If you use rsync to copy the files back and forth
then you can use mbox no problime it will only copy parts of the file which changed. You would run in to a problime if there were changes in more then one file thoe. You could also consider CVS as a tool to distrubute you mail. It could handle the changes for multypul copys of the mbox and merge them. Plus you would never loose a message by acident.
It seems that if you allready have a
divece to copy works then you don't have to obtain
it. There for people who have DeCSS can use it
(asuming it is not illeagle on othere grounds) to
copy DVDs for there own use.
I was talking to somone, who has been staying up late hacking perl to make this happen, last thursday about this and it just is not true thay are not done. some one in marketing or somthing just desided to ship now. I am actuly not kidding what thay rilly have is some sort of plan of how to finish called the golden path or somthing. UCSC has been doing lots of good work on this but the sequencing is not finished from what I here.
PDF's alow you to chang the file just by adding to the end of it. so to get the orignal file just open it up with emacs find the end of the orginal file then delete the rest and re open it in your favirot pdf viwer. the full spec for pdf is on adobes web site.
This describes the typical Unix situation, which is not the typical Linux situation. There, more people have installed their own system and have root priviliges. And the less savvy the user, the bigger the chance that the root user is the only account on the system.
True but as linux moves ferther in to the home I think you will see less people who even know what root is letalown use it. look at how corel linux is set up. Secndly for bissness users the opsit will be true. I know the TI deparments are druling over the power thay would have if linux/unix was the desk top os of choise. It should also be noted that bissness users are the most impacted by viruses.
Your mak example is a jake. It is nothing like a viruses. it is not a infected file is just a bad program. Ferthere not only would it quickly be ditected it would only effect the retivitly small (and becoming smaller) number of users who aculy compile there programs instead of just using a package. (packeages have check sums and could, and should, be signed to prevent infection on them; as well as the fact that most people get packages of CD's)
This sounds like a neet project... Very tempting to work on. one thing which is good is that there is allready a cupple of realtime extentions to linux and it appears that there will now be standerdisation in there APIs.
But that is absolutely *NOT* the case when it comes to specialized areas of natural language where clarity and precision are at a premium. I *WANT* air-traffic controllers to speak in a highly structured, syntactically and lexically limited, and stereotypical fashion! I really *DO NOT* want them to use free verse!
The problime is that once you get past the learning stage of a language this no longer holds true In the way you think. You are right that well defined sublanguges are imporant for code maintance but a compilar *CAN NOT* enforce this. The only way to have clean clear code is to have riger in your programing. I program in perl and python and some of the things I have done in python would make its pundents cry. Any ridged structer can be abused. The difrance is that when I am programing in perl I am never FORCED to do somthing ugly; in python in contrast there have been cases where the language was to restrictive and to get the job done I had to push the rules to there limites and wirte code which was far from clear. To emphisize my point a restricitve language can not stop you form doing bad things only you can do that; furthere a restrictive language makes some thigs near imposible forceing you to do questionabale things to achive your goals.
The othere perl saying that this artical left out is "The easy things are easy and the hard things are posible."
Good code comes form beter programers not restrictive languages.
when I opted out thay toled me my ID it wasent a very long number. Now I am sure that thay have more then enough id's for every one in the world, probly way more then enough, but what if there were houdreds or thousands of people continusaly making requests for cookies and then deleteing them. How long untill we could exaust there ID space?
The guy who made these is the same guy who caught the German hackers who were soposadaly selling secrets to the Russians. As potrayed in the NOVA episode The Coocoos Egg as well as many books on hackers in the 80's.
Carmac is right about the fact that a cheet free systome is imposable. That is with respect to avalable computing resources. even if you off load all of the accounting to the server there is still the posibality to hack you GL driver so that it dosent render walles so that you can see who is on the othere side. this hack is even out side the game so you can't fix it with a closed game. the only way to fix this would to have the server to the rendering which is not feasable with todays resourses.
What I think you could do in stead is require users to get a CERT in a way that would make it hardish to get one with a false identity. you could then not wory about trusting the clyent you just have to trust the user if there is suspected cheeting then it can be investagetated and with the positive result being revocation of the CERT. This is of corse just moving the problime else where but I think that there are easer solutions in this relm. No I don't think the useing CERTs will solve the problime compleatly but I do think it will offer more effective sloution then through the use of just software.
well the trouth about translation is that the state of the art "wprking" systome do use a form of phrase structer grammer called HPSG (Head Driver Phrase Structer Grammer). There are older systomes which use GPSG (Genrlised Phrase Structer Grammer) which is the predisesor to HPSG. The tick is that the grammers are neatherer simple nore lucid and have thousands of rules. There are othere ways of buliding a natural language paser using theroys such as purly systacal aproches or GB (Government and Binding) but systacal atempts have not worked well and where GB has good theroy and is simple so far no one hase been able to write one which can run at a good speed. (I bleave that the best ones have taken up to and hour to parce one seantence).
There is also the problime that there are still manny kinds of pharases for which no one is sure what there structure is and even more which the sturcter is hotly debated.
anny way check my othere post on this story to learn how GPL Trans aculy works.
I posted this a reply to a comment but then thought maby it should be its own thread.
The problime is that most if not all of these systomes know nothing about meaning at all. All that do is try to match one set of strings to a difrent set of strings. GPL Trans works by the substuation methoud.
>from: Mooneer Salem > > It is a system where words in a phrase that > can be substituted are > marked by %phrase% > For example: > > English: My name is %phrase1%. > Spanish: Me llamo %phrase1%. >
This genreal systome can be extended in to a phrase sturcture grammer with pares of rules for each language. ex: english: S -> NP1 V NP2 irish: S -> V NP1 NP2
these rules would modal sentences like: english: the cat chased the dog. irish: chased the cat the dog.
All this is oversimplifyed but you get the poin. The real problime is that you need to be trained as a linguist to understand what the structer of many seantences are and even linguestes aruge a LOT. The phrase structal aprouch is probly what altavista a such do. All thoe I rilly like the idea to GPL Trans I do not thik there aproch will get them to far; but it will be fun to see what thay can do.

Most systomes on the internet are fearly easy to comprimise using "off the shelf" tools found on the internet.
