back when $300 was £150 i would have picked this up for lectures in a second but now its £200 ill probably give this a miss. I do however think this is very useful devices as its almost impossible to find a cheap tablet, im yet to find anything for less than about £700 ($1000).
Hell if the ARM chipset gives it a longer battery life than i normal laptop id defiantly get one and drop my POS acer for a usb keyboard and mouse.
A quick skim of the manual provides no reason you couldn't implement it using a networking daemon (running with network socket privileges) and a file daemon (running possibly as root, preferably with lower privileges) instead of one process as root which means that any remote exploit in the samba code means the attacker has root on you box.
But if your data was at risk of being visible due to magnetic history or likely heads moving and replaced sectors then they can recreate your encrypted hard drive and brute force the password (a GPG passkey may help if they couldnt recover that of your memory pen). TBH the only way to be sure is to melt the drive or not be wanted by the NSA, FDE is a good enough messure just as running linux makes your boxes safer, but against a powerful adversary you dont stand a chance.
While i appreciate that this will be very usefull, I'd rather they worked on not requiring samba to run as root (or at least not the networked part) as it seams to be the victim of an increasing number of attacks because of this. Perhaps SELINUX and apparmour have me protected but seeing a network demon running as root always seams like a dumb idea to me.
once you're into the system and have it in muscle memory
I think thats the problem, im not a fast typer but i can type das & saw damb fast due to my gaming experience while and im sure older users are particularly fast with ghjkyn (not sure what you can make with no valves though). at the end of the day it all comes down to experience instead of which is the better keyboard layout.
why are you modded funny? is there any reason that the cpu memory cannot be attacked in a similar way to standard memory? The hardware you need to pull it off is probably a bit more obscure but is there a reason that you cant stick a cold CPU in a multicpu board and read its memory from a second CPU?
I don't think your trolling but you are surely aware that you can get paid support for almost any distro or FOSS software out there. ReadHat, Novell & Canonical are the first three that spring to mind but there are countless others, both 1st and 3rd party for most distros.
CoWPAtty can already do 18,000 keys/s , while this might help in generating the hashes its probably worth working out a hash table for your victim the night before anyway.
Or not even using something that is transmitted over the internet and is partly pseudorandom:
There, fixed that for you.
AFAIK, ive only read a few mans here, but urandom will use all the random avalible in random iff it runs out it will use the PRNG to extend it so both of you are wrong
/dev/random is the reason you were getting short keys. using/dev/urandom about 50 times didnt give any short keys
if you insist on using/dev/random, not really much point as you can just change your keys if the algorithm is found wanting, then you have to check that there is enough entropy "cat/proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail" before you run it
i dunno, i was sort of hoping he would be less of a douche, but you do have a point. If the American people took that kind of crap from bush and many still voted for mccain, surely obama could just do the same.
Its a shame that its a mere fraction of what it could have been. Back when it was young, I felt that it would eventually encompass almost anything useful and leverage the fact they were web based to their advantage (spoiler tags were genius), but now when i look something up i prey that it hasn't been deleted already:(
No it wont, if the media has just 1 viewer, which is likely the case for unpopular information then bittorrent will just add overheads and give no benifit.
ktorrent isnt great for resources but i find nice & ionice can stop it slowing down desktop preformance. I often wonder why the current active program isn't given a nice boost though so i don't need to remember to tell the background programs (torrent, email, irc, etc)

Qt Becomes LGPL

Last time i checked kubuntu still had 30% of ubuntus users (or 40% if you want to play numbers) but it is poorly maintained.
my main cause of that is firefox, which can be worked around by setting ui.allow_platform_file_picker to false [1] hopefully the qt port of firefox will eventually work too.
Before you used to pay trolltech for the license so you could keep your code closed, now you pay them nokia for support. Id think if the entire business plan has changed, its a bit harsh to assume that the support will be poor.
Do you think that it would take more than five minutes for a foreign hostile agent to rip out the batteries so it cant be wiped?
but this is a moo point as the issue is about privacy, not security. Whereas what is discussed over the phone can be forgotten when needed, what is sent by email is stored and so he cant "not recall" those emails he sent to the some big oil exec.

yeah but the gnome guys implement the same thing and the partially washed masses that use ubuntu suddenly get to play.
from what ive read of Kde4, they also already have JS for alot of the plasma widgets

whats it like compaired to XFS or reiser though?
im sticking with the killerfs unless ext4 can fsck in a reasonable amount of time, ext3 is ridiculous.
To save power and because some hardware sucks (e.g my hdd is screwed and can take my system down)

Bittorrent is also terrible for streaming.
