Everyone has heard of Google, we use the word Google every day.. If someone were to say ACS won a law suit against Google, you'd think ACS must be pretty big in order to have a valid claim against Google. OTOH you may think ACS are pretty small for Google not to have heard of them.
That is a very valid point, but some idiots would also vote negativly, just for spite... I think the saying goes, "there's lies, bigger lies, and then statistics".
I'm from the UK, pretty much every tele vision show has some form of premium rate voting hotline number to see someone get evicted from a relaity tv show or vote for them based on credit for something like singing etc.
Why the hell do we need to vote for a splash screen? Whats wrong with just looking at the apache log and count the hits?
What anoys me further is that all the geeky looking artwork was just that, looking geeky, without any real throught to the production quality.
The Linux kernel is free. Can't Dell choose someone else, such as OpenBSD/Debian/Knoppix?
Why is everyone so RedHat this, Fedora Core that? It beats me, the only distro worse than RH/FC is Gentoo as you only need one package tool command, so that even the biggest of n00b can
emerge
this or that.
Dell should not try and make people think that they can migrate from Windows to Linux just by using RH. They should make it clear that Linux is more than just
rpm
, why not let the user get their distro of choice on cdr instead of RH preinstall junk? This benefits Dell in that they do not have to support the end product software.
I'm thinking more in terms of hiding data, not regular access. If it's for regular access, just be sensible about how you store it, physically and logically, ie. dont give the national crime database server a public IP address.
Networks which are obscure are often safer, if you run a network of the same OS then it's going to be easier to hack, if you run a machine where each system runs a different OS then it harder to hack away at.
Security through obscurity is not infinatly safe, but it does slow things down. Perhaps long enough for the next encryption standard to be released.
It's all about the famous IMPS (Infinite Monkey Protocol Suite, RFC2795), if you give the CPU enough data, and enough time, it will eventually crack what ever encryption you are using. To be safe, deploy a stegography technique to hide your data, such as in the meta field of a picture, or within some MIME data on a harmless looking email, but be clever about it (theres a lot of junk in harmless looking SWAP file).
Linux is just the kernel. GNU is the programs that go with it. Who cares if Red Hat claim the kernel is theirs... Let them, we all know that the majority of the work is done by those on irc.linux.org.

The cure (if you don't know) is Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup, DayQuil and Sprite, thats to Matt and Trey at Southpark Comedy central for that.
It's as though you think we already don't know how to breath!
You efforts would have been better spent documenting the OpenBSD installer, although, thats already done in their website.
Slightly off topic, how about making the installer work fully over the serial port, that would make my monitor switching from workstation to new server much less frequent as I have a null modem cable that I can use only post install.
There's good how-tos on www.6bone.net and www.tldp.org;)
I never got passed the 'subscribe to 6bone' stage, was too much to read and I thought IPv6 means more bits for my dear ol' mowdem to cope with.
Having DHCP on a given computer is as valid as having NAT on the given computer and not using your broadband router for NAT. The chances are the router is not as capable as ISC DHCP. I'd like to see a router that is as capable as OBSD PF.
IMO the broadband nat/router should be just a modem, and the computer user should set up services like that. If you have a reason for requiring DHCP on the router, then your network is likely too big to be managed by the router. Get your self a descent computer to act as a server. Remember, the more junk that your broadband router does, the more frequent you better check for updates on the manufacturer's obscure website.
The article itself is very good, it shows IBM are actively helping people get services running on UNIX style boxes. This is good both for the software market and for IBM.
I use a IMAP mail server which I can access from the outside, and the bookmarks file I keep synchronised though mailing it to myself. I have been meaning to make some java to catalog my bookmarks and keep it sync'd but I never got around to it.
I suppose on those cloudy days I could get on the stationary cycle. Just of of interest, how much does it cost with the tredmill, bicycle and stationary rower?
I think us IT professionals have a bad rap when it comes to gym work, this cannot be true otherwise the idea of a bicycle powered computer would never have survided off the drawing board.

ACS are doing this purely for the publicity.

To some, patch means buggy, and service pack means free update
Maybe Im not as pollitical as some, but surely, a free and open OS is going to thrive in Russia, even under a capitalist government

Im a geek, thats hazzardous to my fertility, not the fact that Im using a laptop!

Is that because UPS dont have huge boxes of AOL distibution CDs to ship?
Better than being a deep sea fisherman though! You should look for a job as a R+D person.
In the UK you're lucky if you dont get dumped via SMS!

Well, it's about time you heard the 3.6 MP3, I think its in ftp.openbsd.org/pub/songs/.

It is not just the children or older generation, but also middle aged people who go seeking porn on the intarweb.
How much does it cost to keep a goat in one of these things?
This looks pretty cool. I think I might give that a go. Thanks.

Damn this sounds cool. I gotta get one of these.

What does this have to do with space?
