I'm not really knowledgable about most of what Sun does, but they have been capitolizing on SCO's FUDfest against Linux, and that kinda leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
The Libertarians will continue to gain a support in the Senate as long as....
The Senate will no longer be of any concern to us.
I've just received word that the President has dissolved the Supreme Court permanently. The last remnants of the the Bill of Rights have been swept
away.
That's impossible! How will the President maintain control without the bureaucracy?
The state governors now have direct control over
territories. Fear will keep the local governments in line. Fear of this Act.
I think it would be very interesting if instant runoff voting was established for presidential candidates. Since your vote also includes your second, third, etc. choices, you don't have to worry about wasting your vote. It might make the political landscape much more interesting. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening anytime soon.
Well, I think making open-source implementations of.NET is a good idea, but it's certainly not ideal. As I'm sure the Samba, WINE, and OpenOffice.org developers would agree, maintaining compatibility with a standard controlled by any hostile party, especially Microsoft, is an uphill battle. I don't predict legal battles, as Microsoft hasn't done that yet, but Microsoft will continue to play the upgrade game, changing the standards and generally making things difficult.
I'm waiting for Parrot to mature. It's a register-oriented bytecode interpreter, designed for Perl 6, but with other languages in the wings. When it gets Perl's libraries, Ruby's syntax, real threads, and great speed, I think it will do well.
At my highschool, yes, we have (I swear they are called this) "Internet Driver's Licenses," which consist of stickers on the back of our IDs. To use the internet, you have to have your ID on the computer, sticker side up. All the freshmen had to watch the world's stupidest video (the car analogy was kept throughout) before they could get their sticker.
I've seen firsthand how incredibly retarded this policy is. Just forcing people to attend a class or to watch a training video does absolutely nothing. And don't get me started about the censorship, which blocks perfectly reasonable sites but fails to block the objectionable ones.
Simple solution: whenever the dealer looks up the key geometry in the database that associates it with the VIN, a record should be kept. If your car is stolen, and a key was made the hour before, you obviously didn't leave the key in the igniton.
"We'd also like to add that while we have no idea what the cause is, we're certain it isn't terrorism, or even msblaster. Absolutely sure. It must have been corperate culture or something. This interview is over."
Well, there isn't much evidence, but would there be? That's the type of thing that gets covered up. (Notice how the media is careful to call msblaster.exe blaster, stripping the ms?) Yeah, my guess is someone brought an infected laptop onto the SCADA net. What would happen?
The systems are designed to run without monitoring. However, without human intervention, the systems aren't very good at staying up in exceptional circumstances. My guess is a computer failure made the grid much more vulnerable, to the extent where something routine brought it down.
Something else to add: a while ago in Ohio, a nucler power plant had its control systems down for a while as a result of msblaster.exe. Thankfully, the plant was off anyway, but it shows that sysadmins are just as bad in power infrastructure as they are in the rest of the commercial sector.
I think it depends on when they quit. Anyone working at SCO at this date is either evil, or just completely spineless and devoid of moral values, and no, they don't deserve to work in the industry again. Surely any coder would realize he can quit now or be laid off within the year. They're not staying because they need the money, realisticly, the intangible losses would be incredible. Besides, I don't think there are a lot of code monkeys in SCO's trenches anymore.
McCarthy was before my time, but from what I've read, he acts like McBride more than anyone else in history. And yes, McBride is just bubbling with accusations of guilt by association, blaming the entire community for the DoS attacks (if they even exist.) and the highly questionable claims themselves. Would you indemnify McCarthy's campaign and office staff? I think not.

OK, so why aren't RedHat, SuSE, the EFF, OSDL, etc. doing the same? Particularly RedHat, in the battle with ten times the cash SCO has, ought to help the OSS leaders get heard. And why isn't IBM calling attention to them?
Am I missing something? I thought mod_gzip or similar took care of this at the application level, so with a compliant browser (and most are) and server, it's possible for even HTML and CSS to be compresed.

I wonder what we are doing wrong. Does anyone here know what must be done to get mainstream or investor press attention? Is it an issue of content (as in, we aren't off-the-wall, so we're boring) or just that we're not bugging the right people?
Yeah. If they were reaching the limit, they'd probably be slowing down at this point, putting out a bunch of repetitious crap, with no hope for variety in sight. Luckily, that's not happening.

Critical difference... evolution is real, Microsoft's security isn't.
Perhaps that only constricts the car manufacturer, but not its owner. Maybe it's like matress tags.

You mean an industry might actually listen to what customers want, and provide it? Nah...
