This is nice and all but that's a pretty standard distro release, can anybody tell me why i would want to switch from a similar distro, say ubuntu 9.10 or fedora 12 to openSuse?
sure I could try them all but there is only so much time i want to spend installing/setting stuff up.
Why not do both. if you look at somewhere like France they invest in "practical" research such as fusion reactors, blue-sky research such as CERN (15%) and the ESA (23%) which is somewhere between the two. The value of blue-sky research is hard to predict but taking a Thatcherite view and dismissing it altogether is naive and apart from slowing progress, it's not economically sound (I'm not saying spending too much on blue-sky is a good idea either). If you look at biological research I'd argue that much less progress has been done recently (compared to what could have been achieved) because too much funding is attached to direct studies like cancer research and not enough is being spread around to just see what happens (mapping the human genome style).
Chinese certainly have the money, but they do not have trained Astronauts
The Japanese have the 'raw' technology, but their space program is no better than Indians'.
Exactly, they need the ESA/NASA atleast as much as ESA/NASA needs them.
A NASA and ESA partnership is still the best bet,
Oh i don't disagree, i just think spreading the cost and the effort further would be better.
since the Chinese will never be included due to fear of IP theft anyway.
Yeah that does make dealing with china hard, because of the rocket, tracking, etc tech, but Japan and Russia aren't going to be going to war with us any time soon.
I disagree entirely with this comment but flamebait? I Think it is a valid concern, a stupid one given the NASA is a fraction of the US's Budget but not flamebait. stop modding by agree/disagree!
China seam to have more money to throw about, I hear Japan are pretty good at technology and russia seam to be the goto guys if you want something launched. If getting to Mars is a serious scientific venture and not a cock swinging contest, why not work with them as well?
I don't understand US law but if intel have done something worthy of an antitrust suit isn't it down to the DOJ to go after them? Or was this some sort of civil antitrust suit?
where are you googling? the only thing on the first page is the "Go!" wikipedia article which was created yesterday, AFTER Google launched their language
Many programs will prompt for root if they are run with insufficient permissions, that implementation requires programs to be sudo aware, but if i understand software patents correctly, as long as it has the same effect it infringes
Also policykit seams to do everything that just got patented, I run kpackagekit and it does everything it can as me, but when I try and update I am prompted for a password.
yeah but i was trying to call America a dickhead, having the dick in the right place isn't as funny. Although Florida does pretty much who America fucks with, so the analogy is at least partly true.
Server X accepts client Y as authentic, but client Y is not authentic. It does not matter how you arrived at the mis-authentication if all you are doing is tallying the number of authentication failures.
But are we talking failure of cookies, MITM attacks, replay attacks, authentication is too vague!
The browser itself has an exploitable vulnerability.
But how does that compromise a web app? XSS?
Running memory on the OS, that's where all code injection goes.
How do you get from webserver running as it should to...code injection, that is the tricky part.
The Government have been known to manipulate the BBC trust when the head of the BBC is to critical of bullshit inquiries that say nobody lied in the run up to war. The BBC's charter is also periodically renewed by the government who could (but don't) say that they need to be more supportive of goverment initiatives.
I mean in practice the BBC isn't state run media, but in theory they are.
To be fair, Canada's not really the hat, either. It's more like the hair, with an ugly growth of the skull sticking out (Alaska). The Caribbean islands are the spittle flecks on the side of our spitoon (the Atlantic).
I always though Alaska was a dick. I mean it is lead by a cunt right?
Wait so he saved £600 by copying 30/40 games? ok for starters £35*35 ~= £875, but anyway even if he only copied cheap games (yeah right), £525 is enough to buy a new xbox £159 and £366 for the games he enjoyed the most. From a financial perspective paying £235 for a pirating + xbmc? xbox360 is Still worth it.
All of that is useless because you agreed to their terms of service when signing up for Live, which also contain terms about just exactly this. You might get far in court.
While a TOS is more valid than an EULA he may be able to win in court depending on the circumstances.
Last time i checked it was $40 for 3 months (or $70 for a year), and that all goes to MS so they make much more money of xbox-live than "game-tax" on a few games a year
People who cheat on games ruin the experience for everybody else.
There is currently one chip out which allows you to rollback your xbox kernel to a vulnerable kernel (4532 or 4548), AFAIK xbox live will not play run on these kernels. If that is correct (and i have no reason to believe it's not) then none of these people were cheating. All the other chips are pirate only chips (go on CD-drive to allow pirated games but cannot modify disc images).
So this is to do with "99%" piracy "0%" cheating "1%" running linux,etc
From what I remember the hacks weren't done by arbitrarily executing code, they were done by changing the game code itself.
errr, I'll assume you meant changing the game data, but your still wrong the backup chips allow fake CDs to pass the "is it a real CD & CD-drive test", the disc image is still protected using signatures and can not be modified.
These percentages are based on reported vulnerabilities for commercial and open source software. The actual vulnerabilities for all the proprietary or in-house built applications can be totally different as highlighted in the last section of this report under ClickToSecure, Cenzic’s managed service/SaaS findings.
It's a shame because it's quite a detailed report about web app vulnerabilities but slashdot make the 1 page with no centext into the title yet left out most of the web app info: 25% SQL injection 17% XSS 14% authentication (what sort of authentication flaws?) 8% path traversal 8% browser ? (What does that mean?) 7% code injection (injection into where?)...

AFAIK Australia doesn't have a space agency!

Euro agency is nothing to do with EU, but hey don't let that stop you!

Or was this some sort of civil antitrust suit?
A+ != A# != A#
C != C# (in fairness they are related)
There are several languages refereed to as D
F != F#
L != L#
M != M4
If you can't tell the difference between to similarly named programming languages perhaps programming isn't for you!
where are you googling? the only thing on the first page is the "Go!" wikipedia article which was created yesterday, AFTER Google launched their language
Google's is go, the other guys is go!, those who cannot tell the difference between the 2 should not be programming.
You are correct, it was added by somebody after reading about the go vs go! thing, before then ther wasn't even a reference on "go" disambiguation

so sudo that parses /etc/sudoers beforehand to find who can run the command and you can be elevated to? oh well that's totally different!

Using it manually you can, however AFAIK using it automatically there is no way to apply only security updates.
