The BSD license is pretty beautiful, if you are MS and you need a TCP/IP stack to steal.
I think it's great that Microsoft can and does use the BSD stack. At least now they are using something that is well designed and follows the RFCs to the letter. Anything cooked up and "optimized" by M$ themselves would in all likelyhood have brought down the Internet in a catastrophic congestion collapse.
In 1959, physics icon Richard Feynman predicted that all the words written in the history of the world could be contained in a cube of material one two-hundredths of an inch wide.
And then we'd need a new search engine just to find the damn thing.
Fortunately, the text would probably be stored in the innovative MS Word format, which guarantees that the physical size of the required storage capacity will remain constant over time, no matter what the information density of the storage medium.
It all comes down to a reluctance to fiddle with the knob everybody else touches after wiping their backsides and before washing their hands.
Of course, remote flushing does nothing to shelter you from the flush-resistant sticky bits left by the previous occupant that are persistently clinging to the edges of the bowl. And you still have to sit on the bit everybody else sits on, or develop some serious acrobatic skills.
Lol, I guess that whole anonymous thing kinda went out the window...
Yes, I can just picture it. LW is probably already on the horn, loudly demanding the cops to get off their fat asses and go put The Imperial Tacohead behind bars right this minute.
Err. Click.

If God doesn't want to be found, then she won't be.
True, assuming you believe that God is omnipotent. The real question is, what are its motives and why does it hide? I naturally mistrust anything with that much power.
...but if you want decent Linux support buy a Matrox. Matrox may not be the fastest in 3D but it's no dog either, and you get unbeatable image quality. They also give you full programming manuals and source code for the Linux drivers.
Look, all you need is a wheel barrow, 50 pounds of ballast, some optics, a couple of Bluetooth modules or wireless LAN cards, a few other odds and ends, and you can hack together a bloody big mouse that you can push around your basement. Much cooler, geekier, and totally free of insectoid interference.
But that doesn't solve the problem that this is aimed to solve, which is either the laptop is stolen while on (and therefore decrypted) or the user walks away from the machine (leaving it decrypted).
Many of the current solutions work like screen savers. If there's no activity for a while everything gets decrypted. The RFID solution is just a little better in that it narrows the time window during which the owner is absent and part of the data is still in decrypted state.
the potential exploits involving a detatched body part returning are rather disturbing...
Actually, if there is a detached body part involved, it usually doesn't matter whether the key is stored in the aforementioned body part or the user's head. Unless, of course, you have been trained by the very best...;-)
Slashdot Mirror
It's not peer-to-peer. They call it a digital store cupboard. A professional would just call it a file server and yawn. The paradigm is client-server.
Mozilla Rising ... As A Platform
You mean, like an elevator? Come back to Earth and just make it faster. Mozilla is bloated enough as it is.
Not only were they told not to fix it, they were told to make it impossible to fix.
D-oh!
Well, it seems to be running an older version of OpenSSH, known to have some vulnerabilities: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.2.3p1
;-)
Anybody want to have a go at it?

First officer (staring intently through the view finder): "Captain, I think we may have a slight problem."
Captain: "What is it?"
First officer (in a strangely strangled voice): "I think you had better see for yourself."
Captain (taking over the view finder): "What the hell is THAT? Is that thing trying to...?"
First officer (face now twitching almost uncontrollably): "I believe so, sir."
Captain: "But... It's humping my..."
First officer (gasping for breath): "Some of us like our bitches big, sir."
Captain (dazed): "My mission..."
First officer (now laughing outright): "We could always abort, sir."
Bacillophobia, misophobia, molysmophobia, spermatophobia, ...

Better just hold it in.
The whole point is that the products of a non-kosher animal must not enter your body. This obviously includes eating, but also applies to transplants.
If I had a heart transplant from a pig, would I qualify as a non-kosher animal?

Now that they have access to all the porn they want, they will have no reason to go out and meet people.

Apparently, Bill is the one person with the vote.
We didn't fully understand the consequences of releasing software under the GPL (General Public License),'
NSA probably figured out that terrorists have the right to create a derived work without the NSA backdoor as long as they distribute the source code.
How do you write with chalk at 1500ft?
The same way pigeons do it?

I hear there's a strong grass roots movement against it.
You can disable SSL in the advanced options menu. ;-)

A joke about geeks and girl friends is trying very hard to force itself through my teeth but I'm fighting it.

Sigh. I meant encrypted, of course.

And the fact remains that encrypting the disk limits the financial risks to the price of the laptop.
If it isn't a part of the hard drive it's self then it is 100% worthless..
Not true. If the decryption key is stored on the device worn by the user it doesn't matter which way you wire the receiver.
