So >that you are not at the nercy to the whims and >fancies of that particular vendor It makes good sense only sometimes. Consider this example: I am a company developing some solution for a specialised domain. I choose some OS and a commercial tool for the development from company X. I also buy the support package offered by that X. Well, during the development process we face many problems which are promptly dealt with by the support team at X. They also patch the product for a few of our specific needs. I find it a well worth investment for buying the tool from X. Replace X with Xanalys. The 'tool' was Lispworks. The guy who posted the above at c.l.l was Dave Bakhash and he was extremely satisfied with Lispworks and Xanalys. It helped him complete his (telephony product I think) ahead of schedule. The point is Commercial Proprietary Software per say is not evil. The Free Software Movement come from a Utopian spirit exibhited by some people. There is no need for one side to be evil for the other side to be 'good'. -------------------- You have missed the point. The point here is not good vs evil but about what one would prefer as businessman The example that you have given is not that common Anyways you don't get patches and updates within minutes/hours by any vendor. If they do they are very rare But this is common in the free software world as others on this group will testify. Although i agree,it is sometimes criminal to generalise I can take this liberty in this regard here as the evidence in favour of free software (in terms of support such as this mailing list) is overwhelmingly lopsided. --> Vinayak Hegde

[OT] the internet worm ...
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 07 Nov '02

07 Nov '02

Hi, Looking for a text file I had stumbled upon long ago - a first hand account of the discovery of the a worm long ago ... I don't think it was the Morris worm, but I distinctly remember the phrase "you have been nuked", mentioned by the author. I am pretty sure I picked up the URL from a discussion on this list ... really long ago ... maybe three years or so. Anybody remember?

People who are paranoid about spam (or just spam conscious) can obfuscate the addresses (if they want to put them in the body in the first place) themselves using simple techniques like quasar(at)vsnl(dot)com. quasi

Re: Re: [ILUG-BOM] Frame a LETTER OF INTRO.....calling on 1 and all

Also add the following points:- 1> compare GNU/Linux Movement to Science where access to research documents(here source code) is important for exchange of ideas. Also as in science peer review matters a lot. Exchanges of ideas leads to better and secure software. 2> Also we can talk about cost as it is an consideration for all (students as well as government) Also we can talk about the german and the venezualan governments who have used free s/w to their advantages 3> also corporate successes may be talked about without the doc looking like having a bias towards anyone vendor (even Redhat for that matter). Also i believe sameer' points#4 and #5 have to be emphasised From: "Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe" <sameerds(a)it.iitb.ac.in> Points I can think of: 1. An abstract on Nag's paper about "Why free software matters" 2. The fact that a GNU/Linux user is a member of an entire community 3. Examples of academic research projects that are done on GNU/Linux because of the freedom that they afford. 4. Importance of involving students in a community-wide effort and making real contributions instead of just arbit project ideas. 5. Instances like the IndLinux where a handful of people have managed to do something that can bring computing to millions in India. Sameer. -- MTech Student,
