Measure network traffic for a normal week or two, no limitations. Everyone should do the things they usually need to do. Ports, Types of traffic, etc. and Bandwidth is recorded.

I think this is just some theoretical research that got picked up by someone never heard of Ant algorithms (it sounds impressive when you hear it the first time), but it can often be outperformed.
They are talking about an ant-based algorithm, often used in optimization (routing, for example). Some information is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Ants and here.
Well, IE6 and IE8 are different. You might want to read up about what security mechanisms MS put in place between the OS and the browser -- they are mighty proud about them. E.g. LCIE, running each tab in a different process and also Vista should have heap and stack overflow preventing mechanisms. I think that is what they are talking about here: Chrome is probably not compiled with address randomization, noexec or similar. So there is probably a point behind the statement, although the statement is used for FUD.
Yes, there are some neo-Brown Shirt skin heads out there, and all the anti-Nazi symbolism laws in Germany and Austria haven't seemed to put much of a dent in them. Short of shooting anyone who looks remotely like a Hitler lover, I think the time has come and gone when the laws could be justified.
I disagree. Austria, unlike Germany, has the Verbotsgesetz, which is a restriction to freedom of speech: It aims to "suppress any potential revival of Nazism [and] denying or grossly minimizing the Holocaust or other Nazi war crimes". Neo-Nazis meetings and demonstrations are a much much larger problem in Germany than in Austria, as people glorifying Hitler can not be prosecuted. I would say that these laws are contemporary.
I know that the vast majority in the US advocates complete freedom of speech (which the US does not have either). They have the scheme of a "market of ideas" were the truth is supposed to finally succeed. However, you have to realize that this scheme is not what other cultures seem appropriate. I am not talking about the state only allowing opinions it does not like (censorship). I am talking about opinions full of hate that are the pre-stage to racist, sexist or religious violence.
Most countries, as does the US, have some limitations of freedom of speech. Libel, for example. Some countries, like Austria and Germany, take the stand that it is acceptable to also cut a piece of the freedom of speech for hatred speakers, sedition and Nazi glorification. Please accept this opinion (given the history of the nations), although it is not your own. States suppressing the press or the opposition are a different chapter in freedom of speech.
PS: The Verbotsgesetz is a constitutional law in Austria. The state was founded with it, and it is not a law you can simple remove by a simple majority. The European Court of Human Rights has always rejected law suits against the Verbotsgesetz, because the human rights and freedom may not be abused by enemies of free and democratic order (see here for pro and cons). This is a controversial topic, and I'd like to repeat my current signature: This might reflect my opinion right now, but not necessarily tomorrow or next year.
That article and the ban was based on making money on illegal content (with advertising) and only for that specific website. RTFA, not just the headlines.
How would a stable KBI improve things? It is a benefit to be allowed to do constant changes, otherwise you could not clean up the mess! If you had a stable interface, you'd be very limited in your cleanup. And Linux would not have the fastest USB system of all operating systems.
I'm sorry, maybe I act in open-source and commercial projects the same way, but I clean up messes regularly just for the simple fact that I can't (continue to) work otherwise. That has nothing to do with goodwill or management or motivation. Also, deleting code often adds value. (And if not, there is always a VCS.)
That hasn't kept anyone from posting. The articles don't go into detail what exactly the deal is, either.
Under the deal - the product of a legal suit - Google would establish a $125m (£77m) fund to compensate those whose works it published online.
It would establish a Book Rights Registry so that authors whose work it digitised were paid when their material was viewed online.
There already exists a open source download tool with which you can fetch 95% -- as much as Google offers/digitized -- of any book, so the fear is understandable.
I guess flatrate for authors or making it a just a preview to find out if this is the right book might be options that the authors will agree on.
It is one thing to pirate content, it is another to make money from pirated content.
This ruling is against the second, and the title wrongly suggests that all P2P software was banned, which would not make sense. Find a pointless discussion that the way of distributing content is irrelevant below.
I found it impossible to... Because the dialogue box did not fit, and the "okay" button was off the screen!
That happens on Windows too if you increase the font size and add the screen magnifier (for elderly people with bad sight). It'd be great if this could be solved (be it Windows or GNOME/KDE)... I'm not sure how though. Scrolling the screen or in the window might be ugly/not userfriendly.
The place to build observatories has always been a compromise of "middle of nowhere" and reachable (e.g. from a city). Eventually, all of these observatories got swallowed by the growing cities. Now that you can operate observatories automatically (remote control) or semi-automatically (submit your to the local technician or astronomer), building it in the middle of nowhere is a slightly smaller problem than it used to be.
Given that the first infects were recognized in 1984, I think the "selective pressure" is not a evolutionary one, as there just have not been enough generations. You have to factor in that the number of infected grew significantly, so the decrease of faster-killing virus variants may just stem from the fact that their hosts died earlier decreasing their share whereas that didn't happened for slower-killing virus. That'd be without passing on to a newer generation of virii that has been selected due to fitting better (which will occur later, I'm sure).
Then on the other hand, I'm no biologist/physician:-)

My idea for network security would be this:
Measure network traffic for a normal week or two, no limitations. Everyone should do the things they usually need to do. Ports, Types of traffic, etc. and Bandwidth is recorded.
Then the admin creates a firewall setting from that (hopefully automatically).
In the following weeks, differences to the behavior is measured, allowing the admin to extend or restrict the rules.
And it would have colorful buttons.

For lols (and wtfs), take a look at http://github.com/domdorn/Jake/raw/master/generateDao.sh :-) quick-and-dirty ... very dirty.
It generates Java proxy code using Bash and Python
the word is discoverability.
Obviously the first has to be used (as GP said, AJAX is used). But you don't have to look into proprietary web apps, dokuwiki does that too.

Why would you think Linus is the "only one running the show"? He isn't even the one leading most of the kernel development anymore.
Oh great. Ring^W Car-tones you can download, just what we needed. This is going to be annoying ...

If they want free software, chances are they will seek it out.
I think many people don't know about that part of software landscape, and that it works for many people.
Otherwise, an interesting point of view.

Yes, it makes copying much faster

Awesome, I love the difference between the first two approaches!
