We're not talking about an application. We're talking about a distribution.
"Unchaning" doesn't make sense in this context since any single revision in a repository is stable by that definition, simply because that revision never changes.
Exactly! That's Debian Stable. Apart from security patches, over the life of each Debian Stable distribution, that's exactly how it works. The revision of the software never changes.
Obviously Stable isn't for everyone; if you're not running servers you may not even understand it. But that's what the word "stable" means in context of Debian.
The GPL is not an EULA. In your book example, you can buy, read, resell, etc, the book in question. Exactly what you can do with any software, barring (possibly) an EULA.
You can certainly do all that with GPL software without ever reading or agreeing to the GPL. Agreement is not required for use.
Other actions, such as making and distributing copies, are restricted by copyright law, and apply to books as well as software regardless of license. The GPL happens to be a license which allows copying and redistribution, actions which are otherwise forbidden by copyright. You only must agree to GPL when you take action that bumps against copyright law.
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".
For instance, in FreeBSD you can press ^T while cp is copying some huge file, and this will send SIGINFO to cp, causing it to print a progress report to STDERR. Handy.
Isn't this an internal feature of their cp implementation? I don't see what this has to do with the kernel, or indeed any program besides cp, at all.
Wouldn't the tarpit temporarily prevent that machine (or at least thread) from connecting to somebody else's server? I think that's what the OP's getting at. Just to slow 'em down.
This is great advice, for when you must accept password-based SSH logins, and I use it myself.
Unfortunately the style of attack discussed in the article is one that gets around this, by being both slow and distributed, so that rate limits based on IP address per unit time are effectively useless.

The word is "incite".
Surely you reject mail at SMTP time, allowing the sending server to notify the sender that the mail didn't get through, right?
I'm not sure what everybody else is complaining about. Did they read the fine article?
Seems pretty spot-on to me.
I'm not saying there won't be assholes selling 5870s for $800 on eBay
How does that make them assholes?
Because Intel (like most other large corps, I think) is incorporated in Delaware.

Why not test things and then update, instead of arbitrarily picking a version and declaring it to be stable?
"Stable" means it doesn't change. It doesn't mean it works perfectly. If you update something, it's not stable.
If we're including derived distros, then Debian is the most popular, since it includes Ubuntu.
Why do you need EVDO Broadband to connect with a guy in the back of the bus?
Welcome to my friends list.
That's "rite of passage".
As of this morning. It's a couple stories down on the /. front page.
Just when I'd finally gotten that out of my head...

How is removing anti-ICBM equipment inherently peaceful?
Here in the US it'll be Columbus Day. ...you nitwit.

Per tradition, I carefully avoided reading the fine article. And then you come along and toss that nauseous paragraph at me anyway.
How can we incite people to use the already-existing word "incite" rather than making up words like "incentivise"?

When a thief uses the credit card, you just block the charges. Done.
