What kind of cat or dog would be good for deflecting bird chunks dropping from the sky, and isn't it going to be heavier to carry above your head anyways? I really think the umbrella is better suited to the task.
If you can configure apache then you can configure openldap, its very simple and easy to setup. And "LAMP" is an embarassment, apache is a bug-riddled security nightmare, PHP is an order of magnitude worse, mysql is a wonderful replacement for flat files, but is worthless as a database, and linux doesn't really matter in the whole thing, any OS could be used and it would make no difference.
Compare their security records, its pretty obvious why I'd want to use the one that doesn't have constant exploits from sloppy and careless programming.
Custom modules that are not ABI compatible from version to version? Versions of what? All apache 2 modules work on all minor versions of apache 2, same for apache 1 with apache 1 modules. So I don't know what you are talking about there.
All you need to do is recompile your httpd binary for each OS that doesn't provide apache binaries, and push it out to each server running that OS. Its really not that big a deal, unless you do every machine by hand or something. If you spend a whole weekend on this, then you should spend some time learning how to automate simple tasks.
Why the hell do you have 300 non-stock versions of apache on 3 or 4 different platforms? Apache is apache on whatever platform, pick one and use it. And apache supports modules you know, you don't need to compile a custom apache all the time, it just makes life difficult for no reason.
Every license relies on copyright, without copyright it would be like everything was public domain. The BSD license still requires that you acknowledge the author of the BSD licensed code.
A scripting language and a programming language are not two different options, scripting languages are a kind of programming language. Scripting languages are high level languages that trade away execution speed in favour of programming speed, and are not directly compiled to machine code like a systems language (C, C++, ocaml, etc). Typically a scripting language can either be #!'d on a unix system, or is embedded in a program to let you customize that program (or both).
Guess what, lots of scripting languages are object oriented and very featureful. That doesn't mean they aren't scripting languages. Scripting isn't a bad word you know, python and perl seem to be doing pretty well for themselves.
Sigh indeed, another "informative" incorrect post.

Examining ICMP Flaws
·
· Score: 1
ICMP is layer 3, but TCP and UDP are not. They are layer 4. ICMP and IGMP and ARP and IP(v4 and v6) are all on the same layer, IP and ICMP just happen to rely on each other rather closely.
For what its worth, BSD's TCP/IP implimentation was released in april of 1982, so if you did yours before, it wasn't by much.
So you are one of those perma-noobs we all complained about in beta? The ones who had been playing the entire time and still couldn't grasp the basic fucking concepts of PvP, but insisted on PvPing anyways and getting your group killed? Why am I supposed to care how long you've been choosing not to learn the game?
Do you realize how stupid you sound pretending you r0xx0rzed everyone out of the box, and everyone else who has ever played the game just sucks? I don't know who you think you are going to impress with your bullshit posturing, but everyone who has played guildwars knows you are talking out of your ass.
There's a big difference between "competing" and lucking out and winning a couple matches against noobs. How many times did you hold the hall of heroes out of the box? Zero, just like everyone else. Because you can't compete out of the box, you have to get spend time fighting noob pickup groups and that idiot who shows up with just henchman to get points to get skills so you can play for real.
Everyone playing now has had time to get skills, items and runs, if you play as a default out of the box character YOU WILL SUCK COCKS. You will be a huge detriment to your team, and you will significantly lower your chances of winning matches. The game is called build wars for a reason, it is very much all about who has the right skills to counter the flavour of the day build. The fact that you don't grasp this just demonstrates that you have never gotten past the crappy noob pickup group stage.
Go pretend you are l33t somewhere where people will believe your bullshit.
I know all about the game thanks, I play it. That doesn't make the original post any less off-topic and useless, since it HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MMOGS. Wether or not Build Wars is a MMOG is in fact the point, read the question before calling people retards, you brainless sack of donkey semen.
