Engarde, Immunix, and Openwall are all designed to be secure platforms for server or firewall development.
If you want something small, you might look at LEAF or Coyote or Wolverine. Coyote is free, Wolverine is $30-$120 depending on which license you need.
Personally, I'm using Astaro (free for personal use). It seems to be well designed from a security perspective (everything is chrooted, etc.), but it is not easy to customize the web interface, etc. A 'pluspack' is downloadable which includes gcc, etc, or you can compile on RedHat if you have the right versions of all the libraries.
This kind of thinking reminds me of this old 50's or 60's horror flick where they hooked up all the computers of the world and the computers "magically" became a sentient being which subsequently tried to take over the world.
Hey, leave Terminator, Terminator 2, and Terminator 3 out of this!
I don't think so. http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/ says: "Pr ocesses originating from any one node, if that node is too busy compared to others, can migrate to any other node. openMosix continuously attempts to optimize the resource allocation."
"The cluster behaves much as does a Symmetric Multi-Processor, but this solution scales to well over a thousand nodes which can themselves be SMPs."
In other words, one single-threaded program will still only run on one cpu. There is no advantage unless you have LOTS of programs running at once.
Microsoft lately waits until each Wednesday to release ALL of their new Windows patches (Exchange, Offic, etc may be released on another schedule).
Therefore, giving them the benefit of the doubt, assume it takes them 24 hours to develop and debug a patch. It will then take them, on average, 3.5 more days before it is released.
You're right, but my company doesn't believe in warnings. They've fired people for looking at pr0n after-hours. Not that that's what I'm doing, but I'd rather not risk it.
And the servers I use aren't unusual destinations, as they are our web servers.
My company uses Websense, which is extremely irritating as it blocks many useful and interesting sites. It doesn't alter them; it just blocks them.
Therefore, I have circumvented it by tunneling most of my traffic through SSH to external machines running the squid http proxy and socks (for IM).
All they will see is intermittent encrypted traffic on port 22 (or whatever port your SSH server is on). Of course it would help if you have an excuse for needing an SSH connection. I'm covered as several servers under my control are co-located.
Simply changing the @'s to "& # 64;" (without the spaces; stupid slashcode) will also do the trick without having to code the whole email address. You can do it on the href and the text and it will still be clickable.
I've been doing this for awhile, with a "spamtrap" on a busy site with some obfuscated address to test their effectiveness.
Unfortunately, yesterday, for the first time, I got 1 spam to each of the 2 addresses that were obfuscated this way. This tells me that spammers are starting to decode this encoding.
I doubt that encoding the entire address would be any more effective.
Also, you have to be careful with this as some editors (GoLive cough cough) will decode it and save it as plaintext again, ruining your obfuscation.
In his speech at DefCon 0A last year, he expressed that he is trying his best to make freenet infallible to monitoring, but he admitted that it is still dangerous to put too much faith in the security of any system.

It's on the right in Mozilla.
Try reading this . It should apply to OSX, I believe.

My point was freedom of religion includes tolerance of athesism or agnosticism or whatever.
Also, I think there is a AMD 64-bit version of Suse available, and a beta of RedHat also.
Not all of them:
Also, Jefferson considered Atheism to be a religion. (see here)
OK, thanks. Still, 0.7V is quite a drop with 5V logic.
Sounds like a job for RatBert!
salt should have the same effect (at least to an extent).
I think most diodes have a significant voltage drop (1.5V or more IIRC).
However, you can buy zener or other low-drop diodes for a few dollars.
I would just hook one ps to the CD and let it be on independent of whether the computer is on or off.
don't forget most CRT's and LCD's are only around 75-120DPI, versus 300-2400 for printed media.
I think it's insightful; do you forget Winston gave in?
I think it was a reference to movies in which cell-phone bombs were used by government agencies to kill terrorists.
Can't think of the movie offhand though, but it involved a woman going undercover in a cell.

Well, I learned from Doom what that would probably look like.
ISTM that much of the engine was licensed from Havok, and I doubt that included the source.
