    Secondly, a webserver should (and does by default in any distro I know of) runs as the nobody/httpd/apache/someone user, and does not have a home directory. So any exploit in the web server would not allow you to write a 'la' binary anywhere.

    Not even in /tmp?! (but i see your point)

    ...big corps start to realize that the old bussiness model is dead, and begin to use the new model at their advantage, instead of fighting the tide.

    if we want to ever have a decent form of government, we can't have the big corps making all the rules.

    I agree, but... electing someone is really expensive. Big Corps have the kind of money it takes to elect a goverment. Well, of course corps will make sure to elect someone who represent 'em... this way, we have the big corps making all the rules... sad.

  6. I don't get it on Do-Not-Call List Could Be Opened For Phone Spam · · Score: 1

    What is the point to contact people who said that they do not want your product? They already told they are not going to buy things this way. Isn't it just moneey waste for the companys calling people whoi not only will not buy, but get annoyed and starts doing negative publicity?

  12. Re:$1/hour on Paid To Spam · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I for one would feel like I was selling the rights of everyone else for a living. I'm not sure how people can feel "good" about doing something like this.

    Well, It is not a breaking new, but there are people in the world capable of killing, practicing genocide, throwing planes into buildings full of other people. I'm sure that finding people willing to gain a buck/hour when it is the computer that is doing all the work will not be that hard. Unfortunelly. :(

  14. They will do whatever they have to do on Microsoft WiX Code Released to SourceForge.Net · · Score: 1
    Is this another ploy from Microsoft to not look like the bad guy, or do you think they are embracing on the Open Source movement?

    MS, as a corporation is amoral. Note that they are not necessarily imoral. They do not have a moral besides making money, like any other corporation. They don't care about movements, comunity or any other thing unless it makes money for then. If they are opening source, it is becouse they think it will make money, either now or in the long run.

    So this news is good news, it means that Open Source is *the* bussiness model to go, since all the major corps are going for it (IBM, Novell and, bite me, MS).

    Them just use it, man! U don't have to be an apostole to put the CD in the drive, intsall, boot and use it! It is a pretty damn good distro AND it worries about political/social questions, but if u don't care about that, fine, it stills a damn good distro!

  18. Re:Uhh on Multiple Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL · · Score: 1
    A good admin doesnt need /. to tell them that their OpenSSL is vulnerable.

    I think the point isn't to be told about the vulnerability, since good admins read security/relevant lists that are the appropriate place to be informed quick of such things.

    I think the point of this news is to discuss about this vulnerability.
