While not a fix-all, squid can alleviate most all of the headaches involved with v6 v4 communication when it comes to HTTP (also known as "the internet" by the masses).
Squid is v4 and v6 aware, which means if you have an IPv6 host using squid, it can talk to an IPv4 host. If you have an IPv4 host, it can now talk to an IPv6 host as well. The only downside here is that it requires configuration of the proxy in the browser directly, you can't (easily, without DNS spoofing) transparently proxy all requests. Fortunately, this is generally not an issue for any business with a competent network admin staff.
Considering how many networks already deploy squid..
You're looking for another tool to add functionality to your window manager, when in reality that's your problem. Either patch the window manager to add this or switch to a remotely modern (or featured, or whatever) window manager.
I've used KDE for years and it has very advanced keybinds to move windows pretty much anywhere. I can resize and move windows with just my keyboard. It has had this functionality much longer than windows ever had. Your only problem is the window manager. Linux isn't lacking in these power tools, you just aren't using them.
Not that you're incorrect, but I should point out something here. Valve has a publisher/distributor. EA. They are responsible for all of their boxed/physical copies.
It is also EA that is tossing up a $25 million USD marketing campaign for Left4Dead 2.
There are ups and downs to the whole publisher/distributor option.
No. The only files that Blizzard ever "shares" are patches, which are tied to an independent executable. For every patch, there is a new executable, with a matching name for the patch, displaying that file name in multiple places. For example, "WoW-0.3.0.10522-enUS-ptr-patch.exe" is the patch and "WoW-0.3.0.10522-enUS-ptr-downloader.exe" is the downloader for that patch. I would believe that qualifies as "Informing the P2P User" but IANAL. After all, the most they ever "share" is a single file at a time and which file that is... should be pretty obvious.
They don't use a P2P program to update Warden, they primarily update it via the launcher and/or at client connection time. They have pushed a warden update via their patching process once, but the EULA and ToU that you agreed to state that they are allowed to do so.
Second, Warden shares nothing with Blizzard aside from a single byte: is this user currently running blacklisted software, or not. People get their panties in a twist because it read (..and then hashed, and the compared hashes..) window titles at one point in time, but it never actually sent that data back to Blizzard - the most that was (and is) ever sent is essentially a "are you guilty" bit.
If you're going to label HP based on your experiences with their color, laser printers, then that is a little broad. Their B&W laser printers are a thing to behold.
Color will always run out infinitely more quickly and cost you a fortune more.
Second, piles of vendors chip their toner cartridges and lock them after one "usage" - that is by no means HP specific.
Third, HP may obsolete consumer-level printers pretty frequently, but they have a common stock of different toner cartridges that work in many of their machines.
I'm not on HP's payroll, but I have administered piles of HP laser printers in small business that routinely pushed out 400-700 pages per day per printer and are still going strong after a decade. They have been serviced a few times, but they have withstood the test of time and simply keep on going.
And as that search shows, they also sell copies for the 360, which is definitely not steam. Plus, something tells me that most game companies don't like pissing off an entire national gov't. Just a thought though.
It may seem to imply that, but that isn't the goal. The goal of that comic is to show the difference between linux gurus who can rebuild their kernel six times a day and get it right every time, and "your average XP --> Ubuntu switcher."
I'm a guy who took gentoo and rebuilt it in my home directory about fifty times with a set of scripts I developed, getting smaller and more specific every time until I could write it to a CF card and drop it in my embedded router that runs at 33MHz, and still run/startup faster than your average home router.
I have a friend who uses Kubuntu (which really is a terrible KDE distro) who is definitely more adept in linux than your average switcher, but he doesn't spend his time memorizing internals or rebuilding kernels either.
To me, I can see that comic and go "neat, that's a lot of CPUs" along with pegging Adobe for being a problem: "yeah, adobe sucks at cross platform." My friend goes "neat, that's a lot of CPUs" and "yeah linux is terrible in that area."
Both pairs of statements are true. (And don't call me on the technicality that "linux is terrible in that area." Quit being hyperliteral; that's my entire point!)
Emphasis web *browsing* - if you're locked to a subset of one site, you can't do a whole lot of browsing. The browser effectively turns into a sandboxed application, which is what the banks here want.
Yes, and yes. It is the same system used to automatically download... an i386 binary as compared to an x86_64 binary. If your question was really "does Ubuntu even build for ARM" I have no idea, as I don't use Ubuntu anywhere.
Flash and Adobe Reader are both pretty terrible programs; infinitely more so when you move off of the holy consumer shrine known as Windows/x86. There is the gnash project (flash player), which can currently play youtube videos. There are also about a billion different PDF readers for linux.
No you won't get the same level of app support of Windows/x86. You get less support if you run Windows/x86_64. You get even less support when you run linux/x86, less when you run linux/x86_64, and then you take multiple steps back for linux/arm.
