I would recommend you to read the book Security Engineering by Ross Anderson. It gives you a perspective of security from a lot of different fields. If you must secure stuff you have to think like an alien.
If people who were supposed to control the Defense satellites
in Britain had thought like an alien, none of their satellites
would have been hijacked,
but that story seems to be untrue:).
Anyway, secure your babies.
Some spoilage: LinPhone is a web-phone, (or Voice over IP software), running under Linux. It lets you phone to your friends using IP networks such as the internet...
It has the capacity to eventually work together with other VoIP software on other platforms (cause they're using a common protocol I guess).
I had a discussion in philosophy about this one, and I have to admit that this is some new form of antropocentrism (though not very explicit). People have always been in search of their own free will. They seem determined to establish something that accounts for this free will and they seemingly can't accept determinism, although this certainly doesn't imply that everyone leads a life in which he is doomed to 'live like a robot'. Even if there exists a 'demon' who can foresee everything, based on all the knowledge of every particle in the universe, this has no implications on us human beings, as we can't see or know everything. There are objections against reeling in free will through quantum mechanics. The first one is very obvious, though not a lot of people seem to realize this one. If we talk about free will, we talk about thinking something and then doing it, because we 'wanted' us to do what we thought about. How do we go from thinking to a microscopical process ? This is not something trivial that can be looked over... Secondly, if we accept the parallel universes or multiverse, how do we astabish ourselves as an entity who seems (to itself) as to live in only one universe. How come we have a concept of self (that's what its all about in the end, that's the difficult question:) ? Or are you prepared to accept that every time you take a decision, there begins to exist (there is no other reasonable expression for this) a clone of you who has chosen the other decision and now lives in a parallel universe ? To me this goes a little to far, but people have accepted stranger things before. Haven't got time to finish this one now, but i look forward to seeing your comments. Sory to have started a new thread:)

I really like the way they look at this:
Ordinarily this would only be the end of the world
'Only the end of the world', what is worse then the end of the world ? :)
Try RAT (robust audio tool) too.
No spoilage this time (cause redundantA guy called Simon Morlat apparently hacked a VoIP solution for Linux together.

Guess what's up at fnord.org :)
