It seems to me that people don't so much want integration with Exchange, but they do want something that works like Exchange. If you could provide easy to use shared calendaring through some other server platform, I think you would have a reall killer app. So far the ones I've looked at just are not there yet.
The stats indicating that BitTorent accounts for %35 of internet traffic are highly suspect. The methodology used in the study was poor and the study was performed by an entity who sells traffic shaping gizmo's that are marketed to, among other things, deal with the tricky problem of managing p2p traffic.
The power of an RFC pales in comparison to the power of having your mail be undeliverable to a large percentage of Internet users. Peer pressure always works better than standards.
Let me break this down for you: Source code is stolen Individual sells source code that was stolen Individual ges busted
The fact that you can get the stolen code somewhere else doesn't make it okay to sell it, even pre-DMCA, pre-PATRIOT, pre-PICK-YOUR-SHITTY-LEGISLATION. He F'ed up. He will now most likely receive a far greater ass reaming than is deserved because he is the current available target, and they don't have anyone else. That sucks, but see my previous point: he F'ed up.
As for the investigation, would you prefer they took everything from his house, regardless of whether they felt it was relevant to the case? Or would you then piss and moan that they violated his rights by overstepping the bounds of the investigation?
Your right, I've installed FireFox on a number of my friends computers for them and recommended it to a number of other people. However, there are a whole lot of people that don't have a geek to talk to. The geeks can get a few points for Firefox, but not a real threat.
The real threat will need to come from a corporate standpoint, i.e. AOL starts to use Firefox as their browser or Dell starts to bundle it with their systems.
It's foolish to think that alternative browsers will ever have more than a few percentage points as long as users have what appears to them be a perfectly good browser sitting on their computer when they unpack it from Dell/Gateway/Whatever. We're talking about people who for the most part don't have the competence to download security fixes, let alone downloading a new browser. Just as Windows is synonymous with computers for most people, IE is synonymous for the Internet. I'll believe the browser wars are back when Dell (oor similar) bundles Firefox with their machines.
I don't know about this. I'm all in favor of more and better internet access, but the government sucks at just about everything they do. The best we can expect to see are good operations with excessive expenditures, it is likely we will see poorly run operations with excessive expenditures. I would be more interested in seeing something like having broadband operators overseen by the PUC in areas where they are a monopoly.
If we could also get the names of every one of our senators and representatives on there(preferably while they were at their home state or out of the country) we could really start to improve matters.
For a lot of good reading on truly effective security practices, read Bruce Schneier's stuff, http://www.schneier.com/, his crypto-gram newsletters have lots of interesting reading.
They are running Windows for the same reason that they are connected to a network, some pinhead PHB somewhere is trying to save a buck. It's probably cheaper for them to develop on a Windows platform rather then on a proper embedded paltform. Just like its cheaper for them to put these devices on a shared network, rather than having them properly firewalled off onto their own secured environment. Follow the $$$.

I don't think that Sun will bury it on purpose, but they will get buried when Sun completes the crash and burn cycle. With their current strategy I think that Novell has got a chance at regrouping and doing some cool stuff. I don't think that Sun will effectively use the assets they would acquire with a purchase of Novell and they would take them to the grave.
Actually it results in an effective 168 bit key, 3*56.
But yes, AES should definitely be the encryption of choice going forward, much easier on CPU power.
Losing fan base doesn't hurt a company.
Losing customer base does.
Red Hat is definitely losing status as the favored distro among people with servers in their basement. We'll see if they can manage with the folks who have servers in a datacenter.
He was not talking about BIND at all, or even as the author of BIND, that was just a side note. He was speaking as the director of the ISC, which runs one of the root DNS servers, F root specifically. His comments were in reference to the varying architectures in the root zone, versus akamai's non-diversity.
But yeah, the context on the quote was fubared, and so was the title. I didn't see one thing in the article referring to what akamai did, it was all about what akamai did not do.
I'm not sure how this differs from UPnP. I thought it was a bad idea when MS did it, and I don't think it's much of a better idea now that Apple is doing it. Making everything talk to everything else automagically is a flippin' security nightmare, and Apple's track record in that field as of late hasn't been too great either.

I've almost never seen an appropriate analogy of any kind, and certainly not on Slashdot.

Also interesting to see what a large scale roll-out will do as far as impacting other devices. Will they pass a ban on 2.4GHz cordless phones?
Yahtze!
The majority of stock was not publicly offered.
That which was offered had no voting rights.
Tough to do much under this scenario.

Do you really want Kennedy driving? Now that's a threat to the country!
And I truly don't understand why the government allows such small/midsize cars to share the road with large cars/trucks.

IIRC, HP didn't bury that architecture, Compaq buried it prior to the acquisition.
