That's the same with EVERY form of authentication. If you type a password into a compromised machine, your password can be compromised. It's not really a flaw in the protocol itself.
It is taken out of context. I'm still not a big fan of what's being said, but it's not as bad as it was depicted above.
"It's older, it's not tied to Microsoft or AOL or a big company, it's one of the Internet protocols... so if you're running Windows or Linux or Macintosh or another flavor of Unix, you can use it," says Schneier. "So it's not that it's more suitable for hackers to use, it's just a more basic service and people who are anti-big-corporation are going to be more likely to use something like IRC."
He's saying that someone who is anti-big-corporation is more likely to use IRC which isn't controlled by a big company than AIM, Yahoo Messanger, or MSN. Not that anti-big-corporation people are more likely to use irc than pro-big-corporation people.
I'm probably wasting my time posting a reply to an old article, but kerberos dosen't trust anything, machines, users or servers.
The user must authenticate themselves to the kerberos server to recieve a ticket. The service you're trying to use has to authenticate itself to the kerberos server as well.

And as an FYI, MIT uses krb5, not krb4. krb4 is broken by design and considered "DEAD" when it comes to development by MIT.
"In case you haven't noticed, RedHat already charges for the boxed version of their linux distro. You can still get the.ISO's from their download sites."
I believe this is his point.
"If OpenOffice (Freely downloadable redhat) still exists, and it's GPLed, and they're going to start charging for StarOffice (Purchased Redhat), then they just shot StarOffice (Purchased Redhat) through the head."
Of course I don't quite believe in either of these statements because corporations generally prefer to license software for the better support.
And in Redhat's case, you have redhat users who want to suppor the company that makes good software, and supports a lot of open source developers.
It reports that the tivo uses a 50mhz embedded powerpc motherboard. Dosen't sound like G4 processor to me, which I believe is when Altivec was introduced.
From what the Microsoft link says, ACPI support is required as they've dropped support for APM entirely. Sounds to me like they solved the two kernel problem by just ditching legacy support.
He ripped out the existing 2.4 memory management code to replace it with an updated version of the 2.2 memory management code, not something completely new.
As for documented, from what I've read, neither VM system is very well documented.
People can be paid in a non-profit group. It's a straight salary though, not counting into the profits of the product. Still dosen't quite fit into what the original poster was suggesting though.
In this context, the group is basically just a roving band of contractors doing porting work for various companies. Not a bad plan, but not exactly a "non-profit group"
You seemed to get the point, but missed it at the 3rd paragprah.
Advocating violent overthrow of the goverment is actually protected under the freedom of speech. The goverment may want to watch over him to see if he actually attempts violence, which is not protected, but it dosen't give them the right to arrest him.
However, attacking and defacing websites does give them that right.
That's all the information they need from me. Last time I checked, McDonald's doesn't go "Gee, nobody complains that the McCrap Burger doesn't sell", they say "Gee, nobody fucking buys the McCrap Burger - cancel it!".
There's a difference there. It's the difference between bad products, and bad presentation. What if a website had the best prices you've seen, but it was impossible to find the product you're looking for easily?
People not buying products could mean that the product sucks, or that they can't find them. The store has no way of knowing which one unless you tell them.
If the product sucks, screw em. But if the products are good, and you just have trouble navigating, making sure the site is improved may be worth the time you'd take to send them feedback.
Check the date on the article. This was reported back in September. It said that filming was scheduled to begin in November.
Meanwhile, a few weeks ago I saw a preview for Goldmember. It was still a ways off, but I'd assume they would have changed the name in the nearly 4 months since this article was written if there were still legal issues surrounding it.
That law states that it is not infringement to copy media (or whatever) for personal use.
That dosen't mean that the vendors are required to allow you to make the copies. They can do their best to prevent copying. It's just not infringement if you get around their block.
Interesting that their sales figures went down the year that they managed to shut napster down. When napster was around, and they were saying how it was eating into their revenue, their earnings were going up.

Holes in Kerberos? Are you referring to Krb4 or Krb5?
If it's krb5, what holes are you referring to?

*poof*
Announcement.
Although they haven't linked to it yet
If you read the mail thread, you'll see that the mail headers were forged, and this message actually originated in Russia.
It was someone's joke, but not Linus's.

While Tivo's are PPC based linux boxes, I don't believe they'll be able to take advantage of these changes.
A quick search in google resulted in this.
It reports that the tivo uses a 50mhz embedded powerpc motherboard. Dosen't sound like G4 processor to me, which I believe is when Altivec was introduced.

The transparencies here are cool, but god is that background awful.
Heh.

Redhat released a planned beta.
The webpage denying the release is a play on the name, and the constant denial that anything happened at Roswell.
Never played around with framebuffer support, have ya ;)
I use Linux for development. I don't use it because I get a nice woody while doing so.
Hm.
Was that just a joke, or a reference to debian?
The way I usually dealt with that was to have two seperate XF86Config files, and symlink to the correct one during bootup.
The script selected the correct output based on a search to see if it's docked or not. I used lspci looking for the docking stations network card.
Of course, this 4.2.0 may fix this.. who knows?
OS 9 isn't that old.
Timewise, a better analogy would be someone running the early 2.4 series. Possibly a recent 2.2.

Windows XP Home is $199, not $99. $99 is the upgrade price, not the full price.
Pro is $299 I believe for the non-upgrade version.
I think he meant Phillips used to be, not Sony used to be. Sony definitly still is in the Music production industry.
I believe they meant that they don't ship 1.0 version releases that should have been beta tests.
In other words, they wait until the product is ready before they officially release it.
Interesting that their sales figures went down the year that they managed to shut napster down. When napster was around, and they were saying how it was eating into their revenue, their earnings were going up.
