others.
Unforunately for you poor non-Statesmen (non-americans), patents are usually respected internationally. So, it may be a problem of our legal system, but it affects everyone .
Too bad I don't have any moderator points. This has to be one of the most insightful comments I have ever read on slashdot. I'll think you'll get people thinking.
I've alreadk implemented mk K2Y changes. Whk are kou people still kelling about this stork?

Red Hat Buying Cygnus?

I've not touched a RedHat system since 5.1, and I don't plan to do so ever again.
I guess this is where the divide is. I've only used 5.2 and 6.0 and I think this distribution, while quirky, is all that and then some. Not having used the older distributions, I can't make a judgement on the quality. I have seen it stated that Redhat made a quantum leap from 5.1 to 5.2. You might want to give them a shot and see what all the fuss is. Or not. That's the great thing about Linux. You have many choices.
I didn't know that the term originated in that book. I just checked Amazon and it has over 200 reviews! I'm going to stop over at B&N, grab a cup of coffee and read a few pages to see what the commotion is all about.
Slashdot is great. You ask a question and it gets answered...and quickly too. I thought I was going to get flamed for asking a "stupid" question, so thanks to everyone who responded kindly.
...something much larger than I've grokked at this point.
This question isn't directed at you, but I'm curious...outside of posts to slashdot, or writing in general, does anyone actually use the term "grok" in conversation? I have yet to hear one person say it and I work with some serious geeks.
I love it that MS is going to get sued out of the ying-yang! I hope to find a class action suit so I can jump on the bandwagon. I won't be greedy. A couple thousand (with requisite treble damages, of course) should do it.
Thanks MS, for you infinite stupidity!
P.S. Make sure to thank your legal team, also. they were the best!
Compaq, more so than any other computer manufacturer, embraces these new mediums
I didn't know Compaq was in the business of contacting the dead. Well, I guess the way they've run their business into the ground, it's probably appropiate.
This device, at 9.9 oz, is almost 4 times the size of Diamond's Rio, which is 2.75 oz. I guess the difference is probably attributatble to the IBM hard drive. I'll probably stick with the Diamond Rio and hope the flash memory prices come down. I think I can survive jogging 5 miles with just a measly one hour of music.
This device sounds interesting, but not for my needs. I don't plan on doing anything for 800 consecutive hours, and if I did, I don't know if I have 800 hours of music that I would want to listen to.

I wouldn't worry about some Anonymous Coward critiquing Redhat. The recent IPO and should indicate that there are more people who disagree with his opinion.
Sun's incentive in this collaboration is to get the ball rollin on it's JINI technology. What better place to go than the King of appliances? Sony is probably ticked at MS' overtures into the gaming market that Sony all but owns and sees this as a way to smack MS down a bit. Once again, MS steps on the toes of potential corporate partners in its all-consuming quest to be everything to everyone.
I must say I find the notion of universities becoming a collective police force for the RIAA more than a little disturbing.
Would you consider the university a collective police force for the automobile industry if someone from the local Honda dealership noticed that one of the cars that was stolen off its lot was parked outside a dorm? You don't like the physical property analogy to intellectual property? What if the kids had copies of, let's say a pc game, that my wife designed? While you may not think it's a big deal to have fun amongst the boys and put the game on the server for your friends to use, you would be taking food out of my mouth.
CM is doing nothing more than protecting its interest by respecting the law.
While what we did as students was not strictly legal, it was pretty damn harmless
You know, I wish I had the luxury of determining which laws I thought were breakable because what I was doing wasn't realing "harming" anyone.
They didn't search the student's home computers. They searched the public storage area that was allocated from the university's network. They can do whatever they want with their property.
You can certainly disagree with these statements; I do, at least partially. But for the purposes of this lawsuit, they're now facts, and the penalties imposed on Microsoft (if any) will be based on those facts.
They may also provide the basis for a future appeal. The judge may have erred in trying to make a distinction between client and server pc's when the distinction is not all that clear. Linux computers are easily set up as either client desktops or servers and Microsoft is fast trying to proceed with a one size fits all OS that serves both the client desktop and server markets.
Additionaly, the Judge severely diminishes the increasing trend to move popular consumer applications to the web, thereby increasing the need for server pc's. Even MS recognizes this growing trend and is re-thinking its licensing fee strategy to better fit the new(?) paradigm.
As such, I think any news along these lines may wind up in the hands of appellate judges. I can almost hear the MS legal team saving Compaq's release now...that is, if they weren't privy to the release before hand;)
There wil probably be some useful applications but they primarily won't happen in the family home. I mean, do we really need to microwave dinner 5 minutes before we get home while driving on the turnpike. The devices will turn up in places for hotels, office buildings...places that naturally lend themselves to networking. Security will definitely be an issue as you've mentioned.
Folks are used to pretty interfaces now. That's all kids see in school from day one. Nice Encarta applications and games, games, games. Folks in the workplace would probably revolt if they had to go back to those text apps, too.
There is a small population out there who find GUI's either difficult too work with or wasteful in terms of computing power, but the key word is small. I just don't see a lot of effort being placed into recoding those apps in text mode for Linux when there is so much more compelling work that needs to be done in other areas.

Yes. It was going to make an excellent Christmas gift...to myself ;>)
I expected to get a few of these comments. JP may be using an alias, but it certainly isn't mochaone.

Do we have the makings of the next monopoly?
Thank you for agreeing with me. See my response to Signal 11's post for my definition of "community".
CM's policy, while not regularly enforced, stated that copyrighted materials were not to be placed on the share drives.
The students were'nt kicked out of school. They just have to drag their butts to the lab now. All in all, a light punishment.

The timing of this announcement disturbs me.
On friday, MS is ruled a monopoly and the Judge asserts that MS has no competition in the PC market.
On monday, Compaq releases a statement indicating that Linux accounts for 50% of its server setup.
Compaq is MS' biggest corporate customer. MS uses Compaq computers in its corporate systems.
Does something sound fishy here?
