There is a VAST difference Yes, it's the difference between fscking 300 milion Joe's who cannot sue you and don't really know the difference between a CPU and an operating system, and trying not to piss off big $$$ companies which can, eventually, sue. Microsoft is also helpful towards big $$$, rest assured.
Wow! A lot of questions... SELinux can handle this, you have to read/find out for yourself how. Start here: http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/ selinux -faq-en/ http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_do c.php?doci d=21959&group_id=21266 Basically, you can have to come up with (as in "write") the right policy.
Another option is to run user-mode linux. I don't know of any "secure" glibc (but again, I don't know everything... just most of the things:-) )
Well, I think you are. At least CIH was a real virus, by your definition. Check the technical descripion here. Nasty one, also - tries to re-flash the BIOS with garbage.
But generally speaking you're right, most of the so-called viruses are actually trojans these days.
what's the point of asteroid surveillance if you don't have nukes to take them out with anymore? The point is you don't need any nukes if you get the warning in time. See this extensive article at FAS: http://www.fas.org/spp/military/docops/usaf/2020/a pp-r.htm
The whole article fails to come with any credible argument for the overhead theory; except, of course, the fact that 1% of a big number is, well, greater than 1% of a smaller one, I don't buy for one second the idea that keepalive and administrative packets can add up to 0.1% of the traffic.
You get more than that just from the TCP/IP headers.
Only when NNTP support arrives do I think Evolution will be-feature complete.
While this is 100% true, I cannot stop from wondering how many of the featurs will have to be polished and/or debugged until they are really working.
Take, for example, the "gpg support": the article bluntly states "you just create a keypair, tell Evolution the ID of your key and it does the rest: signing, encryption, key import, signature verification etc. - it's all there just waiting to be used.". Well... this is purely fiction: ok, it *apparently* works, it encrypts ok, but it messes up the signature check (see also ximian's bugzilla). Two points here:
first, this is the reason I didn't switch to Evolution. Everybody has access to my public key, so the signature-checking is a feature as important as encryption (to me at least).
this casts a shadow on the whole review (as someone posted, "Would You Trust a Source Named Anarchy?"). If all the "testing" was as shallow as it was for the gpg support, the answer is definitely "no".
Future versions of VP3 will be released under the LGPL [...] Stay tuned!
In other news, future versions of Windows will be released under the LGPL; stay tuned and don't forget to tell your children to tell their children to tell...
Cool thing if you think the police would really use something like this... Makes me frown to think how many so called "security" guards/companies would jump the bandwagon; not to mention all the outlaws.
Anyone thinking (for the 4th time today) "enemy of the state"?

I always mount home as noexec.
/home/luser/runMEnow" will work, even if you mount /home with "-o noexec". Common pitfall...
Not enough: "/lib/ld-linux.so.2

call it "Industrial-Strength" if it's "pre-alpha?"

A notice like "we know who you are, pervert, and we're going to tell your mom" will surely help to reduce even more the number of clicks.
Anyway, excellent idea ripnet, even without my modest contibution.
Actually the danger is not the 5% more virus code available, it's more about the 35% more windows code on the loose.
Why ask Igor when you can ask slashdot? :-)

4. How can I profit from this?

SSL is far from worthless: don't blame the shortcomings of your client on the whole technology.
If you try fetchmail (for secure pop3 aka pop3s or secure imap) you *have* control on the certs.
Also, the SSL extensions of the SMTP protocol hide even the recipient of the mails(!) -- so you see, gpg+ssl transport is better than gpg alone.
I just said "properly configured": use 2048 or 3072 bit keys and you're safe for the next 2 years...
Even with the recent evolution in factoring, there's no match for a properly set-up pgp/gpg.
Why bother to rely on their niceness when you can easily be rather sure nobody reads your important mails?
