I don't know how much penetration Debian has in the enterprise, but if someone stepped up to provide paid Debian support, I think they could make a lot of money
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I saw it this past week. I was leaving work and turned north out of the parking lot and it was shooting across the sky to the west. It was very green. I remember that much. If this thing landed in Canada then it must have been huge for me to see it from California.
Why do you care so much ? From the Apache manual: "At this time no web browsers support RFC 2817."
That is the RFC for StartTLS which is something different. I'm talking about SNI which is already supported in Firefox 2, Opera 8, and IE 7. It is also in Apache 2.2.8 and OpenSSL 0.9.8f.
Who is watching the children while the rest of the world goes to work?
I'd say that's a good question since the person I was responding to was talking about letting children walk to school. Who lets kids walk to school by themselves?
If you have children then that is your problem. It's up to you to make sure your schedule with work and your children works well for you. The rest of the populace shouldn't have to carry your burden.
Creative Labs has decided to release their binary Linux driver for the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi and X-Fi Titanium sound cards under the GPL license.
What purpose is served by releasing a binary under the GPL? Shouldn't they release the source under that license?
That really was a horrible example, someone want a car analogy?
Sure. It's like getting caught driving drunk in the US. They'll give you a fine, even though you are putting the lives of all around you at risk. They might even throw you in jail for the evening until you sober up. When you finally end up killing someone because of your drunk driving, the government might maybe, begrudgingly, take your license away.
The article is short on details. How will they know that the downloader didn't have permission to download the copyrighted work? There are movies, music, and video games that are copyrighted but freely available. Does French law require that copyrighted works be paid for rather than distributed at no charge?
People often compare a clean windows install to a clean linux install, forgetting that a clean linux install is a fully usable system that's ready to go, while a clean windows install is largely useless until you install a significant number of third party apps.
People also forget that with a clean install of Windows, I can install any third party app I want, including easily installing older versions of software. That older software won't be automatically upgraded to newer versions that I may not want like they are in Ubuntu, and all without having to venture into the advanced system administration issues of apt sources, apt pinning, missing dependencies, etc.
The problem with DPM (and other VMware tools) is that they won't let you move a physical box between ESX clusters. If you have multiple ESX clusters, the physical machine stays with it - powered up or not.
This is actually a good thing. There may be business reasons for having that isolation. We have separate clusters in our ESX setup for regular servers and for Oracle servers. When you run Oracle on a VM, Oracle charges you for the number of CPUs within the cluster that your VMs could move to. If I create a cluster of four ESX hosts then I only have to pay for licenses for the CPUs on those hosts. I can ensure that those virtual machines, while being able to move around between hosts in the cluster, will never move to the ESX hosts in other clusters. Let's say I have eight other ESX hosts that are in another cluster. If the Oracle virtual machines had the ability to cross the cluster boundaries then the business would need to purchase licenses for the CPUs in the eight other machines.
There may also be technical reasons for not wanting to move between clusters. The cluster might have different high availability and DRS rules. The servers in one cluster might have a different configuration than the others, such as more or less memory, different CPUs, different VLAN configs, different switch uplinks, separate fiber channel zoning, etc.

I find this stuff fascinating. Oliver Sacks, who has researched this condition, wrote a lengthy article about Clive Wearing, who is another person with the same condition as H.M.
Only if you consider being an asshole to be cool.
HP provides support for Debian and has for quite some time now.
Then I probably saw a different meteor altogether. It was still stunning!

Do the versions of Apache and OpenSSL support SNI so we can have virtual hosts with SSL?
Slashdot is edited?!

Then adjust the start time for school rather than have everyone else adjust clock time to accommodate a few children.
Oh noes! China is gonna brick the intarwebs!
Use Wine, of course.

Shows the matches in a different color if you have GNU grep.
What does that have to do with a container format which is what the thread you are responding to is talking about?
Thanks for the followup information. That is excellent news and will go a long way to make this an easy alternative for non-technical users.
Only for certain definitions of easy. Let me know when you have a point and click version that my non technical friends can use.

They're still waiting on those Gentoo desktops to compile. They'll be ready for deployment "any day now!"

See my post here for a few reasons.

Why don't you listen Stallman talk about this in his own words. He starts talking about operating systems including non-free programs at 20:30 and BSD specifically at 22:01.
