Thank God I chose to buy Sophos licenses instead of RAV. For anyone who's looking to replace RAV (on linux, bsd, whatever) check out Sophos. They support a plethora of operating systems, hopefully they won't get bought by M$ too;)
I have copies of the.iso files. They're not hard to get.
How do you download security updates (or any updates) for Advanced Server if you don't pay for the licenses? And I have to say, finding the iso files is pretty damn hard.
I've been promoting JBoss against WebSphere and WebLogic, and right now I'm looking like a moron.

Is this a French thing? You know, fucking your buddies.
You know, promoting JBoss aside, just you reiterating that "the French didn't buy our BS about weapons of mass destruction so they're backstabbing us" crap makes you sound like a moron.
Because some of us don't like having our personal email stored on (or ever even passing unencrypted through) our ISP's systems.
If you don't like having your email passed through unencrypted through (any) ISP systems you have two options: 1) send and receive mail only if it has been encrypted using gnupg/pgp or 2) stop using email. That is the nature of SMTP so unless every ISP starts using TLS/SSL and/or every user starts using encryption, you're bound to have your email pass through some mail server unencrypted. Running your own mail server at home isn't going to solve the problem.
If I wanted a more secure architecture than sendmail's (did I mention I run sendmail chrooted as an unprivileged user?) I would use Wietse Venema's Postfix, which also has a segmented architecture and more congenial licensing. If I wanted maildirs instead of mbox, and I didn't feel competent to hack them into my sendmail.mc, I'd run Courier.
I couldn't help notice that they used a really cool looking customized version of Mac OS X (atleast that's what it looked like) when Mystique infiltrated the government building to retrieve a couple secret documents. Does anyone have any screenshots of that?
SCO's decision to hold off this long and not even provide potential future litigants with the opportunity to remove the code from their systems and minimise the alleged damage suggests, to me, that they really don't have a case. I guess we'll find out when they eventually show the code.
Or when they're done cut and pasting the linux code among theirs? Hey, crazier/sleazier things have happened.
In particular, if a relative sends a joke to me and a long list of other people, and one of those people replies to everyone ("ha, that was really funny!!"), the sender gets really confused about getting a confirmation request from someone they haven't heard of before.
You mean that this will deter people from sending those useless mass mailed jokes or flash animations all the time? Why didn't I think about installing TDMA before?!
I tried FreeBSD because I thought it would be neat, and it was, until I had to ask someone for help. Then I went back to Linux. Unfortunately, they don't seem to realize that people are people too. Help is more useful than insults.
Well in my experience, after having used both Linux and BSD, I've found that no matter which OS you're using there are bound to be some really immature people who don't have the best social skills. So I dunno, switching OS's not based on merit or features but remarks you might have got from some 14 year old in an irc chanel (or mailing list) seems kind of drastic to me, even a bit silly. If you can definitively say that there are more BSD trolls than there are Linux ones then I would be very interested to see how you reached that conclusion. I'm assuming it would be based on actual statistics or facts and not by generally saying that on such and such day I asked for help 5 people in a row gave me attitude so therefore the bulk of the BSD users are going to treat me like that. I could also say that for Debian or Linux users in general.
This is probably going to be moderated down to troll or flamebait but it's interesting based on current events. Linus said that before he started working on Linux he thought about using *BSD instead but due to the law suit that was going on then, he chose to develop his own kernel.
Now that the BSD lawsuit has long been resolved and a some what immunity has been granted to the bsd operating systems, Linux is being placed in a similar situation. I wonder how long this will take.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy your Clie from and was it $200 after taxes? I've been hoping to pick up a relatively small PDA that will let me do the usual scheduling/contacts/organize song and dance but also allow me to hook up a small keyboard and ssh into a remote box to check stats (or whatever). Originally I thought it would be best if I could do this on the road and wireless but I don't know how feasible that is considering the state of wireless providers in Toronto. For now I guess I'll settle for a cheap, reliable PDA for organizational purposes.
There's no way to prevent it from spitting up gobs of annoying dialog boxes. This is especially annoying when you're playing some 3D game and zone alarm tries to put up a box on the screen asking you to allow it to go online.
Umm, bring up the ZoneAlarm window/interface, click on Alerts & Logs and then under Alert Events Shown select Off. And as far as allowing other programs to go online, click on Program Control then click on the Programs tab and add the executable which generates the alert. Really, it isn't that hard. Atleast it shouldn't be for someone who can setup a BSD firewall.

4. So called lost transactions were merely delayed to another day not lost, therefore there was zero damage only righteous frustration of SCO.
Heh, you make it sound like someone actually surfs the SCO website other than the/. readers constantly hitting CTRL+R each time a new SCO story is published.
I'm pretty surprised that MySQL and Postgres don't have better support for it. Especially Postgres, since transaction support is really the one big key that makes clustering possible. Maybe no one has really had an itch to make it heppen yet.
The itch is there and people are scratching away. No idea how long it will take for it to be incorporated into a stable release though.
Well, based on all the software I've ever seen, pretty damn hard.
Have you seen this piece of software? Regardless of what your opinions are about DJB, he delivers what he promises.
Companies like M$ which spread FUD about open-source software claiming that there's no liability or anyone to approach when shit happens should step up to the plate and hold themselves up to those same standards. Especially since they're charging their customers insane amounts of $.
Apple (I'm assuming he was referring to OS X) was mentioned a couple times. Is this guy talking out of his ass like all the other FUD SCO seems to be spewing out? I thought OS X (based on *BSD) had nothing to do with SysV. And what's with all the Redhat bashing? "They barely kept their head above the water?" Somehow SCO seems to fit that description way more than Redhat.
IBM claims we're about to go out of business, but we've never been as strong a company as we are now. If IBM said that last year, when we were on the ropes, well, OK, that would be different. But we expect to continue to grow our source code revenues, and our projected revenues next quarter will double that of what it is now.
Yea you keep telling yourself and your investors that. If you repeat something over and over again it might turn out to be true! Everything considered I hope they first get a brutal beating in court and then get bought out by IBM. I have this really scary picture in my mind seeing M$ getting their grubby little hands on SCO's IP.
Personally I think shifting taxes onto polluters isn't a bad thing. North Americans could tighten their belts a bit and easily have a 6% reduction.
People love their SUVs and cheap electricity from coal.
Absolutely. I just don't understand this mentality "I want to keep my children safe, I'm concerned about their safety so I'm going to drive around this tank for a vehicle. Pollution? Me driving my one SUV isn't going to contribute that much. I mean look around.. everyone else is doing it.. oh..." People want to insure their childrens', spouse's or their safety if they get into an accident but don't give a rat's ass about the air that they're polluting which will probably have detrimental effects on their health in the long run. Here in Ontario it's absurd the amount of smog alerts we have every summer which only seems to get worse annually. Despite all that, I see people idling in all types of vehicles. And to top that, I can't even count how many times I've seen people idling when they aren't even in the frickin cars!

Check out the Netwinder line of small servers. I'm running a couple here with the Debian ARM port.
