  4. Re:Almost nothing new here on Analysis of SCO vs. IBM · · Score: 1

    fortunatly for IBM and Linux the work done "in kernel" for the new threading stuff was done by the people who did NPTL, NGPT was done in a way to NOT touch the kernel (or in really minimal ways, i forget exactly) on purpose.

    later when NPTL went and put in the much needed changes for a more scalable threading arch. NGPT changed their implementation to make use of it. meaning no external patches needed for IBM's stuff.

    that and NGPT will not be the default userspace threading system since NPTL is in glibc already.

  5. Re:Social engineering on Ask Security/Cryptography Expert Paul Kocher · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I work in information and network security, and I'd say that you aren't really solving TOO much with your suggestion of fingerprint, MAC address, etc

    reducing the ability for outsiders to influence access isn't solving much?

    The problem is not people figuring out people's passwords. I'd just like to pose: What happens when a buffer overflow is discovered in the biometric information acceptance daemon?

    stop using bad programming practices and allow for dynamic length buffers, or at the very least use checked length function calls.

    security is a multi prong problem that demands multiple solutions, saying that one solution doesn't solve all the issues is a no duh type statement.

    just run apt-cache search scsi all those utilities (and more) are returned along with a brief description which is enough to say THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT if you know what you want in terms of functionality.

  8. the changelog for 3.4 does a better job on GCC Gets PCH Support And New Parser · · Score: 3, Informative

    since the link for the parser is dated 2000 it's a bit confusing as to why this is news. However the 3.4 changelog (yes, 2 versions away for both features) meantions both.

    they only need documentation if they're using the language, they can't use the language w/out the download, the download contains the documentation.

  10. Re:Binary modules on Vanishing Features Of The 2.6 Kernel · · Score: 1

    no, that is not an issue, C has a standard ABI, the only thing that would cause problems is a precompile full module w/ 2.95 and a precompiled full kernel w/ 3.2, recompiling the source hooks that nvidia provides is enough.

    Plus, has it occured to anyone that the rash of security "problems" from MS might be due to the fact that they really are getting serious about security over there
