It requires some rouge kernel hackers that dont care about licensing, you know the kind the drive round on motor bikes, and break into Steve Ballmers office and upload from his desktop, not because they're too cheap to pay for an internet connection, but simply because they wanted chairs to patch up the holes in their pirate ship that's waiting of the cost.
Yup the day we get those sort of rouge kernel hackers well get zfs in linux, but until then due to suns choice of license its not going to happen any sooner.
The police now have a phone number meaning people can phone them up and report crimes. And people can give the police your telephone number so that they can phone you up and ask questions!
Time to take the tinfoil hats off this is a tool for people that want it to report stuff to the police, not so different to a telephone number.
Your completely correct, for homebrew the best you can do is lock down your system so it can only boot to your script, ofc to do this you probably want to make it look like a windowsXP loading screen so the hacker thinks hes getting somewhere.
Obviously he can reset the bios, but given that I forgot my password for the last one, I can vouch that a non-techie thief to do that on a lot of laptops.
while man and info are useful to find out what something does or how to use it, A short course at my uni on Unix taught me a lot more on the basics than I expected. The teacher did refer us to man & info for more information and apropos to find commands, but he did have a lot of useful information that cant be found in manuals or specifications.
p.s also choose bash/tsh based on your audience, if its a mac crowd tsh is going to be more useful but if its a linux crowd stick with bash
Nothing, the same way that PGP cant protect you from a trojan used to read your mail. But if you want: open the mail, go offline, then decrypt the email, read it, close it, clear your cookies, then go back online.
the point of encrypted emails was never to protect you from your email reader, it was to protect it from between sender & receiver
Assuming that it the encryption cant be broken. He is just setting up the plot to a geek movie, where the hero has to go round and find 4 keys before the bad guy, only to be deceived at the last moment by an advert to wipe his computer! Ofc he realises this and switches the order of the keys and the bad guy gets hit by a stenographic virus.
Theres the old snake oil of PeerGaurdian and the sort,
i also set my number of conected peers fairly low (~30), i do it prevent my isp picking me up when i start up my torrent program (to get linux distros and OO.org OFC), but it has the advantage of leaving me much less exposed to peers, at the cost of much slower d/l rates!
I was going to post saying that its not their fault flash doesn't support their architecture, but this isn't really an excuse as they have the money and ability to port flash to it themselves. OTOH i browse the web with flashblock and only have it enabled on bbc.co.uk (they have iplayer anyway) youtube (they have that too) and other video sites (wont the youtube trick work for them too?). The Java problem sounds like a biggy, i think sun offered to port it but, apples SDK blocks it. I only use Java for a couple of things, both of which are far more important for actual work, i can see that being the real problem.
As for Nokia/linux products i think gnash or swfdecode will have you covered for most video sites, and im fairly sure java has been/is being ported to whatever the Nokia products run on (not 100% on this but i read about something called jailmo )
In fairness this is The Independent, its a broadsheet, they're actually fairly good, far better than what Ive seen of some American press. Plus since the sun got their asses handed to them on a plate for Iraq torture pictures, the new trick seams to be to not say anything, my farther reads the express (he now just claims its for the crosswords) and every time i go home I flick through, and they tend to just not put any content in. my favourite example was Paragraph 1: about Tony Blair's holidays paragraph 2: about Tony Blair's expenses Was there a link between the 2, hell no ( not in the article at least), ask an express reader, obviously his holiday was being claimed as an expense!
Whats the point, try adding anything interesting to wikipedia, they'll slap a [notability] tag on there before you can even find the citation. That is the new -1 troll of wikipedia
Is your p2p application or plug in sending back your MAC address, firmware revision, manufacture date, GUID or other details?
apt-get install macchanger sudo macchanger -r
I'm no computer scientist but isn't it fairly trivial for them to get your mac (or at least that of your router) from your network traffic anyway?
Why on earth must the government be under suspicion before we even have a clue as to who did it? Because we wont get any clues, despite their firewall the PRC wont do anything to find out who did it or punish them.
It is probably more along the lines of a wink and a nod and looking the other way, not organized government sponsorship. As others have noted, the 'Great Firewall' could easily block DOS attacks but didn't in this case. Id say more along the lines of shouting "CNN, hate china!, are your patriotic!" then turning the otherway.
