The summary suggests that this has yet to be released, although the reviews on the linked site are all negative and all complain that Opera isn't as good as Safari. How do they know?.. Am I missing something?
or your right to demand source to the GPL stuff and redistribute it publically?
But this is all just wrong. There's no requirement to make GPL code public, you only need to make it available to the people that receive the binaries. So the researchers will likely be given some source code, but nobody has to release that to the rest of us.
I clicked reply to say that very thing. We use KT here at work, is very nice, and we're not the only ones. We'd also looked at Alfresco in the past, but KT won on a number of factors, including ease of use and installation.
Anyone stateside wanting one of these bad boys will have to wait patiently or hop on a transatlantic flight.
Just remember to take it out of your pocket before getting back on that plane.
I'd be interested in one without the knife as something to play with, but I'm not sure I want to carry all the rest of it around with me (I'm not some knife freak, but I want a USB stick to be just a USB stick).
I hung out with Bruce Schneier for a 1-hour talk once. If you want to scale up your paranoia further, you can do what he does: never let your computer touch a network or another person's hands. He has no wireless card, never plugs an ethernet cord into the slot, and never gives his compy to anyone else. Very difficult to sniff traffic that doesn't exist (but not impossible).
That must make keeping his blog updated tricky though...
The OSM response has been hugely impressive with commercial companies donating high quality imagery that has been mapped by volunteers around the world. The resulting data has also been put to some very good uses. See here for an early description.
Sounds like Mozilla is securing Firefox; I imagine the average Slashdotter would approve of Microsoft doing to the same to IE. I don' t think this is related to anti-competitive behaviour, it's just ensuring that plugins act as plugins and don't overstep the boundary into application code.
That seems to be a problem with using Xen and Ubuntu, rather than a problem with Ubuntu; Xen makes you run a modified kernel, so you're not, technically, running the Ubuntu LTS. It seems a little unfair, therefore, to blame Ubuntu for your problems;-)
If you ran KVM as your virtualisation platform, however, you could run stock Ubuntu LTS and suffer no drawbacks at all.
In fairness, it does sound like the failure of a single individual to get their home folder encryption running was picked up by El Reg and blown up out of all proportion.
Flickering screens? Yes, I saw that, but it was fixed by a fresh install rather than an upgrade.
There are some niggling bugs and lack of polish, but this isn't anything like Canonical Vista, despite what some people are hyping.
If it all comes at once, we could see a massive loss of life and property, especially as the problematic area lies in some of the poorest parts of the globe. In another 5000 years, we could be debating if the Savior Adibi Christ walked with elephants!
Except this is forecast to happen in roughly a million years time, so really you would say that in 1,000,500 years there might be such debates, if we haven't been wiped out by a comet, or zombies, or all gone to live on Mars. And, of course, you're also assuming that in a million years this sea will be "in some of the poorest parts of the globe". Not sure how you can look so far ahead...
They have NO RIGHT to tell me what I can or can't install their OS on.
I'm not an Apple user / customer, and can't see myself becoming one anytime soon, maybe that's why I fail to see why you're getting so excited by this? If you don't like what Apple do, don't but their products or use their OS; plenty of other people do like what the company does and pay for the experience. There's no need to stop using your indoor voice in what should be a fairly straight forward decision making process.
NAT/IP Masquerade has worked well for scaling IPv4 in every conceivable application to date
Except, of course, that isn't really true. I've had to try and run a VPN endpoint on a NAT'd host because our ISP wasn't giving us what they'd advertised. That wasn't fun and if more people are going to want to run VPNs in the future, we're going to need more IP addresses.
The only difference is that with a banana you aren't going to "accidentally" fire it and add a murder charge to the rap sheet,
Whilst I agree with you, you seem to be forgetting that it would be much easier to hold up a bank with a realistic replica gun than it would be to hold up the bank with a banana wrapped in a brown paper bag. I think that's quite an imporant difference.

However if you're not currently using anything, then yes go with the free (as in beer) option.
We pay for KT, but the free (as in Open Source) nature allows for some nice things, like integration with Zimbra.

Alliteration. I think it was deliberate. Shock news: Editors write headline to catch reader's attention ;)
Microsoft, Spring 2010.

According to TFA, Apple apparently replied with "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable". Harsh but fair.
Thank you Mr AC, this thread was a little short on jokes. I was shocked. It's good to see you swimming against the current.

I'd love to see something like Beagleboard that I could mount on the back of an LCD.
Et voila!
Good news, if you need some +5 comments for this article, you can find them here! The dupe system in action.
they've put in an anti-Slashdot referer rule on those images - was there an original article so we don't have to copy & paste?
Just click the link then hit F5 when it won't load. No referrers on a refresh...
The BBC has an article today - What happened to Second Life? Seems like a bad day of news for the decreasingly popular SL.
Sounds like Mozilla is securing Firefox; I imagine the average Slashdotter would approve of Microsoft doing to the same to IE. I don' t think this is related to anti-competitive behaviour, it's just ensuring that plugins act as plugins and don't overstep the boundary into application code.
so this would have to be an internal DOS attack realistically.
Just the thing you need if you don't like your IT staff and they've just rolled out a Windows Server 2008 box...
I'm sure the OP would still have asked what the title was about if it read "European Commission Formally Objects..."
God bless the colonies...

Fork it if you don't want to go corporate; plenty of people did that when MySQL went to Sun.
