Maybe I am unclear on the copyright infringement thing and everything, but doesn't this conflict with MS in some way?!
I mean, Open Office is freeware (also works on FreeBSD) but they're selling something like this with Word capabilities? I smell trouble...or maybe it's just me;-)
BTW, I am not a fan of commercial apps for OSS platforms, seems contradicting somehow
This is the 21st century, radio, UV, and all sorts of electromagnetic waves float around us. These schools are not sticking unborn fetuses in microwaves, they are simply putting up a radio network.
Why not sue the sun because it's barraging Earth with all these bad rays, sue cell phone companies for placing cellphone towers where your children may be. Sue HOT 95.5! for transmitting that crappy music.
I see this as another victory for OSS, by doing something like this we ensure functional software, thanks to the NetBSD team for keeping everything in working order.
Now for those *BSD trolls, this is why *BSD is alive and well, people still use, and are dedicated to producing the *BSDs
This is an actual question, wasn't Wind River one of the major contributors to the fantastic development work done on FreeBSD?
If so, how could this be _bad_ for linux in any way shape or form? Even if you don't like the company, linux-heads should wake up and realize, any company that's investing in linux and open source is GOOD, look how far FreeBSD has come from 386/BSD and FreeBSD 2.x
I use BT on my iBook, and everytime I start using it, I get ridiculous downloads, right now I am getting 3.2KB/s, from the 100KB/s possible on my connection, (uploading somewhere between 8-12(my max)) Everybody seems to be going super fast, but I always get shafted, why!!!! (dramatically held)
I've also had BT's in the past with 5 seeders, and 12 leechers, where I was hardly even downloading anything. What gives? Mac bias?:-p
NetBSD is not exactly meant to be a large robust desktop type system, or support everything like the latest GNOME, or KDE versions or various servers. FreeBSD is meant for that, NetBSD is to work on almost everything with a CPU, RAM, and storage device. (OpenBSD is meant for security, duh)
Each of these has their niche, robustness is not NetBSD's, sorry
If I know that I am going to be charged an extra tax for buying stuff online, i'll buy from Canadian or other foreign vendors.
If I pay tax for selling stuff online, i'll try to sell from another country, such as Canadia.
it's that simple, nobody likes useless taxes, look at the german tax system, everybody hates that, and they have taxes on drinks, cigarettes, damn near everything.
The key to keeping taxes low and within reason, is to not spend so much on other unnecessary things! *cough*war, welfare, politicians paychecks */cough*
I was having problems the day before last, and I updated the SSH program to OpenSSH to fix some other problems, how might I find out if the version I installed had the fixer-upper in it? (and not by getting hacked:-p)
You'd be suprised, in CompSci at school today, one kid was talking about an acrylic PSU!!?!
Then another kid asked if they had acryllic hard drives, they then proceded to talk for 15 minutes about how cool that would be, and how bitchin acrylic cases are.
Whatever happened to buying a computer because it...it.. _works_
22,015 fuck-tards on the planet using linux (or fuck-tarded CPUs), I'm not quite sure how much of the market share that happens to be, but for linux that sucks ass.
I have linux running on about 3-4 CPUs, and FreeBSD on maybe 7-8, sue away SCO, i'll just tell the RIAA you were swapping Mp3's and child pr0n:-D
If you're working with enough data that would require a CLUSTER, then I would suggest a commercial product.
But if you need that SPEED, but not a lot of data storage, I'd say a decent sized MySQL cluster would cover you, depending on what your needs are.
If you are in the position to actually need a cluster to do that much work, you should be able to get something commercial and more large-scaled oriented
Hopefully this means AT&T will really upgrade their bandwidth capabilities, such as bettering that "last-mile problem"
With luck Verizon will upgrade theirs too, which _may_ benifit EVERYBODY.
(By the way, at school they use Cisco ip phones over the 100Mbps network, which seems to work fine.)
So, hopefully they'll upgrade their bandwidth capabilities (use that fiber optic already laid!), if not, they're smoking crack, and should be run outta town,
If you would have had a nice old MacWorld subscription, on the March 2003 issue, on the back was a great add for the kensington studiomouse, which is wireless, and has a cradle
This seems like a really niche market nowadays. Not _too_ many people that need fast internet, that could use this, don't have broadband availible. The one key thing is price, which is even starting to get iffy.
Something like $10-20 monthly for "speedy" earhtlink dial-up, or an extra $10-20 slapped on my monthly cable bill for broadband? (Charter Communications, they suck anyways)
I guess if you need to read/. or pr0n that much fast, it works, tell me if I am wrong, but I am seeing a small market for this much hype
The RIAA is not doing anything legal of the sort, they are threatening with suits, nothing more. Basically bullying money out of these people that work during the day, and maybe downloaded a couple songs last night to go to sleep to.
Instead of bitching about it on/, why not write your congressman or senator and get this shit taken care of, make some political noise about it, until the problem (RIAA) is solved (dead)
The difference here is that Apple can do both, that's their greatest victory with MacOS X.
Unix for the geekoids, and the great MacOS for those artist folk.
Anyways, a power processor with an Altivec-like twist, who cares! It does both.
And, believe it or not, no company has ever been successful marketing a computer towards one type of user, (artist, geek, etc) It's about flexibility (P.S. I've been using Mac for web design, and coding since System 7)

This is ridiculous, there's so many trolls, none are within my threshhold.
Anyways, this is a good advance for NetBSD, regardless of it having holes or not, getting an OS patched is always good.
Good job NetBSD, come on guys, give them some credit, they run netBSD on more platforms than almost anyone else.

Alright, maybe not that last one, but you get the point

How sad is this when you completely miss a Windows joke in a linux thread?
He was referring to not buying Windows (2000,2003, etc) before it stabilizes in SP2

What's this SEGWAY nonsense? Who would EVER want to buy one of those dumb things?!!

Go kiss-ass to the graphic artist, who, if is respectable at all, will at least have a PowerMac or three in his/her office.

If not, quit your job, and find a job at a respectable place of business

Beautiful mouse, but, there, question answered, and mice evolution goes on.

Now just give me some newly released Apple G5 benchmarks and the day will be perfect

One thing you have to remember, redhat has done VERY well using an open source/free product.
Same business ethic hopefully, free product, paid support, yet good support
