Those judges that have the mindset of encryption = criminal intents really push United States closer to a police state (I am not saying countries that outlaw encryption, such as France, are not). So far, PGP / GPG might be needed for any communication mean that the users don't want the e-mail content being sniffed. Encryption itself does not tell if you are police or criminal - it just encrypts.
Or shall we worry if the administration has plan to require PGP/GPG users to submit their secret keys for easier decryption?
I don't agree the poster's word that the ban on using non-Chinese companies software in government sector is unfair.
Considering United States and various countries in the world has regulations and guidelines that protect the government operation being hold on hand of foreign conpanies, the Chinese ban is just a form of national security assurance.
There are way more cases where US interfered with big company trades such as computer or communication companies based on it's own protectionism. Is that fair in your sense?
What are you actually complaining about? You can still use the same old way as you did - open 20 firefox/opera/safari/whatever_tab_browser windows. Tab browsing is a nice feature for those who want it. If you don't like it, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE IT!
Now would you mind to shut up? You are posting the same piece of question over and over again, just like some ignorant usenet posters. Can't you see it? You've already been modded as redundant!
Ya, someone in the world is planning for a massive damage of life and property, maybe us in the open source community should be more open-mind to that as well, huh?
Are you serious that there is any Microsoft ad in Linux Journal? I am a subscriber but I never see a Microsoft ad in Linux Journal, in addition to the commitment stated by Don Marti.
Does it mean a bit more convenient way to install J2SE on my Gentoo and FreeBSD boxes, without worrying about downloading files manually (especially during software upgrades) or having licenses being revoked?
I, for one, am excited about this new Harmony project.
But the simple fact is that PJ stepped up and made herself a public figure in an extremely controversial case. And there is no constitutional or guaranteed right to remain anonymous.
Do you know what you are talking about? Do celebrites deserve their addresses being exposed and being threatened or kidnapping?
You're sure that you only use portupgrade -a to upgrade your ports? Last time I haven't read/usr/ports/UPDATING and do portupgrade -a, my upgrade of Perl was a broken one.
I like FreeBSD and I am using it, but I think some of the complains of some FreeBSD advocates regarding Linux are not fair.
Surely there are too many Linux distributions, yet they are just like the family of *BSDs (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly,...) to me. Since the source is open, we can't stop anybody from forking a distribution for what they want it to be.
What a terrible parent post! If you really can't download the ISO copy and burn it to CD by any mean, here is the place that you shop: FreeBSD Mall
At least they DO support the FreeBSD development community financially.
Personally, I've seen Windows (NT & 9x family) BSOD, Linux kernel panic, Mac OS 9 and X system crash (at a point that the mouse cursor does not even response) on several machines for each. I have, however, yet to see a single Sun UltraSparc that runs Solaris 2 crashes. Even though Sun manufactures UltraSparc themselves, it is still amazing that it has a stability that not even the Apple machines can compare to.
Also, the driver can be either unsigned (means the driver hasn't been tested by Microsoft) or a customized version (since laptop manufacturers tweak the hardware and driver to fit their laptops' designs).
Last time I saw BSOD on my WinXP, it was an optical mouse driver that works with every version but Service Pack 2. It was quite funny because the driver that crashed WinXP2 was obtained through Windows Update. The generic one that came with WinXP by default was fine, as I found out.
I used to think that SP2 suppose to be more stable and would disable that faulty driver instead of BSOD.

Now perhaps AOL will release the AOL Optimized 10.1 CD the day after AOL Optimized 10.0... that would be great.
Ya, until Netscape can bundle the IE rendering engine that they can run on Mac or Linux.
Exactly, I can't imagine a new release with an already known exploit on the first day.
By librarians, you mean those who work in libraries?
Oh, wait...
And we are waiting for a proof that Cuba has oil.

It depends on how many images/flash/whatever_non_text contents are there in the pages.
"Thou shall use tabs", the 11th commandment of generic-man, bothered him too much.

Does it mean our favorite MSAV from DOS 6.22 finally has an update?

Given the quality of Gentoo Portage System(Besides using FreeBSD, I have Gentoo installed on my laptop), I think portupgrade is way better.

Given that Google suffered from a DNS hijack recently, this concern is reasonable.

Not to mention that the number of employees IBM put into it is already twice the total number of SCO/Caldera employees.
