I work for a university that does oceangraphic research. The radio connections, when radio is used - its mostly satelite, are always encrypted. The machines that aquire the data here aren't hooked up to the internet. The only way somebody is going to access that data is if they break down the door to the server room and log on to the data stream machine. Even then.. it's only recieving data. Of course if you really wanted to hack one you could just get the coords and go physically hack the boui itself.... not like they are anything more than a floating hunk of metal.
Microsoft (almost) made it close to an original deadline? Whats next... Linus will turn out to be secretly controlled by evil corporate overlord masters?
.. FUD! Not only are patents not currently legal, but there aren't even any patents! These people are afraid to deploy something that might possibly conflict with a patent application. This is just plain silly. Why is it that the only time politics has to be involved with the choice of a software product is when the software product isn't one sold by Microsoft?
When will all of this be stopped? How can a company hold thousands of patents on software. Is anything that unique? What does it even matter, they are closed source. Nobody can steal code from them, but they can look at OSS and say "thats our idea."
How many legitimate "offers" have you actually gotten via email? I'd like to see the person who signs up for porn and conducts business using the same email address.
This is the way the government works. I wouldn't be suprised if our government is currently pursuing an equivalent system. The government makes the carriers (backbone, isps) pay for a right-of-way on the physical cabeling through their districts. They also have to pay large amounts of taxes on using this infastructure.
With wireless the government loses out on any direct profit from communication systems, because where the simplicity of wireless comes in it also brings a giant headache for them. I expect to hear something along these lines happening any time in the near future.
CAPPS just plain doesn't work. I am a privacy advocate and have sent several letters to my congressmen and representatives apposing CAPPS, but there are graver issues involved here. Beyond the fact that the government will have extremely large neural networked databases built on people to be used for "national security" and to "keep people safe" it actually makes air travel less safe from attack!
Check out the Carnival Booth paper put out by MIT. It is long and technical, but well worth the read. I would much rather go back to the private security agencies instead of this bullshit TSA no-hs-education-required-we-dont-do-background-che cks-on-our-employess-for-your-safety scam. Repeat after me, TSA and CAPPS has helped weaken security.
For those who are not new to php, but wan't a good primer for PHP 5 I would definatly recommend this book by George Schlossnagle. Advanced PHP Programming was recently reviewed here and it was upon reading that review that I decided to pick up a copy. It serves as an introduction to OOP to those who are unfamiliar and does a good job in covering the specific mechanics of how things operate in PHP. The book even includes some good info on some Zend Engine hacking.
Where's the controversy? They got thrown into court by Microsoft, the ones who claim trademark to Windows and every likeness, and they were pressured to get rid of the name Lindows. I'm by no means a supporter of Microsoft, but making a product that looks and feels exactly like another and even has a simliar sounding product name is wrong no matter what side of the OS fence you're on. I was always tought that two wrongs don't make a right.
I think this would be a wonderful thing to be launched in the US. Name brands and recognition are what get products sold here and Dell is the Marlboro (McDonalds, Coca-Cola, etc.) of the desktop computer world. If anybody has the power to get the linux desktop market started, because lets face it linux's current market is mainly database and web application, it is most certainly Dell.
What's to stop somebody from taking the luggage, going to the restroom, and just taking out what they deem valuable? Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather have a system like that in place than today's 'snatch and go' scam.
Make sure you add/. to that filter if you ever want your kids to grow up to be productive human beings. Otherwise they'll be just like the rest of us, lurking around until the next item is posted. I've got some work to go not do now...

You must understand how the mind works in order to control it. Who better to control the minds of the youth of the world other than RIAA/MPAA! Their smash new hit by "Some Pop GrouP" was number 1 on the charts for 3 years. Why? Listen to it and you'll find out.

Classic gaming has been huge for years. It's unfortunage what happened with the "Great Arcade Flop" in the late 80's. If you are a real geek there is no doubt you've heard of CGE or the Classic Gaming Expo. They are boasted as the "worlds [...] largest event paying tribute to the people, systems and games of yesteryear."
If you are a fan of the Ghost in the Shell movie than you need to get your hands on the series. Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex is one of the most well produced anime series I've seen in a while. You don't need to be some total "Anime Freak ^_^" to watch these. Definatly some great stuff in here and better background on the GitS story.
Microsoft has been spreading FUD for ages. Now its just getting funneled through other parties. Who cares anyway? Any smart admin knows that Linux/OSS is the way to go when it comes to getting the job done.
How many small business owners do you see in the market for linux servers when they are going to be the admins themselves? None.
Safeguard Against Privacy Invasions Act - Directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to prohibit the transmission of a spyware program to a covered computer (one used by a financial institution or the Federal Government) by means of the Internet, unless the user of the computer expressly consents to such transmission in response to a clear and conspicuous request or through an affirmative request for such transmission.

Aye. Generally speaking, the destructive ones don't care about much of anything other than how many zombies are on their botnet.

YES! A hit title that runs on linux right out of the box. Thank you ID Software!
