The goal is not to get the company to open source their firmware, just to license it in such a way that it can be legally distributed with OpenBSD, an operating system that prides itself on being 100% free.
Wait a minute, this is coming from an organization that forbids people from sharing ISOs of their "official" CD set? Instead forcing people to pay $40 for an Official CD-ROM version of their OS?
I mean, I'm all for them charging money in order to support themselves, but don't call it 100% free. Call it, 97.1% free.
I'd mod you up if I had points, but alas, I will expand on what you said.
I believe that a greater focus on language skills earlier in the educational process will yields better results later on because it will provide a better foundation for learning. In other words, science would be much easier to learn with a greater demand of the language.
As far as being multilingual, who decides what the student's second language should be?
How can you complain about outragious prices on one hand, and admit they have cheaper models on the other?
Well, it was a half attempt a humor, but god forbid anybody poke fun at Apple, god damn.
Is like a cult...

The Cult of Mac

· Score: -1, Flamebait
With entry level PowerMacs ringing in at $1,499 without monitor, you too can find a cult to give all of your money to.
(Disclaimer: I know you can get cheaper Macs, and even used Macs are still usable, but one does have to wonder if the outrageous prices reflect the target audience)
I am going to sign up on this site, and promise to vote for Kerry in exchange for a vote for Badnarik. But then when I get to the polls, I'm going for Badnarik anyway. I mean after all, whats better than a vote for Badnarik? Two votes for Badnarik!
I believe there are treaties against regulating space. Which means Congress should be careful, any overregulation will result in the operations moving out of the country.
Most likely, AT&T will stick with Windows, because Microsoft is addressing many of problems associated with its desktop software, including security flaws that leave it particularly vulnerable to viruses, Dickman said.
Just because Microsoft is addressing its problems doesn't mean they are going to solve them any time soon, nor does it mean they are going to disclose all of their vulnerabilities.
An AT&T spokesman said in the article, "AT&T is not actively seeking to replace Windows". Which is quite the contradiction from the article's title, "AT&T looks into closing its Windows". Of course, since when has CNet been the pinnacle of journalism.
The wife is a manager at the local Wally Mart, and she says that the long line policy is still in effect. They will get people from the floor if they are qualified to work on a register. However, when they run out of the registers or qualified people to run said registers, that policy is no longer possible.
Of course, this is slashdot, so unless you're anti-walmart, anti-bush, anti-microsoft, you'll never go anywhere, right?
We don't understand the whole story. Perhaps the opposing force was allowed to use CS because it was realized that the seals ditched their ABC equipment. Perhaps a commander wanted to teach his team a lesson?
Either way, CS gas can be toxic. They should have used something else.
Lunacy is interpreting a law that was intended to give disabled people access to buildings to mean a website has to be written a certain way.
Please remember, that this could have freedom of speech implications. This would be like requiring protestors to talk a certain volume, because some in the audience may not hear what he/she is saying.
As far as spirit of the law...since you can't tell me with 100% accuracy the spirit and intent of every congressman and senator who voted for this law, all we have to go on is the wording. And the wording does not support your position.
The first of the six secrets in this article was to "Spend More" on security. Thats funny, because someone else told us that THe most Secure Companies Spend the Least. Which would suggest that the idea of throwing money at a problem isn't always the best solution.
The second secret, seperating your data security from your IT people, is a good idea only when your data security people are as competent at the regular IT people. Which is very rarely the case, because we tend to want our best talent our fixing the VP's PCs. What usually ends up happening is the company has to bring in an outside contractor to do what the data security people are not capable of, and the data security people become "go betweens" with them.
The other 4 "secrets" aren't really secrets but simply good practices in the fields of penetration testing, and documentation.

I appreciate that the OS as available through FTP is 100% free, but don't quite agree with you on the comparison to Red Hat.
Instead, I would say that what OpenBSD does would be more like Linus saying that Redhat was the Official CD of Linux.

I'm not very funny, thats why. :P
Thank you, I did mean 'command'. But I think a greater focus on proof-reading one's posts would have solved that. :P

In SuSE's case, the "enterprise" version contains some proprietary Novell directory services and lack a lot of "standard" Linux software.
Can I come over for some red hot chili?
Isn't Fort Benning a military installation? Why wouldn't people be subject to screening before entering?
I'm sorry, but any article telling me to synergize isn't worth the electrons it came to me on.

When Slashdot first started these political stories, they promised to "do [their] best to be fair with story selection."
However, when stories like this are posted I begin to wonder if they truly had any intention of being fair in the first place.
politics stink.

Submarines only use GPS when at the surface, because GPS signals do not penetrate water.
I think I should have a right to know what kind of data a private organization has about me.
