I work as a contractor teaching RHCEs for Red Hat, based on Red Hat Linux, which is mostly Open Source Software (I think Pine's still included in the current release). I wouldn't use the word exploited (its correct, but has negative connotations) but Red Hat gains from Open Source software (they also give a lot too, but that's off topic).
They don't sell the software, but their services and training are based on their Linux distribution.
My opinions don't necessary represent my employers.
Umm...if djbdns isn't open-source, then how is it that I've been able to install it on source-based distros like Gentoo and LFS?
That you can get source code for an application doesn't mean its Open Source. Some other examples besides DNSDNS would be QMail, Pine or Microsoft Windows. The Open Source definition is available from http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.ph p. Specifically DJB doesn't allow derived works to be destributed under the same terms as the original (specifically, as binaries). If someone wanted to package DJBDNS and install the software into LSB standard locations, DJB prevents them from doing so.
Compared to Bind 8, or 9? Bind 9 has a pretty good security record, being a complete rewrite of previous versions. Its pretty easy to set up, it, especially since, unlike DJBDNS, its open source, so you can get binary packages that install into standard FHS locations and work with the other applications on your system.
I recently brought a Sony Ericsson T610. Its sexy, powerful, and works with Linux. Much fun to be be had with Bluetooth, IRMC, GPRS, and the inbuilt camera. So far, it:
Takes photos with inbuilt camera, which I can then transfer to my laptop.
Syncronizes its contacts, Todo list and Calendar with Evolution.
If there's no packages? Its a great application, but there's no way you'd want to be tasked with having to install, upgrade and maintain OpenOffice is a manner unlike very other application on your systems.
It surprising they leave this task to third parties in this day and age, and prefer maintaining their old install system when its so painful to use. I'd be willing to help out but the non autoconf install process makes this quite difficult...
I wanted to save some time documenting servers, so I wrote Accudoc to automatically generate server documentation for (currently Red Hat) Linux systems.
Its written in shell, and just uses a bunch of shell functions I made to create the documents.
You can download a copy here if you want. It's open source, and if you're a SysAdmin you might find it useful to produce written reports of servers you manage.
The binaries available on the MPLayer site are pretty ancient - for Red Hat 7..x. If you're using Red Hat, you'll find the download sites / yum repositories / apt repositories at FreshRPMs or Fedora.

-1, repeating the same joke as the person you're responsing to because you didn't get it.

Those who live in the US, where the dictionary you've cited comes from. Good luck anywhere else.
until I read the link. Dude, its catsup or ketchup.
make rpm
I think there's also a make dpkg too.
This is called Doing Things Properly.
Since IE 4 service packs.
Not sure where you got your information from, but a Flash plugin has been part of the IE install for years now.

Check your Hotmail with any POP3 mail client by installing Hotwayd.
It works a treat, allowing me to access my hotmail account via Evolution.
Devices that used the maximum throughput of USB 1.1 were full speed. Devices that utilize the full speed of USB 2 are high speed.
Alas, not so simple.
Future applications: being a remote control for my laptop (playing MP3s, or controlling presentations).
Software used: Bluez, Multisync, Bluetooth Transfer Manager, K68 and (on the phone) KaBlog.
Linux Port :^)

Cool. All I need is the Unix port...
...all the time, rather than when using Gnome GUI applications.
GnomeVFS and KIOSlaves do what the OS can already (if that OS is Linux).
You know, it's always wonderful to see this kind of effort going into preserving some of the history of our technological society.
;^)
Yeah, I thought spelling Red Hat that way was cool too

Mozilla (+derivatives) is our only full featured OSS browser
Pardon?
let me tell you, 1.35 minutes later, I love it. I feel kind of stupid for not doing this earlier.
What, clicking something?
Since a vanilla Red Hat install leaves one port open by default - a DHCP client.
Um, that's an oxymoron.
When you know what they stand for.

And why - which you can read in the Doom FAQ.
There's lots of commercial OSS software the Chinese government is still intending to use.
