One of the major causes of the Potato famine in Ireland was the reliance on a single product (the potato) and an inability to shift to a more varied diet.
Well duh. We've goot woody, sarge, etch and now lenny; anybody still running potato must be nuts! These people should just upgrade and won't have to worry about Conficker any more.
Actually, that must be your settings giving Troll an additional -2 or somthing. I've never changed anything and I see it as +5 too.
As to your RTFF comment, if you meant the FAQ, I did look and there's nothing about +5 Troll there.
As to my OP, I find it kind of funny how people can't decide how to mod it. It's been going up and down for some time now, and honestly nowhere in hell would I have imagined somebody would actually mod it informative. Troll? Fine. Funny? Great. But informative? WTF?
I must be doing something wrong then. I run my own mail server too, and I get maybe 3-5 attempts at relaying a mail to somewhere else per day, and maybe one or two spam attempts per day. Some of which are filtered by SPF or reverse DNS checks, the rest is up to dspam to catch.
IANAC (I am not a cryptographer), but isn't that only a problem if you use the "inverse" of the first key for the second encryption, where DES(key2) == DES^-1(key1)?
An additional layer of encryption can't be bad. If it's a good implementation with no critical bugs and backdoors, great, you've just made it harder for someone to get your data. If it isn't, it's still no worse than storing plain text.
Just don't rely on this as your only security measure.
As for general issues with random packages messing up cross-compiling - yeah, it sucks. Your best bet is using a collection of patches and build scripts like OpenEmbedded, as you already do. Can't help you there if it doesn't work, but maybe you can try a different build environment like OpenWrt or ptxdist (though at least the latter is much smaller than OpenEmbedded)
The toolchain itself should be relatively easy, though. Have a look at crosstool-ng, it does the same thing as the original crosstool, but works with recent versions of gcc/glibc/binutils. Also, it has a really nice menuconfig interface.
But you see, if you are going to start flaming on slashdot, you should try very hard to read the article (you can do it, just get plenty of sleep beforehand). You have to do it just to cover your ass. Otherwise you get flamed yourself. Asshole.
Okay, didn't think about gzip encoding, so I guess this puts this into some perspective.
Still, the doctype is a rather long string, and if they added all attributes which are required by the W3C spec but current browsers can do without, it would probably still add up. Not as much as without compression, but multiplied by hundreds of millions of page views per day, it probably still makes a difference.
Just look at the source. I guess they are optimizing for size - makes sense when you consider the enourmous number of page loads. Similarly, they use one-letter javascript variables and very short function names a lot.
Firefox even has everything needed to defeat this already built in - it's just not enabled by default. By setting browser.identity.ssl_domain_display to 1 in about:config, it displays a blue strip left of the URL with the last two parts of the domain name, similar to the green strip with the registrant's name for EV certs.
They should enable this by default, and whoops, the iiijk.cn attack described in the PDF is instantly obvious.
I don't think the 2-3 year range is enough for availability. Yes, 3G works in most cities here, but what good is a navigation system that stops working once you get lost in the middle of nowhere?
Also, while $250 per month might be acceptable for you, it's not something the average consumer is willing to pay. Yet, GPS is most usefule in areas where you don't know your way around, i.e. abroad. If I only use it once or twice per year, I wouldn't even pay $25 per month for international roaming (and we're nowhere near that ATM). For the record, my current plan is €6 per month, which includes 25MB of data (and with GPRS only, I don't even use all of that).
I'm still using my 4 year old Windows Mobile phone because nobody has yet released offline GPS software. Seriously, most new smartphones have built-in GPS, and nobody thinks about that? Google Maps is not an option because 3G is not available everywhere, and even where it is, it costs way too much. (No, flatrates don't count either, because I wouldn't need one otherwise.)
Same goes for the iPhone. Apple has its market locked up, but Google doesn't - so why are there no decent options?
I dont't have one, but it seems the 5D Mk II is already out. On Geizhals, an Austrian price comparison website (Google translation), numerous retailers list it as available. At €2380 (the cheapest one that actually has it in stock) it's not exactly cheap, but then again, most professional DSLRs aren't.
This is great for those of us who use testing or unstable, because we will now get updates again.
BTW, does anyone here know why they had to freeze unstable too? Obviously they have to freeze testing because a release is essentially a snapshot of testing at a point where it is considered stable, but why couldn't they just freeze testing with updates going into unstable like they always do?
This is about using PGO when compiling GCC, not about using PGO *with* GCC. I guess one could learn a bit by studying the internals, but there are probably better materials available than that.

Effecticly, this is to sexually transmitted virusses as all of us screwing everyone else at the same. The internet is a gangbang of computers.
Just put a condom on your ethernet cable. That should stop the viruses for good.

Is a +5 Troll mod an achievement too? I'd love to find out... Please?

Is the "you" singular or plural?
I'd like to point out that teen pregnancy drops off significantly after age 25.
If you go with this, make sure you don't employ Mrs. Roberts...

something that to many people and organizations is still considered a valued piece of software.
There's the problem. People consider XP more valuable than Vista and are willing to pay extra for it, so they charge extra.

Windows clearly isn't ready for the desktop.
It's called health insurance. Most developed nations have it. The rich pay way more than the poor, so that even the poor can afford medical care.
Sucks to live in the USA I guess.

Will I get an eBeer when I go to the ePub?
Q: why do you need 10x the battery life?
A: because under arm applications are 10x slower
And, of course, with x86 you can type 10x faster.
