CCCP is a console front end to the Direct Conect Text Client. DCTC is a library that gives access to the direct connect world. CCCP is a console based front end to that library. CCCP is designed to allow both scripting and command line interaction.
Remember also that a lot of Linux boxes crawl when the updatedb is executed via Cron (this is the nearest thing to Windows' antiviruses in behavior.)
Agreed. So much in fact, that whenever I hear the drive start some big whirring I haven't anticipated, I reflexively switch to a root console and do a "killall updatedb". The whirring stops immediately.
Also, when I'm not lazy, I edit it out or reschedule it to 2 am every Sunday.
IMHO a daemon that gets notified of file changes would be much more fun.
Windows 7 will be still the bloated pig of an OS that Vista was (and is), but hardware and time has caught up so that now, it runs at a reasonable clip on the latest hardware.
To put this in perspective: I just installed Debian (latest) on a 2 GHz Celeron with 256 Mb RAM and 80G harddrive. Runs KDE3 with firef^H^H^H^H^Hiceweasel fine. Now tell me about bloat.
And don't tell me it's too old, the kernel is 10 days old.
The apple is content. The farmer consumed the content, made copies and is now sharing those copies with others.
The farmer can still use that apple. So can the original creator of the apple.
Problem is, the original creator wants to be the only one, who can sell or even give away apples. They also want to connect traditional farmer activities to stealing shit on the high seas.
And Slashdot tilts way to the right. If you think it's left, then...
The whole concept of left-right politics is bullshit. There are more than two opinions in any given discussion, and trying to judge them by measuring them to two "ideals" is just a good way, to limit your freedom of thought.
Besides, I'm standing upside down, not tilted to any direction.
At the same time I pity everyone who has to work in such an environment, where people are actually more concerned with covering their backs and blame shifting games rather than overall performance increase and setting security standards.
Yes, it appears to be more secure... until you realize that you don't have to crack the CURRENT password. You can crack any of the sequence and then have a pretty good idea what the current one is.
So, how does an outside attacker crack a password that is no longer valid?
Also, if you have a previous password, it cannot be brute-forced. You need a human on the other end to guess what the current password is.
but making it more expensive to patent things only helps the large companies that can afford it, not the small companies that might have some big ideas.
Exactly. How about, say, 0,1% of last year's profit per year per patent?
People who whine about these being "irresponsible" or "bad for security" always seem to forget that the bad guys may already have written stuff like this and are putting it to use. By publishing this software, it makes everyone aware that it's never safe to turn a blind eye to poor security practices.
Absolutely. However, they also make it easy for casual attackers. Never underestimate a horde of script kiddies with a good script.

and even if you gave them broadband for free they still wouldn't be interested.
Until they find the porn.

Should make bargaining for licences easier.
It would totally have to be based on RedHat.
Or Red Flag.
Watch porn in a virtual machine.
Best. Diagnosing. Tool. Ever.
Thank you. :)

the average amount of spam a user sees is nearing zero.
Try using freemail.hu, you insensitive clod!
How much did that cost them?
Microsoft, or the apache committers?
Thus my point that they are not particularly worried about Canonical itself, just about open source in general.
Sorry, reading failure on my part.
Canonical is not their problem, just a symptom.
But I doubt a $30M company scares them much.
Way to miss the point. Linux is not about money, and that, my friend, is what they are afraid of.

Which part of "[The mutation's] effects don't occur until after the childbearing years." did you fail to grasp?
Ok, so it's a population control mechanism, not a natural selection one.
That doesn't address all the other stuff - software that you can still reuse, stuff with an upgrade path to new version.
I bet wine will run more apps than Win 7 on 7's release day.
Finally, someone sees the light. Do they have Linux games? I might just sign up.
Also, tag suddenoutbreakofcommonsense.

What a retarded headline. Would it have killed someone to write it as "Soyuz 4 and 5 Made History 40 Years Ago Today"?

Amen. CYA is the new national anthem.
- Expecting the site to dis Microsoft or to have to address this in a comment.
We have a new Godwin. "In any slashdot discussion, the likelihood of dissing Microsoft approaches one."

The record companies survived that time period just fine, and they can survive its rebirth.
I hope not. I want good music :(
Shouldn't be hard to add Opera to the disc image either.
Yeah, until all the other browsers in existence start complaining. I want Konqueror on that image as well!

you all end up as lampshades or soap.
Oooh, I always wanted to be a lampshade!
I'm curious as to what the costs of training a single pilot are, and even more to see a comparison of the average pilot skills vs an AI pilot.
Factor in the cost of losing one as well.
You can't just copy a dead pilot, you know.
