For places that need better passwords, $ md5sum - lot of random text pounded on the keyboard and result is something like 24a53bc05c6f216e340aa8d5dc08b605
That checksum becomes the password.
that may be a secure password, but many (most?) sites don't allow it as it doesn't have a mix of capitals, puntiation marks, etc.
Not just the "re-enter password" page. If you enter an email address in the normal facebook search box, facebook will show you the name of the account that uses that email address (though not the photo, if it is blocked).
China and other countries are making a national standard on mobile phone chargers using the USB standard.[13] Starting in 2010, Apple, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and RIM will begin making handsets with a standard phone charger based on the micro-USB connector
But the shown resistors don't look like the standard micro-USB connector. So is Apple breaking it's prommisses?
Or am I missing something?
Who decides that? And what happens to a smart invester that buys stock at $0.01 that usually trades at $40, to quickly later sell it at $30?
Will the $0.01 buys be cancelled, but the $30 sells not be cancelled? But that would leave you with a short position, having to buy them back at $40. May be very expensive.
As others reported, flash worked in previous Ubuntu versions. However, I and a coworker of mine noticed flash being too slow for full screen youtube movies in 9.04. After upgrading to RC 9.10, I can watch youtube flash movies in full screen again.
(after downloading the.flv file I could always view them with totem etc full screen no problem, so it was a flash-related problem)
Hiroshima and Nagasaki both got 1 10 megaton warhead
wikipedia suggests you are about 3 orders of magnitude wrong: It created a blast equivalent to about 13 kilotons of TNT. (The U-235 weapon was considered very inefficient, with only 1.38% of its material fissioning.) The radius of total destruction was about one mile (1.6 km), with resulting fires across 4.4 square miles (11.4 kmÂ)
Radius of total destruction for a 100 Megaton bomb would thus be about 31 kilometers (20 miles) using your 3-rd power law, enough to totally destruct most large cities. Assuming 1 million inhabitants per city, 6000 nukes is enough nukes to kill everyone on earth in such big cities.
there is really nothing in F/OSS of interest to the general consumer market that isn't available for Windows.
At a price. The $400 linux version is able to edit/create word files; if you want to do the same with the $400 win version, you'll have to pay $179 extra for the home/student version of office.
CSS isn't really a copy protections scheme though, in fact it provides no protection at all against copying the DVD. I could easily distribute a.iso file over the internet that could then be burned to a DVD and played in a regular DVD player.
(Part of) the CSS keys are stored in an area on the DVD that is not present/writable in writable DVDs (at least not those sold in normal shops).
Quoting:
Some of the keys are stored on the lead-in area of the disk, which is generally only read by compliant drives. Keys can be passed from a DVD drive to a descrambler over a PC bus using a secure handshake protocol. [1]
...
CSS can only be added to replicated DVDs. A duplicated DVD, i.e. DVD burned from recordable media such as DVD-R or DVD+R cannot have CSS. The lead-in area of these media does not have the proper track to store CSS information.
These resellers can sometimes get you built-to-order machines. Those, on the other hand, are often more expensive than a similar stock machine WITH Vista Pro
Noticed the same in The Netherlands. When on holiday in Bulgaria, I saw in ordinary shops several brand-laptops without windows (some without OS, some with linux). These tended to be the lower-end models, but dropping windows did appear to reduce the price by about 100 EUR for a comparable model. Also, the windows-less moddels were the ones with OSS-friendly graphics and wireless cards.
So, I bouth my Toshiba Satellite L40-17O in Sofia in a shop that somewhat resembles 'mediamarkt'. They still have a windows-less laptop available (845 Lev = 435 EUR), so at least in some EU countries it is possible to by laptops without Windows. Maybe the market in new EU memberstates is more free than in the old memberstates?
Clarify something here for me: what the hell does your CPU have to do with it?
Until recently, the intel graphics cards were the only ones that had open source 3d drivers. So you have to get intel graphics cards, and thus(?) an intel CPU
EULA's impose extra restrictions on top of what copyright gives (cannot reverse engenier, etc); while the GPL gives extra rights over what copyright gives (can run, copy, etc as often as you want). If you claim not to have read the GPL license, you would have been bound to normal copy right law, and not have been allowed to distribute the program at all.
