Isn't it true that much of Reiser4 is already coded? Since Reiser is GPL 2, there is nothing to stop the remaining developers -- or anyone else -- from picking up the ball and running with it. Namesys hired at least 1 or 2 full-time developers other than Reiser, although my guess is that since their Web site is currently down, there is probably nothing left of Namesys since Namesys is/was mostly Reiser, his (still missing, possibly deceased) wife Nina, and Reiser's father.
So, probably with no money, my guess is the hired hands won't continue work, but I am unable to speak for them.
Still, ReiserFS could continue without Hans, right?
For those who may not know, Rudy De Haas is the real name of "Paul Murphy", who has written quite a few heavily-anti-Linux biased articles regarding this whole fiaSCO. Since he has written some pro-Linux articles as well (but never about the SCO cases), one has to seriously wonder whether or not Mr. de Haas is a paid schill.
They are not even networked and they do not run Windows.
Actually, I have heard of critical medical devices running embedded Windows NT and/or embedded Windows CE. In fact, that's what these guys do. Okay, okay, so their Web designer isn't too bright and left the title tag as "Untitled Document". It least it was designed in Dreamweaver instead of FrontPage.:)
The simplicity of rural life sometime make me wonder whether what we do is really worthwhile.
You know what. You're right. I'm going to stop using this computer right now, stop posting on Slashdot, stop hacking on Linux, stop all my software development projects, throw all this stuff out and go and move out into the middle of nowhere and maybe grow a few citrus trees.
People think 'broadband' means 'fast'. Actually broadband can ~= faster. Broadband just means that there a particular signaling path has broader range of frequencies (more bandwidth) than some other signaling path. 768Kbps ADSL is broadband compared with a 56Kpbs modem, but is not broadband compared against a fiber optic connection.
In a more technical sense in telecommunications, though broadband is divided into into channels, where baseband just has one signal over the maximum of the bandwidth of the medium. So while cable is a broadband technology and 100-base-TX is a baseband technology, 100-base-TX is of course, much, much faster than cable.
The opposite of 'narrowband' is 'wideband', which doesn't mean the same thing as 'broadband' despite the fact the 'wide' and 'broad' are synonyms.
So the editors Slashdot have gotten to be so bad, they've resorted to hiring spores? I guess they meet the qualifications -- can't spell, poor grammar, approve every submission from "I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property", etc.
Yet Apple executives have said that one-third of Fortune 500 companies were interested in giving iPhones â" with all their known and potential security holes â" to their employees. My guess is that someone at Apple is either pulling this out of their arse, or it's from some sort of survey of Fortune 500 executives -- most of which, even the Cx0s (where x is in [IT]) -- have very little knowledge of IT in general.
Most of their IT people -- those with real IT knowledge -- would be telling them "No, no. Bad plan. No internal central management, no internal patch management, doesn't fit our security model, bad, bad, bad!!!"
Agreed. Handing out ALTER SESSION privs to anyone using a form is just plain dumb, dumb, dumb. You may as well put PLEASE HACK ME in flashing red letters at the top of the form.
Support those candidates, regardless of party, that promise to end the Dept of Homeland Security, promise to repeal the USA PATRIOT ACT
And what political candidates and parties would those be? Mother Goose of the Unicorns, Leprechauns and other Fairy Tales Party? The Real Slim Shady from the Fat Chance He'll Ever Get Elected Party?
You write yours down? I just memorize mine. Then it's safe even when I die.;)
Death? Who said you were going to get death? We know who you are and where you are. After 3 days in Gitmo, you'll give up your private encryption key passphrase.

No, cake-encapsulated file systems.
He already did -- FAT. We just never heard about what happened to Bill's first wife.

Nope, looks like he failed it.
Yes, but does the toaster run Linux?
If you can run it under JavaScript, you can run it on an iPhone.
Nahhhhhhhhh!
Yeah, but could you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things?

Confused yet?

I can't be the only one who misread the headline as 'Usability Testing Hairy Hardon With a Girlfriend'.

In Soviet Russia, packet sniffing overloads welcome YOU!!!

Yeah, but the question burning on everyone's minds is: is it stillas slow as pouring molasses outside in January in Michigan's Upper Peninsula?
