First off, once you read past the sensationalist headlines, the article just says that they are establishing a very high capacity research network to study new protocols, not trying to create a parallel infrastructure. However, that being said, trying to redesign the Internet's protocols from scratch isn't necessarily a bad idea, the current model is definitely showing its age. For example, TCP has a lot of issues on links with large bandwidth-delay products, resulting in lots of extensions and forks to support these links.
The real problem is getting a critical mass to switch. Just look at the state of IPv6 support in home networking gear and the lack of implementation all over the web. My guess is that this will lead to some new standards that will maybe be used by people doing experiments with tons of data and nobody else. Don't expect to see this work coming to a router near you.
I doubt there'd be any bacteria as we know them there, as the surface temperature is -300F. If there were some kind of bacteria, they definitely wouldn't have water-based cells.
If you're looking for extraterrestrial life, I'd say it's very unlikely. If you're looking for bacteria to help with recycling on earth, I'd say you're SOL.
It doesn't matter, you just double the time (~11 hours by GP's number) which is still trivial
Hash(Hash(0000000000))
Hash(Hash(0000000001))
Hash(Hash(0000000002)) ...
I'd be very surprised if no one has made databases of Hash() available online with common hash functions.
However, the chip does contain an individual firmware out of a set of firmware... due to regulations for wifi varying in various countries (frequency bands, power settings, etc), most manufacturers do the "regulatory compliance" settings in firmwares that differ for each place of sale. Thus, there is a US firmware, a UK firmware, a Japan Firmware... and one of these is loaded... thus the chip contains a firmware, not all the firmware available.
Yes, but with BPL causing interference all the time, there is no incentive to purchase, use, maintain, practice with, etc. amateur radio equipment. Ham radio is a hobby, if it can't be practiced for fun it won't be practiced at all.
The idea (AIUI) is that swiping the card sends a request to the DMV database and that replies with a picture that you then compare to the individual. Copying my magnetic data doesn't help unless you also copy my face.
If time-dependent electricity costs were more wide spread, I could see a market for either battery or super-capacitor based systems that go between your hookup and your breaker box. Charge it at night and discharge during the day to lower your prices.
The "anonymous reader" was netelder who dropped from a large uid (immediately after auction) to 41 (current). (His/her ebay and slashdot user names were the same).
I'm pretty sure 911 hang ups are defined to be probable cause already, they probably just asked out of politeness. If some one is in trouble and calls 911 (be it a kidnapping, domestic dispute or injured person), the cops need to determine this. If you call 911 accidentally (I've done it), just tell them it was an accident and they're fine with it. If it's a hang up, they have to assume it's an emergency situation and react appropriately.
Yes, but OpenOffice depends on java. It also is *the* largest package in the Debian archive. I forget the exact size, but just the OO.o packages are several hundred megs.

approach to fighting spam. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)
( ) Spammers can easily use it to harvest email addresses
(*) Mailing lists and other legitimate email uses would be affected
( ) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money
( ) It is defenseless against brute force attacks
(*) It will stop spam for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it
(*) Users of email will not put up with it
(*) Microsoft will not put up with it
(*) The police will not put up with it
( ) Requires too much cooperation from spammers
( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once
( ) Many email users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers
( ) Spammers don't care about invalid addresses in their lists
( ) Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business
Specifically, your plan fails to account for
(*) Laws expressly prohibiting it
( ) Lack of centrally controlling authority for email
( ) Open relays in foreign countries
( ) Ease of searching tiny alphanumeric address space of all email addresses
(*) Asshats
(*) Jurisdictional problems
( ) Unpopularity of weird new taxes
( ) Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money
( ) Huge existing software investment in SMTP
( ) Susceptibility of protocols other than SMTP to attack
(*) Willingness of users to install OS patches received by email
( ) Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes
(*) Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches
( ) Extreme profitability of spam
(*) Joe jobs and/or identity theft
( ) Technically illiterate politicians
( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with spammers
(*) Dishonesty on the part of spammers themselves
(*) Bandwidth costs that are unaffected by client filtering
( ) Outlook
and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
( ) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical
( ) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable
( ) SMTP headers should not be the subject of legislation
( ) Blacklists suck
( ) Whitelists suck
( ) We should be able to talk about Viagra without being censored
( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud
(*) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks
( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually
( ) Sending email should be free
(*) Why should we have to trust you and your servers?
( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses
(*) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem
( ) Temporary/one-time email addresses are cumbersome
( ) I don't want the government reading my email
(*) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough
Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
( ) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
(*) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.

Huh? Fort Bragg is in central North Carolina on the east coast (about 4 hours by car from the Atlantic Ocean, several days from the Pacific)

I believe it's from one of the Austin Powers movies.
1. encrypted filesystem with cryptsetup.
Solution?:
1. Not affected? cryptsetup uses GnuTLS and not OpenSSL so it's not affected.

Because the case is as much about PR as money.
Meh, way too long. Also, no semicolon at the top.

If you read my post (grandfather) you'd have seen - ebay shows the winner of an auction and the slashdot and ebay userids were both 'netelder'.
The "anonymous reader" was netelder who dropped from a large uid (immediately after auction) to 41 (current). (His/her ebay and slashdot user names were the same).

- cyrus delivery socket permissions may need resetting if you use cyrus & postfix.
/usr/share/doc/cyrus-doc-2.2/README.postfix.gz? This will preserve the permissions.
Did you use dpkg-statoverride like it says in
