Do you see the DMCA as a law that can truly benefit the world as a whole, or just a tool of the big corporations (MPAA, I'm looking at you) or whatever?
Over here, we have this box (a Linux one) serving web pages and acting as internet gateway for a Windows XP user in the other room. The XP box is a virtual Pandora's Box or spyware, where Adaware saw it and practically ran away screaming (74 hits! 9 viruses!). The user on this box is a Microsoft lover bordering on zealotry, and regards Microsoft's suggestions as the best ones (Hotmail, patches et al). She has ICQ on the same computer as MSN, but barely uses it.
When MSN and Hotmail went down (or go down, even) Linux and I get the blame. Even when I categorically remove any possibility that the bottleneck is the Linux box (I couldn't connect from this one, Hotmail wasn't working from this one) she still ranted and raved that she "wanted her email back" and whined about it.
They've fixed that f**king annoying problem where I can't boot if either AGPART or the framebuffer are enabled. Why would a simple Riva TNT2 card cause problems where there were none before???
That "fear" is phony. The US* may have a load of gun murders, but the fact is that it's not really worth your time constantly worrying that a guy with a gun is going to jump out and the sky is going to fall in.
Yeah, Darl probably gets death threats, but the chances of "militant nerds" uprising is near zero.
*Yes, US. As another poster said, the US is not the world. The US has 11,000 gun murders a year, us Brits have 68.
Greenpeace released a similar site a while back about the Mayak plant. The Mayak plant released the same amount of radiation over 50 years than Chernobyl released at once, and it's totally fucked up the area. Minatom don't want to shut it down and they're still reprocessing fuel.
After extensive reading, I must conclude that you are an idiot. No, not an idiot: a cretin.
If it doesn't indicate that MS raised money for SCO, then WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT INDICATE?! It does not indicate anything other than MS being the operator of the SCO puppet, and it's obvious to everyone who is not braindead.
And, just to sum up your moronity...it's ESR not RMS.

None o' that. That was planned for later versions.
The idea was that you would have one central repository for programs, with big tarballs. Each of the tarballs would have an app, and these apps would have dependencies. These dependencies would be provided for by other tarballs etc...
Hell, it's RPM minus the bullshit and with Gentoo happiness. Uninstalling would be dealt with by copying the source code to the compiled program to a specified directory, and then an uninstall prog would make uninstall that. Simple, but obviously it would be as painful as a kick in the nuts for a noob.
Non normal installs I would make normal:)

Same here. I wrote a little program which automates installing source packages for stupid people (i.e those that don't want to use the terminal). It was basically just a little thing that could provide a massive bundle of help for many. Indeed-imagine if this were integrated into KDE! Click a.tar.gz icon and watch it compile and install right before your eyes! It could be like RPMs, just without dependency hell. It could be like Portage on any distro. It could be like Debian, but with no need to apt-get -f install, or type in some obscure library name.
But no. Of course, dogs on a fucking website makes more sense than something that could help a lot of people, and a lot of sysadmins.
If anybody thinks the program is a good idea, mail me or put a comment on my blog somewhere. I lost the tarball a while back, but I'm willing to redo it.
And the Complete Idiots Guide to HTML 4. All three of those resources helped me a great deal, plus looking at other sites source code to see how they were made. Some of WMs articles were OK, but it wasn't exactly overly helpful to me.

I dunno. If your definition of "car" is loose enough to include "convoy of ICBM launchers" then the probability goes significantly higher...
I had the same problem.

I'm doing a site about this, lotsa ranting
I thought Microsoft was part of the Government now. They seem to innovate a lot.
I thought they were outsourcing these things :)
Next up: Outsourcing missile control to China...

This gives a disturbing new meaning to the terms "cockpit" and "joystick".
Go watch Bowling for Columbine.

That "SCO" logo is the Caldera systems logo from a while back. Seems the Slashdot editors don't wanna change it.
Now you mention it though...
From the "no shit sherlock" department.
Wrong question, dude. The right question is "Is Slashdot ever *not* broken?" :)
I always thought F/OSS was the communist side :)
Now, I wonder how long this guy's WWW site will stay up :-?

But isn't the spyware in and of itself the vulnerability?
Damn, people need to get tough on this shit.
An hour before this one was posted!
Damn you, evil editors. DAMN YOU!
Ahem.
Sorry.
DAMN YOU!!!!
ONLY if it's the same size as the original file?
ONLY IF IT'S THE SAME SIZE AS THE ORIGINAL FILE!?
Where the fuck is the use in that!?
