  1. Re:I always disable those on New Linux Kernel Flaw Allows Null Pointer Exploits · · Score: 1

    AppArmor is a security module that allows to associate to each process (binary perhaps, I do not know exactly) a exact list of files it can access. The point is that even if apache is running as root and is corrupted, it can not read or modify files from /etc or /usr...

    For the record. They made the same operation in France and it was sold^wpre-ordered 50 euros.

  5. Re:What a great thing for Open Source! on 0 A.D. Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    I am curious to see how open sourcing the game will improve it.

    I don't know. My 80x24 serial terminal does not allow me to play Freeciv.

  7. altough D20 is nice, on The Best Game Engines · · Score: 1

    I still prefer the old fashioned advanced dungeon and dragon 2 rule set.

  8. Re:Why I hate Linux on US Postal Service Moves To GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    If you had recompile the arithmetic module of your browser, it would have been ok. Fucking noob can't read the documentations...

  9. Re:Postfix! on US Postal Service Moves To GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    just have to put stuff in /var/mail.

  10. Re:Find It Yourself on US Postal Service Moves To GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    I wonder if I will receive open source packages.

  11. Re:WTF is a LAN these days? on The Evolution of Multiplayer Games and Online Play · · Score: 1

    And even more than just the connectivity issue. Playing in LAn is much more fun since you are physically with the people you are playing. And that is fun. And no, skype is no replacement for that.

  12. Re:A step towards charging to play on The Evolution of Multiplayer Games and Online Play · · Score: 1

    "the eventual goal is to squeeze money out of every second of time the gamers play the game" I loved so much putting the game on pause for hours...

    slashdoting the website is enough :)

  16. Re:Amusingly.. on R.I.P. FTP · · Score: 1

    You missed the point I believe. It is not enough that YOUR machine is clean. You need all the machines in the network to be clean. Otherwise, they are going to scan the network and you are fucked. (and switch is not the answer)

    You need the transaction to be encrypted.

  17. You guys don't read /. enough on Tomorrow's Science Heroes? · · Score: 2, Funny

    In a poll, Cowboy Neal is the only reasonnable answer.

  18. Re:A war of attrition... on French "3 Strikes" Law Returns, In Slightly Altered Form · · Score: 1

    I would love a law that allows you to punch a politician if you believe he is doing shit. I would vote for anyone that proposes that.

  19. Re:The court gets all of 3 options, right? on French "3 Strikes" Law Returns, In Slightly Altered Form · · Score: 1

    I love being french those days...

    I understand you man. I am a french currently working in the US and applying for a academic position back there. And I am really considering not coming back. Sure the US is not the ideal country I would like to live in, but I start wondering I could prefer to live in America than in Gattaca-BePoorAndDontComplain^wFrance.

  20. Re:Could be worse on French "3 Strikes" Law Returns, In Slightly Altered Form · · Score: 1

    There is really a huge separation between the judiciary and the executive/legislature system in france. Frirst from the institution and then because they hate each other,

  21. Boring question. on Which Language Approach For a Computer Science Degree? · · Score: 1

    We are having the very same question each quarter with the very same answer. Can the editors point the submitters to an other very similar thread instead of putting this on the main page of the best news website ever ?

  22. Re:3 Languages are a good start on Which Language Approach For a Computer Science Degree? · · Score: 1

    If you learn only three languages, you should learn three different one to cover the main programming techniques. So one imperative programming language (C for instance). One object programming language (Smalltalk ?). And one functional programming language (caml ? haskell ? lisp ?). That is I believe the core of programming languages. All the rest is Syntactic Sugar.

  23. Re:Algorithms and Data Structures on Which Language Approach For a Computer Science Degree? · · Score: 1

    They won't understand. It is not a slashdot car analogy (TM).

  24. Not impressed on Software Converts 2D Images To 3D · · Score: 1

    what's new here ? Three dimensional reconstruction from images or video are not really new. The INRIA does it for a long time ( http://grimage.inrialpes.fr/index.php ) and even forked a startup that works with the cinema industry ( http://www.4dviews.com/ ). I even recall a demo which is two or three years old where a guy playd street fighter in front of several cameras. I was not able to RTFA (slashdotted), so can someone enlighten me ? Is the novelty the webservice ?

  25. Re:What else is there to use besides SQL on Enthusiasts Convene To Say No To SQL, Hash Out New DB Breed · · Score: 1

    well, the dat file is only the stored version of the 'database', you still keep a daemon running to manage the access to it. Or even a several daemons. That's basically what a DHT is.
