I'm sure tech analysists and security experts thought of that long before you did. If your assertions were true, I think the case would have been blown wide open. Besides, it would be far too easy to pick up on any traffic reporting via any traffic sniffer.
Actually, I was stating that he intentionally does not release the source code to his exploits nor does he tell the developers. He does this so that he can exploit the boxes for his own evil. This is called blackhat hacking. Get a clue.
I think you're forgetting about the NSA funded SELinux project. It's also a kernel level MAC security patch. I prefer SELinux over GrSec for many reasons, one of which is the fact a team of well trained NSA kernel hackers coded SELinux. (As opposed to GrSec whose head coder and inventor is a punk who uses his security knowledge to keep his exploits as 0days. Sounds pretty fishy to me; I won't trust anything that has his name on it.) SELinux is in the official 2.6 kernel branch. Check it out here.
As a Jew and a developer of Gentoo, this is not something that was intentional. I signed up as a dev because I love Gentoo and felt that I had something unique to offer to the distro. It was only after I had signed up that I found out there are a few other Jews. You make it sound like every other developer is living in Israel.
What I'm about to say might seem controversial, and that's well adue because the issue itself is controversial. I believe that Daniel Robbins, while seemingly great person, is not really Jewish. He conforms to a group called Jews of Jesus, a group which I believe is trying to systematically destroy the Jewish religion by converting Jews to Christianity. (They, Jews for Jesus, lure Jews into thinking it's okay to both acknowledge Jesus as their "savior" and be Jewish. This completely contradicts the foundation of Jewish faith, thereby the Jews of Jesus have stripped another Jew away from Judaism and added him or her onto Christianity.) For more information on Jews for Judaism, a group which combats the ongoing "battle" against Jews for Jesus, see this website.
I thoroughly believe that the religion of a vast minority in the distribution should not determine anyone's stance on it. It is not as if Gentoo Technologies receives funding from the Chabad or the Union for Reformed Judaism.
However I know there are some people who are just plain anti-Semitic like the parent poster. If a Jew is involved with anything, such people will automatically disassociate themselves from it. They will go on to say that the is part of the Jewish plan to take over the world. Or something like that.
I just hope not everyone is so close-minded in the OSS industry, otherwise our outlook is bleek. We need all the help we can get, from every group, every creed, and every religion.
A lot of companies brand names have become nearly impossible to enforce because the trademark has made it into the accepted dialect of a language. Xerox, kleenex, and rollerblades are all examples of this. That's why Google was fighting, in court, to keep its name out of new dictionaries that are being published.
Apple, IBM, Sun, Microsoft would all love to make the spec so complex and braindead that it would bury X for good.
Yes, IBM would love to see something so important to desktop Linux fail... Which is precisely why they pour billions of dollars into Linux (a lot of which likely goes to desktop devel) on an annual basis.
Supports OGG, built in mic, optical out, mounts as a USB portable harddrive under linux (I use rsync to update my tunes), size and weight versus iPod are moot, and it's a nice black and silver instead of a (*ducks*) feminine white.
1. Spend boatloads of money on hardware

5. Profit!
Google has already told everyone they're going to be selling adspace, obviously to return on their investment. Google is in a very lucrative business, and still has the largest market share. They know how this stuff works. They know how to make money while offering a free service. (Free as in beer.)
Yea it was live. Thanks to Cox communications, I didn't have to sit at my computer but rather watched it on my digital cable (which was pretty broken up, though).
I get the NASA channel in my home, and I just watched the vehicle hit a peak of Mach 5. Does this mean the test was unsucessful?
Also, was what I was watching live or not? I just got up from the TV about a minute ago and they were beginning the return checklist.
J&R Electronics (Fulton Street station - across from where the Towers used to be). They own an entire block and it's all devoted to electronics. Anything that one could possibly be seeking in the electronics market is there. They have like 70 shops on their block. It's Mecca for geeks. I buy a lot of stuff there (most recently, a pair of Shure E2s). Pay it a visit.
Tap into your internet connection? And how to you propose that a script kiddie adds his computer to the hops between the target computer and destination? It's impossible unless you get physical access to change a gateway somewhere along the line. You can't just add in hops wherever you want, AFAIK.
Of course an article/posting on debianhelp.org is going to say that its the fastest growing distro. Relying on that information is like relying on the Microsoft TCO numbers from an "independant" research company.
Would that not imply that Jupiter is a star-turned-white-dwarf? I'm pretty sure it would. In which case, it is highly unlikely that Jupiter once was a star.
In fact... a lot of SYN attacks don't use comprimised hosts at all! They actually send the request to a bunch of computers that are just running webservers, that's all. They spoof the destination IP and change it to the IP of the target to be attacked and all those webservers (usually ~40,000) respond at once to the host, essentially knocking it offline. It's happened to me before.:P
So you can use even a secure (but not 100% properly configured) server to launch an attack with... Intersting stuff.
That's actually interesting... There was a lawsuit that the company who makes Beretta handguns filed against Ford for naming a car "Beretta." The case was dismissed on account of the products being in two totally different fields.... Although the two fields of products are commonly used together to perform drive-bys.

Maybe MSFT is reallocating the funds to another portion of their market? Perhaps Longhorn?
Either that or this is the first sign that MSFT is going belly-up. *g*
RMS is clearly the most important voice in technology. Duh!

Just a point in case...
Apple, IBM, Sun, Microsoft would all love to make the spec so complex and braindead that it would bury X for good.
Yes, IBM would love to see something so important to desktop Linux fail... Which is precisely why they pour billions of dollars into Linux (a lot of which likely goes to desktop devel) on an annual basis.
Nice assertion.

BTW, I only say Fulton because the 4 & 5 go to Fulton (4 & 5 are the express).

I think it's worthy to note that, in the headline, CNET News called the lawsuit a "long-shot."
I doubt the rover would be quick enough. 88 feet in a day? I think the rover would be doomed either way.
That said, that's not much cause for a rockslide, considering that, due to inertia, unless a rover-caused, there are no rockslides on Mars.
Cloudy? You're joking, right? Mars has no atmosphere and it's kind of hard for a planet that has no atmosphere to have cloudcover. Just a thought.

What ever happened to the DMCA? That $1M is going to dissolve rather quickly when said coder realizes he has a lot of legal fees to pay.
No reverse engineering and cracking, kids.
