    Search for a keyguard. It's a plate that goes over a normal keyboard that has holes in it. It allows the user to hook their finger in the right hole for a key and then apply pressure to press that key. Simple and effective.

    And this is new and shocking, how?

    from linux/Documentation/Configure.help:


    CONFIG_KHTTPD
    The kernel httpd acceleration daemon (kHTTPd) is a (limited) web
    server built into the kernel. It is limited since it can only serve
    files from the file system and cannot deal with executable content
    such as CGI scripts. Serving files is sped up if you use kHTTPd.
    If kHTTPd is not able to fulfill a request, it can transparently
    pass it through to a user space web server such as apache.


    Sure you could leave it out, but it is there.

  5. Re:What exactly is ITC/Afga's complaint based on? on Adobe Gets Hit By DMCA · · Score: 3, Informative

    The complaint could be related to how Acrobat handles the embedding bits in truetype fonts.

    According to Adobe they have secured the rights for their customers to embed fonts from certain companies. Now what if the customer has a copy of the font which has the "do not embed under any circumstances" bits set? Simple, Acrobat can ignore the bits and embed the font anyway. Oops, that's circumventing a copy protection measure, instant DMCA violation.

    If that's the case, Agfa has pressed this issue before: see Font Company Wielding DMCA Against Bit-Flipping

    Of course, there's not enough info in the article to determine if this is the case or not...