... for most closed source software. Most packages found in $DISTRO's repository will build fine under any arch - for example, Fedora builds the same RPM for i686, amd64, and PPC. There would be bugs to work out, sure, but it is possible. Quit your binary blob/app support fetish and your linux will work a bit better.
If you're tied to your binary blobs or windows solutions (for ANY reason), you can either just keep using windows or improve the situation yourself, your call.
That's no reason to toss it on something like a resume, which is designed to be shuffled around like the cheap paper it was printed on. Sure, some companies shred resumes when they're done, but considering the sheer amount of private information that can be found dumpster diving is impressive....
I don't put my address, date of birth, or SSN even on my resume. Just because these types of things is needed information at the end of the day doesn't mean that they need to be put on something as obviously public as a resume.
The change from v4 that you're thinking of is IPSEC being a first class citizen to the protocol, as opposed to a backported second class citizen in the networking world.
There is no need to disable updates, I don't think. All of the updates that I've seen on the centos-announce mailing list come from two people, and I believe those are the people with the GPG keys on the packages, too.
If Lance is still around, it is safe to say that he has had all of his access removed. If he has both access to the repositories and the GPG keys, I'd worry (assuming his intent is malicious, which I somewhat doubt would be the case) -- but until the current developers who rebuild/push the updates advise that we kill updates, I definitely will not be doing so. A great example was the BIND vulnerability a day or two ago.
Seriously, if you are a centos administrator, you should do a couple things:
It is safe to say that the existing developers will use it if they have a huge need to communicate an apocalypse situation where it would be wise to stop updating.
I'm just hoping that CentOS pushes out the update before 10:00 PM MST today.
Why?
So I'll get my daily e-mail status update, telling me to do just that: run yum, and then restart (just bind) -- as opposed to seeing it tomorrow.
As a footnote, it is generally a good thing to subscribe to whichever vendor's security-announce list that you use. It is really nice getting e-mail notifications of security-related package updates. CentOS has one, right here: http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce
A friend (an Opera fan) of mine found that some time ago, and promptly informed me (died of laughter) that because anyone can sit down and get his passwords, Firefox was of questionable quality ('it sucks').
I then pointed out the whole Edit --> Preferences (for windows, Tools --> Options) --> Security --> "Use a master password" checkbox. When using this, the passwords it stores are properly encrypted and cannot be used by anything without providing a password you select. Not by a website, not by the saved password manager.
Not that I'd expect anyone who didn't know what this was to go digging through the options under the security section anyway, but it should be mentioned.
The thing is, it is amazingly easy to extract the hydro from the aceta, mostly due to properties of the hydro. Anyone who actively abuses the hydro with the aceta is amazingly stupid.
On the flip side, keeping such a potent side effect intact would indeed lower the chances of people taking it as needed/regulated, for pain, from becoming addicted.
But I can hope for something that would suck less, can't I?
My prescription is 7.5mg hydrocodone, 500mg acetaminophen (standard - though there are a few variations on the amount of hydrocodone). The FDA has enforced that amount of acetaminophen, for two reasons. Hydrocodone is relatively addictive, and acetaminophen often induces a huge amount of nausea. This acts as a deterrent for anyone trying to "get high" off of the hydrocodone. Second, acetaminophen is a pretty decent pain killer, which hey, if you're taking lortab, that is the whole point.
My problem is the raw nausea induced. It's not uncommon for me to need to take one, and then develop a severe stomach, erm, 'problem' to the point where I can't do anything until a couple minutes after I've emptied my stomach into the nearby toilet. That is solely a side effect of the acetaminophen.
The "hey my liver is going to live" is a bonus effect from the removal of acetaminophen as far as I'm concerned.
The problem of course - is what they'd replace the acetaminophen with, should they want to continue shipping lortab (and friends). I somehow doubt it'd be any better in terms of side effects.
Hulu actually already has this, in the browser. During an ad, if you mouse over the playing video, two icons will appear on the left hand side.
A thumbs up, and a thumbs down.
While they don't let you skip or tag, I think you get the idea. They could absolutely renovate and add more feedback options to end users, but this basic "I like it" vs. "I don't like it" has been around for quite a while.

I'm quite sure that Redhat's "support" model is designed to frustrate and confuse.
You pay per server per year. That's not exactly confusing. Frustrating only in the sense that... you have to pay for it.

No they're not. They're selling you binary packages and the ability to call them up at 2:30 AM to get your issues fixed. If you want your code, it is right there for you to download without issue.
They can smugly tell me "see, software isn't free?" and feel much more comfortable signing cheques for $1500/year.
The software is free. If they don't understand what they're purchasing, that's their problem, and only yours if you decide to make it your problem.

They sell boxed copies as well. A search on gamestop.com shows this.

Erm, there is no mandatory encryption with IPv6.
The change from v4 that you're thinking of is IPSEC being a first class citizen to the protocol, as opposed to a backported second class citizen in the networking world.
Not that it doesn't work fine with v4, mind you.
