Is this the next competitor for the
Cye Robot? That one can already vacuum your floors, retrieve mail, and dance to music. Who knows, maybe the Palm could do all of that and be your next secretary that won't ask for a lunch break.
Looks like they had to find a way out. First, they tried asking the universities as a scapegoat for when the complaints or court rulings would roll in. Since that failed, there's only one other alternative, stack the deck. I can't wait to see what their review is.
So far I haven't read anything that has "exploited" Google's
technique, which is popularity based. Will someday some website create 1000 pages that each have a link, or links, to one site on each one? I don't think Google would be able to seek them out within the sea of pages in its billion-sized index.
It's probably all a matter of the possibility that if the university 'rubber stamps' the black box, 5 days later in the media, this appears: "Technology approved by MIT violated 540,392 civil rights issues". No one wants that. Furthermore as a quick sidenote, do they expect Carnivore to break into any Joe Schmoe's Hotmail account with SSL? I think not..
Try stressing the implications of the bug, how it affects everyone, and the magnitude of its effects. For example, without this patch will fail and users will be denied access to it. Hopefully people will perk up when they see that something will die soon if they don't patch it.
It seems that with the newer versions of Redhat, SuSE, Slackware, Debian, etc.. that they want to focus their marketing on personal desktops. Thus, that's where the code is being developed more. You don't see too many RedHat distro's default config'd for 4096 file descriptors. But I still think Linux has the potential, in most cases it needs some time to tweak and modify certain things. That's usually why BSD can handle it because you don't see too many people buying BSD distros at Best Buy like hotcakes.

Anyone think we'll still be here for when the sun goes out like a nightlight?
