I am very surprised after reading http://sion.quickie.net/keysigning.txt This is a very inefficient way of signing and it does not provide you with the guarantee that the one you sign really is the person.
I have been using ASPseek for some time. The search results are remarkably similar to Googles. If you want a libre alternative to Google for your own sites, ASPseek is probably the way to go.
I am quite impressed with OpenCores. To test their cores you will need some kind of advanced EPROM-burner. I am not aware of the price of this, but you could ask OpenCores.
Wouldn't it be fun to be able to run free software on free hardware?
Software patents are valid in Europe. An example is WO0144988 which is
a world patent also valid in Japan. You can find more on
Espacenet by searching for 'Internet'
and looking for patents starting with WO.
The EU is preparing changes for
the patent laws. If you are a European, please help us inform the
citizens. To help inform we intend to make a free film explaining the
problems. The film will be available via the Internet. Read more about
this initiative. As we
have so far been focused on turning the Danish oppinion most of our
stuff is in Danish. We need your help to change this.
For an english talk on software patents listen to
RMS in
India.

Both Europe and Japan have software patents. Quite a deal of the software patents are World Patents.
One example is: WO0145062. You can find a lot more. Just search http://ep.espacenet.com for the simple word 'Internet'. Then look at the patents starting with WO.
We intend to stop the software patents in Europe. Please help us: SSLUG
In a company where I am a consultant the rate is 33% of the normal hourly pay for being on call. If anything happens during the shift: 200% of the normal hourly pay.
So: 24 hours on call will pay the same amount as 8 hours regular work. And 4 hours emergency work also pays the same as 8 hours regular work.
You can erase the drive with software. But
the reason why you can recover data from a drive
erased with software is magnetization creeping.
The magnetization starts out as a narrow track with a high signal to noise ratio. If the magnetization is not altered it will slowly spread out from the narrow track.
You might want to think of it as a hill of sand: over time the hill will be worn down and spread out, but it will still be a hill.
If you have written something a year ago the magnetization will have spread some. If you overwrite the data today then it will be possible to read the one year old data by reading just beside the track. If you overwrite the new data tomorrow it will still be possible to retrieve the 1 year old data, but it will be significantly harder to retrieve the data written yesterday.
So: while it does help to overwrite data several times, it is still possible to retrieve data that has been on the drive for long.
If data is only altered once a year, it will be possible to retrieve the individual years.
I think IBAS is capable of recovering up to 6 generations back. As you might expect this is not cheap.
ESR mentions both Adaptec and Cyclades. As far as I know both of these companies do make money.
If you feel it is propaganda please prove it wrong. You only harm your own credibility by spreading FUD on ESR. Posting as AC does not quite help either.
So: If you really have a point to prove prove it. And do it non-anonymously.
Slashdot Mirror
http://www.ec-gc.ca/ has an updated version of the suspend message. It explains the story more.

Shorter:
>filename.ext
But you do not need the :
> /var/log/messages
will do.
Shorter and better:
du | sort -n
This will show if one of the subsubsub dirs is taking all your disk space.
Xargs is much more fun with complex data processing. e.g.
Convert all PSDs to PNGs:
Ahh, but you will get bitten by all the files with single quotes (like: Mum's birthday.psd)
Parallel to the rescue (then you can also make sure you use all your cpu cores):
ls *.psd | cut -d . -f 1 | parallel -j+0 convert {}.psd {}.png
To me this is easier to understand:
find . -name \*.xml | parallel "svn propget svn:mime-type {} | grep -q application/xml && svn propset svn:mime-type text/xml {}"

Usually when key escrow and other backdoors comes up I use the following argument:
Why not just pass a law that says: You can use strong encryption for anything - unless you are a criminal.
This usually make people wake up and see the ridiculous in passing a law that prohibits strong crypto.
What are your predictions on free hardware?

Eurolinux also have some stuff in english.

The LEON being a SPARC compliant chip will it then be able to SMP? Isn't it Linux/SPARC that scales to 64 cpus?
Even if this chip sounds slow to me (25 MHz) with 64 of them it will start to take off.
So the question is really _does_ this new processor do SMP?
GnuPG was partly funded by the German government.
Search for 300.000 here. So it is not the first time German government turns to Free Software.
