Now you can have those 64 CPU machines that you've always wanted. Hmm, I wonder if the new kernel will come with any legal exemptions like "Not to be used by any employee or lawyer of SCO"?
This will no doubt be marked as redundant. That's fine. But it's a great time to remind everyone that Red Hat is not Linux. Red Hat is one distro among hundreds. Don't like Mr. Szulik's responses? Change distros.
Personally, I prefer Debian, and I'm hopeful my hosting company will make the move very soon.
There have been news articles about infrasound and ELF sound experiments since the Cold War began. Both the US and Soviet scientists experimented extensivel y with infrasound as a weapon, and found that it was effective against troops, except for that one annoying minor problem - it affected both sides equally.
And if you connect ANY critical operating system to the Internet, frankly, you're insane. There's no sensible reason to do so. Monitoring your systems is fine, that's what a management network is for... but the actual core of the critical system should be as close to that powered-down concrete encased computer as possible.

Smaller shops will likely continue to innovate, especially in new markets like cell phones and PDAs, where compactness of code and short development cycles pay off quickly. You will not likely see Doom XXVIII on your Samsung NPH-3500 phone, but you might just see Bookworm coming soon.
Don't be fooled into thinking that consoles and PC are - forgive the pun - the only game in town.
Seems like the new standard - now they can enforce virus definition subscriptions as well - previously, reinstalling the product after a clean deinstall + registry clean would reset the subscription date for definition updates.
So the real question is - if there are 3.6M bogus copies sold, and (by RIAA numbers) an additional 360M pirated freely online, by enforcing the product activation, will the Internet see more viruses or less? (and yes, I know it's technically virii)
Am I the only one who thinks that iteration after iteration of virus to fine tune the mechanics has its next and possibly most significant launch date on September 11?
I see a lot of posts asking "Why" since perl -MCPAN -e shell is about as straightforward as it can get.
Obviously, it was created to scratch an itch, so cut the guy some slack. If you don't like it, don't install it. For him, and maybe for others who are new to it all and are just comfortable with one tool, it solves a problem.
Nice! 20%? I wonder if there's some way I can Copyright 1/5th of the English Language regarding credit cards, since I run a credit card site. (prior art doesn't seem to be stopping SCO...) Then I can charge SCO to license business financial language for every crappy annual report they've ever released.
1. Copyright 1/5 of language. 2. File lawsuit. 3. Profit!
Not much new there, except to say that SCO must be using the RIAA's supply of calculators to determine how many lines of code are infringing. There are approximately 30 million lines of code in the kernel:

And SCO is claiming that 3.3% of the Linux kernel is theirs? From a company that did nothing with Linux until it acquired a GPL distribution? Right.
in other news, political scientists from California claim to have made the first genetic crossbreed between a politician and a jackass and... oh wait... never mind.
Debian is one of my favorite distributions, it's earned a well-deserved accolade for 10 years of reasonably stable operation without all the hype of other operating systems. Stable, fast, easy to use once you're comfortable with its way of doing things... can't love it more than that!
Diebold industries supplied approximately 400,000 of the 800,000 machines in the Indian election. The company indicated that some machines were previously slated for the upcoming 2004 election and were sent to India for testing. Election monitors were confused, however, when votes cast for any Prime Minister candidate accidentally began to read George W. Bush, despite the fact that the US President is both ineligible and unqualified for the Indian PM position. Diebold promises to research the bug.
Yeah, I remember when the GOP actually stood for something besides corporate profit-mongering. There was once upon a time when conservative simply meant that you tried your best to plan for an uncertain future and allowed people the right to screw up their lives.
You can't expect a secure voting machine! I mean, how else can [insert current party in power] rig the next election unless the machines are grossly insecure?
And how long until WozNet becomes subpoena'd for records by the Department of Homeland Security?
Yes, each cluster is locally administered, not by a large agency, but there's nothing saying that implementations of the pager/SMS/email must require cc:jashcroft@doj.gov...
True - but the difference between the laws against burglary and the laws against spam are due to the global nature of the 'Net.
A burglar who robs your house in Boston generally would have a hard time doing so from Herzegovinia. A spammer can steal resources from you from pretty much any place online.
I agree that legislation is a good place to start. But we also need to address spam from a technical side, at the server level. Spam isn't profitable if it never reaches its intended destination.
It's all about money. Until legislators and the rest of the folks who run systems that understand this, spam will not stop. Spam is a cost effective, if obnoxious, solution for advertising. Even if spam is illegal, unless the entire planet decides to take unified action, spam will not stop - it'll just relocate to places without extradition treaties. You'll end up having to blackhole entire countries to staunch it.
How many people and how many euros is the EU willing to pony up to enforce these laws? Probably about the same amount that the United States ponies up for speed limit enforcement. 55 MPH is the law, not the reality...
Last I checked, Red Hat Advanced wasn't more than a couple of hundred dollars. Throw in PostgreSQL and Apache SSL, and you have a basic system to throw data into.
It would be a vicious, ugly irony if the budget cut resulted in Department of Homeland Security resorting to exclusive use of Open Source to accomplish their goals, don't you think?

Wouldn't you love to hack this so that it downloads and automatically installs Debian?
:)
I would.
