I've been stuck in the depths of DB2 problems that are caused by these exact issues. Hanging transactions, lock escalations, deadlocks resulting in rollbacks or worse yet, timeouts. It's a mess.
This is commonly called a KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse). When I was a student at CSM they installed this kind of system in all the labs in the new tech building. The teacher's ability to control all the student's desktop machines (or spy on them) should be incentive enough to prevent them from doing malicious/unproductive things.
Of course, I never got to take a class using one of these labs, but I did get to play with the systems when they were first installed at any rate.
Well to be fair, you probably wouldn't consider doing something like this for high-volume deployment (ie corporate/enterprise level). Chances are, they already have some kind of Cisco or other big box in place anyways.
However, for SOHO applications, this could save people thousands of dollars (especially small-to-medium businesses).
If you can find a way to mount the linux partition where your grub.conf is loaded, then you could do this. But afaik, there is no ext2/ext3 filesystem driver for windows.
You'll have to reboot into linux, edit grub.conf (usually under/boot), and then reboot again to see the change take effect.
Especially in Hollywood, where (if "The Matrix Reloaded" is any sign of things to come) we'll soon be able to map any actor's face onto a double's body with astonishing ease.
You don't think an actor would let a studio get away with that without paying likeness rights?
Although the zealots will be amused by this story, this could set a dangerous precedent for other similar vulnerabilities (especially unintentional ones). What happens, for example, when some group of people (in this case, a country) decides to sue the openSSL group for a flaw in their encryption that allowed credit card numbers to be stolen?
I'm glad to see that someone is trying to hold MS liable for their mistakes, but this is the wrong way to go about it.
Right. The strength of the old Jukeboxes is the ability to run a linein straight from the mixer, and record for hours on end (on the 20G model, that amounts to about 28hours as raw wav or 200 hours as 192kbit mp3).
If the only thing that the Zen can record is FM signals, then I'm not interested. Why they would remove the feature of being able to do line-in recording is beyond me.
The selling point for me is if it can record like the Jukebox 2/3. This is key when you want to record your dj sets at clubs or parties (which I have done many times using the older Jukebox models).
See if you can track down the unaired episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein." It's only available on the non-region1 season 2 dvd set, and was never aired in the States (mostly because it's very very politically incorrect, but hilarious nontheless).
One of my favorites was to put on headphones and play the level in Doom 1 (dont remember which level), where it was basically you versus a cyberdemon in a square outdoor arena. It was especially freaky when you lost track of him and he snuck up around behind you, and when you turned around....BAM, you're staring at his knees.
Of course, Doom was the first computer game I really ever played, and I still like to play it occasionally even today.
No...these "kids" wrote samba (windows network share) spidering/indexing programs that made it easier to find files that might be located on open shares on your network.
This is NOT the same as Joe Sixpack hosting gigs of mp3s on his own computer and making them available to everyone else, this is a matter of going after students writing software that has the potential to be used maliciously (sound familiar?)

There are plenty of local linux user groups that do similar things in the States, but not on as grand a scale of course.
For example, there is the Colorado Linux Users & Enthusiasts group here that did an installfest a few months ago.
Do a bit of searching and see if you can find one in your area.

It's looking more and more like commodity linux boxen, with the right software, can do what your average pricey cisco box is renowned for.

Seems like it would be a few grand cheaper to just mod a Real Doll. The ultimate intersection of computing and....*ahem* comfort.

Don't forget the altezza front panel status lamps!
Ok, so perhaps openSSL was a bad example, but perhaps a for-profit OSS outfit like RedHat could suffer a similar fate.
I doubt that this case will get very far though, MS's lawyers, armed with the EULA will put the smack down I'm sure.

Reminds me of the 600+ customer reviews for a David Hasselhoff "Best Of" album that all appear to be written by one person.

Mozilla is a good choice.
Seriously, this is nothing new...suddenly changing the size of the popup ad makes it innovative?
