  1. Re:Privacy on Google Desktop Now on Linux · · Score: 1

    When you download the Google Desktop for Linux you are presented with the agreement that includes the following.
    It says that you give Google the right to publish any content you display using their services.

    I like Google, but that license is unreasonable. I have sensitive information on my disk.

    Snipped from the license agreement:
    "
    11. Content licence from you

            11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services."

  2. Darth Vader Toy on What (non-PC) Hardware Do You Hack? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I hacked my son's Darth Vader Toy to spin clockwise when I received and e-mail and counter-clockwise when my machine was attacked (port scanned). I used a floppy drive stepper motor and mouted it in an old CDROM case

  3. Rocket Doesn't add up on A For-Profit Trip To The Moon · · Score: 1

    The spec's say they have a 100 lbs force rocket accellerating a 440 lb rocket. Am I missing something here? They need something more like 2200 lbs force engine. -Monta

    man dhcpd

    The Internet Software Consortium DHCP Server, dhcpd,
    implements the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
    and the Internet Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). DHCP allows
    hosts on a TCP/IP network to request and be assigned IP
    addresses, and also to discover information about the net-
    work to which they are attached. BOOTP provides similar
    functionality, with certain restrictions.
