Is exactly what you need to "write down" passwords with. You only need remember a single password to decrypt the database. And since the database uses Blowfish, it is pretty damn good.
I have over 50 username/password combos stored in mine with a strong password to open the database itself.
If you need to write down a password, this is the way to do it.
Every had a user download a rootkit and mess with the system?
That is not so much the fault of Lynx however. If you give someone shell access they can use netcat, or wget, or ftp... and get a rootkit. If they have shell access they likely have access to compilers, and then they could enter code through the shell, compile and run it against the system. While Lynx has had its share of problems you cannot fault it in this manner... ANY tool that allows you to download and execute a rootkit is bad.
My guess as to why id does not support this is manpower vs. usage. IIRC, you could use dual procs with Quake 3 only on NT/2k/XP... This is likely because Carmack realized that the most common userbase for dual proc and gaming would be users on a windows machine. With signifigantly fewer users on Mac and Linux, and even fewer of THOSE running Dual Procs, it probably did not make much sense for Carmack to change the code for these OS's to add dual processor capability.
Carmack is one smart cookie. I suspect that it would take much more than a simple recompile for Linux and Mac OS to support dual procs on Doom and Quake...
Imagine OS X on cell... with the collusion between Apple and IBM, and OS X running on open hardware... This could be the killer OS that supplants windows.
Linux wont do it (not in the desktop arena, it does kick ass in the server area though) but OS X could very well.
That would be something to see, and I would bet, that much software that was OS X capable on Cell would ALSO be Linux capable (perhaps a recompile by the vendor? maybe native... not certan here.)
Would be nice to have a stable easy to use OS as the dominant platform. Of course, the irony would be that if this did become the case, then I suppose that Apple would eventually become as lazy and as dominant as Microsoft.
but I would think this scheme would be exploited mercilessly by kids who simply brought their candy bars in from home, ordered the "good" food and threw half of it away.
And if they DONT get candy bars from home? What if this is the only method they have for lunches - this is what I had in college when I basically lived in a box (although they called them dorm rooms...)
The meals cost money - and I had to eat them. I suspect that not all these kids have the dispensible income to just "bring" candy bars. If they did, then they would probably not even bother with the good food at all.
Back in the day I overclocked a Celeron 300A to 450. It is still running, in fact, it is sitting next to me.
I am currently typing this on an AMD 2500+ (barton) overclocked to 3200+.
Why would I do this? Speed. I play games. I want the max FPS I can get out of my machines. As simple as that. Is my stuff brand new expensive hardware? No. Not anymore. But it was when I built both systems. *
* (Ultra top of the line? No, but then I bought the parts specifically because they were know good overclocking parts.)
I swear, each time he comes out with a new article about a given toy that does "XYZ" or can be hacked in some way I am compelled to go out and buy one and tinker with the damn thing.
Stop Robert! Stop for the sake of my pocketbook and my sanity!!!
Frankly speaking, MythTV isn't TiVO, and your mileage may vary. My current uptime is 18 days on my mythtv box. For my wife, a MythTV crash (frontend or backend, she can't tell) results in a computer reboot to bring it back up for her because she's willing to hit the power button but not willing to learn to restart it.
Not that it matters much, but your could trap something in/etc/inittab to restart mythtv...
Of course, you probably don't really care, and I doubt your wife does either. Still, if you want for uptime this might help.
My boss is taking the entire office to see Star Wars. He is footing the bill. And here is the most amazing part. He hates Star Wars. However, he knows everyone in the office is yakking about it, so, he decided to take everyone in the office to see it.
I just got Asterisk@Home 1.0 up and running last night, and I was researching Canadian VOIP providers (specifically on Vancouver Island). I found, to my surprise that almost all of them support MGCP and not SIP.
Apparently, Asteriks works great with SIP, but is a real beast with MGCP...
So personally I hope that this regulation brings in smaller players who support SIP and will allow me to hook up a local VOIP connection in Victoria...
As an aside - are there any Canadian (preferably in B.C.) users of Asterisk out there who are running a good VOIP setup? If so, what provider do you use?

as the time goes, the tv will probably become less and less social activity...
I am amazed that TV can even be CONSIDERED to be a social activity...
I would set up an internal page that allowed you to click a button on a PHP enabled page that would read:
Do you want to block listed sites?:
[BLOCK] [UNBLOCK]
Then, if you clicked "block" it would block port 80 to all outside access except the internal page.
That would provide a way of blocking the listed sites.......... (BOFH does ISP)
So, just how small is a Nanotechnology Protest?
And would you need an electron microscope to see it?

Further digging for bear fossils revealed a shovel, a forest ranger hat, and a partial parchement fragment with the words:

Antropologists are currently looking for assistance in decoding the parchement.

That has to be the worst pun on Slashdot in a very long time.
Yeah, I know. We are out of coffee here at the office and I just can't think straight.
Shocking. Simply shocking.
I remember this happening when downmoading a Red Hat iso back in the day - I can't remember if it was 5.X or 6.X ...
Anyways... I had downloaded the iso on a 33.6 modem.
I felt like this code was in IE on purpose:

1 Litre of Chocolate Soy Milk on your keyboard requires a large amount of time in the college chem lab using distilled water to remove the "deposits".
(I used tap water to start, distilled to finish)
Congealed Chocolate Soy Milk is bad. Worse even than how people view it in its un-congealed state.
The letter Q still does not work properly on that keyboard...

From TFA:
Yoda in a lot of action, more cool bad guys, and no Jar Jar (well, at least no Jar Jar dialogue)
You see, I searched through the TFA's and what is missing is very dissapointing:
Jar Jar dies in a hideous 5 min torture scene where Annie cuts him slowly into kebabs with his lightsaber.
That scene alone would have made the movie. Hopefully, someone will add it later.
