While the data does travel over an Internet connection, it is securely wrapped in an impenetrable 448-bit encrypted envelope to prevent any chance of unauthorized access.
When companies make claims like "impenetrable encryption" on their front page, it makes me a little bit worried. When they say "448-bit" encryption, it makes me a bit more worried. When that information is the only thing on their site about what type of security/encryption they are using, I don't think I would ever trust my data with them.
Does it cost less than US$100?
You can't be serious. Securing your machines is only worth $100? Is that how much it will cost to fix them once they are cracked? Give me a break. If you are serious about security you can invest more than $100.
Like google, clusty can seach for/through: images, news, ebay, blogs, and . . . SLASHDOT? I was quite supprised to see that it can be customized to have a slashdot tab at the top. The other interesting thing I noticed is that there is a link on the main page to "mozilla search plugin". I am not able to actually follow the link, but it would seem to suggest that they are interested in supporting OSS.
Who do you think they are trying to target?
I find it interesting (and a little frightening) how otherwise educated people (reporters, for instance) can be so clueless in critical areas.
I find it much more interesting how clueless the parent is. If he read the article he would have seen that the user did have computer literacy, with at least basic trouble shooting skills. The problem is that it is not easy to keep a windows box clean from any malware. MS (and others) need to be make it easier for users to protect their PCs (which, by the way, is the point of SP2). Computers should just work correctly, without users having to work very hard.
We in the computer industry need to all work toward this goal. Computers are tools to make things easier; they shouldn't make peoples' lives more difficult.
Like I said, the school is a small liberal arts school. Although I'm not happy about the new network policy, I still love the school. Along with this, I have been in a positive conversation with policy makers to help make my objections clear.
This means that I don't want my school's site to be slashdoted . That is the only reason that I didn't link to my school's site.
I will be posting my conversations with Computing Services on my website. Of course, I'm not going to link to that either.
I have tried both freevo and mythtv and found that neither are exactly to my liking. Right now I use mencoder and cron to record any tv shows that I might want to watch later, and tvtime to watch tv live. I know its not a total solution, but thats not what I'm looking for: I don't have the luxury of having an extra pc to be a dedicated pvr(or for that matter a tv), thus I find mencoder does exactly what I want it to do. Are there any others out there that use alternatives to freevo and mythtv to record / watch tv?
More specifically, what formats do people record to? I record to divx, does anyone record to mpeg2 and not use either freevo or myth?
For anyone that is interested, here is the script I use to record with mencoder.
AFAIK you are correct. I am not a physicist, but it seems that any large scale application of active noise cancellation is not feasible because depending on where the listener was there would be no noise, or there would be more noise.
Could someone explain to me, why would they sue their own customers? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like going after someone who isn't paying sco would be a more logical choice.
From the SeLinux website:
"All source code found on this site is released under the same terms and conditions as the original sources. For example, the patches to the Linux kernel, patches to many existing utilities, and some of the new programs available here are released under the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Some new libraries and new programs available here are released into the public domain."
So to answer your question, the US govt is clearly allowed to use the GPL.
I have always liked the look and power of the zaurus line, and I really want a linux pda, however I don't think the cost of the imported zaurus is really worth it. For $850 you can get a laptop and install linux on that. I understand that there are size and usage differences, however if I were to choose between a zaurus, or a 12inch ibook (say off of ebay) I think I would have to go with the ibook. It seems that the laptop is much more useful than the pda for a similar price.
I have an old ironman from timex, but it has just recently died and now I am in the market for a new watch. This would probably be the watch I would get if it were available sooner. Anybody have suggestions of other cool watches that are available right now?
There is an article at news.com about Intel's announcement.

This article notes, "Otellini said users will be able to turn LaGrande off. "It will be opt in," he said."
If this is true, we have noting to worry about.

What? I couldn't reproduce it on firefox under Linux. I don't think this affects linux.
Cringely had an article about this a few months back http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20041028. html/.
He gives a good overview of the tech and why it is so cool.
ukraine is not weak, ukraine is strong
Here is a mirror of the zip file that you can test locally.
The entire point of the article is to piss off everyone using any of those distros.
