I am not suggesting that the Chairmen read Slashdot. But with all the little digs, and jabs at Microsoft, I'm sure it rubs off on to people working in IT at these companies, and just makes their pro-Open Source arguments sound religious.
"But, Big Boss, we should move to Linux cos NTFS gets more fragmented than HFS."
"Do you have any proof for this? Where did you read about it?"
"Erm, no, but I'm sure it was well researched..."
No. Maybe just a little older and wiser than most of the kiddies on here.
Do you know how stupid the community looks when chairmen of companies look at comments like that? There are slick suits from Microsoft, and dumb comments on Slashdot. Hmm. Hard choice, that.
Slashdot wouldn't be Slashdot without an un-backed-up dig at Microsoft, would it? Come on people, there's enough wrong with Microsoft that has evidence to back it up without cheap, snide shots like that.
On an alternative note, maybe we'd all be creating more secure systems if we ran all our internet facing boxes without firewalls. Then we'd have to rely on minimal, latest version services running as non root users in chroots, using Deny From All rules and good passwords to block access. You know, the sort of thing that people **should** do anyway, but that they don't bother to because they're behind firewalls.
Whaaaa? Sure, they can monitor every router in the world...
I'm not trying to protect the receiver, only the sender. If you look at lawsuits, they target the guys with the files. And anyway, you could choose any host you like that returned ICMP.
Anonymous peer to peer? Send ICMP packets padded with the data to google.com/news.bbc.co.uk/any host that returns ICMP echo requests, with spoofed source addresses so the packets bounce back to the person that you're transferring the file to. End result - they have no idea who you are. Couple with a system for saying "I would like file X, and my IP address is w.x.y.z", and you have a untraceable file transfer mechanism.
Discuss.
Listening to three other people's incessant mindless babbling over their mobiles for a few hours is a good way to get nothing done, and really angry about it...
I'm guessing their reasoning for banning your mobile is just common courtesy...
Is anyone else on here amazed at how much people (who seem to be mainly from the US) moan about people using phones, with a holier-than-thou attitude? You know why you don't like listening to people talk on mobiles? Because you're nosey, and you can't hear the other end of the conversation.
Live and let live, I say.
Hmmm. Reminds me of the dyslexic DNS admin we had at the last company I'd work for. DNS is one of the few important things that needs to be completely accurate, wouldn't you say?
Somewhere near the BBC. I think more Americans should read what the rest of the world is saying. American media is reknowned for being amazingly biased and blinkered.
Don't mod a post redundant if you haven't checked the time stamps.
Redundant doesn't just mean time. It can mean something that's obvious. EG, in a story about IBM suing someone, a post that says "IBM is a big US company" would be redundant, i.e. unnecessary, superflous.
JPEG JFIF doesn't support animation either, but we never hear people bringing that up?
Erm, maybe because there is an image format already available (GIF) that fills that niche. If GIF didn't exist, I'm sure there'd be an AJPEG (Animated JPEG) pretty quickly.
Why doesn't Gentoo detect that I already have gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5 installed when I emerge the latest, and just download the patch, make clean the tree, and merge the patch, and upon success, update the package ver?
The main secret is to search for a certain phrase, and then analyse the top results. This tells you things such as if the phrase boldened up to 3 times in the page helps, but maybe, for example, if it is boldened more than 3 times, it isn't counted so effectively. The title, the META tags, the page, H1-5 tags, bold etc, all count. But you have to work out how many you can put before Google thinks you're just trying to boost your ratings.

So you shush two people when they are talking next to you? You're some Captain Friendly, aren't you?

Or different lengths of blackness per document distributed. That way you'd identify the leak.
I'm not trying to break the encryption. I'm just looking at the ciphertext, and reading my own stuff into it. :)
Time to run mirrorselect -i on all my boxes then. And yeah, I do just use one. How's that for redundancy?!

Get a divorce! Where do your priorities lie, man?! :)
Just pad out your pages with lots of hidden text.
:)
<!--
<?php
for ( $i = 0 ; $1 < 5000000 ; $i++ )

print "a";
}

Hey presto. All your pages are > 5MB!

Animation? Or do you not class this as a good feature?

Hmm - and I'm off to Denmark at the end of this month. Bet your life I won't be just taking pictures of the ladies though.. :)
Hey! How about a quick critique of my first very poor shots?
I am humbled in the presence of greatness. Please forgive me, Father.
Is it? My Slashdot ID is lower than yours, so I am right. Take that, Windows-using infidel.

I sent Alan Cox and Linus an email with some of my ideas for this. They didn't reply. I expect we'll see it in 2.6.8 or so. :)
