Another way to protect the swapfile it to encrypt it with a key randomly generated at each startup and never saved (or swapped). When you shut down, the key is lost, and the swapfile is effectively randomized. Though this makes swapping slower, the time needed for crypto is not noticable under modern CPUs, and it dosen't incur a long and possibly more noticable delay while the hdd overwrites the swap file multiple times, and is more secure in the event that the hdd is confiscated.
Perhaps the ultimate solution would be to encrypt data as it is entered, before it is saved into RAM, and arrange for programs that use it to decrypt it first.
The key would need to be in RAM for the data to be decrypted, thus negating the usefullness of encryption.
Operating systems such as Windows and Linux have no facility for stopping data being written to the hard drive. So Garfinkel reckons the best strategy is to ensure that data is kept on RAM for the shortest possible time.
NAME mlock - disable paging for some parts of memory
SYNOPSIS #include <sys/mman.h>
int mlock(const void *addr, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION mlock disables paging for the memory in the range starting at addr with length len bytes. All pages which contain a part of the specified mem- ory range are guaranteed be resident in RAM when the mlock system call returns successfully and they are guaranteed to stay in RAM until the pages are unlocked by munlock or munlockall[...]
Sheesh, whatever happened to checking one's facts?
The find command has a space between / and '*.bak'. This makes it search the root directory for everything, and feed it to rm -rf, which proceeds to delete all files on the hard drive. More likely to do the desired effect would be:
No, I merely want a hotkey or whatever to copy/paste to/from the clipboard buffer, while leaving select/middle-click alone. Ctrl-C dosen't work as expected, obviously:)
However if it can keep all of my bit torrent downloads in 1 easy to manage window with universal bandwidth management it may be worth it for just that.

Is Swap Necessary?

Only 4Gb can be mapped at any given time. WIth various extensions, up to 16Gb physical RAM can be used (with a performance hit), and swap is limited only by the OS. However, no single user-level program can use more than 4Gb of it at any one time (barring IPC shared memory or other tricks)
Bittorrent does not cover the same needs as ftp. Bittorrent is good for serving to many users simeltaneously, but needs a seperate client (and the client would not be able to use the same download interface as the rest of mozilla, due to seeding mode). FTP is good for uploading to a web site, or downloading without a seperate client which people might not be familiar with. Also, it does not require a seeder at all times to maintain the swarm.

Freecache link. This should hopefully be faster. Anyone have a torrent?
Try screwing things up, then figuring out how to fix it.
In Gentoo, depending on your keymap, the Menu key (if present) will switch to the previous tty, including X. The two windows keys cycle through ttys.
Alt+f7 is enough - Ctrl is only needed when you're already in X.
It's misdirection, nothing more.

I'm sure there's a reason why people think this. It's probably my fault that I don't know it, though.
giFT isn't a GUI - it's a p2p network daemon - you run it, it connects to p2p networks, then a seperate client program (I use apollon) presents a GUI, communicating with giftd via unix sockets. Or possibly TCP, not sure. Poisoned is a Mac OS X GUI for giFT.
Is there a way to get xterm to use the Clipboard selector, instead of the Primary selector?
That's not stealing - it's copyright infringement. When will people learn?
Any chance of the ed2k protocol support being ported to giFT? Or, alternately, fasttrack being added to shareaza...

Well, it's certainly been raining a lot where I am.
Don't the cable modems have a processor for SNMP, etc? You can put the ACL there - it only needs to know about one customer's settings that way.

I feel sorry for the technical staff. I thought we were supposed to be against spamming?
