    If the NSA really is so good that they can outdo the entire rest of the crypto community, well then they can probably break pretty much any of the cryptosystems out there.
    Actually I think you're right, but to play Devil's Advocate for a moment, I will note that the UK government agency GCHQ developed a public-key cryptosystem between 1969 and 1973, significantly before Diffie and Hellman's (apparently) ground-breaking paper. So, government agencies are quite capable of beating the public state of the art and not telling anyone about it.

    If they could work on other enhancements to LTSP or X such as "screen" like session management or vnc session management or load balancing like Citrix.

    I think its greating them getting involved, LTSP is quite a mature project and while I'm not quite sure what kind of extra value they would add hopefully they will be looking at solidifying LDAP/Edirectory integration and other enhancements (like bandwidth optimisation).

  13. Re:Is this different from Microsoft? by Peter+Putzer · · Score: 1 · on David Faure Interview

    But why is it necessary to solve the problem by forcing a fork? Why not address the problem in the first place by having a well-defined fork a la the stable-vs-development strategy of the Linux kernel?

    But there IS a KDE_1_1_STABLE branch in CVS! It's just that nobody used it after releasing 1.1.2 (besides some bug fixing).

    Since KDE2 wasn't stable enough for me to develop KSysV, I continued to improve the 1.1.2 version. The result can be downloaded from here.

    Now granted, I was the original author of KSysV and therefore had it a little easier, but it's not hard to grab KDE_1_1_BRANCH and make a standalone app out of some module.

  14. my small PHP3 solution by Keco · · Score: 1 · on On Creating Multilingual Web Sites?

    I solved this for my purposes with a very little PHP3 function (10 lines, only one swicth() call). Now I have only _one_ source file for each multilingual page (no database needed).

    Examples available.

    Languages are selected via ?language=xx tags appended to the URL.

    Of course it's not a solution for a big site and by far not perfect.

    So, Linux has native USB support in the kernel. Is there a plan to implement the "obviously superior" IEEE 1394 anytime soon? ;)

    There is the GNU/Lunix IEEE 1394 Subsystem, but does anyone know how well this works/had experience with using it or knows if it will be included in the kernel sometime?

  20. FireWire support by Andreas+Bombe · · Score: 2 · on Linux 2.4 Feature Freeze

    I am currently maintaining and developing the FireWire subsystem which hasn't made it into the dev kernels yet. I sent a patch to Linus two weeks ago, but he didn't reply, which basically means refused. Understandably, there were some missing features like a highlevel driver interface (highlevel drivers as in harddisk driver etc.), which I am working on now, and isochronous transmissions.

    When I get that sorted out I will try again. As it does not change anything outside of its own directory apart from a few Makefiles, it could be accepted even into a feature freeze. The homepage for this all is ECLiPt, where you can also subscribe to mailing lists.
