well i'm in linux right now so i can't give exact instructions, but i'll give it a shot.
go to thawte and choose "get your FREE personal email certificate."
fill out the info (this is legit info folks) and eventually you'll create a key
after you have an account and a key, go here and log in
click on Certificates-> view certifcate status, then click on the link that goes with your created key. for me it says MSIE, since I used IE when creating that key. note that you'll have to wait a bit until the status of the key moves from pending to valid. don't bother clicking until it is validated.
at the bottom of that screen click fetch and install the key on your system
now you'll have that key (and the details are scetchy from here since i can't go look at it) but in Internet Options under Content i think there is a certificates button. click that, and you should have the key on that list. choose the thawte key and export it. you'll want to export it to include the private key as well and to include all certificates. it should be a pfx file. i think you can choose a password here
go into aim, in the options, and security. i think there's an advanced button or somewhere in there where you can import a file.. and you'll just have to open the PFX file you exported earlier. yay for you... now your 1337 and have a padlock by your name. expect to have a million people IM you and ask why it's there. lol
if something doesn't work, post the problem and i'll see if i can figure out what i didn't explain correctly.:-)
Aim has encryption now! Check out AIM Encrypt for a crude (everyone shares the same key) method of AIM encryption. For a more sure method, grab a free key from Thawte and use that instead. It works (I tried it), and will give you a unique keypair. (It gives you a padlock next to your screen name in AIM).
i bet that one guy who, years and years ago, wrote that comment for the very first time is sitting at some dumb terminal somewhere dark right now, reading this on lynx and saying "booyah"
i believe it's because this is a live auction... i'd guess that the online bidders compete with people who are actually in the auction house. This extra fee probably helps cover the costs of hiring people to relay internet bids to the auctioneer.
this can't be a good idea. if this is put into place, it would mean that there will be more Americans actually hoping for terrorist attacks, since they could earn money if they occur. this sounds absolutely crazy to me! why do anything that would polarize American citizens against their country, or against human decency??
i wouldn't be surprised to find your utilities included in the next version of some big distro after this nice self-slashdotting. this probably was the most effective way to get your programs noticed!
I think this is the best thing for the future of space exploration. Competition will lead to innovation, and hopefully to added funding. I think when the American population sees China making great progress towards exploring Mars, there will be more of a demand for American exploration.
Features that both JVC iO Pocket PCs share include the JVC AV player that supports MP3, WAV and Ogg Vorbis compressed audio files, as well as AVI (MPEG4) and ASF (MPEG4) video files.
Other shared features of the two models include 128 MB of SDRAM, 32 MB of Flash ROM, a CompactFlash Type II expansion slot, an SDIO capable SD/MMC Card expansion slot, a 16-bit (65,536 colours) 3.5" transflective TFT display, a USB client port and a non-exchangeable 1100 mAh Lithium Polymer battery.
Sure, they're expensive, but this would be a great little toy to take on a bus or a short trip where a laptop would be cumbersome. (not to mention the bathroom at work);-)
I think these signs are absolutely outrageous! I'm shocked that this was allowed by the company. Now, instead of targeting IBM, all of these signs ridicule Linux and open source users in general! I use Linux... does that mean I'm a Communist, SCO? Does that make me stupid?
Allowing comments like these to be made publicly by employees is absolutly not the way to run a business.
someday I'll be able to sit down, get hooked up to a machine, then say "I know Kung Fu".
Then I'd say "Whoa"
(and subsequently score with Carrie-Anne Moss)
then I'd say "Whoa" again

I believe applications such as this do not include windows... they simply give you a virtual system where you can install and run windows on. no one is copying look feel or function, they are simply allowing you to run a licensed copy of windows on top of Linux.
I have this question, that maybe one of you can answer....if not i may try to ask it tonight.
where on slashdot can people post to each other on topics that are not necessarily current news items? Is there some sort of general discussion forum somewhere on slashdot that I've never found? the community is great, probably one of the best on the Internet, but if you want to ask it a question or discuss something that isn't front page news, you don't really have a place to do it here (without being offtopic/redundant etc). could a forum (ala phpBB) be put up and become an official part of Slashdot? i think this would help the community grow and allow discussion of a better variety of topics.
i'm only buying the extended editions in the hope that there won't be any differences in future releases of the movie as a set. if there is simply a theatrical version and an extended version of each film, that's plenty. What we don't need is a star wars type situation, where re-releases come out every few years.
if such a huge number of people don't feel this is a problem, can't the laws be changed to reflect public opinion? i mean, why is it illegal in the first place? american laws are made by people who represent the public, so maybe it's time to change the laws to go along with the public.

in a related note, this article, the US Weather service is begining to use a computer that is potentially faster than any other computer... up to 100 trillion calculations per second.
Do you really think Apple would be dead in the water if they did not have Microsoft office? I think they could actively promote openoffice as an alternative, bundle it for free with all OS sales, and become a leading business OS. i think they could do it, but will they?
you're never too old to go party with sexy girls dressed as maids, nurses or hookers (which I saw last halloween). heck, you'd definitly enjoy that more when you're older!

microsoft has historically been very successful yes, but also very insecure... this is one thing that probably should not be copied