My dad used to have a similar technique for dealing with bullying when he was a teacher, he would find out the kid had been bullying a 1st year, then get called out to some bullshit, and leave some kid he'd just caught bullying smaller kids, in with his form (who where oldest, biggest bullies) for a few minutes. Im just glad i didn't go to any schools he taught at!
No. The media has no interest in truth whatsoever when it comes to Tibet. Actually I was watching a BBC documentary about Tibet, filmed over 8 months or something before things actually kicked off, so there were media that cared.
All they want are shocking news, army shooting monks, and when they're not getting it, they'll stage some. Actually the Chinese are the only people that have faked news so far, in the age of the internet when everybody has photoshop, its fairly hard to fake whole stories, exaggerate yes, fake no!
When the foreign media are kicked out, they know there's no point doing that sort of thing any more. Right, so as soon as the media left, the monks just gave up and went home? yeah that's why people have been locked up for decades when there was no media attention? Sure they do play up to the cameras but, the cameras were also the only thing stopping the PRC shooting them. nobody stands in front of tanks when nobody is looking, because the tanks will just run you down.
Besides i didnt say letting press in was the only thing they could do They could let the UN in to make a report on whats going on They could ask for an international commission to investigate the exiled Tibetan government they claim are behind it all. They could give actually answers other than "its western propaganda"
Im no fan of media sensationalism, but there are plenty of things china could do to prove they're not murdering monks, but its sort of hard when they are.
For the record, Im not from Canada and think if more than 1/2 the people in Quebec now want independence they should have it. But do you have any sources, because as interesting as your revision sounds, and as much as i love a conspiracy theory, some sort of evidence would be nice (and hell it seams like an interesting story id like to read more about).
Surely you can do that anyway? or does bios + grub not support SSD. besides imaging how many users would forget to put the SSD in and then think the EEE is broken, Or how many times in rush people would pop out your SSD without fully shutingdown your desktop and fsck you EEE, or the fact that if you want to use your EEEs OS outside of the EEE you would need to ship a whole lot more drivers and then have no space left for files
They are enormously popular (in the UK at least) but many of the most popular (read cheap) tuners are a pain in the arse to get to run under Linux, locating firmware Ive used a standard usb-Dell one and a crappy one internal one, perhaps they weren't completely cheap tho, it might of required installing some drivers, but I doubt it as id only been using Linux for a few months when I 1st tried it.
decent TV software and so on. Kaffine does a fairly good job, I think VLC supports V4L too, mythTV if you want something more dedicated, there are plenty of good projects for TV in linux. I dont think any other OS is capable of recording multiple channels off one tuner either, but things may have changed since i last tried.
when I was in windows synaptic used to have a little program that would track your fingers (think it was called moodpad), by looking at the picture it was fairly easy to see what I was doing. I think it would be fairly doable to see to cirular blobs and recognise it as two fingers (obviously it wont be as good as hardware, and use more CPU), but I think the main reason it hasn't been done is it would lack the software integration to be usefull.
Does the Linux version have the same multi-touch sensor? If the Linux drivers support this sort of thing in hardware, im sure somebody will write a layer to go in and do it in software. So advances made for the EEE or gPhone, would go back into all-laptops.
Um, I can walk out RIGHT NOW and lay my hands on hardware designed for MS-Windows and watch it fail miserably under Mac-OS. That doesn't prove much. If your point is that Mac-OS supports more hardware than Linux, I would agree. I dont understand what your saying, there's a lot more MS windows type hardware than Mac. Also theres alot of hardware that windows/macos wont run on but linux will. Or are we only talking peripherals here, in which case there are weak spots on the linux front, e.g webcams, external sound cards, etc. (also a couple of places where it beats both mac & windows)
Standard equipment that would cause a riot if it wasn't supported. Yes, even the iPod. Even though Apple deliberately try to break support with every version they release?

Please note the above does not apply to drug laws where they'll bust your ass anyway!

TBH given putins actions id say it was more rebranded, with job cuts.

but if your using firefox, you can often install flash in your user profile anyway.

Linux,
I'm actually shocked i haven't heard of one running Linux yet!
In fairness this is The Independent, its a broadsheet, they're actually fairly good, far better than what Ive seen of some American press.
