A good way to combat a software or even a hardware keylogger is use the mouse to type in letters in random positions.
For example, if you need to type in your email password in a webmail autentication form, you could type the first part, say "bud", then click on another part of the desktop, say the url bar of the browser, type in some random garbage, move the mouse again and finish the password, adding "rose" to "rosebud".
Since keyloggers don't track mouse movements or clicks, the phisher wouldn't be able to breakdown and harvest the password from the keylogger.
PS. It also helps not to use obvious passwords like "rosebud";)
Why scouts? Read the following for an answer. Remember kids, copyright is valued more than genuine and harmless fun with friends around the campfire.
ASCAP Reaches Agreement With Guides and Scouts
A major collector of copyright fees in the United States is ASCAP - the American Society of Composers and Publishers http://ascap.com/ and in Canada SOCAN - the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers http://www.socan.ca/. Regional offices are charged with the responsibility of collecting fees and the following article is taken from the Wall Street Journal, July 15, 1997.
"Martinsville, IN. - The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers reached an agreement with the American Camping Association allowing camps to use copyrighted music, including music sung around the campfire, for a nominal fee.
The camping association, which is based here, said the agreement calls for it to pay $1 per camp per year for permission to use all ASCAP-licensed music. The association represents more than 2,200 summer camps, including some Girl Scout and Boy Scout camps.
Last summer, several Girl Scout camps deleted ASCAP songs from their programs, including "God Bless America" and "This Land is Your Land", after ASCAP notified the Association that camps must pay a fee to use copyrighted songs. Following a front page article in this newspaper, ASCAP reimbursed 16 Girl Scout councils that did pay the fees and exempted the Girl Scouts from paying license fees in the future. But ASCAP ad not clarified the license policy for other nonprofit camps.
ASCAP said yesterday that camps that don't belong to the camping association may be subject to license fees, but they won't have to pay "if there is no direct or indirect economic gain from the performance of music".
After reading news like this, please consider the following: stop downloading, stop buying, stop listening to artists that are represented by these organizations. Teach your children that there are free alternatives, and they don't need to listen to Brit or Avril or Dursts new shit to be cool.
From the plot it seems that the movie will have no realtionship with the events seen in Silent Hill 2.
By the way, that game was all about the mental illness suffered by it's protagonist, James, after spending 4 years torturing himself for having killed his terminally ill wife. His actions, or rather your own, ultimately decide if he comes to terms with what he has done or if he kills himself because of the remorse. James is more or less like a perverted Homerus, as he ventures to and from Silent Hill in search if his wife.
The game is deep, touching, evocative, shocking and completely different from any videogame out there. It also has one of the most frightening and disturbing soundscapes ever heard, thanks to Akira Yamaoka's talent. It is one of the very games I'd call a work of art. Unfortunately, the sequels simply don't match up to it's provocative genious.
>Surely their innovators can create even better engine? One that is alot faster, renders better etc. etc. Why do they need KDE for it?
Now, don't be arrogant yourself. Like what he said, a TCP/IP stack is more or less similiar to a rendering engine. Take, as an example, the wheel: cars are faster, better looking, etc etc... so why do they need a carriages wheel? It was a sensible choice that Apple made by supporting the OSS movement and freeing their thinktanks for something else that really need it.
I agree with you on the fact that he completely fails to understand what Linux is all about, since he can't identify what Linux is in the first place. So, "As seen on TV"...
- Are you talking about the Linux kernel? Then to what user inteface are you referring to, "make menuconfig"??? - Or is it the so called "operating system"? In that case you'd call it GNU/Linux, since it is both the kernel and open-source software running on top of it - think Samba and GNU/GCC, which benefit from all the work that the Linux users and developers poured into it.
- And what about the user interface? Do you mean KDE or GNOME, both also available for FreeBSD? Are you then suggesting that FreeBSD also sucks? I hope not, or you'd be better off quitting your job. By the way, what about the Brushed Metal interface? I'd say that was ripped off from Enlightenment - circa 1996 (http://www.enlightenment.org).
One last remark: in the server world, where Linux is still king for quite a number of reasons, a bootstrap sequence that doesn't abort and continues in degraded mode can spell a lot of trouble. Picture this scenario, not totally uncommon these days in production environments: your machine is part of a cluster in controlled load-balancing. Acceptable status is "online and functional" or "offline and non functional". "Online and in fuzzy degraded mode" is something that a sysadmin doesn't want to hear, since that's the exact sound of a load of cow dung hitting a fan.Think erratic load distribution. Think ARP poisoning. When Apple will provide a version of Mac OS-X server that handles all of these possible pictures then you'll manage to get rid of the IT guys (and Linux as well). Until then, good luck.
