Why would they need basic auth? After all, the security on the compromised computers was bad enough for them, complete random strangers to the owners of the PCs, to bypass system authentication and authorization controls to grab the data in the first place.
YaST needs to be better modularized similar to Red Hat's system-config-foo utilities.
Don't get me wrong, YaST is a great tool, but damn, it was slow on a Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.something GHz CPU with 8 GB of RAM. I don't want to even see how it performs on something with significantly less RAM and CPU.
Reminds me of my review of "Moby Dick"

Captain Ahab sets out looking for a whale. The whale proves to be too elusive for Ahab. The whale eats Ahab and he dies. The end.
Do these US senators expect Chinese hotels in the US to follow US law? If so, then why the shock?
Hell, a lot of hotels in the U.S. aren't even owned by U.S. companies, their owned by the Japanese. That's true, at least, of every single hotel in Hawaii.
Of course we expect these hotels to operate in accordance with U.S. law. Of course, the thing is that the Japanese tend to always seek excellenece in their endeavors -- and, in their view, excellence includes strict compliance with the law.
OTOH, many hotels owned by American companies and individuals don't operate in accordance with U.S. law -- cleanliness standards that aren't up to state and federal health codes, employing undocumented workers as housekeeping staff.
So uhh...what is it they're screaming and handwaving about again?
They are questioning whether or not Ubuntu classifies as open source, because the parent company might want to make money. The entire preposition here is flawed and silly.
Even the Free Software Foundation makes money selling Free software.
Canonical needs a revenue source. It wants to derive revenue from support contracts, and is using an enterprise software tool as a carrot. Landscape isn't part of Ubuntu, anyway, it's a separate product. What's the big deal?
In a related development to a story posted eariler today [slashdot.org] Taco has bought copies for the entire/. dev team.
Later that day, Taco also bought copies for all current Slashdot subscribers with good or better karma affected by the outage. Mr. Morgan Greywolf was quoted as saying "Wow! That was really, really nice of you, Rob! You are wayyy coool, Taco!!!!"
Certainly if I had spent a number of meetings discussing how and when Americans should torture people [washingtonpost.com] I would be motivated to do so.
So? Why not replace Notes with sendmail and a 2,000 line procmail script written in Befunge?
Whether or not his code is half-assed is entirely subjective. I've had, over the years, the following filesystems blow up, losing all data:
FAT NTFS XFS VxFS
Does that mean that they all have half-assed coders?
Linux kernel panics due to bugs every now and then. Does this make Linus and Co. a bunch of half-assed developers? I've seen Windows crash many, many times. Does this make Microsoft a pack of half-assed coders (wait, don't answer that!)
There's no such thing as the GPL without copyright. Reiser, as a convicted felon, can be stripped of his rights. If that happens, the filesystem does not go into the public domain. It's simply that the license becomes invalid (because Reiser has no right to grant it!).
Nope. You don't lose your copyrights by being convicted of a felony. That used to be true under English law, but hasn't been true even there since about 1870 or so.
I'm sure everyone's heard of the "Unix beard"? Now, look here. My having a beard has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with me being a UNIX sysadmin. Nothing! Would you people just cut it out!

Yes.
No fair! Who gave OpenSUSE that AK47?!
Uh, hasn't that been tried already?

Now, look. My wearing of slippers has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with me being a theoretical physcisist. Nothing! Would you people just cut it out!

Not only that, but your link contains a sion of the same blog by the same guy! Holy circular references, Batman!
For the LOVE OF GOD, would someone PLEASE go grab James Gosling and SHAVE HIS BEARD!!!!
