He is right that NDAs are no longer enforceable after the cat is out of the bag. The NDA doesn't cover the linux source code and the Unix(tm) source code, it covers the alleged copy/paste between them, which is not publicly known.

Well, he can't write drivel about being a millionaire any more.
The other MTA send the header information (who is sending the email, and who it is to). The greylist immediately checks the db for the combination of from, to, and MTA's ip address, and gives temporary error *before* the email data is sent (saving network bandwidth).
Any compliant MTA will attempt to resend the email, per the RFCs. Spam software doesn't attempt to resend, or at least not from the same ip or fake user name.
Note that once a from/to/ip combination has resent the message, they're placed in a whitelist, and pass through without delay in the future.
So, the spammers themselves will be of significant help in debugging
and helping to fix the code so they can't circumvent it, won't they?
OSS means anyone who finds how the greylist script is beaten can
figure out a fix and post it. Sounds like the best thing to do IMHO.

So, once the spammers find how to get around the greylist, they'll submit patches to the spam blocking software?
Sun also sells boxes that run linux, and has donated code to the linux kernel, gnome, etc. They make their money from hardware, not software. If you want FUDge, check cowboy neal's underpants.
I saw Todd Snider performing at a local bar/night club 3-4 months ago. Great show. He did that song. Didn't do "My Generation", though, which was the only song of his I could remember.
The Flash 4 bible had some code to detect if the flash viewer was installed.... it was written in javascript, but spit out VB script if it detected IE.
If you were at the slashnet irc "interview" (if you can call it that, given the softball questions), Hemos let it slip out that they had to restrict some editors from deleting comments.
NOTE: using the courts to "change" an amendment is impossible.
Bullshit. The courts "change" how they interpret an amendment all the time.
70 years after the 14th amendment was ratified, the supreme court announced that it prevented the gov't from banning abortion. You read it and tell me how 1) it prevents the gov't from banning abortion and 2) why it took 70 years for anyone to realize it.
If you want an MS Word replacer, look into TeX/LaTeX. It doesn't hold your hand as much, but once oyu've learned the basics, you'll be more productive, and have nicer output, too!
except that they weren't "trying to build an x86 compatible CPU that is faster than both Intel and AMD" -- they were trying to build a low-power x86 compatible chip.
Unfortunately, the CPU isn't the biggest power hog in a notebook, and their cost/power/speed ratio wasn't much better than slowed down pentiums.
I'm actually very excited by their technology. But the only Crusoe laptops I've seen for sale have had tiny screens and huge price tags. It would be less expensive to buy an iBook/PowerBook and virtual PC than most Crusoe laptops.
... is Tanenbaum's books. "Linux is obsolete" might not have been his finest hour (although some of his points were valid, and linux has since added module support to cut down on the monolithic nature), but minix is a learning OS (in the same way pascal is a learning language), and is much easier to understand (and better documented:) than the linux kernel is.
Sourceforge was originally GPL open source, but they did a proprietary fork and abandoned the GPL version (they had copyright on the code, and rewrite the parts they didn't).
I'm sure a lot of slashdot readers are familiar with the bell curve...
If slashdot comments range from -1 to +5, one would expect a peak at
score 2.
Let's use this story as an example, as it currently is moderated:
5: 19
4: 11
3: 19
2: 108
1: 79
0: 60
-1: 16
Just eyeballing the numbers, they don't look like an unreasonable
distribution, although 3/4 should be higher.
Perhaps moderators should be required to browse at -1 nested. If they browse
at +2, they can only see the high-moderated posts. If they browse
threaded, they'll see top-level and high-moderated posts.

I've seen lots of reference books on CD. Search gnutella, kazzaa, eDonkey, etc. for ebooks.
BeOS used indexing for certain attributes, and it is GREAT. Maybe someone is just sour that linux didn't do it first?
Hmmm.... I wonder which one?
No he's not. Al Gore announced he wasn't running late last year, and Hillary! isn't either.
I'd make fun of you for not knowing better, but the current democratic candidates are as boring as hospital oatmeal:
- John Kerry (senator haircut, has more money than ideas)
- Howard Dean (more like Who?-ard dean, but has double digit polls in some states
- Joe Lieberman -- Gores running mate in 2000, sounds like he's whining.
- That rich laywer/one-term senator from down south.
- Bob Graham, patriot act co-author, former florida governer.
- Dick Gepheardt (sp) -- makes Bob Doll (without viagra) look exciting
- Al Sharpton ('nuff said)
- Carol Mosley Braun ('nuff said)
- Dennis Kasinuch (sp) -- Ohio (?) congressman
It'll change over time (who had heard of Bill Clinton in 1990?), but most of them have very little name recognition.Bullshit. The courts "change" how they interpret an amendment all the time.

Keep in mind thinkgeek sells a flashlight that you jerk off to power up.
Well, doesn't it use an ARM processor?

i think it'll turn out ok, unless they decide to have one of their fire drills on the way up.
Just because they "could" be working on linux doesn't mean they "would" be, if not for Syllable.
HOWEVER, let's remember that most NeXT boxes were black and white... maybe they couldn't afford the license fees for color?
Motif looks like a windows 3.0 knockoff, but designed by a committee.
Late last year, they switched from mysql to db2.
"excellent" karma, but that doesn't impress girls in the "real" world.
