...is meta-Echelon. 'Watch the watchers' so to speak. Let's face it: the government has no concern of tapping into all of your personal communication. In fact, they want more and more. That's why they give us crap like Fortezza and the Clipper chip. "Wow! What great encryption! Only the government can read my mail!"
So, what we need is even a tiny leak in the system. I mean, the gov. has no respect for your rights, have they any moral right to prevent you? When your constitution is trampled and the 'social contract' has become as one-sided as it is, do you have any obligation to obey? But I guess Big Brother is always right after all, citizen.
But the real problem is why they want to spy. The answer lies in the great Orwellian phrase 'thoughtcrime'. If you start mentioning Iraq, biological weapons, smuggling, whatever, you can bet on someone showing up on your door if Echelon really does (has) take(n) off. Why? Not because you did anything, but because of your thoughts, your expressions. When it becomes illegal to think, which is what the gov. seems to be aiming at, you can bet I'm moving to Antarctica. 'Freedom doesn't exist, it's only what you take'.
I sure hope they capture this with their billion dollar spy setup.
TRUSTe has validated a lot of stuff. Now, for all we know everything that they've validated is full of privacy holes. As far as I'm concerned, this really makes me question whether they do any more than take the money and run. ~~~~~~~~~
I found the installer easier to use than Mandrake 6.0 and what's more, I simply got it over FTP, something that isn't supported by most linux distributions.
Of course to get a good system, you need to ditch OpenBSD's standard tools (sh, ls, etc) and get the GNU versions.
Of course, OpenBSD's port system makes this ridiculously easy (cd/usr/src/ports/whatever; make)
Isn't MSN free in the UK or something? Then why are they raising the price here?
Maybe it's to implement all that XML, "a set of rules, or a protocol, that enables Web browsers to exploit the same information stored in data bases for a variety of commercial transactions and information gathering". So I guess if Linux starts to use XML for it's configuration files, you'll only be able to run it through a browser, right? And XML competes with Java? They're not even remotely similar. Idiots.
Personally, I think that it's about time a big company took charge of this "Linus" thing. Sure those finnish 15-year old freaks had thier fun, but who uses it anyway? I tried to run it under NT, but only got error messages. I mean come on! If you punks can't "hack" it (heh heh!), maybe you should go back to middle school and let the professionals take over. ~~~~~~~~~
Hmmm... hasn't this been said before? A few hundred times perhaps?

It was originally called "Personal Home Page Tools", so I guess that's what it's from. Dunno what happened to the 'T', tho.

Will it be PHP vs. Perl or PHP vs. Python?
PHP vs. Intercal, perhaps?

We've all heard the rumors, so there's no need to beat around the bush. The real question we all want to know is:
Has Her Majesty ever cracked root?

What can a playstaion2 do that my PS/2 50Z (12Mhz 286, MCGA, MCA) can't?
