Uptime of current version of the server I'm planning is now 479 days - and last downtime was due to some Apache beta hassling with oldish fs. I'd just like you to convince me out of sheepish Intelliness, so that I could become ever more True a Sup3rK3wl Linux h4x0r (I'm afraid I'm even more serious than I try to appear, jolly gosh:P).
As for the stupid +2, I only found out about that funny checkbox below later. Well, it's nice to notice... And I managed to get some informative responses as well, thanks for those.
I do not listen big business that much because I am conscious of their agendas. It was local hw hacker hearsay. Not much better, but at least people were able to say "I do a lot, yet I would not" or "for me, it required conspiciously big power to be stable", in first person.
However I would rather buy them than Intel, if just for all the/. propaganda. *sigh* seems I'll have to get the money for yet another test box.
I am sorry, this is both offtopic and blaming AMD products, but this might affect my purchases.
I have been told not to base a server on Athlon because of power consumption/heat/stability problems. How is it, can it claim 100% uptime for a few years (an intel-level server lifespan)?
I had hoped to base the server on Athlon hardware but have been convinced otherwise:(
How many combinations of two words in a common language can I trademark? How many would I require to gain control over (if not how it is used now) how the langauage will develop?
Remember that language is used in forming exact thoughts. If you can not form certain new word combinations, you are restricted of forming an expression. This results in either finding a corresponding alternative expression or not finding a formula for the thought to be expressed as.
Well, if you have read 1984 you know instantly what I'm talking about. It doesn't have to be that bad, but it might still be pretty ugly. Like the fact that ILUVYOU victims are dummies, and it is a Virus for Dummies, yet we may not call it such! So we might not learn of it.
Yes, IMHO Microsoft and dummy user base are to blame.
However, blaming and future suffering can be avoided simply by making mail clients etc. execute (if they have to) incoming programs as the user nobody. Of course, this requires an unix or equivalent security model; what did you expect? Of course people not knowing how to program should not have reasons to send executables to each other, but that's Just Another Flawed Thought.
really is user stupidity. However it would be abnormal for a user to be able to destroy other users' or system files on a unix style system. Not impossible, just exceptional. You'd need an exploit for that; not just stupid users.
There is no exploit in iloveyouallcaps, 'cept trusting users to send it on.
application-executable/x-sh
Hmm... that might be worth a try:)
Switching a platform below dummy users is going to do nothing except giving them a headache... save if the philosophy in the system changes so that there is at least a possibility to save people from such errors. Windows NT would actually be better fitted for this, far as I understand. However, you could for instance have the external gimmicks run as user nobody!
I have another rant on the subject and it seems some moderator has found it interesting, go figure;P
www.apache.org compromised; a windows virus spreads over the globe like a chain reaction on H2O (if such were possible). What's in common?
Users are not careful. Systems must be secure by default. For all intents and purposes, system administrators are the users of the software their systems consist of (again, see apache.org incident).
Here's listening to OpenBSD. For all their arrogance they have that one right.
This is something every distribution should be based on. Every OS and software distribution. Do not open possibilities of exploit. Is it that hard to think about?
We'll live in a pretty ugly world pretty soon unless this simple principle gets generally accepted.
There is nothing stopping someone using Windows automation exploits, DDoS and such for possibly worse purposes than random harrassment. For what? Play more Illuminati;)
The scripts seem like proof of concepts for dummies; "can I really do like this?" Their goal is not to bring the world to its knees. That could be done the same way, but nobody's that interested. There's another "mothers day" version that actually wipes out system files, but it's still just a half-hearted attempt.
What I'd like to see on news, but haven't seen, is that these are based on the lack of security on Windows, and stupidity of users. If we don't get that point out, people will think computers in general are insecure (like they are, but not/that/ much). Truth is, such exploits are possible only in a world of Windows Dummies.
This is/just/ so crappy. You know, before 1995 every time someone forwarder you a warning of this-and-that e-mail virus, you'd respond by "Viruses don't spread by e-mail."
What the heck do I care, but it pisses me off to see that some people even at my work place can be disturbed by this. Internally we're an AIX house, for God's sake!
If "demonizing" is so bad speech it should not be used, where would you draw the line?
As for releasing under a certain license; it's not a must. You might be obliged to think about it though. Nobody can (now) force you to use a single kind of license. Go for *BSD if GPL hurts you.
You can release your software binary-only and restrict its use and copies. You just may not use GPL-protected code in such programs, that's all. As long as a future DMCA doesn't render copyleft useless.
Proprietariness doesn't guarantee you income, just like GPL does not require you to give out your work for free. GPL just allows redistribution and modification of your work once you distribute it with any price you choose. Or do I get this wrong?
You can, as well, protect people from a world that is emerging: a world where humans are consumers only, and consumables are provided by corporations.
The Nike and other corporate commercials build one kind of world; the freedom zealots' speech builds another kind. Hint: the former ones are suing people and companies for copying stuff; the latter are talking about "what's ethical".
90% of my work is related to Apache CGIs; if nothing else, I use it for GUI.
It's a warm, sunny spring day outside, yet I'm stuck in here. My laptop would only last for two hours, without MP3s, and that is not the length of a coding session. That sucks.
I only need a console and a way to test the web pages.
As for the "early post", you're right:P
Actually, I wanted to post them onto the FAQ, but I guess that they and yopy.org get enough mail now that the thing's mentioned here.
That and other links have already been mentioned here, so I manage to be redundant as well:)
My obvious dream is to have a device that
takes up no space
runs indefinitely (solar power recharge)
can provide either unlimited processing power, or powerful net connection (obviously, to work over ssh + http)
Any more (coding) information about W? Eero Tamminen's W directory denies access.
If I had deliberately wanted to be OT, I'd have said: "Imagine... a Beowulf Cluster of these!" but that would've been too old a joke to mention.
Are you planning to offer Linux or *BSD or related works as parts of your solutions? If, then what kind of system architechture will you use to avoid collisions with GPL with your own drivers?
Good luck! I assume it's going to be a rough ride from your old business model to a new one including free software.
Too bad, then, that I mostly fly between Helsinki and Istanbul - that's as East as you can get in Western Europe, I'm afraid:( (assuming the "Am" refers to "America" - at lest I've never heard of Amtrak.)
Well, the others can't hold back forever. Meanwhile, I'm happy there's at least one company that does such good service.

