I generally run the latest version of major software that I use, and I use Apache's httpd. The version I'm running today is 1.3.29. Did they skip 1.3.30, or was it a silent buggy release...or is the story a typo?
Well, the whole message passing system in Windows is a local root exploit. Until this one is fixed (it never will be without a rewrite of the whole thing), there isn't a need for any other root exploits. I know it's not entirely in the kernel, but it doesn't matter, because there isn't any way to turn off the code that harbors the problem.
That's right. Sometimes you don't want GCC to optimize away things that really should have been there but didn't seem to be doing anything. Some of the straight assembly in the base systems gets sick whenever it's run through certain optimizations. Also, most of the optimizations done by a level 2 or higher 'O' flag don't really do anything to speed up the base system anyway, regardless of whether it manages to not break the hand coded stuff.
A little off-topic maybe, but FreeBSD is pretty easy to set up this way. Install whatever you want from the CD, cvsup your ports tree, and install portupgrade. After you have portupgrade installed and a new ports tree, you can just run portupgrade (after putting whatever flags in/etc/make.conf) and you'll be able to use your system while it's recompiling whichever packages you told it to. You can just have it recompile out of date packages (portupgrade -ak), or you can have it recompile packages older than a certain date (portupgrade -f '<2004-04-30') (whether or not they've been superceded by a new version), or you can just force recompile of all packages (portupgrade -akf).
I have seen him toss out what the Public Polls feel is right or wrong, and take action on the things that will protect the Country from crazy people.
Ok George, we know it's you. Considering that you've made the country significantly more dangerous (who doesn't hate us is an easier question to answer than who does) and planes more easily hijacked (The TIA stuff makes it so that terrorist groups can find out who is on the list and who isn't just by flying a few times before doing something, thereby purging the hijacking ranks to those that will pass without notice. Before, there was a much greater chance of being randomly discovered), I don't see how you think that you can support this clause (the protecting the country from crazy people one, unless by crazy people you mean those that think this country is all about having rights that should be inalienable and not about banning gay marriage). I really hope that you don't strain the military far enough with another war that a draft will be instated. That would be really bad (for me at least, what with moving to another country and all to avoid it).
Clinton was a 100x (at least) better President than G Dubya. At least he didn't base a war on lies and bullshit regarding WMD, while hiring clueless morons (Condoleeza Rice, ok I admit she isn't a moron, but she sure is a big fucking liar and is bad for everyone), letting a theocratic idiot run the war operations (General Clarke), and putting an insufferable Puritan at the top of the food chain as Attorney General (Ashcroft, you know, the one that thinks everyone that purveys or consumes porn should be locked up). At least you're a super fan of big business (letting Microsoft off the hook anyone?) If you think Kerry is comparable to Clinton (I don't), he's definitely the one to vote for.
Besides, modding down, by definition, will affect your karma.

Oh well, the resume is just there for no reason...I should probably take it down. And yeah, it sucks, but I wouldn't submit that one anywhere. ... Ok, I got rid of it...happy now?
If you hate everyone at Slashdot so much and love being a good corporate pawn for the RIAA and Microsoft so much, What the Fuck are you doing on this site trolling?

Kind of like the power button on my laptop that will cause a soft power off if it's just pressed and released, or will kill the power if held for more than ~4 seconds?
Custom cars are pretty easy to get licensed in most states. Even in California it's not that hard yet, but emissions controls are getting more stringent...
Oh come on now, it's obvious that RMS is going to begin supporting binary only software and disclaiming the viability of open source software while suddently coming to terms with the superiority of security through obscurity seeing as how he's moved into the Bill Gates Building.

What with most of the hiring managers being fairly old (possibly pre-vcr), that is probably a skill worth mentioning, and may even get you closer to the top of the stack since they have no idea how to do it themselves!
...but are you actively participating in furthering your economies of scale, increasing your mean time between failures, and lowering your total cost of ownership??
Nah, it's because he gets his Nvidia drivers from anonymous warez sites/kazaa and he uses the ATI drivers that came with the card. He probably noticed an immediate slowdown and random crashes with the Nvidia drivers, but the ATI drivers only crashed a couple times a day.;)
Hehe I don't know about you, but I'm using KDE and not Linux (and I still get the speel checking!! except for speel didn't show up as a misspelled word!), so what do they have to do with each other;)
The parent of my post said that every software producer should be liable if their software fails, specifically including free software. I wasn't disagreeing with your post, I was disagreeing with his.

Oh now I see. According to this default password list, it's the default password for a couple of IBM products.
But why the heck is A52896nG93096a a regularly used easy to guess password? Is there some significance to the pattern that I'm missing?
Google disagrees (only a little). Who do we trust?!
Well, you could make yourself a file called default.ida that does some fun things maybe?

I think you should go for the Mercedes SL600 and the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve.
SL600 is like 3.4 secs to 60 in a nice (cheap at this level, and it would be your 'normal' car) convertible.
ME Four-Twelve is ~2.9 secs to 60 (quicker than the car in the article, and it would slap the enzo around)

That one's built on top of Google, too. That means that it's included by association, just like the ones that are built on top of Yahoo!.
