It doesn't mandate open source. It was just the governor saying something about free and open standards being good that got noticed by the BSA. The article could have done a whole lot better job reporting this.
450 billion goes to the military
150 billion goes to corporate subsidies
the federal budget is in total something like 1.2 trillion dollars. so basically half our tax dollars are going to the military and various failing big corporations(ie. telcos, many airlines). and then you count the various Justice Department pet projects and Bush's landing on aircraft carriers and you get 3/4 of our national budget spent on waste and war.
This was a corporation that's main business was security. Geer published a report critical of the security of Microsoft products. Much of the stuff in it has been proven as true by many studies. He wrote a paper scrutinising Microsoft's products' security. This happens to be part of his job, ie. providing information about internet security. They fired him because the facts didn't favor the provider of some of their funding.
You know, if you oppose handouts for the poor, you should oppose handouts for failing businesses like many of the airlines and the telcos get. The taxes you pay don't just go to social services, they also go to infastructure, education and the police and military.
At that point the czar had been deposed and there was a provisional government made up of the soviets and several other factions. This continued until 1917, at which point the soviets took complete control.
Yeah, well the Apple G6 will bend the very fabric of space and time and will require a fusion power plant to provide enough power to it. Wait...did I just say that? It will just generate the patented Apple reality and benchmark distortion field, designed to get people to buy tons of Macs
yes they do work, though they take a while to start up when you first run them due to the fact that a stripped down version of gnome or kde is being launched in order to run the program.
Most webhosting services expressly forbid you posting copyrighted work on your website in the tos. Plus the people with enough bandwidth to set up a server at home(dsl and cable users) are unable to do so because they still have dynamic ips and are often forbidden from creating a server by their isp. you could set up a home t1 line but that would be prohibitably expensive for the average person who operates a warez site and it would be easily traceable. That leaves only hosting services operating in areas unaffected by us copyright law and offshore data havens.
And god help you if that thing carried the spice channel!

seriously, I think that telsat 4 actually did carry the spice channel, or some other porn network.
Issues like 911 and power cuts are fairly trivial and are mainly being used as an argument against VoIP from the entrenched players.
while emergency calls are fairly rare, one still wants to have the ability to make them in the event of an emergency. getting rid of that capability would be a really dumb idea.
Yeah right, they said the same thing about kazaa early on. they may not have it at first, to avoid pissing off consumers, but after it has a large userbase...

Hi, it's the house. just wanted to tell you I'm burning down. Could you call the fire department or something?

Of course, then IBM drops a mainframe on SCO.

I can give you a three step business plan.
1. bomb third world country into oblivion
2. ???
3. profit
Ok, so now we're a crucial demographic. I say we make RMS run in the California recall election.

X has more patchs than a pirate who's trying to quit smoking.
Yeah, most of the information is in the pdf. However, there should have been a summary since the pdf itself is 78 pages long.
I think they'll get a lot of that when trying to access websites. imagine their ping!
TCP/IP over smoke signals would be great for when a server is slashdotted. put that raging electrical fire in the server room to good use!

No we'd label it as Windows emo. It would be Bill Gates whining about how free software is unamerican.
umm...it's for managing who can mess around with office documents, sounds similar to user read/write/execute permissions and that sort of thing.
wait, they have a cluster of 1100 G5s yet can't withstand a simple slashdotting? they should've just hosted it on the G5s.

personally i prefer the sendmail ultra rewards card. For every exploit that is found I get to punch a sendmail programmer.
Nad you're claiming this wasn't posted by a twelve year old on a forum?
