the weird numbers wasn't necessarially to keep the cashiers from stealing, but to keep the stores from doing their sales under the counter
That might make sense, except the manager of the store is the one who would set the prices. So if he wanted to do sales under the table and not report it for tax evasion reasons, he could set his prices to whatever he wanted (ie this is not some mandated thing, so it would not work for any kind of enforcement). The manager could also just do nothing to the prices and keep two separate books which seems like it would be less suspicious then making change out of your pocket:).
As far as the NSA planting a back door into SELinux, I really doubt it. A backdoor in open source code would be discovered eventually, and the NSA would have a very hard time denying it.
It seems much more likely that they would put back doors into closed source products, which do not receive as much scrunity.
I'm not sure if the analogy of making a great car vs making great software makes any sense.
If GM, Ford, or AMC could spend all there money on RD so they could just make ONE great car, then make 10,000,000 of them for no additional charge, I'm sure they would.
To tell you the truth, I'm really not sure why Windows is not perfect... Perhaps it's because everybody has a different idea about such things?
Linux will not swap over NFS without a patch which you can find Here.
I use this for diskless workstations, and it works well.... I'm not sure if your application will be faster or not with this.
I think that the version number bump is due to the fact that they are changing the glibc that ships with 9 to 2.3.1. I think that RedHat changes major version numbers when they produce a version that may break backwards compatiblity.
Dont think that this is all bad, the new glibc will have Native Posix Threds among other things.
You can make your own RH8.0 DVD iso...
There are good instructions listed here:

This attack is mitigated by checking to make sure the CN matches, and verifing the SSL public key you get is signed by a CA that's in your trusted list.
So if an attacker wanted to pull this off, he would need to sign the key with a CA thats in your browser (or get the user to click ok on a warning message).
I don't know what you mean by "device", but if you hook a camera to a DC10 capture card, and use nvrec you can do realtime encoding.
Another project that might intrest you is Mpeg4ip. This project includes tools to do realtime MPEG4 capture and conversion of other videos to MPEG4 format.
And last but not least is transcode,
They just added support for realtime capture and conversion to this program so you can output in a number of diffrent formats, including MPEG4 via Divx5 or XviD.

Seems like a bluetooth watch would be very cool, but I think that the power requirements for such a beast would be problematic at best.
If you have a USB enabled watch, you can provide all the power across the USB cable....
Still a very cool idea though....

I wonder if it will support playback of "ogm" files? If not, what format should I be using that can handle vorbis VBR audio and subtitles?
