You are allowed to put non-free firmware into the kernel and use it for yourself. But you are _not_ allowed to distribute this kernel, unless you license the firmware under GPL. Read the GPL carefully. Derived work has to be licensed under the same conditions as the original work - which is GPLv2 for the Linux kernel code.
Which way you insert code - either GPL code into non-free code or the other way round - simply makes no difference.
what you describe is not artificial intelligence, but an expert system. many people mix these, although it should be obvious that "intelligence" cannot be expressed in a ruleset.

afaik, both are served by linux. difference is, microsoft's site is served by a really huge world wide cluster (by akamai, only front servers are linux).
to explain your "no viruses (theoretically)" - i don't think that's even theoretically possible for viruses which are vb scripts, executed by outlook or whatever application. outlook is signed and approved to run on the host - why should palladium be able to help here? hey the virus IS approved through outlook.
imagine your home is mounted with "-o noexec" - but/usr/bin/perl can be executed. you can still run perl scripts located in your home. the os knows nothing about perl being an interpreter for scripts.
you mean, there is a kernel implementation of the NFS daemon. There is also one which runs purley in userspace, but on Linux, it is not used very much anymore nowadays.
There is smbclient in userspace (which is similar to an FTP client), but if you want to mount an SMB share into the linux VFS, you need the kernel module - like you need the NFS kernel module if you want to mount an NFS filesystem.
sorry, that's wrong. It's handled by software, no special hardware or interrupt involved. By default, it's handled by the BIOS keyboard driver and performs a soft reboot. The BIOS keyboard driver recognizes Ctrl+Alt+Del by simply testing whether all three keys are pressed - in simple plain software!
what if your ssh-starter-daemon contains a security hole?
I believe that sshd, even after those two recent holes, is much more secure than any new code you might write now. Your code may be full of holes, more likely than another hole in sshd.
Don't panic - upgrade sshd every time a hole is found, it's not that often compared to most other software.
Sorry for the German text, I shared this repository of Debian Packages (unstable packages ported to Woody, compiled with gcc-3.2 and CPU optimizations) only with my German friends till now...

Interesting point, a design flaw in EJB itself... I thought of this many times. I never use code generators, OTOH I don't work on such projects, and I would hate to do it.
Code generation is a kind of compression. i.e., the generated source code has a very high redundancy level. This is what I criticize about code generators: when the generated code is redundant, why not create a better language which expresses my ideas in a non-redundant way?
The "real" code for your EJB's is stored in GUI forms, not in the code itself... but I want to write my code in a plain text editor. I think I would accept some kind of "super-high level" language which compiles into the redundant Java source code.. the "more geek way" to do it?
that's it. Every morning, I go to work by bike. That's 15 km each way. More than enough sports to stay in shape.
Oh, one thing is: it's dangerous. Some weeks ago, I parked by bike in a taxi, whose driver didn't see me coming. His fault, 810 euros damage at my bike. His insurance pays. Still annoying.
No idea, but one question that springs to mind is how do software companies in Germany operate - do software developers employed by companies still retain the copyright to what they write?
The grandparent is right, here in Germany you cannot transfer "Urheberrechte" (copyright). But you can transfer "Nutzungsrechte", i.e. rights to use/modify/distribute the software. When you sign a contract as programmer, you keep your copyright, but you give away everything else.
E.g. you cannot sell the rights to keep your name in the source code - your company must not remove your name if you demand them not to.
Maybe you can deduce from this that you can GPL your software, but you can't put it into the public domain like grandparent said.. interesting thought, really.
just a troll. IMHO, httpd2.0.x is better than 1.3.x, codebase is more flexible, a nice piece of software. For me, 2.0 is clearly a step forward. Sooner or later, you will migrate to 2.x. Do it now. (I'm developing httpd2.0 modules all day in my job..)

prove. don't forget to attach your definition of "intelligence".

Zehn kleine UNIX Zeilen
Reicht man ein zur Klage.
Die eine die auf griechisch war,
War leider viel zu vage.
Neun kleine UNIX Zeilen
Sollten es begrunden.
Die eine war trotz groBter Muh'
In LINUX nicht zu finden.
Acht kleine UNIX Zeilen
Dienten zum Beweise.
Die eine war aus BSD,
Pech fur Anwalt Heise.
Sieben kleine UNIX Zeilen,
Kamen vor Gericht.
Die eine war 'ne Fehlernummer,
Die taugte dazu nicht.
Sechs kleine UNIX Zeilen,
Sollten es belegen.
Doch eine kam zur GPL
Durch SCO Kollegen.
Funf kleine UNIX Zeilen
Waren noch dabei.
Die eine kam von einem Band
Mit Aufschrift System Drei.
Vier kleine UNIX Zeilen,
Doch eine, sonderbar,
Gehorte nicht zum dem Programm,
Sie war ein Kommentar.
Drei Kleine UNIX Zeilen,
Waren das Problem.
Eine war zwar System Five,
Doch kam von IBM.
Zwei kleine UNIX Zeilen,
Waren noch geblieben.
Die eine war schon reichlich alt
Und kam von System Sieben.
Eine kleine UNIX Zeile
Wurde angefuhrt.
Die hatte Linus Torvalds selbst
Am Anfang programmiert.
Ohne eine UNIX Zeile
Kann SCO nichts machen.
Doch eines muss man zugestehn:
Wir hatten was zu lachen.
Schlussbemerkung:
Hier zeigt sehr schon ein Kinderlied,
Warum McBride die Wahrheit mied.

XML was not supposed to replace HTML... XHTML was. that may be a flop, ok. XML itself is not a flop.
ATM is also not a flop. it is currently very widely used, we only call it xDSL (ADSL, SDSL).
where I live, there are 5+ unencrypted unsecured WLANs at any place. why in hell should I pay even one cent?
please set up more mirrors, for obvious reasons!

/usr/bin/perl can be executed. you can still run perl scripts located in your home. the os knows nothing about perl being an interpreter for scripts.
imagine your home is mounted with "-o noexec" - but
variations? ok, there are many, that's called technological advance. but scsi _always_ kept backwards compatibility.
wow, that was really an entertaining read!

Choose one of the sources.list lines depending on your CPU, insert it into your sources.list, update, upgrade, and you're safe.
I applied the patch from http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv to the original 3.6 Debian package from testing.
