If I had the cash allocated for an mp3 or ogg player right now I would go with the Neuros 442. It's got a 40 GB drive, lets you record audio and video from numerous sources, tonnes of features. Plus the company supports open source development. Shouldn't we all be supporting a company like this? Or has someone here had bad experience with Neuros?
A lot of people have recommended not giving the students root access. How about just limiting their admin priviliges using sudo? If you're using Linux then you could use SELinux or systrace on OpenBSD to limit what root can do.
I'm not sure that's quite comparable. AFAIK, you can use MySQL commercially without linking to it. Unlike Qt, you can certainly commercial develop code that works with MySQL without buying a license for development.
I'm not sure I understand that. Why would you want to use MySQL without linking to it? I'm quoting this from MySQL's site....
If you include the MySQL server with an application that is not licensed under the GPL or GPL-compatible license, you need a commercial license for the MySQL server.
If you develop and distribute a commercial application and as part of utilizing your application, the end-user must download a copy of MySQL; for each derivative work, you (or, in some cases, your end-user) need a commercial license for the MySQL server and/or MySQL client libraries.
If you include one or more of the MySQL drivers in your non-GPL application (so that your application can run with MySQL), you need a commercial license for the driver(s) in question. The MySQL drivers currently include an ODBC driver, a JDBC driver and the C language library.
It's not necessarily driven by cutomers, it's driven by vendors: no vendor like IBM, Sun, or Novell can depend for their commercial business on Troll Tech. If Novell stuck with Qt, basically, Troll Tech could set the terms under which Novell's commercial customers can develop. That simply doesn't make sense, in particular if there is a less restrictive and widely used alternative.
Hmm seems like deja-vu. MySQL seems to be more popular than PostgreSQL for whatever reasons. MySQL commercial users rely on Innobase. Oracle acquires Innobase. Oracle can do whatever they want now with regards to potential future Innobase licensing negotiations with MySQL. So what would be the logical choice now?
British English has been dying for almost 100 years in lieu of America becoming a major power and British English speaking countries losing their status as major powers. Eventually American English will take over.
Really? And you are basing this on.....? British English is the most popular around the world due to past British colonies. Which other country besides the US uses American English?
He said the enterprise services company is now focused on four core areas: Enterprise security, real-time infrastructures, open source and the Microsoft market.
(I'm curious, because I've been thinking of trying out one or more of the BSDs (coming from primarily a Linux background).) OpenBSD, for instance, focuses (from what I've read) primarily on a secure default configuration; whereas, FreeBSD focuses somewhat more on the desktop and usability.
FreeBSD focuses on a lot more than that. 6.0 introduces a lot of security and performance enhancements, check out the release info page. OpenBSD was my first BSD operating system, then I tried FreeBSD and played around with NetBSD. It isn't surprising that I feel the most comfortable with OpenBSD so I might be biased. But coming from someone with a Solaris & HP-UX background, if you want to experience close to real UNIX experience then try OpenBSD first. There are no menu driven utilities like there are in Net and Free so config files have to be edited by hand using a text editor. Plus there is a new release every 6 months and the developers never fail to push the envelope with more cool networking features to play with. And always advocating simpler code, open source drivers, and ofcourse, convenient security features out of the box.
The fact of the matter is that whether it was Gates or Ballmer or some new lackey, they were acting in official capacity as an employee of MS. It is the responsibility of those in charge to make sure no one in the organization could take illegal action. And should the court take action (which the judge said she won't), the execs at MS should be held liable by their shareholders.
It's just an excuse and a lame one at that. I find it really hard to believe that in a large organization such as Microsoft, an agreement like the one mentioned wouldn't make its way through several levels of management and the legal department before getting into the hands of a 3rd party. So it's amazing that a judge actually bought their excuse that a "lower-level-business-person" fucked up. I think a previous/. poster is dead-on: they were either testing the waters to see what they could get away with or were genuinely hoping that no one would have a problem with this.
I deal with RHEL and CentOS quite a bit but I don't use the GUI provided tools to manage servers. I always prefer editing text config files and managing them using Subversion. Are there any SUSE pros here that manage their servers completely without YaST or SuSEconfig? Anyone know of websites that show the text config file equivalents of their GUI counterparts? It's easier to do so with Redhat considering the sheer number of websites devoted to that distribution.
A stupid decision made by a stupid politician. Sorry if I come across as a troll (or off-topic) but Michael Bryant deserves any and every harsh words that come his way. Google his name and anti-pitbull legistlation that was passed by him in Ontario. Read his quotes to get an idea of how his mind works - nothing but reactionary, fear-mongering diatribe. A TV journalist confronted him and put a book in front of his face and asked him to point out a pitbull. He couldn't even do that. Typical ignorant politician passing laws about topics they don't understand.
Hopefully it will get accepted as it is more interesting than 3.8 song lyrics.
OpenBSD 3.8 will be released on November 1st which will offer a number of new features. Among the new features are several changes to the network stack that help reduce the imapact of DoS attacks. SecurityFocus conducted an interview with three of the project's developers in which they share more details about the upcoming release and this new significant change. Check it out and then please support a fine open source project!
It's amazing that people are not bashing this already. I was thinking maybe people wouldn't like how you can't be a "l33t haxx0r" and spend an hour writing a simple socket connection, because that's the general impression I get when there are reviews about C# or PHP.
Then again, I guess this is slashdot.
A post surprised about the lack of bashing when bashing was expected and finally concluding with bashing the news site. That's gold!
but it is also a Python based framework, so if you are a rubynista, then rails is defiantly the way to go.
When I read the word rubynista the first thought that came to mind was "I can totally picture someone saying that on a show like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". I'm not sure that was the intended reaction.
So it isn't unusual at all that their site did not get Slashdotted. Even if they were using Squid it wouldn't be of much help since Slashdotting mainly sucks up your upstream provider's bandwidth, dynamic content or not.
Good point but at the same time if the default document format remains OpenDocument and they allow people to save the generated documents locally then regardless of what Sun and Google decide years down the line, you will still be able to fire up OpenOffice, Abiword, Koffice, etc and load up your documents. Lots of "ifs" here but it would be silly for them to not allow people to save their documents. If they don't, or change their policy later on, then I know I won't be using their service. But for now.... yay! Go Team?

Way to narrow it down.

Because you criticized Google and OpenOffice all in the same post, which appears to be blasphemous on /.
/. account revoked. You have been warned.
If you said something negative about Linux or MySQL in that comment then you might have had your

eDirectory on Linux does a network good.

Sweet! Count me out then.
The article got rejected. I suppose a story about OpenBSD 3.8 song lyrics is more appealing to /. editors =P
The new rc.d system is equally sysadmin-friendly as the SysV equivalent. FreeBSD adopted it as well.

I hear that. Who the hell needs peace on Earth or an end to world hunger when there are bigger things at stake.

It definitely isn't low enough - I'll tell you that much.
