If SCO really believed that their statements were true, laws agains monopolies, unfair business etc woul apply. At least in Germany, that would be a task for Federal Bureaus.

To setup fnord to provide https, you need an up and running plain http fnord.
Be aware that there are two methods on how to setup fnord using SSL. One is to use ucspi-ssl, or to use a patched version of ucspi-tcp. The patch can be found here. These two methods are a bit different. Specifics for each variant are marked in simple braces. For Example: (ucspi-ssl) or (patches ucspi-tcp)
Oh, and even if the PDF is saying it was produced from MS Windows with the help of PDFmaker -- be assured that the original document was written with the help of OpenOffice.org. vlendec should be able to confirm this, since he is also one of the authors... );-)

By the way, fnord web server has at least once survived one slashdotting-event. 4 seconds of googleing result in this comment which should have let to a stream of visitors.

Well, this decision could finally destroy the system of DNS. We have seen so many attempts from virii^wadware to abuse it. And - this might be far fetched - the http://www.ebay.com@www.evilcrackerdomain.com could also be seen as one trial.
What would the result be? Some IT people coming from a university would make the existing approaches to freenet perfect. At least, I find this outcome most likely.

Two weeks ago, I was at a conference of a youth organisation in the city of Leipzig (Germany). In a free moment, we went to the school's computer room (reading email, reading/.). When I tried to show a fried a letter between me and a Federal Office, the browser just said no; something like "permission denied" - "content: drugs".
After further investigation I noticed, that the whole folder www.presroi.de/recht is blocked. Thanks to squidguard.
Here's the funny thing: Most of the content in this folder is legal stuff: Laws, Federal Acts and paper from parliamentary debates...
They did not filter "my real" drug pages such as hanfbroschuere.de, lsdbroschuere.de, xtcbroschuere.de...
Notably, the number of sites switching from Linux has proportionately kept pace since July when many commentators thought the 5% of sites switched to Windows 2003 from Linux was an aberration.

Too bad I don't have any moderation points left. This Post is not "Offtopic" as long as my eyes don't fool me. This O is right now an 0 in the headline.

If I remember correctly, google is doing quite the opposite to a well known hobby called "vapour-ware".
Tools on the google labs pageare labeled beta or whatever but they are still much more feature-filled and stable than the competitors' products I am aware of.
In this case, msn makes this mistake again when they are publishing some features which "will be" doing foo or bar some day.
Of course, an advanced picture search is nice and it might lead into more results than images.google.com but the main difference is that images.google.com is real.
The topic was "Microsoft Works on Search Capabilities" which is a correct headline. The rest was redundant.
(did anyone make an obligaroty "Microsoft Works"-joke regarding to the topic yet?")
The only thing I can see from Microsoft when it comes to search engines are logfile entries like:
tide85.microsoft.com - - [13/Mar/2003:14:31:31 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 304 - "-"
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Fetch API Request"
The same applies to Galileo. How can anyone be sure that the EU won't "throw the switch"?
The answer is that this question is obsolete. Next Generation Positioning Systems will be able to get information out from GPS, from Galileo and maybe from LORAN-C or the local GSM-cellphone cell information as a fallback.
I consider redundancy as a mayor pro argument even in the eyes of American companies and.gov institutions.
Next time I crash at 200 mph into a wall, I will sue Rockstar Games for making me think that the car would not get damaged and would bump away.

Where can I find this Google company?
Hmm, indeed. Maybe "google" was misspelled. My favourite search engine was unable to find it.
Sorry, no results were found containing "google" [some minor things omitted]
SEARCH TIPS
1) Check your spelling. Are the words in your query spelled correctly? 2) Try using synonyms. Maybe the site you're looking for uses slightly different words, like "film" instead of "movie". 3) Make your search more general. For example, instead of using specific product names, try using the generic product category.

Web server: fnord (by Felix von Leitner)
Tutorial:
please re-read this post again:
Everybody saw the burning Concorde via this crappy home video from this people in their car.
I guess the sole reason for shutting the concorde down were these pictures burned in the public memory.
Anyone 'remembers' the Hindenburg pictures? The first 8 of 12 pictures are showing the Zeppelin rather than the politician.
concorde is "only" 4 out of 12.
Please have a look at the topic again.
"Open Source Software clearly superior"
superior to what? I missed the point only half as much as you did, at least it appears to me so.
Hmm, lets count...
Linux 2.6: GPL
Linux 2.4: GPL
FreeBSD: FreeBSD license..
NetBSD: "the NetBSD Project uses a Berkeley-style license"
OpenBSD: "OpenBSD strives to maintain the spirit of the original Berkeley Unix copyrights."

Google's ability to list up all the pages which a linking to my site (not that there is a reason to link to this page anyway) seems to be sub-optimal.
usually, a link:presroi.de gives me some 30 results.
compared to some 90 results from altavista.
Judging from the referer-Information in my logfile, there are many more links out there.
Google-Watch has already made up its mind about this.