And if you think you can compete in PvP out of the box, you need your head checked. You can compete after you've racked up enough points to buy decent skills, but not out of the box. All the pre-made builds are weak, and no matter how much bullshit posturing you do pretending your uber pvp skillz are all that matters, it will never become true. The game is all about your build, your teams builds, and team co-ordination. Individual leetness is worthless, go back to counterstrike if you want that.
Yes, he lawsuit was settled before linux was a buzzword. The lawsuit gave linux a bigger marketshare in the early 90s, thus making it get big enough to become the buzzword it did in the late 90s. If a BSD had more uesers in early 90s, it would have been the buzzword in the late 90s, and would have been latched onto by IBM et al. License had nothing to do with it, simply being a free unix to replace AIX with, and having hype is all it takes.
Linux got a headstart in marketshare because of the AT&T lawsuit. The BSDs always had fewer people because of that. Linux hit a critical mass sooner, and became a buzzword for marketing dorks. The money spent marketing linux just made this gap bigger. There's no reason IBM wouldn't have done the same thing to FreeBSD they did with linux, had FreeBSD been the buzzword du jour. IBM was smart and decided to ride the hype, and help push it more. They will do it again for the next buzzword, regardless of license.
How many people have done that with the dozens of big name BSD-like licensed projects out there? There's 4 BSDs, apache, X, bind, etc, etc. None of them have been "taken away" or claimed by someone else. Because you cannot do that. The license requires you to keep the copyright notice intact, you can't claim its your own, and you can't magically take it away from anyone. You can just use it freely, as if it were free or something. Keep your FUD to yourself.
I've found that people who don't want to hear the truth choose not to. Read the title of my post, there is a huge difference between how you can write bad code in any language, and how PHP actively enourages you to write bad code, and teaches people to do things wrong. The people who make python do not put up websites full of examples of bad python code that is full of exploits. Same with perl, same with every language except PHP. PHP actively encourages people with no programming experience to use their language, and then gives them examples that teach them how to do things COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY WRONG. The fact that PHP even has a register_globals setting is a testament to how bad it is, nevermind that so many examples still rely on it.
And I never said security was just a PHP or mysql issue. Mysql has nothing to do with this. Compare the number of security problems in PHP to any other language. PHP makes ASP look good for christ's sake. And yet the PHP developers have done nothing to stop the constant exploits, they refuse to learn how to program securely. So even if you know how to write secure PHP code, it doesn't matter because PHP itself is undoubtedly still vulnerable to tons of exploits.
In fact, look at the zend website even, they give horrible examples that nobody should ever follow. Gee, I wonder why so many PHP programmers end up writing crappy code.
Also, the PHP developers have proven over and over again that they do not care AT ALL about security. As an ex-PHP programmer myself, I have to agree with the "dear god use anything but PHP" people.
Even their website tells you, its not a MMOG. Its an ordinary diablo 2 style online RPG. In fact, its pretty much diablo 3. A MMOG would imply a persistant world. Guildwars just put a city backdrop behind the chat portion of the game.
Lots of games don't have monthly fees, but that's got nothing to do with MMOGs. And yes, having a higher level does help that much, its just that the level cap is 20 and you can get to it in a day. Also, how much time you waste wandering around capturing elite skills from bosses matters alot too, and is rather time consuming.

Java runs only on OS and architecture combinations where Sun wants it to. Due to the hard work of some people, I can at least get java on BSDs for i386, but not amd64. And even for i386, Sun's license says I can only use it for testing, because I haven't paid them to certify the port as java compliant.
Am I worried about a buffer overflow in CVS? Not on my firewall. You really don't need to patch things that you don't use (and in my case removed from the system, I am running on a 16MB flash).
Laptops do have CMOS batteries, some are hidden away, but they are there. And thieves can just chuck the hard drive and put in a new one, this doesn't deter theft at all. There's more effort involved in stealing the laptop than getting it ready to sell.
I've spent a whole whopping 5 minutes of time on my openbsd firewall in the last 2 years, and that's been adding an occasional port redirect. If you are spending hours, you are doing something wrong.
