OK, when I wrote that at first I was serious but now I can see why it is funny. The whole thing is that you run sha1sum or md5sum to verify that your download is accurate. If this were a software download, we would want to see the hash to make sure the file wasn't tampered with. Considering this book is called "Security Engineering," it's kind of a joke that you would want to verify the source files to make sure they weren't tampered with, since I doubt a virus can be embedded into a PDF file. It's also ironic because the book is about security, and this would be a step all security aware users should take when downloading things from the Internet. I was just checking to make sure I got the whole file, especially considering the server was flaky.
I think the bigger question is who will serve up these types of ads anyways? I think the one who is getting the shaft in all of these new advertising models are the content distributors. Why is it their responsibility for the advertising to be a success? I think that Google Ad(non)sense proves this theory. I mean, the types of items that have been advertised on my own site are cheap items that generate small pay backs from click throughs. Why should we have to put up with more crap to earn money on our sites? As for advertisers, it's a paradise despite the whole click fraud bunk. Those are just my feelings.
Those are called worms, not viruses. Besides, anti-virus is only as good as the latest definitions. If you have auto updates enabled on whatever operating system you use, you should be fine. Additionally, a good firewall goes a long way against these types of exploits.
I have never used anti-virus software and have never gotten a virus in my life. My main reason for not using anti-virus was because it hampered system performance. I really don't think it's that hard to avoid getting a virus, all you have to do is stay up to date with your operating system and don't open executable attachments (it would be even better if you just ignored emails that weren't from trusted sources). The only thing that bothers me are these zero day exploits that even anti-virus software can't stop.
See, this is another reason why I don't use anti-virus. The truth is viruses don't magically propagate on the Internet, it takes a dummy to do something stupid. Just learn some common sense and avoid these awful programs.
My dad works for a local government and was required to investigate the use of hybrid vehicles for use in his department, as a form of gasoline reduction measure, to save money. However, since this local government doesn't have to pay taxes on the gasoline it purchases, it can get it for very cheap. He also found that it would take well beyond the life of the vehicle to become profitable.
I think it's kind of unfortunate, really, why hybrids cost so much more than conventional vehicles. The tax incentives in this case were of no use, as I said, because this agency didn't pay taxes.
Now are you talking pure copper or what? Copper is the best conductor, certainly. But, in chip manufacturing you don't use pure copper, because copper won't adhere to silicon well. That's why they use an aluminum and copper blend to get the best properties of both Aluminum and Copper. But, the conductivity will go down. So, you really can't even go as fast as you are saying, according to my additional error analysis.
This is great for my parents' computer because they are still using Windows. But I really like Evolution better on the Linux side of things. Thunderbird is very good overall and I recommend it to all existing users of Outlook and Outlook Express. Get out now while you can!
I find mechanical computers very interesting. I was browsing the web a few days ago and some guy built a differentiator, integrator, and summer based on some pneumatic system. Very cool.
OK, why spend money on this when you can build an analog oscillator hooked to your computer and using frequency modulation to broadcast your computer's sound over AM radio waves??? I have done this so that way I can listen to my good music outside with a cheap radio. I don't know what AirTunes costs, but my method is very cheap. In fact, it's so awesome you can set it up to broadcast over any frequency! I bet the FCC wouldn't be happy about this, but my signal isn't very strong.
Who cares if you have hat head? I think that telling your boss that you won't take the hat off on those reasons alone is not a very good excuse. You should have did what your boss asked. Now, unless you are not disclosing some other kind of trouble you caused, it seems like your boss is a real asshole. However, I really am not very sympathetic to you because you disobeyed orders over something pretty asinine.
Yeah, I'm definitely with the author in saying that companies think they are doing you a favor by porting their software to Linux. I think that people could easily fall into this in the past, but not so today. I guess the free programs are just too good. The payware programs have to not only meet the challenge, but will have to receive rave reviews (like here on slashdot) before people will buy it. I guess that's how I am. Maybe that's why Codeweavers is successful.
. . . don't trust benchmarks. This naming scheme is just going to create yet another benchmark which will probably be biased by those marketing it. Again, stick to Tom's Hardware and don't even look at what they call it.

Same thing with me. I have no idea, but by the time I figure it out I will have lost interest. Sites that pull this shit I just ignore.
Professionals? I thought pros just use text editors. That's what I use. :)
And XHTML for that matter. I heard that IE 7 won't support application/xhtml+xml. This is pathetic.

For those of you who actually downloaded the book, here are the checksums I got. Let me know if you got the same. Thanks.

The difference between the two is that one is in the phasor domain and the other is in the time domain.
You may write e^(j*theta) = cos(theta) + j*sin(theta)
The phasor domain is very useful in electromagnetic theory because taking derivatives of e^x = e^x

"The apps are all self-contained in their own directory; binaries, docs, source code and all."
Does this violate the FHS?
So if IBM is now going to be using Suse, does this mean that the Blue Linux rumor is bogus?

I wonder who the culprit is.
I wonder if HP will start pushing the stuff coming out of their Cambridge Research Lab (i.e. Keith Packard's XServer).
