I'm only repeating what I thought that book "Secrets and Lies" said. Sorry can't remember the author but he's the kinda famous guy that all cryto people look at.
1) Imagine a beowulf cluster (blah blah blah) &
2) Has anyone ported l0phtcrack to Linux yet ? Man, I sure am gonna have some fun downloading those password hashes....

"But it is true that Linux are actually rapidly increasing their market share in the US also. Doesn't this pose a threat?"
Linux is simply a fad that has been generated by the media and is destined to fall by the wayside in time. Windows 2000 will gradually overtake the Linux share in the server market. In fact, the advent of Linux has spurred Microsoft's developers to move up a gear. The arrival of new competitors in applications or operating systems development provides us at Microsoft with the driving force to create even better software products.

Microsoft Strengths Against this Competitor (Don't forget, all these apply TO M$, not GNU/Linux stuff)
* Thousands of compatible applications
* Better integration and ease-of-use; stronger long-term buy

Sorry - gratituous link to prove that of course "www.hotmail.com" is always going to return windows 2000 blah blah, but the truth isn't quite parallel with MS's docs. Hell, I could hack the apache source code to return whateverthehell I wanted. I think that migration is still far from over....
If you liked the matrix, you should check out the film "speed" - it went straight to Video / DVD but believe me, it rocks. *FAR* better fight scenes (not as many special effects), but just as silly story.
If you sniff around the real.com website, you can download a patch to rip to almost any bitrate you want - it's free too (but it's not that well linked to!!)

It should really be multiple choice, not a slashdot thing. The comments will now go along the lines of either:
1) USA should apologise - they killed a Chinese pilot off the coast of China - what would happen if it was the other way around ?
2) China should apologise for the fighter pilot being too cocky and crashing
3) They both should apologise
4) China should release the airmen, but keep the plane
5) America shouldn't be a bully
and it goes on and on and on and on

(apologies for those offended by my lack of tact for this international incident, but this is a tech web site. I really don't want to read about this here. I want to read about un*x, windoze, space shuttle things, new cool gadgets, moon and mars rock etc etc).
1) Always, whenever you create a new keypair, create a revocation key. Copy that key onto a floppy / CF / Smartmedia card etc etc, and delete it from the default store. If you're really paranoid about "sneak and peek" etc, revoke and re-issue another key when you start sending really private stuff.
2) Make your passphrase something stupidly difficult. Even two words without spaces is n^2 (where n = number of words you know, probably about 30,000 if your averagely(sic?) smart) harder to crack.
3) Keep up-to-date software. Remember the pgp 6.5.1 problem ? (I don't know if I have the right version, but it was something to do with not generating sufficient random numbers - although someone will probably correct me)
4) Treat all unencrypted email as public domain. Consider it read by your boss, IT department, the recipient's boss and the recipients IT department.
5) Treat all encrypted stuff as just encrypted for a certain period of time. All those encrypted archives that people made 10 years ago ? With todays tech, it'll probably be just a matter of hours before they're all plain text again.
6) Use cryptology for messages that don't require it - otherwise only the interesting stuff will be attacked
That's my 0.03 EUR. Chances are I've kept some gaping holes in their, but what the hell - have to make some posts sometimes....
Hey if I could get half the augmentations that are on Deus Ex, I'd be the first to sign up to hailstorm (especially that cool infra-vision one, and the ability to swim underwater for ages).
And I get to kill loads of bad guys as well.... (if it's really like Deus Ex, then I even get to kill Bill in the end as well!).
IButtons rock !! I got the development kit to see if they actually could do anything useful. I messed around a bit and found that they were pretty cool - but all I use 'em for now is for logging into win2k automagically ( you can assign a username / password to each individual serial #). Whenever a mate comes round and says "how do I login?", I just lend em my keyring and say "press on the blue dot". Nothing short of "wow" everytime....
Now surely that has got to have the most realistic hack ever - only coz it's got three cute babes in it (and we all know that they are really into that kinda cracking stuff).

Do you promote the use of desktop - redhat in your corporate environment to prove to the visiting investors / PR people that is is ready ? If not, do you think it might help focus the attentions of your desktop development team (if that's what you call them) that it's vital to redhat to break into the desktop market.
.... and spread a few of the new seeds around the world (after copyrighting the DNA, of course). Can I then (in about 20 years time), sue the hell out of everbody for misuse ?
What is going on here ?!
Having only read about beowulfs (and never actually installed one) and then about all the wine stuff (downloaded but not-installed-just-yet coz-I-got-other-stuff-to-doright-now) could some mad scientist out there write a 3d game encompassing a ridiculously large beowulf cluster ? Hell, I gotta Twin Celery linux machine just acting as my fileserver and proxy for 1% of it's cpu cycles (SETI for the rest). That would surely be worthy of a slashdot posting.
