I don't imagine that a Class A (tcp/ip) parasitic computing model would be particularly ideal for sensitive data as the script/prog/implementation would be stored in RAM on the Host running the exploit. If the ram on this box were compromised, it would prove trivial to re-piece together the data via the individual hosts.
I wrote lots of little things here and there: an example is the compressed loopback module I wrote as a throwaway project in 1999. I found out recently that it's the basis of Knoppix, which is an incredibly impressive project. I could never have done that: is that cool or what?
Impressive little "throwaway project"!!
...Right in the spirit in which he closed the interview:
JA: Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Rusty Russell: I love that noone needs my permission to take my code and do something cool with it, and someone else can do the same with that code. I love that an "end user" is usually only a few hours work away from being an active documenter, bugreporter, web-mistress or coder in most projects.
As a result, I despise anything which artificially raises barriers to entry for programmers and users. Everything from stupid software patents, to bad user interfaces, cabalesque knowledge and crummy code.
These quotes highlighted the interview for me but the whole thing was great.
I think it's great that cox and torvalds, took the time out of their day to submit the letter. Even if no one at all (of import) notices it's certainly better than regret.
If all else fails maybe generations from now, this'll serve as one of many example of politician's insensitivy during our period, for some kid's paper (with "sic" annotating the grammatical errors, of course).
I don't think it matters one way or another to hd manufacturers, it's just that no one manufacturer wants their drives looking smaller than everyone else's. Under this assumption, this lawsuit could, at best, serve as a well needed neutralizer to get everyone back to binary which we know and love so dearly.
In a court of law the RIAA is presenting the evidence that _they_ collected, to file charges against the general public?? WHAT?!? Stop and think about that.
Anyone who's ever had their car towed, and then gotten it back with huge scrapes marked down as "pre-existing damage" knows that this doesn't work. Anyone who's argued to they're blue in the face with a telephone company over ld charges that were wholly unfounded, knows this doesn't work. The whole ordeal is completely unexceptable. I name my file something that looks like one of they're artist's names and I'm charged?? I have to take the henchmen of 5 fortune 500 companies to court to argue the case?? They've downloaded and verified it was they're song-- they promise?? There _has_ to be an unafilliated 3rd party to verify that this company's claims are true with these kinds of fines on the line. I found one of my songs on kazaa, I contacted the isp and the ip.addr was in use by one "R.I.A.A"; I was selling the song for 50mil a pop. I except cash, cc, and american express.
Great idea!! Or better yet, with all the spyware that you get with Kazaa anyways why not just distribute the silly thing with kazaa!! Not a virus mind you (ie does not propagate). But something like Xupitar, bonzai buddy, gator, etc. That "randomly downloads (into your 'uploads' folder) based on patterns detected in your 'downloads' folder (where you keep the backup copies you lawfully ripped from cd:).
Why hasn't somebody modded "the virus did it" up yet??
That's good news for the trees, I hope the CD's are recycleable.
This reminds me, I get really annoyed when I see a big stack of phone books lying around, that no one really wants. How long do you guys think it'll be 'til phone books go CD for standard (/common)distribution method? I'd much prefer grepping for pizza than flipping through hundreds of pages.
That's 5 hours he could have used for spending time with his family, having fun, or doing something truly productivePersonally, I don't have any time to waste
Yeah, he doesn't have time for the trival, duplicate stories run by other news sources. He gets it straight from the horses mouth...
But if that "bunch of text between a user and using a product" were rendered "not an effective means of establishing a binding, legal agreement." What would happen to our beloved gpl, lgpl, various artistic licenses and bsd style licensing?
I guess santa's gonna have to trade that big red suit and sleigh in for a tank top and a suv

One of the big ones for me is that Debian meticulously critiques the licenses of the software that they distribute w/ the 'non-free' collection that's easy to opt-out of. Apt-get is probably the easiest package manager you'll use if you have some experience with the software you want (avoid dpkg like the plague). Building an application specific box is ridiculously easy (w/ or w/o tasksel). Debian's version system does not get inflated just to keep up with the trend of everyone eles's inflated system (slackware 8? mandrake 9? --yeah right). Debian's security updates are posted right on their mainpage *very soon* after vulnerablities are discoveried. --I'm probably just rambling now. But overall Debian seems to satisfy. Of the many Linux user I know, I only know 2 who have bothered with other distro's after giving Debian a try. One of whom multi boots and vmware's heavily (deb,suse,gentoo,win2k included). The other has a Suse box and a Debian box.
..sippin' champagne and eating cavier as the MS folks struggle with the worst thing since snowcrash--
*blinks twice*
eh, oh well. Cheers!!
-heres to a GREAT OS. Thanks Debian team, for making the world a better place to compute.
It's great working for tech support for a broadband isp and watching a new customer get infected w/ a virus as soon as you finish helping him/her configuring a brand new computer --they are usually very appreciative w/ the great job you just did helping getting everything setup:P

Most of the machines have now been upgraded to Pentuim 75s with 16M of RAM. Most were [34]86s until maybe six months ago.
Next time you're considering upgrading give me a call I've got tons of crap^H^H^H^H bargins that you cant' do without!!

That way not everything is compromised in one swoop once a new security flaw is discovered.
Yeah like in this case for instance... It took two swoops.

It depends on whether you think a dictionary should be descriptive or prescriptive. That and you mispelled recognised --it should be recognized.
Q might have devised a clever little device that wouldn't be smoking in ashes when the old boys at slashdot fancy a vidi.
I'm not sure if it's up still but I found one at http://www.mskf.org/mirrors/slimline/slimline.htm
The guy could publish a volume on his slashdot interviews alone.
