Which is quite nice except for the monthly fee. Nice categorization of apps and descriptions in one place.
Other advantages:
It installs in 10 minutes. It recognizes almost any hardware. It allows you to browse your local network immediately as well as access the Web. It's user interface is friendly while still allowing access to the power of linux through the terminal.
But I would never use it b/c I love Gentoo. But that would be impossible for most users to install.
I looked at their site some time ago and it is very unprofessional (no big deal) with sections that say such and such goes here like they aren't ready for real time. There was not even contact information. Also, they mention that all the coding is being done by some university. So it sounds like they have no employees, they can't even create a decent site but they have the holy grail. I am very suspicious...
You also have to remember that encryption in and of itself probably garners the attention of the NSA. If you want to get the NSA to monitor actively then just continually encrypt messages to and from a country like Pakistan from the US. If your options are maybe they listen passively and can tell what your covert langauge means OR encrypt communications and let them notice you and monitor everything (taps, whole nine yeards) cleartext doesn't sound as bad. Of course, steganography and covert channels are safer "in the clear" but we need to catch the newbie terrorists to get the "real" terrorists.
I have been a cingular customer for some time and their coverage is quite terrible. Long stretches of highway without a signal. I live in the middle of a city of 600K people but I can barely get a signal in my home. The customer service people said something about brick houses and then I tuned out b/c that is absurd... I have friends who can always get a signal in places where I cannot (with Verizon and Sprint).
There is security and then there is security features. SELinux is designed with specific security features in mind - the main one is a flexible way to manage access control based on the FLASK architecture. You will be able to implement, at the OS level, RBAC, MAC, & DAC. So, it is security enhanced but some of the enhancements are to facilitate the use of "better" access control mechanisms such as RBAC and DAC not just better code checking or something.
Hashes are designed to prevent collisions. No two files will reproduce the same hash. Change a single bit and the filter no longer works. A better "fingerpring" technology would look for similarity not exactness. Hashing can help but not by hashing the entire file.
XML simply isn't enough. Structure != Meaning. Meaning must be inserted somewhere by someone. Trying to interpret HTML/natural language to form structured documents is a daunting task.
If you want real meaning then the data needs to be described or translated into a meaningful form like RDF (yes represented by xml) when it is created so that intellegent agents such as this can *understand* the data.
RDF uses triples (thing graphs) to describe relationships making use of URIs:
Subject--Predicate--Object...etc.
Now think about how to merge all this information - with well formed rules RDF documents merge great:
with traditional structured xml the merged docs would not be well-formed. Now they can be and XML can be generated for standard xml rendering.
Take a look at the Semantic Web
Kevin Mitnick would've been happy to have this I guess. No Kinko's necessary. Seriously, what are the legal responsibilities of opening your DSL connection up to anyone? What to the ISPs require? Is their a good faith expectation that you would monitor this before you "resell" it? Of course, IANAL but could you reasonably expect a lawsuit someday?

Hmm. You couldn't think of anything to add after 3 years? See exact same comments on this amazon review
This may be great for a few high profile applications that users are willing to support. But the Globus Toolkit OGSA project has higher ambitions OGSA and arguably a better chance of making a difference in the next generation of the WWW.
Think Bioinformatics, Genomics, Financial Modeling, Crypto: computers are the tools but the heavy lifting is the mathematical concepts. If you have strong math skills AND can apply them to real world problems you will always have a job.
to hear Google's take on how to get there. I assume he/they imagine the web evolving to something like Tim Berners-Lee's idea of the Semantic Web where meaning is embedded. I think we have a long way to go...
what would be the use if you need hits from a webpage to do this? even if you had thousands of webpages (impractical) doing this you still have to get people to go to the pages.
parasitic computing and distributed systems like SETI don't require users to do anything. let us not forget that the checksum isn't the only possibility to get a computer to do calculations unknowingly (and without installed software). look at routers, ssl, etc. In combination, these seem much more useful for exploitation b/c contact between parasite and host is initiated by the coder of the parasite. anyway.....

No this lets you run win32 apps on Linux Not Windows on Linux. Maybe you are thinking of CoLinux.

I bought 2x256 PC3200 from crucial for ~$82 a few months ago. Now 1x256 PC3200 sells on their site for 70 bucks!
Ok. everybody is outsourcing. They are saving money. but does anyone here have any experience with the QUALITY of the product (code, reps) etc?

I lost some meaning somehow merging docs: merge two different docs and you preserve the meaning of what a Person is.

I'd worry more about the intelligence community sniffing around. It's hard to get off a list like that.
