Aufgrund vereinzelt anders lautender Pressemitteilungen stellt die MEDION AG klar, dass das ALDI-Notebook nicht mit dem Virus Stoned Angelina ausgeliefert worden ist.
Quick translation: Since there was some Press-noise, MEDION feels the need to say that the ALDI-Notebook is not infected with the Stoned Angelina virus.
If I understand packet sniffing correctly (I'm no programmer), that just shows the source and destination but the contents are encrypted. Please let me know if I'm incorrect. You are correct. It's exactly like that. BTW, you don't need to be a programmer, just try etherreal and connect somewhere with you mail client or browser and have a look at what you see. If it's the first time you are doing it it's very interesting.
I find it very disappointing anyway that anything you install on ubuntu is installed as root (at least that is the default way of doing it). Wouldn't it be übercool to be able to install applications as the local user, and drivers maybe as the "driver" user? I still think The Zero Install system is a nice and secure way to install software, and maybe one day we can extend this to install drivers as well, so that root access will almost never be required (a bit like Plan 9, or what SE Linux is trying to do).
Color me stupid here, but isn't Apache the de facto standard that most everyone uses? Yes, for production environments of course, but for development it does not really matter that your webserver is scalable/fast/modular/supported/whatever so webrick or mongrel are better choices.
Next time you don't want to flame, please provide reasons for people to assume you're not flaming. Just stating, as if a fact, that X is better than Y without any figures to back it up or explaination why you think that is, looks a lot like flaming. You are right. I was a bit lazy. Here you go.
- Stored Procs - We use these at work on our insanely complex MSSQL setups that I loathe, but I don't know that I'll ever have use for them on my server, and I (perhaps mistakenly) assumed this was a standard SQL feature. MySQL doesn't support stored procs? It does, but only really basic stuff.
- Triggers - I'm not sure what these are. You can make a trigger on a table that triggers before or after a row is inserted/updated/deleted and runs a spc or a dml statement.
And for a web server, why not lighttpd?. Its vastly faster. Or IIS... fastly vaster... Well, because the webserver can change between the production an developement machine, but the db should not (at least IMHO). I can develop with mongrel, webrick, lighttpd or whatever and then deploy on another webserver, but this is most of the time probably not the case with the database.
Though I'm looking to move off a web-host and build a server out of my house. Everyone keeps saying PostgreSQL is better. Why? For my average use, what benefits will it offer me?
If I throw some common PHP/SQL stuff on there, will it run faster (Gallery2, LotGD, phpbb3, etc)? I know that a lot of people here will kill me and say "but you can do this in mysql too!! (somehow)", but: - Integrity: if i delete from people where id=1; all child tables of people (telephone numbers, addresses and whatnot) are kept. On top of that you are allowed to delete the parent if it has childs. I hate this default behavior. - ACID - Stored Procs: You may not use them, but one day you may will. Maybe you will have to insert rows in a table after an update on another, or implement some other things that are best implemented on the database. If you use pg from the beginnig you can. - Triggers: the same This are my main choices I choose pg ove mysql, but this is really a personal choice. The flamewar between mysql an pg will never end, I think it's like emacs vs vi.
And not the vastly superior PostgreSQL? I really like FKs in my relational data. And I know that MySQL does support them, but not with myISAM tables. This is really not meant to be a flame, but pgsql is really better than mysql, so why not include the better one? Or am I wrong?
And will you trawl through every line of the code just to make sure it's doing what you think it's doing? No. A quick grep * socket|wc will do.
When did the words "open source" suddenly imply best, most secure, 100% trustworthy? If my grep does not find it, someone else will some day.
Does anybody have concern for Google knowing what's on their local disks? Yes I do. That's why I will never use this (or any other Desktop Search that is not Open Source).
If each of those 50,000 computers timed out and gave up in 60 seconds (a very reasonable time frame), then you're only looking at 278 (rounded up) "attacks" a minute.
Between 4 and 5 "attacks" a second.
How did you calculate that? If a new episode of office comes out, and say 10000 users want to download it in the first 10 minutes, that would be 10000 / 600 = 16,6 connections/second. that's a fair bit.
and NONE (even the commercial alternatives) are even within shouting distance of MCE when it comes to ease of installation, stability and user friendliness. I can get a clean machine up and running in an hour with MCE. Compare that to the RedHat MythTV Howto, which takes many hours for even a basic install.
- Do you have a Web interface for your schedule, program listings, videos, ecc..? - Does it cut commercials? - Can it rip DVDs? - Can it rip music CD? - Can it play DivX? - Can it play HD Quicktime trailers? - Can it use DVB-T, DVB-S, analog and cable at the same time? - Can you attach another frontend to it (one for your living room and one for your bed room)? - Can you transcode your recordings from MPEG2 to something else? - Can you grab channel listings using xmltv? - Can you edit the videos using your remote? How much did you pay for it?/me am happy to spend some more hours to set it up, but then have an open, extensible, hackable, complete product, and not a crippled software.
You send me your public key. There are thousands more, but this one is yours. I can encrypt something with your public key, and only our secret key will be able to decrypt that something I've sent you. If, when you send me your pk, someone replaces that key with their own, you will not be able to decrypt what I have encrypted for you with that replaced key. Thus, we well not be able to talk, and the man in the middle attack is worthless.
This only matters with a small demographic - people who search - and they're going to be using Google anyway.
No. Not only people who search. Even if we assume that people who search is a small demographic (and that is not the case), there is still videos, mail, maps, books, urchin, photos, blogs, froogle and a lot more.
Google is all about tracking you. Your mails, your locations, your searches, all sites you visit, the books you read, the videos you like, the things you buy, just everything. I think google bought DoubleClick only because they have 1x1 gifs and banners on a very lot of sites. Google can tracks the pages we vist with urchin (yes, google knows you are on slashot right now), but can now track our web behaviour with all doubleclick backlinks as well. I think all google wants is know *everything* about us (or at least as much as possible), and that is why they have free mail, free maps, free everything. The data google has about us is a lot more valuable than 20$ a month for maps or a mail service, and that is the only reason they bought doubleclick. At least IMHO.
What exactly does Oracle offer besides database offerings?
Middleware and applications like Oracle Fusion, Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle On Demand, PeopleSoft Enterprise, Siebel, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, JD Edwards World and so on.

Well, they are a quite important company in the IT market today, and probably for the next decade.
I absolutely 100% agree with you. The best browser around. I hope it will become cross platform one day, so I can use it on Windows at my office too.

SELECT *
FROM images,
tags
WHERE images.id = tags.image_id AND
tag = 'a_tag'
no need to use a heavy IN clause, but maybe your real query was more complicated than that and you used it only as an example.

This was sooooo obvious...

Nothing. Another seed/peer is sending data at 30k/sec.
You don't. You just send the requests to the target.

You don't seem to know how pgp works. If they replace your pk with their own, your secret key would not be able to decrypt the conversation.
I know your comment is meant to be funny, but do you really think there is another reason behind all those free apps?
No. Not only people who search. Even if we assume that people who search is a small demographic (and that is not the case), there is still videos, mail, maps, books, urchin, photos, blogs, froogle and a lot more.
