Does it make it harder to set up services such as email or apache?
I used SELinux for a year or so on one machine and LIDS on another machine for a comparison.
I found both had really strong features, the biggest of which is their MAC's they add to the kernel.
I found both performed similarly with LIDS by far being the easiest to set up and get going. SELinux worked straight after the compile, but it was much harder to get to the same level of control as LIDS.
Back when I was doing this, a ptrace() bug was found that allowed a normal user to happily upgrade himself to root, and while a normal box of mine easily gave up root.. these two boxes knew that something was up, and they didn't allow that to happen. In LIDS case, you can give root no rights, and set up a LIDS administrator account with all the rights, that way, if someone does gain root, they won't be able to do much of anything.
First off, the lane I'm talking about can't be entered or exited easily. You are on a raised part of the road that is separated from the rest of the highway by large cement walls. Secondly, when you pass under the sign that says "FastTrak" when you are in the HOV section, you can see about 16 cameras mounted all along the sign archway. So, if you go through by yourself, you get a nice little $300 ticket in the mail. Now I don't know what the folks with really tinted windows do where the cameras can't see in? My guess is, they either get the ticket for the HOV lane, or they get a ticket for having illegal tinting.
We have a stupid FastTrak system here in California for the carpool lanes where you can pay even if you are by yourself in the car. They give you a transmitter box and it debits your account when you get in the lane. Long story short, they give you a bag made out of silver to put your transmitter in if you actually do have a passenger with you, so your account won't get debited.
Seems like one of these silver bags would work perfect to put RFID enabled items in.
The parent poster is correct. For the most part we are coming to a time where many vehicles will be replaced by UAV's. The downside to UAV's vs. human pilots is the ability for a human to make quick decisions with nearly unlimited outside inputs vs. a piece a software that has a limited number of state transitions programmed in. AI is coming along though.
The side in the UAV's favor is the overlying belief of the government (and hopefully most of you out there) that microchips are much cheaper than human lives. We can replace microchips.
Because of the LO (low observable) design, there is no way we would give this to another country. So, these companies will just drop it and move on.

Just what most women want, to see themselves in the mirror and then a picture of a supermodel wearing the same thing. Talk about a self-esteem builder.
I must say that the Mozilla project has breathed new life into the web, and as a side-effect, into the Linux desktop.
Indeed. I was laughing the other day about how I am excited to go browse a webpage again. I was tinkering with the features of firefox, and was just loving it. I had used Mozilla on my Linux box at home, but to be using firefox at work on my Win2k machine is absolutely refreshing. Keep up the good work guys.

Above all, we wanted to go and present the non-RMS, non-crazy-anti-IP side of linux.
Or he could've switched some uranium with pert plus shampoo and then took the uranium and drove it out of the facility on a RC car, and then made himself a nuclear bomb for a science fair. Oh wait...
I think you misread the post and clearly left out the word "monopolized". No one ever mentioned that Java was invented after QT. Whether it was or was not is not mentioned.
"Before Sun monopolized the notion of 'write once, run everywhere"
Clearly, Java wasn't nearly as popular in 2000 as it is now, and it certainly didn't enjoy the virtual monopoly it does now.
If it can get information from my brain, can I finally prove to my wife that I have no f-ing clue what she is talking about most of the time, or that I REALLY don't care where we go eat friday!
Sorry buddy, just read it this morning. Gandalf rides an eagle to go and pick up sam and frodo off of mount doom before they get swallowed up by the lava that is surrounding them. I haven't seen the movie, but if that is what happened, trust me it's in the book.
When I first read this article, I asked myself, "So is this good or bad for linux?". I guess it should be good, but for some reason, I still have a bad taste in my mouth.

Hope that clears it up.

The RIAA did it.

2) Attacks evil corporation on top and finally returns RIAA to their hard fought spot!

So how are companies without iPod's supposed to make money??
Oh well, I wouldn't mind Microsoft or Wal-mart loosing a bit of money. I might even sneak out a laugh.
