Wow... thank you so much! I had no idea you could do a live update with Mandrake... which was the biggest reason I ended up going with the hassle of Gentoo. I will try this tonight!
It's a hacker conference. There is probably no more tolerant place to release such a piece of code, where your talents will be respected instead of persecuted. There were also no doubt many members of the computer security community present who would want to be aware of any new vulnerabilities immediately. I think it's a great thing it was tried and released at DefCon first.
For my large network at home, I have a little device with lights that blink when the network is working. I think the guy at the store called it a switch or something.
Apparently the 2.6 kernel has trouble with my mice. There is no option to choose another when using the download edition. It's simply broken. Mandrake shouldn't ship a kernel with such a bug.
When making a beta, you are mainly in bug fixing and stabilising mode -- that means, you don't go changing major variables all the the time, or at least not all at once. KDE 3.2 is known to be stable. After Mandrake has the bugs worked out of the first beta, they may very well well include KDE 3.3.
Any chance that they got PS/2 mice working properly again? With 10.0, mine stopped working, while they worked fine in the previous release. 10.0 is really crappy.
... at how he describes the resemblence in the ELF and program headers? Or am I really that much of a geek? =P
Take a look at our program. Note that the last eight bytes in the ELF header bear a certain kind of resemblence to the first eight bytes in the program header table. A certain kind of resemblence that might be described as "identical".
Blanking data on an extremely fast medium is, well, extremely fast. It would be quite feasible to zero out all discarded information where it is too demandind on slow hard disks today.
Yes, but to a lot of us geeks and technophiles, this was the first we heard of it. Slashdot rarely breaks original material -- rather, it's a consolidator of important or interesting information. The great majority of time, the information is not highly time sensitive; that is, info a month old is still highly relevant. Slashdot does its job well.
Higher education does make a world of difference, but I wanted to stress that it isn't necessary. Higher education provides a basic foundation in a given field -- which is good both to the student to save time, and to an employer, to know the student should have a basic grounding -- though it's not impossible to learn a basic grounding on one's own, if a strong desire is there.

I think I might try that. I've been fixing windows machines all day.
I don't know, but if it can enlarge my penis, it must be fairly arousing!

Yes, it does depend on the chip inside the mouse. For some reason, some chips no longer work. It was a complete show stopper.
I'll get right on it ;)
Yeah, but that wouldn't be a bit better instead of a whole lot better.

Don't worry -- the webserver is probably already slashdotted from some wonk running Doom 3 on it.

Acceleron is to neutrino, as Celeron is to Centrino. Suddlenly, accelerons sound like old news.
Yeah, but don't hack in through the back door -- I hear that can get messy.
The Washing Machine is more fun! Shhhh... don't tell anyone.

Sick, just sick. I can't stop laughing!
It's a shame this number isn't prime, unlike Jenny's.

Such things actually exist, but they cost money. Google for them.
Someone tell me what this is all about... I don't have the time to RTFA.
Absolutely. I use Ogg containers for movies... It would be nice to have even better than vorbis sound quality.
A most valid point. If I were an employer, that's probably the second reason why I'd look for a degree (the first being qualification, of course).
