I shuldn't reply to this but... Just your typical american problem solvant: Add force and stir. If it doesn't clear out all the problems: add more force and stir.(great analogy since in this case the solvant itself smudges the stain and has to be cleaned out too(add more force...)).
Just send a warning to everybody fist. I know, send everyone a mail, something like "please clear out anything private of pornographic or political or... scanning starts next week". That kinda thing. Now you'r in the clear on both your asses. Simple eh?
No way in hell that it is faster than the Alpha(tm). Not in fp anyway int has alway been the playground of the G, PPC-60 whatever. The Alpha scored SPECint 35 and SPECfp 65 respectively thinks i. The G4 only got 20 and 20 (thinks i(maby that was the 400?)). The bus of the G4 is also silly: 100MHz when even IA32 is leaving that.
So it really crashes? And you accept this? You know it really doesn't have to be like that. An OS for your kinda work(any kind work) should really be based on a UNIXoid kernel and a sufficient GUI slapped on. I'd relly complain my ass of if something i had paid money for crashed. Even if it was only once in two weeks or something like that. The whole system going down because of an app-crash whould make me complain even more.
Not 155 bits silly. 155 digits(approx) thats _512_ bits. The thing is that it is... Well you wouldn't understand anyway. LINUX stands for: Linux Inux Nux Ux X
When credit card fims get hit. It's the customers that pay in the end. Where do you think those outrageus credit fees come from? If more numbers get stolen, fees will go upp, and it's money uotta your pocket anyway.
Yes you'r right. The same effort that was used to crack the 512bit here(that cost like zip-$ to create and use!!) whould brake any multimillion bank wault in probably less than a single DIN 8-hour day. Far less than 7-monts!!! LINUX stands for: Linux Inux Nux Ux X
Using a well known and tested algo and method is far more secure than creating your own. Spreading your data around will probably just give you a false sence of security, since the guy you send it to has to know how to get it, and that involves telling him how, somehow. I'm using a 4096-bit Diffie-Hellman public key and whenever i remember to type the swich 168-bit tripple-des secret key. Seems safe enough. Tried to create my own algo a few years back. Learned a lot. Won't trye again. Keeping the algo secret isn't half as good as having one that has been viewed and tested by the worlds leding cryptographers for decades.

I'm curently working on a kernel patch that saves your company if your building burns down. It swiches the entire buisness process over to sofware to keep it from halting while the bosses an sales people burn.
About the net card: When a net card dies you plug the cable in the other one(you have a backup pluged in right?) and run ifconfig and stuff(no reboot!). Replace the broken card @ your next sceduled kernel upgrade. LINUX stands for: Linux Inux Nux Ux X
This thing seems alot safer than those voice scramblers everyone(read: no-one) used to use, just build your own and listen to scrambled calls. All the "cracking" it took was tweaking a single trimpot.
I'll bet that 18 months from now we'll all go: "How did we ever survive with out it [XFS]?". I personally will use it the second it comes into the kernel tarball.
Are you stupid or something? "He stole my creditcard number but did nothing with it" What if your brother(or somethig) took your wallet, gave it back to you and told you that you should keep a better eye on it. Whould you insist on having him thrown in jail? LINUX stands for: Linux Inux Nux Ux X
Does the redhat i.d. have a "write config to disk" option. Now THAT whould be useful. Make one install, record the options to a disk, give the disk to the next computer you want the same, and viola! LINUX stands for: Linux Inux Nux Ux X
Why settle for a laser pointer? Why not make it a laser rangefinder? And maby a battlefield computer, you know... superelevation, leading of moving targets, wind speed, own movement, etc etc...
Another idea whould be to fill it with gasoline and put a lighter at the tip. blah blah blah TANK blah! blah SUBMARINE? blah blah...
No it's like saying: "You pay us money to let you know what bookstores have adult contents, so you can avoid them". But instead blocking entire cities just because they have some adult bookstores. And most importantly NOT telling the customer about this!
I think that there is another way of checking that a client is genuine. Just send a block that has been decrypted with one of the keys in the recieved field. In order for a client to be trusted it must also send back the key that decrypts the data do that block. Now a fake client could speed things up a miximum of 100% or 50% if there are 2 blocks or 25% if there are 3... I.e not much point in hacking the client anymore.
Now i'd just like to say that these russians did actually increase d.ned security now didin't they?

Similar thing happend in sweden a couple years ago, things have sertanly improved. Rates dived like monkeys of a burning swing. At least for long distance, sweden is just a big local-tax- zone now. Internet comes at local-tax without any subscription-fee(still has a way to go).
Well it's not _solaroid bomb_ but i guess that well be seeing a sqare space ship land on the earth. They will start raising the dead and march them at us and then rot them in front of our eyez to prove their awsome powers then they will try to tell us that this research will have to stop or we will destroy the whole universe. In the end some people find their sqare ship and go inside. There they find a table with some old radio equipment and two aliens. The aliens boast about their tecnological superiority... BLAM! they shoot the aliens then there is some moral crap in the end. We all saw that movie didin't we? |)

The problem is that there will probably not be anyone there that could even beat a single computer |).
