well, i do get a little tired of reading this in bugtraq/securityfocus and then 10 minutes later seeing it on/.... but here's my.02:
the release i saw in bugtraq (i think, they all end up in the same folder) said they are going to goto hardcover and e-zine format... which is (minus hardcover) is what they have been doing?

Phrackstaff is please to bring you our LAST EVER CALL FOR PAPAERS for the FINAL RELEASE of PHRACK.
We are preparing for a hardcover and ezine release at a major hacker convention near you!
going on to say they'll keep the website up for two years after, "more about the decision in the release."
one: i didn't know phrack HAD released anything in any real ammount of time recently. two: my mirror of phrack issues stops at 41, and is dated december 21, 1992. three: i always liked cDc better. different content, granted, but it was a much better 'publication' all together.
no, i was just pointing out HOW easy it could be indexed. they say they have digitized 'some' but can't be accountable for making sure all the appropriate words are x-ref'd and/or indexed. google seemingly has no trouble finding a single keyword in a mass ammount of data. if the archive were digitized, it *could* be searched with no problem, but the public, or by the FBI themselves. no manpower required (except the cost of digitizing/maintaining the archive, which admittingly would not be an easy task)
my reference to robots.txt was simply symbolic, and if everything in the fbi archives WERE online, we'd have more privacy issues arrise than problems solved regarding the FOIA.
make the entire thing fully accessable from a terminal at government buildings (federal courts, etc, etc) and when you file for a FOIA document, they let you sit down (monitored?) and run some searches. If you find it, it's yours. If not, you lose. allow the courts to determine wether or not someone has a rightful reason to be reading said documents... then give them (monitored?) access to the database. The manpower required is 1-1, little to no extra expense.
which is why real men "backup their files to an ftp site and lets others mirror it"... if the information was readily available (assuming they DON'T have anything to hide) to search/index, they wouldn't have to occupy their employee's to do these searches. Let the people search for themselves, they have nothing to hide, right?
erase the fbi.gov/robots.txt file, let google crawl the entire archive, and bam: FOIA-hand-delivered.
i agree. I don't use it as a work-horse desktop enviroment, i use it to reliably store stuff, as an additional means of security on my home net, and lots of other various things. If Adobe released photoshop 6 for linux (or hell, 7) i would be 'tickled pink'... You can DO almost anything you want in linux, but being completely familiar with 'photoshop' 'vegas' and other such media-modifying/creation software in the windows enviroment, i find it a waste of time to try to learn the new 'aspiring' programs (i like gimp, but NEVER use it... never got 'the hang of' blender, but i have a great 3dsmax book for reference.)
i VNC into a headless linux box where my email client sits running indefinately. it also is a test web-server, file server, router/firewall, caching proxy, and other such wonderful things.
as far as games go, if i could get xmame.svgalib to compile correctly, my headless linux box (hooked via ati tv-out) would be a wonderful 1900+ MP arcade box. i can play quake on a 42" sony vega, and if i could find some (stable) svgalib based emulators, i could play old sega games, etc. that's all i need as far as games, i have a ps2, and am not an avid gamer to begin with.
stuff like ripping dvd's -> divx and whatnot is IDEAL for linux. drop the disc in, few cmd line parameters, and you can leave it alone, come back to an encoded movie. (granted there is windows software to do it to, probably even easier, but i am aiming for 1. know it's spyware free, 2. free, and 3. reliable(?)... )
i'm not fond of xorg dual-head support, but have almost gotten it to a place where it is tolerable. plus having 2xN virtual desktops is super nice, except i 'loose' running apps alot..
if commercial software were ported to linux ( photoshop, studiomx etc ) would you buy it? What commercial software do you WANT ported to linux that you are wholly unsatisfied with the linux alternative. I wanted to make a 'linux-alternative' site years and years ago, when staroffice first came out, seeing how there is all this free software that does the job 'just as well, mostly'... sure soffice had it's bugs, but all apps do, especially 'from scratch trying to mimic something that has 'feature-bugs' '
5 is useually jail in identity theft type situations, but apparently there is a whole market for stole personal info databases... i think/. blamed irc.
or a 'transparent' proxy-like-app that grabs the page, modifies it, and passes it along... collecting that POST vars, searching regexps for 'pass' 'pw' 'user' 'account' 'uname' 'ssn', etc, etc, maybe producing invalid logins by malformsing the POST stuff being submitted... the user would be oblivious.
you wouldn't only have their bankofslahsdot login account, but maybe their pornwizards.com username/password, msn, hotmail passwords too... how many people duplicate passwords? a lot of the non savvy types surely. how many 'small' sites offer ssl logins? how trustworth is a self-signed certificate?
if i am not mistaken, you have to live in the state in which you are a senator, but the conditions are key. Most live in upscale gated community type establishments, etc, etc.
They should have to live by the same standards they set, simply. you are a PUBLIC servant, not a government employee. You should make minimum wage, but be provided with shelter, transportation, and food, and health-care. very communist-stylie. It'd be another level of checks-and-balances, weeding out the people that are senators and such strictly for the benefits that come with the title, and put more people who want to (selflessly) better our (once glorious) country.
