The/etc/passwd file also contains information like user ID's and group ID's that are used by many system programs. Therefore, the/etc/passwd file must remain world readable. If you were to change the/etc/passwd file so that nobody can read it, the first thing that you would notice is that the ls -l command now displays user ID's instead of names!
The Shadow Suite solves the problem by relocating the passwords to another file (usually/etc/shadow). The/etc/shadow file is set so that it cannot be read by just anyone. Only root will be able to read and write to the/etc/shadow file. Some programs (like xlock) don't need to be able to change passwords, they only need to be able to verify them. These programs can either be run suid root or you can set up a group shadow that is allowed read only access to the/etc/shadow file. Then the program can be run sgid shadow.
By moving the passwords to the/etc/shadow file, we are effectively keeping the attacker from having access to the encoded passwords with which to perform a dictionary attack.
The catch: I have to drive 14 hours from PA to NH without any kind of reimbursement, and frankly it's unlikely I'll get the job anyway. Would you be willing to go to an interview w/o reimbursement, for a temporary 6-9 month job?
I would drive a few hours, but not that far. Not for a temp job, and not unless it was a pretty sure thing. How temporary is it? What can they do in person that they couldn't do over the phone? If it's for some kind of testing, work with them to find a local or online business. Otherwise, unless it's a very well paying job, tell them that you would rather handle things over the phone.
So, essentially your reasoning is that it would be ludicrous for somebody to be offended by a simple, holiday-related sentiment offered in good spirit? Or at least, they shouldn't be nearly as offended by yours as you are by theirs?
Adding to this, I think the crux of that case was that the promoter sent the CDs unsolicited through the postal service. The law, more or less, is that if you receive something in the mail unsolicited, it's yours to do want you want with, regardless of any sort of license or contract that comes with it. In order for terms to be enforceable, they have to be agreed upon before delivery.
In the eBay case, this was essential; as far as the court was concerned, the seller had auctioned up a regular CD, and the promotional no-resell terms were unenforceable because the CD was unsolicited.
It was like Slashdot, with less posts. However, the stories were generally much longer, more in-depth, and more technical. The posts were, for the most part, also more technical and in-depth. Bruce was involved heavily in most discussions, which was nice.
However, the discussions generally didn't have too many people involved, and so it was exceedingly easy for trolls to derail the conversation. The S:N wasn't very good.
It's unfortunate, because it was a good site. It just didn't have the popular appeal to reach critical mass.
In the beginning there was the word, and the word was assembly. It is the basis of every other language. No other is so pure, so simple, and yet at the same time so complex.
If your original assembly disagrees with my C, then the assembly is wrong!

Thanks; this amused and enlightened me.

Is this some obscure pun, or is this like how I said "for all intensive purposes" until I was 15?
Civil servants.
If true, that is beautiful. Do you have a link?
"UK Judge Grants Extradition Review To Caucasian Gary McKinnon" would be a less offensive headline.
Wikipedia does it by democracy, basically.
Wikipedia is not a democracy.

Dammit, I was so sure it was Colonel Mustard.
The father wasn't killed, unless he's succumbed to his wounds since my last reading. The mother is dead though.

not breathing hasn't been the criteria for "death" since the Middle Ages.
Tell that to Cass Elliot.
Would they even be able to use evidence gathered from an account that was accessible by many people, including the investigators?
More and more!

Pedobear is in your childrens school, reading their email/chat and downloading their photos? :P
Macbooks have a built-in webcam, so maybe.

The question is - can you expect a random HDD to fire up after sitting in storage for x years (x being larger than 2 or 3)?
To be fair, that hard drive should get a little time powered up when he syncs. (Hopefully, that would be more often than every 2 or 3 years.)
How long does a HDD have to run to reset the stiction clock?
Accidentally what?
You're right, the paperwork must have gotten mixed up. Jerry Tuttle is a known terrorist. We'll send Mr. Taylor's widow a bill for his processing.
It's interesting that some of her statements are not strictly inaccurate. I might even say enlightened, without the enlightenment.
Of course without Enlightenment. What law-abiding teacher would use an illegal window manager?
