The plain fact that the project started in 2004 and by now they can't state anything more precise doesn't make it appear very promising. The time would probably have been better invested in improving GCC.
Funny thing that mankind could survive until yesterday without the internet. Guess we're loosing that ability. By the way: Did anybody ever hear of Books, Newspapers, and the like? Nice technologies also. (Believe it or not: These devices don't need batteries.)
Using OmniWeb is like reading a very good scifi novel. I simply don't understand why not every browser has these obviously very powerful features (like snapshots and this nifty thumbnail-tab-browser.

1.) Shouldn't the normal Debian distribution be hardened?
2.) Why does the "true" random number generator combine two sources of entropy? If one source delivers true unpredictable random numbers you don't need a second source. On the other hand if you combine two sources that are predictable the result will be predictable as well. Right?! So why two sources??
He did neither break AES, nor RSA. He simply found the public key of the AirportExpress device. (At least this is what german newsticker heise reports.)
I once had the opportunity to talk with one of the founders of SAP. He was telling me that when they started their business, people considered it a really strange idea to sell a piece of standardised software. At that time software was tailored for every single customer. Some components for these unica were retrieved from huge open source code archives (open archive not open source).
they don't have to path and update very often

How does Google do it?

For example, how do you implement security patches and operating-system upgrades (much more frequent in Linux than in proprietary systems from Microsoft or Sun)
Come on, the nodes in their clusters are not desktop computers with office software on it.
The system running these machines are rather very stipped down: They only need very few applications and a very simple kernel (not many device drivers, maybe no graphic card driver,...).
Furthermore there are no local users on the the machines -> many security flaws wont affect the integrity. And remote holes in the kernel occur not very often.
And above all these cluster nodes are certaily shielded by some sort of firewall. Therefore they don't have to care for network security themselves.
All in all: I believe that you need to update such machines rather infrequent. At least not for security reasons.

He's right, the RSS-"standard" itself is nothing more than a bad joke. A really mediocre and embarrassing ad hoc hack.

This is not about logical implication but about causality. Right?
