Don't know if I'm just missing something, admitedly I've only skimmed over the tour, but how did they actually render it? If firefox (and thus I'd assume mozilla), ie, opera, and konqy (as tested by me in kde-3.4) all fail, what browser is so great it does it properly? Is it open-source? Can it's code be used as a reference for the other open-source browser?
Perhaps I'm too sleepy to think (I'm too sleepy to read the article), but precisely what is the difference? A password is a string you know, a passphrase is a string you know. One is probably longer than the other, big deal.
2, or 3, or 4 factor authorisation schemes are the only way forward. Like those used by some banks in, erm, Sweden ?
The current SLI solutions, from what little (admitidly) I've seen, actually split the 16 lanes between the 2 PCIe x16 slots. Giving 8 lanes per slot, which is still more than enough bandwidth.
The 33.5G capacity of these disks (or the 58G capacity of the future) competition is too small for typical backups in comparison to current hard drive capacities.
But these discs are specifically a stepping stone, hybrid, solution. Read only, with SD-DVD layers, not for backup use.
IIRC, the blu-ray standard has always called for 25GB layers. It's just they "can" fit loads of them in. So your hope for higher capacity should become a reality.
Perhaps my understanding is flawed, but the 1 hour/1 minute you mention is the black period where mail will continue to be denied, no? The grey is where mail will be accepted, creating a whitelist entry.
Therefore the server would happily accept mail matching the triplet (duet in my case, ignored the remote IP) after a 1 minute delay for 24 hours.
greylisting is a fine idea, but like just about everything else, it's flawed. There are still many really dumb mailservers out there, and mail clusters which send from various different IPs.
I run a system handling around 15k messages per day on average, with greylisting turned on (and the grey period set to 24 hours!) our support people got enough complaints by phone about really slow email responses (they hadn't got the question yet in most cases) I had to turn it off. Spamassassin (at the SMTP level), clamav, razor, and a bunch of DNS checks have a near 0 false positive rate, and an acceptably good level of correctness. I get about 20 a day that weren't caught.
Unless they can include 1 or 2 layers that current generation DVD players can play now, as a red-laser tech (note how I said red-laser) it's doomed to failure already. OK, so the manufacturers don't have to invest in new equipment now, but the consumers will have to, and everyone will when the inevitable change-over to blue-laser happens. But what really rules it out will be the long long change-over period in which both "normal" red-laser and VMD red-laser discs will have to be produced and sold, that will be at massive cost to both the manufacturers, and retail chain, creating additional confusion to the consumer, and only to happen again quite soon. We are going to have/need blue-laser discs.
I can well see all blu-ray players being able to read VMD discs though.
OK, so I'll admit I've not *read* the article, but fairly throughly scanned over the first 2-3 tables, and graphs. But, what are those numbers? I'd presume they are meant to be seconds, but the difference is so vast it can't be. Can it?
We noted CPU utilization rates between 10-15% for nForce4 with ActiveArmor enabled versus 70-80% with the feature turned off (as you'd get on nForce3 250Gb).
What the ?!
Hmm, our PIII 800 firewall firewalls 30 people, over 1x 2Mb ADSL (USB), and 1x 1Mb SDSL (ethernet), with 6 IPSEC VPNs and doesn't even use 10-15% CPU! Sounds like NVIDIA's packet inspection code needs some work:)
It's not as if Ubuntu is some major step forward, or different in such a way as to make it especially news worthy. Don't get me wrong, it's great it's free free, and that they'll send you a free CD, or so it says. A formalised "Code of Conduct" sounds a good idea, but is that any different from the social contracts other distros have formalised? The LDFLAGS they set which is the basis for the excellent start up times is a neat trick, and certainly unique in my limited experience of binary based distros, but if it's so great someone else will copy it. How is another debian based distro going to change the face of GNU/Linux?
Perhaps I'm slightly biased, as a die-hard Gentoo user, I just don't get the point. p.s. most of my apps now start as fast as lightning, thanks Ubuntu:)
With Google becoming a "proper business" now I'm actually quite amazed they're not charging for this. I would. I know it doesn't cost them much, you pay for the outgoing and incoming messages after all, but would you miss the cost of one extra message per search? Ignoring special deals, and inter-network rates, that's about 12p in the UK. Could probably even generate a higher per search revenue stream than the ads. Seems like a natural, and non-evil, way to make some money to me...
If it's not too much hard work, then take them apart and wash them, hot soapy water should do, perhaps with a mild bleach. As long as all the parts are *throughly* dry before reassemble, the water is no danger.
Once watched a sun engineer do it to an IPC after a colleague spilt hot chocolate into it...
I've known about the prospect of a meet for sometime now, being a regular on gentoo-dev and -user, even planned with a new member in our Salford (Manchester) office (I work from Bradford, live in Huddersfield, but spend 1 day a week in Salford) to both go. But I fly out to the US (for work), from Manchester Airport, on August 31st.
blah blah blah Can't it get pushed back by 2 weeks? Pretty please?:)
I write a bit of PHP, bash, and (ick) perl as part of sys admining, and free time messing. As I'm not exactly skilled at coding I tend to spend a lot of time going over things over and over again, to understand why it's doing what it is, and why it's not doing what I wanted.:) To make that process easier, formatting "errors" get fixed too, making the code neater, so more understandable.
The only communication here is between neurons:)
I would hazzard a guess that really good developers spend more time writing code, than fixing the formatting, or rewriting bits several times.

2 of us have just recently finished the 140 port setup in our new offices...
http://www.appro.com/ do same damn fine boxes, including 1U (yes, 1U) quad (yes, yes, quad) operton boxes that take 32GB of RAM.
:(
I only wish the company I work for could afford boxes like that
Oh, and there's that "need" thing I keep hearing about.

err....?
but it is much harder to shoot yourself in the foot.
Yup, because it is a *LOT* harder to install, and administer. It's all scary black magic, and down right confusing.
Give me apache and PHP any day, with the hardened patches, and mod_suphp.
p.s. I know squat about what it's like to program in, I'm just a poor admin who's had the misfortune to have to administer tomcat.

Saw this on Horizon yesterday evening.
Always nice to see a simple solution.
Now if only NASA could find a simple solution to conversions between imperial and metric, or not undoing bolts

Am I the only one thinking "Is that all!"
SSH, and it's associated tools, have become so much intrenched in my everyday life it's hard to remember a world without them!
Thank you very much OpenSSH developers!
You have to wonder why you would want to do this, when the native linux client is right round the corner...
:)
Unless you have to play it RIGHT NOW!!, of course
Aye, I used to spend many a train journey to and from work playing Doom on my 9210 :)
Now then, Doom3 on a mobile...
Sorry, can't do 'e'. :)
Gentoo's tools, and ebuild functions mostly start 'e'
ebuild, enewuser, epause, ebeep, etcat, etc, etc (boom boom)
If it's not too much hard work, then take them apart and wash them, hot soapy water should do, perhaps with a mild bleach.

A bit like the normal singles chart then? :)

... are there actually aliens to find?!
Then, even if there are, had they advanced enough to send out the signals we can detect, long enough ago for those signals to reach us?
