Linux is not about "market-share". It's about developers writing the code that they want. Sometimes they take outside ideas because they WANT to help people; that's why we have things like accessability in the mainstream GNOME (and KDE?). Anyway, if you want the one great desktop, write it. Nobody's stopping you.

> as Linux catches on, spyware for Linux will begin to appear
Yes, because non-root users can install software that starts at boot-time. Oh wait. No.
You'd have to save your X session every time, or just add the spyware to.xsession if you'd like that to happen. And I don't see myself doing that.
And even then, your mom's dumb spyware won't affect your account. Processes running as one user can't see another user's data. Oh no. Spyware stopped by good design.
Windows is insecure by design. Stop thinking that because everyone uses Windows it has lots of viruses and spyware. It's ALSO because it's very poorly designed. Sad but true.
Yeah damn you non-subscribers:) It was working great and then just stopped. I reloaded the main page, and whadda-ya-know the article's gone live. Damn... and after only 2 comments or so!
Speaking of which, I bought a bunch of stuff in Japan that I probably should have declared. But fuck them, it's not *my* problem, and I didn't have money anyway:)
The newer viruses send an encrypted zip file and a password. The user has to save the zip file, unzip the file, type in the password (!!!), and then execute the extracted executable. And there are STILL millions of infected boxen!!!
Obviously the mail client is not the problem. The user is:(
(And if you're wondering why the virus is encrypted, it's so it passes through filters. Encrypting with a random password has the nice side effect of randomizing the data. So there are no known strings to filter on. Pretty clever.)
> So all this 500 fps crap is so much useless bullshit.
500 fps is useless, but not for the reason you cite. It's useless because your monitor updates at about 75fps*. That means your monitor never has a chance to display 425 frames:) Also, it means that your monitor displays many frames in one scan sequence -- resulting in those lines and what looks the image being cut off and replaced with a new one. That's what's happening. Enable sync to vblank and you'll be fine. The picture will look better and you'll be saving some CPU cycles to boot. Wow!
* Somewhere between 60Hz and 120Hz. If you'd like to get more out of your monitor, look up its specs and type them into the XFree86 Modeline Generator. I went from 1152x864@70Hz to 1240x930@84Hz:) It's nice. Most monitors seem to lie to the host video card and say that they max out somewhere way below where they actually do. Just make sure you get the right specs and you should be good to go (this may entail telling your video card to not probe DDC; one of my monitors requires that [it sux anyway, though]). Have fun:)
Well, first of all there's only one AGP slot:) Next, I think it would be inefficient for two cards to sync their memory, hence defeating the purpose of drawing even and odd scanlines. By the time both cards had the same internal state, a single card could have drawn four more frames (or something).
IBM doesn't have mindshare anymore, but try to go anwhere without seeing an IBM logo. Cash registers, clocks, everything.

Umm, you keep your private key. You encrypt the message with the other person's public key. He decrypts the message, and gets the key you sent him. He destroys that message. He sends you messages encrypted with the shared key. He destroys that key. Now what's left are your public-private keys and the AIM log. But the AIM conversation was encrypted with a key that doesn't exist. Not your private key.
Don't encrypt your messages with your public keypair, though. You're supposed to use that over and over. But if you use that to encrypt sensitive material, when the material is found to be encrypted, your key will be subpoenaed. That's what the throwaway symmetric key is for, it's destroyed at the end of the session. So there's no possible way to EVER get the data back (well, if you wrote the key to a disk I guess you could use an electron microscope and figure out the key. but if "they" spend that much money to read your AIM logs, then you should be proud:D)
If this isn't clear, please post a reply. Maybe I'm missing something (although I'm fairly sure that my algorithm is secure, or at least as secure as the symmetric cipher and public-key cipher you use:)
Well, I'm a person, a member of the public. And nipples and sayingn "fuck" don't bother me. To be honest, I don't really care to see it on TV, but I respect the right for other people to see that if they want to:)
If you don't like what a network broadcasts, don't buy products from the advertisers. That should fix the network's "ideals" up quite quickly.
But not everyone wants to live in a Christian bubble*. I love God, but I also love the right to free expression. Those can go hand in hand.
* Hell, not everyone's Christian. All of these "morals" might even OFFEND some other taxpaper. Too bad we're not all drones:)
And another reason. My friend recently got death threats from people living in his Residence Hall. There were lots of details exchanged between the friends like where to get the automatic weapons, and when to kill the guy. Guess what. Those AIM logs are in the court documents.
Solution? Every morning, email (encrypted with your favorite public key algorithm [gpg'd]) a random 512-bit key to your co-conspirators. Then encrypt all AIM messages that day with that key (you can roll your own RC4 implementation [see this]). At the end of the day, shred(1) the key. Now nobody has any record of the conversation, AND you're legally in the clear. You don't know the key, so you can't turn it over.
Don't brush this off as paranoid. People know what you say on AIM. They won't if you encrypt it.
(AIM for Windows' built-in encryption is useless, BTW. All of the Windows people on my buddy list have the same key....)

Guh-nome is the correct pronounciation namely because the G is from/stands for GNU (Guh-new). There's a page at their site, but its down now :)

How can you say it's reliable when it's IN spec? Original pentium, anyone?
> Yes. The original poster saying 30fps is the maximum is mostly correct, in that gamers who say they can tell 300fps from 250fps are full of crap.
:) Because their monitors can only display 75 of those frames anyway. So those gamerZ are very full of shit.
Correct

Fine, SSL the messages out of the country, then SSL them back in. 2 more keys to get.
