Do it with an USB camera and you can have an ever changing background. Setup it up to take a snapshot every couple of minutes. So it will look right even when you move the computer.

The UCSD Network Telescope consists of a large piece of globally announced IPv4 address space. The telescope contains almost no legitimate hosts, so inbound traffic to nonexistent machines is always anomalous in some way. Because the network telescope contains approximately 1/256th of all IPv4 addresses, we receive roughly one out of every 256 packets sent by an Internet worm with an unbiased random number generator. Because we are uniquely situated to receive traffic from every worm-infected host, we provide a global view of the spread of Internet worms.
They have 1/256th of all the IPv4 space?!? Thats alot of IPs that could be freed up for other purposes.
Its great that they are doing this. And it is an interesting project. But I've been hearing about the lack of IPs for the last 5 years, and this one group has 1/256th of them.
In the landmark Sony Betamax case in 1984, the Supreme Court ruled that Sony was not liable for contributory copyright infringement for selling VCRs that allowed consumers to tape content from their televisions.
What was presented that makes this case different? Just because its on the internet? There seems to be this overwheleming need to make laws to cover things that already exisit just because it is now online. We have too many laws at it is.

For those of you that dont remember it... it was a secure voice communcations system.
With the improvements in sound encoders, standarized crypto libs (OpenSSL) and the huge amounts of processing powering that the avg desktop has it would seem to be much easier then it was in the early 90s.
For firewall use, I would like to see dual NICs. They would make great IDS nodes. $300 bucks is a pretty good deal for a computer that small with that amount of proc power.
What is the average Intel based system heat dissipation rate?
What about a PPC based machine?
These days I'm looking for powerfull yet quiet/cool running machines. This is probably not that important in a workstation of this type, but it would still be nice.

I have 24 computer stations for the kids to use at school 20 of 24 are GNU based (FreeBSD + Gnome) The remaing 4 are Win2k machines acting as LAN fileservers and print servers.
It was setup this way so I could get the most out of the old computers that are donated to the school by using them as terminals and having one multi proc machine as a term server.

A potential remote root exploit has been discovered
in SSH Secure Shell 3.0.0, for Unix only, concerning
accounts with password fields consisting of two or
fewer characters. Unauthorized users could potentially
log in to these accounts using any password, including
an empty password. This affects SSH Secure Shell 3.0.0
for Unix only. This is a problem with password
authentication to the sshd2 daemon. The SSH Secure
Shell client binaries (located by default in/usr/local/bin) are not affected.
What the historical relationship bewteen OpenSSH and the SSH company? just the name? Or was there shared source at some point?

The making of the Falcon...
This guy put a PC in a Falcon... kinda cool.

We need to show them that this is something that people care about. Sure we dont have Disney dollars, but we can still make some noise.

after only 9 months it FINALLY died??? I like my $300 devices to last longer then 9 months... no?
But the service does sound pretty solid.

If you found this record do you think you could play it?
And extract the images from it?
I have the directions http://vraptor.jpl.nasa.gov/voyager/messages/VgrC
and it would still be pretty tricky.
If I didnt have them I dont think I would have any chance of figuring out what this thing was.

And they are different how?
Why are you still signing stuff on a box thats so exposed you cant keep it from getting 'hacked a few times'?
So is this saying that x number of linear-algebra circuits will factor a large number x times faster?
So how much hardware are we talking about to factor a 2k bit key in a day? week? month? year?
Someone w/ the math break this down for us.

977 BTU/hour is that a lot for a modern computer?

There are very few games for linux at the moment.
But other then that... yeah I think AOL/OS would be a good thing.
Then there would be two major desktop platforms... thats atleast one more then we have now.

I just recently started using mplayer... so far its been able to play every buffy and Angel episode I've manged to find except one (and .asf)
This is a great program. The first media player that has worked well for me in FreeBSD/XFree.
I Hope these guys keep up the great work.
