My guess is no. The US crypto export rules go beyond the simple: "you can't export real crypto." For example if an American wishes to move to Canada to work on cryptography they have to: renounce American citizenship, and WAIT 10 YEARS. This is probably true for Americans moving to other countries as well. This assumes that the American will want to some day return to the US. There is not much the US law can do to you, if the country you are in won't extradite you (Canada will extradite).
It seems to me that SGI hasen't stuck with any product long enough to actually sell it and develope a market. It is cool to seem them jump on the Linux bandwagon. Hopefully we (the users) will see some good stuff come out of it. However, I can't help but think that SGI is hopeing that Linux will kick a bit of life back into a mostly dead company.
Terrorists are considerably more likely to target US citizens than, say, Canadians (to the point the State Department has to issue advisories warning Americans not to go to certain countries; I somehow doubt Canadians have to worry so much).
Actually Canadians have to worry about being mistaken for Americans. Canadians are also loseing their fromerly excellent reputation when travelling.
Recently the CBC (Canadian TV station) show Undercurrents came to the conclusion that PR firms lead reporters of all media types around feeding them tidbits of information. The reporters generally play along as Real Reporting (TM) is too hard, and the reporters don't want to be cut out of the loop. This is a growing trend and only getting worst.
Currently PR is having a hard time on the Internet because company insiders are freely giving out inside information and rumours. Additionaly most Internet reporters are currently out of the PR loop as they aren't recognized as being reporters worth feeding information to. This will change. Companys (PR deparments) will start cracking down on their employees feeding the Internet rumour mill just like they do for TV. PR will also start to suck Internet reporters into the PR loop. Most reporters find it very hard not to resist the PR loop. (despite their best intentions)
Not all information will be controlled by PR, just most of the coperate stuff. It will never get as bad as TV. TV air time is expensive. An Internet web page is cheap. Alternative media will continue to florish. Most Western cities of any decent size should have atleast one alternative paper. This type of alternative reporting works well on the Internet. The only difference being the larger, TV sized, potential audiences.
People should also realise that the Internet population is still largely an alternative culture. Hence they tend to read alternative media. This is changeing every day as the Internet is reaching more and more sheep. This people are reading the PR fed CNN and Yahoo News not Slashdot or Salon.
I'd think that if robots can be taught to remove "NOSPAM" from email@domain.NOSPAM.com, then they certainly already know about dropping "-subscribe" from subscription addresses.
You would be surprised what spam robots don't do. I append "-abuse" to my username, ie: bishop-abuse@foo.bar, when posting to newsgroups and I have never been sent a spam to that address with or without the -abuse tag.
Fvwm2 has been my favorite wm for some time now. It is becuase of Fvmw2's very powerfull configuration options. It did not look as pretty (until recently) as E, nor do you have the (insane) level of fine grained control. However the Fvwm2 config file (~/.fvwm2rc) is very easy to edit. I find that it is easier to quickly setup the keyboard and mouse controls under Fvmw2 then E.
I currently am using E on Debian (unstable). E is very nice on faster hardware, and I like the direction that it is going. On slower hardware I prefer Fvwm2 as I can configure it to use few resources and still have a look and interface that I like without too much work.
To the other poster: you will find the configuration file "system.fvwm2rc" is decently documented and combined with the man page you can figure out how to do most things.
Cool indeed. Now what is the point of the !! after the |. As far as I can tell they aren't needed. Works fine without them on linux 2.0 and gcc 2.7.2.3
OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and probably NetBSD all do network address translation through use of the 'natd' daemon. I have not used it as my linux IP-MASQ works and I did have the time to mess with it.
For OpenBSD atleast you do not have to recompile the kernel for NAT, firewall, and gateway type support. The GENERIC kernel has all that you need. A good incentive to switch over is the size of the OpenBSD kernel seems to be about half that of the linux kernel. It also seems to run faster on my 386dx25 8MB ram then a modern linux kernel. This is an important consideration for small, slow machines.
I like the idea of a multiple cpu case like this. I would like to put my server and firewall into one box. This looks like a less expensive solution then rack mounts for small numbers of cpus.
I wonder if we might be seeing simultaneous moderation? Two moderators who both feel the post is only worth a zero and dowgrade it at the same time. I would not be surprised considering the 1000 (or 4000?) mrderators now.
I think you are overlooking some of the consequences of a single compromised machine on a larger network. Consider this: the attacker has a slow connection to the network which limits the attacks that can be run. If the attacker can gain access to one machine on the network they now have a base to start attacks against more interesting machines on the network. Particularly if the compromised machine is not well admined to begin with a smart attacker could use it undetected for a long time.
It really depends on the setup. In your case it would seem that if your local network is compromised no one loses but you. I agree with you, you should be able to set your own policy. But I don't think that this is the case for the admin who asked the question. It sounds like a big network with a whole bunch of workstations attached to it some of which are poorly administered. This can cause many many problems for everyone on the network in denial of service attacks alone.
Best way to install Debian is through ftp or http. Install a few files to get started, select the packages you want and let debian take care of the rest.:-)
An anorak is the hooded coat worn by the inuit (native people from the far north of North America). It is basically a jacket that dosen't have a zipper all the way down its front. It might be known as a pullover jacket. Look in a camping goods catelog and you might find one.
No way man. I have ooddles more time now that I have graduated and have a real job. The trick is while at uni there was always some assignment or project to work on. Now when I go home even after a 12hr day the time is all mine. Even when I was putting in nutso hours durring the last end of quater I had more free time. Or atleast it felt more free because of the lack of assignments and stuff.
Guess this means that anyone (in Arizona) with an SGI will have to get rid of it. I wonder if it applies to network cards? Ofcourse we call that number a MAC or hardware address, not a serial number. So I guess it's alright.
Something tells me this legislation isen't going to happen.
Actually it is pretty good. In terms of delivery times it is supposed to be better then the USPS except for the Saturday delivery thing. Compared to European services it is pretty ammazing, as is the USPS. Canada has provinces larger then most European countries, and it still takes only 2-4 days to send a letter to about 99% of the conutry.
It does have big problems though. The union and management boses hate each other immensely. A colleague of mine once worked at Canada Post and said that it was the most hositle and worst environment he has ever worked in.

Yes, PR will catch up.

You don't need multiple IPs

CmdrTaco: is there any protection for this?
Seems to work as well as anything else up here in Canada. Even our consevatives are socialist.

I listen to radio on occasion. It is a good way to be exposed to new artists/music. The trick is finding a DJ whose music tastes are similar to yours.
Mind you one of the few radio stations I like is in a city many many km away. Fortunately they broadcast on real audio :-)

Best way to install Debian is through ftp or http. Install a few files to get started, select the packages you want and let debian take care of the rest. :-)
Yes. Debian unstable (aka potato) uses glibc 2.1. I upgraded from v2.0 just the other day. Painless upgrade. I didn't even have to reboot. :)
This is rather off topic...

Debian xdm does this. the entry is created in /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup and removed in /etc/X11/xdm/Xreset. It uses sessreg
What do you need to do this? I can't get it to work.
No way man. I have ooddles more time now that I have graduated and have a real job. The trick is while at uni there was always some assignment or project to work on. Now when I go home even after a 12hr day the time is all mine. Even when I was putting in nutso hours durring the last end of quater I had more free time.

Despite popular opinion suits are acceptable geek attire. (As evidence: one of the lone gunmen always wears a suit.)
Are the shelves needed to stack the computers or the geeks?
It is in the Jargon file:
