You want to send a message to MS, RIAA, etc? Don't download their products. Don't buy their products. Don't have anything to do with them. Then someone else won't be buying MS Office to read that Word document you just sent them.
The problem is that people are not using standardized tools. An ASCII file I write on my computer can still be read by a 10 year old computer. If you have used 1 visual editor, you can pretty much use any of them (with the exception of people freakin' out at VI). Try and do the same with MS word for example. It's not a standard. Their document format and editor changes more often than most *nix geeks underwear, yet that is what people are basing their office systems on. Use a simple system that does what is needed without a gig's worth of bells and whistles, and people won't have a hard time figuring it out.
What if all the "really important" email you get is GPG signed, and your spam filter passes anything that is GPG signed by someone you trust. Then not only is the important email passed, but it can be verified as well. For unsigned messages, regular filtering techniques could be used.

This question and the parent are both retared. How would KM know this? And why don't you just read some security lists if you want to know?
sure, you can ride a bike on the road here..... if you want to die. very soon. and painfully. seriously, in most cities riding a bike on the street is suicide.
Nah, most of the weird loops you hear from radiohead come from things like the RS integrator analog synth (used in idioteque), the korg chaoss pad (everything in its right place), or any of their array of guitar pedals (in particular the Digitech WhammyWah and the Line6 DL4 delay modeller).
This is nothing but a big pile of BS.
1)It wouldn't work.
NATs would be screwed up. Proxies would be screwed up. All kinds of things break.
2)Its impractical. MS is not going to rewrite their TCP stack just for IE. IE uses winsock just like everything else does.
3)It's not even signifcant. Opening up a connection doesn't take very long. Besides, connections can be left open until they aren't needed anymore (which is probably what this guy was seeing).
Actually, if you _really_ read the article you would see that this is clearly the case. The trojan is in the configure system, but it also modifies the sniffer code so that it won't be detected.
Only if that's the mirror you are set up to use. In any case, however, the md5sums would catch it (the md5sums in Gentoo are of the non-trojaned version, luckily). This actually exactly how the trojan was discovered, if you read the article.
The circuit board for the clock is not mounted in any way. The power is coming in on a seperate AC line. Even if this was a good idea, it was done very poorly. And wouldn't it be much better to put in an LCD and use lcdproc instead?
Not if your encryption takes thousands of decades to crack. But yes, a wireless system should be treated as untrusted, just like anything that goes over the internet.
Motorola's digital DNA is their fuzzy logic engine. So in this case, the name does somewhat suit the product. Only slightly though, as fuzzy logic doesn't mean AI.
Well the whole point about the kernel is that you only compile in what you need. If you want a stripped down version, you can easily build it that way.

IE and MS-Office? Do you really think this guy wants that?

WOW! I bet this thing would make an awesome subwoofer!

no. they still sold it to you. if you paid for it, it's yours to what you want with.
good thing there is absolutely no way to tell the speed the car is going without GPS.
Just because its not 4/4 with bass on 1&3 and snare on 2&4 doesn't mean that its not rhythmic.

Conclusion: Should never have made it to
in case you haven't noticed its kinda hard to buy an x86 laptop without windows. and have fun building your own.
then just save a known-good copy of your /var/db/pkg. You can check md5sums agains it with the "qpkg" tool from the gentools ebuild.
I'm pretty sure the Bible doesn't say anything about pi. In anchient times, however, it was widely accepted to be exactly 3.
why would you use the very latest kernel version on machines that need to be rock-solid anyway?
and all these gnome/kde users are wondering why the g/k keys on their keyboards are worn out...

should really be modded -infinity, flamebait.
So strip it. Performance now boosted.
