At first I wanted to mod parent +1 Funny for being a nice exageration. But to be sure I checked the article: it's really in there 'nasal sex' and all! Lyons does have a point about RMSes singing qualities or rather lack thereof, however.
Coming from Verisign, most likely this is just an X.509 certificate on a hardware token. Nothing new, except for the addition of birth date and gender to the certificate subject.
The title appears to be exagerating a bit in announcing 2TB cards: the article itself only mentions that the format supports 2TB, not that actual 2TB cards will be available.
Not that a 2TB memory card wouldn't be nice though:-)
First I thought it was a lame April fools joke, but now that it has been on Slashdot twice, it must be real. Why isn't this security feature in the Linux kernel yet. I bet those BSD bastards are already secure!
I tried to patch 8.12.8 with the supplied patch set. But it failed because the file offsets were way of (e.g. in sendmail/conf.c hunk 1 is at 466 instead of 300 something).
Anyone else having the same problems?
They were able to learn from the mistakes of the past.

Backward compatibility is nice to some extend, but the current code still contains code specific to config file version 1! (current version is 10). I don't believe for one second config file version 1 setups are still regression tested.
Also the code is a display of bad coding constructs, which make it difficult to understand and modify the code. An example: the DYNOPENMAP() macro covertly breaks encapsulation by including a return statement. Bad, bad, bad. A large janitorial session to clean up the source code would be very welcome.
It just occurred to me that there's one party that's very interested in getting access to the machines of all those "KaZaa pirating bastards". Rather than playing out Dr. Evil scenarios to attack NORAD, Brilliant simply sells its assets to the RIAA, so they can finally finish that distributed processing run of 'format C:'

By coincidence earlier today I tried to download the source for SF itself, but when I looked at the SF project page (
sourceforge.net/projects/alexandria) it said "This Project Has Not Released Any Files" !?
I could swear at least until a month ago there used to be a 2.5 and 2.0 release avalailable.
Does anyone know where to get it now, and why they it's no longer on the project page?
If this scheme really will be implemented, that would be the best promotion for cryptographically secured peer to peer messaging.

Everyone seems to consider this stuff to be either a joke or real. But in my opinion this site may be well a very good political statement against animal cruelty. It very sublty but convincingly demonstrates the hypocrisy of many so called animal lovers that want to censor this site but at the same think artificicially breeded perversions like hairless cats are cute. Apparently breeding cats without tails or dogs with heads so small there eyes allmost pop out is less cruel than even mentioning putting kittens in a jar.
This site clearly holds up mirror to society. Therefore it is and should be protected as free speech.
Hmm, I certainly hope the KDE runs better on Guinness than it does on Pinstripe. If not, you can hardly claim to 'support' KDE on Red Hat: all I've seen from KDE apps on PinStripe were those lovely bug report dialog boxes.
Ad. 1. With the same logic you can argue name based virtual hosting is tremendously more manageable: try to move your 1000 sites from server A to server B. With name virtual hosting it's just a change of a single DNS entry. With IP based hosting you either have to move 1000 addresses to server B or change 1000 DNS entries.
Ad. 2. Actually it seems rather difficult to misconfigure your firewall or DNS for name virtual hosting. It seems much easier to forget one of the X IP addresses you need for IP based hosting. About the old browser support, shouldn't it be time to kill Netscape 0.91 and friends. Ah no, I bet you still support gopher too?
Ad. 3. The average user will be helpless without DNS anyway. For the non average user that knows about IP addresses, it's trivial to add an entry in the hosts file. Not really 'no way'.
And about the pr0n stuff: I can only assume your 'favorite website' is a porn site too. Any normal vhosting company would put advertisement for itself on the IP address only site.
Rumours go that this already been invented. Supposedly there are several test sites in Europe where secret experiminents are conducted based on a huge radiation source. For safety these sites are mostly located near large water resources to facilitate rapid cool down of the subjects. The project has been code named 'FKK', as indicated by the signs near the entry and exit points of the sites.
Last week I was able to infiltrate in one of these areas, and I must say the results so far are very promising.
If I recall correctly N-Cube used to be the name of a super computer (manufacturer). It had an N-dimensional hyper cube architecture, hence the name. Every processor in the system had at least one flashing light mounted on the machine, in order to impress potential military customers.
I never expected them to be sold at toy stores!
MPAA accuses the defendants of facilitating DVD piracy. They counter the defence that you can pirate DVDs without decrypting the disc with a simple bit for bit copy, by saying that you can distribute a decrypted copy electronically over the Internet, so you don't need to burn and distribute physical discs.
So, if we can demonstrate that it is feasible to electronically distribute (and thereby 'pirate') DVD movies without DeCSS, would that help this case?
I'll assume now that it does:-). Leaves the question how. I see two ways:
Capturing the output of a 'legal' DVD player just before it gets sent to the videocard. If this hasn't been done already, it should be fairly straigtforward to build (espcially with VMWare, since then your videocard is already virtual). A generic display output capture tool has enough use for other purposes than DVD pirating to be legal.
Writing a device driver for a virtual DVD player, with which one can simulate a real DVD driver with disc from an DVD image on your HD. This actually is a DVD test drive tool for testing your own custom DVD images before you burn them on real discs. So this too isn't a DVD pirating tool in it self.
Now should we start coding or do you feel this won't it help the defence at all? (After all the judge apparently fails to see the primary purpose for DeCSS too).
When I recently tried a Rawhide package, I noticed it was packaged in RPM 4 format, so I assume RH7 will use RPM 4 as well. These packages cannot be handled with RPM 3 or any other tools. Luckily RawHide contains an RPM for RPM 4, in you guessed it RPM4 format:-(. Apparently Red Hat felt it was imperative to have a new incompatible format for RPMs. What I do not understand however is why they did not did not change to a more open format, so can use more generally available tools to inspect them. Why not make a tar or cpio archive containing a cpio of the binaries, a subdir with post (un)install scripts, and an XML document with meta data? It's really frustrating not to be able to get to that one little patch in an SRPM because you don't have the latest, greatest RPM tool at hand!

Surely these flares are signs of world's impending doom.
Much simpler: just post all your stuff on Slashdot. With all the random garbage surrounding it noone will notice anyway.
