Dude, it's written in Perl. Take the code and strip the mp3 support and add.ogg support. That way, in addition to feeling smug because you are SUCH an 3l33t h4x0r, you'll be doing something instead of bitching!
(just a practical suggestion...)
that's nonsense. Most schools ( and I'm a unix admin @ one ) have Internet connectivity that was purchased with grant money in the mid to late 90s. Dual T1s, maybe for a large school like Florida a T3. There are a few places with big I2 connections, true, but Internet 2 is only for connecting to other places with I2, so it's still necessary to maintain a conventional internet connection.
please be a little bit more well informed before shooting off your mouth. Bandwidth is expensive and not plentiful.
Unfortunately they sell laptops with a choice of two wireless cards: the intel "centrino" thing and a broadcom 'satan' card, neither of which have Linux drivers...

While I agree it's necessary to patch systems, this is hardly like the Blaster worm. I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say that 99.99% of all sendmail installations in the world don't use these rulesets. And anyone who IS using them is likely to be a sendmail weenie anyhow and they'll just take a break from writing their AI Chess program in sendmail.cf and patch it themselves.
It would be more effective if they actually HAD any job openings. As it is, it's sorta childish and lame. Nah nah, I won't hire and SCO people, nah nah... I mean even if I *could* hire people I wouldn't hire any SCO people... I mean... I mean... of all the people we aren't hiring because we don't have any openings, SCO people are at the top of the list.
If *in fact* "Open Source leader" Eric Raymond does know who was launching DDoS attacks on SCO, I think he's obligated to turn them over to relevant authorities for prosecution. Both ethically and (IANAL) legally.
Why don't you try... NOT CLICKING THE FUCKING LINK if you don't want to read the story? If you don't want to read stories about SCO... the DON'T READ THE STORIES ABOUT SCO!
or is that too simple? Is it better to click the link, read the story, find a good spot to bitch, and then bitch and bitch about how much you don't want to read the story? FINE, don't read it! Bye!/me sits to watch his karma disappear
No, that's MY point. Free as in freedom means commercial developers are free to develop ANYTHING they want, as long as they are willing to give their customers the same freedoms they got.
Oh, you mean, commercial developers ought to be able to take the work that TrollTech did and create non-free stuff out of it, sell it, forbid their customers from reverse-engineering, modifying, or distributing the results, and NOT pay TrollTech for their efforts?
Sorry. The GPL exists precisely to prevent that sort of thing.
"There's nothing to stop Troll Tech from becoming unreasonable in their licensing demands... crippling all commercial KDE development. Since KDE is a desktop environment, commercial development is pretty important."
Yes there is, it's called the GPL. If TrollTech decides to do something loathsome in a future release of Qt, the previously released versions will still be there under the GPL, and anyone who wants to will be able to modify it, fork it, etc to their hearts content.
The GPL is what ensures that the freedom in free software -- both free as in beer and free as in RMS -- STAYS free.
Instead of letting the Russians build a nuclear power plant, why don't we put a dormitory full of cute 19 year old babes with little green antenna's on their head and nothing else, then charge $19.95 per month for subscriptions to "NASA MARS VOYUER"
hey... it *could* work...
is remove sco support from Samba 3.0 so that./configure doesn't work under SCO. Whether they want to penalize SCO users because SCO themselves are wild assholes is another matter....
"Look at Ximian," you suggest... ok... let's look at Ximian. You can download their Red Carpet install and their Ximian Desktop free of charge. Free as in beer & free as in freedom. (actually, is XD2 GPL? Possibly not... either way, free as in beer).
So anyhow, Ximian was founded as this totally idealistic company that gave away their software for free to get people to use it, assuming that corporations would go buy licenses for it to do the 'right thing' etc, and plus they'd get shrink-wrapped boxes and phone support.
That worked I guess... until they started to run out of money. Their next big product was the Ximian Exchange Connector. Not free. Not as in free beer. Not as in freedom. Free as in $99 per copy.:-)
Not free in any way except for "Free Fall" which pretty much describes Ximian's finances until they were acquired by Novel.

There is no red hat 8.1. What are you talking about?

yo, what happens if you lose? Do you not get a blowjob, or does she have different equipment then the 'convention' gf?
Is that true? Does anyone have more details on that subject?

and when was the last time the Republicans successfully concealed a conspiracy. . .
Um, not to be too obvious but... if the conspiracy was sucessfully concealed, then we wouldn't know about it, would we?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the fucking article...

or MAYBE they actually did invent this, and Microsoft DID steal it from them. Wouldn't they be entitled to a big chunk of MS $$ then?

grow up.
However....
If *in fact* "Open Source leader" Eric Raymond does know who was launching DDoS attacks on SCO, I think he's obligated to turn them over to relevant authorities for prosecution. Both ethically and (IANAL) legally.
I know... this is a radical idea...

You moron... you didn't see that slashdot story a few weeks ago, "Iraqi Information Minister accepts new position as director of PR for SCO" ?
SCO has declared that the earth is actually flat, that you *can* dig a hole to China, and that the moon is, in fact, made of green cheese.
