And router ACLs in most (all?) cases aren't stateful, so you need to allow access in both directions as opposed to one direction with state retained.
If you can't set the source port for an application, and only the destination port, you might be leaving much bigger holes than you would by throwing a firewall into the mix between subnets.
Is there a market for huge-ass air transport among the relatively few huge-ass airstrips?
I remember one of the limitations of the new Airbus jumbo passenger plane was the maximum wingspan which needed to work within the space allocated for a 747. Is this a limitation run into with air cargo planes, and might huge and durable airstrips like the NASA facilities help with this, or is it just easier to put two planes in the air because they can land anywhere?
I wouldn't be surprised if IBM picked them up for the Altix line and expertise. I don't think Sun has the sense to do so, and I could see Big Blue using Altix to gain even more of the HPC market.
People who start projects to write a new OS do so for a reason that's less than compelling for the general public. Someone writing a new OS to scratch an itch isn't any reason for me to care about it. If it's something someone's doing to learn, that means nothing to me in terms of running it. If someone's talented enough to innovate something truly novel, wouldn't it make more sense to implement that bit within one of the currently active OS projects? If the idea's got real merit, and can be plugged into the rest of a system that everyone's using (like implementing a new scheduler -- it can be done as a patch to Linux... and if it's really better, it will get noticed and maybe put into the kernel tree).
Going off and starting a new OS seems like a silly waste of resources in most cases.

If slashdotters could have supermodels superimposed on their visual cortex to replace the women they could actually possibly get into bed, then yes, I could see it being quite popular.
With the sale of their PC division to Lenovo, IBM's been in a much less delicate position with Microsoft, not having nearly the same volume of MS software in the low-margin space where sweet deals are really necessary and the difference of a few bucks on a copy of XP means a lot in terms of the ability to turn a profit.
I get the vibe that MS knew that IBM had brought itself into a far stronger position WRT MS, and decided not to put up a fight.
They're not always opened correctly. People may have reverse-engineered the formats to a large extent, but not fully, and MS doesn't publish the specs.
The concept of "follow the money" unfortunately works way too well. Whether it's funding adware asshats or terrorist organizations, in order to cripple the bad guys, cutting off funding works wonders.
(Of course, I'm assuming this is built on Windows DRM.. ah well.. Are they going to be so restrictive as to DRM limit the files to remove all usefullness to the user? No CD burning, coping to devices.. heck.. copying to my iPod? Oh wait, they said that was Apple's fault for not using an *open* format like MS's..)
Well, it is Apple's fault that they're not licensing AAC with DRM out. I love the device, but I'm not happy with Apple's behavior in the music marketplace.
Of course that also means that if mickeymouse.jpg was a picture of Mickey Mouse when you visited the page, and now someone's put kiddie porn in its place, you're on record as having downloaded something that was kiddie porn, if only the "you looked at mickeymouse.jpg" is stored.
I'm curious as to whether or not, if this patent is legitimate, it's likely to lead to lawsuits against the wireless carriers as well as the equipment manuacturers.
Given the 10th Amendment, isn't anything that Congress doesn't cover under the jurisdiction of the states, and specifically not the Federal Government? If so, isn't it in violation of the Constitution for any other Federal agency to butt in?

after releasing fiscal forth quarter results
Forth???
Everyone knows that you need to release your results in Java or C# these days... *sigh*

OMFG, dudex0r!
Alpha is dead, but DECnet lives on.
*sigh*

How about some natural sunlight to make slashdotters move around to different areas of their mothers' basements?
In the consulting and server spaces, there's enough margin to absorb paying what everybody else does. On a $700 desktop, that's not the case.
Yes, they have to have a relationship with Microsoft, but not so much the OEM type.
Well, if it's GPLed or BSD, it's not unrestricted.
Neither really empowers anyone besides those looking to modify it, which is a relatively small user base.
The software Google uses for their search engine is Pro-User, but isn't free as in speech.
You're never going to find a term for it that really fits.
I suppose GPLed software could be Hippie Software. Well, except for the fact that most of the hippies use Macs.

Maybe they'd reintroduce the spyware as Gatesor!
We won't believe it until Netcraft confirms it!
Oh, I thought they just replaced his blood with gin, and left him at a normal temperature.
I thought MS's idea of opening up document formats was to use "industry-standard XML" with restrictive licenses.
Check out "Office 2003 XML Reference Schema Patent License" Hell, the title says it all, doesn't it?

I think that with the nick of 3seas, that perhaps your interests in the failure of solar sails is a little... biased.
You might even be engaging in disinformation to... err... sink the solar sail's prospects.
Reveal thyself, nefarious cad!

Sounds fantastic to me. Of course, plenty of people may miss out on possible deductions, but overall, simplifying compliance is a wonderful thing.
Hooray for simplicity!
