3) Try to hack it from the Internet, without knowing its IP address.
That's just plain retarded.
Does this make any sense?
Buy a new house.
Install top of the line security system.
Break into it from outside without knowing the address.
People... hiding your IP address is NOT SECURITY. Quit treating it as some sort of security issue. If your machine is secure, knowing it's address is of little use. Sure anonymity helps, and keeping a low profile is good, but they are not functions of a secure system. It is a required peice of information in order to participate in the internet.
Cracks me up like the banners that pop up exclaiming "Warning! Your computer is broadcasting an IP Address!".

PS: captcha was "gobbles". Remember him? I wonder where he's gone these days...
Ok. I gotta say it, unless it really was done already, the thumnail view for browser tabs is pretty neat. Tough to call it innovative since it's not a new concept or anything. In fact it's probably no different than OS-X's Exposé feature, just put into the browser. But it's new and it's something that might be useful.

Popular meaning
In the popular vernacular, the expression "mea culpa" has acquired a more direct meaning, in which, by doing or performing a "mea culpa", someone admits to have made a mistake by one's own fault (meaning that it could have been avoided if that person had been more diligent). It may be used even in trivial situations: if a football player, for instance, admits that his team lost a match because he missed a penalty kick, this may be called a "mea culpa", meaning that he admitted his mistake, which he could have avoided (at least in theory), and that resulted in a subsequent evil.

New Keyboard Technology

· Score: 4, Interesting
That thing looks painful to use. I have enough trouble with a normal keyboard layout, but there's really no point to putting keys anywhere but directly under your fingertips where you don't have to move to reach them.... which is exactly what the CLAW has solved:
This has been possible for YEARS using VMware. It is also a considerable more mature and feature rich product. I recently upgraded to version 5 and I have never felt better about supporting a commercial project (it is top quality stuff, and their linux release is also extremely well done and worth the money).
VMware doesn't care what you run as a guest OS. I can basically write my own OS and it will boot. It emulates the virtual machine from the bare metal up, starting with a POST.
All three problems fixed would require a user to browse a malicious website or click on a link... but then there is a HIGH probability that THAT will happen. Again proof of concept exploit code has been released for this flaw.
Wrong. Based on those summaries, I'd say the first two are exploitable by the attacking system connecting TO the target. No action is required by the victim. Only the third I would guess involves web-related malware.
"The only thing that ever takes any time from an administration POV is etc-update."
Then you'll be pleased to discover 'dispatch-conf' It keeps all your CONFIG_PROTECT files in RCS revision control and automatically merges in changes which do not result in conflicts (not by default, auto-merge must be enabled, but it works flawlessly). You'll only be prompted when there are changes to config files in updates that directly conflict with changes that you've made yourself.
Did you ever stop to consider that they're actually GNOME developers? Gtk is only a widget toolkit. Gnome libraries provide extra features and integration which many of us find extremely useful.
If you don't like it, don't USE it. Or write your own damn software.
Well, it couldn't have been *that* hard considering Gnome 2.10 has been available to install on Gentoo since the day after it was officially released.
It may be confusing to you, since you are not a Gnome developer and have no clue what the various libraries do... but then again, you do not need to package Gnome yourself. There's a dev team for Gentoo which handles it for me.
Personally, I think Slackware is kind of lame for saying "Oh... that's too hard to package, so... we'll just drop it from the distro." But I guess if they didn't, their release schedule might start to look like Debian's... hehe.
The guys at Emperor Linux had one on display at LinuxWorld in Boston last month. It was creating a mob scene of people wanting to check it out.
It's actally quite slick. The only thing is, it is very viewer-position dependent. Meaning, you have to be sitting right in the sweet spot to get the full effect. If you're a little off, you can still see it, but it's not as pronounced and you start to see some funkiness with the colors.
The 3D mode can be switched on and off and in 2D mode, it looked usable (but 2D res looked pretty low to me, I'll stick with my SXGA+ thinkpad thanks).
FREE as in _FREEDOM_. This doesn't not allow anyone to download music from iTunes without paying for it. What it does, is allow you the freedom to use the music how you'd like. For those of us who'd prefer to not be tied to only listening to this music on an iPod or with iTunes, (maybe a media PC in the living room?), this is GREAT news.
Nobody is advocating stealing anything from Apple.
The Sourceforge page incorrectly lists the license as BSD. The COPYING file in the archive contains the GPL2 license. Unfortunately, none of the source files contain a license header.
I scanned the Changelog briefly and didn't see anything major. I usually grep for 'thinkpad' or 'laptop' (my main system), to see if there is anything nice to try out. There are some laptop_mode improvements (disk IO buffering, keeps hard drive spun down for as long as possible) which should benefit any laptop user.
On occasion, someone will write up a nice summary of highlights. Anyone seen such a thing for 2.6.8?
Yeah. That was a trial. And it just goes to show that under pressure, the impossible can be done. It makes me wonder how much shit actually goes on in the world which nobody but solitary, terrified individuals ever know about.
Wow. Very interesting thought. I know I've been in a couple of these things before, but unlike you, I seem to be better at blocking out the memories.
Anyway that last part made me think of every sitcom where the kids were playing in the living room, broke a lamp and managed, peice by peice to superglue it back together before the parents came home. Only, for laughs, the next day, the lamp would fall apart suddenly and the kids pretend to be as suprised as the parents.
