Ah religious wars, I love it. I'm perfectly happy with my fluxbox running both Gnome and KDE apps.
(Yes I know Gnome runs KDE and vice versa. I was a Gnome person for the longest time, until I realized the whole KDE vs Gnome thing is completly stupid. Yes, both are great for newbies, and they have the professional look that will make CIO's go "wow, those linux people have a lot of money," but me, sharph, a 15-year-old computer geek, prefers his non cluttering fluxbox. (And gkrellm, thats good too.))
Why is Microsoft trying to be cool by taking a name out of a recent, popular anime. If they really wanted to be cool, they would have taken it out of a lesser known, sci-fi, geek oriented anime. Seriously, its almost like the "codename" is a marketing statement.
First off, its written with Java which means you would have to be somebody who actually cares about this enough to install it, along with the JVM, which most mail servers don't have.
Second, if the person does have Java (on a mail server, for some odd reason,) He or she may not care about this or not know about it.
I say this method should be directly implimented into sendmail and the other SMTP servers.
An SSL-enhanced browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator uses encryption to scramble the data you send to a web site into an unintelligible string of seemingly random characters. A typical transaction is a browser sending the contents of an order form to the server, checking emails on an IMAP server, using BASIC authentication to access a password protected part of a website, etc. Let's look at an example showing the difference between unsecure and secure transactions:
Of course its insecure, they programmed their security in basic.
(I'm smarter than this. It's a joke... Laugh.)
Hemos didn't write this article, "bullshizzle" did. bullshizzle for some reason filed it under BSD and not security. Sometimes inaccurate topics get past the editors. Get over it.
Don't blame Hemos. The opinions are that of bullshizzle. Flame him instead.
You're also missing the point of the article.
Yes they were DDoSed, but the point is that NWLink disconnected them unfairly.
Try WOPN. its owned by freenode, formerly OpenProjects. Come and chat in #wopn on irc.freenode.net, too. Its got an OGG stream, so you get good quality with low bandwidth.

Theres an article about hacking traffic lights. Do you think that now that the information is now open to a wide public, we will see traffic lights doing weird things?
"(much like with those artificial press faults on some "copy protected" audio CDs, those actually violate the "Red Book" standard for CDs and already therefore don't belong into commerce since these constitute defective products declared as audio CDs)."
<sarcasm> Wow. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon actually violates the Red Book by having no silence between tracks. I can't believe they did that. They are so evil. Its not really a *real* audio CD. (Red Book says you must have at least 4 secs between tracks.) </sarcasm>
Try downloading Mozilla in tar.gz. Uninstall mozilla with rpm -e mozilla mozilla-mail mozilla-psm, and run the installer.
After that, everything will be all nice, except if you want it to be in your $PATH, you can link it, with
ln -s/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla/usr/bin/

Let me explain.
Some people go way overboard on the number of webpages they have open at once, and tabbed browsing is a lot more pleasent than a bunch of individual browsers on the taskbar.
A good site for mozilla newbies would be MozDev. More specifically, OptiMoz. Try installing the plugins here and you might/will be impressed.
Kinda reminds me of the ending of Digital Love, by Daft Punk, where there's that long synth string chord holding, then they rase the hpf cutoff (analog synth stuff).
EveryDNS.net is good. I use it. But it won't help the situation because when you do to lookup a.org domain it queries the UltraDNS servers, then they send you over to everydns.net which handles it from there.
Actually, you are right in a way. I used to use hn.org for hosting the nameservers for my domain, and it didn't work this weekend because it wouldn't resolve hn.org.
I have noticed. My web site (sharph.net) uses the DNS services of hn.org. hn.org is sharph.net's nameserver. (Well was, until Sunday when I switched to UltraDNS.net.)
When you go to access sharph.net, it gets pointed to hn.org, which points it to my IP address. Over the weekend because the nameservers couldn't resolve hn.org, sharph.net wouldn't work.
You most likely won't notice it because all the frequently used domains are cached somewhere between you and UltraDNS.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I know it, radio waves are regulated by the FCC, and light waves are regulated by the laws of physics.
Am I not correct?

Its about the same as a dollar bill drawn in crayon.
Some trusted authority must be able to (freely) offer certs with some type of identification.
I've had this in my area (about an hour away from Philadelphia) for years now. Its nothing new. There was even a simpsons episode about it.
wow, they spelt it with a Z.

I guess encoding my mp3's with 32kbps wasn't such a good idea afterall.
slashdot needs some sort of dupe control system.

A score for a concert performance is also available.
I would like to see that.
