After the doctor told me that unless I started to exercise more, I was going to have to go on blood pressure medication (at age 25), I started cycling. I found the best way to get me going was to buy some geek gadgets to help me get excited. Garmin make some nice GPS bike toys which monitor your heart rate, altitude, position, etc and allow you to load it up to your PC afterwards via USB. They also make a wrist watch version.
Anyone who has even done basic high school statistics can tell you that the numbers in these reports are absolutely statistically insignificant. They don't mean a thing.
How can you get a 0.1% false negative rate when 30% of spam is getting through?
He isn't saying that 30% of spam is getting through.... He is saying that they are blocking 70% of their incoming mail as it is spam. That means that 30% is determined to be real mail.
It is NOT fully legal to do that. The EULA allows you to only use the software on the machines which you pay for. If you violate that, you are breeching their trademark for 'RedHat'.
You can get the SRPM packages, remove all references to RedHat, and recompile. Then you can do what you want.
I have noted the points you made - as well as the vigorous debate on
Slashdot.org about this article.
Well, Stephen Evan's weekly "stateside" column is not a news story, but
an analytical look at major events and business trends in the United
States.
It is, of course, debatable whether MyDoom/Novarg/Shimgapi was written
just to bring down the SCO website, or whether the installation of
spamming tools on numerous computers was an additional - or even the
main - motive.
That was not the point of Stephen's article.
In his piece he wanted to draw the attention of BBC News Online's
audience - many of whom are unlikely to know the ins and outs of the
Open Source debate - to the rapid spread of Linux as a commercial
application, SCO's attempts to cash in on this fact, and the deep anger
that SCO has caused within the Linux community through its legal
actions.
Stephen is not the first to draw the link between MyDoom and SCO's
actions over Linux - plenty of others have done that before, including
virus experts.

The best and most full featured cobol compiler/runtime I've seen. Very good capabilities, includeing seamless thin client support, Native Windows GUIs (Java runtime in development), distributed applictaions, etc. We moved our product from Microfocus to AcuCobol a few years ago.
Typical slashdot.... Don't give microsoft credit. It's not Mike Jones from microsoft... it's just Mike Jones. If it was any other research house, i'm sure it would have been there. But what else do you expect from Slashdot? I suppose just posting it is a step in the right directection towards no bias news.
If you look in the relesase notes, it states that they although the XFree86 version has been boosted to 4.10, they no longer support DRI:(
Does anyone know why they would possibly do this? One of the features of 7.0, was that you could get DRI working out of the box. They even back ported it to a 2.2 kernel so they could do this.
Seems odd to me.

7 hours? Is that all you can do? We managed a 3 day outage earlier this year at the Ho Chi Minh City stock exchange.

I can access it from both work and my hotel in Beijing.
I, too, am in a hotel, and it works fine. I'll try it again in an hour or so when I get to work.
I can tracert the IP from the article.

I think that big drop at the beginning has more to do with the .com bust... Take a look at this comparison:

If, like me, you need to use a proxy server in Sunbird, but found that it doesn't allow you to set one up, you have two choices:
Use the thunderbird/firefox calendar plugin instead
OR
Copy the network.proxy parts of your thunderbird/firefox prefs.js file into your sunbird prefs.js file.
What is the point of this unrealistic benchmark? If you desined & built your database properly, there should be an index!
No need for a linux release..... Read the article:
Note that this only affects users of Mozilla and Firefox on Windows XP or Windows 2000
See any similarities?
