I got 5.x a few months back, and upgraded all the way to 5.66 (which i'm happy with). I wasn't too impressed that even though I'd only had 5.x for a few months, there was no upgrade path to 6 (gotta pay full price) - so it's the only reason I keep Win98 around. when 6 gets released on linux, i'll be buying it and trashing my 98 install.
go petru! go austin!

so the copied the idea, so what ? immitation is the sincerest form of flattery
When I buy any album, it's usually for 1 or 2 good tracks, which get copied to MD so i can listen to what i like. Does this scheme prevent me from doing that ?
One way to look at using crypto is that you don't send postcards discussing private matters, you put a letter in an envelope so the postman can't read it.
I encrypt my email so only the recepient can read it - if the security services here in the UK want to read my email, they will use the RIP bill to get the private key and passphrase from me. At least then I'll know they are interested in me;)
a translation to british english please

you lot really butchered the language.
here's a few of your changes to the Queens English I do understand (we get a LOT of your TV 'shows' over here).
the right word is on the right side;-)
color == colour
sidewalk == pavement
shop == workshop
mall == shoping centre
football == rugby (with body armor)
soccer == football
you type in a URL and your web browser queries your ISP DNS for www.theregister.co.uk.
It doesn't know the IP addr, and so asks the DNS root for the address of the.uk server.
This server does know about everything *.uk, and can answer the query for the IP address of www.theregister.co.uk.
If theregister.co.uk ran it's own DNS, your browser would ultimately have to query that DNS for the IP address of www.theregister.co.uk (as happens in large organizations)
As the article says, if the ccTLD data for enough popular countries moved, ISP's in those countries would have to change DNS root settings, to correctly resolve these domains.
These registrars could then do cool things like create new TLD's which the alternative DNS root knew about.
ICANN probably wouldn't like that and would keep their root server as-is, so users accessing ICANN's servers wouldn't see the new TLD's
the 'new DNS root' could reference ICANN's existing gTLD's, so non US users could access.com,.org, etc.
What would ultimately happen is that because the 'new DNS root' is effectively a superset of ICANN, US ISPs would ditch ICANN's root server.
Code can be signed by anyone - the point is you can configure the OS to only run signed code.
Then it becomes a case of who do YOU, the user trust - just because code is signed, doesn't mean it won't do anything naughty (like trash your disk). It just means you're trusting someone not to.
Unix could benifit from this - when you 'su -' to do that 'make install' how many of you read the Makefile to see what it's gonna do first?

You'd think their dirty tricks dept. would have been a bit smarter than to get caught like that.... oops...
Just because the license isn't as open as the GPL doesn't affect me (and many others) - I get the source, build it and install it.

At the moment it works something like this:

no more ICANN.

switch to newsforge.com - it's just like slashdot, also brought to you by VA, but filters the crap.
Didn't wired also say that interactive movies, push content and Iridium were 'the next big thing'. Look where they are now.
I thought the USAF were busy back engineering this stuff out in some desert somewere. must be hard, they've been at it for 40+ years.
I suppose that depends on what you want to use a computer for - i use mine for web browsing, word processing and playing games.
If you can plug a printer, mouse & keyboard into a PS2 then i'll consider it for my next upgrade.
You don't know much then...
