aw dude, wtf is up with this anyway? does really anybody get a hard-on seeing a 7 yr old getting raped? totally un-sexy IMHO. but whatever.
but, if they want to trade it trough the freenet, whatever. It is encrypted and no one can "open" the data in my node (at least I hope so) and find that it is kid porn or other illegal crap. It is what I downloaded and used that matters. I would not give up the ability to anonymously trade stuff to be sure that no one is "trading kid porn" trough my node.
BTW, the "kid porn traders" can trade it by at least 100 different methods other than freenet, so, whats the point... And I don't give a rat's ass about this sick fuckers either.
I think initiatives like freenet are the response of geeks to some nastyness from the USA (and other) governments, like the patriot act and crap like that. Human beings are complex beasts and hate being observed in their intimacy, and it goes for a lot of shit we download off the internet. So, there will be a spyware/encryption war until the government totally outlaws encryption and we are all fucked.
Mind ya, I say this stuff but I'm not even affected by this things... In this country the piracy runs free and no one gives a shit, you can buy rips of movies and cds on the street for less than 2 USD. Same goes for software. Anti-piracy stuff is just starting here these days, but law enforcement and courts have a lot of more important stuff to deal with than kids using pirated windoze.
Fortunately, it seems not to be the case (windows-only voting system). You can use windows, or you can use the old system (ballots, paper, etc, not sure, I don't live in USA, here we use electronic voting machinery, which sucks).
Sign me in! Paying US taxes should be pretty damn easy when compared to the ones we currently pay around here like 60% of our incomes are used to pay fscking taxes.
Even if we had to pay both, the US taxes would likely be irrelevant.
sorry to nitpick on you, but I dont think any of USA's military budget is used to build AK47's... these are made in sweatshops all over the third world (and china). There are some knock-offs made in the balcans, too.
I do agree about the missiles, tough. Expensive shit, and they keep building thousands of them.
man you are so wrong (and so right at the same time)...
right, because \winnt\system32 is ofcourse a system directory and should be acessible only by admins.
wrong because winnt4 defaults to FAT for its root drive, and even if you choose NTFS, you end up with "everyone full controll(all)(all)" for the entire drive. So much for the average MS sysadmin out there.
hope they fixed it for the newer versions, never tried anything beyond nt4, it was enough shit for me to switch to linux & bsd.
See, once our friendly 3133t h4x0r has r00ted our box, and are currently finding his way to break the SELinux layer, it is pretty easy to spot him and kick his butt out of the server, change the root password, patch the hole that let him in, etc.
With standard linux, once he roots, you are basicaly fscked, since he will install his root-kit immediately and hide his activity from you. Tough luck.
I wish I had this think on my router... It got r00ted by some fuck from the netherlands. I was able to find it out in about 2 hours, since it acted a bit weird (shitty rootkit, probably), but god knows what he did in this meantime... So I had it reinstalled (no big deal, just NAT box), this time with better security (mandrake's "paranoid security").
See, the 2-identical-layer-security thing has saved my ass, since the dude had to stop at the router for a while to scan my network and prepare attacks on the inner boxes. Thank god I figured it out in time, if he fscked some ineer machine it would be hell.
It was pure luck, since obviously it was a shitty rootkit (ie, it fscked "ps" but not "pstree" or "top", for example). But, having 2-level security in the same machine makes pretty easy to quickly detect intruders and deal with them.
Heh, true enough... but GNU is Not Unix and we don't see anything like this in the GNU realm either. This sucks, because it would be a pretty nice feature for some directories like the ones where you put your documents or quake 3 config files...
the ancient VMS filesystem from the 80s (or is it 70s?) has a pretty smart and simple way to accomplish this: file versioning. Works like this: every time you save a file, instead of overwriting the old one, a new one is created, and the others are renamed like this: foo.txt;1 foo.txt;2 foo.txt;3... The number of versions the filesystem keeps is configurable per directory/file. Very good for a bunch of seventies programmers, eh? I wonder why no fscking UNIX filesystem that I know of offers something like this.
well this is partly true. if I want to use the built-in trackpad of ibooks and powerbooks i'm stuck with only 1 button, and it sucks. if i can plug in my M$ trackball optical everything works wonders, tough. but is kinda hard on small places or airplanes, for example. OTOH, my compcrap intel laptop has a nice synaptics trackpad, with scroll buttons and shit that is awesome.
er, I DO need network transparency and use it every day, albeit not in the way it was designed to work, but trough the ssh X hack. But it is still the good old X network transparency that has been in X for ages (first time I used it was in 1992 in some sparcs).

geez dude, (E)nlightenment already did that back in 1999 (0.14.4 i think) You "are able to have the same in Linux" for a long time.
cheers.

but Netscape does only support ActiveX (yuck!) on windows, so that's a show-stopper
as far as portability goes.

But how complex has a voting site to be anyway? I think one can
do it with the most primitive HTML, no need for fancy stuff.
Even lynx users could vote, if they could get their way without
candidate's pictures.

heh except that the AK-47 sucks ass as a rifle. shitty, shitty rifle.
