I've always been a bit suspicious of threads, even the latest and greatest kernel threads. Is there someone who can speak to the wisdom and tradeoffs in doing this? I like my fu^Horking apache just the way it is. Programming threads is also hard. What about all of the cool API stuff and plugins, I suppose they all have to be rewritten? Mod_rewrite, mod_perl, etc, etc, yes?
Anything "they" learn would never make it into court. If the public is asking for protection then they should probably be interested in what a terrorism suspect would communicate to the outside world, at this time. Even if done so through his/her lawyer.
Like ssh-agent, this chip seems to be secure keyholder. It is a little unnerving that an hardware implementation could be so easily broken, but I also suspect that, unlike ssh-agent, this was not ever an open-source implementation.:-)
The news (I liked Real links) claims that development took 20 years, and that normal banking procedures would prevent this type of attack. But Alan Cox, of course, strongly suggests that publishing the algorithm behind the chip would have helped to avoid this calamity.
These cards may or may not work, but perhaps more interesting question is, how is my data (which is attached to the card, but stored in Oracle:-), including credit data, medical data, and even my address and phone number, to be stored? As long as my data is encrypted in the database, and I control the ONLY key (builtin to the card), I might be cool with that. Then I can use the card to decrypt, sign and re-encrypt my data, selectively, to whoever I wish to give it to.
I think I am more comfortable with this than with my data sitting unencrypted, on some doctor's PC somewhere. Otoh, can you imagine teaching a whole nation how to create and use pincodes longer than four digits? Scary.
Perhaps Euros will grow understand this better as the EU grows. Once your passport is not required most everywhere you go, you might begin to like the feeling of acceptance, everywhere you go. And you might even grow to dislike when someone questions you about what "state" you belong to. Privacy is not just about protection, it's also about acceptance.
Although it's been questioned alot lately, with the new legislation coming out of my country, (Who would think of a 99-1 vote, after our elections?) Americans still expect privacy. As open and friendly as we have always been, we reserve the right to our privacy, both in business and in our relationship to our government. And we consider privacy a building block of our liberty and freedom.
Therefore, any identification process or device which we dont willingly submit to, and choose to give or receive, we instinctively distrust. You might hear talk of Social Security numbers. We all have one, but many of us refuse to give it out, as is often unquestioningly done with identification numbers in Europe.
But it's more than that. Consider how identification records, so immaculately kept by the Dutch (say), affected the subjugation and subsequent roundups which were carried out by the nazi regime. It's always a risk to give information about yourself, especially when it will be permanently stored, and regularly updated.
Shit, most americans dont even like filling in our tax forms. Much less the multitude of annual surveys which many Euro coutries send out to willing citizens. It's scary to us!:-)
Note - To be fair, the Dutch have proposed encryption of personal data in the national records with keys kept by the person who actually owns the data. This is good, but escrow access could still be a problem.
It's minimalist although the company was recently sold, and it seems to be growing in alliances with other vendors. Especially good for beginners, imho. The recent integration with CodeWright makes it very flexible for the advanced user as well.
Lately, I've also tried using ctags(1), with the newer options for parsing java code:
$ ctags --lang=java
then combining the tag files with Vim(1) using Vim's syntax highlighting and the tags to hop around. ctags and vim dont really give you a visual class browser... but they're free.
It is the songwriters' and the artists' and the producers and the record company' s job to create that music
This is an interesting perspective. Although I haven't known many artists (or writers), the few that I have known would not consider making music a "job", just like many/. readers don't consider working with tech a "job".
Good music comes mostly from passion and dedication to the craft. And I suspect nearly all musicians are attracted to the idea of an instant worldwide audience via swapping of their art. If Michelangelo were alive today, wouldn't he want there to be photography allowed in the Sistine Chapel?
I've heard there have been some, um, anomalies in the flocks. Are they growing wool again? How about the lamb-meat? Is it still tender and juicy from the prolonged basting?:-)
Earth may have been hit by a shower of large meteors at about the same time.
Wonder what kind of dust such an impact would have kicked up? Red sky at night? Global winter? Is there corroboration of this event in any historical documents?
Hey, sure, I like money, but on the other hand I'm a programmer, I will get paid.
In Scandanavia, everyone gets paid.:-)
But his clever dance around the Edison/Rockefeller insinuation (same topic), along with his other responses, infers his steady practice of english and a good grasp on current politics. Even with the interviewer trying repeatedly to put words in his mouth, he held his own nicely.
Here's hoping this fellow continues to extend his US visa.
Defendant Andrew Bunner shall recover his appellate costs
Did anyone ever really doubt the 6th district? I mean, aren't those honors from Berkeley, mostly?
Seriously, all this chatter and breathing of sighs of relief is a little embarassing. Expect the best from your justice system. And dont be so surprized when you get it. This is still America.
Slackware made the transition from SunOS 1 to Linux a bit easier. Although it still really hurt. But hey, at least I got a usable compiler with slackware and linux, unlike the "other" upgrade path from SunOS 1.:-/
The Norwegians really like their bridges. And tunnels. They are masters of tunnel building. And one of the first things I noticed when driving cross-country here was the plethora of bridge designs. They seem to have tried a little of everything, its pretty cool to see.
Hats off to the norwegians for cool engineering and no fear of new (and old) designs.
Now, if someone could tell me please, when do they close the fjords at night?
I wish I could get more anxious about it. I was a neophyte and advocate at the 4->5 transition, but alot has changed since then.
use whine qw(toobusy twokids codetooscarylookin);
Perhaps the lights are just too bright in the new perl world. Especially for the dimmer bulbs among perl lovers, like me. heh. All-nighters are getting harder and harder to pull, even to learn new fun cool Good Stuff (tm).
But more power to 'em. I just hope it's not some respectability thing thats drivin' this.
The lack of participation in this thread seems to answer that question.
Manuals, tech books, websites, and much other info I can handle (although I still regularly print out long tech docs), but novels? I dont think I could ever get used to it. Perhaps the next generation will like 'em.
Perhaps these SafeSurf folks represent victims of child porn? If so, then they need some additional help in refining their wording.
Some feedback might help them to see how to channel their anger and fear into something pass-able. But it's got to be more explicit than this, uh, clearly.
Lets give it a break for a night, and see how it feels. Toilet papering someones house is still probably OK, I would hope. But, and as always, only when the candy is not forthcoming.

Sigh, now if I just had a real printer. Some of this stuff is definitely frame-worthy.
Aak, bad link. Sorry. Kawa is here. I actually wasn't gonna even give a link. But since I gave it wrong, I'll fix it.

- How well you entertained the current ICANN board members when they visited your town or place of business
- How many of the children of the board members you offered free scholarships
- How many free vacations, car rentals, plane fares, etc you offered to the current board members.
After decades of decadence, we can even demand that they reform. Just like the IOC!You know those checks won't be arriving in discrete, brown envelopes, either.

I guess profitability from day one is a plus too.
This is encouraging. And it's good ol' C code... Killer apps still use pointers!

They've hired a power lawyer to get more for all their trouble. We can expect them to contest this settlement, in it's current form, I think.
