DK: It is ridiculous to believe that you can give product away for free and be more successful. I mean it defies the laws of nature.
I see this happen all of the time in the technology world.
This is still an unreleased product but the author slams it as if it were a catastrophe.
Windows Vista is a disappointment. There is no way to sugarcoat that very real truth.
So it has slipped from its release date a few times, plenty of projects do just that. I'll judge the product when I see it released in final form..

What happens when a user tries to keep their many, many passwords the same?
Not all systems store and transmit your password in the most secure manner - so it can be likely that someone gets ahold of your account password through other means.
Keeping the root password seperate from my user account is important if I'm going to use my account password on other systems that I don't believe use the best security practices.
Novell Linux Desktop was their attempt at an enterprise-grade desktop OS.
SuSE Linux was them continuing the SuSE distro. While it *could* be used in the enterprise, that's not how they were pushing it.
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) was their server.
They never offered a Linux server OS w/ the Novell name on it. Now it appears they're trying to be a bit more consistant with the naming scheme. NLD and SuSE Linux were two different beasts all together. I had much luck with SuSE 9 while NLD 9 gave me many headaches - they should have been nearly identical but weren't.
Maybe they're simply dropping the Novell Linux Desktop distro?
There are usually only two or three songs that sell an album.
Price of an album: $12-$18
Price of three iTunes: $2.97
If execs can force people to buy their three good songs for $12-$18, why would they want to break the album into pieces and only sell the good stuff at a much reduced profit?
17,000 employees running on Exchange 2003.
By default they have 100MB mailbox limits. They're required to use Personal Folders (.PST files) or simply go without records.
There is no attachment size limit.
When user's get to 100+MB they are still able to receive - their incoming messages are *never* rejected. Every message they try to send out, however, is undeliverable due to them being in excess.
User's are allowed to request a 50MB size increase, but beyond that are SOL.
We highly encourage \ require archive files.
..I'm sitting around wondering why this is a surprise to most people? I thought it was common knowledge that the processing power required to do HDTV the right way was lacking.

It's definitely the price you pay for being an early adopter, but I would still argue that the picture you are getting is much better than the NTSC we've been used to for decades.
I thought the DMCA protected protection-schemes, not copyright law.. It's not like Walmart put copy-protection on the JPEGs. I didn't think the copyright would apply anyways, wouldn't this site be allowed fair use of the images? It's not like he's trying to compete with them. I still hate the DMCA..
I have a big problem with this solution. They shut off these features that have good and legitimate use - but if somebody were to really spend the time they could get around it. So now all we're doing is asking for the virus writers of the world to buckle down and make better code. We didn't really secure the OS against DOS attacks because we limited the functionality to create them - but now that somebody hacked the OS at a lower level we have bigger problems than ever. Keep applying those bandaids!
When I did those kind of things in my younger days it was purely educational.. Because I did those things, my PC won't be hacked. If it does, then it means there's more I need to learn.. (by the way, my PC name is "insecure" - I'm asking for it)
Wrecking a car and a computer system are two different things. Computer systems are recoverable, and if they're not.. more lessons for the sysadmin. The money spent repairing the car (and whatever it crashed into) is what needs to be accounted for, just like the guy who hacks a system to find (and abuse) private data. That costs real money and time, a crashed server (or hell, even realizing you've just been hacked) is a lesson in the form of a minor headache that could have been much worse.
If it can be hacked, it should be hacked. Not destroyed, abused, or used for ill-gotten advantages, but only so it can be fixed. It's one of the philosophies that melts in oh-so-nicely with the open source movement.
..a hand's on education in computer security. It's a shame that the 16 year old who's bored with computer science class faces the same penalty as the guy who plans on using the comprimised data for personal gain.
