Researcher Releases Hardened OS "Qubes"; Xen Hits 4.0
Trailrunner7 writes "Joanna Rutkowska, a security researcher known for her work on virtualization security and low-level rootkits, has released a new open-source operating system meant to provide isolation of the OS's components for better security. The OS, called Qubes, is based on Xen, X and Linux, and is in a basic, alpha stage right now. Qubes relies on virtualization to separate applications running on the OS and also places many of the system-level components in sandboxes to prevent them from affecting each other. 'Qubes lets the user define many security domains implemented as lightweight virtual machines (VMs), or 'AppVMs.' E.g. users can have 'personal,' 'work,' 'shopping,' 'bank,' and 'random' AppVMs and can use the applications from within those VMs just like if they were executing on the local machine, but at the same time they are well isolated from each other. Qubes supports secure copy-and-paste and file sharing between the AppVMs, of course.'"
Xen's also just reached 4.0; some details below.
Dominik Holling writes "With a small announcement on their mailing list, the open source community hypervisor Xen has reached the official release of version 4.0.0 today. The new features are: 'blktap2 (VHD support, snapshot discs, ...), Remus live checkpointing and fault tolerance, page sharing and page-to-disc for HVM guests, Transcendent memory (http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem/).' A complete list of all changes can be found on the Xen wiki and the source can be found on the official website and the Xen Mercurial repositories."
But why use a dildo? It's redundant imo, fingers work just as well.
That may be, but its clearly lacking driver support for certain models of anal dildos. But not for long!
If I had a nickel for every time I had a nickel, I'd be richcursive!
Sanitary reasons? Would you really want to stick your fingers up some random persons ass?
I'm going to AC this, but why not? A lot of people have anal sex and might sometimes put a finger up their girlfriends ass too. I have at least. When I fingered my own ass I used one of those rubber gloves, they work too. Or a condom. Just use a little bit of imagination.
That is actually a common misconception in the open source community. All dildos work well in an anus as well as they do in a vagina. Although there are no vaginas in the open source community.
Did you read my post?

I'm pretty sure that your girlfriend isn't just some random person.

Uh, I wouldn't be so sure about. What about those rabbit dildos that have the external part for pleasuring clitoris? Even while men do have the sensitive area called grundle (between your balls and asshole), it doesn't work for that but is only in the way. Then theres also dildos that are in a certain shape to pleasure women's g-spot, which will only hurt in ass. So no, they all don't work. That's why there are specific dildos designer for ass, either mens or womens.
Well then you should be even more worried about sticking something in her orifices.
The risk makes it more exciting.
