It's much easier to distribute open source crypto software than closed source in the U.S. You just have to send a couple of emails. Closed source crypto requires jumping through many hoops, and is much closer to "harassment".
No! It's F/OSS - all the Mozilla developers can go and offer paid support, write books, do some TV reality shows, and they'll make plenty of money! That's the whole business model of F/OSS, isn't it?
Level 3 owning two/8s makes sense, since networking is what they do. If I owned HP stock I'd be pissed if they simply gave back their/8s instead of leasing them. Same with GE, Xerox, Apple, IBM, or any other company in that list.
My memory of Deskpros is that they drew blood every time I opened one up. Sure, you could open the case "without need of a screwdriver" but it meant turning metal thumbscrews that were shaped suspiciously like, and were as sharp as, bits for a wood router. The insides were all razor-sharp, stamped metal patiently waiting to get near your wrist or a finger.
The overall impression was that Compaq hated their customers and wanted them to suffer.
$16 isn't a lot. However, I'm still going to apply for the settlement and will make it part of a larger donation to the local food bank and/or homeless shelter. I encourage you to do the same.
Ubuntu: Hey! I want to install some updates! Me: Make it so. Now go away. Ubuntu: I'm downloading them! Wheeeeee! Me: How joyful. Go away. Ubuntu: I'm installing the first update! Only eleven to go! Me: Great. Go away. Ubuntu: Second update! Me: Just. Go. Away. Ubuntu: Third update! I just love installing updates! Look at the pretty progress bar! Isn't it to die for? Me: @#$!!!!@**#@ aaaaaAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!
It's been awhile since I used Ubuntu on my desktop. Is their software update utility still annoying?
Using Denyhosts and changing your default port adds layers of obscurity on top of existing security. Both are damn useful for reducing the number of real-world intrusion attempts on your system.
This is one of the reasons I use Postini. Dealing with crap like this is now Someone Else's Problem, and that someone happens to be a large, resourceful corporation.
On that note, in my opinion Chrome Frame itself serve's little to none purpose. If you can install it, you could install the actual Chrome (or some other) browser aswell.
There are quite a few companies locked in to IE 6 right now due to requirements from internal applications. I think Chrome Frame would be pretty attractive in this sort of environment. Instead of spending money and resources upgrading your apps you can deploy CF on your desktops and give your users a browser that runs as IE 6 internally and doesn't suck otherwise.
It's also attractive to web developers. I added the CF meta tag to my site as soon as I heard about it. The fewer users using the IE 6 renderer the better.

It's not a registered trademark. You have plenty of rights over a mark even when you haven't registered it.
A day or two? And people wonder why the Apple store is popular.
What if I want a Comic Sans?

Why not go all the way and write a web server in sh?
My favorite Linux calculator:
function math
{
echo "scale=2 ; $*" | sed -e "s:x:*:g" | sed -e "s:,::g" | bc
}
$ math 12,147.2 x 3

How does /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat ban my IP address?
A working static analyzer. Clang is almost there but generates way too much cruft to wade through.
More mature fuzzing tools would be handy too.

Not if you're Snort, Asterisk, or Wireshark.
Absolutely! Sourcefire, Digium, and CACE are killing Snort, Asterisk, and Wireshark respectively!
Oh wait. No, those are actually examples of companies and open source projects forming beneficial ecosystems.

It's documented in CVE-1999-1228 but I'm sure it's much older than that.

It looks like you can disable this behavior if you have an account. I haven't tested it extensively but it seems to work as advertised.

Because each parent company answers to a different set of investors?

They already can.
How does that work for PortableApps or U3 packages?

"IPv6 is an interesting discussion and one that occupies a lot of bandwidth at Cisco."
So why can't I get to www.cisco.com via IPv6?
Doesn't matter. Not even for Apple fans
If we're going to make this about personal property then let's go all the way. I want my financial and health information DRMed.
