This is very cool stuff. I'm using ScummVM to play Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, a game which I loved back some years ago when I had more time on my hands and still love now. Great job!
The best way to do it is to physically lock your server away from filthy reboter hands. Really. See any security tutorial -- physical security is mentioned everywhere.
I've done some benchmarks and reiser won in terms of speed against ext3 and jfs. Haven't tested with ext2 or xfs yet. Here are the reiser vs jfs results for writing data onto a reiser/jfs partition:
# jfs write real 7m51.178s user 0m1.980s sys 0m57.710s
# reiserfs write real 6m7.302s user 0m1.780s sys 1m16.590s
Also I haven't had problems with it but then again, I'm not using reiserfs on RAID arrays in heavily loaded mission critical environments or anything like that.
I think Romania got blacklisted for credit card fraud. Some webstores won't sell you anything above $100 or so.
As with the export restrictions, goods that have been already imported in the USA are subject to US export laws, although i doubt that Hungary is on the restricted destinations list -- they are even in NATO afaik.
Since is *my* hardware and I paid for it, I should be allowed to reverse engineer it. So what if the competitiors reverse engineer your stuff? It only stimulates companies to do better stuff. Just embed everything into a monolithic structure if you want to protect your stuff. I'm not talking about huge integrated circuits, but the whole thing embeded into some kind of plastic/whatever mass. No need for a court decision here. No need for lawyers to collect more fees.
There is a poll on the page with "what Linux distribution do you use". Debian got a lot of votes (more than SuSE). As RedHat and SuSE Enterprise Server software doesn't come cheap, I suggest that people who like Debian should go vote. Maybe Novell will support Debian as well. Think about it -- the platform OS will come at zero cost.
Hey, Novell had the most fine-grained access control and nicest directory services implementation. Don't know if that's still the case with Active Directory around, but I'd really use Novell on Linux to do file and print services for Windoze boxes rather than Windows 2000 or 2003. I've also heard it scales very well. It came a bit late but it's still a great thing. With SCO spreading FUD around, the timing of this release proves that Novell trusts the Linux platform, so their release may add a plus of credibility as well.
I seriously doubt it. Apple always comes up with something new, great innovation etc. and Mac users are mostly fanatics:). They wonldn't change their beloved computer/OS for any other. Hey, most of us want an TiBook or an iBook, I know for one I do.
Stupid laws are there to be broken. You'll need more jails too, for warez kiddie felons to store. Read this lengthy interview with Andrew Eldritch of Sisters fame. Actually just read this part:
At any given time, two million Americans are in jail, and only two states will let them vote while they're there. America puts more of its people in prison than any other country in the world, apart from Rwanda. I'm not going to get into the many iniquities of America's mass-incarceration policy right now, but it's worth noting that the slope of the pitch is increased by the so-called War On Drugs, which has systematically contravened the Universal Declaration On Human Rights and the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Amendments to the American Constitution in its drive to ensure that one third of all black American men will spend some of their life in prison. And a lot of Hispanics. (And more than a few white people.) In a quarter of American states (including Florida), nobody with a felony conviction is ever allowed to vote again. Other US states make it possible, but difficult, to regain the right to vote after a felony conviction. In Florida, one third of the black male population already cannot vote. Half a million people are disenfranchised in this way in Florida alone. Bush "won" the American election by "winning" Florida by 537 votes. Go figure.
1. It's not proftpd, it's pure-ftpd.
2. I don't like silly command line wrappers.
3. Only communists required you te be like everybody else
Also xinetd eats up a whole lot more memory than minit:
root 28484 0.0 0.0 24 16 ? S Jun22 0:00/sbin/minit
Try to match that with any other superserver! Well maybe runit or daemontools would yeld close figures. I also like the way you can start and stop services.
Well, somebody has even made a distribution with dietlibc with minit, embutils, etc. I'm using minit to start some sevices because netkit inetd sucks major ass and truncates my pure-ftpd options (huge command line).

And both support OpenAFS. Now shut up already.
You can do snapshots with the Enterprise Logical Volume Management from IBM.

Hmm, this car probably lacks stability and will bump over at the first turn.
How is the gov't able to *ban* words? Hello!?
If it's done right it can be secure (think of PDAs with IpSec), but well M$ never does stuff right soo..

Pirate mentality? If I buy a car I could disassemble it and change some components, right? How is this pirating?
They should've used NetBSD if they don't like the GPL and releasing the source.
There is prior art. I've seen pre-1999 epic scripts that translate stuff using babelfish.
This can be doubled by a sound that goes on in a loop reading the actual auth code needed to input. It's not hard to implement.
I find that Mandrake is easier to install than Windows. I think I installed it in like half an hour with package selection and everything.
People should rather clone Lotus Notes, which is a far superior product.
Don't scream "torrent!" in a room full of people. Does anyone have the Linux binary (not seamonkey, the other one) on a torrent.
Great work MySQL AB! Now everybody will use Postgres instead. What about Perl? Is the MySQL Perl module comp[romised by licensing issues as well?

I think cisco also does it with wccp or whatever it's called. It's been around for a while.
Okay, I'm gonna patent the wheel.
Hrr. There is prior art! I've been using transparent web caching (ipfilter+squid) for at least one year now and I bet the idea is older than that.
