but it sure does keep a lot of junk away from my mail server. I have tried to disable it, but as soon as I did that, tons of junk mail got through. I don't really care if it should filter a few wrong mails, the alternative for me would be not to use email at all.
Yes, you are right, but there are so many ways it can get killed before it reaches it's target. Switching to another video format, pal/ntsc, not displaying the video in "full screen" but rather with a lot of graphics around. And then ofcourse when it's a copy of a copy of a copy. I'd rather say that the chance of a "encoded" message rather would be a line or a sentence that would "trigger" a predefined mission.. of course it's a low tech way, but was used a lot for getting messages and locations of weapon drops forthe freedom fighters under World War 2.
Mother: "Son, what are you doing?"

I know the GUI "snappiness" gripe is a minor one (hey, I'm posting this from KDE 2.2.1), but the memory usage issue is a big one to me. What sort of mechanisms already exist (or are planned) in X to accomodate this sort of thing?
soloution: buy more memory.... Please. we're dying out here.
One of my servers at home is a FreeBSD 4.1 running on a 166mhz Pentium. The harddrive are a 10GB 5400 speed Samsung(I think). The IDE controller does not support any fancy new IDE standards(and the BIOS didn't support a HD that size, but BSD just told me that my BIOS was fu..., and that I should use its parameters).
Anyway, from this old machine I can keep a steady 5.4MB pr. second.
There is a good thing about using fiber this way. With so many "home" computers, a lot of them are bound not to be properly grounded. And you could end up frying a lot of hardware. Using fiber is great in this way, then you are the only responsible one for shocking your pc.:-)
This i why i hate cable tv. sigh. Have toasted the video out on my Gforce card.
Now this is really what "news for nerds" is all about. I'll bet that I was not the only one who sat thinking about how the videophone worked/looked instead of listening to the actual news broadcast.:-)
I was on FIDOnet when 9600 was only a wet dream. I was so 1337 that I had a 2400 baud modem. In the beginning I mostly ran it on 1200 because it felt strange to run 2400 unless you really needed it. Also many of those BBS were designed from the fact that the modems were no faster than you could read the text as it read it on screen. Later on, the concept of a "more" function was introduced.:-)
Ah those were the days.. and lets not get started on the 75 baud modems, yes 75.
I had 2 40GV running striping, but they did some clicking from time to time so I figured that striping them without no redundancy was not a good idea. So I got a 75gb 75GXP instead. I did some quick performance tests on it and the single 75GXP was faster than the two 40GV's(on a on-board Highpoint controller on my abit VP-6 board).
So now I hope that it won't die on me. I haven't had a drive quitting on me the last few years, except for one Fireball that lasted for 2 hours. I normally buy a new HD for my desktop PC every year, and the old ones normally goes to a Linux or FreeBSD box setup where they run 24/7. The same thing happens for my old desktops, aah ye olde Pentuim 166 running FreeBSD on a 4gb drive. Still humming along.
The easy way to annoy users of banner blocking software is to name images vital to the site browsing something like banner or ad. That stops them right there, works very well.
With that said, I must say that I also use banner blocking software these days. I know that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and that bannerads helps paying for the site. So I have accepted banners for a long time.
But with the introduction of popup/under ads on so many sites these days, it was just too much for me.
Where I live, we have had a card like that for years, but I fail to see how that would prevent terrorists from doing their thing. Normally these ID cards are not given to people before they become a citizen of the country. But still in this case, it is clear that someone need to merge their databases to get the full picture of what is going on.
What defence is there against people who are ready to die to achieve their goal. We all know than "if we set our minds to it", we can do anything. In this case it has indeed focused our attention on a entirely new problem. There are those who build their countries on a concept of freedom under responsability, where the laws are designed to protect other from their evil doings and not to protect them against themself. But our problem is that we have countries with people that feels that in the whole, they are doing good and there are countries with people that feel that they have nothing to loose and that a act that will require them to sacrifice their own life in order to change their image of the world for the greater good of their people, it will be allright.
While the attack we saw did a lot of damage and in our eyes was the worst thing that could happen, I can think of a lot of installations that would cause a lot more damage if they were attacked in the same way. The towers was a landmark and a symbol of the western culture and becuse of that, a good target to hit if you really wanted to make a statement. But if you really wanted to make damage then you would want to take out the backbone of the country. The US and other has done this already. Attacking powerplants to remove the much needed power to keep the country running. Just think about how the US today having problems keeping up with the demand for power in some places. So take out a powerplant and make it a nuclear one, and you have really done damage. Today most westeren nuclear plants are encapsuled in a strong shell, that enables it to take a lot of punishment, even a aircraft. But what if there were two aircrafts, and these two just had taken of with their wings full of fuel. Then the outlook is not so good anymore. Something you don't even want to think about.
It's clear that we have been forced to wake up now and smell the coffee, even if we dont really want to. So what is freedom to you now? Is freedom that you limit your country/goverment in the ways of tracking you and others or monitoring that tries to keep a track of those that threatens your freedom. I don't have the answer, I guess there must be a "happy" middle. Of course this week has been a great chance for those who seeks total control and monitoring to step forward and get their agenda through.
If you don't know what to do, confuse people

Seems more to me that _they_ are doing the same thing I do when I encounter a computer related problem I can't solve or figure out why it suddenly worked.
I start getting very technical and explain a lot of stuff, hoping to cover the fact that that I didn't have a clue.:-)
(yeah, just call me stupid, but how many haven't tried to fix a error in a M$ product that dissapears as quickly as it appeared)
Example:
When I buy a program online, all I get is a serial number or a username and password to download it. I always print out a copy of the page. No matter how cool the paperless office might sound, it's damd nice to have it on paper when you just can't find that email where the code was.
I have a 750 PIII notebook, and the speed is fine, except from the fact that the harddrives still are slow. More memory to avoid swapping does help a lot. But what I really would like are faster harddrives. Of course when creating a harddrive for a notebook, there are other issues than creating a drive for a machine that does not get a lot of bumps and shocks, so I guess all I can do is wait.
When I connect via my SSH telnet client it, a logon window pops up where I type username and password which then gets sent at the same time.
I also compress my transmission to increase the speed, which I guess will make small delays in what I send in order to make the chunks of data big enough so that the compression work.
