Why Is Indemnification Important? There are many benefits to using open source software, but in some cases there are lingering legal concerns around deploying open source in the enterprise. In order for enterprises to fully embrace a broad range of open source software, they need to be able to deploy, manage and control open source while limiting the associated legal and compliance risks. For the first time, enterprises can now access indemnification coverage for a broad range of open source products from a single vendor.
They're selling indemnification insurance. Open Logic is a capitalist enterprise, not some FOSS charity. They're in the business of monetizing FUD.

Hotmail vs Goodmail
·
· Score: 1
For email to get to Hotmail users, the sender must following the rules of the Sender ID Framework, which involves changing some DNS settings.
LOL. That's totally wrong. You can have Sender-ID setup in perfect form, right from Microsoft's own HOWTO page, and they will still throw your mails in the Bulk folder if they haven't seen your MTA before. We called them about this, they told us their mail servers take a while to get "trained" on our mail flow. It's true that Sender-ID is required to get out of the Bulk folder, but having Sender-ID is no guarantee that they think your mail server is trustworthy. In other words, Sender-ID is a bunch of busy work that really has no effect on your mail delivery rates at the site that fucking invented it. It's just another useless hoop to jump through. They don't trust it at all.
Anyone can report any email as spam to Spamcop, whether it is spam or not. Anyone can even mistakenly report any email as spam to Spamcop, and it will be treated as spam. The sender will get a nasty-gram from Spamcop with the original recipient redacted, same as what happens for actual spam. Having reported an email to Spamcop is not proof that it is spam. It is proof that it was reported to Spamcop, and nothing else.
2) looking at the URL in the status bar before clicking on a link - Apple: I love you, but you SUCK for having the status bar off by default in Safari.
No, the first browser that showed the URL sucked way more, because now we have to BRAND the goddamn domain name and trademark it and all the crap that came out of that. No, the Internet would be a much better place if URLs were zealously hidden from the user from the beginning. Apple was on the right track, but the horse was already out of the barn. Too late to close the door.
The NoScript extention makes it easy to deny Javascript and embedded objects by default, then allow temporarily or permanently when I visit a site that doesn't work without it. It prevents Web2.0 ambushes, flash ads, popups, and all the rest of those Web 2.0 annoyances.
Why does a search results page need "Web 2.0?" It's just a list of links. Browsers have been able to follow links since Web 0.1alpha.
Sharp's Actius MM10 notebook (review, run Gentoo on it) is about 6 years old now, and it's just as thin as the Intel prototype. It had one of the first Transmeta chips, the Crusoe at 933Mhz. I own one, and it still gets used to this day. It runs Linux now, because only that OS supports WPA2 with its wireless chipset (Prizm2). I love this thing so much that when it's display got damaged I payed for an out-of-warranty repair.
The newer MM20 model is slightly thicker, has a built-in optical drive, and runs a Transmeta Efficeon core.
I totally understand the frustration at times and having to perform Windows updates constantly...
You never said that until now. You pointed out Microsoft's "historic dodgy and wholly untested releases" not the fact that you have to get updates to fix that.
No one can deny however that their software works and it works well.
It's trash. It gets used only because there are apps for it. If those apps ran on Linux, you can bet everyone would switch to Linux. No one gives a crap about Windows. Windows just the shit people have to put up with to run most of the programs they need. Vista will change a lot of that, though, since it won't run many programs people need, like unencumbered HD media players.
I must admit I am not the biggest fan of Microsoft's historic dodgy and wholly untested releases... but i fail to understand the constant barrage of criticism against the MS OS's.
Well there you go: you're a bundle of contradictions, just like your husband said you were.
"At least the space program gave us Tang. At least the space program gave us Tang." And I suppose that computer you're using is made of stone knives and bear skins? Open your eyes man! Especially if you've had LASIK surgery to correct nearsightedness. Neither computers nor the internet nor the delicate molecular manipulations of the cornea - made with lasers that are also guided by computers - would be possible without the insights gained from the kind of experiments that the LHC enable. And that's just what I can think of in the two seconds it takes to formulate a/. reply.
Way to not read the comment I'm replying to. My figure was for one 14 TeV collision. As the parent to my post out, there are many more particles accelerated to that energy level within the ring.
Oh, btw, the power consumption of the LHC only (excluding the detectors) is ~120MW.
I am pretty sure that most of that 120MW is used to power the electromagnets that confine the beams.
14 TeV is the amount of energy that is in a collision from two 7TeV beams colliding. In this case, the beam means particles (protons) accelerated to carry 7TeV of momentum. But that's just one "particle". The LHC, there are many "buckets" of particles being stored and collided and the total stored energy around the whole ring is 360MegaJoules. It is fairly easy to calculate actually:
Yes, it is.:) It's just 6.23068624 × 10^-10 watt-hours. Of course, it's released over an extremely short time interval, which is why it seems so large when expressed in the less-familiar terms used in particle physics. But the actual energy released in the experiments is quite small compared to ordinary energy stores we're accustomed to using every day. Most of the juice is used to power the electromagnets and the other instruments.
Of course, if she really was a newbie who wanted to try Linux, she'd have bought a Dell computer with Ubuntu already installed. Or she'd have downloaded the default distro offered, which was 32-bit, and not had any of the 64-bit compatibility problems. Only because she wasn't really a newbie, but a tech journalist, did she mistakenly chose the 64-bit distro, which is where all her real problems came from: lack of commercial vendor support for 64-bit Linux.
Not only that, she knew her computer was 64-bit, and chose to install the 64-bit Ubuntu distro. That this was the source of the only real problems she had - lack of commercial vendor support for 64-bit Linux - also indicates she has graduated from the newbie state to the knows-just-enough-to-be-dangerous state.
This sounds an awful lot like ignorant creationist attacks on evolution.

MPEG4 HDTV uses AAC as to encode the audio channel. This is the same codec Apple iTMS sells their tracks in. You can think of them as mp4 audio tracks. It's state of the art, same audio quality as any HDTV broadcast. Nobody is getting short-changed on audio quality by iTMS.
Dvorak, put away those leaves, they aren't tea leaves.
Sun buying AMD is much more likely and actually makes sense. Sun's SPARC design is at the end of its life and the company is nearing the end of its transition to the x86 architecture. Sun knows how to run a chip business, server business and software business, and wants to keep running those businesses. AMD has their chip. It's a good match.
