I think he meant to say: "We'll be owning Linux no later than the summer, so we'll be running the whole business of Linux." I can't really back that up, unless you take the fact that Larry Ellison said it as proof;)
Seriously, this would be good for Linux in the big picture. Most of us would stick with our MySQL and PostgreSQL servers, but with Oracle...Enterprise credibility goes up. Additionally, all the industry behemoths (AOL/TW, Oracle) would fare well to bolster Microsoft's competetors.
I might burn some Karma for saying this, but Linux is symbolically a pawn, being used by the giant corporations for leverage against their current giant corporation rivals.
I also wonder how market share affects this. Linux is growing in the server market. Oracle isn't being used in these machines. Which means less money for Ellison. I wonder how this will work out. Any suggestions?
If you're looking for an older-style sound, say...like a cheap clock radio, i'd definetly recommend a Sparc Classic. With 8-bit & 11kHz you can't go wrong. But, if that's not in the cards, I'd recommend finding a nice 10" monitor like they have for grocery store checkouts. Couple that with a box the size of a classic with a nice sound card and you'd do fine. Not the most portable, but I assume you'd haul it to point B, set it up, play some tunes, take it down, drive back to A. Really not that much work I'd think.
Let's just hope they handle their money a little better than @Home.

Am I the only one who notices that every week/. posts a news article about Intel or someone coming up with supar-dupar-mega-fantabulous technology that we never hear about again?
I'm not a security expert by any means, but...here is my list of horrible things to run:
1. sendmail 2. bind 8 3. Wu-ftpd.
There are replacements for each. Djbdns will give you $500 (IIRC) if you find an exploitable bug in their code. Proftpd, lukemftp, and the bsdftpd are all *much* better replacements for Wu-Ftpd. Sendmail...i can't remember, but there are replacements.
Nevertheless, bind should be run in a chroot jail. Doing things like that makes a bind hole useless. Please uninstall Wu-ftpd and use a replacement. Finally, if you don't need to run it, DON'T!
I got an e-mail from Timmy-bin Hashareef. He has cancer of the appendix. It said for every time you forwarded his e-mail, the Afghanistan chapter of the American Appendix Society would donate little Timmy 3 cents and a camel. It also said that if you didn't forward the e-mail, you would get beaten by the Taliban. SEND OUT THE WORD KATZ! THIS IS 274% TRUE!
haha I want a pink slip with Katz's name on it for Christmas.
Most club/party DJ's spin vinyl. They don't spin mini-disc, cd's, or mp3's. Why? because it's real. If this doesn't make sense to you, then you're just out of luck.
ICANN would like to replace the root DNS systems with secured servers.
Ok, how long before someone at ICANN suggests that the servers should maintain domain to ip mappings in static files. Something like a file called hosts and that could be stored in/etc. Then, a patent would be granted for "a static internet address to domain name mapping system" and "a static domain name to internet address system"
Sorry, I'm just in a sarcastic mood given the fact that they actually use bind. Does anyone find that a little scary?
I know it's been brought up here on/. before, but there are many people who run their own DNS roots, underground dns if you will. Anyone have any links?
'If it becomes hard to release vulnerabilities, that's a good way for Microsoft to get rid of some embarrassment.' -- Marc Maiffret, eEye Digital Security from the Security Focus article
That's just plain funny. You know only those people in the 'group' know how to code exploits. Imagine what would happen if just *anybody* could code an exploit? It would what Scott Culp, manager of MS's security response center, calls "information anarchy";)
I don't mind if they do this, it will show how incorrectly the 'security by obscurity' paradigm works.
I get tired of CS too. I'm about 2 semesters away. Some classes have great professors where you enjoy the classes and the projects because they are challenging. Other times (Tue-Thur @5:30) I'll have a professor that just reads power point slides and has midterms that are closer to DB vocabulary tests than DB process and design. In any event, I started learning stuff I wanted to learn on my own. Messing with sockets and gtk+ and other stuff. The reason CS gets boring is that a lot of the problems you solve in classes are miles from fun. Take the Travelling Salesmen problem. I'm sure almost everyone in CS has to do it at sometime or another. It's an interesting problem, but coding it isn't. So, long story short: my advice is to look into areas of programming you havn't tried and give them a shot. It could just be that the stuff you're doing isn't for you.
I don't care if Loki has to give their children away, JUST FUCKING PORT COUNTER-STRIKE. You know how many dual-boot win/linux systems would become 100% linux systems if they could play COUNTER-STRIKE? Sure, they probably don't want to license it to them. KIDNAP THEIR CHILDREN IN THE NIGHT. I don't care. All i care about is being able to deagle the CT's on a linux box.
There is a certain theory my friend proprosed though. If people could play counter-strike on windoze, programming would stop for everything. No new linux kernels (unless it improved CS), no new mozilla, no new anything (unless it improved CS). Now...one has to ask one's self: would that really be a bad thing?
I called Louis Armstrong's "What a wonderful world" as something that would incite violence. Perhaps I should have explicitly stated that I was being sarcastic. I know the Cure song doesn't advocate violence towards arabs, (didn't know the Camus reference though) but If you look at the list, some just have words that don't 100% look kosher. At face value, "Killing an Arab" looks worse than "All Rage Against the Machine songs"
Why won't someone port these to linux? Microsoft Operating Systems seem to have a monopoly in this field. For now, if you read this in a *nix, just portscan your netmask and a few others and try a few old wu-ftp exploits.

