Who is going to make all the web applications for firefox? I work for a small web developer(under 20 people). We use firefox to build the initial version of the website. webdeveloper, inspect element, gotta love them. But we do *not* upgrade our desktops willy nilly. We don't have any mandated corporate policy. It's just common sense not to upgrade at the whim of some external entity(mozilla, I'm looking at you), when we all have different projects all being worked on in parallel.
I might be personally working on 3 jobs at once. A coworker could also be working with me on one of my jobs, but then have others that I am not involved with. We won't upgrade until we have a lull in the work load. And that will *not* be right after a new release.
Yes, the linux kernel has a fast cycle. But even they have stable versions that they maintain. You can *not* go to a fast cycle without having long term stable branches. Whoever(single person or group) made that decsision(I'm sorry if this is abrasive(actually, no, I'm not)), was a moron.
This is really rather simple. Let's say you have a number, X. What comes before X? X-1. And what comes before that? X-2.
So, now with that out of the way, let's say you want to iterate all numbers. Most sane people would start at either the beginning(low value) or the end(high value). And probably most would start at the beginning.
When walking the list of things to run, a simple scheduler would act on the first thing it finds. This means that something that existed lower in this list would be run more often than something that existed later. So, that means that lower priority number actually means run more often.
What a useless use of even more bandwidth. Instead of trolling for emails, and/or letting other people insert their own email, so spammers can get it, it would be much more useful for everyone if a torrent was posted.
BitTorrent was designed for this sort of thing. Email was not.
One strategy I liked with Command And Conquer 2: Red Alert, was being an ally, with a chronosphere. I'd build a MCV, have the chronoshift ready to go, have a tonya almost fully built, and have a barracks almost fully built. The tactic was better performed if you have lots of construction yards as well.
You'd start by sending your main force towards your chosen target. The enemy would see this huge force coming, and would naturally go out to stop you. At this point, you would chronoshift your MCV into the middle of their base, deploy your barracks, then release your tonya. She'd go about demolishing buildings, and the enemy would be crippled. All this, will little cost(you could now withdraw your main force).
I then read about a variation of this tactic in a magazine years later. I got a chuckle, when I realized it was the same one I had first sprung on an unsuspecting foe, who called me a cheater when I did it.:)
Visit www.rlxtechnologies.com. They have a density of 8 computers per 1U of space(it's actually 24/3U). On each system, you get a transmeta cpu/633mhz. 128m - 512m. 2 drives(can be shipped with 10 or 30g). 3 nics(altho, one nic on each system is connected internally).
The entire chassis of 24 blades runs off a single 450W power supply. However, there is a second power supply, for redundancy. In testing, we have even turned off the fans, with no harm done. The cpu heatsinks are quite touchable.
Note: I contracted at RLX, and have actually worked with the hardware. It's great stuff.
I talked to the guy after he was done using the hardware. My mouth dropped.
TBH, I am a contractor at RLX, so my opinions may be biased. I also work on the Debian-based default linux stack.
There's just one more thing I will say about this product. -- Bring a clean pair of underwear, because you are going to soil the ones you currently are wearing when you see this thing in action.
installing a kernel-image.deb does not change lilo.conf. It does update the/vmlinuz and/vmlinuz.old symlinks, which is why I modify my lilo.conf to use/boot/vmlinux-x.x.x directly.
This comparison should have been between an ip address and a phone number. You don't look up entries in a phone book by number, but by name, and you DO own your name.
A site my company hosts is going to be going down from 6pm CST, Dec. 31(00:00 GMT, Jan. 1) until Sunday, 2pm CST. The company we host this for has requested that we take it down, not due to Y2K issues, but due to hackers trying to exploit servers due to Y2K issues.
We run linux(duh), with apache and postgres. I personally have no qualms about the machine staying up, and I am not afraid of the server succomming to backdoors. But I don't pay the bills.:|
To turn it off, all we are going to do is ifconfig down the alias for their server. The machine will still stay up, running just the same as always.
I have made debs for netscape 4.7 available. I won't be putting these in potato, until fortify can recognize them.
The good news, is that my dual-celeron 333, running netscape, and rendering fm, is as fast as a p120-nt box, running IE. Before, it was 1/3 as slow.
Click here for information on how to use apt to fetch the new debs.
This should be in the SPAM category, not Red Hate.

I don't know about you, but I, as a 'open source'(ick, I hate that name) developer do NOT have the kind of money to throw around that one needs to open an account with etrade.
Btw, they mailed MOST @debian.org addresses. I know of one person who did NOT get an email, because he doesn't maintain any packages. However, he wrote apt, so,....

Don't you mean you had to write 50k lines of code, backwards, and upside down?

We can own atoms, eh? Then your data is traveling around the world using electrons from my atoms. Give my electrons back, or start paying me a fee!
E.T. farted.
Maybe someone, living on a certain moon of Endor, might be appropriate to mention here.

Anyone have a cache of this? The site has been /.
Hmm. This sounds an awful lot like the multitude of Windows Virus. It *DESTROYS* Windows! Just wait until McAffee detects it.
