... because this guy must definitely be a decendant of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, the great noser (and murderer *eg*) from Patrik Süskind: "Perfume" (ISBN: 0140120831).
In germany a court ruled, that a company has not to undergo linking from competition: heise (german).
Then again, 2600 is not what i would call competition to Ford...

Well, i'm not a native english speaker, thus i have to look up the word cluster in the dictionary, to get its real meaning. And this tells me, a cluster is nothing more then an amassment of something, and in this case of apples:)
OTOH there is some saying here at my place: "Fremdwörter immer falsch verwenden..." use foreign words always in the wrong sense... - 'cos everybody's doing so. :-)
Seems to me a smart way to fix a large network without loggin into every machine. I think i already heared of such a bug-removing-strategy.
Maybe a sysadmin used this worm, and then it slipped...
This is the world as i like it: everyone's throwing its waste into the sea...
Damn, if we only would learn to leave nature as clean, as we leave our flat.
Encryption only has to be save enough to secure the information as long as the information is of interest. If I have to change passwords every month, it will be difficult for someone else, to get a working one. The problem with PGP and similar methods is, that one usally does not change the key-pair for a very long time. Thus, if somebody is able to steal the (Password-protected) keyring file, he will have lots of time to get a working private key. Also floppys can be copied, but a chip card, which does the de/en-cryption is one of the saver ways to secure the private key, since there is no way to read the key. So one has to physically steal the card, and if you find out you have still time to let others know, that your key is no longer valid - at least as much time, as the thief needs to crack your password of the card.
Okay, their drivers became better and better from relöease, to release. And since 0.9.7 they are usable even on SMP machines (thou there are still things you should not do). But I really wonder why they don't get the AGP-support right, not even on the machines with the BX based bords we get it to work, not to mention the new ones with Via Apollo.
IMHO stable drivers for the already available cards are more important, then the newest card with feature XYZ and unstable drivers.
Still further, people often don't realize the extent to which obsolescence is important to the economy - without it, after a few years an industry would become almost obsolete, since all the old equipment would still be in use.
This kind of economy should become obsolent, since it is a waste of resources and does harm to our environment.
By having things break, however, jobs are created,
I'm really tired of this "jobs" argument. If you don't have to buy new things because the old ones do not break, you need less money, thus you can take a part time job without a loss of life-qualitiy, and the number of jobs is preserved.
and improvements are made
I'm very sure, they are made anyway. But these days you have to buy the new things because the old ones breake. With things not breaking, your freedom increases, - your freedom, not to buy.
There are many, many things to do in this world, think of the irrigation of deserts, decreasing hunger and poverty, making software bug-free. - We sure need no industry that relies on things breaking to sell new products.
Administration is not the problem, since you need no GUI for UNIX-administration. In fact UNIX is better prepared for remote administration, since telnet (and now ssh) are enough to configure the host.
But with support you are right. One needs a software to see, what the other person sees on his/her screen. And sometimes even this is not enough: A woman called us, she always has this blue screen. We told her to turn off the computer and on again. But she said, the blue screen is still there. She answered very quickly, so we asked: "How do you turn off the computer?" - turned out she only switched off the monitor.- So you see, standing beside her would not have raised any question.
Back to your issue: I don't know if there is any software to take over a X session over the network. Anyone other?
The proposal of article 6/3 from 05/19/1999 reads like this:
Technological measures shall be deemed effective where the access to or use of a protected work or other subject matter is controlled through application of an access code or any other type of protection process which achieves the protection objective in an operational and reliable manner with the authority of the rightholders. Such measures may include decryption, descrambling or other transformation of the work or other subject matter.
Interesting how they changed it, now that CSS proved to be not reliable...
As far as I understand it, they take a series of pictures from differnet POVs.
When viewing the image, the pixels are taken from different pictures and are interpolated dependand on the POV of the observer.
Think of one of those Postcards, where the image changes, when you look at it from a different direction.
Theoretically you could put a plane of microlensis onto the (TV-) screen, transmit a composition of the pictures taken, and the lenses will "select" the right image for your POV. - But then either the resolution is very low, or the bandwith really has to improve.
Besides it doesn't do AGP on the Via-Apollo chipset, the 0.9-6 drivers are quite okay on my SMP-box at work.
But, at home, where I'm in control of what goes inside my computer, I prefer OSS enabled hardware and use Matrox.
It is simple:
When your hands fly over the keyboard, code flows out of your fingers - apparently without thinking, and you are one with your computer, then you do the hacker kung fu.
When you start it for the first time, it will copy most of your netscape profile: the mail folders, bookmarks,..., but not the SOCKS preferences.
At first glace it makes a good impression. Thou I can't see any speed advantage over netscape 4.75.
Maybe my machine is simply fast enough - Dual PIII 700:) on linux
After viewing some pages it eats up 40M RAM, netscape 4.75 needs only 28M
To use java it wants to download a plugin from netscape. So far I didn't try it.

In Germany it is considered, that the ideology of Scientologie contradicts the constitutional law. A (german) paper on that topic can be read here.

... we can track you with those cameras, and an automatic face detection system as introduced by the Frauenhofer Institute at the CeBIT .
You think it is 2001, but in fact we are near to 1984.
BTW: in east germany we also had a lot of cameras. They served the STASI. Now there are new cameras - I wonder who is watching us now.
With cameras you do not fight crime, it only moves to other places.
