though I doubt they really cared much or contributed to Linux in any meaningful way.
Point, somewhat taken, as I started on Red Hat 5.0 - but I never felt they had a connection with the users like Ubuntu/Cannoncial has had, they always felt like a big company *trying* to be what OSS compaines should be. I feel Ubuntu is the real deal, and I stand by my statement.
I'm very happy that Ubuntu has come out of the gate, and done everything right. Since I've been using linux (1998) I've never seen any company so behind Linux as Cannonical have been, and I have a good feeling about this. Funny thing is, yesterday I just recieved my free Ubuntu cds; I 'ordered' 15 x86 versions, and 6 powerpc versions. I'm giving them to friends to try the 'live' option, and dropping them off at coffee cafe's, music stores and colleges. It's a good time to be using free software, and I think it can only HELP the world in coming together.
ClamAV is completely useable, personally I see no need for any other. As for a milter being hard to setup, try installing MailScanner http://www.mailscanner.info/ - it will automatically use ClamAV if it's installed (you can add, delete others via a conf file) and it'll even automatically update it for you too.
If more corportations would 'trust' open source, it would be very easy to put a virus/spam/dcc/greylist/mailscanner solution; even in front of their precious exchange server!
I have a new Dell, 3.2G box, with a PCI-e ATI x300 card, everyone knows about the ATI Linux drivers not being as good as nVidia, so I want to buy a new PCI-e card. The big question is; what do I NEED to play things like UT2005 and Doom3? (I'm really waiting for the next Quake, but I figure if I am running Doom3 I should have enough horsepower (haha)...
What is recommended w/o breaking the bank? (in other words, less than 200$)
Ah, so I'm an idiot eh? I started on the Internet in 1994, and I used Yahoo at the time, while it looked SOMEWHAT like that link, it was never that spartin, it had many more links as well as graphical 'buttons' to choose from, and it's now (in)famous 'catagories' listing all the way down the left side. The linked Yahoo Seach looks like Google, but back in the mid 90s Yahoo DID NOT. Here, take a look at Yahoo in 1996:
So that's my point, Yahoo never looked as Google'd as it does now. Thanks for calling me an idiot, but next time please have something to back that up with.
Hey, Slashmob even sounds like Flashmob. It could be used to describe situations like this where a Slashdot mob was able to disrupt something, w/out the classic Slashdotting effect! In other words, if the server is still standing, but things on the target sight have changed due to Slashdot directed users hitting it, it will be due to a Slashmob.
Oh wow, there again shows Google's inovation, even Yahoo has copied them to appear 'non-portal' like! Thanks for the link, I've never seen that, and it's very telling!
Remember when Google said they weren't going to become a portal, and while they have tons of innovation, their 'personalized home page' and email service are starting to feel just like that. Are they just trying to avoid being 'tagged' as one thing and instead trying to retain their own personality? From what I've seen they've taken the leadership role from Yahoo years ago, so I wouldn't worry about anyone trying to piegeon-hole them; they are their own entity and a driving force for the Internet as a whole.
Will be interesting to see what Google looks like in 10 years, heck, we'll be able to say "When I was a kid, Google was a search engine, that's it"
That's fantastic, so I wonder if all 571 websites are now down due to one/. post! Now that would call for a/. story, which should in turn/. http://www.whois.sc/ Who says reading/. is passive!
Cassettes, and even Cassette-singles - a short lived 45 type of try - were so cool back in the day. Get a good Nakamichi tape deck (dragon anyone?) and keep the tapes out of the sun and you had some great quality. Plus, once CDs came out, tapers went nuts getting most of the quality (cds at that time were not well done) at almost no cost. Tape decks were the standard in cars, as most people still have them in any car > 10 years old.
I hope that anything that out'dos CDs come back to a smaller, more portable format as the cassettes, but not their penchance for falling apart after too much sun.
I have a photo printer at home, and as they get more powerful and cheaper, I see this as becoming more and more of the norm. This would circumvent this draconian kind of big brother style of business. How can someone making >15k$ (an avg 'full-time' yearly wage at Wal-mart) be expected to police customers snapshots?
If most of the people polled are for 'bigger' government, why did a (small) majority vote for Bush? Oh, I know, because he says one thing and does the other, I forgot.
My main concern about the internet is that my 5 and 2.5 year old kids will be exposed (pun intended) to all kinds of crap (pun also intended) out there. Sure, I can have some active firewall rocking the connection, but that's just at my house. Plus, all the kids that they'll grow up with will likely be exposed to the 'raw' internet, and thus my kids will too.
So yeah, while I don't think the goverment can regulate people, they could (try) to make certain sites require more proof of ID before they can view. (I can think of plenty of ways around this, and w/o imposing some sort of China-wall, I don't really see it working)
I know, it's an "OPTION" that means if he doesn't want it, fine. They have higher octaine gas at the gas station, but I don't want it, so I stick with what I want. Let me know if you need further explanation...

You say you're not, but you *must* be new here.
It's like a car wreck, you can't help but look. I think the 'normal' one is the scariest...
Will it be as famous as Bill's has become? Here's a few Bram could choose from.

Wouldn't this had been a better title for the article?
SCO Includes GPL Products In OpenServer 6
I assume these are the only GPL apps they distribute with their OS, right?

Note: OpenGL = Nvidias fastest. Direct3D = ATi
Yep, good call, and since I'm only running Linux, OpenGL is going to be what I want to shoot for.

on Slashdot? What would be left to read? Change you modifier to +2 and see how much is left.

Ah yes, penchant, I knew it was wrong after I posted; penchance? Looking at it now, it's quite humorous. Thanks for the correction.
