Panda Antivirus seems to do fairly well at removing spyware. It even removed the latest versions of Cool Web Search that Symantec, Lavasoft, and Spybot wouldn't even touch (and yes that is with the latest definitions).
Acid2 is a test page for web browsers published by The Web Standards Project (WaSP). It has been written to help browser vendors make sure their products correctly support features that web designers would like to use. These features are part of existing standards but haven't been interoperably supported by major browsers. Acid2 tries to change this by challenging browsers to render Acid2 correctly before shipping.
Acid2 is a complex web page. It uses features that are not in common use yet, because of lack of support, and it crams many tests into one page. The aim has been to make it simple for developers and users to check if a browser passes the test. If it does, the smiley face on the left will appear. If something is wrong, the face will be distorted and/or shown partly in red.
The purpose of this document is to explain how Acid2 works. The markup behind Acid2 is peculiar in that it attempts, on one single page, to test many different features. We do not envision or recommend that normal Web pages should be written this way, but it is appropriate for a test page. At first sight, the source code is hard to understand, but the guided tour offered in this document will explain it in some detail. The guide assumes a technical understanding of HTML, CSS and PNG.
If you look at the email headers you can often times tell which IP address it was sent from. Domain spoofing just implies changing the From and/or the Reply-To header.
To be honest I like what Gentoo has done with the KDE 3.4 ebuilds. They basically split up the packages so that you can only install what you want and leave all of the fluff out.
I'm sure the same drone will see to it that the "fickle spinning disc of death" from the Japanese models will be renamed "unannounced projectile gaming episodes".
how do you deal with the slowdown from emerge compilation? Do you compile binary packages off production servers? Is this at all a hassle? I'm curious.
I know that there are several options to reduce the overhead on the production platform. Here are two of them that I can think of off the top of my head:
Using distc to utilize multiple computers during the compiling process
Setting up a stage platform that is identical to the production platform and then compiling the sources as packages for later deployment
I believe that some religious education is important to a society as a whole. It provides for a moral base (at least most religions).
Political education is important, but so is the dire need of not teaching one side of the political arena (democrat vs. republican, right vs. left, etc.). It should be taught to think the arguments of both sides out and draw your own conclusions.
I believe that we need to get rid of the idea of "weeder" courses. Many of the first year classes in college were unbarable because the teachers were told to weed out people who would not enjoy a career in that field.
Perhpas I am just interested in seeing Windows evolve rather than just re-inventing itself again and again. Perhaps I'm now thinking of different operating systems
The main problem that microsoft faces is compatibility. They have to try to make most of the programs from previous versions of Windows work with the latest versions of software.
Linux has some of these issues, but not as many limitations. Linux binaries often require miniumum versions of libraries so that it can use the latest features and if an old program doesn't work it can often be recompilied so that it will work with the different libraries.
Just what we need. All these hotrodders and riceboys that soup up their cars to bounce or sound like they go faster than they're going, and now we have the manufacturers participating in a slightly backhanded way.
What? You mean that dealer lied to me when he said those stickers gave an extra 5 horse power?
For some reason when I first read the title I thought they were integrating sun block with the email tracking system. I must be tired or just stupid this morning.
This is proof that Windows is easier to install than Linux-- obviously, Linux users are too scared to reinstall their OS every month, whereas for Windows, it's a joy!

Linux isn't too far behind thanks to projects like Wine.

5% state sales tax apply to Internet downloads.
So 5% of free is what again?It stores meta data along with all your files, so ... you have to spend more money on a bigger hard drive! Yay!
Isn't Microsoft just trying to make it easier for hackers and viri to find your financial information and other files with interesting words in them?
Microsoft sits on a treasure chest, namely 10 years of bugfixed, known-to-be-working code
Yeah, now if only they'd release it.
But who would want the source code to functions designed for a 16 bit platform?
I'm sure the same drone will see to it that the "fickle spinning disc of death" from the Japanese models will be renamed "unannounced projectile gaming episodes".
Or how about "force feedback"?
Using distc to utilize multiple computers during the compiling process
Excuse me. Its distcc.
I know that there are several options to reduce the overhead on the production platform. Here are two of them that I can think of off the top of my head:
Just make sure their credit card details are sent before their hard drive is formatted...
This is ActiveX, in some situations you can get it yourself.
Konqueror appeared to work correctly for me. Did anyone else have a problem with it?
I'm running kde 3.3.1.
You know what they say about consulting work.
Crap! I'm over the limit.

'I would guess they have something to hide in the source code, as in "stolen" code, and perhaps quite a few "bits" of it.'
I would imagine that is part of it, but also what is the potential for new onslaught of viruses?
SPF To Be Integrated With MS 'Caller ID' System
For some reason when I first read the title I thought they were integrating sun block with the email tracking system. I must be tired or just stupid this morning.
Woops. Its 'emerge -UuD world'. 'emerge -UupD world' is if you want to view all of the packages that the system will upgrade.
Just emerge sync and then emerge -UupD world
That should get everything.
I use Gentoo so it takes me a month to reinstall.
Correct me if I am wrong, but Cisco posted the security advisories with some fixes on this subject.
