What if the "enemy" used some kind of communications that didn't depend on satellite transmissions, a communication method that is relatively easy to make anonymous and communicate with great speed around the world. A network that cannot be simply switched off or blocked, with many redundant links that can be routed through any number of different points around the globe!
Surely this theoretical Interconnected Network would be a terrifying information weapon in the wars of the future!
Where libraries are on a linux system should not be handled by each individual application, just move all the/lib64 ones to/lib, and remove/lib64 from/etc/ld.so.conf. As far as I know everything should still work, unless Fedora does something queer with libraries.
Wasn't the entire initial point of the Internet to create a more effective method of emergency communications in the event of a major disaster such as nuclear war?
Surely radio is not that reliable... And isn't it the same fundamental technology as terrestrial television?
Actually, it would probably be a good thing if the hypothetical disk-erasing worm would come along -- it would probably prompt a lot of dumb users to make backups, take some basic security precautions, and maybe consider switching from MS-ware to more secure OSS.
I know he's an arrogant prick, but esr points out exactly why that wouldn't be a good thing here.

4. Profit!
Make that four.
SGI are still in the UNIX business.
Not even so much as shift+6!

Drop the "3D" and I'd be inclined to agree with you.

Google recently announced their interest in the text messaging market by releasing GoogleTalk;
But that should really read "Instant Messaging" since Text Messaging, at least in the UK, is synonymous with SMS on mobile telephones,
unless GoogleTalk does this?
When your own company has a problem, it's a "challenge," usually one that gives you an "opportunity" to continue to "innovate" or be creative.
Let us not forget the "visualisation" of "paradigm shifts" in respect to "synergy"!
I'd go for the Shuffle and print out a playlisting from iTunes if I really wanted to know the song order.
The shuffle... The shuffle...
Play order... The shuffle!
Because wires are sooooo 1990s! Wireless is the exciting "new" technological buzzconcept of today.
I can't imagine why though...
All this is mute until we can make nano tubes as easily and reliable as we make rope.
So no-one is able to speak aloud about it?
Ooooooh, you mean moot!
</pedant>
A Beowulf cluster of those!
Oh, wait...
There's some serious glitching in the Matrix on slashdot these days.
Yesterdays story on this exact same subject.
But the search results show a snippet of text from the page as the description, which is basically what this is doing.

P.S. don't forget to run ldconfig
We just need a BT site that "gets it". Answers on a postcard please...

Yo, let's start one! Slashdot style moderation of torrents, karma and whatnot. Send me an e-mail!
If it's good enough to watch, it's good enough for me to spend some money on it.
How do you know it's good enough to watch before you've watched it?
when the PIAA will be formed?
*tongue in cheek*
Seasons differ depending on what hemisphere of the planet you live in. I assume it means the time of Autumn relative to the Northern world.

I could be wrong, please correct me if I am.
Perhaps when the software comes out of beta it'll be ported.
Along with Duke Nukem Forever!
How many of those MSIE exploits compromise the entire OS?
It is Free Software.
I don't have to pay for it, and it is a computer program.
Actually, it would probably be a good thing if the hypothetical disk-erasing worm would come along -- it would probably prompt a lot of dumb users to make backups, take some basic security precautions, and maybe consider switching from MS-ware to more secure OSS.

Once the novelty wears off, sales will drop off
Famous last words, no?
