TCPI. It's a chipset that allows for encryption, etc. Already on some of Intel's reference boards; Apple's dev models have TCPI chips, though they seem to only use them for Rosetta at the moment
I don't think that this will normally fly with music. It's just the guy probably had some extra wind tunnel time and got a bit curious. Though you do raise a good point about prevailing weather conditions. Perhaps different frequencies give better or worse results depending on the outside weather.
Actually, it's fairly doubtful that disneyland would get that humid. LA's fringe desert, if anything, global warming would only dry it out more. Course, then again, much of the area was vernal marsh, so who knows what'll happen when the currents shift. Could even mean that LA cools down.
Course, I live about 2-3 miles from disneyland on one of the main roads people take to reach the park, so anything that cuts down on the number of drivers is a good thing in my opinion.
Socialist: the governments of shitholes like France. Marked by high unemployment, high taxes, nationalized industries and low economic growth. Socialist governments have a tendency to nationize and run into the ground any industry they touch in the name of the "people's best interest" - for examples of this, see the british car industry.
So create a sock puppet account. Come on, it's not that fucking hard. Oh noes, they're taking away our right to post anonymously. Boo fucking hoo, crybaby.
What, and move to some socialist shithole where if you invent something useful, they'll rob it from you at gunpoint all in the name of "the greater good"?
No, I'd not accept broken system, and encourage others to complain loudly to their congresspeople and get things changed. Too often, software patents are so broad that anything even closely resembling the item in question requires expensive lawyers to be consulted. Remember SBC's claim that they invented the hyperlink? The system's broken, plain and simple.
Why do I have to choose between the great features of Windows and OSX? Why can't they shut the fuck up and work together? The two groups have vastly different philosophies as to what a desktop should be. As you stated yourself, there are strengths and weaknesses for both. The one true anything simply won't happen.
Write congress and tell them to reform patent legislation so that the Xorg folks can use the same techniques that Apple and MS does. It's not gnome's fault that the patent system is broken.
Really, a database machine needs more RAM than CPU speed. The more RAM you have, the larger the dataset it can keep in cache, and the less it has to go to the hard drive to pick up information. You'd be fine with a single proc machine; save the money and get a good uniproc motherboard that can accept 4 1 gig sticks of RAM instead.
PPTP is, simply put, a result of MS's NIH. In the unix world, we have ppp over SSH, which works better, is much more simple, and uses pre-defined pieces. Besides, the original point was regarding a quick remote administration tool - going from a monitoring server to a remote server to automate fixes. Why go through the trouble of setting up a vpn for such a use?
MS provides a lot of hooks for administering through the command line; a system without a GUI would be a bit lighter, and coupled with something like sshd, would be easier to administer remotely/automatically through things like nagios handlers.
Point still stands. Stop using that prehistoric rendering engine. Quit holding back web features for insisting on using that old-ass broken web browser.
While it's not 64-bit, I'm fairly certain that apple will put a chipset in their systems that use the 36 bit physical address extensions that have been in every 686+ processor that allows up to 32 gigabytes of RAM, which is more than what apple boxes are currently capable of supporting. At the moment, there are few apps that use 64 bit integers anyways, as they want to keep compatibility with G4-based systems.
Depends on how you configure it. You can also set it up to be active with a hotkey press, meaning it doesn't take up desktop real estate unless you want it to. I've found that certain apps are pretty damn useful, now if only there were a decent Amtrak widget, I'd be a happy kitty.
Two different types of security here. The first is code security - minimizing overflows and code auditing. OpenBSD excells there; it's perfect for set and forget applications. The other type of security has to deal with things like auditing and access control lists, which is something that OpenBSD doesn't have, but is available to Linux in the form of the NSA-spearheaded SELinux project. Additionally, Linux can provide many of the code-based security capabilities OpenBSD provides through the grsecurity system. Thus, for this purpose, OpenBSD is much less secure in the long run.
Nope. Init scripts and the like are not an access control measure, thus you can hack away at it. Now, publishing a program to crack the tivo's encrypted video files would be a violation, but cracking open the case and having a looksee isn't.
The kernel can be built for the 386 by following instructions in the handbook. It's not enabled by default anymore, but as long as you have a decent amount of disk space, you should be able to build it without any problem.
The flaw is with drivers within windows, not the USB protocol. USB does its job, it says, "hey, I got this device on the server, its name is 8086:3429 and its a high speed device. Windows says, "okay, yeah, whatever" and starts accepting data. Unfortunately, drivers are an area where secure programming really hasn't caught on as well as it should, after all, their hardware never misbehaves and starts spewing out nonsense, right?;3
y'know, you can do both things. Yes, cutting back the sources is a good thing, but cleaning up your mess is also quite important too; people have different specialties, having everyone work on the One True Solution rarely is beneficial in the long run.

What, that the US isn't a group of reactionary herd-thinkers like the rest of the world? That we actually believe in *gasp* debate?

Yes, Megalomaniac. Search for National Rifle Association. Moore's a windbag who should be put in a cage match with Rush Limbaugh.

Think iraq here. Hide amongst your own people, quick hit and run jobs. Tough to find such an enemy, difficult/impossible to truly counter.

damn, slashdot needs editing. That should have been I'd rather not accept a broken system.

PPTP is a lot heavier than ssh, and is fundamentally flawed. Although pptp is close, ssh is still far superior and easier to get working.
