Why not release back code that is within in your control, with your employer's permission, from the goodness of your heart? Many companies have done this. The companies not doing so will have to do more to keep up with Vorbis while you will not.
I concur. I like the boolean commands I can issue:
(freebsd|netbsd|openbsd|bsd|bsdi) & (ipv4|ipv6)
I don't think this is possible at Google. BTW, I have done much more complex searches on Deja in the past. I will go crazy without the full-boolean capability.:(

Since when did news agencies like giving out good news? Unfortunately, negative news generates more ad revenue.
Also, read the man page on rtprio. I run that with burncd. It runs a program with real-time priviledges. When I burn a CD, I do not want the process to have problems and create a coaster.:)
They did not even need to test FreeBSD to have it work on FreeBSD. All they needed to do was RTFM concerning partition ID's.
I bet this has cost them more than it would have cost to read the standard. Just that one sale mentioned up above is more than it would have taken just one person to find an empty ID.
I have seen several friends on H1 Visas abused in the workplace. I would happily join a union that would address this - and other issues.
Good news. New rules are in place for H1 visas. If they can find any other company to take them, they can just switch jobs.
Tech companies expect un-sustainable levels of work from their employees.
Please define these "un-sustainable levels".
Tech companies will lay-off people without a second thought if it helps the bottom line.
For a.COM this is usually a good sign it is about to go under.
Tech companies will require unfair, new contracts to be signed by all employees, without any form of negotiation at all!
I have not run into that.
Might we actually get more than a week of severance when the filthy-rich board of our dot-com decides to lay-off half of the company?
What money could they give you? These companies barely have enough money to survive. If you sue them and win, you might see a few dimes.
Might people working here, away from their families abroad, actually be able to take reasonable time-off to visit their relatives, and return to work?
I have seen several people do just that where I work (non.COM). I have no idea if they had any problems doing so, but they were able to do it.
I still have to disagree with unions as they are today. I remember a few unions threw a tantrum about a non-union company aiding in the construction of a building a Purdue University (a state school). The non-union company charged Purdue less and paid their workers more. That is probably why the unions were scared; their workers might have seen benefits at working for a non-union shop.
Actually, there was a kernel module of IP Filter for Linux v2.0.
I don't know much about ipfilter, but I think it is (at least partly) user-space solution. Because we already had a fast kernel-space solution, I see no point in moving back to the user-space.
Advantages of FreeBSD over Linux (IMO):
1) More controlled (non-chaotic) development. Their is an elected board which decides on the direction of FreeBSD development.
2) Man pages. FreeBSD has a man page for almost everything that it comes with. This includes the drivers.
3) Ports system. I find the ports system to be much easier to administer a box than RPM.
4) IP Filter has a less cryptic syntax and is available for many UNIX OS's.
5) System updating. It is much easier to update a FreeBSD system as opposed to a Linux system. libc is more tied with the kernel on a FreeBSD box. glibc was never kind to me.
I speak all of this as a person who ran Linux once at a 0.77 level and later from 0.99.14? to 2.2.12. Switching to FreeBSD has made my life much easier. It gave me more time from development as opposed to administration of my boxes.

ACLU Takes on ICANN
·
· Score: 4
The letter from the ACLU and its allies, addressed to outgoing Commerce Secretary Norman Mineta, argued that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) placed artificial limitations on the number of generic top-level domains that threaten freedom of expression for individual Internet users and noncommercial organizations.
What are they talking about? Just because a TLD does not exist places NO RESTRICTIONS on what a person wants to say. Freedom of expression is NOT threatened by not having a TLD for a specific purpose. If no new TLD's were made, would they also sue?
I am sorry if this offends people, but I really think the ACLU should calm down and focus.
Why does everyone assume that Republicans are the only group making "pork" in Congress? Both sides are experts at it. Remember the party in charge of Congress during most of the "Reagan Years"? A lot of pork came out of those budgets.
I still have to agree with you about the planes. If a portion of the government says it does not need or want the resources, don't allocate it for them. NASA could make much better use of the money. Heck, even the Pentagon is doing space research. The money could have gone there.
I can confirm that CD-RW's do work with my quite old DVD player. I have played a few B5 VCD's using CD-RW's. USENET still rules.:)
Be careful about the color of the disc; it does matter. DVD's and CD-RW's are silver as opposed to CD-R's which are blue. The laser used has trouble with the blue discs unless the player is designed specifically for CD-R's.
1) Many managers only believe it if it is in print.

I am happy to see a new game being sold on so many platforms, but it certainly would be nice to see a FreeBSD version. Lacking that, a FreeBSD-blessed Linux version would be nice.
1) A corporation bent on maximizing profit (they make billions each year)
Are you sure you don't mean revenue? I am pulling numbers out of the air, but I believe the Catholic Church has a much better record than anyone else when it comes to using money for others. I believe it was estimated that the Federal Government can waste about 70% of the money it collects on bureaucracy. The Catholic Church might only burn 20% or less on bureaucracy.
2) A near monopoly (in certain parts of the world) that uses its marketshare to force customers into buying into its view and stop all competitors from invading its marketplace.
Where and how? Please stick to current times; everyone involved in the inquisitions is dead.
I was wondering the same thing. I have to admit I have yet to receive any "religious or racial" spam. I have gotten a few sexual e-mails, but the bulk of what I wade through is commercial spam.
I am Catholic. If I receive any spam saying "Happy Hanukkah", I will just file it with the rest of the spam. This form of spam might be annoying, but it does not attack my personal beliefs. My take is that it is a friendly jesture. Unfortunately, it is also spam.
Spam saying "Down with all Catholics|Methodists|Protestants" would offend.
He needs to explain his statement a little more clearly.
My only guess why they would skip Austin is the lack of large buildings. The per tenant basis would do poorly in an area where maybe only a few businesses coexist in the same building as compared to Dallas and Houston.

I believe BSDi, Whistle and Yahoo have all contributed code and fixes back to FreeBSD. I have no idea if Intel does or not.
The only real difference is that there is no svgalib with FreeBSD, ...
/usr/ports/graphics/svgalib
It does not come with FreeBSD by default, but there is a port of it:
