OK - how many/.'ers use mozilla products because this way their significant other (who uses IE) won't see the history bar or the cache showing the sites they were looking at.
How about the boss looking at my history bar or cache? Oh, hey Peter!;)
I fried my video card and motherboard by putting one of those new 3.0 or so volt AGP cards into a 1.5 volt slot. It fried my video card and motherboard.
All my passwords are generated through KeePass. They are 21 characters in length, from A-Z|a-z|0-9. I have the options to introduce other characters into the keyspace, but I wish anyone best of luck in cracking a 132 bit address space:)
Sorry to ruin your sense of security, but Trillian's security model is made on the method of being "good enough" to prevent people from sniffing your packets, but not good enough to really block any government organization from spying on you.
The encryption alogorithm for Trillian is quite strong (128 bit blowfish), but the method of exchanging keys is open to attack.
Tril uses Diffie-Helman key exchanges for the clients to get private keys, but this is entirely open to a man-in-the-middle attack. A server (or carnavore type machine) could sit between the two clients during the key exchange, and manipulate the exchange so that the whole conversation is readable to the client.
I always thought about creating an IM service that uses certs in order to encrypt / decrypt messages. Like, when the person logs in and authenticates with the server, the client registers a new public key with the server.
Of course, something like this will take a bit of thought, and is in the future. Thoughts?
I'm rather curious, how well does ArsTechnica handle a Slashdot story? I'm asking this, since most people view getting a story on slashdot as a bad thing server wise.
Easy... I would Slipstream a copy of Windows SP1 or SP2
onto a burned CD, so that the windows I install is a fresh copy that's not suseptible to worms off the bat.
Even better, I would get a hardware firewall, so that none of the ports that worms travel through are even open.
Basic security from automated attacks isn't particularly hard, you know. Why is this even on slashdot?
I can imagine hordes of "geek apartment buildings" sprouting up next to central offices.
They never mention what kind of distance you have to be from a node in order for this to work. I imagine all these "geek apartment buildings" are next to the C/O;)
Also, will the telecos even have the bandwidth from the node, onward to really sustain that kind of bandwidth? I mean, we're looking at OC-3 speeds, right? I can imagine their pip getting saturated.
Finally, what good is this if ISP's shut down anyone who use "too much bandwidth" anyway? We're already at that scenario with 1.5 meg/sec constantly. What about 200? Egh.

I'll give you a link to the article, but first you're gonna have to run down to Queens and get me a sugar cookie.
I would personally laugh if they chose that as their slogan.
unless they promise he screams KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN near the end of it.
I dunno, how about The Merovingian :P
All your base are belong to PHP?
Or...
All your spellcheckers are belong to us?
I prefer dead operating systems over unborn Operating Systems thank you very much.
Rosie Palms always has an open port for the average slashdotter.
BSD: The perfect operating system for a dying platform. :D
Do you have a link to that?
Of course Nvidia's card is going to do better. Doom3 has a specialized codepath for nvidia hardware, while the ATI card does not.
If a codepath were written for the X800 series of cards, I'm sure the scores would be closer to each other.
I take the superiority of one card over the other with a grain of salt.
How about the boss looking at my history bar or cache? Oh, hey Peter! ;)
Hi, I smoke pot^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H use a mac^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H, errr run firefox!
GWU is NOT Unix.
Pico: A choice that will piss both sides off equally.
640k items should be enough for everybody
It was in that "Mysterious Future" box that us subscribers get ;)
What happened to version 1.666? [/doom]

Anyway, time to change up to SHA1 ;)

Sorry, but I put a a lot of credit in the people at google.
Port 80? Amateur! Try it on 443 :)
