I love the comment they threw in about how "Unix" has had great multithreading since FOREVER and NTPL is helping get into that league (RHES is "coming of age"). Yeah... Care to be more specific? I certainly hope they didn't mean Unixware or something...
The CC label is REQUIRED for some government computer work for which linux is perfectly suited, but until recently had to be passed up. We could use Trusted Solaris (yawn) or Win2K (barf). Then came SuSe, but we liked RedHat better. Now we will be able to have RedHat in the mix, which should keep things interesting.
It's not so much that the people who actually check the security care what OS it is... it's the people who approve the classification of information systems, etc. you know, pencil pushers, that give a shit about the Common Criteria cert on XYZ software.
I'm glad RedHat finally scrounged up some money from under the couch to remove this roadblock.
I heard it SUCKS... feels totally unnatural. If you're so infeeble that you can't work power-assisted brakes, you have a chauffer... so what the hell were they thinking....
risk sharing isn't supposed to scare you into doing anything. It's supposed to explain why you feel compelled to spend time searching for and downloading music on the Internet.
You don't trust the record companies or agree with their price structure. So you go around them... betting that your time is worth less than the extra money you're spending for the "service" of the record companies packaging and delivering it to you.
He's basically saying if the record companies stopped being such tight-asses and gave you the benefit of the doubt, or cut listeners some slack with well-thought-out services, then it wouldn't be an issue (duh).
The reason you can't tell is because the level of detail for things you're supposed to notice on screen is assumed to be one where they know you have 480 vertical lines of resolution. So they scale everything to be legible at that resolution when framing shots.
But then compare the 480 to 1080 when you're looking at the pattern on someone's suit. Or the grass in a football game. It will look at lot less detailed in the upscaled content.
There is no way (information theortically) to restore the 1080 lines from 480 source. Each line in between could be ANYTHING, while the ffdshow algorithm can only produce one guess. With 600x1920 pixels to guess per frame, what are the chances it's going to get it exactly right?
Come on... explain that to me. Does a 200kb library have enough sense to identify the actual OBJECTS in the 480p content and then redraw them as they actually are at 1080p?
It looks like someone put my asian neighbor's civic on blocks, took everything that wasn't riveted, then took apart the inside of an XBox, put all of that into a garbage compacter, then barfed into the ebay submission form.
Since I can't read the site, I'm going to have to assume that version of the events leading to this moment of Slashdot disgrace. It's entirely plausible.
Not sucking Microsoft's dick if I can avoid it.

That doesn't sound like this Applied Digital Solutions company to me...
1) create a file system snapshot using fssnap and back that up.
2) mount -o remount,ro,nologging/your/volume backup then remount,rw,logging
The remount will cause the log to be finalized, buffers flushed. You are advised to remount ro if you want ufsdump to have the highest chance of success (it can still fail if logging is disable, but it still is mounted rw)
then they are entering a business transcation with you.
At that point, feel free to inquire over, and over, and over again about all of their services, and not purchase anything. And their upstream marketing service providers. Chat up their 1-8xx call center staff. Try to see if they're free on Friday.
You will strangely find the front pages to all their websites VERY interesting, worthy of 200 views per hour. Especially all the images in the/images directory.
It's pro business, after all. Pro-ISP and Pro-Telcom... hehehe.
you should really turn on logging... it increases the speed threefold. It's retarded that they don't shout it across the hills (you have to stumble across it in the manpages or newsgroups). just add "logging" to the mount options in vfstab.
After reading the article, I was mildly enthused about the coming of a new version of Solaris. The promised feature set seemed quite exciting, for the user, programmer, and administrator in me.
And I don't support Sun unless there's no other option.
Meanwhile I only have feelings of dread about Longhorn, even if it will be much easier to come by.
Perhaps that's why I dread it.
I hope a free-for-home-use license for it becomes available...
How many times does someone have to clarify the point that the linux kernel's TCP/IP stack has been rewritten AT LEAST once since it had BSD roots?
And we are to ignore VxWorks as well? It's stack is specially designed for embedded workloads.
Then there's Cisco's OS. Oh, and Windows NT 5.x stack is completely different than the BSD one. It's just the sockets interface that's grafted on top of it that carried some Berkerley copyrights.
Now that I think about it, it seems that only operating systems using the BSD TCP/IP stack are the BSDs themselves! (MacOSX included)
Only one machine of each configuration is "supported".
By a wild coincidence these machines save all the files it downloads off the network, which just so happen to be used as local repositories to update the other machines.
Those machines are NOT supported. OTH, if I can't duplicate what's wrong on unsupported machine X of type Z with supported machine Z-prime, then clearly it's a hardware issue and not RH's fault.
I see no problem with this. Neither do my superiors.
there is nothing stopping you from running rpmbuild on all of those and starting up your own repository.
You just can't claim it's RHEL. Even if the resulting bundled ISOs had the exact same MD5sums. (I wouldn't do that purposefully anyway, not a good idea).
You could call yourself "Beanie-Cap Enterprise Distribution" or something.

It's not even really a standard but it is in no way Microsoft specific, anymore at least.
If you want MS-only... look at WMV.

Hardening your Mac at boot time.
just enter OpenFirmware and setenv security-mode command. Then setenv security-password "passwd" (or use the "password" command).
Works on Suns too.
Those script kiddies are dumber than I thought. And you'd pay for the ability to rewrite a header?
That's just sad.
I just select and middle click in Mozilla.