My stuff probably isn't that good. But Kosmic and some of these other groups have really good stuff. They even sell CD's. Why don't you go take a listen for yourself? Also, I *do* put out DJ promos which people *do* enjoy. I can't sell them though. But, fair-use lets me distribute them for no profit.
It is about time. I make music with various trackers and midi crap. I give the music away. Anyone who remembers the old Amiga mod scene should welcome such. Take a look at some free music: www.kosmic.org (they've done it all. from 2 channel mods to 32 channel xm's released in mp3 format. These guys rock. Too bad I can't find old Future Crew releases)
This is our answer to the big music companies that want to revoke our rights. "Thanks, but no thanks. I'll find my music elsewhere.
This is usually where I spout about OpenBSD, (hehe guess this is a setback for you BSD-Dying trolls...) but I wonder why/who choose OpenBSD? I've recently 'played' with the grsecurity patches for 2.4.9 and I like them. A lot of them give OpenBSD-ish features to linux, but some extend what OpenBSD currently provides. The only reason I bring this up, is that >2.9 (aka -current and future releases) does not have ipf. The pf project (OpenBSD's own packet filter) replaces ipf. But, 3.0 comes out in Decemeber....Wonder how it will all turn out....
I applaud your devotion to your intellectual integrety, which would never let such a (sarcastic) statement, with obvious informational flaws, go unnoticed!
Pat yourself on the back and put a sticker of a dancing bear on your shirt and wear it proud for the rest of the day. Until you have to go and correct Jay Leno about a Dubbyah joke.
And lastly, NSA, FBI, CIA, etc.: same octopus, different tentacles. The only reason the NSA and the CIA didn't create carnivore, is because the FBI beat them to it. If you were in the illuminati, you would know. (yes, i've left you a chance to correct me again! Just state that the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati no longer exists and that the US government is actually controlled by Zionists and Masons. Then, you can call me an idiot again. It will be fun!)

Like New Optical DSPs With Tera-ops Performanc
Or Intel Cites Breakthrough In Transistor Design
Perhaps Clockless Chips
Not forgetting Intel Promises A Cool Billion (Transistors)
Notwithstanding Intel Claims Smallest, Fastest Transistor
But who could forget Intel Claims 10Ghz Transistor
Which looks a lot like Intel Says 10GHz By 2005
But is just as vapor as Intel Creates 30-Nanometer Transistors
or my personal favorite: Intel Goes for Display Encryption
How can they get any work done when they're too busy telling us what they predict in a bajillion years?
