Uh, it HAS been filling your log files with warnings about upgrading for months, if not years. It's pretty f'ing explicit:
LibClamAV Warning: *** This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated. *** LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq ***
I love how everyone here is telling you to just pencil and paper. For the past 7 years (through both college and high school), I have taken all of my math notes in Mathematica. Every symbol, even the most esoteric ones, is at most four or five keystrokes. For example, an integral like integral x=0 to inf (x^2)/xbar is quick to enter:
integral template -- ESC i n t t ESC bound -- x = 0 TAB ESC inf ESC value -- x C-6 2 RIGHT C-/ x C-5 UNDERSCORE
it's really quick to type, and you'll quickly learn the keystrokes from the character palette. I haven't taken a single note on paper in any of my math classes since about sophomore year of high school.
Dies for me at my ISP's border router; I've never seen a traceroute die so fast. Only 2 hops before it goes dead. It makes me think that the global BGP tables are blackholing the subnet.
I checked a bunch of BGP looking glasses and they all report "Network not in table", as in there are no global routes for that IP address.
Generating a certificate involves generating a public and private key pair. You provide the public key to the CA (e.g. Thawte) and they give you a certificate which says that the corresponding private key is to be trusted. What matters is where the public/private key pair were generated. If you did that on a vulnerable Debian/Ubuntu machine, your certificate absolutely is vulnerable. The vulnerable act is the generation of the keys, not the signing of the certificate.
People have trouble finding and organizing mail because most modern mail clients have exceedingly difficult-to-use search functionality. Gmail is nice, but I don't want to have to keep my mail on some other company's server that I can't control. I have 37,972 messages in my inbox right now, and I've only found one program that can handle it: PINE. With my inbox open, PINE is only using 19 MB of RAM and searches through every message in a couple seconds.

Keep in mind this is a system for authentication, not a system for authorization. You can trick the user into proving their identity, but OpenID doesn't allow you to then access the user's information. It only allows you to verify that they are who they say they are.
As a member of my school's FIRST team, I have to say that you are DEAD WRONG.
We spent 4 hours every night for 6 weeks designing and building our robot from scratch. The few engineers we had didn't even show up half the time. About the only thing they did was a bunch of force calculations (that later turned out to be wrong).
Umm, excuse me? If you go to Google News, you'll see that every photo is attributed with the source it came from. I'm not sure what AFP's complaint is. Isn't it fair use to link a thumbnail to the original image? It's like publishing summaries in a book review so people will know if they want to read the book.
You folks think that's funny... when I got my first linux machine in '99, I used ed because it was the simplest editor I had. A year later I discovered emacs, and it wasn't until very recently that someone pointed out pico/nano to me. And vi still gives me the shivers:D
I find that when my AlBook is plugged in, with the processor performance set to "High", it averages around 130 degrees. When maxing out the CPU or taxing the graphics, though, it will go up to 143 degrees, at which point the fan turns on. If I unplug it, it gets much, much cooler - 100 degrees or so. --Quentin
Be very happy... That means you're above a lot of/.ers, because you have friends with your e-mail address in their outlook address book. Then again, they're windows users with a virus, so I'm not sure if you want them as your friends.
Most recent viruses will cull from addresses from the address book and/or text files that are on the infected computer.
Uhh, think again. Ever read the Terms of Service you agreed to? Unless you and your neighbors are all lucky enough to have one of the few providers that allows bandwidth sharing, you'll soon see huge fines or just termination of your service if you setup a wireless network. --Quentin
They're surprisingly useful. The perfect tech gadget. I'm surprised there's not at least some people purchasing them. The minute I have the $3,000ish to buy one, I will.
Whenever I get a chance to try one of my friends' Segways, I jump at the chance.

Much simpler:
openssl rand -base64 32 | head -c 10
Where "10" is the number of characters you want.

Do you have any more info about that lecture? I'm interested in going...
Thanks,

Not only that, but their HR schedule is done in WebObjects!

I must be really tired... I thought the headline was:
New 'Pentium' Computer To Help Children Learn
and I thought... nah, it won't help kids learn.

All I can say is, some jerk bit my 2.4.21 system with this bug. This past week has not been a happy week for me.

Bah, I can do it in a zero liner with your method of line counting:
#!/usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -eshell

And I have much more functionality too!

Hi-
SuperCard is basically an updated version of HyperCard, for OS X. It can even load all of your old stacks...

Have you ever tried a Segway yourself?

I've already rendered movies in OpenGL...
