Notice that I wasn't talking about most important organizations. I was simply pointing out that those organizations exist and in my opinion do good job (atleast EFFI.org does). Also I found that being active on that specific organization is pretty easy. haha to yourself.
This probably the easiest way to be active on these kind of matters if you are joe/jill the average user.

..seems to be very country and phone company specific. All I can say that I haven't gotten any sms spam. At least here in Finland I can deny all such messages.
If I only knew how to I would make a site where people could mark their country/phone company that sends spam so we could have some statics and it would help people to choose their phone company.
This seems to be frequent question. I'd say that you don't need to compile new kernel until the old one doesn't have the xyz feature that you need and/or you feel that the new kernel is far more reliable and faster.
In other words: some still use 2.2 series because there is no reason (for them) to upgrade.
Remember that you can use modules to get that xyz feature..
GPL'd source guarantees that nothing lives in your kernel that you cannot examine as much as you like for backdoors.
Yet this examination has to be done somebody else, by larger group of people who have great amount of knowledge and experience on these matters. It is simply not "possible" to this guy/girl to examine the kernel.
Besides it is not not a easy task look for backdoors etc.
Does anybody know that this kind of examination has been taken place by independent group?
I have been using 5100 to provide my internet connection through GPRS connection. My phone company has been DNA.
For some reason it seems to jam the connection every now and then. Still the GPRS connection sign stays even when trying to disconnect in these cases. I have tried this in Linux and Windows XP. I dont think that this is because DNA but rather because of the phone's software. I'm thinking of getting it's software (v. 3.02) upgraded ASAP.
Making connection using infraded device was pain in Linux. It really sucked. I managed to get the connection working with wvdial. There simply wasn't enough instructions.
..not only because the graphics are amazing but because it's unnatural to girl be so skinny and still have so big breasts. This only puts more and more pressure on girls. Not good when bulimia and other eating disorders are very common. I hope that we would stop adoring skinny girls. I'm not saying that being fat is good, it serious risk for health.
Unfortunately, because the NVidia drivers aren't OSS, most distributions don't install them.
As I understand they want to make a statement here, somewhat same as mp3 support with red hat. I would hope that they would include some that none OSS stuff on a different cd and the installer program would say that if you really really want to use none OSS stuff then click here. Happy users achieved, statement mostly remained.
Since these name (Firebird, Thunderbird, etc.) are only codenames from what i understand..
Manager: Well I certainly think that codenames are needed in the open source business! How else we are going to protect our products if everything else is so open??!?
..I'm pretty happy with Mozilla 1.2.1 that came along with RH. There's no radical improvements that would effect greatly on my surfing experience. Maybe 1.4 final or the 1.5 serie will something that I will waste small bandwidth on.
Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the work that Mozilla development team has done. Thanks For Them!
As they always do. I've tested the game on a variety of hardware, with the majority of the time spent on a sub-2Ghz Athlon with a GeForce4 4600..
I doesn't say that the screenshots were taken with that hardware but I suspect it. So you would need pretty good hardware.
But if you prevent your client returning the results then after time the package will be sent to someone other than you. It wouldn't work because their data your crunching. I don't know if the results are yours until you return them but they can always crunch it again..
This is what Linux really needs: games that run natively on Linux not trough an emulator (wine).
Still, Id prefer getting the game on Linux at the same time when it is released on Windows. For that, we need to send well written comments to companies and do pr job at games official message boards. Ask for Linux games at store. You never know, someday you just might get the hottest Go-Kill-Em-All game on Linux.
From a geek POV, its not that big of a deal, but to some boss type making decisions on something he has only a vague grasp of (bigger version numbers are better than smaller ones) It is important, and if somewhere he reads that the change from 2.whatever he is using to 3.0 doesnt include anything of signifigance, he/she will then be dissapointed in Linux's development.
This goes back to that that bosses really don't look at the kernel version numbers. They'll look the distro version numbers and if you too look'em, they are going nuts.. 9 (ie. mandrake). It's just sad that some people thing bigger == better os/distro. Obviously it's because they don't any better way to "measure" the distro/os but in that case they shouldn't decide the os.

Get them food and basic education that lasts at least 5 years.
Then after those have been given for everybody we can consider WiFi and computers.
This is just plain stupid.

You forgot modules and lot's of pain & sweat and also reboots..;)
When is it worth upgrading kernel versions?

Other than that I have been most pleased with it.

But yeah, amazing!
Does he copy all the messages that he sends to sent folder?
Must have a quite large hd..
..but doesn't work completely as previous posts has pointed out.
I think that it would be better to use a camera and iris authentication but dont let anyone to get a closeup picture of you.. ;)

What we really need is one coin per possible amount of change...
What we really need is eletronical money on card or etc. which doesn't identify the user.

So, most of us should be able to send email, right?
But if you prevent your client returning the results then after time the package will be sent to someone other than you. It wouldn't work because their data your crunching. I don't know if the results are yours until you return them but they can always crunch it again..
so we want the businessman's friends and family?

It seems that when the OS/distribution is hard to install it's usually more secure.
Windows - easy install, crappy security
Linux - medium installation, somewhat secure
OpenBSD - You can install it?
So, will Trusted Debian include even poorer and harder installation than normal Debian?
eventhough nobody posts comments to this post.