I managed to buy a thinkpad T60 in the Netherlands a few weeks ago with a preemptive windows (XP) refund. The dealer removed the OS and gave me a discount for the OEM price, which was 129.71 euros, about 190 dollars.
As my current laptop is falling appart, and I live in the Netherlands, I would like to know where you managed to get that refund (mijn email: joostje apestaartje komputilo.org).
If you buy your software from a Linux vendor like Red Hat, you obviously have to pay for licenses [...]
OK, if I buy disks from Red Hat, I have to pay for the disks -- but I don't think you *have* to pay for the licenses; you can get free versions if you want. You pay only for support.
the kernel hacker in question basically told me that he wasn't interested in helping
me.
And who gave you the binary for the kernel? The kernel hacker himself? If not, he's under no obligation to give you the source (at least not by te GPL).
Yeah, I know what the social contract says, but semantic games about "debian" vs "debian system" aside, I think if I can download a.deb package of software from a debian server then I was say its 'part of debian'.
Yes, I know that's what (some/many) people think. And that's why I wanted to stress that non-free isn't really part of Debian.
Also, try an architecture other than i386, and suddenly non-free shrinks a lot, while the 'real' debian just stays what it is on i386. Then you'll see what is really part of Debian, and what isn't.
Excuse me? I'm not Debian expert but as far as I know the normal process for new packages is to issue an ITP (intent-to-package) stating among other things the license of the package and send a copy to debian-devel -- this is all documented in the developers-reference. New licenses are typically sent to debian-legal for review.
You are absolutely right, for packages in main. I'm not sure about packages outside main (those in non-free). However, as you notice, none of the above includes asking SPI for permission, so even if licenses of non-free packages need to be sent to debian-legal etc, that still wouldn't have been a need to consult SPI.
It may well be that errors have been made, I just don't see how SPI can be so offended about being sidelined, when there wasn't a need to consult SPI anyway.
1) The fight is caused by the potential movement of java from non-free to free.
I think you are wrong here. Could you provide a link to a message where anyone is discussiong moving java from non-free to free in debian? All discussion I read was about including java in non-free at all.
2) Java was in debian - non-free is part of debian, just not supported or on the CDs:-)
We have created "contrib" and "non-free" areas in our archive for these works. The packages in these areas are not part of the Debian system, although they have been configured for use with Debian.
the new debian project leader acepts a legal arangement with Sun
From my reading of the thread, the project leader accepted a legal argument from sun, when sun confirmed it's OK to distribute java. The project leader (or ftp-masters) then went on to add java to the non-free archive, without consulting SPI. This is BTW the same as ftp-masters does with other non-free packages (they themselves deside whether to include them in non-free or not). Usually debian doesn't really care very mutch what goes into non-free, as that isn't an official part of debian anyway.
I guess I'm not a target user of their system since I just want Java to work on my system without being strip searched and violated.
The discussion here is about including non-free software in the non-free archive. This is done on a regular basis by the Debian ftp-masters team, and each time they themselves read the lisence, judge it, and decide whether it can be allowed into the non-free archive.
So the adding of the java packages to non-free looked just like a routine job, that ftp-masters handed the way they do with all non-free software. This time they even took more precausions, and asked the sun team if inclusion in the debian non-free archive was OK. And it seems that that is when the discussions on debian-flamware started.
I guess I'm not a target user of their system since I just want Java to work on my system without being strip searched and violated.
Of cource, that's the reason Debian is arguing: to ensure that *you* can use the distribution without being strip searched. The sun java licenses do have some strange clauses.
The java packages are (if at all) only included in non-free, and that isn't part of the official debian. So yes, it may be a big fight, AFAIK the cause of the fight (the java packages in non-free) is only about an extra service Debian provides to it's users, not about debian itself.

you crawl https on mail.nonlocalhost.com, and discover it claims to be domain "mail", and present a cert for domain "main".

(and yes, it'll be cheaper than if you order it with Windows).
When I (from the dutch site) look it up, its 369 EUR for the Linux version with a 1024x600 display, and 359 EUR for the windows version (with a 1366x768 display). So, at least on the dutch HP site the linux version is not cheaper.
