Emulation, I believe, normally refers to one machine pretending to be another. "Machine", in this context, refers to CPU architecture. VMWare does not emulate a new architecture; it passes x86 straight through to the host.
Always weird to see what journalists feel aren't real words and need to be quoted. These "16-bit" "addresses" allow "packets" to "reach" their "destinations".
Thanks for your replies; they've got some good usage tips (I hadn't considered password-protecting the key!). One of my main concerns was that while I memorize my password and it is not stored in the computer at all, the private key is. But if there's a password on the key, that's close to the best of both worlds.
And you're right, of course, that a compromised password and a compromised key both require remote systems to disable access for that token. Of course, one is supposed to use a different password for every system, which doesn't really have an equivalent in the private key..
Doesn't that mean that if somebody should somehow get into my desktop, either physically, over the network, an old hard drive, etc, and grabs my key, he will have access to every single machine I can access? And I'd have to make a change on each one of those systems?
I'd really like to switch to keypairs for authentication but that seems inherently dangerous. Am I missing something?
It's skewed in the sense that normally old browser == security holes, which need to be patched or else. Not the case with Debian-supplied Firefox 1.04.
I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery.
I am a little uneasy about the abolishment of slavery in this District of Columbia.
If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it.
I will say, then, that I am not, nor have ever been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; that I am not nor ever been in favor of making voters of the free Negroes, or jurors, or qualifying them to hold office, or having them to marry with white people. I will say in addition, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races, which, I suppose, will forever forbid the two races living together upon terms of social and political equality, and inasmuch as they cannot so live, that while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior and inferior, that I as much as any other white man am in favor of the superior position being assigned to the white man.
I think the grandparent is simply trolling, but the idea that Lincoln was a great hero of racial equality is complete bunk.
First, without Debian, Ubuntu would be nothing. More importantly, as long as Debian exists, we know that we have access to an unencumbered, workable, and complete operating system / userspace. Should everything else hit the fan, we know there's still Debian.
Aggie cheerleader pretty well sums it up for him too.
On a related note, I was behind Carol Keaton Strayhorn's red Suburban the other day. She drove slightly below the speed limit, but turned out of my way fairly quickly. I think I'll vote for her.

I like dyndns.org. I used their free domain service, and then when I started needing to register real domains, I stuck with them. Their target is tech-heads, not morons like the rest of them.
I consider myself fairly competent as far as this kind of stuff goes, but I just couldn't follow that summary at all. Maybe it's just because it's so late. Can someone post a more sensible summary of an attack?
proprietary is introduced at the end of the summary. It's something of a non-sequitur because up to that point, the discussion has been about monocultures, which looks like an orthagonal issue.
It's not, of course, because if we standardize on an open document format and a crippling bug is discovered in, say, OpenOffice, there are many other programs that exist or could be written implementing the same functionality. Don't really have that option with Word.

Maxthon is just an interface on top of IE, right? Are you sure there's not an IE process there using up resources?

Um... No. That's the whole point of Debian stable. They do go back through and port patches to older versions. That's the best feature.
Glad to help. Unfortunately for me, on Dvorak it's not a home row function. Oh well!

Do you not see a moral difference between a) getting a present from a friend, and b) pulling out a gun and demanding that a stranger give you money?
The latter is welfare.
Ceti Alpha 6 exploded six months after we were left here!
Groups like that aren't actually interested in the environment; they're interested in increasing their own power and importance.

The original SNES Mario Kart is probably the greatest console game ever written. My dad and I still spend hours in Battle Mode.

Plus, stable's great for servers.

Retraining won't be a problem. You just need to have computer literate employees. :-)
