If you are exceedingly lucky you might get the key right with your first guess in a brute force attack. The bigger the keyspace the less likely that is. On average a bigger key will take longer to brute force than a smaller key but it is feasible to get lucky and find a particular 163 bit key in less time than it took for that particular 109 bit key. It's just somewhat unlikely.
In Opera 6 you can have multiple tabs in multiple windows.
Opera 6 supports both old style MDI and new-style tabbed mode where you can have multiple windows.
Opera refers to Tabs as "Pages" so you have a "Page bar".
I've even created a screenshot for you as this is an oft-repeated piece of misinformation.
I find the tabs in Opera 6 much more usable than their Mozilla counterparts. Improvements include:
Ability to drag tabs between windows.
Ability to drag a tab off a window to create a new window with just that tab.
Drag and drop reordering of tabs.
Ability to double click on any empty space on a tab bar to create a new tab, rather than having to hit a small new tab target.
Opera's paged mode is simply more polished. If you try to do something it just works as you'd expect (I discovered most of the above just by trying them and being pleasantly surprised that the software did what I was expecting).
If you have a desktop you love what does it matter what the GNOME folks are doing?
The GNOME folks have made some decisions and have justified those decisions.
So you disagree with them, is it really such a big deal that they aren't targeting their work at you? Does everything have to be about you?
By and large the GNOME folks seem pragmatic and thoughtful about the whole thing. To quote Havoc:
Here is how I see it: the equivalent of replacing the desktop shell on
Windows, or using TweakUI, is to use KDE instead. Or to replace a
single desktop component, such as the window manager, or the web
browser, or terminal emulator. Or to use a TweakUI-equivalent
application with GNOME. That's why it's open source, that's why we use
standard protocols in between the components. You can tweak it until
you turn blue, swap out any piece you want. We aren't going to be
offended.
So why have 10 desktop shells and 37 window managers, and have them
all implement all the preferences so they can all be configured to be
just like any of the others? There's no real diversity or choice in
that, just bloat and duplication of effort and oceans of bugs.
Basically I think their approach is sound. They are creating a simple, stable, usable desktop environment. If you want to add complexity on top of that as a user (by choosing a different Window manager, or using a tweakui style addon that manipulates configuration options that are normally hidden) then fine, you can do that.
It is much easier to start simple and add complexity than it is to start complex and add simplicity for those that crave it.
90% of the "womens" magazines I see on the news stand seem to be adorned with artificial looking females. Not that I'm complaining, it just seems odd how involved women are with their own objectification.

Ex army guy, formally called Charles Haffey, wanted to change his name to "God", got refused, managed to get his name changed to "I Am who I Am" on October 2nd, the day the first shooting was, as I understand it.
Can someone with a reasonable knowledge of US geography tell me if the guy in this article is from around there? From my quick search it seems their both near/in Washington.
If so it's an odd coincidence if nothing else..
I have a strong incentive to find the plan with the lowest rates for calls I make.
So does everyone else.
The person calling me isn't going to be overcharged because they, like me, have chosen a plan which minimises their costs.
Nobody gets any surprises, everyone is in complete control of their own expenditure because only they can take actions which cost them money (or use up their 'free' minutes).
I wonder how something like a cap dotted with such LEDs would affect a camera.
If nothing else you might be able to freak people out by walking past electronics store windows that have cameras demonstrating in them:)
But I prefer using it in tabbed mode these days.
That way you have everything tucked in one window with no wasted screen real estate and if you want to view two windows at the same time for some reason you simply drag one of the tabs to the desktop (well, any non-opera bit of screen really) and you can do that.
I'm not American (I'm English and Australian) and from what I see available to me all the stuff I have is (or possibly was, in case of the camera which is a bit old now, it's a DSC-P1) pretty close to being the best I could buy. I have this Network Walkman and the PCG-GRX316MP as my Vaio, both about a month old now.
Just to follow up.
It took a while to find the bit of fine print that mentioned them and MagicGate sticks specifically. I thought the original poster might be right because I couldn't find what the little (*2) superscript was supposed to indicate.
I think MagicGate sucks ass too. I have a 128 meg and 64 meg memory stick that I use with my camera, but I can't use either of them with my Network Walkman. But surely these things take normal memory sticks.
If only Sony stuff wasn't so freekin cool! If I was starting again I wouldn't buy a Sony digital camera. And then I wouldn't have bought a Vaio for a laptop. And then I wouldn't have bought a Network Walkman.
So my advice if you haven't already bought Sony is to keep it that way.
The average user becoming used to ignoring security warning is a bad thing.
Part of the trust involved isn't just that I trust the name I see on the site, it's that I really am talking to to who I think I am. Remember, I can create a self signed certificate for www.abcd.com just as easy as the real owner of www.abcd.com. All I need to do then is hijack his DNS (or get my IP address with his name in your hosts file) and you're talking to me and think you're talking to him. And because we're both using self signed certificates we'd both look as real.
That's why the third party is important.
If you have an existing relationship with the people accessing the site (ie you have a channel whereby they can verify the cert once and don't become used to ignoring warnings) this isn't a problem.
comes with openssl. It even has a nice perl script to make it easy.
What Verisign and co have that you don't is their root certificates installed with the browsers by default.
For internal use you should have no problem using your own certificates. For external use, where an existing business relationship exists (ie you aren't selling to the public, but to people who can trust your cert because they know who you are) it should take little more than a quick explanation.
For example a while ago I was doing my home contents insurance. I have a fairly large CD collection and insuring them all would be expensive, especially as they don't fit under general contents above a rather low threshhold.
That got me thinking, I've already bought the rights to a copy of all this music, if those physical copies get stolen then I should be able to replace them cheaply. With a sufficiently powerful DRM system, perhaps I could have some ID that I can use to get new copies of all my tunes (and maybe invalidate all the stolen ones).
Of course, I don't trust the buggers any more than most of you, but it astounds me that they don't even appear to be offering the consumer any enhanced functionality to sweeten the DRM deal.
Is that as breeches go it is a fairly minor one with a trivial work around, yet it remained confidential in bugzilla. If it isn't a big enough security hole to warrant instant attention then it should not be hidden in bugzilla, so anyone can have a whack at fixing it.
It's more or less the inverse, this bug enables the referer to know where they refered you to.
Of course, if you really wanted to do that then in most cases you'd just set up a bounce script on your server, much like freshmeat does, so that it would work on anyone.
"Books" and personal communications are different environments. Although I do (occasionally) use smileys it doesn't mean that I need to because I have no other way of expressing myself effectively. It simply means that for the particular communication in question I determine the smiley to be an effective method of quickly and easily clarifying meaning. While I could say "Just joking by the way!", a ";)" is just as effective.
Or perhaps I should compose all my correspondence in sonnet form, just to show I have an impressive "grasp of the written word".......

Sounds like a good way to get you ass sued by microsoft!
But then again it's one of the big ones so there's probably a bit more room for a solid structure than in these tiny beasties.
If you have a GTK desktop then Mozilla 1.2 will just match the current GTK gui (a few bugs notwithstanding) in Classic. You don't need to do anything.

I've only tried to use the SonicStage app that comes with the Vaio so far. Time to suck those MP3s off my old PC :)

it in fact harks back to the original, literal, meaning of those words.
