Not such a comforting thought, but still being communist country doesn't excuse violation of GPL agreement. If Chinese government wants to spread its own OS with shaddy backdoor code, that's fine with me, but FOSS or GNU/Linux in GPL state explicitly forbids what Red Flag is doing with Open Source codes and Linux kernel.
That's Beta version and I don't know what's going on with their ISO download from some random IP address and domains. Doesn't look legit and looks very VERY GPL violation.
Since the stable 4.1 is the latest, can you find source packages for those? I doubt it.
Now, I'm pretty certain, Red Flag linux has violated GPL agreement for sure. (I just read the GPL).
NewtonOS? C'mon, this fetish needs to stop. It's like watching Bryant Gumble looking at the donut stand. NewtonOS making news, it's all good, but a Technology ComeBack? That's pathetic.
Any distro putting ISO without source package is just that in my book, RED FLAG. Their FTP/HTTP server doesn't allow anyone to download individual source package. Since ISO files are probably just install disk with binary, I was looking for source package ISO, but no such luck.
I believe distribution without source is actually breaking the GPL agreement. If anyone can prove me wrong on it, let me know.
Either you are really funny in some twisted way or you are forgetting many factual evidence. Open Source/FOSS doesn't mean political statement or Stallman's crusade. It means, what it says it means, Free and Open Source and nothing else.
Lets turn the table around and look at this from so called "Chinamen's" point of view. 2 Billions of them using Open Source software and even fraction of them start developing and contributing to Open Source projects which does not follow any of political views of the Republic of China and her governing body, what does it matter? Will you be more forgiving if an American developer is a closet-case child molester, racist, communist? Will you forbid that individual to stop using FOSS software or even develop Open Source project?
Can we start packing ntfs-module and megp3/4 codecs on default FC distro now or at least in EXTRA??? Surely yum repo and other package source and original source compile is easy, but for heaven's sake, when will FC ever include packages based on community demand and not RH guideline?
We can build a gigantic heat sink pipe from earth to space (or close to outter atmosphere) and use the gradient cycle to power the generator! By doing this, we can kill 2 birds with one stone! Rid of excess heat from earth (global warming no more!) and storing electrical power from doing so!
Yeah!
Sure, from outter space, the Earth might look like it just had a morning boner, but we can post up a sign and say "C'mon, the Moon!"
"He arranged a Denial of Service attack" No. He merely passed out an information which exposes vulnerability of School's current shitty web service and gave suggestion on how to DDoS. That's far from planning it out with intention to do harm beyond reasonable doubt. Being a prick isn't yet a crime under our Constitution.
Further more the article states;
"The incident occurred Dec. 2. Using a school computer, Stone created a blog on a Web site that encouraged others to use a link to another site. Once at the second site, Stone told users to "hold down F5 to help crash my school server," according to police reports."
I can post a blog that states "This is how you can clog up toilet. Flood bathroom with shit by clogging up my school's toilet." Am I making you follow my instruction? Am I suggesting that I will carry out the act and flood bathroom with shit? Exactly what criminal act has been committed here???? The crime of SUGGESTION? We suggest to nuke countries all the time, but does that make us MURDERERS?
Since when did free thinking and expression become crime?
"Think of his "fellow students" as zombies and him as a script kiddie, then pretend you're the admin or legit user of this site."
You are mistaken, if not, you do not understand the concept of being a zombie. Zombiebots follow orders as author "MAKES" it to do. There is no one "making" these F5 key hitters to do anything. It's a fucking BLOG for god's sake!
"This is akin to willfull destruction of property and saying he's only guilt of refreshing a browser is like saying a car thief is only guilt of moving your car."
Again, you are not able to distinguish the difference here. Lets just say, I envy my neighbor's yard and I have ill will against his greener pasture and wish his grass to be burned, I am a prick and an asshole, BUT NOT A CRIMINAL. So I give a suggestion to my other friends around my neighborhood that I wish his yard be burned and suggest method to burn grass. Now, bunch of half baked neighbors carried out the act. Why the fuck am I being charged for instead of those who actually carried out the suggestion?
"I wish, I can plant a road side bomb on a street of Bagdad. Someone do so as I wish." WOW, next time when I see the news of people dead in Iraq because of road side bomb, I will be charged with treason, murder, and terrorism. Is that your logic? Tell me it ain't so, because I don't want to go do jail!
If you do not wear gloves and mask when you go to voting booth, you shouldn't worry about cookies. If you drive on a highway with license plate and untinted window, you shouldn't worry about cookies. If you send out your personal information to IRS about your income, you shouldn't worry about cookies. If you give out your social security number for governement grant and loan, you shouldn't worry about cookies. If you do not hide your face and walk the other way when police is near by, you shouldn't worry about cookies. If you are willing to enable JavaScript and Java and cookies from 3rd party domain just so you can download some porn off internet, you really shouldn't be worrying about cookies.
Matter of fact, unless your definition of "home alone" involves underground bunker in secluded mountain side or an island, you shouldn't worry about cookies.
"The way I would see this as being fair is if an absolute minimum install was done on Linux - stage1 through stage3 of Gentoo and only that, or a Deb basic, or Slack or what have you - and then compare. On a fairly similar amount of programs."
Respectfully I beg to differ. While it's true that Windows default install does come with pretty betty programs and service attached softwares, OSS distributed softwares in linux distros such as Gentoo, Deb, Slack does not have same authoritive control over the source and/or how they are being developed.
If truely US-CERT wanted to be fair, it's only logical to seperate the GNU/Linux and UNIX variants related specific kernel vuls and NOT bunch them together like some kind of bastard child in comparison against silver spoon fed brat.
For instance, IE exploit vs Firefox exploit. While IE can only exist (without wine) in Windows environment, Firefox exists in serveral platform. So is it fair to include/exclude Firefox exploit only on GNU/Linux and not Windows?
Also is it fair that same vuls exists in Cygwin packages which can be found in GNU/Linux and UNIX variants not be included in Windows vuls list?

