Quoting: If you want to distribute modified versions of qmail (including ports, no matter how minor the changes are) you'll have to get [djb's] approval.
And there have never ever not once not even no no been holes discovered in qmail or djbdns, so rushing out a security fix is not something to expect. Check the age on some of those packages. They are from a long time back, and they are still the current release.
Maybe not living in the USA is a disadvantage for me, because I don't understand this talk about innovation and how it is getting crushed all the time.
Clipped from the page:
Rambus CEO Geoff Tate said. "If today's decision is allowed to stand, all companies that innovate risk having their intellectual property rights unjustly expropriated."
Now, on an innovation is something new. Does getting shown up to have a bogus lawsuit cause you to lose the ability to make something new? They are intentionally missing the point, utterly and completely. Rambus is twisting words. Same with that Microwhat? company.
I have a whole domain full of email addresses (that's a lifetime supply) and I can change service providers, taking my address with me, at the hat of a drop.
Giving away your code for free, or even letting other people copy your code is usually NOT a viable business model. Microsoft does not develop custom projects.
Using an 'open' license does not force you to give your code away for free.
Have you taken the time to read the GPL (as an example of a open license)? It says that you can charge for the pleasure of distributing your code.
If you don't like the GPL, then write your own - the NineNine License.
Admittedly I've never charged people to download my software, (distribution is ~2c/download, most was written because I wanted it), but I do get paid because of it. Take for example Clatter. Because of it I landed a job with an company friendly to open licenses and I've been paid to support my software.
We're talking about phat software here. The stuff getting ASP-ised isn't My Text Editor but Business Money Shuffler 2001 which costs $5000 per module (minimum 4 modules) to purchase.
When the company goes bung, better to have a dump of the database and a pile of source code in a runnable form than absolutely nothing.
They don't have to develop the software, just run it.
I took one of my old DSL modems along to a LAN party as they needed a DHCP server. After a bit of stuffing around I got it sorted.
Unfortunately my settings were a bit crappy, having still got my home network information in it, so I stuffed the entire network much to the anger of the people around.
Anyways, I got it all sorted eventually.
What can I do with 4MB of flash RAM on this baby? Hmmm.
Last month I got sick and was unable to get out of bed. Fortunately I had a junk old 486 running OpenBSD beside my bed which I could use to SSH into my normal computer. I could even SSH in to work.
1024x768? BA! 1152x864x32 or 80x25x2. Nothing in between!
Some webservers include an ETag header that according to RFC2616:
14.19 ETag
The ETag response-header field provides the current value of the
entity tag for the requested variant. The headers used with entity
tags are described in sections 14.24, 14.26 and 14.44. The entity tag
MAY be used for comparison with other entities from the same resource
(see section 13.3.3).
I get very little spam in my main inbox, by putting noone@nowhere.com in every damn e-mail box I fill out on the internet
I usually give companies a dose of their own medicine and use one of their mailboxes for registrations. For example, Realplayer is registered to abuse@real.com, and Quicktime is registered to abuse@apple.com.
Even though my cable modem is $50/month regardless of how much spam I get
I spend a lot more than that. Let me see... $US163.75/mo and that lets me receive up to 3GB of spam.
And can you believe it, mail.com won't close an email account I got there?
PS, tip for qmail users: to create a mail blackhole, use:
Hold on, it is located in India (.in?), but the domain is a New Zealand Company (.co.nz). Blatant abuse of the DNS!
PS,.nz has a 10 second-level choices that cover a lot of things. There is.ac.nz and the less suitable.school.nz that they could have used. I'll bet Register.com doesn't offer them (or.in) and they were too lazy to track down the proper website for registrations.
Should have used WebWHOIS - it'll find the correct registrar for ya!

They all told me that Mozilla 0.8.1 doesn't conform to EarthNet-39 standards.
I agree that eventually most of my applications will sit across the 'net.
While it is scary (refer the story about Application Service Provider / Software authors going out of business) in that you no longer have the data here --> it is much more convenient.
The majority of my work is performed in:
A SecSH/SSH window to another computer
A web browser
A samba file share
If someone was to nick this computer I'm currently using I would be disappointed because 1) it has my Half-Life key config, and 2) I have a Thawte personal key sitting in my Mozilla PSM.
If someone stole that computer on my right I would be disappointed because it has one of my SSH private keys on it. Good luck trying to get through OpenBSD's security, but it is in there somewhere.
Steal my computers and you steal a nice video card. Steal my web server and you steal my life's work.
Who wants software via a browser? I want software via a browser. Heck, just on Monday I wrote a to-do list that I use via a browser. And on a 100MB network, they are not slow.
I don't like applets, I haven't written applets. I write forms. I write database backed 'dynamic' web pages that serve up the information.
My applications do sit across the 'net! Viva the terminal.
It is due to the page design. The banner advert is in a separate table from the rest of the page, and a table does not get rendered until it has completely downloaded.
Thus the advert table will display long before the content table is downloaded and then displayed.
A similiar thing can be used to circumvent RealPlayer on Windows.
When you take a snap of the RealPlayer window, there is the same empty space there. Paste this snap into a paint program (I use Paint Shop Pro).
Now, move the RealPlayer window over the picture of the RealPlayer window. Suddenly drag the window to beside the picture of the window (so now you see two RealPlayer windows side by side. both showing the video) then just as RealPlayer does some colour adjustment, take another screenshot.
You will now have a picture containing the RealPlayer window and a picture of the RealPlayer window. One will have the video shot in.
If you were to count up all the pixels covered by advertising the old layout from CNet included then you'll probably find that it has just been accumulated into a single area. I like it better that way. Only one thing to ignore.

It was included in court documents a long time ago, but someone realised and asked to have those documents hidden away.

PDFlib is a good thing. Better than the lack of page breaks in HTML.
Here's a good demonstration of it: Paper CD Case. Make paper cases of you CDs. Enter details, it makes you a PDF.

The big advertisers don't see the Net (yet) as a valid medium for developing brands.
Maybe ThinkGeek isn't a big advertiser, but seeing their adverts at the top of many /. pages really has developed their brand to me.

My computer already supports being turned on from three sources:
At 8.45a this morning my computer powered itself on because I set the BIOS up to turn it on at that time.
With regards to the second option, I can SSH into the server on the LAN beside my computer and send it a magic packet it wake it up.
As for turning it off ... I just have to click the right buttons and it will shut itself down.
I moderate this buzzword compliant piece of electronics -1 redundant.
Do what the adverts on MSN Messenger do: download the advert completely before displaying the advert.
Messenger has a placeholder advert (it says: "MSN Messenger Service") which it displays until it has downloaded the next advert.
msn.crysm.net - make your own MSN branding
It is due to the page design. The banner advert is in a separate table from the rest of the page, and a table does not get rendered until it has completely downloaded.
Thus the advert table will display long before the content table is downloaded and then displayed.
No conspiracies there.
