  7. Re:Need one that does some damage on New Worm Installs Sniffer · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Although this is marked funny, I have considered doing this to a lesser extent. My plan would be to write a virus that used the back doors of other worms, virus(virii) and get onto the system and break the TCP/IP stack, and change the Background image to a link that would have all the information on how to clean up their computer.

    Even though this has legal implication, I think that people would be happy to know that their computer has been infected, and how to fix it.

  9. Re:Compliant Distros on Linux Standard Base 2.0 released · · Score: 2, Insightful
    What I have found with gentoo, is that most of the programs that you emerge, will be in a different place than if you were just to untar, and make the package your self.

    This makes it quite hard to follow a general howto for a general *nix nox, while using emerge to get the packages.

  10. Information on Simplifying Linux Driver Installation · · Score: 3, Interesting
    This may be slightly off topic.

    How does a Computer know that when I plug in a USB mouse that the computer knows it is a mouse, and what drivers to use with it?

    It would be interesting to incorporate the drivers onto the pice of hardware. I mean what if insead of including a CD [that these days are filled with crap] with the hardware, that they just put a small flash memory onto the item, and stored the drivers there. Then as new drivers were avalable, the OS would update the flash mem with new drivers as they were avalable. This may raise the cost of the item, but I would rather have a item that I can use anywhere on any machine without having to search for drivers, or cary a cd around with me.

  11. Re:Wating for this on Simplifying Linux Driver Installation · · Score: 1
    This is not what I am taking about, KDE, Gnome, and all the other window managers are all well and good to have, but I would like a simple way of getting Program, and driver packages on to the system, have them easy to find, and keept updated.

    Although egos are most definatly will be getting into the way, if the Open Source community goes forth with some type of driver system, that is easly updateable, searchable, and easy to dealwith, then I would assume, that this would be implimented in any case.

  12. Re:Tough to stay with XP on Simplifying Linux Driver Installation · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For Linux on the desktop, this is probably going to be a deciding factor. Ov of the greatest features of windows is the ability to plug anything into the system, and have it just work, and thats what I would love to have in Linx. Also if the OSS community focuses on a single method of releasing the drivers, I would assume that this would make Hardware companies, be more apt to releasing their drivers to this system.

    I have been waiting for something of this nature for a while. Also I hope that in the furture that It will include a Gentoo like Repository of programs.

    Also when will the major heads of the different distros define a single good, method of packaging programs.

    No, Microsoft has been sucessful because they ARE highly hacker friendly, note that hackers, worms, and viruses, all are able to get in.

    on a more serious note, you can hack MS products, to make it look like any other product, I have heard even of people being able to make it look like MacOS.
