No. That's why they imported the stack protection right after 3.2 was released. I've tested the stack protections, and while I have to admit there were some bumpy times at first, it has been rock solid for about 3-4 months now. i386 has had little to no problems, the vast majority of the issues have been with the macppc platform, and sparc64 systems. (Mostly because the author didn't have those systems avaliable when he wrote ProPolice.
Actually, I think they will buy the ASA. Then have them issue a statement that said they were wrong, that MS actually does protect against greasy hackers.
Too bad they didn't mention the non-greasy hackers. Well, I suppose it doesn't matter, as they don't exist.
In comparison to the amount of beta and alpha releases of Windows that ever existed, *very* few. I had to clean a copy of Memphis off of a lady's computer (her husband worked for MS, and he passed away). That was very unfriendly. He broke most of the computer when we got to it. Had to replace a ram simm, the hard drive and the video card. (Why, I don't know, but he broke the shit out of that computer, and we earned our fee).
I try, but since I am responsible for 1000 clients (and each have at least one payroll person), that is impratical. I try to train as many people as possible, but it is quite draining. Especially when they are already supposed to have basic computer skills.
I do tech support for payroll. Some of my duties involve reproducing the error, and either finding work arounds, or spoon feeding it to our programmers. I *can* do the payroll persons job. That is easy.
I mostly bitch about the fact that the payroll person doesn't know where the Start button is. That I have to explain what an Icon is. How to right-click. I don't expect them to be techs, but I expect them to have basic computer knowledge.
(BTW: I'm not making those up. I have talked to at least 3 people from each one of the examples I gave.)
"Using Opera is like slipping on a comfortable pair of shoes, and then discovering that your formerly comfortable shoes have been surreptitiously filled with broken glass. As you make this realization, a troupe of baboons rounds the corner, baring and snapping their grisly teeth. They howl and begin to chase you. Knowing you're the only fresh meat for miles, you start running from this horrible Ape Menace, suspecting that you have somehow fallen into the hands of the Global Monkey Conspiracy. As the simian horde draws closer, in your desperate panic to get away, you slide into a steep ravine. As you strike bottom, you awake, in bed. It was all a dream.

No they are not. Sun still wants you to run Solaris. I am trying to buy a Sun machine (to run OpenBSD on), and they won't return my calls.
Fine. Don't take my money. Don't save on the lack of support calls you'll get. Save money on my lack of downloading your service packs. Sun is retarded for ignoring those who just want hardware.
I type faster than I can talk. Voice recognition is bad. I don't want 3d input devices (except for pr0n games), I just want a keyboard buffer that I can't overflow by using IRC:P
FWIW, UFS/FFS doesn't need Journaling. The only time I have lost data is when the drive went bad. I've done stress tests where I pull the plug when the drive is seeking like mad.
I pulled out my Mac OS 0.9g floppy disk, and it's still readable. The only machine that I ever had that could boot from it is an achient Mac Plus, which hasn't worked for about 5 years. That floppy disk, btw, is about 15 years old. 400k and all that.
I copied it to another disk, and checksum'd the files as well.

Awww, it's so cute that people think the Supreme Court isn't a puppet orginazation.
bzip may make smaller files, but takes more cpu power and more memory than gzip. That is why they don't change.
it's so cute, the trolls don't know how to count. *5* posts on this. Taco even pointed out the other 4.
The name change shall be required, since all GNU software is evil, and the GNU/Evil bit is obviously a derivative of GNU tools.

Win32 don't work on Intel's 64-bit Server "solution"

You said good. Stop that.

How true, How true.

Sparc chips are for servers, not desktops, and look where Sun is right now. Surfing the craphole wave, that's where.

I use mine all the time. Just cause you use an inferior operating system doesn't mean you should ruin it for the rest of us.
*whack* 3 hour difference. 9PM PST == midnight EST.

It's been asked. I don't have the article avaliable, but Google basicly said "our apps are Linux centric, and moving them to BSD would be difficult".
;-)
I don't think he said outright that he would prefer a BSD solution, but it was implied. [/flamebait=off]

Did you draw it by sight?
How do you propose incorporating your local changes? `mergemaster` is the easiest way.
Not without changes. When 5.0 is released, Nvidia will make the nessasary changes (5 line diff) and let you peeps play.
`man release`.
Make it yourself. Details for OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. (I don't use NetBSD, but I assume it is there as well)
