Hellohowyoudoing. Burrito will take 2 minutes in the microwave. TWO MINUTES! CANNOT YOU UNDERSTAND TWO MINUTES? TWO FUCKING MINUTES!
SorryhowcanIhelpyoutoday.
I'm glad that my favorite distribution has finally gone retail. I will definitely be among the people that shell out $15 for the two pressed CDs and the printed installation manual.
Been using Gentoo for my linux boxes since late 2001; I couldn't be happier.
If they showed where the alleged code was, then it would take approximately 30 minutes for the contributor(s) to remove the affected code, re-release kernel version(s), etc.
How, then, would SCO be able to charge $699 for a license?
probably not to make one of its key selling points "the fact that it's free". People usually look at free or cheap things as unreliable. (This is exactly why most people don't buy GM/Ford/Hyundai/[insert your favorite Korean automobile manufacturer here] passenger cars. (Exception is to the GM/Ford trucks, those are good vehicles) It is almost universally known that those cars are unreliable.
What may work is the inclusion of OOo, samba, ximian connector, and gaim to point out to users that it "works exactly like and can interoperate with" windows files and servers. Also point out its widespread distribution in the server/enterprise arena. Some apple-esque switch ads may work too for the extra-dumb people out there.
Unfortunately, open content is largely a different animal than OSS. While it sounds great, and is surely a great idea, it seems that until artists, musicians, and graphic/software developers don't make a living off of their works, they will never want to give their compositions away for free along with the details of how they were created.
Since many OSS programmers are also employed gainfully writing non-OSS software, this is not a problem for them because they don't make a living writing it. Even if they don't, in cases such as Hans Reiser, they can get sponsorships from search engines, DARPA, and the like to add whatever features that a certain party wants added.
Here is possibly where open content could work however; for example, I could pay Chris Cornell to write a song about whatever I wanted, and specify in the contract that he had to release information about lyrics, sheet music, and which instruments he used into the public domain.
Artists who spend time creating works will never want to release their work into the public domain without compensation. They have to eat too!
book that I won't be purchasing; I already have 5 or so $50 books that are currently serving as expensive doorstops. Anything you can get out of these books can easily be grokked or googled for through the web.

in this day and age, when government spending along with jobless rates are at an all time high, there are government agencies that either don't have or have a badly staffed IT department. Judging from slashdot readership alone, there are many out-of-work geeks that could shore up gov't IT security for next to nothing.
Even if it's an all Windows network, it can still be secured for relatively cheap....just hire a kiddie, pay him 30K/year to maintain Microsoft's Software Update Services to automatically download and install critical updates. You certainly don't need MCSE for that!
Damn it, Bobby Ted! That JB Weld was supposed to hold them goldang fins on tight....lemme check that thar tube. You dumb ass! It says that it holds in temperatures up to 200 degrees F not 2000!
Get that antenna out of your ass!
Not a great idea. Especially if you try to name files things like "lolita-1.jpg" that contains bogus text or something...It's highly likely that you'd get called down for it in the first place and have to explain to your boss, "It's not really kiddie porn! It's just some text to trap someone searching my computer! Go ahead! Click on it!"
The last thing someone will do is click on a picture called lolita.jpg, even if you insist to them that it's not really a lolita picture.
Slackware users and experts can make a vow, on Slackware's 10th birthday, to be more helpful to new users and Linux newbies. Many a new Linux user has been turned away from Slackware because, although a geek friend might have pointed it out, there is no help or regard for the newbies. RTFM/RTFD!!! is the most common phrase heard in #slackware on many different IRC servers everywhere. This is the same situation for Debian.
New users to Linux who want an extremely powerful distribution, complete with friendly help and
knowledgeable users who aren't afraid to help a newbie, even if they ask a duplicated question, should check out Gentoo.
Mechassault is published by Microsoft. Is it developed by them? Or one of their subsidiaries? You should know your facts before "betting your money". Are all XBOX savegames hackable in this fashion? No? Then it's probably not an XDK issue.
There's no flaws in the hardware design of the xbox. There are flaws in the savegame handling of 007: Agent Under Fire (and various other games, not Microsoft's fault) that allows unsigned Linux to be run. As for modchips, you can stick a xilinx PLC in between any parallel bus structure (read bunnie's book) and find out exactly what signals are being sent between the northbridge and the processor. Duplicate those signals, and voila! You have a hacked xbox. As bunnie mentions, however, as a parallel bus gets faster and faster it becomes more difficult to trap signals. Also, you could use a extremely high speed serial bus with undocumented protocols to avoid hacking (I'm seeing data pass by, but where is the start and the end of the bitstream). Something like this is probably better implemented via a custom set of serial-connected chips rather than sending the data between the processor and north bridge (nVidia SPP in this instance) until your fsb frequency can scale beyond 1GHZ+.
