Does anyone wonder why publicised cases when RIAA prosecutes underage kids for copyright violations involve extremely young females? I mean, most sharers (as well as Internet users capable of installing and configuring P2P software) are males. I'd expect the most hit group to be 16-21 years old males. Or just media are focusing on those few very young girls within 260 people (as stated in the article) sued by the RIAA.
However, relying on version numbers to determine the number of vulnerable OpenSSL sites is flawed because vendors backport security patches. So a site using OpenSSL on a Red Hat 9 system will likely report itself as OpenSSL 0.9.7a even though it isn't vulnerable to any of the issues mentioned and the situation is similar for SuSE, Debian, Mandrake, and most of the Linux distributions. Additionally, many of the vendor distributions of Apache have recently started supressing all the extra module information by default, so newer distributions (ones that are not vulnerable) are less likely to be listed.
It seems that Microsoft had lost it's momentum. Next edition in 3 years, when Samba is faster than Windows Server 2003, Mozilla is better than Internet Explorer 6, and GNU/Linux is rapidly conquesting desktops may mean only one thing: when Longhorn will finally be released, world will be dominated by Open Source Software.
Constant evolution in hardware due to Moore's Law, kicks forward software evolution and Microsoft apparently don't care.
Given the current speed of adding features to GNU/Linux and FreeBSD I have no doubts that Longhorn will be long behind competion when it'll be released in 2006.
Nethack used such features for a years. Lycantrophy happens often at nights, undeads are stronger around midnights, Friday the 13th, really brings bad luck, and all dogs-alike creatures reacts to phase of the moon.
Mozilla extensions can do almost anything you want
Consider: Electrix -- not developed anymore, but still functional. From its site: "To edit the text in a textarea, hit Ctrl-e. The editor you set up will appear. Once you exit the editor, Electrix will write the changes back to the textarea."
Or htmlArea -- this works within browser and suports IE beside Mozilla; but of course you don't want users to use it, aren't you?
Typical problem is removing read-rights from the backup account.
Well in FreeBSD that is not a problem, since operator account was designed to do backups. This user has a read-only right to any filesystem.
You have to use root account to set no-dump flag however.
One word: taxes. Company spends on me twice the money I receive. Naturally those taxes makes possible free university education, free health care, cheap public transportation, even free flats (if you wait long enough (approx. 15 years)). Anyhow, I just wait until 1st May 2004, and EU -- here we come;-)
...it's very good think.
I live in Poland, where unemployment rate is as high as 20%, 50% of university graduates are unemployed, and where I work as a system administrator for about
1000 zlotys (less than 300 USD) monthly and last payment was from March.
I have a Masters Degree in Physics, and I am finishing my Masters thesis in Law. I'm 25 and still living with my parents in a flat (let's just say, that renting one room flat costs over 500 zlotys (half of my pay)) and I consider myself very lucky having a place to live, a job, and at least some perspectives.
So whenever some US corp. is moving out of US, we people from underdeveloped countries, are rather happy, as this means better future for us.
By giving Evian six distinct moods, each with its own unique (and frequently contradictory) likes and dislikes, developer Seed 9 has become the first game designer to accurately capture the tone of interactions with a normal human female.

Of course, as always, when EU directive is being concerned -- real law is actually an implementation of it by national legislatures. If such implementation will be good or bad is another matter.
bug-of-the-month club n.
[from "book-of-the-month club", a time-honored mail-order-marketing technique in the U.S.] A mythical club which users of `sendmail(8)' (the Unix mail daemon) belong to; this was coined on the Usenet newsgroup comp.security.unix at a time when sendmail security holes, which allowed outside crackers access to the system, were being uncovered at an alarming rate, forcing sysadmins to update very often. Also, more completely, `fatal security bug-of-the-month club'. See also kernel-of-the-week club.
However, it has been a long time since that catchphrase was coined, and bugs in sendmail are not so common, as years later, therefore all that flames directed at sendmail is wrong. (OpenSSL has a much more scarier recent history of vulnerabilities -- and do you remeber recent bug in BIND?).
So we just have yet another example of stereotypes living in slashodotters' minds.
(And no, I don't use sendmail -- I just never could comprehend it's configuration).
You wrote: - Customers register 3rd level names (ie: firstname.lastname.name)
So what? If you want.uk domain it's the same.
You wrote: - Customers can't use the DNS services that they use for 'real' domain names
They can. At least Verisign provide "point this domain to: My own DNS" checkbox in their account manager.
You wrote: They charge an additional annual fee to have access to the corresponding e-mail address (firstname@lastname.name).
AFAIK it is not like that. firstname@lastname.name is just being forwarded to firstname@firstname.lastname.name by mx.nic.name (Want to see my e-mail headers?). So if you want to run your domain yourself you can set MX for firstname.lastname.name whatever you like. If you want virtual hosting -- you pay for it extra (but isn't just the same like with all other domains?).
Well, I have 22 letters in my name I have no such trouble. It fits nicely on cards and nobody has no trouble in writing it down. On the other hand here in Poland everybody has at least 10-15 letters in their names so we are get used to it.
Regarding Name Overlap -- that problem exists to every domain, not only.name.
Regarding Spam -- it's also pretty easy to guess that there MUST exist john@hotmail.com or fred@whitehouse.gov -- try to guess my name using some telephone directory. (Or just try to say it;-).
Regarding long names: Not everybody lives in US. While in Poland it is possible to have domain in ccTLD (like www.onet.pl), in UK for instance all must use subdomains (like co.uk) so in UK people use addresses in third level domain (like bbc.co.uk). And I have no problems telling people to use my.name address. They don't have any problems using, it it's rather web forms that objects.
And you can register not only firstname.lastname.name, but also initial.petname.name or nick.nick.name.
So I think problem lies in marketing the product not in product itself.
...and I will be very unhappy if it disappear. First of all, I want my own domain and since I am not an ORGanization, not a COMmercial business, not a NETwork backbone.name suits me very well.
I use it since beginning and I receive very little spam (while I post to USENET without even spamblocking my e-mail).
If I would buy.com domain my personal data will be reavealed in Whois database, so I don't care if my name is put in e-mail itself or not.
And finally now I can switch from different ISP without changing subscription addresses, my Bussiness Cards, and sending e-mail to all my friends about new e-mail.
I can agree with one thing, it is not properly advertised. But did you hear about.museum,.coop or.aero domain?
Note: English is not my native language, so please disregard any spelling or grammar mistakes.

However in law-speak piracy can only occur on high seas. So parent is right.
Not really. You can use browser extensions to avoid pasting URLs into address bar.
