The 80s called and their want their wiretapping tech back.
This is great if you're worried about the neighbor kid listening in, but not for anyone serious. Wiretapping is done at the telco level and you can't tell you're being tapped. In the digital age there is no clicking, breathing, voltage drops or any other indication. There is a big long checklist when implementing a CALEA node for making certain there is no way the target can tell they're being monitored.
Red Hat's support for SELinux is superior to SuSE's. They are much more active in the development of SELinux than AppArmor. The opposite is true regarding AppArmor. SuSE is much more active in the development and support than Red Hat.
Yes, you can add either to the other. But there is far more expertise for AppArmor at SuSE considering they acquired it when they bought Immunix. And there is far more expertise for SELinux at Red Hat, considering how deeply they are involved with it.
Immunix created AppArmor as an alternative to SELinux, which was considered to hard to administer. Immunix was later aquired by Novell, and included in Novell Suse. Creating and maintaining AppArmor polices is user friendly, and that has led other Linux distributions, like Ubuntu and Mandriva, to include it in the default install. The overhead using AppArmor is said to be around 2% [Cowan].
In a surprise move, Novell laid of most of their AppArmor devlopers in September 2007 [news.com] [linux-magazine.com]. Making the future of AppArmor more uncertain and depended upon the open source community to continue the development. One indication of popularity can be seen in Google trends.
The main difference is Kid Rock acknowledged what he did and paid the fees in advance, whereas Mr. Ice tried to claim his riff was original and had to be threatened with a lawsuit to pay. Kid's stuff was by design. Ice's was in denial.
There isn't anything wrong with building upon the work of others, as long as it is properly acknowledged.
I know what he claimed. He was full of shit. He took their riff, added one note and claimed it "original". He was relying on legal semantics unique to the music industry for a definition of "original". To me "original" means he would have started from scratch and wrote his own music, not modified someone else's.
Even you use the phrase "adding one note", meaning he TOOK THE ORIGINAL and modified it. A derivative work in any other industry.
Anyway, my entire original post was supposed to be sarcasm. My point was this type of stuff goes on all the time, it is just these guys with the game were overly sloppy in making their derivative works "original" -- like Ice.
Van Winkle's success also brought legal and personal problems. "Ice Ice Baby" sampled the 1982 Queen and David Bowie collaboration "Under Pressure" without permission, acknowledging credit, or paying royalties. There was no public court case over the issue, but the copyright holders of "Under Pressure" considered a lawsuit and settled out of court with Van Winkle for an undisclosed sum. Van Winkle recalled in 2008, "What happened is I was trying not to get sued and it didn't work. So yeah, they're the same songs, in case you were wondering."
...it is sampling, just like in the music industry.
For example, listen to the opening sequence of Queen's Under Pressure featuring David Bowie. Then, after having your stomach pumped as a precaution, the opening bits of Vanilla Ice's Ice, Ice Baby.
For the Google impaired, here is a YouTube link doing a comparison.
Just equate Limbo of the Lost with Ice, Ice Baby and you will understand. Of course, that would mean Majestic Studios is really Vanilla Ice...
True. But knives are much easier to conceal and more common in clubs and pubs. There seems to be less of a threshold for pulling out a knife and stabbing in an argument and firing a gun. Both suck, however.
Drive-by shootings are not exactly common in Middle-America. Downtown Oakland, maybe, but in San Ramon it would be practically unheard of.
Maybe I missed a memo, but so far all I've found for WiFi-N support on Linux is "legacy mode" where it falls back to B/G. Is there real, MIMO and bonded WiFi-N under Linux for either the Intel or Atheros chipsets?
I have a couple of Motorola phones that will not charge under WinXP unless the Motorola software is installed. On Linux it just charges away. I have no problem with generic wall chargers.
I think it has to do with the way WinXP decides if it is safe to send power over the line or not.
Thus, the comparison with searching for life in the universe is an invalid one. Which was my point. Life in the universe is objectively provable, God is a matter of faith.
His proposal was to invoke the rights of the Legislature under Article III, Section 2 to create an exception where the Supreme Court doesn't have appellate jurisdiction. That wouldn't overturn the existing decision, but would prevent the SCOTUS from ruling on a future re-write or similar law.
You do now. They're supposed to re-validate information every few years. My grandmother had to go in and provide copies of her DL, SS card and passport (optional) a couple of years back. This is for a bank where she not only had an account for the last 30+ years, but worked at for over 10.
It depends on who is killed. The correct statement would probably be more like "you're going to get one of our own killed". I do not believe the CIA subscribes to the philosophy that all life is of equal value.
1. I lost my license. 2. I was in a hurry and left my wallet at home, including my ID. 3. My DL was suspended and the State confiscated it. 4. I live in the middle of a big city (Chicago, NY, LA, etc.), have never owned a car and never had need for a license or ID. I use public transportation or walk. (Follow up to "Why are you flying?" is "I'm attending a funeral.")
Be careful with #3 and #4. With #3, it should probably be true as a pissy TSA officer can probably verify that. With #4, you need to be able to think quick. For example... "My bank account? I've lived in the same city for 30 years. I was born there and everyone knows me. The bank manager just signed off on my identification, since he went to high school with my dad and has known me since I was born." ["Personally known" *is* an option for verifying identity on opening a bank account or having something notarized.]
Why, after all, should people in bad situations be given a chance to get out of them?
He can get out. Move, or do it himself. Why should you get the government to give you all the amenities when it wasn't the gov't that forced you to move there?
Rephrase your sarcastic question this way. Why, after all, when you voluntarily put yourself in a bad situation, should everyone else be forced at gunpoint to make your life more comfortable?

Do these guys actually sell a product, yet?
I remember reading something about golf clubs made of this stuff years ago, but their stock isn't exactly doing well.

Hey! He still has a few months left. There is a possibility -- however slim -- that TWO good things could come from this administration!

SuSE is a proponent of AppArmor, whereas Red Hat is big into SELinux. If you're big into security, this is a major difference.

I was saying Vanilla Ice's use was "sampling", in the sarcastic sense. I am fully aware that Bowie was in there the entire time.
Success != Being Right

Curse you for not porting it to the Amiga! That was the one game on the ST that made me (almost) think about buying an Atari.
Why is that a *whoosh*? It is correct.
The original "Pound Sterling", way back when, was just that -- one pound of Sterling (92.5% pure) silver.

"In plain sight" in this context probably means a gun rack on the rear window of the pickup truck. I seriously doubt they were "waving them around".
BTW, how is that rash of knife crime coming out? I've noticed a lot more stories about stabbings on the Beeb.

No, it wasn't.

Considering a train only goes where there are tracks, not a lot by comparison.
Reading a bit further the RFP noted the Pentagon would really like a pony.

Totally batshit insane.
It depends on who is killed. The correct statement would probably be more like "you're going to get one of our own killed". I do not believe the CIA subscribes to the philosophy that all life is of equal value.
I did, several times.
The following excuses work fine:
1. I lost my license.
2. I was in a hurry and left my wallet at home, including my ID.
3. My DL was suspended and the State confiscated it.
4. I live in the middle of a big city (Chicago, NY, LA, etc.), have never owned a car and never had need for a license or ID. I use public transportation or walk. (Follow up to "Why are you flying?" is "I'm attending a funeral.")
