This survey is evidence of what good a white-hat port scans could do. You could survery what servers are being used, you could find out how many machine are still using faulty software, and you could find out percentages of different OSes. Everyone runs around with their arms in the air yelling that people who port scan are bad. They aren't all bad. Your security should be good enough to handle it anyway. Who cares if they find what ports are open, if the ones that need to be closed, are closed or stealth, and if you have all your latest security packages you have no problems. Thanks,
A while back Telstra Bigpond had the same problem, where someone had been relaying via their mail server. Telstra Bigpond is the only broadband provider in many areas of Australia, so this is a problem. I sent an angry email to their mail administrator questioning is ability as a systems administrator, and telling how to fix the problem and get it off the blacklist.
There's a new program out there working on version control. It's called Subversion and it uses the Apache Liscense. They plan to improve in areas that include versioning of directories, renames and file meta-data , atomic commits, and heaps of other stuff. Graceful handling of repeated merges is also on the boards. It will also handle binary files. I found out about it in Linux Journal Magazene, and think it's pretty cool.
Maybe the approach and landing on a comet in that movie isn't that bad afterall...
Well okay so you can't fly like they did, but if DS1 survived that close, I'd imagine that NASA could build some sort of craft that could land on those rolling hills in the middle of nucleus. Those pictures make you wonder where all the dust comes from, given the fact that the coma is the size of earth!
They better not send him up to the ISS again! Otherwise instead of a DIY table, it will be a DIY beer brewing laboratory!!! I wonder if NASA would notice the missing supplies....:-P
Sounds cool, but is it as secure as something GPG? In GPG we are using 2048 bit keys routinely, and i find it hard to figure how a key the length of your email address would be as secure. It may however become more popular that GPG because you don't have to go and download someone's private key.

It's not our fault that we're better than you!!:-P
Here's a quater kid, go download a real Linux distro....

The only thing I don't like about KDevelop is that you have to use a separate program to develop GUI's and they don't particularly intergrate well. I would like to see a KDevelop that looks and feels like Visual Basic in windows.

What's the best process to use to download it all? Apt-get task-kde?

Thanks. Well I meant I wanted a description in english. I was mainly asking about how that helps as opposed to the standard multitasking in Linux? I thought it already did this. Thanks
The whole idea of Deep Space 1 was not to do anything scientific, but to test some technologies in space. The tests worked perfectly. The comet pass is just a bonus, that they may as well take seeing the thing is already up there. It won't cost all that much to keep the tracking stuff going a few extra months.

Ummm, what Konqueror fiasco. It just works nicely, and works well with all web sites. Mozilla didn't when I tried it, and was unstable. What's so wrong with competition?
I agree. I use Wine to run MS Word and MS Excel. There's a couple of things that don't work quite right, like the lack of nice looking fonts under Wine but otherwise it's okay.
The problem is having to use NAT or Masquerading to access the net. I want all my machine to have real world outside IP addresses. To do that we need IPv6.
A Russian astronaut who holds the world record for time spent in space, stayed in space for more than a year in one go, and didn't suffer any long term side effects. I can't remember the details, but it did happen.

Why can't it run on PostgreSQL?

But could someone please tell me the difference between Real Time Linux and standard Linux? Thanks,

The Zork trilogy is good.

If you're not doing anything wrong then you don't have anything to worry about. Remember the NSA is here to help you! :-P
Yeah but what about the Linux enthusiasts that work at Microsoft? There are a large number of them.

Is there a Linux equivilant of Exchange Server?
I agree. I have Microsoft Windows Media Player working fine under Wine on my Linux machine. Streaming, everything works perfectly.
