The older versions of SSL has been very insecure.
How will the SSL team improve security in the new version of the SSL protocol?
I can see how this will become.

Mom, mom. My game of HalfLife is running at half the speed on this OS. That is because the desktop is up with full 3d-acceleration, fog, per pixel lightning, stencil shadows for under the text, realtime ratracer on the taskbar reflecting the desktop at a resolution of 1600x1200.
Oh, okey!;-)
Fuck sake, I wrote a really long reply and then my Mozilla crashed! Anyway:
If Linux and other GNU systems should have something like that it would have to be some kind of standard for all software. Like most Windows programs have the Vice installer or whatever it is called.
GNU systems has something similar. It is called autoconf and automake which work almost the same way (just that for example Linux don't have a registry), it places files in the correct locations.
On the side you also have APT, Emerge and RPM which does the same thing, but they don't have a graphical front-end (at least not by default, could find some for at least Apt and RPM on freshmeat.net I believe). To just change the standard most GNU systems already are using it would be a huge step both for the user and the developer IMO.
He is a science fiction writer which is known for the book series Known Space and Ringworld. I have heard that Arthur C. Clarke named him as his favourite author. He is very well known in other words.:-)
This sounds like good news. Since there are more gamers than for example software programmers, and that AMD will first of all deliver hardware for the gamers, means that a magnitude of the computer users will use AMD. Now why you might wonder?
The big other hardware vendor is Intel, which in these days have an agreement with Microsoft and the
Palledium platform previously talk about in slashdot here
and here.
By my opinion the Palledium plan should never have existed because it WILL ruin a lot for computer users in general. By aiming towards gamers with this technology it will be easyer to stop it.
Palladium, a chip based "security" initiative, is another major part of Microsoft strategy. Since Microsoft has seized control of PC design from Intel and the PC manufacturers, they are in a position to dictate how PC hardware will integrate with Windows.
This is just another reason why Microsoft should be stopped as quick as possible.
I have a Sony DSC-P51 camera with (only) a 16mb memory card. It runs vfat filesystem, and it's prettey quick. I used it once to copy some ogg music (free music) from me to a friends place, it worked just great.
I should have a bigger memory card though.
I think it sounds useless, since whatever they do to prevent sharing of illegal software, the students (the smart once anyway) will find a way around it somehow. They could always set up their own networks for example.
At my school they blocked the FTP port and IRC port, but students found ways around that too.
It just won't do, unless they have a supersmart mastereplan of some sort.
The developers doesn't get paid.
The game will be sold for money.
I think this ruins the entire idea of making the game in the first place. Sure, it would be good to have a game on Linux, but many good games have already been ported. One idea which would have been good would be to make a game free, and then show the world that there is good gaming for other platforms than Microsoft Windows and that it's free!
Interresting about software art, because I tent to look at demos as art. The word is defined here, and it is a mixture between different algorithms, graphics and music. They put it into a program witch renders pictures in real-time.
For more demos you can look at scene.org or pouet.net.
This is just another prove over how Microsoft cares about standards with they monopoly over the information technology market.
The worst thing is that most people don't care, since most of the home-pc users are acually using the technology Microsoft has control over.
Since Linux and the entire GNU project in not made to please business, I do not think it is right to make some all end-user-operating-system.
The values that the Free Software Foundation has tried to build up with GNU would be lost by putting money into it.
These people who are using the system will not understand what it is, and as someone said "they will not even know what make is", or not even GCC. I think GNU/Linux should remain the "free" Operating System which these Geeks can hack around with. There is more to it than money you know.
I read this review, and it sounds pretty neat. The only thing was that it sounds like some GUI only OS, which is not something I am found of, but then i read some more.
It came with lots of GNU software, which i found great since they are free (as in free speech), then i read even more. It has terminals, which i did not knew it had.
This will definitely be something i will try in the future.
I like that Linux is beeing used on more and more hardware. I even have a TV-encoder which runs Linux 2.2, it acually has a sticker on the side that said that. It is used by Norways largest ISP, so its good to see that Linux is getting a bit more commercialized.
There is lots of there shell-whores on different IRC networks that is always out after somewhere to run their eggdrop bots.
I wonder if this CGI invention will have any impact on that, and maybe some webserver will have to "fix" this in some way.
I am not quite sure, but i would not like if anyone were running a program on my server that was intended for web hosting.
Usually programs like these are buggy, and it does not work 100% on both systems (look at WINE for example). Since this is not the same "idea" it could be good, but i guess it will take time before people start using it fully.
I have been rated down a lot now, and I am no longer sure who acually did read on their web-page.
Quote: The libraries and applications should also compile on Windows 95/98, BeOS (thanks Yuri!), Linux PPC, FreeBSD x86, OpenBSD x86 (thanks Roger!) and Solaris Sparc & x86.
It should mean that it available for many other systems than just Linux, I would claim my first comment to still be 100% true.
Since the subject of this said phone calling from Linux i was thinking of some weird kernel patch.
Since it was some Gnome software, it was not linux.
Linux is the kernel, and only that. I bet that Gnome
program would work just as fine on for example a BSD
system that it does on Linux.
This summer there is DebConf coming up in Oslo, Norway for those of you who are interrested.
4-5 days before the conf. there will be a DebCamp,
where you can sit outside in your tent, have a hot dog and talk with fellow Debian geeks.

He changed the DVD!
.. But he got slashdotted.
He changed the HD!
He inserted a wireless network card!
He installed Linux on it!
But does it play MP3s as well? .. oh, wait.

Is this another one of those sales tricks for Ice Tea?
"Out liquid come from here!" *points randomly up against the skies*
Now they will have to redifine the "peeing on electric fence" expression to "pee on electric fence or broadband fence".

The new saying it not "how fast is your machine?", its
"How many degrees can your machine handle?".

If you would look at the webpage, there IS screenshots. here, here, here and here.
The GUI looks just like the XP GUI, and to me, it looks neat.
