  5. Why was I moderated flamebait? on IBM, Intel Set Up $10m SCO Defense Fund · · Score: 0

    There is a good chance that there maybe a code. Just because the slashdot crowd is anti-sco dosen't mean I'm wrong. ouThe Kernel is huge, and does need a proper audit. If it was properly audited and the Kernel was found to be clean, SCO would go out of business, which is what you all want? Right?

    Please moderators don't take your anger out on me, because there is 0.1% chance that SCO could be right.

  6. Ummm. on IBM, Intel Set Up $10m SCO Defense Fund · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Those $10 could be spent on more useful stuff, like doing a full audit of the source code to see what REALLY is in linux. The Linux source bz2s are over 35Mb in size now, who knows what is inside them? There is bound to be some old code laying around that may of been leaked in by an ex caldera/sco employee.

    Hacvoc pennington WILL be booed and hissed at! He is infamous for ruining Gnome. I swithed from Gnome to KDE because he ruined it with his HIG and the awful tool gconf-editor that he wrote.

    Why this page ?

    This page is a list of vulnerabilities that remain unpatched, it is our hope that the increased awareness brought forth may help further the research necessary to properly secure them.
    Vulnerabilities listed on this page work (among others) with the latest versions of Internet Explorer, with all patches installed.
    Until proper patches have been provided, the only fix to some of these vulnerabilities is to disable scripting.

    This page is, and always will be, a work in progress. This is not a definitive list of vulnerabilities.

    It seems a real shame that apple decided to put four heavy batteries in them. Couldn't they be more innovitve?

    Why don't they generate the power from the users keystrokes, or send little eltrical signals over the bluetooth protocol?

    My ordinary USB mice don't need batteries, so I don't think that a bluetooth mouse should.
