Dealing with spam is inconvenient, too. Get over it.
It sounds heartless, but spam is rapidly making email unusable. For example, I'm now getting so many false mailer-daemon reject messages (from trojans/spam with my domain in the From address) that I just delete them all. If 99.9% (say) of the mail I get from APNIC netblocks is spam, I don't care if I inconvenience the senders of the 0.1% a little bit.
Please, read the link before you post. Chances are *not* that the scammer used a stolen credit card.
The "payment" for the P-P-P-Powerbook was a fake escrow site. It seems the scammer spent a few hundred GBP of his own money to release the package from customs, and a bunch of SomethingAweful goons put up the money for the FedEx shipment in the first place. But no innocent person is out any money.
This is the reason I couldn't figure out why the bad guys on 24 worked to decrease the incubation period of their virus. Maybe it seems scarier at first until you actually give it some thought.
... the act of reproducing all or any substantial part of... a musical work embodied in a sound recording... onto an audio recording medium for the private use of the person who makes the copy does not constitute an infringement of the copyright in the musical work, the performer's performance or the sound recording.
Not only do you have to install it, but before it will do anything it gives a description of what it does, and then asks if you want to participate, with a default of no.
You can have your system anonymously e-mail the Debian developers with statistics about your most used Debian packages.
This information helps us make decisions such as which packages should go on the first Debian CD. Also, we can improve future versions of Debian so that the most popular packages are the ones which are installed automatically for new users.
If you choose to participate, the automatic submission script will run once every week automatically, e-mailing statistics to the Debian developers.
You can always change your mind after making this decision: "dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest"
Of course the unfortunate thing is if this case is as you suggest, it may just have merit. And if SCO wins in court or AutoZone settles, does anyone think the press will note the distinction? I can see a headline of "SCO wins suit against company for using Linux."
One of my friends had some trouble with his underground power connection. The utility inspected it while he was at work, and phoned him and told him they'd need to jumper his neighbour's power. When you're used to jumpers being little plastic caps that go over.1" spacing header pins, it's a little bit of a shock to come home and see a trio of 1/2" wires coming out of your meter, tied to the fence, and then running into the neighbour's.
This technique of using the field from high voltage transmission lines has reportedly been used by farmers to power lights in a barn or electrify a fence as this anecdote suggests. The power utilities supposedly have gone after those using the "free" power. I'm not sure how truthful any of these stories are though.
Also, check out some of his other art. "A rotating, pulsating, elevating, sound and movement activated, life-size neon brain." Now that's just strange.
Although Certicom does have some links to the NSA, they're a Canadian company and it's unlikely they're doing the NSA's recruiting. This is much more like the RSA challenges.
Much more relevant is Schneier's Essay on Certicom and ECC. Note though that this isn't your typical doghouse style "crack our code for $1 MEELEEON dollars" contest with fine print that says you have to do it in three days on a Commodore 64. It's a fair contest for a "real" algorithm. Anyone who completes any of the sub-contests is (a) not in it for the money and (b) unlikely to be a generic Slashdot hacker.
By the way this is Schneier's recommendation on ECC:
My recommendation is that if you're working in a constrained environment where longer keys just won't fit -- smart cards, some cellphones or pagers, etc. -- consider elliptic curves. If the choice is elliptic curves or no public-key algorithm at all, use elliptic curves. If you don't have performance constraints, use RSA. If you are concerned about security over the decades (almost no systems are), use RSA.

The white light is so that when you run a red light and a cop around the corner catches you, you can't say in court "the cop couldn't have seen that my light was red."
Some Google searching turned up a thread discussing this, and as suggested there I replaced -lpthread with -pthread in the Makefile. It built fine after that.
Yep, I goofed. Either way my point was that the Euro and USD are roughly equivalent, so some joke about the (low) value of the Euro was neither relevant nor funny. As it turns out, the original joke seems all the more foolish with the Euro greater than the US dollar.
Dude, calm down. As mentioned in the fucking article, just before the text you quoted:
Here are a few answers to questions that have been raised in the Slashdot forums:
It's clear the author of the benchmarks is reading the slashdot comments and updating the article with some of the questions posed here. It's not fair to blast someone for asking something that is now in the fucking article when it is quite possibly their question that's answered!
SCO's page for their city tour doesn't mention HP. It says it's sponsored by "Microlite." Perhaps it's the same as the SCO Forum -- maybe HP forgot about their association with this event and when they were reminded about it they told SCO that HP wanted nothing to do with them.
