I know you asked about people using pointsec with Linux, but have you considered using the device mapper to do hard disk encryption for you? On my laptop, I have the entire hd encrypted using aes and sha256, using the kernel's dm-crypt abilities and the cryptsetup program. To do this, you need to have a small partition to boot from that contains the kernel (and an initramfs if you don't build it into the kernel). From there you unencrypt the drive, pivot root, and continue booting. Additionally, if your intent is to run the virtual windows encrypted, you can use cryptsetup to manage the the device or files to keep the windows files on. There are many good tutorials on using dm-crypt, and can definitely tell you more than I can easily explain.
Having played the game (and also being a big fan of both TLJ and Dreamfall) I'll say that while the puzzles weren't Riven-style difficult (the really weren't even Myst III: Exile-style difficult either) the writing for that game is extraordinary. It's worth it just for the story alone.
Does this story not strike anyone else as to be so ridiculous that it must be one of those things set up just to see what community reaction is like? Like a researcher at a university doing a sociology experiment. I mean..."Embroidery Software Protection Coalition"...come on!
even the mighty computer science house here at rit can't take the brutal onslaught that is a slashdotting. I can never look up at their floor with the same longing to be a memeber ever again.
I read this article in the Globe when I was home for my immensly short one week spring break the first week of March. It was in the business section on i think either a tuesday or a wednesday. Either the Globe is reprinting articles or the submitter is mistaken on when this was printed.
I would just like to take this moment to give mad props to Gerard Beekmans and the reest of the LFS editors for the fine book they produce. I recommend all Linux folk to at the very least just check out www.linuxfromscratch.org
in todays world if such things were to happen I would think that working on open source software would become tied up in government red tape, bureacracy (sp?), and legislation. The idea looks good when all simple but would probably become considerably more complicated with government involvemnet. Just my $.02
BTW, a tip for you. You can order bound manuals for the Pentium I/II/III/4 directly from Intel's website AT NO COST. Apparently, this is a result of their deal with the justice department to resolve possible anti-trust charges. They take a month or two to get, but they are nice manuals with plenty of detail.
That is a very cool and good piece of information to know that I didn't know. I just ordered my manuals a few minutes ago. Thanks for the info!
How wrong you are my good man. Gordon Moore's document that has become Moore's Law is all about price. Allow me to quote him directly:
Reduced cost is one of the big attractions of integrated electronics, and the cost advantage continues to increase as the technology evolves toward the production of larger and larger circuit functions on a single semiconductor substrate. For simple circuits, the cost per component is nearly inversely proportional to the number of components, the result of the equivalent piece of semiconductor in the equivalent package containing more components. But as components are added, decreased yields more than compensate for the increased complexity, tending to raise the cost per component.
can someone plz enlighten me as to what this has to do with a cancelled tv show. I never saw firefly so i'm at a loss as to what this software has to do with it. Was there a version of something on the show like what this software does (or with the same name or something)?
but peroxide only refers to a cat-ion of oxygen with an oxidation of -1 instead of the normal -2. If you just produced peroxide it would be very unstable as it would try to combine with an an-ion immediately. Is Carmack perhaps looking for a specific peroxide compound (i.e hydrogen peroxide or nitrogen peroxide) or just any compound that has oxygen with -1 oxidation numbers?
You have some issues my friend. You are going through all the good "geek chic chicks" that nerds fancy from Sci-Fi and Fantasy shows/movies/etc and you put in Kate Mulgrew! Not only do you dare to include her but you don't include Jeri Ryan! WTF are you smoking....it has seriously screwed up your judgement and very possibly your mojo.

Sweet Jesus, I didnt think of it till you said that but can you imagine quake3 wrapped around your entire room...or at least one wall. That and some surround sound speakers.........
At least they are giving away the new ibooks. If they gave away the old school ibooks then they would never need to spend money out of the maintenence budget for toilet seats

Wake up and smell the date
we use an xserve where i work and its true that you need the caddy to get the hd to work but weve swapped drives in them before. Its not a big deal.
...but wont it work to do something like
for i in "1 2 3"
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda(or appropraite device)

Neither. It's the gibson at Ellington Mineral.

For those of you with no clue http://us.imdb.com/Title?0113243
And the dragon comes in the Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
what you describe is the BSD liscence i believe
when i said cat-ion i meant an-ion and when i said an-ion i meant cat-ion....sorry about that

I have an athlon t-bird 1.33 Ghz running at 30.C so why would i want a g4 running at 38

I love 8-bit pr0n....don't you?
I could be completely off base (which happens frequently) but isnt disney distributing this movie?
bottleneck my ass....have you seen the specs on ddr-2?
