USA is about to turn into a police-state, big brother-style. For a few years I have thought about going to MIT (I'm form Norway), but as of todays survailence-policies I no longer want to. You are becoming paranoid, your government is fooling and scaring you all into submission.
How come they don't GPL the code and make a run for it? I sure would have, if I cared the least about dvd-copying - at least if my company were going bankrupt anyway.
I predict this will never catch on. At least not in Europe. Here the sender pays for sent text-messages, which makes the spammer pay big money if he is to spread the word. In adidtion, it is very easy to trace messages wntering the phone-network, and thus it is very easy to catch the offenders.
NYT discovers IRC, CNN discovers CD-Rot. I'll bet the next thing that happens is that Al Gore discovers the Internet.
Seriously, though, this explains why the american congress is pushing all the ideas of the MPAA and the RIAA, they really don't know what is about to hit them. And CNN is certainly not going to tell them this time, as it seems.
The Dreambox can also quite easily be fittet with software that lets a user share his decoder-smartcards over the internet (600000 users can share one card simultaniously). The Dreambox is a fuly user-customisable decoder, with few/nonexistant restrictions of what you can implement.
PS1DRV parses a file called mc0:/BXDATA-SYSTEM/TITLE.DB (the X represents the PS2's region code) to load graphic parameters for the PS1 game that was loaded from the disc drive. There is a catastrophic buffer overflow in the parsing routine that allows one to overflow the stack and execute arbitrary code by rewriting the $RA register. If we load up our own TITLE.DB, with an entry for every PS1 disc that we want to trigger the exploit, then we can take over the PS2 boot process as soon as the disc is recognized and PS1DRV is executed.
The backspace/delete-keys works differently in every program. You never know when the backspace-key prints ~]]2 or ^h or ^\+qw or just deletes the last character. It is very annoying

You need a a geeky, yet scary carved pumpkin!
Hail thee, land of the Free(access for the government for complete omnipresent survailence)!
Didn't Amazon already patent e-shopping? By the way, didn't Amazon also patent "Land of the free"?
They should have made a more light weight webserver also!

In Us of A, patents patents you! Oh, wait..

I bet someone has to DTrace his slashdotted server real soon now..
In Soviet Russia, the steam computes YOU!
In Soviet Russia, the CD Rots you!

With this long changelog, I don't know what's important and what is not. Is there any reason to update from 2.4.22?
How about turning the web-server back on? Bet a key-card could come in handy in that matter.

See, his webserver can not accept any connections, and I bet he's not using cutter at the moment

You mean you want them to loose all the data every time you reboot?
This means they will effectively have patented the Cameleon. Funny, rather, wonder if God-made creatures counts as prior art..
