Redhat has been shipping with a firewall for about a year now, your prompted at install time (but perhaps only in custom install, not sure), the checkbox is default enabled, iirc. There's a nice gui for configuring it too.
yes, try/dev/dsp1 under linux with the kernel driver.

Perhaps because it was a community supported/developed driver?
No, Creative initially released a binary only driver, it was later opensourced about a year after the Live's initial release (Live released late '98, driver opensourced late '99). The binary driver was indeed dreadful.
Last year we got 5cm of snow one day in Vancouver, schools & businesses closed, car accidents, traffic backups, people late for work, buses late, some old people fell and broke their hips, it was total chaos. Then the "west coast shovel" (a.k.a rain) saved us all:-)
I live in Seattle, about 125 miles from the Canadian border so the climate is somewhat similar.
Um no, anything west of the rockies is 10 to 30 degrees Celcius warmer in the winter. Real Canadian winters are cold, windy and snowy. (I've lived in Vancouver and Montreal, trust me, the west coast doesn't have a winter, they have a rainy season instead).
Nevermind that, go for the tank instead (aka 'rhino', it at the same place, North staunton island, I actually didn't notice it until I finished the game, not sure if that may be a requirement to have it appear). Its SO COOL.
When you get 6 stars, the Army comes after you with tanks and trucks of soldiers. The great thing about the tank is that you are pratically invincible (but so are they), and you get to aim and fire the cannon. But watchout, some people may try car-jack you:-)
Not sure if this is what your looking for but Licq support SSL encrypted peer to peer connections.
For your Dynamic IP problem try a dynamic hostname service like dyndns.org, there's several client programs available that automatically update your IP every time it changes.
But why does USPTO accept these patents in the first place? It's as if the government is just out to make money or something. (Make money on the patent, make money on the trials).
And secondly, broad patents which can be thrown out easily in court are still very usefull for large corporations with lots of cash and/or lawyers. They can scare any smaller startups out which don't have the cash to fight. It's the USPTO's obgligation to reject stupid patents to prevent abuse by the megacorps.
When I was with rogers (in Vancouver) I used to have that exact same problem, all my packets would be routed to Toronto, then to Buffalo, etc.
Then we were switched over to Shaw, they have their own network and connect driectly to other ISPs in Canada and the US. So packets for California go through Seatle, packets for bell go straight to bellnexxia (staying in Canada), etc. Much more sane. Rogers is so backwards.
I don't suppose you'd happen to know how they encode stereo information on the vinyl?
Since I only remember seeing one needle (haven't seen one in years), I'm guessing it's encoded similarly to FM (from my memory): The baseband signal (0kHz-15kHz) is a mono mix (L+R), the stereo difference (L-R) is double sideband encoded on a ~40kHz suppresed carrier (AM without the carrier, filling in the ~20kHz-60kHz band). (this maintains backwards compatibility with mono players)
(If the above isn't true for vinyl's, then at least we can agree FM sucks:)
The noise added by the modulation/demodulation process make the CD's sampling and quantization noise look like nothing. Plus, with this scheme you almost never get perfect stereo seperation. And not to be forgotten, the dynamic range has to be compressed/limited to prevent grooves from overlapping on their neighbours.
IMHO, CD is a much more accurate reproduction of the original recording. Audiophile dissagree, but that's because they like its sound better, not because its more accurate.
Hey, it's a US patent, so they're mostly to blame since they allowed this stupid patent through. Patent offices are supposed to analyse the validility of the patent application and ensure that no prior art exist (which according to many post further down there is prior art), and that its not a trivial patent. The US patent office is know worldwide doing this very incompetently.
Or yet one more way: you can also do ctrl+l (gives focus to link bar and highlights the contents, but it's not copied to clipboard). Follow it up with ctrl+v to paste the clipboard contents.
* A way to delete the contents of the URL bar without destroying the contents of my clipboard. Right now, I copy a URL from somewhere else, then click in the URL bar and hit delete, just to have the contents of the URL bar copied to my clipboard.
Place the cursor to the begining of the URL bar and hit ctrl+k, this will delete everything after the cursor without copying it to the clipboard.
Asking why you should learn assembly when you have higher level languages is like asking why you should bother to learn how to do multiplication when you have calculators.
Assembly shows you how your CPU does stuff at a much more basic level (e.g. what does the CPU really do with pointers? how does it do a for loop? How are signed numbers different from unsigned? etc). IMHO, every programmer should have taken at least one assembly course in their teachings. Even if they never program in assembly again, the indirect knowledge gained is very valuable.
Many people seems to be reading this the wrong way. They should not be used to replace the CPUs, but rather be used as another addon unit (like the FPU).
Special apps written to support an FPGA unit would reconfigure it, and then use it for their specific tasks.

From redhat presumably (unless someone else started doing this first). They've been doing this exact same thing since RH7.0.

Well, if one of them changes broke something, you'd know who to contact and blame.

Any links to back that up?

I think that only applies if your not logged in, I've logged out once and had newer stories dissapear from the mainpage

Your Pi lib isn't a copy-prevention scheme, therefore it isn't covered by the DMCA, reverse engineering is still legal.

My teacher would have deducted points for incorrect units, you forgot the 'g' (kg*m/s)
No need for ctrl-U, just hit delete or backspace or almost anykey(except for arrow keys) after ctrl-L to delete the contents.

So far, just the basic stuff is working (pcm, I/O, etc) so don't expect too much (and please subscribe to the mailing list and provide feedback)

Dont't forget 802.11i
did you even read the paper? One of the design goals was "uses the Linux operating system" (see page 2)
So think FPGA co-processor, not CPU replacement.
