No there is nothing we can get from the agreement.
We already know that MS thinks that Linux is good because of the agreement. If Novell ditches the agreement now then MS takes a blow and we all know that they secretly have a crush on Tux.
Well they are doing it for free and in their spare time so I think they would actually *care* about it. Plus they are generally better than the Broadcom devs because they dont have the chip manual infront of them while they are writing the driver.
It does matter what he did and what he's doing. As the grandparent pointed out: He wasnt jaywalking was he?
Police dont go around punching everyone do they? The guy must have pissed them off a lot to recieve a few punches. If someone is annoying a cop that much then they deserve what they get.
Its a large advantage to ISPs even if the are billed the same amount. It means that they can have more data on their backbone while costing the same amount. The extra capacity means they dont need to expand as rapidly.
Compression? Yeah lets just try compressing a ~750 gigabit fiber link. I'm sure that'll work.
Say you have 200 people in Australia listening to a stream. E.g. di.fm If multicast was implemented then only 1 stream would be sent accross the ocean. Popular streams would save massive amounts of bandwidth.
With Video streaming becoming more popular it will save even more bandwidth.
Counting the number of hosts the packet is going to and multiplying that by the packet size isnt difficult. ISPs can still rip off each other with multicast.
I'm in Australia so Net Neutrality isnt much of a concern and since international bandwidth is scarce ISPs would love to have multicast.
I was under the impression that multicasting required beefier routers (espcially more memory). At the time when the backbones were being created it seemed to be a little pointless but now we are streaming audio and video and now ISPs will want to minimise that traffic.
Since IPv6 requires various upgrades its a good oppotunity to reenable multicast.
She was linked to terrorists and *then* the found the material on her computer.
Do you really think they are doing door to door knocks to find similar material on everyone's computer? They had suspicions before hand which prompted them to investigate further.
I dont think you know exactly why it was locking up.
Most modern distro installers will try to enable DMA. It makes the install process a lot faster. Some hardware doesnt like this (its pretty rare however) which is why if you pass the kernel option nodma (I think thats it. Dont quote me) then it wont try enabling DMA and it'll install fine. Your blaming the kernel developers when you just didnt RTFM.
Most Linux drivers are in the kernel to begin with so unless you have exotic hardware you never need to recompile kernel modules. Microsoft on the other hand has very little drivers built in and generally needs the mobo cd so of course they need to keep it consistant.
72 hours? I'd prefer to be voting on a machine which has been frozen for a month before the elections. Not too hard to do either since the machines are relatively simple.

Possibally yes but nothing will happen if a attack wasnt specifically targetetted at Linux machines.
... blatantly rip off this code and call it our own?
It can be dual licenced.
Yep as long as Gates can use them too.
Well they are doing it for free and in their spare time so I think they would actually *care* about it.

I think I've seen the driver in the list.
Dont quote me. I dont have a Broadcom wireless.
Anyway the flaw wouldnt affect Linux systems. Why? Different kernel.
There is a difference.
These cops were trying to enforce the law but the guy was being very stupid.
I agree.
Would you prefer a homeless guy or a homeless guy with 20,000 yen?
Give the poor guy the money IMHO.
If you cant breathe then you usually have great difficulty talking too.
The police werent going to suffocate him.
I disagree. He is still squirming around with the two police on him.
Also his arms are above his sholders which means cuffing him would be difficult.
It does matter what he did and what he's doing.

Since when did the United States qualify for the title "Modern Society"?
If the US was a modern society then MS wouldnt be getting away with it would they?

Then why are inbound multicasts disabled too?

My only laptop is a Pentium 266. It runs KDE wonderfully.
I run Gentoo on it and for compiling I just Distcc it with my AMD X2 server.
You forgot to mention any research involving robots should get itsatrap too.
I wanna see Novell's reaction when people stop giving them code.
Microsoft will rape them and then they will be excluded by everyone else.
A very quick and messy death for Novell.
They are a bit trickier to deal with but they dont cause global warming so its relatively ok for the near future.
It needs light to work hence it is generally applied to outside surfaces.
The summary is correct. The 30% more is for pavement blocks.

Not too hard to do either since the machines are relatively simple.
Which is exactly the reason why I use a computer which is 3-4 years old. :)
It gives me time to save up and buy something which is truly extraordinary.