You probably mean whos optimizations. Gentoo doesn't offer , or better suggest, any specific cflags out of the box for stage 1 installs. It's up to the user.Stage 2 and stage 3 installs come with very safe cflags for gcc, such as "-O2 -pipe", but with a "-march=foo_processor" that's hardly over aggressive.
So what you're referring to is probably the age old debate on whether, say, precompiled binaries offered by the other distros are slower than ad-hoc binaries compiled by the portage user. I'll pass it on to someone who is more tech-savvy, but that's not a real concern for me. I use gentoo for it's up to date repository, awesome customization features, great concern for security and the clear and concise documentation. All these features are time-savers in their own.
It's this kind of childish fanboyism that's keeping many people from trying Linux out.
Linux has it's reasons and uses, so does Windows. The secret is choosing the right tool for your job, according to your skills, patience and time. Linux can be a better tool for some (I use it at home and at work, after I convinced my boss it was ok to let me use it if I didn't lose any productivity), but for everybody. Flaming these people calling them losers is not going to win any of them to your cause, let alone leave them a positive impression about you and the operative system you're promoting. For this reason, your behaviour is more damaging to Linux than the propaganda you normally get from Microsoft.
what if Tridgell unwillingly crashed the linux BK server, trashing the whole source repository and nuking days (weeks?) of contributions, patches and features of the kernel?
They're around since the long gone Amiga days. Their first title was the well known Black Crypt, a Dungeon Master clone that made use of the Extra Half Bright mode that gave the game graphics a glorious 64 colors on-screen.The game was visually impressive, but was quite unattractive compared to the competitors offerings, especially Eye of the Beholder which was an official AD&D license.
It is rumored that the original working title of Heretic was "Black Crupt 3D". There are quite a lot of similiarities.
Try ToMENet. It's Mangband, but far more expansive and "traditional" in the popular RPG sense. It's got Permadeath (default) and Everlasting options to boot. I love that game, it's the only mmorpg I play and ever cared about, because it *real* fun.
Next time you borrow a movie to your friend or girlfriend, remember what you're doing is theft, since since the rightful owners of the copyrighted material aren't being compensated and you are illegally distribute it (yes, you are, just check out what the EULA says about "lending").
The best solution is to stop whoring ourselves out to the shit the movie/music industry produces. Don't download/rent/go-to-the-theatre-to-see anything the produced by the people/corporations represented by the MPAA/RIAA/etc. When they sober up I'll consider taking a look at their shit I can happily and healthily live without.
Be sure to educate your sons and daughters that way too. Staying and playing with then helps them know they don't need to pay for something to have a good time. It takes a little imagination and the time involved might make you miss the promotion to executive, but you probably get back the money by actually keeping it.
Listen to the quality music that people make freely available on the net. Yes, it's legal and it's catchy, fun and rewarding to listen just, if not more, than the commercial stuff. You know why MP3.com got shut down? Yes, because free alternatives cut deep into commercial sales, and music popularity is proportional to how accessible the music is (how did brit and the spice girls sell so well?). A portal so popular like MP3.com was creating a new status quo. They shut it down by buying it and letting it die.
Next time they come up with a you're-my-wh0re slogan like "you can click but you can hide" you can give them the middle by replying "you can sell but I won't buy, you jerks".
While the first link fools Konqueror, the second link (ssl https: connection) makes it freak out, prompting a nice warning box stating that the certificates don't match:
"The IP address of the host www.pypal.com does not match the one the certificate was issued to."
It's quite frightening that firefox (or Opera) doesn't actually sound the alarm after checking the certificates.
That's a pretty unfair comparision. If users don't know how to use a mouse they should never fiddle with do-it-yourself distros such as gentoo, but use Mandrake, Ubuntu o SuSE.
My personal experience with using a USB mouse, despite all the criticism towards the way Linux deals with USB (what a dirty hack, etc), is actually better on Linux than on Windows.
In Linux, I can unplug my mouse from my desktop PC and plug it in my laptop, and the reverse, and it will start working in a second. Silently and instantly. In Windows XP, the pointer sometimes didn't work, forcing me to unplug it and replug it again.
Despite people saying otherwise, KDE is also good for gaming. I experienced no problems at all. Compared to a bare X session, UT2004 ran with the same identical performance (in terms of FPS) under KDE 3.3.1. on an AMD64 with 1024 MB.
