strncpy still is "checked", assuming that you use it right (though I'm not advocating its use). I know that OpenBSD has brought forth strlcpy and strlcat, but until they're in standard libraries and taught in basic classes on C, don't expect them to be widely used. People use what they're comfortable with (no matter how unsafe).
debian-security-announce tracks these issues. Most of the time, if there's a problem with the version in unstable, it affects the (earlier or same) version in testing, and you know about it.
On any "front-line" server, the first thing I remove is GCC. More tools for script kiddies to use if they ever break in. Compile on another box and SSH the results over.
I pay for my TV as well - $49.95 per month to the cable company, and if I don't want to watch ads, I won't. So really, in my case, there is no difference.
If you want to learn about game development, the UCF SIGGRAPH chapter is going to be sending developers to GDC and is working on a video game. Why not help us out?
It is a major distinction, agreed, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a public network, and if they can't compel your ISP to hand over your email, they can just as easily intercept it BEFORE it gets to your ISP. Also, aren't most ISPs happy enough to hand over your email if they get a court order? It's always been an illusion of privacy, and if people think that a public network gives them any privacy, they are sorely mistaken.
There's an easy way to solve this problem if you're so worried: UNPLUG FROM THE INTERNET. What's to say they aren't reading your email now or listening to your VoIP conversations now or that there's not a back door in RSA, DSA, or ElGamal? You don't know and unless you're in the NSA and put the backdoor in or ordered it put back in, you'll never know. You pay your money and take your chances, and if you don't like it, don't use the system. These are the breaks of using such a public network. This extends to the telephone network as well. It's a public network, and if you don't like the fact that someone might be listening, then don't use it.
Unfortunately, there are too many citizens willing to trade liberty for safety. They WANT the government to be able to look at the bad guy's traffic, and that's how the government bills this. They only time that they care is when it personally inconveniences them. That's not going to happen to the average Joe until everyone is using VoIP and the law enforcement officer starts snooping on THEM. It is not until they personally feel violated that they care. Otherwise, they're playing the, "must get the terrorist" game.
If you ever thought your unencrypted traffic was safe from snooping over the Internet, you get what you deserve. If you don't like the idea of a company divulging your secrets, don't use that company, or add another layer of encryption on top of it. PGPPhone over VoIP anyone?
You're missing the point. I'm not asking why we should finish the job - I agree with you there. I'm asking why we should force them into a democracy instead of letting the people exercise their will and select a goverment of their own choosing.
It was about time we had the guts to finish the job, give the Iraqis a chance to live in peace with a democracy of their own choosing.
Assuming that we liberate the people and "finish the job", why should they be forced into a democracy, and if they are, how is it of their own choosing?
Because, of course, you can get an immediate measure on any given day at any given hour exactly how the economy is doing. Read your precious studies and indicators. The numbers that they were reporting are duing Clinton's time in office.
I'm sorry, the Dixie Chicks were not "censored". One of them exercised their right to say what they wanted, and their fans didn't agree with it. Part of freedom of speech is dealing with the consequences of what you say. Freedom of speech doesn't mean that I have to listen to you either.
I used a TRIE, for the record.;-) I was one of those who was an over-acheiver. I did the binary search version as a freshman in high school.

I was in CS 1 class last semester, and this was the second program we did. We took a list of words (usually/usr/share/dict) and a set of tiles, and printed out words that matched, as well as their score. Really trivial stuff - any freshman CS undergrad could do it.
You miss the point. The people that are given capital punishment have been found guilty by a jury of their peers. They have every opportunity to overturn their sentence by appeal. The people that were being arrested and put on the jailcam were people that were presumed innocent because they hadn't been brought to answer for their supposed crime in front of a jury of their peers.

strncpy is in the C standard, according to my K&R second edition

The DSDT on my Toshiba compiles fine with the Intel compiler, and works fine with the ACPI subsystem in the Linux kernel, as well as under FreeBSD.
I was under the impression that the "Netscape Internet Service" was AOL's low-cost ISP answer to NetZero.
I'm not for the law, by the way. I'm just saying that if you think this gives them any new powers, you're wrong.
They got the idea from their government of course.

Every bug is a subset of this one - your computer has to be on to be compromized.

Are you using the RenderAccel option in your xorg.conf file? I have that installed, and it seems to work well for me.

The Congress can pass any law they want. That doesn't mean it will stand up to judicial review.
