Security is an illusion. What if you had a stamped key (the old kind) and someone stole that from you. Rather than standing next to you (is this suspicous?), they could just take your key and run off with your car.
First, some interesting phrases: "immature Linux ecosystem", "implemented an e-commerce... decision to go with Linux...We had not budgeted the e-commerce system setup." "Microsoft executives will take any wins they can."
Sounds like an internal memo? Or maybe some kind of hyped up article.
Has anyone ever seen Starship Troopers? Remember the little hyperlinks in the newscasts in the movie. Reading the article gave the feeling a being a human getting ready to fight huge intelligent bugs.
If we create the Funniest-Joke-Ever GPL'ed open source project and put our free time, I mean development time, together we could unleash upon those politicians and tax lawyers the most lethal joke ever!
Think of monty Python people! It's frickin' European!
I find it amazing no one mentioned the Casio Be-300 or the E-100 and E-105. The last two have excellent, very clear screens. The Be-300 is great, but not under any kind of sunlight.
All of the models can be had for less than $50 on ebay. With a little tweaking the Be-300 can run many PocketPC programs.
No, you're just not seeing the old bait and switch. They'll either make it the default somehow MP3 off of a music site. Or they will advertise it with something like 50% better compression, or better sound quality. Then by the time people have switched, they will start to realize they've been had and all of their music files have been "corrupted" with this.
Fortunatly there is no pefect security, or unfortunatly.
linux version 2.4.18 initially, with updates planned soon....
OpenZaurus 3.3.5 is already based on the 2.4.18 kernel but it some major problems with recognizing compact flash cards inserted after boot-time. Now, the 2.6.1 kerenel ported to the Zaurus would impress me, byt Lycoris is more interested in forking and thus gaining market interest than contribution to an excellent, but understaffed (four volunteers!) openzaurus.
According to Cheek, DL-PPC adds customizations to the OpenZaurus, Opie, and other open source project code bases that improve usability....
Meaning that they use everyone else's code, but add a "feauture" to make the background changable. Unfortuanatly they didn't recieve the memo. This can already be done easily.
DL-PPC will include the Samba-based Lycoris "Network Browser,".It's Opie-based PIMs will support synchronization with Lycoris's Desktop operating systems...
So they are adding nothing that isn't already there, but featuring their Logo will give the Zaurus credibility? Samba has been ported, as has Apache.
DL-PPC will support a variety of text-input methods...
It does already! Ever seen a Zaurus?. It possesses a thumbboard and the Qtopia enviroment has a Jot-styled input screen and a virtual keyboard, and even more will be found in the Opie fork.
What is it that Lycroris is contributing back to Linux? I must have missed that. They seemed more keen on hyping the idea or porting linux to a linux platform.
I think this is a little improvement, but if they had an option to change the panel of the "favorites" I would see it as a bigger step toward an integrated desktop.
Possibly the chips could be designed in parallel with an opensource kernel (can't think of one at the moment) and built like a amiga or atari style machine. Hardware, which is openware, would be a bunch of medium grade processors each running SMP on cheap processors.
I think that a good and durable machine could be developed with a high speed bus and provide most, if not more speed than people need.
I agree, and C/NET articles usually repeat their concerns, even the most minor ones.
I personally use 2.6 test 11 and while I can't tell if it is anymore stable than 2.4, it is much easier to compile (very few errors vs. vanilla 2.4), and the layout is far easier to understand.
I think it is a good thing to make people move to the 2.6 for new features. The 2.4 kernel will become more stable as less features are added, in theory, and it is open source. I mean they can just add the code themselves like what SGI mentioned about what they did with XFS in the article.
In my day we didn't have fancy smancy email. We sent messages by shooting old people out of cannons with messages written on dry, combustable paper. And we liked it!
1. "it has more options than Lycoris' or Lindows' installers"
2. "...fail to see how my internal IDE IBM drive is "removable" (it can be "unmounted", but it is not "removable"), while my CD-RW is also titled "removable" (correctly) but it has a hard disk icon instead of a CD-rom icon and so it is extremely confusing..." ok, wah! Abandonwhining.com
3. "A personal request would be to add nano or pico or jed to the distro. If a new Linux user gets stuck on text mode for some reason, using vi or emacs is not really an option for most." If it is not one thing, it is the three other things...
4. "The biggest problem:"..was recompiling the kernel to support my network card. I hate 8139 card, too.
5. " Java applications are downright ugly and out of place..." and thus is the Linux fashion show.
Another big WHATEVER from osnews.com. Keeps the insightful reviews comming.
Homer: I know. And this perpetual-motion machine she made today is a joke! It just keeps going faster and faster. In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

Take karate and forgetaboutit.
What? No paperclip?
All DIY projects require at least one paperclip. It is some kind of understood rule.
Where can I go and get a degree in being a corporate board member or a CEO?
They seem to be low skill, high pay jobs. And if you get fired, you get a firing bonus in the millions.

Is this what a Microsoft employee feels like?
I don't know about these articles. He starts by suggesting that some people would be better off abandoning windows for linux.
Then he finishes by offering ways to run windows, win4lin, within a virtual machine on linux.
I am getting tired of cheerleaders. Journals, I don't think this one, install, manage, or write code for any open-source projects.
He doesn't offer any solutions or ideas, just researches other peoples suggestions and reformats them.

Will it feature a bunch of stoned out hippies in a VW microbus?! I want tickets...!
which are they patening?
No this is not the funniest joke ever, but...

Mod Me Parallel, please.
One Benchmark to rule them all.
One Tree to find them.
One Journal to bring them all.
And in the Directories bind them

I think it is interesting how important security is on slashdot to people, but there is no mention about any anti-(spam | virus | worm).
There is also no firewall? Come on...
I can't recommend it, anyway, because it doesn't have Nethack.

IF it is criminal to film with a camera then only criminals will have cameras.
Maybe a seven day waiting period after a new movie comes out to buy a camera. A "cooling off" period.
In california, if it can "shoot" something, then it eventually be banned.

the military did this as early as the 80's and NASA had done this in a project of their own
Homer: I know. And this perpetual-motion machine she made today is a joke! It just keeps going faster and faster. In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
Since there is no such thing as bad publicity this has to be considered a good thing.
Think about it, the article mentions Red Hat and lets them discuss what think of the whole matter.
I had one of those tandy arm robots once. It was cool....like me
Don't panic. It won't work until version 3, so there will be plenty of time for businesses to work around it.
