Would have you read the article instead trying to do a FP, you would see that this is the same as automonting an USB disk.
From TFA:
While LUKS is a standard on-disk format, there is also a reference implementation. LUKS for dm-crypt is implemented in an enhanced version of cryptsetup.
I guess dm-crypt is the right layer for that, done in the kernel by the device mapper. This only will ask you for you key before mounting it.
Gtk uses cairo to render everything (buttons, etc). Cairo is a vector graphics library. Thus, it is already all vectorized.
Sorry, but this is not exactly true. Gtk delegates widget rendering to theme engines. Nowadays only the Clearlooks engine does use Cairo to render, but the developers have stated that is not ready for production, thus in Gnome 2.14 no Gtk widget will be "vectorized", altought some applications use Cairo for custom rendering.
I don't really buy that such high-end hardware is needed for Vista's new interface. Macs have been doing very fancy stuff without great horsepower.
I'm currently running Ubuntu with Xgl + compiz in an old laptop (Pentium 4 2Ghz, Geforce 420 Go) and it's incredible snappy and with lots of cool effects. When I go back to old X I just can't believe how bad X performance was, you have to see it. I see this as the proof that you don't need a 512Mb 7800 GT to run Aeroglass.
I'd bet that the high-end hardware need has to do more with.NET than anything else.
Sorry for replying to myself, but it's also worth noting that in the last history, about 50+ comments talking about this guy went (presumably by someone with enough power) modded offtopic.
I agree, this approach is doomed to fail. Such a Restart Manager is going to be a big and complex beast, and you know what happened to MS big complexity apps, they're full of holes and corner cases that nobody is able to fix.
I liked some paper I read some days ago, talking about how the Unix creators knew they were stupid, so they designed a KISS system:)
Basically a multi-core Athlon 64 could have been managed by OSX like a multi-processor using SMTP or similar software technology to distribute the processor load between the two separate cores in the CPU.
Sending mail to distribute processor load is an original idea.
Yes it is so true:( Currently I've a fat pipe, but I'm limited to 3Gb/week of transfer, so I have monitor skype bandwidth usage and shutdown the damm app when it tries to use my wire without my consent.
Let's see: Countless Linux distros = good, as it gives you the liberty to choose between many distros. But different versions* of Windows Vista = bad, as it's confusing???
What am I not getting here?
While each Linux distro is aimed to different technical and marketing goals, to the extreme that there are lots of different package managers, desktop environments, quality assurances, etc..., it seems that some Vista flavours are going to differ in only an application or two, so the split doesn't seem logical.
The open source community at large needs to take off the tinfoil hats and start doing some real development on these platforms. Like it or not DRM is coming and if you sit out the party no one is going to listen to you complain that everyone else already got all the cake and ice cream.
A quick proof:
Most of Open Source is based on the GPL, a Copyleft license
The spirit of the Copyleft movement is to ease the sharing and copying of information, trying to avoid some nasty effects of Copyright.
Clearly, actual use of DRM technology is to restrict and control the distribution of information, discouraging to distribute it by any other people that is not the owner of such information.
Today's use of DRM is incompatible with the CopyLeft movement, thus Open Source should not embrace it.
Sorry it's open source but the license is not free neither acceptable:

There was a large degree of debate when they first joined the European Union that less wealthly nations such Spain and Portugal joining would upset the balance, so they were 'eased in' thanks to legislation allowing for a transition period. Now, they are economicaly fully integrated, but cultural issues still remain. I think their behavior in this reguard is glaring example of the level of sophistication and competance in a highly technical field not being up to par.
You're nothing but a troll insulting all of us spaniards. For your info, Spain has one of the most active Free Software comunity and contributors and the majority are very skilled.
You should note that I administer a medium volume mail server (10000-30000 real e-mail a day), and 70% of the spam comes from your highly sophisticate and competent country.
And I'm very proud of our "cultural issues", those issues that prevent us of having a DMCA, software patents, simulating the democracy, going to useless wars, and not having healthcare for everybody.
So, jokes aside, I'm not trolling about QT, I'm saying both QT and GTK solve the same problem (allow closed source apps), either by paying to trolltech or by using LGPL; althougth it's very debatable what's the better approach.
So far, i think both are working well, maybe QT a little better because it's good support to commercial developers.

Would the goverment let a large amount of people be educated, then those people would realize the shortcomings of the goverment and kick them out.
You miss a point: 0. Get the same ./ editor to accept 16 out of 18 of your submissions.
Sometime is going on :)
The best info in that page is that 16 of 18 of his submissions were accepted by the same editor, ScuttleMonkey.
It's clear what's happening here.

"never attribute to malice that which can easily be explained by stupidity"
I'll try, thank you :)
(btw, I'm using skype on linux and it has the option, under advanced)

This happened with the whole BitMover/BitKeeper(TM:) debacle, and it seems that nobody had learned from it.

I hope this fact will remain true
Perhaps you should read this before moving to OS X.
Check the compiler version. New gcc versions got very slow.
Andrew Morton uses gcc 2.95, because it's 2x faster compiling the kernel.
IMHO this is a military system that we civillians have been lucky enough to use around the world, and always remember that.
So is the Internet
Check for SoftIce(most common/powerful debugger) by using the CreateFileA API to check for the SICE VXDs.
Sorry, the workaround for this is years old, SICE is so powerful that for any debugger check you can easily workaround it.
This will change with Palladium thought.
Files created by a "make install" usually don't have any way to cleanly remove or upgrade them
You can use GNU Stow

In Spain, DSL prices are (much standard):
256/128 Kbit, 25 /Month (from 18:00 to 8:00)
256/128 Kbit, 45 /Month (24 hours)
512/256 Kbit, 90 /M
2048/384 Kbit, 192 /M
Cable varies in each city, about 20 128/128 flat.
I use a radio-link 4Mbit/4Mbit, it's 300/Month.
Sorry, sir, KDE enables closed, non-free propriatory software too. All you need is a QT license. And this is not bad.
