Your sig links to a site called openadvocacy.net. How would you feel if the owners of advocacy.net brought a trademark suit against you for your use of their name in your domain name? I'm sure you would cry foul, and post to slashdot about how big business is killing the smaller guys. It's very easy to say that it is 'easy' to change the name of OpenSSH, but is it justified? I am not going to speculate on whether or not it is indeed the right thing to do, I just thought I would offer my two bits.

I forgot to mention that the most frightening thing about the policy is that if a student were to have his/her account permanently disabled, that student would have to withdraw from the University. So many assignments (especially for a Comp. Sci. major) are submitted electronically, there would be no way to pass classes.

I attend a rather well-known University in the South. Of course, they have the requisite "we own you and your data" policy. They state in very explicit terms that they have the right, at any time, to search and confiscate my computer, hard drives, and other media. They say that they also have the right to monitor network traffic, and disable any account which is exhibiting "unusual or excessive" activity. This all seems incredibly arbitrary to me, and worries me very much. My question to you is: Do I have any legal recourse? My main quarrel is that as a first-year student, I am forced to live on campus, and many classes require work to be submitted electronically. Since I am unable to "opt-out" of their heavy-handed policy, do I have any legal recourse if I were to encounter a search-and-seizure situation with the Administration here?

Do you fuckers really have to drag linux into every fucking thread on/.? I mean Jesus H. Christ! If there were a story about limp penises, someone would ask if the limp penis supported kernel 2.4.x, or if Limp Penis 1.0 would be outwardly compatible with sshd. Christ, give it a break.

What is inside that giant geodesic dome that looks like a golf ball?
12.2m Radio Telescope
The 12.2 meter radio telescope is a precision surface antenna protected by a 20 meter Gore-Tex® radome.
The antenna (below) is an elevation over azimuth configuration, controlled remotely via fiber optics from the main control center in building #1. Radio Frequency (RF) is also linked via fiber optics to the control room in building #1.
The 12.2 meter's precision surface is evident in this photo. Pseudo-random shaping of the GoreTex® radome panels also allows for lower loss and a more extended frequency range operation than might be possible in a more conventional geodesic dome design.
-
I do live in NC. As a matter of fact, I live approximately 6 miles from this facility. The installation carries with it a lot of mystique for the locals here, in regards to its top secret classification a few years back.
The place is a cool visit. It's amazing to see what it actually was, instead of just hearsay and conjecture. I think the new owners will be very pleased with their site and location.
I would encourage all/.'ers to visit PARI if they have a chance. It definitely holds geek value, besides the beautiful view from the top of that mountain.

In order to clarify what this moron is saying (in Portugese, no less), I thought I might as well post the translation (a la Babelfish). Now you can moderate him -1 offtopic. Translation is as follows.
As well as in the life - and the amateur radio - nor all the participants of the colloquy have interesting things to say, but some have, and many people have developed lasting friendships through the IRC Until marriages have resulted of relationships initiated for the IRC. To say the truth, some people if had become so vitiated to talk in the Internet that already exists a newsgroup of the entitulado Usenet alt.irc.recovery. The value of the IRC depends on as you use it. The IRC can bring you company when you nao obtain to sleep, familiar union can contribute it and to reduce its telephonic account. It can also display the behaviors to you disagreeable. Colloquies can become savages and, say thus, " inventiveness ", and any one (man or woman) that it uses one nick feminino could be assediado. It also exists a great amount of hot colloquies, unprincipled people and mental trash in the IRC, and must have precaution when leaving children to have access the IRC without supervision. But, as an adult, you he is free to visit only the channels that you to choose, and also exist a great amount of positive communication happening. The IRC gained international fame during the Gulf War in 1991, where the whole world notice had come through the wire, and the majority of the IRC users whom they were connected in the hour if had matched in an only channel to hear such reports. The IRC had a use similar during the revolt against Boris Yeltsin in September of 1993, where using of IRC of Moscow they were giving interviews to the living creature on the unstable situation of there. As you can see, the Internet Relay Chat is a great way to talk with the whole world people on any subject. Beyond the most brought up to date notice the world, it exists much aid and channels of bed technician where you can get immediate aid with perplexos problems of computer in an easy way to understand!

Sarcophagus: from the Latin Sarcos, meaning "flesh," and Phagus, meaning "eater."
Literally translated, "Sarcophagus" means Flesh-eater. The definition fits, though, as the early peoples, such as Egyptians, thought that the coffin dissolved the flesh as time went by. They were unfamiliar with the process of decay and rotting.

The l0pht's decision to remove detailed advisories from bugtraq, and instead use links to their site containing the detailed reports is just business as usual. I was a regular reader of www.hackernews.com until they merged with @stake. It seems to me as though Weld Pond and the rest who used to be so dedicated to the security community have succumbed to the almighty dollar, as so many others have. Hackernews.com went seriously downhill when it turned into a revenue source. I find it hardly suprising though. If you owned @stake, wouldn't you be willing to sacrifice some respect for increased web traffic and advertising dollars? Probably.

Flechettes...interesting. I witnessed a flechette hand grenade exploding in real life. Quite a harrowing experience. The ROTC group here set up some wood scraps as 'targets' and threw the grenade in the middle. The wood was completely shredded. I could only imagine those tiny shards of metal ripping through flesh and bone, rendering a human into a soft pile of blood and guts. Scary.
-
This is all well and good, and it would be mighty cool if it actually existed. Too bad it doesn't, and we'll have to wait and see if this ever gets off the ground. I would like to see the prices of the drives/media for this technology. I'm sure they would be through the roof. Anyway, when it is first released, what would be the purpose? I'd just as soon buy a couple of big SCSI HDD's and store all of my pr0n/warez/divx rips/source code on them, rather than give my left nut for something that won't be compatible with anything anyone else has.

Exactly. If you were arrested, would you start spouting off at the mouth about your criminal past, and let the cops come into your house and search it freely without first contacting an attorney? Of course you wouldn't, because when you allow a party to search your premesis/property without the proper documentation and without the advice of an attorney, you're stepping on a legal land mine that will leave your company and any suits that you'd want to bring crippled. If someone from the BSA showed up at my door, I would politely recieve any documentation they had for me, shut the door in their face, and promptly get on the horn to my attorney. It's the only sensible course of action.

CNN Declares that Bush won Florida's 25 electoral votes, and now has the 270 needed. Governor G. W. Bush is your next president. That is the final word. Thank you and goodnight.

Looks like the republicans will retain control of the house of representatives! Good. At this point, GW has to carry either Florida or all three of the other states, which is not likely, considering that Bush will have a hard time carrying Florida and Iowa. Now that the republicans have the house, and they will most likely have the senate, this will make sure that we have another four years of getting absolutely nothing done. Democratic White House, Republican congress. More legislative gridlock. Go figure.

Without seeing the address, I could've told you that this was from a microsoft.com addy. It's such a skewed view of the Linux project. While it's entirely possible that the projects will fizzle due to finite resources, it's not likely. How could KDE and GNOME have survived as long as they have if they didn't have the resources? It's already well on it's way to one of the greatest open-source projects out there, and obvoiusly has garnered a large contingency of prorammers who are willing to work for free. Why would the coders already interested in furthering the project quit now? Just more pandering by a MS employee trying to dispel the rumor that Linux is growing in popularity, and could some day rival the popularity of some of MS's software. Maybe not in the near future, but some day.
