The Russians can get the crew if needed, and it's not like there are space thieves who'll come break into the ISS to steal valuables. But you're probably right, the shuttles will fly again.
It would be quite simple to just change the authentication system so this device doesn't work. They only have three shuttles, and it should be trivial to generate new crypto keys or whatever for each of them.
If the government doens't know of any flaws in AES, Blowfish, RSA, etc., then why would they bother using a "top secret" crypto box instead of just the publicly available algorithms?
For example, say I use the same card twice: once in a non-secret purchase connectable to my identity, such as having groceries delivered to me, and the second time for a payment I do not want connected to me -- in person at a porn shop, say.
There's no way for anyone to know that the same person was using the card for both purposes - you could have sold it to a friend and he was the one that bought porn.
Yes, but Parliament is 10/10 of the law, and it's not helping them. Thawte is a private company, and it can set whatever qualifications it wants for a cert.
That's not unusual. The Kasparov-Karpov world championship match in 1984 ended 41 out of 48 games in draws. There are chess rulesets that make draws impossible, but then it's not really chess.
Ive never seen Mozilla outperform any other browser
On that 266Mhz PII, Mozilla takes about 15 seconds to start up, and IE takes about 10. After that, they're roughly equal in speed. On my main computer (dual athlon 2200+ w/ 1GB RAM), Mozilla, IE, Opera, etc. all start up instantly (or pretty damn close). Mozilla isn't a speed demon, but I'd say it's generally at least as good as IE.
Come on, people, you don't hear Microsoft advising you to fire up the registry editor to get useful features of *their* software to work
Just because MS doesn't advertise it doesn't mean there aren't a lot of interesting registry tweaks possible.
fuck if I can tell how to change my window manager away from Metacity
apt-get remove metacity; apt-get install sawfish
Go to the Open File from Galeon
Galeon is a GNOME 1 app. The button order was changed in 2.0 for usability reasons. Galeon 2 has/will have the same button order as all other GNOME 2 apps.

The look you can get, using Geramik or Bluecurve themes. The feel freedesktop.org is working on.

The main difference is that KDE's file manager is average, and gnome's is below average.
I've never heard anyone agree on that. Do you have any links or reasons?
I'm not trying to be a gnome zealot, I'm just wondering. I personally prefer Nautilus to Konqueror, and I wonder what I'm missing.
Free as in speech = price of $0.00, no strings attached, public domain
I can't think of a single pice of software that meets those conditions. Not Linux, XFree86, KDE, GNOME, BSD, Apache, or even Hurd. Perhaps you should look up the true meaning of "public domain" (and possibly read the GPL).
Gnome2 for Linux on my old 500Mhz K6-2 is quite snappy. Since your box is considerably nicer than man, either the Solaris port really sucks, or you're doing something wrong.

It doesn't work NOW. Doesn't mean it won't work in a month or two. Linux already supports HFS, Firewire, power management, and weird input devices. It's only a matter of time before it gets hacked into the iPod.

But can you draw gnuchess?
Your Clie will never beat Kasparov unless people put a lot more work into chess software - brute forcing with better hardware is just a lot easier.

If you think watching a computer get slaughtered every time is "interesting", I guess that's true.
This is strange. Does no one care about this subject?
The parent poster knew that, he was saying that you should expect some people not to follow the rules.
If you never have, try typing about:mozilla in Mozilla and in Netscape 4.x. You'll get two different quotes.

Gtk 2.4 will have the new fileselector (it's not a GNOME thing). I believe it's scheduled for September.

In gnome-terminal, it's under Current Profile in the edit menu. I assume Konsole, eterm, etc have similar options.
