I'll believe the hype when I see the geeks using it turn buff. Not that I'd put down my doughnut and use it.

15 years ago Yahoo! destroyed broadcast.com, something that was better than YouTube will ever be. Now they have decided to start broadcast.com minus the in-house professionals that encoded and streamed the content for you. In April 1999, Yahoo! acquired the company for $5.7 billion (or over $10,000 per user) in stock and renamed it ...

I've been dreading having to roll that big'ass barrel of unused XP CD's out the door. That thing is freakin heavy.

Where is the large Navy port in Texas? Where is there water deep enough for a ship in New Mexico.

Run a minimalistic Linux box? Check.
Put software on a virtual disk so I can chroot with a restriction to the device? Check.
Build software statically linked to the libraries in the build directory so they don't need access to the rest of the system? Check.
Know that it would be popular and might make monies? Doh!

You say that like its a bad thing.

I would think that would be obvious since "all the good people" go to Yale.

I used to tell people working for a startup was the best experience they will ever have. My first two were great. However, I've been burnt twice too. After dedicating every waking hour to a startup only to see it get sold and not getting anything but the salary while you've worked there is bullshit. The only thing I can say about being a startup employee now days is, "Get in writing that you are a partner". If they say no, walk away. Don't ever believe someone will give you a fair share out of the goodness of their heart. Those people have moved on to owning basketball teams or starting new companies with really stupid names so all they do all day is golf.

I think the areas involved tells a story of its own. Check out the map of participants at the bottom.

Has anyone seen a TOS that does not give the company rights of ownership of you, yours, and all things associated with everything else they can cram into the TOS? I've often wondered why TOS are so wordy. I would simply write, "Do you confirm that you are our bitch and everything yours is now ours?".

It doesn't sound all that different. Everyone wanting to stay proprietary has a separate firmware to load by the module; but, the proprietary module has a few more whistles than the one from the community. Is this not the same thing?

Selling things is stupid when you can rent it. The smart move would be to lease it out to companies that want to act as service providers. It gives more control to us, gives "our kids a say", and makes money until it is obsolete.

Now if we could keep finding new doctors where each new doctor does the job for 25% less then the old one until the cost is 25% of what it originally cost... hmmm. Then we'd have doctors that suck as bad as new code and outsourced tech support.

1st, tell the whore that is fucking you in the ass to climb down.

Nobody in the security sector that I know believes there is a relationship between the kernel version and the attacks. The only reason I could see anyone mentioning it is if they had some reason for people to see Linux negatively. The vast majority of IPS/Firewalls out there taking Ciso space in the datacenters are based on Linux. I do know no of any of them that are not running kernel 2.6.X.
