Suse 9.0 pro suckath over. They gay'd out the KDE interface with cute little dragons and stupid theme sounds. Good luck trying to get rid of them. The *only* thing good is the XFS file system induction in the partioning in yast. Nvidia driver support is a hack... another good luck to ya trying to get that working... Go to gnome? Maybe for a few seconds untill you mod the taskbar and then it freezes up on you and you have to use xtrem to restart the box! Do something with it! Take SuSE back to what it was before the obession of making linux and turning it into windows hit! Oh yeah.. and add IPX for kicks!
I say that because I had always been told that dual layer DVD's were "sandwiched" together after each layer had been burned separately. This obviously means a single disc burned all at once with dual layers. So what's the deal?
With more places like ILM moving to Linux for apps usually run on IRIX artists can have one machine that runs all their favorate apps... Maya, Flash... etc. All on Linux.
...but just because it's open source does not just mean that it's "secure". Actually... because some software is hacked and patched and exposed to a massive amounts of people... it gets more focus and makes it better software. Perhaps a mac *is* more sercure becuase open source software is made and used by more "hakers"... but that remains to be seen. And no I don't care what you think. Thanks, have a great day. The more you hack me the more I find out.
The knoppix powerpc version sucked... but the idea is great for a rescue disk... I use knoppix for both x86 and PowerPC for this reason. Anybody seen anything ready for powerpc?
"IBM is being so hypocritical. If the issue is a non-issue, why don't they indemnify their customers?""
What's truely hypocritical is first SCO allowing to download a GPL'd version of the software that is now in question. And now saying it's theirs all along and now suddenly you have to pay for it... That's a true hipocrit.
Right, but to do something that complicated calls for connecting to say a ftp port with a command prompt that can run a script to inject the code, right? A simple "overflow" issue like this can not execute such code, can it? Of course I guess it really does not matter since now you have the king of kings a graphical shell to do whatever at this point...
There is a firmware password program that you can dowload from apple to make sure that only the system selected gets booted into... otherwise you need a password to boot from a CD or another boot folder. You have to hold option down at boot time and a password field comes up. There is also a password screen for the mulitple users option for OS 9 that secures booting into it. The only question is Are there any problems with the security of the security system in OS 9 like this bug in OS X? For that reason OS 9 should still be patched and support for another couple of years just like micrsoft was still supplying patches for NT untill a few weeks ago.
The fact that it works in the screensaver is not that troublesome... BUT that idea being pushed around that *all* objective c applications suffer the same issue is a big deal.
So it does do something ie it crashes the app with the overflow issue. But this type of error would not really allow for a program to be placed into memory via the actual buffer overflow... ?
It sounds as if all you need to do I type in enough charaters in to the imput field fast enough, and bamm the screensaver or whatever app "crashes" and now you're as the desktop or in single user mode. I thought a true buffer overflow attack was something different than this.
I'm going to have to use that last line as my new quote... I hope you don't mind, but it's damn true and damn funny at the same time. Which puts it in the "sad but true" catagory. This catagory, of course, is to live and die by.

I've heard that if a chip gets cooled too much... it's starts superconducting... is this true?

I just bought SuSE 9.0 Professional... Who would have thought the returns would be this high already!
OK thanks. No need to be redundant. Calling it a source engine in not exactly intuitive and therefore lied the issue.
I heard that it was the DOOM3 engine... what the heck is a source eninge anyway?

I imagine the whole thing will be a bit boring though...
Phase that out fools!

Everybody always says No, HTML is not a programming language!!! Well what now?
Who's there?
TRICK OF TREAT!!!
Bug off kids we don't give ANYTHING away free!
No... you'll never know who's faster. it's who marketing department who's fastest.
And the response from the benchmarkers "How dare you! We use Macs everyday for... yeah, we use them every, DAMN, DAY!!!

In soviet russia... Ice on mars detects scientists.
I heard the same thing about 10 years ago... How is this report any different?
