Sigh. It's not a question of you being able to get fonts. It's a question of your Linux *distributor* being able to *distribute* fonts. That's why this is important, dink-ass. -russ
New York City has a bunch of "lost" stations in its system as well. http://www.forgotten-ny.com/ has all sorts of interesting industrial archaeology things, e.g. the aqueduct that used to run from Yonkers over a bridge into lower Manhatten. You can still see places where it used to run through the Bronx. -russ
If RMS deems a license non-compatible with the GPL, then it is by definition not "Free", and software licensed under that non-compatible license is not "Free Software".
Wrong.
I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure the Plan 9 license is officially recognized as an Open Source license.
Wrong.
Software companies are not going to go away overnight (or even in the forseeable future, if you value useable software), but in a world of "GPL, and nothing but GPL" those companies cannot exist.
One must ignore the existance of Red Hat, but you're already proven that you live a fact-free existance, so why not? -russ
If we wanted to get into space in a big way, we'd do it the American way -- via private enterprise, rather than the centrally-planned, tax-funded socialist way. How about not making private spaceflight illegal? There's plenty of people ready and willing to fund spaceflight. Look at what John Carmack has done. -russ
where it moves onto the Ethernet segment the packet will be padded to the minimum size
Yes, and if you're not ON that network, then you'll have no access to those bits. This attack only works if you have failed to secure your physical plant. -russ
WTF?? Packets that go over HDLC or PPP have no minimum frame size. When a packet gets routed, there are no "extra" bits. So this attack only works if you're on the same LAN. -russ
This vuln is at least fifteen years old. To exploit it, you need physical access to the Ethernet. Before the days of switched networks, physical access to the Ethernet meant access to EVERYTHING: telnet sessions, pop3 session, ftp transfers, all with passwords in the clear. Switched networks just make it a little harder to intercept the data (you have to forge ARP replies). -russ
a year ago?? You're kidding. This problem has been well-known for at least fifteen years. But given that passwords have been floating around in the clear (telnet, pop3, imap), why bother securing random contents of memory? Remember, you've got to be on the same Ethernet to exploit this. -russ
I think Apple should get together with Apple records and create a line of pies. Specifically, an apple pie. So then it would be the Apple Apple Apple pie. -russ
Neither one. To form a contract, both parties must realize there is a contract. Since there is no standard, nor any kind of accepted practice, for putting conditions on the acceptable email in the SMTP banner, there is no contract. -russ
The whole of his argument is "there might be collateral damage". Well duh! Choose an DNSBL (Note: RBL is the name of a specific DNS Blocking List) that has a policy against collateral damage. Some do, some don't. He's complaining that collateral damage hurts innocent parties. Well, he's just done the same thing he's complaining about by damaging the reputation of DNSBL's that don't do collateral damage. -russ

Yes, basically, you're right.

The report itself points to the correct solution: switch to Python, since Python is implemented so much better than Java.

When a packet is routed, there is no minimum Ethernet size involved, so the leaked data is not sent. That's not exactly what you said.

The drivers Microsoft *ships* are not affected. Microsoft doesn't ship a driver for every Ethernet card one might use.

Not to disparage the work of sanitation engineers, but I think teachers should make at least as much..
Feel free to donate money to the local teacher's union, then. Actually, the "proper" pay is whatever it takes to hire the last teacher you hired.
