Actually, you're right. It's/.'s lack of journalistic integrity that got me this time. Jamie said that he modified the story this time. Anybody ever hear of posting a correction?
Looks like you need to read that text again. The auth was referring to this new potential hack as being revolutionary on a scale similar to the Model A, years after the introduction of the Model T.
I've been backing up most of the servers that I administer onto a hard drive for at least a couple of years now. Typically, I simply scp a tar file to my backup server once a day. It's worked flawlessly, and my backup server can EASILY be offsite. This is my preferred backup strategy.
I must add here that central systems are typically good for the employee. I recently left a company which had many different, regional expense reporting systems. On the occasion that I would perform work in a different region than where I lived (which, as a consultant, happened often), I would have to deal with tons of extra red tape to get my money back from the company. With one central system, work for another region would be no different from work at home as far as expenses are concerned.
Anyway, I know this is a bit off-topic, but Larry's not totally crazy.
Actually, Walnut Creek CDROM didn't ship 4.0 to people who subscribe to the FreeBSD CDROMS. That tells me that it's not a worthy release. I think 4.1 will be the one to watch out for. --
the day that Rob releases the source to the latest version of Slash or the day that hell freezes over, whichever comes last.
But seriously, I think that a Microsoft breakup would be good for the industry. If some of that source were to be opened up, many hackers out there could create new tools for our beloved open source operating systems. Just imagine: a browser and a word processor on Linux that look, feel, and function exactly the same as IE and Word (well, I hope somebody would at least remove some of the IE bugs, though;) --
The Germans are a powerful group, in the EU, and they probably don't like that discussion of Echelon has been squished.
It is also true the the German government has a vested interest in AMD's FAB 30, which is in Dresden. I'm sure they'd be all too happy if the p3 was blocked and Athlon sales skyrocketed in Europe. --
You all realize, of course, that by pursuing a geek chick you're violating the first rule
Well, that may be a violation of some people's rules, but it's certainly not a violation of mine. I think I'd rather have a geek chick than a non-geek chick. --
I don't know anything about OpenLinux other than what I've read in a few articles. And I don't care to. Distributions are all variations on the same thing in my mind.
And realisticly, installation doesn't need to be easier than Windows. Windows installation is not always a trivial matter, and there are probably at least 40 million copies installed (very rough figure). I believe that the ease of installation has nothing to do with acceptance. Sure, it might make it a little easier, but what we really need are the apps. That's what drives everybody to Windows. That's why I'm running Windows right now, even though all of my servers use either Linux or FreeBSD. --
Actually, this could be looked upon in an entirely different way: This product is a way for developers to get their products onto the Linux platform without much effort. When/if they realize a great demand for Linux software, I'm sure they will want to offer apps that don't depend on such emulation. --
Hey man, read the MainSoft site. They've already got this product out for several different OSes: Solaris, Tru64, HP/UX, AIX, and Irix. The Linux version is just a port to another OS. I don't think it is anywhere near as unlikely as you make it out to be.
Also, several versions feature the Stingray Objective Toolkit. I'm not familiar with this toolkit, and I have my own doubts about it.
OTOH, I think that this app is VERY highly priced. I was unable to find any pricing on the site, but it seems to be portrayed as a very expensive, highly-targeted app. --
I really like slashdot. It's a great site for reading news about stuff that I'm interested in. Every now and then, though, I run across a meaningless story like this one. These stories belong on freshmeat. Slashdot is "News for Nerds," not new applications for nerds. Guys, stick to what you're good at, and let scoop do what he's good at. --

Has anybody tried this thing out yet?

I thought I'd go for a bit of variety. ;-)

The word you're looking for is "googol". Google is a search engine.
The word you're looking for is "googol". Your spelling has been corrupted by Corporate America.

Looks like I'm going to need a new Palm soon.
My palm, while a bit hairy, shouldn't need replacing any time within the next fifty years.

Have YOU considered the possibility that VA just announced that they're buying ANDN? And IIRC, VA owns linux.com.

Marissa,
You're extremely attractive for a geek chick. I'm proud to have women like you in such a wonderful society!

Hmm. I'm not familiar with Trinux. I guess I've got some research to do. ;)
