Well, it works on Galeon, which is based on the Mozilla engine. I don't know why it would no work on Mozilla too. Ah, Galeon does have that JavaOn/Off button.
There is a singular (AFAIK) fact about most telemarketers here in Brazil, which makes most telemarketing calls very interesting for me. You see, most of the times, when you say you are not interested, they ask if you would like to give that wonderfull oportunity to a friend (giving your friend phone number to the telemarketer). Well, guess what ? I always have a list of "friends" to give them.:-)
Actually, I too live in Brazil. And receives a lot of spam. From my personal experience, most Brazilians ISP do act agains spammers. I for myself have managed to have dozens of spammers have thier accounts closed, and even a few that got charged by their ISPs. The most sensible exception is UOL (one of the largest ISPs, but which fortunately generated very little spam). SPAMs from Brazil accounts for about 15% of all the SPAM I get. In any case, if I had the time, I think I could sue the spammers here, for taking advantage of a service which I pay for (my internet connection), and I think I could win. So, don't think everything is helpless here. Just get a good lawyer, and talk to him about the things you can do.
Let me first warn you that black holes are not my area of study, and I can be speaking nonsense. If I do, I would be pleased if someone would explain to me why it is so.
That being said, I don't see how that can happen. First, all blackholes are small. Their density is finite, so their size zero (as I can see no way it can have infinite matter, the only explanation is that it's size it zero, so we have a singularity). Keeping that (which can be a wrong assumption on my part) in mind, one the singularity state is obtained, the blackhole feeds on itself (and everything else near enough), so they could not disapear, unless we have some internal event occurs.
All that being said, call me a skeptic, but a seriously don't believe they created a blackhole on a lab.
There is no point of comparision between regular filesystens, and journaled ones. It's not a matter of Win x Linux. I would not dare pull the power cord of a ext2 based computer, but I would do it on a ext3 based one. And what is ext3 besides adding journaling capabilities to ext2 ?
You see, journaling filesystems are all slower than regular ones. Of course, I new developted journaled fs tends to be faster the a filesystem developed 20 years ago (usualy).
On the other hand, it's still possible to lose data on a journaled fs. Not as likely as in a regular one, so don't trust it too much. It's the worst thing you can do.
People can hide via email, but by phone it's much harder.
Harder ? Yes. Much harder ? No.
You see, there are lots of ways you can hide via phone. Wiretapping(?) some imediatly into my mind. I can also thing of at least 5 or 6 other ways, which I'll not go into details for obvious reasons.
If I can say it, don't even trust if you meet the seller in person, in his house.
This have been said again and again here. Always have some kind of issurance. My car have extra locks and a very good alarm system. Still, I have it issured.
No, your are wrong. The DCMA refers to the breaking of copyright. If it's encrypted or not, is another issue. You see, using this card, you can handle the data in a "non authorized way" that can lead to copyright violations (ie: piracy). So, yes. The DCMA does apply. And yes, I too thing that the DCMA is a stupid law, which punishes both the guilty and inocent. As I have often hear, treating the different in the same way is not democracy, it's stupidity.
One peace of advice from someone that got himself in so much trouble, so many times.
NEVER, and I repeat, NEVER do anything without a lawyer by your side.
Never sign a contract (my lawyer analysed by Cable access contract, and saved me a lot of trouble).
And Never, trice never, give access to your property.
You see, once they got access to the stuff without any restrictive clause, they can ask and even, if they have a good lawyer, gain the rights to part of the IP.
Always have contracts. Be it in the form of a software license (I use GPL, so I don't have problems with IP), or any other form you like.
And yes, they have the right to ask for a pice of the cake. But if they will get it, thats another matter entirely. But they can have a case agains you, and even if they don't win, they will cause you much trouble.
When dealing with lawyer, always remember that if you don't use them to be on the safe side, you will have to use them on the sorry side.
And yes, IANAL either. But lawyers saved my butt so many times, and I have to shamefully grant that I came to respect them.
Not only that.
This kind of study don't see what is Linux, and what is agregated software. They say Linux and Windows, but I'm sure they don't include IIS.
In any case, impact and severity must also be taken into account. Most Windows bugs are remotely exploitable, and give full control of the machine. Most linux bugs are only localy exploitable, or only leak information.
It's very easy to say that car acidents happen more often then plain crashes. Anyone cares to count the casualities ? Well, I'm not sure this is a good example, once car acidents casuality numbers are, AFAIK, higher, but I think you get what I mean.
Thats what clustering, and load balancing offers - total redundancy.
There is no such thing as total redundancy. Thats a plain fact.
Even if you have load balancing and a huge cluster, you still don't have it.
Add to it: autonomous energy system (generators), separated networks and access points, and you still don't have it.
At IBM, our contingency plan took even nuclear wars in consideration. And even with that, we didn't have total reduncance, the same way our systems were not 100% secure.
I think the lesson here is the same regarding security: a false sense of security is the worst security problem you can have.
One thing most people fail do undestand is that Linux is Linus's Project. He own the copyright.
Yes, I know it's opensource/free software, which only means that if someone does not agree the way Linus does thing, he can fork the project and do whatever he wants with it.
Actualy, this is was most distrubutions have been doing for as long as I can remember.
Okey, if you disagree, you can talk to Linus. But it's his call.
Ranting about it is just childish.

Which is pretty easy to do. Just add to your headers:
X-Message-Flag: This message would be readable if you used any other email client than Microsoft's. For a list of good clients, some of which are free, visit *url to Download.com or something*.
Okey, this is redundant, but you have to draw a line somewhere.
One thing I would suggests (and you won't like) it that you keep all CC data on a removible media, that only gets inserted (manualy or otherwise) when you have to send it to the billing company. I suggest that you make this process manual, so you can keep an eye on things why doing the delivery.
Okey, this is arcaic, but it's a good security measure. Just be sure all data goes encrypted, and that the media where you stored it is well protected.
I don't know if this is the case but, at least where I work (and the pleaces I worked before), comments does not count as "lines of code".
You see, it's pretty easy to make a scripts that removes all empty lines and comment-only lines, as well as lines which are only block opening/closing statments ({} in C).
So, I would prefer to give them the benefit of doubt, and consider they counted the lines of code the right way.

Lets get things straight here.

Any impact on DSA, as used by ssh and GnuPG ?

Nonsense.
The result of a simple query for "SEC" will be of no use. Just check these domains and you will find out.
And no, none of these (except mcwhortle.com) are the ones we are looking for.
I already have it. It's my e-mail mailbox.
No matter how much spam I delete, it keeps refilling itself.
Anyone who operates in as many countries as IBM does.

The author, if you are refering to me, meant "Free" and in Free Speach. Exactly the definition FSF uses.
