Doesn't that mean that each individual client has a key to the one single file that is the single point of failure? So, getting a backup of even just a client would be a start to reversing the encryption
I'm sure I'm over simplifying this, but its a job requirement in the real world...
First off, I say this with no hostility or sarcasm, I am sorry that dyslexia has affected you or someone you know.
However, why should I as a user type Configuration instead of etc?
Feel free to write your own distro with aliases if you need to.
If you NEED long friendly names, most of the world has heard of an alternative OS called Windows. It prob even came preinstalled on your computer!
What you are asking is for the bloat to be removed, yet you insist that others suffer with the bloat of longer names that accomodate your disability.
This is equivalent to saying "No I don't just want every building to have wheelchair ramps, I want EVERYONE to have to cruise around in a wheelchair, just like me, damn it! Its just not fair!"
Are you TRYING to prove my point. IBM may dabble in Linux, but it is far from a Linux centered company. That MAY change, but I would be very surprised if their Linux ventures are not highly subsidized welfare cases at this point.
NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT. (grin)
Its time to move on guys-the term "hacker" has taken a derogatory turn, even if it is the media's fault.
I'm sure many years ago there where guys screaming about how they didn't want the term "gay" to lose its "happy" meaning. Too bad, it has Language evolves, just find something better to call yourselves, hack a new term and be ubergeeks, or emailreaders or something...
So now you guys can stop bitchin about all the machines that come preloaded with Windoze. You are a "licensed user" whether or not it has been formatted off of your machine.
It appears there is a plain text version, but maybe I'm then only one who has software (or *gasp* the ability) to make my own HTML version if I wished (which I do not)
Or was this just an excuse to take a popshot at the authors for not providing every single format that you might desire?
By the same logic used to say that "the internet is causing the energy shortage in Calif" you can conclude the following-
Car radios are the cause of air pollution.
The internet capabilities of the computers included in the figures are NOT the ONLY function these machines have. Ppl would still use the computers, no matter what Super Bowl advertisers would like you to think.
Can someone direct me to a RELIABLE source of all of those Bill Gates quotes "640k...", "Damn, Apple...". These quotes are EVERYWHERE, that doesn't prove they are truthful...
A webpage is not reliable, a webpage with notations for a book could be.
No ill-will intended here, just would like to use the power of/. to ease the screams in my head everytime I hear these quotes dropped as fact, not like I've done any research on this or anything
Toysmart did not "baltantly turned around and tried to sell it." they where trying NOT to sell it, but where being told it was an asset and being forced to sell it to pay of creditors.
This may be true, however it is contrary to the article (which acording to your post, I did not read very well *grin*)
Waltham, Mass.-based Toysmart.com assured its customers that their personal information would never be shared with a third party, but the company took out an advertisement in The Wall Street Journal to sell the database after going out of business last May.
I know of no LESS blatant way to sell something, whether forced to or not.
Please take time to read, information is easily misunderstood.
Appears that it can be...
Also the disgusting issue is not the courts allowing them to do it, its the courts FORCING them to do it. Big Difference.
Many e-commerce companies lacking the large inventories and capital of brick-and-mortar firms are finding their customer databases to be one of their few assets and may be required to sell off those databases to pay debts under bankruptcy laws.
The actions of the lawyers are to be expected: "What can we sell, what can we sell??"
The truly disgusting issue is that the courts would allow a company to do this. Toysmart clearly announced that this information would not be divulged, and blatantly turned around and tried to sell it.
This was not a victory, it was a close call that was saved by the fact that Disney was more worried about its rep than the money this would generate.
Won't be surprised when the next company in this situation has no rep to lose and sells its promises.
This site is still hosting, images and all...And its some little project too, not some mega-corp! If I can get straight to a site from Slashdot, I don't know what to do!
NOW GET IN THERE AND DO SOME SERIOUS SLASHDOTTING!!!
I repectfully disagree (New concept on Slashdot, I apologize for its introduction)
The US Supreme Court has essentially called the Fl. Supreme Court into its office and said-
"You screwed up. You made this up as the best that you could from what you were narrow-mindedly considering, but you kinda overlooked something as simple as Article II Section II of the Constitution. So publicly, we won't say that you were wrong. We will give you a chance to dig up something to justify your ruling, but until then youe decision is vacated (gone!)"

Which makes the plane shake
Which makes me MORE nervous...oh what vicious cycle!

Going the way of most Linux centered companies, no profit! (Yeah, yeah, I know IkkyIkkyPitangNiWoo Corp made ten bucks last year...)

Are other users experiencing this? Think Taco should do a front page post everytime /. goes down for equal treatment

According to posts on /.
-Your soul
-Your reputation as a REAL techie
-Unspeakable bedroom actions with Bill and friends
Now THERE'S a solid resolution! (grin) Not like you resolved to give up on porn or scifi flicks.
You're in trouble when Pam Anderson and Nikki Cox decide to do a lez scene in "Flipper's Revenge: The Tuna Industry Gets Canned" tho

IF they were FORCED I agree completely.

Yes, Your Honor, She said "NO!" to all my come-ons.
But most of the other girls I have asked have said YES, so her answer MUST have been an error.
So I just put her in line with the rest of the community...and well, you know
AOL Messaging!!
Masterb8r@aol.com-What are you wearing?
Hakr-A ripped t-shirt with java stains and a pair of khaki shorts I haven't change in eight days.
Masterb8r@aol.com-Sexy. What are you into S&M?
Hakr-I haven't heard of that distro before...
Masterb8r@aol.com-Sexy-Are you D&D?
Hakr-I love D&D!!
