Although SELinux is a step in the right direction it's still basically a system of ACLs. It still suffers from the problem of the confused deputy. I think proponents of object-capability based security are correct in their thinking. Some interesting stuff going on in this respect is the E programing language.
I don't think the 5 day grace is in place for the registrants. But more likely the registrars. Mistaken registration with a typo, credit card fraud, etc. The fact that some dishonest registrars are then passing this courtesy to domain squatters is an unfortunate side effect.
Your software is only useful if poeple can legally use it. Businesses won't touch it if there is a threat that some powerful multinational is going to squash them because they don't have a patent license. Does anonymity really help in this instance?
If clients I really like tf, and you can use it on windows through cygwin (precompiled binaries can be found at http://www.druware.com/tf).
A niche client that I also found cool is smm++ (http://freshmeat.net/projects/smmmudclient /?topic _id=86%2C84%2C87%2C80). It is basically designed for mapping a mud, so once you've got the layout I wouldn't bother with it, but it seems kind of cool for getting a feel for a mud.
A client that a few people who play on the same mud as me is called simplemu (http://simplemu.onlineroleplay.com/) and they seem to like it better than zmud.
You get the same thing on windows. I do support for windows and frequently tell people to RTFM, not in those words, but something along the lines of I have no idea what application foo does, why don't you try googling for it etc.
Basically my point is that windows has it's arcane voodoo just as much as linux. People in large corporations get trained on their internal systems such as billing systems, databases etc. etc. Most of the problems non-technical people seem to have with a new user interface is a fear of looking around, they're told to click on file and open in their training, so they expect it to be there.
I don't feel that OpenBSD's strength is that they are doing something different. It shares a large base of code with the other BSDs and is about as *nix as you can get. The strength of OpenBSD is that the maintainers are actively seeking out and squashing bugs. Even with all the linux advocates out there trumpeting the many eyes theory it doesn't beat a core team that spend the majority of their time just finding bugs.
Copyright infringement is not theft. Copyright is a necessary evil to make sure artists and the people making all the shit we want to see are able to live.
I agree that in the current system it is more morally acceptable to buy your media, but given a change in the way artists were supported (which is sorely needed in my opinion), I would see no harm in unrestricted copying of the content we all love to watch.
This is a great way to make a 1 time pad. Just put a random bunch of 1s and 0s on 2 discs with this tech. Then when you have a sensitive message to send you encode it with this disc, which then self destructs after 2 days. If the time could be made shorter it would be good. But it would be pretty obvious if someone had peeled off the protective layer that your message had been compromised. The only danger would be if the media was somehow readable after the rusting process with a special treatment or the like. I guess you could always make doubly sure by damaging the disk further.

I agree, aptitude is great.
synaptic isn't too bad, however it is X frontend to apt rather than curses so not quite as flexible.

Surely it wouldn't be alliteration, but anumeration (even though there is no such word).
