You can compile (and people frequently do) all the most important elements of any FOSS OS - kernerl etc. There is absolutely no benefit if you know what to tweek. I do enjoy picking up flame points however. I need to lower my slarma!
In March GoogleGuy commented that this sort of activity usually happens to low quality websites.
Anyway, what kind of website uses just one jpeg of "google", a search box and thats it. I swear theres nothing sophisticated going on in the background - no banks of servers around the world, or advances database algorithms or anything like that
When he has a login anywhere, instead of Firefox typign it on pageload, he just pushes his finger onto the pad. Chances of someone faking his hand?
Right, so he uses it to login ANYWHERE. So he goes into a cafe and plugs it in (meanwhile people are looking at hime like he's a nutter - which he is!!) I am an assraping haxor with spyware + keystroke etc. recorder on his cafe machine. No matter what exotic approach he takes there still has to be a plaintext version of his password on the computer at some point so he can login (this is why audio DRM's music files dont work!! : )
Now Not only do I have the password, but if I got his email account name and bank details etc, I have the passwords for all of them too since he is using one master password.
Now I have all his money and buy many many fingerprint scanners of my own for my uber ass-rape facility in a secret mountain layer...
The good password requiremnt is not helped by the fact that users are also required to change it every xx days, so not only you need to remember a strange password, you have to remember a different one every couple of days.
scary stuff like you see in movies like "The Net" with SAndra Bullock would actually happen.
You would have your credit card, e-mail,.etc all reachable with one password. You would be owned like you've never been pwnd before!!
My solution. Blend culture into your "e-life"
Come up with a rhyme that you use to make passwords.
Like:
bah bah black sheep have you any wool!!!
Now generate a SHA hash for your rhyme.
Carry the sha program wherever you go..flash drive, CD, floppy whatever you use.
All your passwords would be hashes of the rhyme
Example:
your e-mail password:
SHA("bah bah black sheep have you any wool-email");
Your credit card.
SHA("bah bah black sheep have you any wool-ccard"); etc etc etc.
You would never have to worry about forgetting your passwords. They would all be based on one rhyme.
But you better keep you sha program handy wherever you go.
Also, you cannot replace common sense. Dont use dodgy cafes. Patch your home computer as much as possible. Use Linux or OpenBSD or something for your sensitive data!! ; )
All you ever need is a good strong hash function (as long as it's still strong!) and a nice nursery rhyme!!!!
"Samsung expects Flash memory drives to make the move from MP3 players and digital cameras to larger consumer devices as Flash-based drive capacity continues to expand."
The most interesting aspect of the Cell for meis the independence and powere of the vector processors. Otherwise, there's noting it can do that an intel or AMD can't (AMD anyway:P)
"Each Cell contains 8 APUs. An APU is a self contained vector processor which acts independently from the others. They contain 128 X 128 bit registers, there are also 4 floating point units capable of 32 GigaFlops and 4 Integer units capable of 32 GOPS (Billions of Operations per Second). The APUs also include a small 128 Kilobyte local memory instead of a cache, there is also no virtual memory system used at runtime.
Independent processing
The APUs are not coprocessors, they are complete independent processors in their own right. The PU sets them up with a software Cell and then "kicks" them into action. Once running the APU executes the apulet in the software Cell until it is complete or it is told to stop. The PU sets up the APUs using Remote Procedure calls, these are not sent sent directly to the APUs but rather sent via the DMAC which also performs any memory reads or writes required."
A bit complicated to understand, but you get the picture.
IMHO, aside from graphics rendering and video, stream processing, and DSP etc, I think it's got serious security potential because of the independence of these vector processors. I would expect it to be very usefull for secure processing. Let's face it - it's a bloody complicated platform!!! IT's gonna be good for security. The API for it alone would put many crackers off...

Still in the early stages of development, Eiger will run a bare-bones set of programs directly from the desktop. The list will include the Internet Explorer browser, Windows Media Center, a firewall and antivirus software. Most other programs, however, will run off a central server.
Does anyone else smell what I'm referring to in subject!
I wanted to say positive but all I see is a central server controlling our desktops more than ever before.
So, why the hell aren't we using disposable biodigradable mini drives????
Come on people. As blue ray etc. disc capacity increases, it is never going to keep up with ray daya transfer over scsi etc..
No matter how this technology advances it still ends up with a laser burning an etch into a disc - always slower than dinamic flipping of bits.
I believe the only answer is a cheap easy to manufacture mini hard drive (like a hot-plug mini hard drive). That way you get your high capacity together with the transfer speed to compliment it...
..but what do I know?
and everyone is still using floppies : )

It's really sad that we have such high capacity easily scratchable media. Why o why are we not using mini discs....

I'm surprised no one mentioned bit torrent or distributed computing in general. One nce side effect is that machines are not as idle or dependant on server bandwidth..

Thats why I think my solution - http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=150601&cid= 12628446 - is better.
And if its a password that expires every couple of days, use a seperate hash that puts in random bits as well for this task...
