(number of server compromises you hear about) = (number of servers in existence) * (relative vulnerability of servers) * (willingness of those running servers to reveal compromises)
That has to be the most rediculous math I have ever seen. Please, in the future, proofread your posts before you submit them:)
Erm, I don't know what world you live in, but in my world, it's very common to see streaming MPEG2. Look at the little logo on the front of your Bell ExpressVu satellite receiver sometime.
I just managed to get this working. I rebooted my mac, ran Disk Utility, did a 'verify' then 'repair' on the image, then mounted the image through Disk Utility. Worked like a charm.
Hopefully this will help others who are experiencing the corrupted.dmg problems on Panther.
I get the same error on 10.3.2 with a version I downloaded from two different websites yesterday. Tried uncompressing with both StuffIt Expander and bunzip2, with no luck.
Funny.. a few years back I had an HFC line at my house -- 10Mbit up / 10Mbit down, for $39.95 CDN/month from my telco. They sent out an email talking about how they were "upgrading" the service to ADSL. I held off for months before they finally got ahold of me, cut off my HFC service, and installed an ADSL line. I now pay $42.95/month for a PPPoE-managed 1.5Mbit/640Kbit line. I wasn't pleased.
Was just looking at Fido's coverage -- doesn't look like they have any digital coverage in Atlantic Canada. Furthermore, my GSM Palm Tungsten/W won't work on their network. Looks like I'm stuck with Rogers/AT&T for now:(
Funny you should bring this up -- I just got my cell phone bill in the mail this morning, and on my $20 CDN/month GPRS plan (1.5MB) through Rogers/AT&T, I had a $16 roaming charge for doing 560KB worth of transfers in the US.
I'm left with no choice but to cancel my GPRS service -- the only time it's ever useful is when I'm out of town, but the roaming charges are too high for me to think about doing the roaming GPRS thing again.
Could be -- I've been trying to get a 15" PB G4 for the past few weeks (since an unfortunate water accident destroyed my 14" iBook), and the local Apple reseller keeps telling me that they're out of stock, everywhere. We'll see how it plays out in the next few weeks, I guess.
The FreeBSD kernel in the screenshot will be contaminated by GPL and it's viral properties, which means it cannot be used without abiding by the terms of the GPL.
Minor nitpick -- the kernel can still be used without accepting the GPL, it just can't be redistributed.
It is time for MS to immediately change the default shipping configuration of XP to turn every service off by default because no desktop should be listening on any tcp by default.
Not sure about Longhorn, but I know with Windows Server 2003, damn near _everything_ (including the sound service) is disabled by default. Hopefully they continue to follow the same trend with their consumer desktop releases.
Applications like iTunes use Apple's own graphics libraries, not standard X libraries, so porting would be a lot more effort than you might think.
It'd be interesting, however, to see if something like iTunes would easily build against GNUstep. It'd be great if the GNUstep libraries were up to snuff -- unfortunately, I can't see Apple going for this. It's just plain too ugly(tm), and would make them look bad releasing a half-assed product.
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a port using GNUstep, or even for Apple to port Carbon/Cocoa to Linux. Why would people buy Apple computers if the same applications with all of their lickable eye-candy is available on a free operating system running on commodity hardware?
Pardon my ignorance, but I would have thought that the majority of the cost would have been the _giant fncking metal tower_, not the computer in the baby barn beside it. Does anybody have a ballpark of the cost of the equipment used to run one of these things?
Welp, looks like the DBus project page has been compromised -- visiting it contains a link saying 'This file has moved here', the 'here' linking to goatse.cx. Anybody have a mirror of their site?
Not true. The sommerfeld_i386mp branch (is that the name?) contains SMP support for i386 (and has for quite a while now).

If a security problem is found in a function that would be found in libc, it is a hell of a lot easier to upgrade libc than to upgrade every single piece of software on your system.

So if you're on the same physical/logical subnet with no routing required between machines, the exploit is possible.
It is, however, possible for a router to forward DHCP requests to a server on a completely different subnet...
Erm, I'm pretty sure that clone() isn't a POSIX thing, rather a Linux-ism.
Remember, Sun was allegedly one of SCO's other investors as well...
Could that mean my precious G5 PB is coming?

How about the bug that exists in most G4 powerbooks, where changing the volume level too quickly under "heavy load" causes the balance to shift?
Ah! So it wasn't just me! FWIW, the same problem exists on the iBooks (at least mine, with 'snapper' audio).
My company doesn't censor my content for me at all. No sir. Everything is peachy here. All hail the company.

Also, the french verb 'voler' means 'to steal'.
Surely you're not trying to say that there is only one asshole in every 7 people.
I can't believe nobody got this joke! "Insightful"? oyenstikker is saying that everybody _has_ an asshole!

Nah, they meant "high density". It's a movie about Jon Katz.
