"However, for open source projects, where should the RFP be sent? "
Send an email to the author, and if there is a mailing list associated with the project then send one to the mailing list. That is usually the best place to get the information that you want.
Partially true. There are Internet Appliances, they just cost about $1000 USD and are more for specific tasks. Some are real IA's, but most are specific tasked computers.
Personally I think that people today (US citizens at least) want stuff that is big. Large SUV's, large homes, big dogs, and big powerful computers. The internet appliances are small, underpowered (usually less than 200MhzCPU) peices of crap. Lets take Audry, what does it have about a 200Mhz CPU, 16Mgs of RAM? Any local storage? Can it do anything else other than just sit there and get your email and suft the web? Does it support plugins like flash, shockwave, real audio? Is it a cheap nic?
I do like the new palms coming out though. Color is nice but not necessary, but the ones like the Palm VIIx with memory and wireless is pretty cool.
I think the big problem with Internet Applinces is that they come with the service and many people want to pick an choose. Audry is nice as it comes with no service now, but it looks crapy.
I use SB Live with Rh 7.1 and it is okay. I use 2.4.10 but they had support in 2.4.2 for my card I think.
Swithc from ipchains to iptables, they are much better, but even is you must stick with the old then there is support for ipchains, maybe not in the install though. XFree 4.1 should recgonize your viper card.
Not sure about the rest. They should be supported though.
I'm a little quirky genious but my shit works! I recently started working for a company after being laid off fron a dot com that, well shut down and laid everyone off. At this company they had me port their application and app scripts to another platform. I did it, with some help and yes I had a few tiffs with people. I guess my quirk is that I am hard to get along with and I expect to much of other people. Needless to say though the company can tut that their product now runs on another platform cause of me.
This guy sounds more like an idiot, and the guy who hired him without meeting him first was dumb. 'okay hire him' even though I never meet the guy.
I have meet people who "know the talk" but cannot do the actual work. I think the real thing to do is to come up with a quiz that makes the techie think and have to solve a problem or two. Don't ask stupid coding questions! Anybody can learn the mechanincs of coding, but only a the real codes can troubleshoot a problem and fix things, and isn't that what you relly want? The ones that can learn and think (I hate to sound cliche) outside the box. Those that can determine what works and what does not work.
While I am not a 'song swapper', but what is to stop them at just the song swappers? Oh I'm sorry I thought you were a song swapper.
My system would log their IP address first, then it may scan their open ports (host, traceroute, and maybe nmap) to collect some more information on them, then maybe I'll tell my ISP and the Feds that I am being hacked by Oshitta Bitch Laden and really f*** up their day. Tell them I got their IP and route to host. Maybe find a way to traingulate the exact location of the incomming signal through some ip mapping program. LOL.. hahaha....
If someone starts hacking at my computer and tries establishing a new connection or spoofing a connection my machine will log this and in the future if this happens enough I may have it launch a couter attack.
Lets face it if someone hacks software or a site it is against the law, but they want to be able to hack your computer? I think not, what is to stop them after that of getting into your financials or address book or mucking up your system by mistake.
.. if they are not truely open. Having "paid for" patented technology means that you could potentially be prevented from seeing data on sites cause your browser does not or cannot support something (not that that does not already happen ->quicktime / gif).
I think the reality is that M$ who works heavily with these standards to implement them could end up patenting stupid crap and charging apple and hp (and everyone else) lots.
"I can go to the public library, open a hotmail account, and e-mail and browse anonymously. "
Yup and that is what spammers do. How many people really tell the truth when they open up hotmail, yahoo, or any other free email account? Not all I can tell you that.
There is also ways of knowing what someone is doing on a web site and doing lots of tracking. When I worked for a web portol, we knew where a user came to our site from, weather it was a search engine, or a link on another site. We knew
what pages they viewed. We knew how they navigated through the site, and often how they left the site. I can totally see why the need for anomymous browsing. You are being watched on the net.
In light of sept 11, I think they think that they may have been providing this service to bin laden or some of his people, and this could be true, but it is no reason to stop.
I also wonder if they will get suid by someone if they make the 'secret names' public. I wonder what their user agreement said. Sounds like this could launch a civil action suit against a company that says 'we'll protect your privacy', and then doesn't.
Personally I have nothing to hide. So I just use mozilla and reject the cookies. If you know that I am on a porn site we'll duh, I'm over 18 and it's legal (for now) in this country.
You obviously never listen to college radio.. there are some decent college radio stations where they are not 'seeling' out to the riaa or promoters, they are playing what they like and have.
I don't buy cd's tapes, records, mp3, etc any more.. if it is not on the radio then I don't hear it. And you know what I don't care anymore. The radio is free you can make requests.
I don't think I should give any more money to the RIAA and well half the 'artists' out these days usually suck anyway.
Go ahead and moderate this down as overrated and let your ass bleed profusely for moderating this down!
Whay not jsut require that mail servers archive a copy of each letter sent. It is possibly. Usually mail servers just delete the mail after it is sent, it could be easily made to archive a copy of each email. Then you can send it all as spam to the FBI and see how long it takes them to read. I know I have a tough time reading the email I get each day.
.. adds your fingerprint to a global FBI like database, that is used with MS passport and knows all the porn sites you visit... once it knows who you are it does not let you out of its site..
I know that there have been so many sci fi movies, but wasn't there a movie about something like this?
I know that there have been a lot of movies that have portraid hackers to be the bad guys, but there have also been some shows that portray them as the good guys. Independance day where he hacked the enemy and blew up the mother ship. The movie hackers where they saved the oiltanker. I think one of the big reasons that hackers got such a bad rap was that movie with mathew brodrick in it that portraid hackers as bad guys and the goverment was trying to lock them up, rather than getting his help.
Now being a war vetran myself (Desert Storm), I can tell you that if the goverment wants to recruit hackers then I'd say that is probably the best way to serve your country. You would probably not have to fire a gun, you could do what you like, and if htey are understanding and don't get in your way (hahaha) then you can pretty much write your own ticket at that point. Anyway I'd do it, if I were a hacker.
The fact is that java applets sort of suck.. ever since Microsoft and Sun had their court battle, Microsoft started killing Java. If Microsoft does not support it many people stop using it. That is just the way it is.
Well that is hot the only reason. Java applets do not perform the same way in all browsers. Each version of Netscape supports a different JVM. Even on different platforms, the same version of NEtscape did not support the same JVM. I tried this once and found my applet was different in IE on windows 95/98 and differnt on NT and different on LInux. Then mozilla is a different JVM, which crashes my browser, so I don't use it.
There is also little reason to use applets. The only effective place I have seen a java applet was a chat application that was a trusted applet. Outside of trusted applets, you really cannot do a whole lot.
I think the other reason is that they take to long to load on a page. I have only seen a few good applets.
May your ass bleed profusely for every negitive moderation point this post gets!

