... OpenBSD has zero services in the default install. I'm not sure about ubuntu, or debain, but I'm pretty sure they dont even come with SSHd That's not correct. Of course it has services open in the default install -- otherwise why do you think they claim only 2 remote exploits in 10 years? A remote exploit wouldn't be possible without at least one service running.
In my prime, after hyperventilating (not recommended for beginners), I could swim about 130 meters under water without the aid of fins. Now I'm old and not much good for anything. Yeah, ditto here but I'm working to get it back. My best on land with no activity is holding my breath for 4:20... I haven't timed myself underwater though. I'm guessing you get your blood saturated to the point just below where you would pass out?
I think this "reporting" is just a lame attempt at mudslinging AT&T. And this so-called reporting is extremely juvenile. From one of the photo captions: "Here's what AT&T saw as it rolled up to the scene of the explosion. Imagine if that hunk of fence had been some old cougar weeding her garden. Would have left a mark, no?" Very mature, guys.
So what would happen if John Carmack, Bruce Schneier, and Chuck Norris ever got together? Would you get an encrypted roundhouse to the face in stellar 3D graphics?
Options are just what their name implies, an option to buy or not buy stock at a pre-determined price (strike price). Speaking of wrong information... I think it's yours which is incorrect. A put option gives you the right to sell the stock at the strike price on or before a certain date, and hopefully the stock has dropped in the meantime. So if the strike price is $1 and the option cost is $0.10 per share, if on the option date the price is now $0.50 then you've made $1 - $0.10 - $0.50 = $0.40 per share.
If you have $10,000 to invest and you shorted the stock at $1.00 and eventually bought it back at $0.50 you could have shorted up to 20,000 shares and you'd make a $10,000 profit. With that same initial $10,000 investment you could have purchased put options for 100,000 shares. At a profit of $0.40 per share, you would wind up with a $40,000 profit. Naturally the risk is greater as you could lose your entire investment if the stock didn't decrease sufficiently.
Saying that options allows you to buy or not buy a stock is inaccurate as that only covers one aspect of options. However, you're correct in saying that shorting is another method of profiting from a decrease in stock price.
Interesting... VPS Village, however, doesn't mention anything in the plans or TOS regarding excess bandwidth usage rates, extra IP addresses, or what their infrastructure is like. For that price, I'm guessing they don't maintain a lot of redundant equipment to move your server image onto if there's a hardware failure. However, combining that with Amazon S3 and SQS could make for some interesting possibilities.
I think what he's saying is that if there's 30 great games out for the XBox360, not having a 31st great game isn't all that much. However, if the PS3 only has 10 great games, then not having an 11th great game is three times worse. I'm pulling those numbers out of a.cx domain, but that's the gist of it.
Similarly, if there's a geometric center of our universe's expansion, it's not a 3-space point within our frame of reference, and thus moot when talking about distances between two points in our Universe. Can you elaborate on what you mean by the geometric center not being a 3-space point within our frame of reference? Is this because our frame of reference is moving with respect to any such center?
I also know a person who had pretty severe bends when he ran out of air at 40m or so. Is it feasible in such a situation to get to the surface, grab another tank, and get back down -- whether you're able to by yourself or with assistance? Or are you already screwed by the time you make it to the surface and going back down wouldn't help?
On this blog entry Mike Shaver clarifies:

Glad you enjoyed the party, Robert. To clarify, I was making a personal commitment, not a Mozilla one, that you could redeem that card if there was a vulnerability that you believed needed to be turned around in 10 days. I didn't consider at the time that it would be taken as a Mozilla policy statement -- even *I* don't make new policy announcements at late-night parties in Vegas:) -- but it seems to have been read that way, which I can understand in hindsight. I'm sure I'll be answering for my potty mouth and apparent lack of clarity for a while... Also spelled out on his own blog.
Can you blame them? They are not totally without cause in that analysis when the history of women in male dominated professions is considered in a more general sense. You may be the exception, but how do they know that? What the hell? So if a women demonstrates through her actions that she's an idiot, you think she's right to incorrectly think she's being singled out due to her gender because, historically, that has often been true? There's a lot of things which, historically, have often been true about women as well but I don't see you advocating similar incorrect treatment of women because that's how it's always been.
The jaded version of news that I see on Slashdot presents GPLv3 as a device that can be used to trap Microsoft. I'm sure it stands on its own as a fine license, but the way it's presented here it appears to have been designed specifically as a type of poison pill for certain organizations.
Regardless of what it is, it strikes me as rather ironic that this supposedly free software license is considered so shackling and restrictive that companies will do anything to escape it.
They only are having success in the police states of america that means that they will soon parish. Are you sure you don't mean a church state? Perish the thought!
Since a few years it is legal practice that an offer can be accepted by "mouseclicking" closing a valid contract, which includes ebay. This is totally offtopic, but I've noticed this with Germans who speak English as their second language. When using "since" in this manner it's expected that there is a specific point of reference in the past, such as "Since a few years ago..." or "Since 2005...". Because "a few years" doesn't indicate a specific point in time, you need to add "ago" to make it specific. When the point of reference is the present, you could also say "For the last few years...".
Aside from that little quirk that I see frequently, your English is great and certainly exceeds my ten word German vocabulary.:)
Telling them "I *might* have hacked your servers", even if you're computer illiterate, causes them to launch an investigation and tear apart their entire network looking for evidence which probably costs $200K in wages, vendor fees, consultants, etc. The remainder comes into play if they actually find something and have to take action.
The intended audience has violent proclivities. Games with this level of realistic depictions of ultra-violence feeds those neuroses. An AO rating is perfectly appropriate. So instead of having to be 17 in order to purchase the M-rated game, we should get really tough on this type of senseless garbage and make it AO-rated so that only those who are 18 can purchase it. </irony>
Where's the difference? Both serve only one purpose: To make potential customers and investors think you have something worth stuffing money into when there is essentially nothing to see and they'd move along. Such as "Linux is ready for the desktop" or something like that?:)
They even went into detail to explain why each statement was FUD, and that made them look even more pathetic and clueless. But it apparently got you to click through and most likely allow them to deliver banner impressions.
Secondly, E-Bay has had this feature for years. If MercExchange was really trying to protect something so vital to their business as to require an injunction, they should have filed years ago. From the fine article:
"In a mixed outcome, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in the nearly six-year-old case..."
