Oh brother. Value speculation, or as we know it, turning every last fact on Earth into a buck then feeding it into a blender to be distributed for public consumption at an optimal vale divided by 42, is dead. People are starting to see value in intangible things like quality as opposed to quantity. And value in things like changes in attitudes.
I would offer one caveat however. There's a saying that if Rome had sent all its best men to war, the Empire would have crumbled sooner. I would suggest (as much I cannot believe I'm saying this) watching television then responding as you might on/.
The fact is the media has found an audience of morons lower than them and these morons are not going away. We need to claim that territory as well as guard the Net.
i'm about as sick and tired as I can conceivably be without event of degenarative disease or death of all this let's just get along crap.
If something is designed badly it sucks, if something is designed well, it rules. Very simple. Man this is like that color blind and sexless world crap where because color is an issue for some devolved individuals or because some sexist religions and societies exist a sexless colorless world is a better choice.
Gates is not responsible for the proliferation of PC's. He's responsible for little beyond preventing others from getting involved. Just foollow the story of DirectX.
In fact I'd say we'd be light years from where we are if it weren't for IBM's narrow Business Machines only vision, Apple's childish Jetsons futurism, Microsoft's out the door before it's born and functional approach, the commercial Unix wars happening every three days, and first posting.
In fact I'd say there's quite a few devils on the loose.
You may flame when ready... when I'm ready that is.
RedHat will have its own shop in the European Socialist Utopia soon as well as nonWaassenar(sp!) countries. What's to stop them from developing crypto code work from there then importing it.
On the other hand maybe cancelling geography classes for a few generations might help here.
Or maybe RH et al should start whining a little more.
Bright my ass. Those port scanners (gene fools, gene kiddies or as Linus would say scientists masturbating) will deduce that the Human Genome Project isn't enough. People have to keep their jobs some way. Next they will control every atom in your body. They already have genes what's left. and they call me a naysayer?:P
I mean look at the sorry state of Physics, more elemental particles than atomic elements. Something very wrong with that.
Hint: If there's a qualifiable difference between two items, then those items are not elemental. Therefore qualifiable variance results from combination not division. Think red yellow and blue. Combine those to produce more colors. And we all know why digital rgb monitors went analog. So you wouldn't have to have 24 wires per pixel to produce 24-bit color.
BSD licenses are trying to create a sort of Software Title Deed. Much like there is no license forcing me to reveal the workings of an improved muffler I created by fooling with parts from the car I OWN, I shouldn't have to reveal the source to my changes to code.
Problem: Hardware is material and visible. Software is invisible. The only thing that might inhibit one person from tweaking their car is a lack of training.
There's a heck of a lot more obstacles to software. Think about how newbies blame the computer (or rarther the case, or the keyboard or the monitor even) when we would know it was the OS that was broken.
Until that gap is crossed, the BSD isn't going to achieve anywhere near the Bell curve in results.
Besides what final product? No company would ever say this is the last version of our software you'll ever need...
Seriously though, it is not the company who should own the final product but the person WHO PAID FOR it.
First of all it isn't a community, as Bob Young noted a while ago, or in his words not cohesive. 99.44% (tm) of the time this is a Good Thing (tm).
However, the industry needs to get its head out of its ass and get over the novelty of using Linux. It's time to get serious. Perhaps home schooling associations might like to create a distribution tbat takes out the mp3 rippers and adds classroom planners or something.
Businesses might need prototyping applications or let's say Rev or Sneaker Linux for Electronic Design Automation and Reverse Enginneering.
This only encourages arrogance, which is a serious threat to security and also is the best attack against a country's infrastructure. The net is used by millions of all skills, opinions, cultures, backgrounds, tastes. You cannot expect an internatiopnal organization to finish a product if their biggesat concern is not setting off filters. That does more damage to productivity than taking a porn break during work hours.
Eavesdropping? No one in a position to
Reverse engineering is the most useful teaching tool that exists. Corporastions and independent developers provide such tools to all types of customers, home PC users to companies trying to cut down the cost of fixing Y2K by having machines search through code for trouble spots. Auto mechanics, computer technicians, and hackers (not crackers), take their machines apart and put them back together to learn how they work.
Ok but: Why would you assume most people would read hacker as cracker on slashdot.
Dat dataum, truw that's trivialist snobbery. Hacker/cracker defines an attitude in the reader/poster namely, information has potential for good, or information is inherently evil nothing good about it.
When a gov't official says "hackers are dangerous", I recognize that as either arrogant elitist revisionism or ignorance.
Although all they did was solve for a straight line.
Seriously, what I'd like to see is legos that can follow instructions to build a particular type of bridge.
Set up a server that contains the design. . Use seed legos to attract the blocks to their positions. Have them send their position to the central server. When a block is in place set some surfaces of the placed block to repel and some to attract. Virtually every lego will be forced into a position within the design.
I think I'll put this in my personal prior art database.
I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't a cruel joke from people who would rather we not be able to lift off this rock. Space corrupts absolutely I suppose.
It's perfectly understandable that the US wants to protect itself
Let me parse the underbelly of this statement. So there is a US that is apart from its citizens. Who is the US really? Is it the gov't or is it its citizens saying they don't want crypto laws?
Which hierarchy does the constitution support? (Rhetorical question)
All it did was match her voice recording of her saying his name as key to a database against her saying his name. Sheesh, hype hype hype hype hype hype.
Part 2 has nothing to do with programming at all. It has to do with that so called autism that allows people to dig deeper and therefore have trouble speaking with those permanently glued to the surface of all things. It has to do with being able to take information from one course of study and relate it to something else. Most surface dwellers (packers) understand by recognizing and identifying previous concepts not by analysis which leads to the knowledge that everything is pretty much the same at the core it's just a matter of knowing where to put new information. Now about that research regarding the visual performance of employees wearing tight neckwear. I think that needs to be forwarded to PHBs.

It's easy to see that new technology will be same size better parallelism. 300Mhz processors that kick Merced from here to tomorrow.
Let's dump CISC already.

Guys I've run dozens of apps between the two so cut the crap.
C'mon... freenet.on.openprojects.net
Situation:
most systems have weak security
1.exploit info is widely available (Phrack/L0pht/etc)
Everyone knows the FBI hires people who work on these publications. Anti-virus teams routinely read similar magazines like the old 40h.
Solutions:
* restrict access to security weaknesses (net censoring/eavesdropping/illegalizing reverse engineering/etc...)
Leave the alarmist hype to the media, please.

Sorry bub He Is Talking About Hackers not CRACKERS. Turn off Jerry Springer and read something useful before you post.

"You're surrounded by Internet information systems anyway. Get over it."

If you pay for a connection YOU have the right to be able to be a derivative ISP no questions asked.
If a port must be closed for security reasons it's not their business to tell you what to do. Keeping that port closed is your responsibility.
THEY SHOULD HAVE AN OPTION TO ALLOW YOU TO DO WHAT YOU WANT. Enough of the prohibitive handholding already.

Judging from the fact that they did release IP, they probably thought that it's useful, which is false.
HOWEVER, that illustrates their attitude and intent which I don't agree with.
And I'm sorry if this response bores you to death. Bite me.
You surely won't get far with your drop of water.
My mistake. Water is massless.
