Why the fuck would you EVER be writing a shell script on a box other than the one you are going to run it on!?
I took your advice and SSH'ed into a few boxes I have around.
How many of these are distibuted as third party software/ ports/ packages?
Never mind why, it's quite common.
6) When he gets back up to punch you, point out that it would be a mistake and contrary to his values to strike you, because that would, "be awful and he should not cause more violence."
Oh come on!!!!
Knocking this retired generals lights out would be fine with just about anyone. Where most people are having problems is when you go over to his family, neighbour ex classmates, his highschool girlfrienda and all retired military folks in a 50 mile radius of his residence and start punching them in the face.
It's all about these question:
1. Can the many be held responsible for the actions of the few?
2. How much suffering can we allow to happen to the many to bring the few to justice?
Which is not to say I am against military action taken against the attackers of the WTC/USA/Free world, whatever you want to call it. The trouble is the way things are in our society when military force has to be used, the general public never has all the information before the fact (and maybe not even after).
Maybe in fifty years or so when we've had enough time to punch holes in the propaganda stories we'll be able to tell if they measures taken were justified. Trouble is there won't be anyone left to hold responsible when we've got the whole picture.
However, it is still the only Unix (that I know of) that is activily being shipped with SSH and SSL. I think that in itself is pretty amazing. I've heard of no plans for *BSD being shipped with either in the base install.
Allthough my machine is not in sync with the NetBSD-current releases lately, I am reading through the source updates regularly. SSL was merged into the -current tree of NetBSD yesterday (probably in time to ship with the 1.5 release expected to branch from -current soonish). As far as SSH is concerned NetBSD takes the hey those are ports! approach. -- two-thousand-zero-zero party over, it's out of time
Is there anyone that sees a use for this? If I want to evesdrop on you it has been possible for some time now to read radiation patterns from a monitor. Allthough usually looking over someone's shoulder should do the trick just as well. It's not like I won't notice someone sittingunder my desk with his ear to my monitor cable, right? Unless some of you have monitor cables ranging several tens of metres. -- two-thousand-zero-zero party over, it's out of time
But anyway, they said it took 18 hours to check the data, and there was a three hour window to communicate What it actually says is:
There were three 30-minute communications windows yesterday and three more listening windows today. It takes about 18 hours to process the data from each window.
So simple math tells us (3 + 3) * 18 = 108 hrs. If all possibilities are exhausted afterthis, a dnet effort would have a 4.5 day window to produce a result. -- two-thousand-zero-zero party over, it's out of time
What I absolutely DISAGREE with, however, is Katz' assertion that someone who speaks out against "pornography" is somehow diluting free speech. Free speech is free if and only if BOTH sides of the issue are heard. The trouble with this is that among those speaking out against "pornography" are politicians, who -as you stated correctly- might have a different reason when speaking out. These politicians will try to push legislation to pull "pornographic" and, for that matter, other offending content off the net, bust people for talking about sex in chatrooms and whatnot. This is opposing free speech! -- two-thousand-zero-zero party over, it's out of time
Agreed, the Judge get's it but still is somewhat off on points 50-51: In theory, then, open-source developers are at least as likely to develop applications for a non-Microsoft operating system as they are to write Windows-compatible applications. In fact, they may be disposed ideologically to focus their efforts on open-source platforms like Linux. Fortunately for Microsoft, however, there are only so many developers in the world willing to devote their talents to writing, testing, and debugging software pro bono publico.
The judge misinterprets the fact that allthough Linux (or any other OpenSource OS) is free, noone is inclined to make applications running on these OS's free! The points made about an insufficient installed user base for these OS's at the moment still stands though. -- two-thousand-zero-zero party over, it's out of time

I think I will only be able to master the most crude form of these implants, artificial interfaces with simple controls (HUD displays and such). The only way to learn how to use implants like you described is probably have them implanted right after birth. Think of these cyber implants as extra organs with more possibilities than any of the organs you have now. It would take the learningcurve of a child to efficiently use these implants, after all: there's only so much new tricks an old dog can learn. As I see it the only way around this for me is create a full "Matrix-like" VR enviroment and me vegetating in a clinicd. (With the possible exeption of alcohol monitor alike devices which do not require interaction. But they definitely lack the cool factor of the other possibilities.)
