But it wont need root to scan them, it only needs root to act on the results. Surely a master process can run the tar, scan programs, then if it finds a file decides if it needs root to fix it, if it does, then it launches fixer with root privileges. As for auto-update, a similar technique could be employed, although with advance user privileges (i think vista has them), you could launch an update program without root, but with access to update the program and nothing else (especially not itself).
I always asked for confirmation before the scanner did anything, so in that case, it wouldnt even need root, only need to be able to ask for root.
It is run in critical places with high privileges and auto-updates to keep versions coherent. run tar at low privileges, then scan the pipe like a normal file. for most files theres no need to give the scanner an privaleges only needs read access to itself and system files 90% of the time.
in fact even on windows, why do virus scanners need high privileges?
interesting, after going through the UK education system i suffered neither of these 'brainwashes'. And judging by my friends, they havent sufferd brainwashing either, they are however aware of the dangers of drink/drugs. How you got modded +5 insightful for mentioning a 1930s film by a church group, ill never know.
would you support legalization of any/all drugs? If not how can you justify the 'war on drugs', and do you believe that people should be protected from their own stupidity by laws instead of information? If you will which drugs? and how would you defend yourself against the claims that this would create more drug addicts?
No it wont. The swiftfox repository will contain an up to date swiftfox (speed optimized compilation of firefox). Otherwise the easiest way to install firefox is to unpack it into/opt/, unfortunately i don't know how to get it to auto-update (As for security reasons the program isn't allowed to modify itself), it will however tell me when an update is available. when an update is available then i run (kde)sudo firefox3, which allows the Firefox update to work, alternatively you could write a simple update firefox script to run when firefox updates are available. would be something like:
wget latest firefox tar -xf latest firefox into tmp cp/opt/firefox/plugins/tmp/latest firefox/plugins sudo rm -r/opt/firefox/ sudo mv/tmp/latest firefox/opt/firefox but there is no need to compile yourself.
I have only 3 things to say about that. 1)The quality of my spelling and grammar, doesn't actually affect the quality of my argument. 2)My poor spelling doesn't prevent me understanding science, where as the quality of some American science education does. 3)We cant make very good keyboards.
Shortly after kicking the crap out of Argentina, we realized that nobody liked a bully and decided to stop kicking the crap out of smaller countries. After a short discussion we (as were a small country so we all sit down with the queen for tea and make these decisions), have decided that as a nation we would rather be neutered and not act like a stupid tomcat, that keeps running into danger and getting itself injured. While grand displays of bravery/stupidity were useful when intimidating the rest of the world and creating an empire, we've been their and done that. In this age, we would rather just go to the pub with our friends and drink some REAL bear (we still have a recipe if you want some)and sit around in mediocrity, however were not that fused about it so if all your spending on a space race ruins your economy well make an offer of £100 for our balls.
looked at a map recently? the big thing at the top of the British Isles is erm...oh no have the AA done it again. *runs of to see if scotland has suffered the same problem as wales, spontaneously sinking into the see!
Much less flaimbait that the GP, slightly OT, but not flaimbait. O its -1 now, i see the FOX watchers have got to you ( couldnt have been the SUN readers in Murdoch empire as their too scared of the pedonet)
erm, it didn't. Read a journal and you'll see that experiments just happen, e.g 'chemical A was mixed with chemical B and C occurred', not that the tense matters but my point is it doesn't have to be a human doing the experiment to get the data. On earth we tend to try and get humans as far from the experiments as possible, because we lack the rigor of robots.
There is little chance of sending a man to astrological location is the most efficient way to gather scientific data, so why bother when wed be better of spending the money researching stuff like stem cells, evolution or black holes.
Before the 1st murder, was it legal? Before somebody explicitly tells me im not allowed to kill you, is it legal? The law is the law, from the moment it is passed, and anti-monopoly laws ahd been in place for a while in 1994.
As a Libertarian Your an anarcho-communist too?
But yhey are spewing propaganda to British school children. Right because making the case for an item is propaganda. 1)There will probably be a who section space flight, so making a case for not poluting the atmosphere is probably worth it 2)They then give children the counter arguments.(So basically the lesson would cover, reasons not to go into space (danger, pollution, too many Americans there), then why we do it anyway (science & pride)) 3)British teachers are fairly free to give their opinion AS opinion, and telling them that the children will be examined on the pros & cons of space travel doesn't force them to oppose it.
If you aren't ever planning on roving over the mountain eventually, why waste the money sending a robot to look around? Why rove over it, if you can get all the information you need by safer, cheaper, less environmentally damaging, more scientific ways?
p.s criticizing our scientific education is not so much the pot calling the kettle black, more like a supper massive black hole calling the sun heavy. Perhaps if you paid less attention to the "propaganda" in British schools, you might notice some of the crap your kids get taught.