it is rediculous. I do not think it is anyone's fault but those that abuse the technology.
I think the big difference here is that most people at some point in the Linux commuintiy start to look at security as part of the system, not like Microsoft where security is only now being thought of.
Lets face it Linux comes and has come with ipchains and now iptables for firewalling and many other UNIX flavors have similar features. Linux and the UNIX community think about things like proxy firewall combinations, where Windows is only now starting to think about this. It is not until the release of XP (or the anticipated release as it is not out) that windows is by default including a firewall.
People in the unix community also tend to be more aware of what is going on on their system. They have logs and there are tools to view them.
While I do not dismiss the possiblity that if Linux / UNIX got to be as popular as windows then there would be more 'attempts' I think that because of the nature of Linux you would have a much harder time of spreading a worm like code red.
A good UNIX administrator is going to spend time in configuring his web server and securing it. If they do not think about this then they are no good.
If you are wondering how secure your computer is try these two site. They'll help, but don't try this at work or you may piss off your admins.

Haven't you ever seen the movies.. the sky is pink.. it is a beautiful day to die.. but the birds are singing.. yet the clouds are gray.. sure it means nothing in an email, but if you have some secret "decoder ring" then these sentances can have new meanings.. meanwhile the FBI, CIA are all wondering why Akmed is talking about the F**k*** sky...
I remember hearing that in WWII they used other languages, like some american indian language to do encryption..

I think CNet came up with PRISM years before that, and it is a template based language. It is now sold as StoryServer.

Yeah.. they were to lazy to install a real OS like Unix/Linux/BSD... hey even if they kept NT or Windows, they could have at least used Apache!
