In Denmark, Jyske bank uses disposable passwords. Costumers get a keycard with 80 passwords and 80 keys. Everytime you use online banking you provide your ssn, the unique number of your keycard. Then you enter your password and unique password from the keycard.
It is a very simple and, I believe, secure solution. You have to know both the password and have the keycard to log in. It also makes it possible to use online banking from any PC in the world without worrying about keyfiles on the harddrive or anything. I especially like the fact the no script or worm or whatsoever kan access my banking because access to the little note in my drawer is required./Esben
with no shops for electrical parts in town i found it easier to use just standard medical tape which is given away for free here. What can i say? I am lazy and cheap:)
Yes the cpu is what uses most power during dvd-playback. To make laptops use less battery while playing DVD's a solution is to have an dedicated decoder chip, like some of the first systems with DVD-roms. I have a mpeg tv-card. The encoder chip on the thing doesn't even get hot while encoding. I reacon a decoder chip in a laptop would mean wonders for battery life while playing DVD's.
Secondly, linux applications are built around a wide range of supporting libraries, few of which are standard to all distributions - this means either huge packages, or a dependency resolution mechanism, like apt.
You are right about that. What i was wondering is how huge a package will be if it included some of the more uncommon libs. I understand it is a fine balance, but i just feel that many applications could do a better job. Take xmltv for an example. It depends on some 15 perl modules, which the user has to install from CPAN. Last i tried to install xmltv one of the libs was broken and wouldn't install, which means i still don't have xmltv.
A perl module is just a few Kb and the only excude not to include it is lazyness. I understand the developers reason not to include the libs though. Most of the oss developers work in their spare time, and are motived primarily by their own needs and can actually completely disregard others users needs.
Since you posted this, now the spammers will simply stop the filtering and the heck with rejected addresses:-(
ok. Then just put SPAM in your real address for people to remove. I recognice the grandparents story, use an address with spam as a part of the address, and private domain for my private address. I only recieve spam on the non-spam address.
we can cut your licenses if we want, you'd be advised to stop bundling linux." this takes away from more vendors supporting linux and thus less user base than windows.
Yeah but that wouldn't be a serious violation of the trade law in nealy all civilized countries?
Would making this kind of contribution accessible to the general public at a generic price better mankind? Certainly. But would this happen? Never.
Yes it would be a better world today, but not in ten years because the med companies wouldn't have the cash to pay research of new medicine. eg no cure for new decieses would be invented.
I doubt that. The NYT gets paid mostly by advertisers and secondarily by people who want to read today's news and commentary. I don't think lack of a copyright would change that. Wouldn't give a you a nickle for yesterday's NYT.
Of course it would. Then someone would make a mirror of it and claim the whole paper to be his. He just has to make the product a little better so take away NYT's business.
What? No. Too many mail servers are running on *nix machines.
Yeah, but remember that ten years ago all webbrowsers were non-ms. You can't just rule it out that easily. I could imagine that many users would change their mail-provider if they would get rid of all that spam
I like the ui of firebird better, but some fonts are rendered ugly (like the ones on slashdot) on mandrake 9.2 using firebird. The fonts of the suite is prettier and more reader friendly.

Reminds me on a sed script from http://www.kernelthread.com/hanoi/
(I tried to paste it, but it contained too many juck characters) http://www.kernelthread.com/hanoi/html/sed.html
Apparently it solves the towers of hanoi problem. Pretty impressesive. I have no idea how any human can keep track of all that noise.

Just replying to myself: It is actually evalf(Pi, 40002) and take the second last to avoid rounding errors
If you consider evalf(Pi, 3) you get 3.14 which is jus the second decimal. You want evalf(Pi, 40001); which gives a 1. /Esben
I think what the OP meant was that under Windows it isn't nescecary to install wine in order to play games.
Sure. I am fit to serve, but didn't because I was lucky and took the right number from the pile. Don't know if you draw numbers in the US too.
Yeah i thought about that too, but it seems to ugly
2. PuTTY - the only terminal I've found that handles colors and stuff right.
Do you know if it is possible to use putty as a replacement for cmd/cygwin locally?

Is the gtk from dropline special? I get a "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded"
What is wrong with msn in gaim? I have been using it for several months, both on linux and on windows.

Discussing the price of a recent released product doesn't make sense, because the price undoubtly will drop soon.

Can you help me getting gimp 2 and gaim to run side by side on windows? Seems that the gtk-releases they require are incompatible.
What about fixing png transparency for Internet Explorer first. I can't count alle the headaches i've got because of IE's lack of standards.

Sorry about that. This has got to be the latest first post in history. Better luck next time. :)

But not many users would change to a provider if it meant they couldn't receive plain-old, real SMTP emails from all their existing contacts.
Then they would just both technologies for a while. One year ago all my classmates were using icq as their IM. Now they all use messenger.

I am not sure about what you mean having the /usr/src/linux symlink point to the kernel-sources i did that.