It's clear isn't it? People are the problem. Therefore people should be made illegal!
Just throw everyone in jail and the problem is solved.
don't joke. it's coming. the conspriacy theorist in me notices all the similarites between William S. Cooper's prediction in 1990 (behold a pale horse) about the US government rouding up the 'PATRIOTS' and the PATRIOT act... talks about (at the time) our 10% occupancy of 'federal prisions' when state and county prisions are overflowing, and how all the 'undesireables' will be rounded up, and shipped via train to these modern day 'concentration camps' where we'll be re-intergrated as patriots of america of forced into slave labor for our new overlords.
i wish they WOULD secede from the rest of the US (or at least everything south of san francisco). They could be their own little soverign nation with their own laws and finances etc, etc...
on a semi-related issue, Wal*Mart won't sell a certian type of battery and cough syrup to the same person at the same register. They have a big sign up with all the ingredients used to make meth, and don't sell any of the items together... i thought it a *BAD* idea to list all the ingredients used to make meth in a workplace.
just a laymans example of a product that exists harmlessly until someone uses it for something else.
exactly. there is not a SINGLE place in america anymore you can drive more than 80mph (montana used to, but i believe it's since been cut back fully, or at least to 'night only')... but ALL of our cars can go faster than that. Does that make Ford liable for john doe's speeding ticket? or if he wrecks because he wanted to see if he could get to the 150mph marker on his spedometer? why is it there is we can't do it?
this kind of legislation would have car manufacturers putting speed-limitation-devices in cars (some have them, if i am not mistaken too) or else face fines/jail time for each *car* produced?
i've always said we need to youthanize (sp) most of congress, and get new people in there. i think a great additional bonus to being a senator/congressman would be the great health care they would be entitled to (which conincidentally will be the same health care medicare/medicade provides... that'll bring some reform) and salary caps. You can be a senator as long as you like, but you can't get raises or participate in private industry whatsoever...
but i agree we need a whole new lot of people making our decisions and laws, preferably someone with our actual interests in mind.
first and foremost, it is a lot easier to read in a tabbed type viewer/editor, where open tags start and end on that same tab and everything beneath is tabbed one more... surely you've seen this primitave method of formatting code (althought i admittingly have no set method of start/stop tags i prefer/use)...
i agree that xml has no place even beginning to start to replace compiled binary type programs (just cutting the parser out gives it that much less a fingerprint), but it's uses as a replacement for html (xhtml...) and the portability as far as output formatting/layout/etc are limitless. eg: stuff that *already* has an interpreter. php powered xml has limitless possibilites...
i especially like the arbitrary nature of xml, where i can name things whatever i like whenever i feel like naming it that.
instead of a teenager with an acne problem shining a light in your face and asking you to be quiet.
but its (in this case) you who needs to not be talking in the first place to get the acne kid to have to come out from behind the booth. i don't like going to theatre's because i don't like hearing people's commentary when i go to the movies. i for one am ready to embrace the new media delivery overlord. but then we get into the lacking quality of movies, and really should just kill our tv's all together.
Re:How lightweight, if it requires gtk+?
on
Xfce 4.2.0 Released
·
· Score: 1
i still use blackbox... extremely lightweight, almost no deps whatsoever, easy to manage menuing system, etc, etc... but i don't have a head on any linux machine so i use vnc with blackbox as my wm.
my dog was pre approved for a $50,000 credit limit from citibank, which seems strange, because he doesn't have a social security number...
even more strange, how did his name get on a mailing list? probably my dad's fault... he signed me up for the republican national committee newsletter. i get all the 'i [heart] gop' cards and pamphelts. no so much anymore, but pre-election is was pretty bad.
no one could have complained if it said 'both creation and evolution are possible answers to the unanswered question of our existance'. but it was bias, so the other extreme whined.
what part of that led you to believe you would have to hold your arm in the air indefinately?
i kind of like them, use it with my laptop. optical, and a great help when you have limited desk space (cafe, airport terminals, etc)... i loathe the 'touchpad' my viao came with.
i've never been a mac user (does an apple IIe count?) but this little box, for (only) $500, i can have an entry-level mac with panther and some sample mac software, network card, airport card, etc, etc. i already have a bunch of capable heads (you can still hook up pc monitors/lcd's, right? dont have to buy an overpriced cinema display...? )
i don't even want it to come with a keyboard or mouse. it's small enough and neat loooking enough that i would put it on my desk, and vnc in, or get a third head, and use synergy2 as a kvm solution.
$500 isn't much. but i am concerned about this being a first-generation beast. maybe when it's been road-tested some i'll buy it.

It's an interesting issue, and I was glad to see it getting some broad[er] exposure.
the broader exposure unfortunately is indicitive of the coming problems. your wifi-r-us example is on point, the hotels are better:
1. check into (full, wifienabled) hotel, setup ap.
2. setup 'proxy' (my previous post)
3. ???
4. profit.
5 is useually jail in identity theft type situations, but apparently there is a whole market for stole personal info databases

it's too hard to fully un-install outlook ... i useually just give up.
