Which would explain why Red Hat went apesh!t over the CentOS guys even mentioning their "name" on the CentOS site? I mean, come on. Red. Hat. Two very common monsyllabic words. How more common can you get?
While Tiger Direct has a (if somewhat sleazy) case, there's little confusion between a football team and computer sw. This is just Red Hat attempting to cash in on the PR surrounding this while looking like a good guy.
...The PM and CIO has to learn to be a salesman, negotiator and technocrat all at the same time.
How is this different from what a good PM or CIO does every day? Darrell Hamilton is a "Strategic Director"? Strategic Director of what? Blame avoidance & CYA?
My experience is different from yours. An effective CIO manages well both "up and down". Bad executives can exist in any part of any organization. That trait isn't limited to IT.
Yes, senior management was distracted, but it's the CIO's job to warn senior management and the board about risks to the business as well as their liklihood of happening.
What will they say next? Using FOSS contributes to global terrorism? That everytime you download FOSS, the drug cartels profit? That FOSS consitiutes violates RICO laws?
Price fixing my foot!

late 60's/early 70's? I used to hang with some of the former "flower children" back in the 80's and I vaguely recall a discussion about free access terminals scattered about the Bay Area. I've never heard about it again. Anybody know anything about this and care to shed some light?
I dunno about you, but I'm going to look to a more universal broadcast media (radio, tv) for emergency info, not, "Hey, the sky's looking kinda dark & ominous, I better go check my email."
To paraphrase: It's an ambitious program that wants to handle all of your "launching" needs, including rc, cron & at. It's been open-sourced and the open source community would do well to look at it.
That's the article excerpt in a nutshell. It doesn't explain what it does or how it does it. In fact, it reads like it was copied from a press release.

It's called supporting something I feel is worth supporting. Obviously, we disagree on that in the case of Slashdot.
Oooooh! Looks like one of my Freaks got some mod points today.
Perhaps you should look at my 1000+ comment posting history.
Oh wait, you need to be a subscriber for that.
Did it occur to you that it only seems that way because if you don't see the comment about the mirror, then you don't associate it with me? Hmmm?
Power density is one of the biggest reasons why you don't see massive colocation facilites. Unless they themselevs are colocated with a power plant. :)
The mirror of the article is here
RTFA. The law specifically targets those who have sex with a child under age 11.
Citation?
I was under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that pedophiles have one of the highest rates of recidivism.
Give them two choices:
In the scrotum in place of their testicles
In the head in place of their medulla oblongata
And those facilities leave you on your own in emergency situations? Sounds like a pretty sh!tty place to work if you ask me.

Heck, with Gmail you can use one just for junk, like the one I publish here. :)

Less sizzle and more steak please.
but there are a number of people in the community who hold a lot of power to persuade and influence.
Remember, you only need consensus, not unanimity.
didn't he have strategy where he got everybody into one room, then barred the doors and... :)
2 articles in under 4 hours submitted by an "anonymous reader" that point to Paul Murphy at CIO Today. Hmmmm... Astroturf anybody?
