In U.S patents are valid for 17 years. Even if E.U accepts software patents isnt it a long time for a industry like software engineering where patents kills innovation . So if EU accepts to apply software patents will it be valid for 17 years as in US? Or will it be a more reasonable time interval like 5-7 years.

I just upgraded my OpenBSD 3.0 machine to OpenSSH 3.4 last night. I downloaded openssh-3.4.tgz ( notice not p1 ).

People say this is not a fault of OpenBSD because openbsd.org runs on Sun Solaris I wonder who said that Sun boxes can be owned , they cant be trusted ? Or I never heard someone say "Oh its solaris it can be hacked" Or did you ever see Bill G. says : "This site runs on Windows dont blame me!"

Yes I feel safe only one security hole over this year became public for mozilla. Whereas there are still more than 12 open for ie.

If you dont wanna register at NYTimes visit NYT Random Login Generator But because NYTimes block based on referrers you got two chances 1 - Disable Javascript or a better one get Multizilla Toolbar for Mozilla It has a nice option like "Dont send referrer" . Choose it and boom you are in !
Well as far as many people run a P2/P3 on their boxes , when AMD Hammer comes out it would be nice for linux people ( us ) to embrace AMD Hammer and buy it. I mean what did Intel give back to Linux ? They didnt even mention it on supported processors. Whereas AMD shows its processor on 64 bit Linux. So I think AMD deserves more respect on the linux scene.
I had Win XP Beta Tester login for two months and they give 64-bit betas for 9-10 months . I am not sure whats the latest beta build because my login is expired . Well dont share your login with 10 people even microsoft is not that dumb:/ .

Well as a CS student what I can say is CS always mess with optimization in the first hand And a basic programming language like C/C++ Hardly ever the idea is to teach a language but how to optimize things
Java is exactly like interpreted C++ . And what I mean by this sentence ? C++ is designed to be a compiled language not for run time interpretation like perl/python . When Java developers ripped C++ I think they forgot about that Now you know why Java is so bloated....
If you restrict strace in grsecurity you cant seem to be able to debug your application under gdb as normal user but root can still debug. Its a good idea to not to play with strace option if you are in a software engineering environment.
Save that I dont use Mandrake and still love my Slack but its nice that Drake guys used gcc 3.1 . Why ?
Benchmarks ( http://www.coyotegulch.com/reviews/intel_comp/inte l_gcc_bench2.html ) showed that gcc 3.1 produces killer c++ code as intel's compiler and msvc++.
C++ code was a bottleneck for gcc 2.9x series thats why our pretty Mozilla is slower than its is on Windows. But with gcc 3.1 and upcoming gcc releases this is no true anymore. After this we will have killer c++ code . So this means faster kde & mozilla etc etc.
And gcc 3.1 is more ANSI/ISO C++ compliant see http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.1/changes.html
The main reason is imho the apache hole which has an ready avaliable exploit for OpenBSD systems and OpenSSH root exploit which has a ready made exploit too . Both exploits are mailled to vuln-dev mailing list of securityfocus.com by GOBBLES security group. So kids have two interesting programs in their hands so what do you think they do ?
No this is called Big-O notation in Computer Science and until a exact value always O(n) algorithms is better than O(1) algorithms. But after that value while O(n) algorithms starts to get bigger more O(1) algortihms doesnt do that and get bigger slowly.
I use wolk for Xfs + Alsa integration its realy nice that I dont have to recompile alsa when I recompile my kernel because its integrated into kernel! And nice xfs integration too. No need to mention nice debian boot logo ( although I use slackware:/ ).And much more! Anyway if you want to have a look @ it check www.sourforge.net/projects/wolk or http://wolk.sf.net

Other than that it works like a charm.

What ya talking about ? Apache hole affected all systems but Gobbles security only released *BSD exploit.
