I know they've changed the model of development for the kernel, but how many new schedulers have we gone through between 2.4 and 2.6 now? Maybe it is just me, but the scheduler seems like a pretty important piece of the kernel.... Ripping it out every 6 months and calling it "stable" seems a bit off to me.
Oh well. I guess I'm just getting cranky in my "old" age.
While I do think that Homeland "Security" is out of control, this doesn't seem like a good example of it.
Put yourself in custom's shoes.
You search a bag and find a bunch of materials for black hat hacking.
Maybe you look up Blackhat Hacking on wikipedia:
"A black-hat is a term in computing for someone who compromises the security of a system without permission from an authorized party, usually with the intent of accessing computers connected to the network."
You ask the guy about it and say, "Are you getting paid to present these materials?"
"Yes."
"Do you have a permit to work in the USA?"
"No."
In your mind, case closed at that point. I'm sorry this happened, but is it really so shocking?
Instead of big government bureaucracy, trying to force a Google competitor from the top down, the EU should be seeding promising European startups. The next Google is probably not going to look anything like Google, and you aren't going to find it with this style of funding.
I love how you've never even been to the United States, yet you characterize a nation of 300 million people by talking to a few people who were exchange students. There is probably more difference between a feminist living in Berkeley California and a Baptist living in Alabama, then there is between someone living in Poland and someone living in Germany. If stereotyping millions of people through ignorance is your great example of "European common sense", maybe it isn't such a bad thing that Americans have none.
There is an old military motto, "Train like you fight." In this case, I would use SSH only because it instills good habits to all the people using the network. Also, in the event that someday someone connects your network to the outside, or adds a device that you don't expect (wifi router for example), or even that you have a malicious room mate/office mate, you are protected. Using ssh -C (compression) also can make ssh _faster_ than telnet, as text compresses really nicely.
The only reason to use telnet is when an embedded device doesn't support ssh and you can't upgrade the firmware. Otherwise, its just good practice to use it everywhere.

Wow, what does a 3 digit ID get me?
Quiet you.
Just add more RAM to your system, your OS should already be block caching for you...
Dude, did you really need to run that as root? You're making me nervous here.
I seem to recall uni-processor preempting in 2.4 as well...

Yeah for sure, now that Apache runs 60% of the Web, all those crackers are finding tons of exploits for it everyday!
