Hardware has two advatages. 1) it is generally faster. 2) It is harder to trojan a hardware device then software. The first one is all that most people think about.
That is what we have policies for. It would be against policy to copy top secret info into a secret document. If you have access to top secret info then you are trusted to handle top secret info properly.
Acadia U does this for many courses

Laptop Exams?

· Score: 2
Acadia University, in Nova Scotia, Canada, uses laptops to some degree or another for all of its courses. If you do not have a laptop one will be provided. Every room includeing residence is wired with multiple ethernet jacks. Acadia is an very good small university with an excellent CS program. While the fees are a little high by Canadian standards the cerriculum is cutting edge.
This is what I was trying to do. My 6800 assembler is a little rough so it may not assemble without modifications. LDD 0, Y LDX #$0004 IDIV BNE false LDD 0, Y LDX #$0064 IDIV BNE true LDD 0,Y LDX #$0190 IDIV BNE false true LDAA 1 BRA exit false CLRA exit NOP
Store the year in the address (two bytes) pointed to by INDEX Y, The result 1-True/0-False is stored in accumulator A. The two bytes pointed to by INDEX X is used as a scratch area. Run time: 166 clock cycles. (not counting final NOP.)
Those IDIVs are expensive at 41 cycles each. Is there a better way to do mod?
Totally false. The copyright holder can do anything with their code includeing relicensing. What they can't do is take code that is GPLed away from you. The authors don't lose any rights to their code.
This happened with Debian, Corel, and libapt. Corel wrote a QT frontend using libapt. Libapt is covered under the GPL (not LGPL). Corel would have been a violation of the GPL except that the author(s) of libapt gave Corel a special licence.
Yeah, as discussed elsewhere 20C is a bit of a stretch. Provided no active refrigeration (peletier, or freon) it must be a few (10C or more) warmer then ambient/room temp.
The junction temp can also be the temp between the heatsink and the chip. (As opposed to the junction between differently doped Si.) If you talked to to a thermodynamics guy the temp between heatsink and chip would be the one he was talking about.
Your "shift in furniture" is, surprise surprise, the same recommendation given by sane parents groups: "Put the computer in a high traffic area in your home."
There is nothing like a little embarssement (from breaking community standards) to temper peoples actions.
For a good distributed DoS you don't need spoofed packets. It is much more devestating to use real addresses. Using real addrs you can establish connections and request files to download. You can chew up far more bandwidth, processor time, and RAM this way then simply flooding the link with bogus traffic. If you want to be particularly nasty you start screwing around with the packets you (should) send back to the server. That is left as an execise for the reader as well the guestimate for how many attackers you need. (hint: not that many)
Although I do agree that it would be nice if ISPs would start dropping spoofed source packets. It is trivial to do. It is a standard feature for most routers and can be done on the cheap with OpneBSD or Linux boxes. I don't however think a law is need. I hate legislateing common sense.
Ask a socialogist and statician. When compiling data it is very important to ask the question properly to remove any biases. For example it has been claimed that durring an election the first name on the ballot will get 4% of the vote. It would be very easy for to ask a substlely biased question.
However I agree with other posters that this is probably valid as most people just don't know any better.
As has already been mentioned the pirates don't care about deCSS. The pirates are going to get $10K DVD burners and mass produce bit for bit copies of DVDs.
I would like to see more people use BSD. I use OpenBSD myself. However I feel that except for points 2 and 6 your justifications of why *BSD is better are incorrect. Try Debian. It does a good job at at the upgrades. Out-of-the-box it was as secure as my out-fo-the-box OpenBSD 2.6. Patches are easier to apply. The command "apt-get update&&apt-get upgrade" downloads and installs everything I need. I don't have to compile anything. Debian has several good mailing lists as well as Debian weekly news.
For me BSD really wins in the intergration dept. I really like how the base system fits together well. Configuration is much easier. I wish Debian would stop trying to be everything to everyone and decide on a base set of packages.
And here I thought the hardcoded email address was so that Mr Malda, in his efforts to be Big Brother, could keep track of who is using the code. Ofcourse we are all aware of Mr Malda's other nefarious schemes.
I hate to spell it out, but the idea is this: Alice is useing a computer. The computer could be a laptop, a workstation, or a server. Eve wants to know what Alice is doing. Eve causes a system crash by pulling the plug or battery on the computer. Eve gains console access to the computer through theft or ligitemate access. Eve scans the contents of the swap file to see what Alice was doing.
By using an encrypted swap file Alice makes it harder (maybe impossible) for Eve to perform this kind of attack. This type of attack is particularly effective against laptops as they are easy to steal. If I had a laptop that contained sensitive information I would want to use bath an encrypted filesystem and an encrypted swap file. Yes I would take a performance hit. However if the laptop is stolen I am out a few thousand dollars but my sensitive information is safe.
Thank you! I never really considered w3m before but tried it on your recomendation. I just installed W3M (apt-get install w3m) and it rocks! It displays Slashdot wonderfully. It uses my editer of choice to enter this comment. I probably won't use it for my day to day browseing, but I will be putting w3m on all my machines. Sometimes a text mode browser is exactly what I need. (like when trying to read those online docs when your hardware stops working.) All you Lynx users should atleast give w3m a try. At the very least it will show you what you have to add to the lynx codebase:-)
what does it mean to "alias" NNTP traffic? Specifically, what does the following from the UDP mean?
UDPs are enforced by site administrators and spam cancelers around the world, who either cancel the messages directly, or pathhost alias the sites so that their news software no longer accepts nor propagates articles which originate at the site under UDP.

Haven't you been paying attention. You can't hear the black helicopters. They use special alien technology and are silent.
So when is the JeniCam IPO? As one of the few web sites that actually make money it is past due.

Exactly! That is why some people want an encrypted swap file.
After a system crash, confidential information (pgp passwords) can be found in the swap file. System crashes are easily made: you pull the plug.
That is odd. For me W3M fired up emacs (actually my emacs wrapper) as set in $EDITOR. In the W3M config the editor is set to: [sensible-editor ] .

I see 64bit can be exported but not 128bit or better. And for public keys only 512 and 1024 are allowed? This looks to be fairly pointless.
On the plus side it looks like open source can be exported unrestricted.

Not all of 24.*, just most. I was with another cable provider and they used 24.*.
