  1. Re:So no "fair dealing" or "fair use" in Belgium? on Google Loses Cache-Copyright Lawsuit in Belgium · · Score: 2, Informative

    You could publish in an open-access journal. Alternatively, 90% of the publishers now accept that you put your articles (pre or post prints, depending on the case) in an institutional repository. Does your university provide one?

  2. Re:MOD PARENT UP + read my insightful comments ;-) on W32.Sobig.E@mm Worm Spreading Rapidly · · Score: 1

    I just played 5 minutes to write a small python script that extracts 100 email addresses from an account. If someone has an idea for an interesting payload...

    This would enable the Hurd team to release the next version at last... (their filesystem server actually maps a complete partition to mount it)

  4. Re:Smatch on Using Redundancies to Find Errors · · Score: 1

    God, I wish I had found this project before !

    Are the gcc people interested in including this feature in the official gcc ? This would provide a "standard" distribution, which would be quite nice...

    A second is that it's probably not really in a fit state for sharing as yet (the tool is not the goal of the research, after all).

    This is not a valid reason, I know a lot of people (including me) that would be happy to improve his research code into something useful for the community at large. I remember a paper describing a gcc extension to write semantic checks (for instance, reenable interrupts after disabling them). This program found an amazing number of bugs in the linux kernel. I really wish I could have something like that at hand!

    Control a running program ?

  7. Re:Odd on X-Force Changes Vulnerability Disclosure Policy · · Score: 1

    Maybe they make a difference between a vendor answering "Oh, you are right, give us 30 days to release a patch !", and "This is a feature !"

    (but I see your point)

    Excellent news, this is exactly what I planned to deploy ! As it is for my mother-in-law, I need to be careful :-)

    I'm interested. How much RAM do you have ? I must install something similar (web, emails) on a Cyrix P166+ with 32Mb... :-{

    No no, don't say that or they will need to rename the project !

    BTW, I use Space.app to have several virtual desktops. Do you know sth better ? (I don't like loosing the focus when I switch desktops)

    I don't know about the XBox, but in the case of Pd, the idea was to let the Secure CPU process the crypto operations internally. Therefore, no key on the bus...

    What else in the distro could you call "cool"? And is it really that "cool"?

    Maybe the great care with which they ensure that things work well together? (policy to manage common desktop icons, documentation, fonts,...)

    Maybe the parent poster referred to active attacks like the ones you can setup with tools like ettercap...

  20. Re:Thinking out loud? on Why Hal Will Never Exist · · Score: 1

    I would say this confirms the hypothesis: usually, you speak out loud some parts of the problem your brain is focused on. But try to speak about something unrelated (like answering a trivial question, or telling the computer to go to the next page), and your concentration usually decreases... (at least, mine does :-))

    Well, the DNA in the gamets also suffers from the same aging, but still produces a correct genetic material. There is maybe a problem using older cells, but it's probably more complicated than that...

    but that's not up to me, or to any of us as individuals, it's up to the market as a whole.

    ...which eventually is made of individuals that need to decide what they want. It's so easy to just say, it's the market, it's the nature, it's fate... Do what you think is good (in that case, spend money in this distribution, or on anything else), but stop pretending the truth comes from some upper omniscient entity.
