You are missing the point. If articles had to represent some demographic then we'd all be reading articles about IE and Windows (to slightly paraphrase your comment). I don't use Solaris but I still enjoy the article.
It is exciting news for Postgres users. The prospect of Sun coming aboard and actually contributing is great. And 24x7 support will get more people aboard.
How does not being an IP country translate into no education? Did the US not have an education system long before it moved into an "IP only country" as you put it?
You are an idiot for dismissing South Africa as third world.
We may be in Africa and suffer from some of its problems, but I am sitting here typing my message from a Gentoo box while installing FreeBSD on another machine. Third world? I think not.
Also, the sun rises earlier in South Africa than in the US. We sometimes get news earlier than you do because New Zealand and Australia wake up looong before you do.
A better patent system would be to have an entire community moderate patent applications. Only +5 patents are granted.
Think Slashdot. Only those interested in tech affairs read Slashdot. Now simply adapt the/. code to work for the patent system and - profit! Or non-profit really.
I was faced with the same situation regarding weak passwords for a system which manages an entire group of companies' orders and quotes via the internet.
I easily persuaded them to let me improve the password restrictions. Money talks.
As for the users I have not had many complaints about the new more difficult password scheme.
As another poster mentions you can delay brute-force attacks by hardcoding a sleep into your authentication code if possible.

This is a genuine question, not a troll.

Oh, the suspense of it all. Americans vs Spanish. Sweat on the brows night after night.
Plus, then I won't have to RTFA thoroughly.
they are using their classic method of producing superior software by catering to the needs of the user
What does this mean?
And I apologize for using the word idiot.
I am usually very critical of my own country so my outburst of patriotism surprised even myself.

I volunteer to come and kick Jones' boss' ass. Damn apostrophes...

If killing is the smallest part then why not skip it altogether?
