I'm no expert on Yoga, but I've done some casual Googling and found that there is no such thing as "Death Yoga", at least not as described by Reiser, meant to slow down one's heart to the point of death.
Death Yoga (which probably has another more common name) is a meditation where the goal is the death of the ego, similar to Zen sitting. Based on the information about Reiser that's been circling around, I'd say it would have been a good idea for him to practice this type of Yoga...
The impression I got from the article is that once infected, the bots will only accept (PGP?)-signed commands, and the original vulnerability is most likely patched to prevent another botnet herder from stealing it. There is no way to order the botnet to self-destruct.
I'm sure life is easier than it was 100 years ago, but only because we're no longer in the middle of an industrial revolution. Fewer sweat shops and other dangerous jobs with long hours.
But if you compare today with "pre-westernized" America, then life now seems much more difficult that it used to be. No 60 hour work weeks doing the same pointless tasks. No bills, cars, credit cards to worry about. Daily work consisted of feeding the family. There was much more free time, and I would think there was more "living" back then, even with shorter lifespans.
I haven't installed ScatterChat yet, but I bet it suffers from the same problem as all the other encrypted IM apps. That is, it doesn't work for multiple computers that share the same accounts.
When I'm at home, if I turn on encryption for AIM, it works great. But then when I go to work and use that AIM account, everyone I talked to earlier is sending messages based on my home key, making it impossible to communicate.
The key needs to be exportable, so I can use the same key everywhere. Or, maybe there could be a command to request a key change...
Oh, come on. Even the mighty OpenBSD has had vulnerabilities. It's a little unrealistic to expect every piece of software (or even just the stuff distributed with an OS) to be perfectly secure and bug-free.
Or maybe having an open-source license excuses them from your standards?
Plus, posting exploit information before sending a nice email to the developer is just irresponsible. How would that benefit anyone other than script kiddies?
That one is much better than the ones mentioned in the article... The only things I don't like about it are the white tabs on the sidebar items (login, sections, vendors, etc.), and the banner ad at the top.
The "read more" elements and the collapsed articles are very cool.
GnuPG / PGP signing, with peer-based levels of trust. Or even better: get the public key direct from your bank when you first log in to your account. Added bonus, you have the option of turning on encrypted email.
This might bring up the question of encrypted spam, but your keyring would act as a whitelist. If some random person sent you an encrypted or signed message, then you would be presented with a message asking if it should be accepted.
All we need is a simplified way to do this for the general public. Too bad Thunderbird doesn't come with Enigmail preinstalled. We'd probably need something else for webmail. (FF extension?)
It's nothing but another one of those "web directory" sites, full of links to other sites that were likely conned into paying KinderStart for the listing.
The site looks like the last time it was updated was 2000, the year on their site copyright. Most of the links don't even work.
I've built sites for these types of companies (back when I was starting out). Its probably just one or two people working out of their garage, fully expecting that the 10,000 domain names they purchased entitle them to millions of dollars. Quite sad, really.
Google has no obligation to pay their rent, and the Internet has no use for this trash. Get a real fucking job.
Bullshit. And fuck you for saying so. If animals are so endowed with an abundance of rights, what gives you the right to take their lives for your own enjoyment, regardless of how humanely they were killed?
While my personal opinion is that we consume far too much meat, many animals eat other animals, and we are no exception. Life feeds on life. No matter how hard we try, we are a part of nature, not the masters of it.
Sounds like Groove -- which is not free, and it hogs resources. Maybe we should switch to that one at the office.
A better solution IMO is something like WASTE or one of the other darknet apps, where nothing is automatically copied unless you choose to download it, and everything is encrypted. FolderShare appears to use SSL, but I don't think I would trust Microsoft to not monitor all that traffic.
Both pages are exactly the same, but the javascript output changes depending on the URL used. This doesn't have anything to do with MD5, and it's hard to see how this would count as an exploit.
Not if its up to companies like Kraft... their goal is to make food that sells well to the general population. You know, the people who eat fast food and boxed, processed crap.
I think the only new "spice" this will bring us will be an even *more extreme* ranch flavor.
Or even for publicly accessible sites, if all your customers are in the US it may make good sense to deny connections from say, romania.
Why would a company want to deny connections from foreign countries? Maybe it would make sense to block SMTP, but web traffic? I certainly wouldn't call it "good sense".
That is true for video, but most studios use film for greenscreening work. The resolution is going to be much higher, and the colors will not have any compression artifacts (which is why filters like this, or this are used. 4:4:4 stores more color information, minimizing those artifacts.
Also, the color of the screen really doesn't have to be green. Depending on the subject in front of the screen, it can be blue, red, or even black.
Even if it were in black and white, a lot can be done with the color channels, especially if the film has visual effects (which this one has many of..)
Most obviously, color keying.
But also, having three color channels effectively gives you three different black and white versions of the same image.
This is an issue I have with the Gimp as well... If I sketch anything too quickly (or just for too long, without lifting up the wacom pen), the cpu maxes out and the lines become horribly jagged.
I'm running this on an Athlon XP2000 with 512mb ram, kernel 2.6.9, and Gimp 2.0.4.
I can draw just fine on my G3 iBook with Photoshop, so I don't see why Gimp can't handle it.

I'm sure a handful of other people are posting it as I'm writing this, but here's a link to the Mujahideen Poisons handbook.
Also, the Al-Qaeda Manual (interestingly, this was distributed by the FBI)
The Dragunov sniper rifle manual
No luck searching for the RPG & Firearms handbook.

Was it actually monitored from inside a channel, or from the server?

Most of the cards read "You loose one civil liberty".
Can't a professional designer learn to spell?

I thought maybe those were down when I tried the links, but then opened a shell account from somewhere else and it worked.
It appears that Earthlink/Time Warner might be blocking certain domains...
Can anyone confirm?
I knew it was only a matter of time before this came up. It's actually on-topic this time, too!
Go *is* an excellent game, though learning to play it well takes much more time than I have available.
I remember reading that the audio out jack will also serve as an input. Something about speaking into the left earbud...

Could you send the list this way?
