Slashdot put a space in that URL... first time I looked at it, it appeared to be a link to the file relativity.h, and I wondered a) what the library did, and b) how it was relevant to this discussion...
"FireWire technology does 'make it much more difficult for hackers,' said Peter Mell, a computer security expert at the National Institute of Standards and Technology"
When will they learn that "much more difficult" and "really fucking easy" are synonymous? There is an almost unlimited number of us, to the few they can hire. If they don't make it absolutely impossible, it'll be broken within months.
Heh... doing all the documentation for my programs has corrupted me. I code all my HTML by hand.
Ween them off of Office. Give them Macromedia Dreamweaver. Its user friendly, and other than generating documents with 50% whitespace (thanks to a built-in code beautifier), the HTML is usually pretty good.
And now I look like a macromedia salesman... oh well.
Well, I'm 20, so you're just a bit off...
I'm just a coder... the only coder at my company, actually. The only "presentations" I give are me bitchslapping my boss for his stupid ideas.
Really, though, what can you do in powerpoint that you can't do in Flash?
Why not use HTML? I've been using HTML for years for all of my documentation. It works perfectly for a cross-platform manual accessable from anywhere.
If you need powerpoint-type presentations, Flash is easy to use, fast, and readable on nearly all modern browsers. You can even generate it with PHP or PERL.
They will check through the code, but the PGP code might have a very slight flaw in the algorithm, and if they make a new algorithm that nobody has seen, its pretty tough to look for a backdoor.
Remember, I'm talking about an encryption scheme here, not an operating system.
Some stainless is magnetic, and some isn't. I just bought a pile of 302 and 304 stainless. I sort the 302 from the 304 with a magnet, because 304 isn't magnetic.
Unfortunately, most aerospace components nowadays are made out of titanium or aluminum. Magnets don't work on many non-ferrous alloys. Try it for yourself: stick a magnet to a pop can. Falls right off.
Naw, that wouldn't work in the states... some dumbfuck congressman would realize that, "shit, this is booze!", and restrict it to people 21 and above...
I've had 2 DSL providers die on me due to lack of funding in about 1 year. You better not be talking about my current ISP, or I'm going to have to kill somebody.
If you know your position from a single point, all you need to know for the rest of the trip is direction and velocity. Get out a map. Put 2 points on the map. Draw a line straight from one point to another, then a crooked line from one to the other. Using either line, are you unsure of the final position?
Nononono, you've got it ALL wrong... We're not saying "Drinking is good", we're saying "Drink in moderation". After all, who's going to get drunk off a couple 1.875nL glasses of wine?

Did you miss the word "Unfortunately" at the beginning of that sentence?
"It looks like you're doing laundry! Would you like to run the Laundry Wizard?"
"It looks like you're bonking the milk man! Would you like information about divorce, or perhaps an online, interactive version of the Kama Sutra?"
Yeah... they'll probably even put Clippy into the damned thing...

I write CGI apps. If they're computer literate enough to install the apps, they know how to work the "printer".

There is no such thing as updating too often. If I could, I'd download patches every few hours, right off the bug team's computers.

I got mine yesterday, and my only complaint so far is its a bit slow, especially compared to my friend's iPaq.
This'll be a nice little backdoor that they write, and give to the FBI to include in Carnivore.
How long did it take anybody to find the hole in PGP?

Most "ex-hippie baby boomers" I know are technophobes anyway. This will appeal to them about as much as a draft notice...

That this doesn't mean LinuxCare will put all their effort to TurboLinux, but continues to make and improve their own products.
