Re: Confused
It's the Microkia side. It's all a calculated move by Microborg, doing what they do best: shafting the competition by cooperating with them.

James Balog's extreme ice survey
It was in 32 colour mode, but with a lot more colours on screen. The beauty of old crappy (by today's standards) hardware was that it made programmers push the hardware beyond what should be possible.
For example you would change the 32 colour palette from one raster line to the next and have more colours than that on screen.
You probably mean BSD OS's.

Heisenbug is old school geek jargon.
I was playing CS:GO on a French server not too long ago, which had a guy screaming long streams of what sounded like Arabic into his microphone. I'm not sure if it was a player damning us to hell or a jihadi giving directions to his agents, probably both.
Comparatively little. Open relays were a problem in the 90s, but now the main issue is hordes of zombie PCs. Looking at the article attachment and own my mail and ssh logs confirms this: spam and probes come from home user PCs. It's fairly easy to confirm with whois lookups and hostnames which contain clues like "dialup", "ras", "dynamic" and such.
This is also relevant to using iptables: it is helpful for ssh probes but not so much spam.
MS is not buying all of Nokia, just devices and services (phones and Ovi to you and I).
Nokia will use that cash and extra MS cash to help pay off loans it took to buy Siemens out of NSN.

Do you mean extraction operations that line the pockets of local elites? Or "aid" of which 90% goes back to domestic contractors, kills competing local businesses and creates dependence on foreign aid?
Or do you mean investment in businesses that actually help foster the local economies? Yeah, I'm really interested in hearing about *those* trillions.
RHEL (and CentOS) are meant to be used in enterprise environments where things don't change quickly. This means Red Hat maintains an "old" version of a software component way after others have upgraded, religiously backporting patches to make sure it's secure. In other words stuff like BIND and openssh will have ancient version numbers, but still be up to date.
If you want cutting edge, either compile the software yourself or use another distro. I like CentOS myself.
Computer != PC. The article mentions servers, and the small setup in the video is just a demo. Hint: connecting to a pipe system allows you to store and transport the heat further than your server room (or bedroom in your case). Large scale examples of using heat from servers exist..
If you're concerned about wind turbines having an effect on wind:
- Be concerned about the impact of cutting trees and deforestation
- Be concerned about the impact of urban buildup and tall buildings
- Think about the natural variation in wind resistance from hills, mountains, lakes and oceans
'Many have failed to understand that in a corporate world very little is open source, and corporate guarantees are more important than "openness and fluffy ideals".'
Openness is not fluffy ideals. It's savings in money. What you call corporate guarantees is also known as vendor lockin, which is costs big money to companies. The IT business world is all about vendors trying to lock you in and smart customers fighting it.
'I challenge you Linux obsessed to find a corporation that runs on key software that isn't in some way either bought from a big corporation or written almost entirely internally.'
And why do some opt to develop their key software internally? To avoid vendor lockin, but it's expensive. The third alternative is to demand open standards from your vendors. You know, those "fluffy ideals" you write about. Secondly, it's not either big corporate or open source. Big corporations use, contirbute to, sell and promote open source. If you haven't seen or read about it you're totally of the picture.
Sadly so many commenters here think IT = Desktop and by extension Linux = Desktop. Everything from your Android phone to your wireless router and Sony TV are running on Linux. *That* is the context you should think about when considering the stupidity of tying down the Linux kernel with specifics of one platform like secure booting a PC.
Good point, in fact Reported by tadazmas on 2012-08-23
You cannot find Slackware under officially supported OS's for Oracle, EMC or any other "enterprise" software or hardware vendor, while RHEL is always listed. Good luck with that support call to any of those 3rd parties with your in house Linux setup.
In short, big enterprises buy RHEL.
The police were doing what the law requires them to. The law says attempted infringement is also punishable. See Lex Karpela (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_Karpela) - thanks to the EU directive, in turn probably lobbied into effect by Hollywood and the global music industry.

If someone is to blame, it's the industry associations in Finland, Europe and worldwide.