"...should be ready to build their first full prototype 2-3 years from now"
Ok, so someone thought of this back in 1800's by some French dude with no regards to the impact on environment or the ocean ecology. Now in year 2006, 3rd generation spawns off the old idea as alternative energy source?
Do I hear "Steam Power"?
I never welcomed back the 70's, and hell I will welcome some crazy nut job idea involving plumbing the ocean's gradient. I rather drill a hole into Earth's core in a middle of the Ocean so that I can boil my egg.
If GNU/Linux with 3rd party software bugs be counted as whole Linux/Unix bug, then cygwin with same 3rd party softwares on Windows should be counted as "Windows bug" + "Linux/Unix bug".
Therefore Windows should carry over its own bugs and Linux/Unix bugs. It's not only logical, but it's factual.
To me it seems, US-CERT just collected data and published junk stat. Perhaps it's time for US-CERT to raise the bar a bit more than half critical thinking skill level of a baboon for employee/employer.
"7. Baboons can tell the difference between English and French. Zoo keepers at Port Lympne wild animal park in Kent are having to learn French to communicate with the baboons which had been transferred from Paris zoo."
We all knew French and baboons share same ancestry.

"Cartosat-1 can capture details spanning 2.5 meters (8.20 feet) on the Earth and will be followed in 2006 by the launch of Cartosat-2 with a spatial resolution of about 1 meter (3.28 feet)."
India spent millions of dollar implementing remote sensing by launching a satellite to watch over natural disasters and environmental changes, obviously those Tsunami is so small, you need 1 meter spatial resolution to detect its occurance.
Who should be worrying about who's watching who here???

For example, I think, it could be useful on study of cryogenics or suspended animation of living organism.
We can do it!
We can build a gigantic heat sink pipe from earth to space (or close to outter atmosphere) and use the gradient cycle to power the generator! By doing this, we can kill 2 birds with one stone! Rid of excess heat from earth (global warming no more!) and storing electrical power from doing so!
