Well, what will happen if some folks already use Longhorn and a new worm attacks Windows and Longhorn as well. Of course Microsoft is NOT going to provide a patch until Longhorn is officially released. I guess this will become a serious problem any time soon.
As I said earlier transmission is no problem. Ever thought about the fact why you had that big blackout in the US? Well, they do send power from here to there. Over long distances. Gosh, why are people closing both eyes immediatly if someone puts a good idea in front of their nose?
The stable distri of debian has one problem: Many programs made a lot of progress in the last month and the distro doesn't reflect that so far. So you will need to add some more (unoffical) sources to your apt configuration. Check the manual for details.
One important page for finding the right source for a recent Mozilla, OpenOffice or X11 is: http://www.apt-get.org/
Transmission isn't a problem anymore for intra-continental distances. I went through the calculations several times with people that did not believe me in IRC.
An I guess there would be other deserts near the USA or in the USA that could be useful. So you do not need to rely on distant sources. I just wanted to emphasis, that even 10% of the Sahara alone would be enough.
Why do they invest more money in such technologies. They have the Sahra desert. 10% of that desert would be enough for supplying the whole world (yes, even the USA) with enough energy.
The problems with solar based energy production are purely political, not technical.
I would really welcome if MS would start using some sensible XML document type as the default file format. I just still doubt it since I have been using MS software for too long.
>Word Standard Edition can save into WordML (which schema has been published). Enterprise version allows you to map certain parts of documents into Xml with customer specified schema.
Does "...can save..." mean WordML will be the default file format in those Office versions?
I wrote "I think" to indicate that I am not 100% sure. Still I do share my knowledge. I may be false but it was never intended to be FUD. Thanks for asking.
Wait a second... I think the XML-format document types are only available for corporate versions of MS office. If that is true there still will be a lot of propiertary binary-only.DOCuments around in the future.
Nice tactics: MS now tells everybody "we use open standards" (as they already do) but the users keep saving files in closed formats.
I think this is exactly the reason why Marc Fleury once stated in an interview that he thinks that it would have been better NOT to convert from GPL to LGPL in early days.
No one understood that at the time of the interview. Now we know why.
MarcF might be not your best friend. But he for sure has led JBoss to where it is right now. With a lot of help from Rickard and Scott and so many others of course;-)
It does support Java, great! But what does "support mean?
Can I run a Java application (J2ME/MIDP ?) after one or two buttons pressed ? A lot of phones I saw with Java support force you to navigate through dozens of menus until you are able to start a Java application.
Can the application run in the background? What happens if the application runs and the phone rings? If I use it for ICQ or such stuff, do I need to stop the application before beeing able to look at my address book?

Firstly SGI has a good point in saying it is allowed to make XFS open source. And secondly SCO execs should learn that GPL licencing is not about "free beer". Probably a court will need to tell them soon what the meanings of the GPL licence are.
They plan to use WBXML and not XML. Still you need parsing. But serialization can be left out AFAIR. That's a huge improvement over Ascii XML. But still it is an extensible format.
And they are looking into ways to move to ASN.1 too. See the link in the article.
A good sysadmin has all important stuff backed up. And if you do it properly the backup is sent to a offsite location. Isn't it easier to steal those backup tapes or discs? If you are lucky the outsourced company doesn't even notice the theft or someone who does not want to loose his job does not tell anyone.

Bengali/Bangla is the language of Bangladesh.
See the CIA Word Fact Book for some information about Bangladesh.
Did you know that Bangladesh is the 8th largest nation on the world (note: "World" is the first in this ranking) ?
Bengali is spoken by some Indians as well, India being the second largest nation on the world.

World-wide or what?
Why should we all suffer just because some people are to dumb to install a SPAM filter, use Mozilla or do something else useful.
Just sitting there and crying "Argh, somebody do something against that SPAM" won't help. They just will limit your freedom as a result. Again.
Don't try to anticipate what I am going to say.

Ouch!

Hey, they can't be serious with THAT URL anyway.
Perhaps we should point them to http://tinyurl.com/

For me that sounds like they are begging for a really devasting Windows Virus/Worm.
I would suggest rethinking their strategy.
The 404 page asks you to send an email to daily@timeinc.net and report the link.
Don't bother. I did already and asked for the new location of the document. Guess what I got in return:
<daily@timeinc.net>: host relay.pathfinder.com[209.251.208.18] said: 550 5.1.1
<daily@timeinc.net>... User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command)
ARGH!

Thanks for any insights on these questions.

Have YOU already patched your OpenSSH and OpenSSL packages and sealed the latest holes ?
;-)
If not, do it now, PLUIIISE
I do limit the lifetime of all cookies to 1-2 days (depending on my mood when setting up the system) in Mozilla.
/. or other things ;-)
I hope that makes tracing me and building a profile harder. But still I don't have to log in more than once a day into
Thus Google will have a hard time to regonize me as a frequent user.
So better send you data to the moon and resend what is reflected ;-)

Java isn't open source.
But J2EE definitly can be:
JBoss,Tomcat, Struts, Tapestry, Velocity etc.
There are 50+ open-source J2EE components and frameworks ATM.
.NET ? Blowing J2EE out of the water ?
.NET ?
Are you serious ? Then:
Where is the appserver that runs
Can you cluster that appserver like J2EE-appservers ?
Hey, why all the hassle ?
A good sysadmin has all important stuff backed up. And if you do it properly the backup is sent to a offsite location. Isn't it easier to steal those backup tapes or discs? If you are lucky the outsourced company doesn't even notice the theft or someone who does not want to loose his job does not tell anyone.
So my question is: Do *you* encrypt your backups?
