the cost of the certificate would be great for ensureing responsible use. someone's gotta pay for the book keeping. and a cert only costs $150, not $1000. hyperboly is just the sort of thing that got spews so hated.
The coolest way we could stop spam from being distributed is to require mail servers to register with a trusted signer, and do the delivery over ssl. anyone distributing spam via a trusted mailhost would be promptly identified by their ssl signature, and anyone sending mail from an untrusted source could be rejected. there is already enough infrastructure in place for this to occur now. verisign and friends as trusted signers, and smtp-ssl. the only other thing required is the will to put it to work.
jesus. wasnt it on slashdot where we used to read about how much fullpage ads and subscription access sucks? now you can pay slashdot, to read OTHER PEOPLES NEW. this ontop of the box ads. osdn can lick my big hairy black cock.
the datacenter does have the entire place on UPS and generator. there used to be a risk of a power blink on failover. its been taken care of since. we just dont wanna unplug everything until we've figured out what to do for distribution. our fear is overloading circuits which is why we need some sort of power distribution that'll use all available circuits. i guess it is still kinda messy in that aspect, but moving to another facility isnt an option.
If this keeps happening no patent is going to be enforcable based on the US patent office's recent history of complete incompetance. Taking every case of a bad software patent to the courts is hardly practical. I think people will soon start disregarding patents the same way they've started disregarding copyrights of music and movies.
As much as we depend on intel to push cpu manufacturing techniques to new heights, they have fallen down in the desktop market anyway. Ive lost count on how many new units they've added for poor lowlevel optimizers to keep up with. This with the slap in the face of reduced instructions per tic in the p4 so they could juice up the multiplier and sell "faster"mhz cpu's at double the price is more than enuf for me to stop watching them. Im far more interested in the new power5 coming out of IBM for a 64bit architecture to pay attention to. BTW, what ever happened to alpha 21364? is a 64bit cpu really newsworthy?

This is another thing that bugs me about supposed pro Linux media. Just about every review of a linux dist focuses entirely on ease of installation. I consider this just as detremental to the legitemacy of linux as calling it cheap. You never read anyone touting the quick and easy installation of Solaris, and it is very well respected amoung the money people. Conceivably you only install once. The rest of your time is spent actually using a system. Shouldnt this be the focus of advocacy?
People should quit spending so much time talking about how low cost Linux is to use. If thats all that mattered, people whould be using it exclusively, wouldnt they? especially in schools where money is always tight. Its this type of news which is holding the Linux and other free UNIX vairants back by making them look "cheap". There are too many people who believe you get what you pay for. What really matters is how a platform can make your life easier.

an amusing coincidence?
