Inside a (numbered) context, vservers offer a root user that doesn't have all capabilities, such as for modifying the ifconfig, routing table,/dev/kmem, etc. You cannot break out of a vservers context, even if you are root.
Plus, processes inside a particular context can only see other processes that are in the same context (ps, top).
When you use vservers to give users virtual 'root' accounts, with each having their own complete Linux installation tree, you can make the standard files of the distributions hardlinks to only a single copy, and then chattr them immutable. That means you don't need as much diskspace, because all standard files share their diskspace. The 'vserver root' can then not modify the file (however, remove and replace with a self-compiled works fine if the directory is not made immutable).
There's probably more, this is what I could think of right now.

"When Users Attack"... I guess this gives a whole new meaning to being 'slashdotted'. Sorry man, we really mean no harm.
We come in peace. Take me to your lizard.
How about another hosting provider, such as freeservers, or webpipe, or rackshackor one of the gazillion others? Maybe they actually spend their money on having more than one server so that they can handle a day of bursts on one of their sites... geesh.

You know what the great thing about a situation like that is? It is perfectly acceptable, as an observer in the free world, to fill in the information gaps and form an opinion.
I've made up my mind for now... It doesn't look good for Compaq.

It seems like all that patent holders do is sue. Patent law was means to stimulate innovation, not stimulate lawsuits.
Maybe they should be productive for a change and actually apply the technology they patented.
Part of the patent law should be that if you don't apply your patent in public products (actual products for sale and directly undiscriminatorily available to the public, in which the invention is applied and for which applicaton of the patent is publicly documented and proven), you can't sue either. Plus if somebody is publicly doing what you think you patented (like ebay), you must sue withing 6 months or you loose your patent for that public activity. Otherwise, it's abuse of somebody else's productive efforts.

"I can't imagine why Prince publishes in shorthand"
Look up some of his old albums (the physical medium I mean), you'll know why. For a quick look, lookup the song titles of "Graffiti Bridge" or "Cream".
"Prince's actively trying to make communication more difficult"...
Just try listening to his lyrics. I mean listen to more than just the punchline 'sign o the times', but listen to the whole story. Yes Prince is actually a music artist that uses songs to tell complete stories instead of repeating the same thing until the three minutes are up. And they are stories that convey a feeling, or an opinion, or are meant to make people think about something.
As far as I can remember, the firmware would usually be at 0xC800:0 (and would be executed if the fingerprint is there). Anyways, 0xb800:0 is the screen, which can contain anything, but usually contains ASCII characters, not encoded assembly instructions, which would be visible as garbage on the screen...
Anyways again, if the 'virus' was in RAM, then swapping a video card would erase the virus, because that usually requires a powercycle of the card...
I'm guessing that at your LAN parties you had a virus that spread through the harddisk and FLASH ROM on particular brands of video cards. Some clown must have written a virus specifically to spread during LAN parties... Who else would use a video card they just met without protection?;-)
Slashdot Mirror
Could you explain that to all the people in front of me when the light turns green?
Kind of like that "new economy" where earnings don't matter and HTML programming makes you a computer expert?
Yeah. Just like where typing in html content and layout is called programming...
I found some cheap comma's, so you can keep them in your lyrics.
Additionally....

UML is not the same as jail(), but the vservers/ctx kernel patch and programs is, and it's got more features too.
Great for trying out other distributions, safe tryout of 'apt-get dist-upgrade', etc, etc.
Somebody has to mention the Virtual Private Servers (vservers) and security contexts (ctx) patch, which takes chroot(), and adds the good stuff from jail() and more to make completely separated contexts for process groups, without the overhead of another kernel.
I've been running Debian 2.2r7 and RedHat7.2 in parallel with Debian/Woody on the same box for months now with this patch.

And that is a pro?

Actually, oxygen is not gaseous when in your blood, but bound to hemoglobin.

That's what I think, personally.
He never used 1337, but he has very often used '4' as in 'b4', and '2' and 'U' as in '2U', etc...
See title...
What is wrong with arpwatch?
"apt-get install arpwatch" and the ARP table is monitored for new stations, station changes, etc. You stay up-to-date by email.
I've got a full mail archive of vorbis (8520 mails) and vorbis-dev (5506 mails) since aug 25 2000 in my mailbox.
Interested to fix your archive?
"Abbreviations are fine if they are required. In this case, they appear to be unnecessary, and have distracted people from his message."
In this case they are required, because in the case of Prince, the particular ones he is using constitute part of his artistical trademark.
He finally did what he's been singing in "alphabet street" -> "we're going down down down, if that's the only way, to make this cruel world hear what we've got to say. Put the right letters together and make a better day"
Baby it's the only way.

Prince has been using that style for decades. It's been his trademark since the beginning of pop music.
Probably that was before you opened your eyes to the world.
Prince Rocks.
Plus he's probably written many songs and helped many artists that you do like.
Pfew. I was worried for a second there.
The SOHO pictures are just beatiful, especially the movies.
I'm not an astronomer, but I think this big one is visible on the "LASCO C2" just around the '11:00' timestamp on Sept 1.
Too bad the EIT movies are not current. I guess it was almighty Murphy who choose this week-end for the flare...

Masybe they blocked the DNS servers for google.
Hmm. Maybe did the people running the root servers put up a website on those machines?
It this world it's money that makes the decisions...
100 miles on the Mazda 626 will cost you about 100/26*1.35 = $5.19 in gasoline.
So if you can get electricity at $0.20 per KWh, the EV1 is cheaper to drive.
Now, take a quick look at your electricity bill. I pay less than that.
