so there has to be a resource out there that I'm missing. What is it?
Usenet. Get nget (excellent command-line client with source), buy an account on a premium server (easynews, and, if you're in Europe, Claranews), and use them and your ISPs server. It costs a little, and there's the uuencode overhead, but you don't have to waste all day searching for stuff.
I wish that hadn't been marked as funny. If they had been Palestins, there is no doubt every newspaper would have called them terrorists. Of course, because they're Israelis, soon to be fighting the holy war (/crusade) against terrorism, they're just misguided kids.
I mean he's just so right There's no way that Sn could outlive companies like VALinux or penguin computing!
You where this = close, but you still missed the point completely. Those companies where only two small paths of the Linux parallel evolution. There are at least hundreds of others. Loosing a few won't affect Linux. If Sun Inc dies, there's no more Sun.
So if someone steals GPL code, it's a horrendous crime worthy of getting everyone involved and posting to slashdot...but if it's proprietary code that's stolen, no one cares?
The difference is they didn't steal from "us" (the Open Source community), so it wouldn't be Slashdot news. It'd get kind of boring here if SD should post every time somebody sells an unlicensed copy of Windows.
Hopefully, the airline companies will soon try to implement real antiterror measures. Now they just have some useless ones to give the illusion of safety, so the customers don't stop flying.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I would prefer slower progress in favor of more careful, more tested releases.
There's a very easy solution: Just wait for a while before you upgrade. That way you can decide for yourself how long you think the code should be tested before want to use it.
For professional newsserver providers like these, uncensored generally just means they don't try to filter out spam. Other than that, they will not remove anything, except for Newsguy, which will remove the message, and end your subscription (giving you a refund for the remaining days), if you write a message saying anything bad about them. I doubt these services will like to filter for copyright, as it's generally the only reason people will pay for their services.
When a box has been cracked, you need to do a complete reinstall, as you can never know what backdoors has been installed. Sure, you can remove RCII, but while it was active, it would only take even the dumbest script kiddie a couple of requests to install another backdoor.
The people who made this don't seem completely clueless, so I doubt there is much use. They will probably have listened for attacks from CR1, and only infected those. You may find them, and even the persons responsible for the servers, but considering the backdoor, it's unlikely there'll still be usable log files.
So, I doubt the IOC even seriously considered the human rights angle, but just made noises about human rights so watchdog groups would be happy.
While I have no illutions about IOC not being corrupt, I think this was the best thing that could happen to China. So far, only human rights groups and people who wanted cheap labor has had their eyes on China. Now they will get attention from everyone for several years, and they won't be able to hush thing down as easily. The only thing I'm wondering is why they want to do this to themselves, and why the Tibetian people didn't want it to happen. Now they'll get a chance to be in the news every week.
That if you distribute the Software in source code form you do so only under this License (i.e. you must include a complete copy of this License with your distribution), and if you distribute the Software solely in object form you only do so under any license that complies with this License.
Most likely, if they die, there is something wrong. If there was no known reason, people will want to find out what it is, so they can try to avoid it. Red Bull has a fairly big effect on the body, and it would be stupid not to check if this could have been the cause. I'm not quite sure what your actual point is. Do you think they should just dig them down and say that, "well, statistically, someone was bound to die, and it could just as well be them", and forget about it? Isn't it much better to do an autopsy and other research to try to find out?
I'm sure Iraq, China and others will really appreciate it. We'll provide them with a bunch of boxes, because their users had no incentive to secure them. Steve Gibson can probably tell you what happens next.
Many large companies employ lawyers to work independently to protect what they believe to be their intellectual property, with the lawyers basically being self-funding.
Then surely they must have known that these kinds of cases would be the result? You won't escape punishment just because you use a hired killer.
It looks like they probably won't be around much longer, thank god.
I guess this explains why they think they can get away with a licensing scheme that is per image made, so you have to buy new keys all the time. In Norway one image costs NOK 200, or about $22.
Bush and The US has managed to piss off just about every part of the world in just a couple of months. Kicking out 50 Russian officials, dumping the Kyoto agreement, saying the US will care less about wars in foreign countries. If he continues this way, I'll be happy if we're not back in the Cold War before he's out.
The article would be quite funny to read if it wasn't so new. It gave me the same sensation as watching those old atom age propaganda movies, which told us we'd be safe from the Bomb as long as we just hide under the kitchen table.
You seem to want to test if people who do well/badly in one field where strategic thinking is needed, will do similarly well/badly in another field where strategic thinking is needed? Sorry if this ruins the fun, but yes, somewhat depending on motivation, you'll find a correlation.
On the other hand, it has also kept soldiers out of countries where lots of people were or could have been killed, like Rwanda (wasn't that it?), Bosnia and Yugoslavia. The first was too poor to be bothered with, and in the others there were only bombing. The planes would fly very high, which made them unable to help or even see the people being lined up and shot. With a bunch of cheap planes flying over the treetops, and automatic precision aiming, it might be possible to actually pick out the bad guys.

A "Boeing Airbus A300"?

Shouldn't Slashdot at least correct the spelling in the submitted messages?
if records are public .. shouldn't there be a record of who has looked at the 'public records'?
Excellent idea! Add some "Top ten nosiest people" statistics, and things will probably control themselves.

Isn't this what MS likes to call a viral license?

But for some reason our culture always treats death as an annomoly, which must therefore have a proximate cause.
I don't know what your culture is, but here in Scandinavia, it is not normal for young, healthy people to suddenly just die.
I'm sure Iraq, China and others will really appreciate it. We'll provide them with a bunch of boxes, because their users had no incentive to secure them. Steve Gibson can probably tell you what happens next.

> Most of them aren't going anywhere. They're just stopping.
That's what I would have guessed too, initially, but MusicCity has three times more users than I ever saw on Napster.

Try the other one: Server 2

I really doubt this is very high on Amnestys list of things that needs to be freed in Malaysia.
