While working as a consultant with multinational microchip manufacturer
Intel Corporation, Schwartz set up two ways of checking his Intel email via the Internet, and in an attempt to verify the security of one of Intel's
computers, he ran the "crack" password-guessing
program on an Intel password file. Intel considered the Internet access a
security breach, and the password crack to be theft of sensitive
information.
In March 1994, Schwartz was indicted on three felony counts of computer
crime under Oregon state law. He was convicted in July 1995, and sentenced in September 1995 to 5 years probation, 480 hours of
community service, and 90 days jailtime (which may be dismissed for
excellent behavior). Intel is also seeking $72,000 restitution.
Schwartz has spent over $130,000 on his legal defense, most of it
his own money, with additional contributions from individuals and
organizations on the Internet.
This current kernel section of LWN has a good overview of some current weirdness of what should be happening with the stable kernel. And here's a quote:
Where do important changes get tested? One would think that, now
that we finally have a development kernel again, non-trivial changes would
show up there before being merged into the stable 2.4 series. Thus, there
was some surprise when support for "hyperthreading" on PentiumIV processors went into 2.4.17-pre5. That support still does
not exist in 2.5, and has thus not seen the wider testing that it could
experience there.
The reasoning behind putting this change into 2.4, as explained by Alan Cox, is interesting. The claim that normal users
will not be affected by the change is standard. But Alan also points out that, due to the ongoing block I/O work, the 2.5 series "isn't usable for
that kind of thing in the near future." So, if a feature like
hyperthreading is to be tried out, it must be added to the stable kernel
series.
For apt to work to it's full potential you need a have a list of all available packages at the time in the current archive. Which debian has, so the question is how many of the other distros are doing this to make sure all the dependencies are currently in check? Cos I can see a lot of conficts to be had if there isn't one or isn't done properly.
Not everyone, I don't know what all this hub bub about the installer being bad is about, I personally like it and I'm sure a lot of other people out there like it as well, otherwise how could it have lasted this long? It works just about anywhere considering it's text based, and it's simple as heck, you just go through it step by step and at the end of it you reboot and it asks you a couple of simple questions and tasksel pops up so you can pick a couple of meta-packages to install the stuff you need, then you can also skip dselect altogether and go straight to apt, which I always do, I've used debian for 2 years and I still can't understand dselect. And god knows I don't need to with apt around;)
Right now ext3 is not in the official kernel but it is in Alan Cox's which is also synched to the latest version, of course you can patch the official to use ext3 with patches from here. They usually lag a couple of days behind for a patch to be available for the latest kernels , but a cvs snapshot should work fine if you can't wait that long for them to release an official patch.
TF for quake2? I'm sorry but that was called WeaponsFactor, TF was originally made for QuakeWorld (Q1), and Quake1 had the ability to write mods as well through it's own language QuakeC. There is also a boat load of old QuakeWorld mods still floating around and here in Australian QWTF is still going strong with servers still full of people, not as much as say CS, but it's one of those classic games that may never die.
About a week ago I brought a burner and then thought I'd go on a ripping spree, and normally I thought of using ogg as the default format. I was using grip/cdparanoia to do the ripping and oggenc for encoding with beta 3 of the vorbis-tools package from debian, I let the thing go and when I came back 3 hours later it was still encoding the 7th track, mind you I only have a 166. I think it's the VBR that was making it so terribly slow, anyways I had to stop it and was forced to use lame which was usually just 1-2 tracks behind the audio ripping.

30mb might not seem like a lot but I'm poor and have a 2.5g hd with only

Same with me for 2.2, I didn't even touch dselect after the install and then the very next day I just dist-upgraded to woody and since then I think I've only gone into dselect once to maybe try to learn how to use the damn thing but after doing a few things I just quit because I thought I would hose the system with the stuff I did. Since then I've never tried it again because I don't need to thanks to apt.
How much of a speed improvement can we expect? I just took 5 mins for it to start up on a box with a 166MMX and 24mb of ram. And it took close to 3 mins to render a page off the local server. Will it be as fast if not faster on slower machines? Because at most it takes netscape 4.73 30 secs to start up and about 10 secs to load a complicated page and that's only if the machine is already lagged to hell.
Most of the time I just use lynx because it good at handling cookies, but when I goto sites like hotmail that needs a browser that supports https I use w3m, but for thing that really need to be rendered properly I use links. w3m is good at rendering things but no where near as good as links. Try looking at a tv guide and you'll see the difference or even just goto hotmail. Anyways each of these browsers have something that the others don't, Lynx: Good with cookies, Everyone know the controls w3m: ssl, 80% perfect rendering links: 99.9% perfect rendering, can keep on smurfing while downloading files, great mouse support Stick them together and you'd have one cool text based browser, but until then I guess I have to keep switching for what works best on each web site.

Well it's not suprising since most of the optimised stuff has only been done in x86 asm.
WEll I've NEVER had any problems with it, but that's just me and my personal experience.

On another note http://www.everythinglinux.com.au stock plenty of Loki games and most of them are on special.

Yes with dpkg -L package, most if not all and more of the query options for rpm are in dpkg as well.
Oh my it seems the mighty kernel.org CAN be slashdotted even with it's 100mbits connection.
Hows about Programming Perl, that's got lots of programming focus or whatever it is it's got.
