You have to fight these battles, they are worth winning. It's really simple. All the warning labels are there. If you develop under Linux be prepared to abide by the GPL and open your source. If not pay the consequences. Companies gain from Linux in that it is less expensive to implement and has a fairly large following. By complying by the GPL they will give up their right to their "IP" but they will not give up the support of many of their user base. Which is definitely well-founded in the Linux/UNIX world.
Interesting statistics revealed were that there are about 500k songs/week being downloaded from the iTunes Music store and that 45% of songs are being purchased as albums.
Not so interesting when you take into account the majority of people using iTunes and purchasing digital songs are mac users and will blindly purchase something they could obtain for free if only they had even the slightest clue about what a "computer" was.
Everything irenetheno has said is very useful... Anyone attempting to learn BSD coming from a Linux environment will be very suprised and a little disoriented at first, but with ample reading and a TON of hands on they will come to appreciate it and realize just how stable and secure it is even on the lowest level.
to see humor in the phrase...
"Participants include robots that draw, sculpt, and play musical instruments, as well as many with talents that are a bit harder to pin down."

Let's see... Microsoft has already made default associations for.inf and.nfo, there aren't many more choices left for our poor friends over in the software pirating inudustry considering they want to keep the standard 8.3 file naming convention... may i suggest the extension.pr8 or.el8 or.wrz?
A "friend" of mine did exactly that! The local admin/network geek soon became public enemy number one and at all costs was he to be shown the all powerful "script-kiddie powers!" This "friend" was thrown into programs to help his "addiction for computer mischeviousness."
I only hope the teachers of this program can prepare themselves to be attacked, cracked, whacked, and smacked. The first target is "Master" for each and every "grasshopper" to prove his worth and abilities.
Sorry about all the "" quote marks!:oP
How does can an effective teacher control the use of the knowledege she/he places in the hands of adolesents?
Your analogy is wrong, this is more closely like a chemistry teacher teaching how to make bombs, a physics teacher how to make projectile weapons, and a music teacher how to make rap music.
If this class was about computer security then your analogy would hold true.
How can you effectively teach these kiddies not to use their knowledge for performing illegal activities? Will ethics be included in this course? Do you have a course syllabus you would like to share?
Let us spread amoung the population more script kiddies, more DoS attackers, more clubies!!! LETS TEACH THEM HOW TO RUN./el8h4x0r.sh and to hide all their scripts in the./.../ directory tree! Yes, H4x0rv1ll3 H1gh sch00L will be a great place for all!!!
As for what he thinks of SCO's actions, Torvalds in an e-mail interview compared the fight between SCO, IBM and Novell Inc. to bad TV. "Quite frankly, I found it mostly interesting in a Jerry Springer kind of way. White trash battling it out in public, throwing chairs at each other. SCO crying about IBM's other women.... Fairly entertaining," said Torvalds.
TOO FUNNY! HAHA!
Cool stuff... imagine an input like
a///...{500 slashes later}...///b
It could really do some damage to the first algorithm.
Makes me want to bring up a legacy linux system with the first apache package installed and run some tests and analyze the results in comparison to the patched version.. but alas I am too lazy and its 2 in the morning...
I'll take annoying popups over registering to read some article written by the NYTimes journalists... and that way i dont have to register and get SPAMed!
The "submitter" is obviously a proponent of OSS dumbass, hence OSS is their "alterior motive."
Subjective statements are what slashdot is all about! (they aren't a scientific journal for crying out loud!) It does put the Indian president on a new plane of existance, the one most of us identify with!
I've seen something like this in Jason's Deli where you somehow have your credit card hooked on or glued to your cell phone and just quickly swipe it by to pay for overpriced food... Anyone know what the difference is between this and the one I am seeing in the Deli?
On another note, I hope my girlfriend never gets a hold on one of these!
Don't you just know AOL hated this aquisition... They saw it as a money pot when I am sure it has made them little.. I like their attitude and distaste for the corporate monster that is AOL..

Wow, reading this article you would have thought the average "video-surfer" was on an OC3...
Maybe 5-10 years from now, but not now... not this way...
I would say the integrity of your data would be the biggest beneficial feature ReiserFS has to offer you.

IMHO.
Who blew the whistle? Let us thank him/her... Now hopefully we can push forward with this and get Linksys to actually comply with the GPL...
Or anything by Godspeed You! Black Emporer!?

If she can find it cheaper on MonsterPatterns.com then maybe she can afford to give me two shiney quarters for cleaning out her gutters!

Following down that path of logic you should also start tuning your scanner in on classified military frequencies...
LOL! :'D

This registering to be a "user" of the NYTimes website just to read a single little clipping gets on my nerves!!!