Daily? *spits tea in shock*, youve clearly never been here *sips*, we start the day with tea, *sips* we end the day with tea, *sips* if we're tierd we have tea, *sips* if visits we have tea & if somebody proposes going into space we get the scones out.
I think we used to take tea breaks during battles too! Wonder how that would go down in iraq?
Theres this thing, im not sure you have much of it over the pond, its called science. There is know need/point in wasting money in some ego race to see who can touch mars first, but by exploring the universe we can expand our scientific knowledge.
playing with yourself is the easiest way to be exposed to a judge. If you have a monopoly in a market, you cant use it to give yourself the edge in another market (without allowing other competitors in the second market to do the same). This is simple competition law, IANAL so this competition law isn't quite that simple, but the ignorance of some people here, probably the fan boys, is shocking.
I can believe that novel wouldn't have done the same thing, in exactly the same way British gas didnt and sun didnt force its JVM monopoly on OpenOffice. Pushing the limits of competition law is normal, but blatantly crossing the line is something few companies do!
But due to its OS monopoly, 'Microsoft windows' isn't allowed to do any favors for 'Microsoft office'. Thats simple competition law, bill knew it, novel know it and anybody else running a company that interacts with itself, know it. Take for example British gas, 'British gas (suppliers)' arn't allowed to cut any deals with the 'British gas (resellers)', this is the same.
you should sue them! that would be a bitch, settle to save money, only to lose any protection from other copyright holders. Did people learn nothing from Mr. Jackson, keep trowing money at people, and they'll keep suing, stop violating them/their license then they'll go away.
Your biggest problem will be deciding what you deserve, their lawyers will claim you deserve a cut based on how many lines of your code they used, and your will say that you its how many lines you wrote.
Sure you wont get as much as andersen, but you'll get something and more importantly you'll teach them that messing with OSS is even worse than messing with other companies. hell after you Perens should sue them, just to kick them when their hurt.
*note to self, learn C/C++ and commit some code to buzybox in perperation for the next gpl violation.
I find that perfectly acceptable, if the dialog is just a small box that warns you once a day. 1000 people getting one small box, is worth it if one of the 5 muppets responsible fixes his damn spyware. Plus with couple of good filters you can filter out the 100 mac/linux users and anybody not on IE7- or FF2- (while a Firefox user may be dumb enough to get malware, most alternative users / people on alphas/early betas will be geeks)
If a kernel upgrade makes your system unstable, rolling back is just a case of selecting the previous kernel from grub.
Infact there are few systems that would need a full restore, as long as you can get to a tty you can usually rollback any update you don't want (distros vary but it can be done in a debian system)
Yet another example: Xorg freezes, locks up or otherwise becomes unresponsive, even to console switching. Now I can of course boot another computer and try to ssh into the machine to fix it, but reboot again is the easier alternative.
All that said, if something goes wrong in Linux repeatably it can be worth to investigate, but if the computer just started to craze out a reboot is often the easier alternative. ctrl+alt+bkspace, restarts x if that fails alt+prnt scrn+r switches keyboard to raw mode, so you can get to consoles if all else fails alt+prnt scrn+k reboots the tty (although you probably shouldnt use that one as it can damage your system i think your supposed to use alt+prnt scrn+{S(ync your disk), I (kills some stuff) then K}
sure these are technically restarts, but they are quicker, safer, nicer to hardware and help give an indication of how far the problem goes.
try posting on your distro's forums, or IRC. I know the ubuntu community has gone downhill a bit but, install + basic setup is fairly well supported on the forums and IRC, If all else fails slide a link to your forum post into a slashdot post, and you'll probably get an answer.
I recently setup ubuntu on a friends laptop, but it had audio card problems (i installed wubi instead of ubuntu this was probably the reason). I have no idea when it comes to audio systems, but i went to #ubuntu, they sent me to #alsa, and withing about 5 minutes i was getting a step by step guide, and my mates laptop was working withing the hour. My father is on windows and his computer has some.dll error that pops up at startup but neither of us have any idea what it means/how to fix it or even who to ask about how to fix it.
p.s if you break something the computer isnt going to fix it self because it assumes that it did what you asked it to do. If you messed up a program however dpkg-reconfigure 'program name', will ask you again what you want it to do.
first you say
You don't pay extra for IIS or pirate it. but then go on to say
It's included with Windows XP Professional and Vista Most home users on xp pro will be using pirated copies. hell i have a legit CDkey but no CD so when i went looking for an uncracked windows xp home, all i found was "XP pro OEM + 1337 wga hacks"
