I have heard people say that the keyless remotes for cars, when just out of range of the car, will work if you look at the car and hold the remote up to your temple.
This seem plausible? And what in the world would make something like this work?
How have you approached investigating/researching Linux and other FOSS and their pros/cons?
Did you just install a RedHat box and play with it for a few hours? Have you installed multiple different distros (and/or applications) and worked with them each for (at least) a few days? Somewhere in the middle? None of the above?
Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. Please encourage others to do so as well.
While I make no defense of this move, do you think Bush actually made this decision himself? While his web PR people should have their employment questioned, I seriously doubt the President himself has much to do with this. You cannot micro-manage like that and expect to get anything done.
This worries me a bit. I personally cannot endorse the use of the RPM system globally until it more stringently ensures package validity.
The RPM system has virtually no assurance of GPG key identification. Basically, if a mirror (or any website that serves RPMs) pushes out malicious RPMs, the GPG check by the RPM installer gives NO warning if the RPM isn't encoded at all, and only a passing warning if it doesn't match the RH public key.
This is a potentially huge hole in all RPM based distros, as was demonstrated to me recently by a manipulated RH RPM which, when installed, deleted the iptables rules file and various other things. Yet, the RPM system barely complained about the GPG mismatch and installed anyway (without telling what it did either).
If we're moving toward cross-distro RPM system, it is multiplying the potential problem. I think this needs to be addressed before such a system is adopted by other distros.

What about non-aired events like skeet shooting or the like? Will they block those as well?
