I'm horrified by the question and its sentiments. Both Dan and Theo are human people. Never can one justify wishing one person dead in another's place. Were I an employer, I'd be careful not to send the wrong message out to people being interiewed by asking this question.
Isn't this what Open Source is about: Sun can take the code and release their own fork; it's never been OpenSSH's job to fix the problems in the code that other people package and use, unless Theo is so paternally protective of his program code that he must make sure it's perfect anywhere it's used (cue cartoon of Theo appearing from nowhere to correct someone walking down the street talking with a friend about configuring OpenSSH, saying "It's not 'ssh host port password -md5', it's 'ssh host port password --md5', you idiot!"). I'm nonplussed by Theo's words in TFA shaming IBM for asking them to fix problems for a client: isn't the standard process that IBM and Sun have to follow to write and file a patch to the project hosts?
That depends. I'm curently of the opinion (and it can quickly change) that the Soul is an emergent property of the system, and that mimicking the system should enable the same behaviour to emerge (and, oddly, intelligent design says the same: the structure was intended to have these properties, so any clone or copy or simulation or alternative implementation should also have these properties). Unless Soul works out to be a DRM provision tying personhood to biological matter...
Anakin's fall to the dark side was handled nearly perfectly
I guess I can only talk about what biases and observations I would have included had I told Anakin's story. Essentially, Anakin's fall to the dark side is about whether the ends justify the means -- whether we can do bad things with te justification of good intent. Anakin, without even having taken The Trials, is groomed to lie to the Jedi Council and to protect his family. Nowhere does he appear to stop and give this issue of ends-versus-means time for consideration appropriate to our present societal state: political interests in foreign countries and at home causing conflicts with our commitment to Human Rights and freedom. Is it right to do bad things to safeguard that freedom?
Whn it comes to stupid noises at times of strife, shouting "Nooooo!" must run in the family. I think that Luke's story needs more to be told of how Darth Vader is the bogeyman and represents to Luke what pure evil is (perhaps with his friends suffering at the hands of the Empire to motivate Luke to take up arms against the Empire) so that his existence as the son of Anakin can justify such shock and horror.
Q8bot is a very small bot, consisting of only 926 lines of C-code. And it has one additional noteworthiness: It's written for Unix/Linux systems. It implements all common features of a bot: Dynamic updating via HTTP-downloads, various DDoS-attacks (e.g. SYN-flood and UDP-flood), execution of arbitrary commands, and many more. In the version we have captured, spreaders are missing. But presumably versions of this bot exist which also include spreaders.
Ah, the classic Package Management Unification topic! It rears its head from time to time, and will probably never be resolved. I've rarely downloaded rpm's from sources other than managed repositories (official or unofficial places like Dag Wieers and Livna), with CodeWeavers' CrossOver Office being one exception. I can't think of many pieces of software which aren't repackaged by Debian/Fedora (the distributions I'm familiar with) besides Helix Player, Skype and CrossOver Office.
Each distribution maintain their own packages and meet the dependencies for their own versions, applying custom patches that work with the custom patch-sets applied to their distribution's kernel. The typical path for these kernel and utility patches to merge is upstream with their authors, and until there is more cross-fertilisation of home-made patches, I can't see everyone adopting even an LSB-compatible package format.
(Incidentally, it's odd how F/LOSS has advocates who recommend people use it to avoid reinventing the wheel, while each distribution has people who reimplement work done by others in their own distributions...)
At the end of the presentation, Andreas Pleschek revealed that the laptop he used for the presentation was running a pre-release of their new platform, the Open Client. It is actually a Red Hat work station with IBM's new Workplace Client, which is built in Java on top of Eclipse. Because of Eclipse, it runs on both Linux and Windows, and they have been able to reuse the C++ code in Lotus Notes for Windows to run it natively on Linux via Eclipse. Internally in IBM, for years, they have had a need to run Lotus Notes on Linux, and now they can. And they will offer it to their customers. Workplace uses Lotus Notes for mail, calendar, etc. and Firefox as their browser. For an office suite, they use OpenOffice.org.
It seems that the new IBM thing, Workplace has Notes running natively.
But if it's a corporate notebook computer, it would be a good idea use the TPC to stop unauthorised programs from reading or writing data on storage, rendering a stolen work computer -- without startup password or 2-fac codes -- useless to a thief.
I think that Cringely made a plausible case for having an iPod as part of your home entertainment equipment without involving a computer (by getting media from a booth at Blockbuster Video). His intention was to show that there is a market for iPods outside the existing demographic, and that Apple should see if they make more profit by selling their wares to this segment.
As for broadband uptake, perhaps the article about USA attitudes to Broadband wasn't available when you wrote -- it tells us that many people don't see the need for higher data rates, so there is a need to get movies to them by other means.
I think that high-end notebook computers are beginning to use SATA disks (Alienware, while using SATA, doesn't explicitly say that their m7700 uses 2.5" disks but I'd doubt they fit two 3.5" drives in a notebook), so they exist. Froogle has a U.S.A. search and A U.K. search yielding a few results for 2.5" SATA disks, though I doubt these drives have a decent amount of cache or spindle speeds above 7200rpm.
Your comment is misleading. The document lists only 61 errata and contains their respective details. The initial table of errata -- table 5 -- is only four pages long (begins 13 and ends 16) and is most likely to group the problems by the wafer families; the next two pages reiterate the errata for each given brand name of AMD K7/K8 chip; all but one of the remaining pages detail the errata and their suggested workarounds/fixes. The last page is a list of extra resources.
I don't dispute your comment regarding the experience of a chipset designer.
I used to think in agreement with your first statement, but someone challenged me to consider what does Windows use to detect hardware and build its HAL? I think that it uses BIOS calls, and so the hackers will need to write a whole new HAL for WinXP or write a translation table to answer the questions WinXP asks as it starts.
Am I wrong in thinking that the RIAA and MPAA are breaking the GPLv3 by supplying object code without complete corresponding source code? Thus they can be legally coerced into supplying those keys. The FSF is trying to write the GPLv3 so that the software declared Free by the GPLv3 will remain Free, and that people won't be able to co-opt it for non-Free uses.

The cheap and dirty way will be to use forks called "KNU". So you'd need to acknowledge it as KNU/Linux...

This time it'll be the people opposing such developments on religious grounds who cry out "NOOOOOOoooooooo!"

ukr is wonderful.
This blog post identifies a bot called Q8 for Linux/Unix systems. Honeynet's paper on bots (http://www.honeynet.org/papers/bots/) says:

I doubt it's that great a gift -- parce-que le mot 'cadeau' ne termine pas par les lettres 'e' et 'u'.

Netcraft have only confirmed that it's dying. The Spelling Nazis also endorsed the pronouncement.
There's some comments in the Ars Technica forum following the article which says that Spotlight indexes the data from your old machine, causing it to be a bit busy. Once that's over, you should be up to full speed (which they cite from the MacWorld review of a 2.0GHz MacBook Pro).
I've experience far greater risk from Hydrogen Hydroxide. So watch out, kids!

That's why I'm reading the paper these guy published. Scholar.google.com provided listed it first; The IACR's e-print archive is kind enough to supply the full postscript document...

Now, can someone track down pricing info for these cards?
It's an ATi launch. So there will be prices, but the shipping date's the real mystery.
Pedantry requires me to point out that both feature-length Wallace & Gromit animations were distributed by Dreamworks.
It's that Reality Distortion Field, again.
