Well, it looks like you also have one thing missed. Personally, I use wxWindows through python. To deploy, I compile everything to a windows native executable, which automatically comes with the necessary DLL's (http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/). Also, for wxWindows, you can statically compile your programs, and then compress the executable, with upx (http://upx.sf.net), which by experience reduces the sizes of the.exe more than 50%.
...and for the modest amount of $698 (you save $1!!) you'll get a binary copy of the kernel with the code in dispute removed and replaced. Unfortunately I cannot show you the removed code as per SCO's request. I can do it only after SCO reveals it to the public. GET YOU SCO CHEAP BINARY KERNELS WHILE YOU CAN!!!
I don't know if this is entirely true. This attack is based on Vaudenay's attack to block ciphers using padding on CBC. There was a paper on Usenix '02 which showed that stream ciphers (like RC4) can also be vulnerable to a similar attacks under certain conditions, so I don't think is as easy as just changing algorithms.
At least it was Wired who did it and not a real hacker with malicious intentions. If they hadn't done this, this story might have not made it to slashdot and you would never know that you NEED to change your default password.
It is hard to admit it, but when the mono team gets windows forms working correctly, C# and.NET are going to pick up a great deal of momentum, specially in the cross-platform GUI development area.
Now that the Blender Foundation have collected all the money (100k.. wow) to buy the blender source from NaN, they will be releasing the source under the GPL very soon (paid members pre-release due tomorrow).
Blender is a full fledged 3d program with some animation capabilities. Maybe looking at their design will give you some good ideas.
(...)These networks are becoming common in airports, universities, coffee houses, businesses, homes and even some public squares. But they are sold with no security measures (...) Actually, most vendors advertise WEP as a security mechanism for these wireless networks, but as we all know, it is pretty much useless. I wonder if the writers of the article wrote the above statement knowing this fact, or if they just got lucky.
After all the bad propaganda that commercial peer to peer software has gotten, I've learned to never trust it. Anti-spyware software is not enough, you never know what will they come up with next, that is why I run Kazaa on a safe sandbox. I have a vmware session with win98 whose only purpose is to run Kazaa or other programs that might be suspicious. That way I can take advantage of the service provided, while being sure that my main OS is clean (or at least cleaner).
AES is the best we've got now and is definitely better than RC4. Until all wireless connections use it... you had better keep your communication wrapped in ssh tunnels or IPsec VPNs.
While I agree that AES is better than RC4, the algorithm is not the weakness of WEP. Is the way the designers used it. It would have been great if the people that created the system really knew what they were doing.
And if you read at the end of the page, they also give credit to CDex, saying:

Although the review seems pretty interesting, don't you think that it might be a little biased? He is doing a talk on a conference lead by Lance Spitzner pretty soon. (Look for COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE IN INTERNET SECURITY: HONEYPOT BEST PRACTICES)
Even with no IP address given by dhcp, I think it would be possible to sniff traffic via ARP poisoning.
You don't need an IP to send ethernet packets (which is where ARP lives).
Stellarium is an impressive piece of free software for Linux and Windoze that renders the sky at any given time given your coordinates.
I bet it will make it much easier for the untrained people to find the asteroid in the sky (considering its trayectory.
If anything, US engineers having to "fight" for jobs is a "good thing". If US citizens get competition, they are going to feel obligated to raise their skills in order to get an IT job. As a software user, this finally translates into better products.
I think slashdot has discovered a mozilla bug. Everytime i click on the "out of legos" link, my Mozilla(1.0) crashes!...Or maybe there is a new weapon against the/. effect!
WEP is easily broken. There are several tools that make war driver's life really easy.
I would set up the wireless network ouside a firewall, and then probably hook up a couple of machines with FreeSWAN or poptop (linux vpn servers) that will connect to the access points.
See this paper for a good discussion on wireless security.
Stream ciphers are a symmetric encryption scheme which try to emulate a one-time pad by generating random bits given a certain key. The _only_ difference with these people's algorithm and stream ciphers is that the "equations" used to generate the random bitstream on stream ciphers are open, and have been tested by a large community of cryptanalists. In the case of this new scheme, only a handful of people BELIEVE that their equations are unbreakable.
Seriously I don't see the problem with this. If SO6 costs money then Mandrake should not just give it away for 5 bucks. What they should do is give the SO6 download to all the mandrake club members that _already_ signed up previous to the controversial decision. That way, the don't betray or lie to anyone, old members and members to come.
Well, although in my opinion, open source music software is not as mature as the windoze counterpart, we still have some really good representation.
SpiralSynth is becoming an almost self contained music production program. With basic sequencers, good synths, samplers and effects is one of my favorite programs.
If you want to play DJ, go check TerminatorX to get fill all your scratching needs. They even hacked a turntable that works with the program!!
Finally, for some real-time guitar effects, check Stompboxes2 , which is my own project. (BTW, i'm looking for developers).
The day that we have a fully functional program that is as good as Buzz or Orion, I'll be a happy man and I'll have to reboot my machine less often.
I own a Diva player, which is an excellent unit. It even acts as a voice recorder too!!, besides it is the smallest player that takes CompactFlash. The only problem is that is does not accept CFII, therefore, no Microdrive compatibility, but at $69.99 (with 32megs built-in) this is a hell of a deal.
I would love be 100% Linux user but again sometimes it's not you who decides what os runs on your machine.
Comments like that make me really sad. If you don't make the decision to make a change yourself, then no one will do it for you. Come on... take the initiative and do something new.