They probably don't hook up into PC hardware pretty well:) Instead I urge you to read the article before posting; they quite cleary explain there that the scanning is done separately. They talk about another department that "run[s] processes on brain data (which can take up to six hours) that register, inflate, or flatten images and combine them with functional data."
On the analysis and viewing side having commodity hardware price/result is what is pushing the use of free software; what's keeping them back mis weak points such as NFS. But go read the article, it's no use to repeat it here.
BTW, I hold the opinion that Linux NFS really is pretty poor at times. Especially when you unhook a mounted laptop:)
Second furious debugging night:I When the machine cannot do it, you have to simulate it.
Besides, it'd be more interesting to have the machines decode, transfer and encode mind movements between people than just obey - they will do both, eventually.
I'm already ordering my electricity from other side of the country to have it windmilled rather than fissioned. I have a laptop that I use as MP3 player outside, and love to sit out and compute in sunny days - it's just hard, not impossible, to see the screen. Just take a good position. Battery limit of 2 hours is really lame. Lack of net sucks, but I might be able to run ethernet to the roof terrace...
This is News for Nerds. This is Stuff that matters - for me.
However, I'm waiting more anxiously to have a Crusoe wearable with wireless Net. And easing the restrictions of computer usage on flights.

Both are companies whose products cause more trouble than should be fairly acceptable.
Both should be far more restricted IMHO.
There should be some limits to whom you can sell inherently dangerous products.

Sorry for sounding cruel but IMHO that is true.
It's clearly written in the 60-70's in the US of A. The world view and such things as mind-expanding drugs are of that time.

1. Record the whole reverse engineering process on video to use as proof of actually rev.eng'ing, not following specs in court.
2. Publishing a "trade secret" obviously isn't "reasonable effort to protect", is it? Even with oxymoronish "by reading this..." comments.
3. Read the spec and explain it in your own words elsewhere. Someone else follows
4. Do it the Professional way (IBM, #118).
Now if we only had enough interested developers to form four groups to make independent patches/modules for Samba.
Better yet, IMHO IETF really should use the reserved bit differently in a new version, rendering MS "trade secret" inoperable. They just deserve it.

Now I'd just love to find more information on hacking W, the window manager.
