I can do everything virtually in Linux what I can do in Windows.
Theres only little in the field of capturing/encoding divx movies and graphical download managers, but I might be wrong there since I havent bothered to look.
I also have to give a lecture on the slapper worm in a couple weeks and I havent really started my presentation notes:(
Wish me LUCK!

Slasdot the mail lists with more mindless questions again!
Wanna bet you get 10 new emails from your (insert company)securitymailing-list from mindless F--k's with questions about how long for a patch for the "NEW" worm?

...why buffer overflow viruses are such a common vulnerability in software. Yes, I grok how they work, but their effectiveness depends on knowing in advance exactly how big the buffer is.
It would be trivially easy to write a function to randomly assign buffersize based on parameters (say, min max and optimal size), and even change its size periodically at runtime. That would eliminate this entire class of attack.
