Why is a one signin thing even needed? Why cant you just enter in your information when you _need_ to and for _only_ the company you want to. You know, the thing people have been doing long before Passport existed.
And he thinks having a PATH which is 7k in size is any better? Comeon, things are laid out in/usr/sbin, etc for a reason. We know stuff in/sbin and/bin are required for most systems' operation,/usr/sbin is system management and secure tools (sometimes, I think),/usr/bin for common apps,/usr/local/bin for local binaries, etc.
In theory, I could nfs export/usr/bin,/usr/sbin,/bin,/sbin and let other machines of the same type mount it and have only system specific stuff in/usr/local. Thats some of the intention behind this setup...
Everyone likes to bash RedHat, but how many other tech companies do you see out there which are alive and doing as well as RedHat is? Thats right, almost none.
They know their responsibilities, they know how to provide services and support, while still giving back to the community.
Have you looked at how much RedHat has contributed back? Last time I checked, they host projects like cygwin, gdb, etc and have turned important apps like anaconda and even rpm (as much as people say it sucks, but it is the most popular package manager out there) back into the community.
I seriously doubt apple will act on this... Like you said, someone is blowing this way out of proportion without obviously realizing that Apple is NOT Unisys. Unlike alot of companies, Apple appears to actually care enough about their reputation and corp. appearance to not want to cause a PR disaster (which would happen if they went after the PNG guys).
Don't these business people realize that penny per page wont work?
Everyone will just stop browsing the websites which have this. Maybe, just maybe if all the ISPs in the US stopped charging for access, I might go for this. But otherwise, I pay enough as it is just to enjoy being able to access the internet.
I know for a fact I will never implement something like that on my web servers... It goes against what the internet was created for - free exchange of information in a reliable manner.
Suddenly the gopher protocol looks very appealing again...
Aren't licenses for software commonly open to public viewing on the website and/or package of the product/software anyway? Whats the big deal of showing off the licenses which dont comply?
Point 1. MAPS is optional. If an ISP wants to run it, fine great. If they dont want to run it, thats their choice. Last time I checked, Vixie didn't hold a gun to the heads of every major provider.
Point 2. People bitch and moan about spam. So someone has tried to do something about it. But yet people bitch and moan even more because its not perfect. Nothing is perfect. Either stop complaining or deal with what you are given.
Point 3. I run the SBL (Summit Blocking List @ www.2mbit.com). Its my choice to block spam and who can contact my server. Its the choice of the ISP where I work to block spam, so I used my existing service as part of the mail systems there. The spam we get into our network gets blocked much quicker now, and others can benefit from our lists. Last time I checked, you aren't forced to buy services from me, or use the SBL.
This reminds me of good ol' Internet Frontier (www.internet-frontier.net). They absolutely love to attack me at this point. Hell, I'm proud to be double Skulled. I care enough about my network, my bandwidth, and my systems to want to do something.
If we didn't write sample code and show how to exploit the security hole, Microsoft would never patch things. They only patch holes in a few cases:
#1 If it allows them to 'fix' something else like Quicktime, RealPlayer, or any other competing product
#2 If people make such a big stink that Microsoft has to fix the bug in order to make itself look like its actually doing something (and even then, it has a hidden motive).
#3 If it allows people to bypass their precious ELUA
People forget that Microsoft created the holes in the first place. We wouldnt' have to write sample code to blow holes wide open if they didn't exist!
You know what they say, someone is always going to have a bigger pipe then you. Frankly, doesn't self defense come into play if they try this? If I am an ISP, and they are as so brazen to attack my network, why shouldn't I throw everything I have back at them? One good screw deserves another. I hope they rethink this idea - obviously they dont have anyone on staff that was once an EFNet operator.:)
If they think they can hack my firewall, let them try. If I catch them, they better be ready to have their firewall (if they even have one) put to the test.
After messing with it on several machines, here is what I have found.
* it doesn't work well on a shell server or anything which might have alot of disk activity. The changes seem to do everything at the expense of disk IO and network IO. I do see better speed on interactive stuff though. Its not worth the hit in IO.
* there is no option to turn it off while in operation. Means you have to run different kernels if you want to do some things with the preempt, and other stuff without.
Haven't we learned from the distro wars yet that saying one editor is better then another is asking for trouble?
I've used pico all my UNIX life. Frankly, so does the rest of my staff because its simple, quick, and just works. No fluff, just a text editor which does its job.
Why should we give them the luxury of our way of life and dealing with crimes? You think those bastards thought about the feelings of those people yesterday? To hell with them. We have ever right to seek revenge on this matter. The attack on the US was totally uncalled for, and killed so many people I doubt we will ever know the true number.
I'm usually a logical person on things, but in this case, screw that. You hurt and kill innocent people in such a cowardly way, and I'm gonna do everything in my power to hunt you down and make you pay.
Why fix something that isn't broke? The single mouse button is a blessing. Ever try telling a newbie windows user about the right mouse button? You soon wish you didn't.
From then on, every time you say click the button, you hear
"Do I click with the right or the left mouse button?"
"You click with the left mouse button unless I tell you to click with the right mouse button."
"Ok, so do I click with the left mouse button or the right one?"
From past experence with RedHat dists, they usually fix the major gaping holes in major versions in x.1, with x.2 ironing out the smaller details that were missed in x.1.
At least 6.x went in this fashion (I still find 6.2 to be the most stable and usable dist so far, with 7.1 being the choice for new servers).
XP will block any vendor driver based on the following criteria:
1. How many times they have blamed Microsoft for making things incompatible
2. If they have produced an Open Source driver for their device (we can't have people using evil Open Source operating systems with the devices they paid for!)
3. Modems which came with an AOL CD, or advertisement of any other provider besides MSN
And the list can go on and on... When you look at it in that light, its like blackmail. Microsoft's own (il)legal blackmail.

Maybe if people weren't so lazy...

Once again, slashdot causes panic for no reason.

Crashed 4.78 here twice so far. Lynx refuses to work unless I toy with the user agent.
CmdrTaco
No clue
Less clue in every article.
Lame.

If you are going to blast the damn thing without even owning one, dont freakin post it to the site!
Those quirky gurus/admins/techs are the people who keep things running in most businesses and provide the solutions to problems that noone else can.
I guess that means that the 78 spam messages in my main mailbox this morning is 'just a few'. Comeon, the spamming problem is getting worse and worse.

I say bring it on.

Or smoking crack like CmdrTaco.

Joe is another nice full featured editor too.
Well, you see, if they cared as much about security as the Apache guys do, you wouldn't have this problem in the first place.
Cant remember the last time I really had to rush to patch or upgrade apache... Hell, I still have old 1.2 apache systems up.

Its possible the date got reset if they changed who they get the domain from (ie moved from nsi to core).
The fact that I'm not forced to use AOL makes all the difference. Windows on the other hand... I wont even go there...
Or better yet question:
"Can CmdrTaco spell check his postings before making stupid errors?"
Flame away!

Frustration levels rise....
Why fix something thats not broke? Frankly, I have yet to find another search engine which gives me the results I want.
