What's the point of an empty list of last minute changes?
Anyway, could someone who knows please tell me if FreeBSD is still as stable as it was under the 4.x cycle? I've been thinking about running this on a server or two.
I've been going with the Gmail philosophy of storing everything. Until someone gets hold of my password of course.
People should generally be more careful with the storage of their online communication. Print what's important and stick it all in a drawer. That's the safe way to do it.
That's no surprise at all. I've only ever killed two computers of mine, and both were the victims of a failing power supply unit. I was thinking; since it's possible to block electrical shocks from entering vital equipment by placing a blocking device in between the wall and the power cord, why not use such a device in a computer? Let's say all powercords from the PSU were shock protected, wouldn't that save tons of motherboards every year from burning up?
In the other eWeek article/interview with Linus Torvalds, he mentions that he uses the Open Source License for another project of his. Does anyone know which project he's talking about?
Except that you didn't read my post properly. What I said was that the only people bitching about file sharing being bad are the ones making money from what's being shared. Such as greedy musicians, film-companies, etc. Pirates usually don't make any money from their piracy, and lots of pirates buy what's freely available to them, because they want inlays in albums and boxes for their films.
It seems that Google is now competing for Microsofts held place as world ruler. They are literally getting into every buisness available. So far so good, but what's next? Google-approved real-estate? Google water supply?
Of course this is a question with a different answer depending on who you ask, but if I were to be the admin of a fairly large system, I would probably go with Debian unstable. Stable doesn't provide the software I want, but unstable will of course need close monitoring of the packages you use. If you're fine with Debian stable, you could probably also go with FreeBSD if that fits you.
The major distributions (RedHat/Fedora, Mandrake, etc.) put their focus too much on desktop usage and usability, which also takes the focus away from simplicity and stability. Every server admin should prefer to study and learn the system, instead of adjusting the system to fit his/her own incapabilities.

They are so 1995... Seriously though. How big is their userbase nowadays? Most of their services can now be found on MSN as well as Google, right?

Oh, I was apparently wrong. As long as you don't break it, the warranty is still valid.
...but then the warranty will be void, and any mistake will be fatal. Damn Apple.

It's illegal, it's wrong, and it's certainly not good for you. If you're rich because of what's being shared.
