Are you saying that you're routinely visited by guys to check if you have a TV license?!? For air broadcast?!?!?!? What's the difference between that and inspecting your computer to check if you have illegal stuff in it? What kind of law allows that?!? In my country you need a judge to order it. Nobody can enter your house if you do not give your permission (or have a judge order to do so).
The driver layer argument is the stupidest comment *ever*. Most of the unstability and lack of reliabity in Windows (on desktop stuff, not speaking about professional servers) is due to poor driver design and a faulty driver hook in Windows kernel. Microsoft would need *eons* to get that brutally-melted ms-linux bastard running reliabily.
Lack of drivers in Linux is indeed a problem, but it's not a huge one, specially in the last two years. If Microsoft would want to kill linux that way, they only had to make their own distro.
so who the fuck is guilty then? You're being shot in the head because you shot in the head of some bastard, some bastard acts like a bastard because... go accept yor freakin responsability!
thing is that you are transcoding it again, from one lossy audio compression scheme to another. That method is only more convenient, but you're still losing quality.

Usually, speaking about normal Linux distros (dunno about solaris), the installation CDs are signed, as well as the packages themselves (the package manager usually checks the signature when you try to install'em).
I find highly improbable to fake a whole installation CD this way... and you can always double-hash the thing using SHA and MD5, for example. You could possibly fake SHA-1 alone, maybe MD5, but both at the same time... Anyways, I am not a crypto-guy, so I'm probably wrong after all:)
True, man, KMail has been processing (eg spamassassin) my mail for at least one hour...

.... This is a problem for digital signatures, because somebody can sign one data stream, then distribute another with the same signature...
True, man. Don't forget that in some circumstances the faked data stream must also have any sense. I mean, imagine that you try to fake a Solaris distribution, you should fake it to do something. You should try to fake Solaris to do bad things for you while it maintains the same hash as the original disc... dunno a thing about probs and stats but I think that the probability to do something like that could be astronomically low.
but... aren't you scaried about that thingie called KERBEROS? I mean, imagine that you ecounter some guy called PANTOCRATOR on a dark back alley or something...
Slashdot Mirror
sure, because any other free resource on the internet is more trustworthy than the wipiedia you mean?
Yes, because a new unit with the old screen wouldn't make much sense...
Are you one of these guys that usually recite their own comings and goings instantly?
...
I was reading slashdot when I saw a comment that brought to me a funny idea
... it was running on the engine of the VW itself...
What's a girl?

LOL this is the funniest post ever at /. !!!
Yeah but... does it run linux?
...could it be able to dance the Company Hymn?
Sure, I tried to apply for a Java programmer job in 1999 but I couldn't fit on any profile, they asked for 5+ years of experience... d'oh!

In the mean time, you can wordkaround it.

Yeah, and IEize Firefox with FirefoxIE. They won't notice at all they're not in IE.
Yeah, you're right :D. This also downs the credibility of Skype to the ground.
Gimme power!!!
