Stupid, stupid, stupid...Free Software people will keep grumbling as long as we aren't building everything from a completely "Free as in Free-as-long-as-you-play-by-OUR-rules" standpoint. And what the hell is that about Linus, he rolled his own solution because he needed to do more than any of the available FOSS solutions could, but what bearing that has on OOo is beyond me....
This is nonsense, there are some reasons, most highly contentious, not to rely heavily on Java but this argument isn't one of them...
I can see a use for running Darwin only on Mac hardware in a server farm environment where the GUI gets in the way although Apple has done a good job to only have stuff eating processor time when it is actually doing something. If I were going to build a hosting platform on Apple hardware but would be using SSH and other such administration systems I would dump OS X and go for Darwin on its own just to reduce clutter and free up some resources.
In regards to point one: republicans no longer stand for smaller government, and that is woefully become apparent. The rise of neoconservatism has destroyed this basic tenet of the GOP. Because of this I have begun urging my like minded paleoconservative and constitutionalist friends to jump ship for the Constitution Party, but that is a difficult jump due to all the 'waisting your vote' crap that people throw around about 3rd parties. Also, the Constitution Party's decidedly Christian stance on morality is troubling to many Secularists and non-Christians even though they do not advocate the dictation of morality at a national level but merely support states in deciding what is abhorrent behavior in the social context.
It's too bad the republicans no longer stand for smaller government, truly the gap between the two parties is shrinking and will soon be gone.
As fast as they are fixed, which in reality ends up being comparable to Linux, just listen on the appropriate mailing lists and follow the step-by step instructions. There are also some automated utilities in the ports collection that ease security updates. The BSD ports system will take care of most of your packaging concerns as well since it is an actively updated collection, although most require compilation from source there is the binary alternative, package, which should be easy enough for most RPM folk I would imagine.
I say this because I just hit the site in Safari and the zip package was downloaded but only sits quietly on my desktop waiting for me to delete it. Why? Because under Safari > Preferences > General I have the stupid 'Open "safe" files automatically' unchecked. This keeps any autoinstallation from occurring, too bad Apple didn't change the new version of Safari to stop using that "safe" file lingo which is incredibly confusing to stupid people who don't read the caveat below or know anything about their computer.
Ping is an application, not a script. Applications can still be SETUID but scripts cannot. Not being able to run applications SETUID would cause loads of hassles I suspect. But not being able to run scripts SETUID just keeps lazy scripters from doing stupid things that could compromise their systems.
Flash is not open, Macromedia (for-profit venture) controls the format...SVG however is controlled by the W3C (not-for-profit venture)...the W3C isn't infallible but at least they represent a larger body of interests than that of a single company.
Finally someone else who doesn't see this as such an awfully bad thing. As a big fan of the Adobe product suite I am excited to see how the two codebases might be merged to produce better products for me as a designer. I am especially curious how Adobe's efforts in regards to SVG might tie in with the Flash product.
But since these are two proprietary software companies and most slashdot folks seem to be somewhat biased in certain regards:
When was the last time Microsoft added new features as part of a service pack they released? Windows service packs typically include fixes of issues and maybe make features work the way they should have in the first place. The way this guy at the end of his article tries to say Tiger is just a glorified service pack is absolutely idiotic. Tiger does a lot more than make old features work right or fix bugs from old versions.
Core Data has the potential to be a huge aid in development, especially if it is as easy to switch between XML and Binary as Apple claims. I'm also looking forward to tweaking some of my existing apps to use it. One question that I haven't got an answer to though. Will there be anyway to backport the functionality, any ADC Premeirs out there know if Core Data's.framework will be embedable and able to be targeted to pre 10.4 versions of OS X?
In my area school starts so early that they are already going to school in the dark. And even when it's bright and sunny out kids and other people still get hit by cars. Of course if traffic laws were more enforced and people driving a bit more cautious much of that could be alleviated.
... condition 1.(d) where the top two effectively lock-out anyone else from being heard in the debate forum. Too bad we don't have a more open and less commercial political system.
The rule is not restricting use of the spectrum directly. It is prohibiting use of a particular class of device, the actual access point devices, within the scope of a voluntary contractual agreement. The 'hot plate' analogy presented by a previous poster is very accurate. The rules say you are not permitted to operate the following devices inside your dormitory, hot-plates, wireless access points, interplexing beacons, etc...They are not restricing use of the frequencies directly, since they are possibly allowing use of microwave ovens; but only in an indirect manner.

If so, YIPEE...if not, ok...

Here is the problem with your issue:
The rule is not restricting use of the spectrum directly. It is prohibiting use of a particular class of device, the actual access point devices, within the scope of a voluntary contractual agreement. The 'hot plate' analogy presented by a previous poster is very accurate. The rules say you are not permitted to operate the following devices inside your dormitory, hot-plates, wireless access points, interplexing beacons, etc...They are not restricing use of the frequencies directly, since they are possibly allowing use of microwave ovens; but only in an indirect manner.
