Dude, don't be so impatient. Perhaps this resource will convince some kernel developers to use it instead of whatever else they were using. But it takes time, and you have to start somewhere!
In other words, TCP is obliged to somehow send data reliably using only an unreliable tool.
How is this news? All technologies, on some level, are inherently unreliable. Therefore, in order to obtain reliability, it is always by adding some kind of redundancy to an unreliable tool.
I've never seen a technology touted as "reliable" that didn't achieve that reliability without some kind of self-checking or redundancy somewhere. Maybe that's the author's point, but he makes it sound as TCP/IP is unique in this regard.
This is what programming is all about. It seems pretty obvious to me.
lpr doesn't let you find printers, only print to them. SMB has network browsing capability, which makes it possible for people to find a printer without knowing its network name or address.

It appears to be only available in Japan. A google search on "CaptyTV" reveals only Japanese web sites.
So after you fire all your American programmers, who's going to have the money to buy your products? Where do you think the money you spend on American programmers goes? It goes into the American economy, which buys your products. Do you think the underpaid Indian programmers can afford them?
If you've ever wanted to use OpenNIC but didn't want to fight with your router's DHCP server, now you don't have to. I upgrade from 2.40 to 2.42, and there's an option to specify the IP addresses of your DNS servers. So I set mine to point to OpenNIC, and now I can access web sites like http://www.paradox.null/.
Granted, there doesn't appear to be anything of real value there now, but that may change now that OpenNIC is available to every Linksys customer out there.
Who modded the above as informative? It's purely an opinion! I use Mozilla and IE on both Mac and Windows, and I prefer Mozilla. I'm sure there are lots of people who prefer Mozilla, and there are plenty who prefer IE.
There's a lot to learn, and also a lot to love, about OS X. I suggest you do some research on your own, because I couldn't do it justice here. The easiest thing to do would be to pay more attention to the Apple articles here on Slashdot.
I can sum it up, though: Apple has managed to do what Linux has tried and so far failed: bring Unix to the masses, and do it in an amazing way.
You may need to dig up the reference from some mailing list archive, but Linus Torvalds himself has said that he will allow binary-only drivers, as long as they're loadable modules, to be distributed.
It all boils down to the concept of "derivative work". Is a device driver a derivative work of the kernel? My opinion is no, but only the courts can truly answer that question, and no one has asked them yet.
It would seem that your definition of idiot is even broader then mine. Based on the above paragraph it seems you place about 99.9% of Internet users in this category.
Is it possible to sue the patent office for approving such an obvious patent? After all, the defendents against this patent need to spend time and money in court because the PO royally screwed up. Someone needs to take this issue to court, get the patent thrown out, and then use that as a basis for a lawsuit against the PO. That would be a major wake-up call.
Keep in mind that there is a difference between someone who practices Scientology and someone who is a member of the Church of Scientology. It's possible to be the former but not the latter.
The only decent third-party manufacturer of power supplies that I (and I presume most people) have every heard of is PC Power and Cooling. It doesn't appear that this article covers any of their products. Am I missing something?

What channel is that? I wish they sold that show on DVD or even VHS.
Just let the kid watch This Is Spinal Tap and then tell him that his OS goes to 11.

The model in this picture also has some nice handles.
WarCraft III is not good enough for you?

The term "Indecision 2002" is nowhere near novel enough to warrant a trademark or any other legal protection.

It's not a sad mindset, it's the way the US legal system works. You should have paid more attention in high school.

No, but it does have a lot to do with maintainability, especially with a factor of seven difference.
Yeah, that sounds about right to me.
Actually, after watching that show for 5 minutes, I thought the Osbournes were the biggest fscking losers alive. Especially Jack. Oh my god.
I have a saying that use all too often: "Don't ask for sympathy when all you offer is stupidity".
I feel sorry for you.

It's hard enough for one geek to have a child. The chances of two of them are virtually zero!
