  1. Re:I hope They Fix .Net Then on Microsoft Drops Aging Encryption Schemes · · Score: 1

    Here I can see System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256 under .NET 2.0 Beta. So It's already there.

    And these RNA transcripts can be very small, but still regulate the translation of many genes. It'll be a while until the function of all of these RNA's are understood.

  4. Re:Gentoo 2.6.13 on Vanilla Kernel 2.6 Stability vs 2.4? · · Score: 1

    (2.6.13 works ok, btw)

    1. make sure you drop devfs and devfs mount at boot from kernel
    2. make a `make mrproper` (save your .config elsewhere before)
    3. I see that I'm still having devfsd installed; don't seems to be a problem in my case.
    4. I edited /etc/rc and told the file to use udev, and not auto. (not required, but I wanted to be sure).

    --

    Decided to compile 2.6.13 with the default timer frequency at 250 hz (was at 1000hz with 2.6 before)

    I also selected the premption level to 2 (desktop).

    --

    Only bug so far:

    iee80211 and ipw2200 didn't want to compile under 2.6.13; had to delete a header file (see gentoo bug #97397) so they can compile.

    good luck !

  5. Re:Gentoo 2.6.13 on Vanilla Kernel 2.6 Stability vs 2.4? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As I am typing this, I'm about to do make modules_install of gentoo's 2.6.13 kernel ;-)

    You do know that this release dropped support of devfs ? From now on, you'll need a udev system.

    Took me half an hour to convert to udev on 2.6.12, and everything went right.

    But again, I as reboot on 2.6.13 after typing this, maybe I'll regret it ;-)

    The solution to the listeners problems is simple. You don't directly keep the listeners objects in a list, but in special objects (WeekReferences, ReferenceQueue). See the java.lang.ref.* package.

    As for working with Threads, yeah, your're right. But it's not that bad. Anyways, I think that under .NET you cannot also update the GUI in a thread, like Swing. You always have to use the main dispatcher thread.

  17. I emailed them and got this response, in a PDF : on Belkin Routers Route Users to Censorware Ad · · Score: 1

    I e-mailed them, telling them that I would not ever buy one of ther product, and that this behavior was unaceptable, etc...

    I still think that they don't get it, but of course, thats PR damage control now... ;-)

    I got that in return :

    Does the Belkin Router send me Spam? NO.

    Recently a group of privacy advocates have targeted Belkin Routers,
    claiming that Belkin Routers equipped with Parental Control send spam,
    unwanted advertisements and spyware to computers.

    1. Belkin Parental Control Content Filtering is promoted on our 802.11g
    Wireless Router packages as an added value service included with purchase.
    Parental Control filtering enables our customers to block access from their
    network to specific websites; it is a content filter, nothing more.

    2. During the installation process, the router produces a web page asking
    the owner of the router if they want to sign up for a free six-month trial of
    Belkin Parental Control, similar to common online product registration requests.

    3. The Parental Control registration page is not spam, adware or spyware. It is
    part of the setup process of the router. It does not hi-jack the browser.

    4. Belkin routers do not install spyware or adware, nor does Belkin have the
    ability to advertise to our customers using our routers as a conduit.

    5. If a customer clicks No Thanks on the first prompt, the registration page for
    Parental Control signup will no longer appear. Additional Information: - The No
    Thanks button is not a trick button that will install spyware, etc. on the computer.

    If a customer is uneasy clicking No Thanks in the web page, to stop the reminder,
    you can navigate to the Internal web page of the Router, click on Parental Control and
    select Don t Remind me Every 8 hours . This will stop the web page from ever being
    displayed again. - If the browser window is closed without clicking No Thanks , it will
    be displayed again after 8 hours has elapsed. Please note that this is not a browser
    pop-up, this means that the Parental Control web page will only be displayed if the user
    opens the browser.

    Again, Clicking No Thanks will stop the web page from being displayed. We sincerely
    hope that this information provides an explanation that meets your needs, if for any reason
    you would like to contact Belkin directly, please email your concerns to

    Kannynmc@belkin.com

    Kannyn MacRae Business Unit Manager,

    Note!

    To Install Ximian Desktop 2 for RedHat 9 (x86), please do the following:

    1) Burn the ISO to a CD.
    2) Mount the CD, and run installer-i386. make sure you have network
    connectivity. The installer will need a file from ximian.com, but it's only
    300k.
    3) Select "Local Media" and point it at where you mounted the cd (usually /mnt/cdrom for RedHat)

    4) THIS IS IMPORTANT!
    You'll get to a point where you verify what packages the installer will
    install. LOOK AT THE VERSIONS of the packages that will be installed.
    Note all the packages that do NOT have 'ximian' in the version number.
    These need to be installed from RedHat 9 media BEFORE continuing.

    If you see any packages that lack 'ximian' in its version, QUIT THE INSTALLER,
    install the missing packages, and rerun the installer.

    5) After noting 4, and installing the "missing" packages, rerun the installer.
    In a few minutes, you'll be able to enjoy your new XD2 install!
