For one,.NET has the Microsoft marketing machine behind it, allowing Mono to piggy-back off of that. Technical merits aside, this gets.NET/Mono more developers, which helps.
Carp aren't good to eat, and they're very boney. The problem is that they're wiping out the fish that are good to eat, such as bass and perch, as the article says.
Exactly right. Keep it cheap and simple and you'll have less trouble all the way around. An access point/router with a good antenna, and a broadband account that doesn't have restrictions on usage will be all you need. You'll probably spend about $200 on initial setup, and maybe $100/month on the ISP, and that's it. Keep your users happily gulping down caffeine.
Now, then... if you really want something geeky to do.. route their web browsing through a transparent proxy server, replacing banner ads with ads for items off the cafe's menu:P
It's also going across Northern Louisiana. From what I gather, it's an old trail, much like "Old Spanish Trail" which is farther south, where it is now US-90 and Interstate 10 from Florida to California
Although Canopy only owns a 6% stake in Trolltech, they have a 75% stake in EBIZ, who operated the now defunct LinuxMall.com and still sell Linux-related products. I've met some of the managers and bought products from them in the past. Unfortunately, I no longer will consider them when making purchases.
That's called an 802.11 bridge, and they've been available since the beginning. They're just a bit expensive, and if you think about it, if you've got a wire and all anyway, why not just run it to the hub?
Cheat for power pad:
put socks on your hands, and make circular motions on the pads with your fists. When done right, your player will zoom to the finish line.
Of course, there are also sports games, which at least aren't about killing people. Not much educational value, but they do keep a lot of people interested.

This is not free speech. If you are forced to pay for it, it is not free. And you do pay for it, however minimally it may seem. Bandwidth, drive space, etc, are all wasted to house and transport spam.
Would you call it free speech if somebody pasted a sticker detailing human rights abuses in China to your car?? I call it defacement, and and forcing me to use MY resources (not free) to remove and repair their damage.
It doesn't matter what the message is, you do not have the right to force it on someone else. There is no double standard, just idiots who don't understand the meaning of the word freedom.
If there were some law passed that made writing software that does this illegal, then there would be _another_ YRO article about how the evil government is taking away the file-sharing rights of the masses.
Bugs and incompatibilities are taken care of by the maintainer of the software. If RedHat has a patch to fix a problem, they can submit it.
Added features? adding features would nullify the security guarantee for one, and would turn the product into something else. If a distribution maintainer wants to change the configuration of the package, they can easily do so with another RPM.
This is how E-Smith is able to ship Qmail in its distribution, and it works quite well.
The license does not prohibit binary re-distribution. From the license:
-----
May we distribute binaries?
You may distribute a precompiled package if
* installing your package produces exactly the same files, in exactly the same locations, that a user would obtain by installing one of my packages listed above;
* your package behaves correctly, i.e., the same way as normal installations of my package on all other systems; and
* your package's creator warrants that he has made a good-faith attempt to ensure that your package behaves correctly.
All installations must work the same way; any variation is a bug. If there's something about a system (compiler, libraries, kernel, hardware, whatever) that changes the behavior of my package, then that platform is not supported, and you are not permitted to distribute binaries for it.
You may distribute an operating system that includes a precompiled package under the same rules.
that's assuming it HAS bugs, which it doesn't. And if it did have verifiable bugs, then DJB would be the first to make the fix and make it available.
AND if DJB STILL wouldn't fix the bugs, then they can distribute their own patches with scripts to apply them.
Thanks. I was not aware of the volleys between djb and RedHat about actually distributing the packages.
I can see how it would be difficult for RedHat to bundle djbdns or qmail, since with the license, changing file locations is a no-no. However, I wish RedHat should make some efforts to include them in the distro. Especially in the light of the recent BIND issues. I use djbdns, qmail, and publicfile myself. They are great products.

I went to a LAN party there during ALS. I really liked the refrigerators-turned-server-racks

Does anyone have a source for inexpensive free-standing towers?

You've figured it out! The whole "conspiracy theory" thing is just a conspiracy cooked up by Reynolds to sell more aluminum foil!
And don't forget about 127/8. Where most people should stay, anyway.

Of course, they could say the same thing about a ditch-digging course in many states.
Of course, the better description of your demographic is, "people who don't like to pay for stuff."

complete with bots; only, by bringing drinks, they're actually useful!

I think we need a new moderation choice: 'Didn't get the joke'
The E-Smith Distribution, which is based on RedHat, includes Qmail.
It does this by including one RPM that includes the full, working, approved binary, plus another RPM that applies E-Smith's customizations to it.
This BS about the license not ALLOWING RedHat to include it in a distribution is false, and there is working evidence to the contrary.
Bugs and incompatibilities are taken care of by the maintainer of the software. If RedHat has a patch to fix a problem, they can submit it.
Added features? adding features would nullify the security guarantee for one, and would turn the product into something else. If a distribution maintainer wants to change the configuration of the package, they can easily do so with another RPM.

What is this about djbdns and qmail and RedHat? Is there a story there that I've missed somehow?
Please post a link.
