Even on my windows machines I use nightlies of MozillaFirebird as the default browser! It's simply just the best - The ONLY thing I have come across is that it sometimes crashes when you use back several times in quick succession (possibly when there are flash or java or the like on some of the intermediate pages). Other than that, it's Firebirdlife is blissful;) (not sure if I'm just ignorant, but that's a definite possibility!):) Thunderbird is very cool also! (Also my default mail app!)
What type of encryption is used? Skype uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) - also known as Rijndel - which is also used by U.S. Government organizations to protect sensitive, information. Skype uses 256-bit encryption, which has a total of 1.1 x 1077 possible keys, in order to actively encrypt the data in each Skype call or instant message. Skype uses 1536 to 2048 bit RSA to negotiate symmetric AES keys. User public keys are certified by Skype server at login.
Well, that sounds solid enough for me! How about you?:P
"Sans FBI" isn't that French for "Without FBI"? Interesting though, that #8 on unix is SSH... That's supposed to be secure! (Yes I've patched!) Oh yeah and Apache and other stuff - But most of those are almost always (almost!) misconfigured servers and sloppy admins!
We have had rickshaws/bicycle taxis in Copenhagen (Denmark) with wireless access since the beginning of this year (some call them mobile net cafes). I wonder how many actually use this?!
I'll be able to afford it, and then run a thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition, on a sixty-four bit processor! Uhm... Maybe I'll buy it and install linux on it, all the big good games are coming to linux now it seems:) Can't wait! 178$ - wow!:) Doubt that I will totally be rid of windows in the next few years though. You know. Work and such;)
Don't think I'll be trying this. Gentoo is a source distro - Granted it's really really cool! I run it on one of my servers. It compiled for over 24 hours when I installed it from stage 1 - That was a 450MHz P2 with 396MB RAM - I wonder how long it would take to compile on a PS2!
The price is horrendous! I just found a place selling it for 840 EUR - roughly the same as the dollar. That is INTENSE! I mean, it's not even got WiFi or bluetooth or anything like that. On the other hand, it looks to be one of the coolest PDAs around. Keyboardless PDAs don't do it for me. I have an old Psion Revo laying around, which is pretty cool but outdated, before that I had Cassiopeia and another, but without keyboard they're not as attactive.
Give me a Zaurus with wireless and a built in tri-band phone, and I am sold. No messing.
The http://tjek.nu/ shortener gives an option to use javascript redirection (document.location.replace / document.location.href) to redirect;) In that case the referer will be tjek.nu (haven't checked but I'm fairly certain) 8-)
Yes and no. As another one put this would be a good way to work: Have a project manager assigned. All he does is to keep track of your departments assignments, timetables, deadlines, milestones etc. All requests go through him. Noone else. He should then get a clear picture of what they're asking, and then come to you to help you estimate the assignment. If there is a "no", you should always give elaborate reason as to why (i.e. make the customer realize what a bad idea it is). It's a good thing to do the estimate anyway, in case the customer just says, "I don't care, do it anyway!"... Oh and the PM should also help the customer prioritize the assignments!
The biggest mistake is to talk directly to the people that do the assignments. A lot of those people don't know how to say no, or have the customer realize that it isn't a great idea.
I've worked in such enviroments for at least 6 years. I was one of those who had a hard time saying no. After I got kids, it got a lot easier;)

CD-Rs are too low capacity anyway. I have lots of data that I want to keep. I have a 120GB USB2 disk (480Mbps) - I use a sync program to duplicate the data. If I want historical data I zip/tar.gz or whatever is easiest for the task. I back up my documents, digital photos, databases and web sites. And of course my code. The harddisk in the USB2 box is easily replaced if you want more capacity! I'm thinking about buying a DVD writer at the moment, but that won't keep me from doing my harddisk backups like I usually do.
I don't know where you're from - Oh well, I'm guessing in America. But in other countries, like Denmark, it's illegal to do stuff like that yourself. Nullifies insurance and stuff. Hiring professionals for that sort of thing is wise, and not just for the aforementioned reasons. A (cheaper) solution in Denmark would be to get an electrician to moonlight it (or whatever it is called), and get his company to "stamp" it a valid installation.
Actually, history can work against Unix. Imagine having to repeatedly patch over time for new machines. It's the patches that cause problems. Plus, the technology used in Windows NT has been around for about 15 years. It's not exactly 'new'
Windows NT was built on VMS which is 23 years old if I'm not mistaken;)
True, both the apache and the sshd *parent* processes run as root, apache launches child processes (those that serve requests) as another user (apache or httpd).
Same with sshd - it spawns a new process in the account name of the user that logs on.
Have anyone every tried contacting MS via abuse@microsoft.com etc? You always get a guy called "Ronaldo", and he always replies with stuff COMPLETELY irrelevant. I'm sure he's a bot.:P
Why doesn't Reasoning fill the niche, and code a completely error free web server? They know other peoples mistakes, so they should know how to code an error free one. Well, seriously, I wouldn't put much in their obvious estimation.

Do they have pictures of their server burning right now? ;)

Ha! That was easy! Surprisingly you use the exact same password as I do! What are the odds?! Needless to say I changed it.
There are several similar applications out there, the oldest I can remember off-hand is Speak Freely which does secure p2p.
Right now we use Ventrilo internally at work - it's not secure, but we can do conferencing in super quality with VERY low bandwidth! It's excellent!

They pushed it back because they haven't found any bugs yet

Doesn't it wear off once you get arrive at work? ;)

Jaguar is renamed to Panther Full Speed, Panther is now called Panther High Speed - It was coded by Incas, what do you expect.
Ok, that was quite bad.
