If installing from binary: apt-get install worm; worm;
If installing from source: tar -xzf worm.tgz; cd worm;./configure; make; make install; worm; works for me for almost anything these days.
or more likely for a x-platform source-distributed (or perl/python, etc) worm./worm.shar.
Also note that a worm doesn't need to be root to do lots of damage. It could easily damage or disclose any contents of the users account. It could even open backdoors with the privaledges of the compromised user as long as it didn't use ports below 1024.Or launch UDP|TCP DOS attacks, etc. etc
I think that the FCC should require that business-use devices like this be licensed, and each one individually identified in a publicly searchable database. I also believe that reissues of identification should be prohibited. This would work quite strongly to curtail use of RFID for tracking mechanisms.
WHAT! So how does having every RFID tag ID registered in a central government database and unique curtail their use in tracking systems?
Seems to me that that would make them open to even more abuse!
Try to get them to think about the structure of their documents, rather than just the appearance.
What is a sentence, what is a paragraph? What is a section, and a chapter?
If you can get them to think more about the structure, flow, and content of their writing, it'll help a lot more in the long run than having a huge selection of fonts.
Liquid sodium makes a great reactor-vesel coolant. It has a low viscosity, and a high specific heat. Unfortunately it's melting point is 97.72 C. You'll notice that this is about 27 C above the maximum operating temperature of almost all consumer electronics.
Somebody else suggested parafin wax. I'm not sure, but I think they were also pointing out this flaw. Strangely, I had thought of experimenting with parafin to provide cooling... but not for a running system. I thought of useing a sealed case with hollow walls filled with solid parafin as a container for backup tapes inside a fireproof safe. Hopefully the melting parafin would absorb some of the heat, protecting the tapes longer. As long as it doesn't leak and catch on fire.
Ethylene glycol also is not so good... It's most efficient at about 200 C, which is what makes it such a good coolant for car engines.
Methanol works great at the temperatures you want to strive for in computer cooling. unfortunately, it's corosive, volatile, odourless, and extremely toxic.
There are valid complaints against P2P (untrusted incoming executable data, very high latency, no centralized validation of data, etc.) Use them instead of the bandwidth non-issue if you don't like P2P.
Umm, I've not looked that much at bittorrent, but from what I've heard, I think you've been misled. Doesn't bittorrent use a central server to distribute the MD5's of the chunks?
I believe the correct term is "statistically improbable".
Cracking keys amounts to trying lots of random valid keys to see if they are correct.
This is an upper-bounded (we know the size of the finite set of possible keys) NP-complete problem, which means that it could take a really long time to complete. Or it could find the right key tomorrow. The problem is that we don't know how long it'll take, but it's likely to take a LONG time.
If you were running an intelligence agency and you aquired some sensitive software from annother country's intelligence agency, wouldn't you want the source code?
Would you even consider accepting the software without it?
Foreign* inetlligence agencies are so well known for being trustworthy.
NSA: Hey! I've got this new, fast, secure encryption chip! Why don't you use it!
Rest of world: OK, let's see the schematics and algorythim...
NSA: But it's classified. And I'm keeping the private keys, but the FBI will need a search warrant to get them, so it's ok.
Rest of world: No thanks, we'll just use PGP.
Sound familiar?
The requirement to distribute source code does not mean they have to distribute it publicly, just to those they distribute the binaries to.
*Foreign is of course a relative term in this context.
Intellect also charged that it would be a mistake for secretive government bodies to use open-source licences, since these might require the revelation of sensitive information. "There may in some cases be a conflict between the Government's desire to maintain confidentiality and the requirement to disclose the software laid down by a restrictive licence, to the extent that the source code itself discloses attributes about the Government body that are regarded as confidential," the paper said.
They clearly either misunderstand the GPL or are blatantly lying. The GPL does not require you to disclose anything unless you distribute the modified version.
Thus the MI-5, CIA,CSIS, Interpol, or whatever can freely develop their own internal software under the GPL, and deploy it throughout their systems. The requirement to include source only applies if they distribute the product. I expect intelligence agencies don't normally distribute sensitive software outside the agency.
OK, so I admit I've not read the article, but what if...
What if I'm driving towards a green light at an intersection and someone runs the intersection the perpendicular to me when I'm 90m away?
Chances are I'm not going to hit it, but the system could be activated, which could cause me to panic causing an accident that wouldn't have otherwise happened.
Or, what if I'm driving towards a corner with a brick wall. I know I'm going to turn, but the car doesn't, so It activates, which causes the car to skid and smack into something.
Or, what if I expect the system to warn me if I'm going to smack into something, so I start getting careless, then one day a cyclist comes along with a carbon-fiber racing bike... not enough metal to register as an obstacle.
And, it's a shipping hazard, if the outer extents of the blade path aren't marked clearly... Imagine the damage an 11 meter blade could do to a fishing vessel.
There have been proposals to put a tidal energy turbine in Dodd's narrows between Vancouver Island and Mudge Island, but this route is often used by small craft. When they catch the tide going the right direction, they can greatly cut down on the travel time. Probably wildlife uses the same technique.
I have two machines. One is an AMD K6-2 300, 128MB PC100 ATA133 7200RPM (at home). The other is an Athlon XP 1800+ 256MB PC266 ATA133 7200RPM (at work). Both run a RedHat Distro.
Once they are started up and I've logged in, there's little noticable difference.
Not only did Linux "Suck Ass" for doing hard realtime, most of the architectures that it runs on do as well. For tasks of this nature, unpredictabilities like cache misses can be deadly, so you want much of the critical control features to run on as simple an architecture as possible.
PIC or MC68hc11 are good candidates, anything more complex than an 8080 probably isn't.
If it's controlling thrust vectoring, control surfaces, or fuel valves, I sure wouldn't want an OS like Linux, Windows, HPUX, Solaris, etc with multitasking and/or VM.
I can see the need for Versioning and Transactions, though. I've been pondering these myself.
One short-term solution to versioning (in user space on a single user workstation) would be to run a private CVS and CO/CI your home dir for each login session.
I'd really hate it if I ran a program as my user account that had a trojan.
It might not have access to change global configuration settings, but it sure could get all my em,ails, and/or connect to the XServer and grab my ssh passphrase for other systems (where I do have root access)
Or have a contract that says you get the Intellectual Property, but your employer gets a perpetual, but non exclusive right to use, modify, and distribute it. I do. But of course, the software isn't what we're selling, we're selling what you can do with the software.
the HP 4600DN is roughly $3500 (Canadian), gets the same speed, and doesn't have the blue problem. We've yet to have a maintenance problem other than running out of toner, and we do tons of CD labels and leaflets every month. We've been useing it for about 5 months.
As a bonus, it duplexes, so you don't have to re-load your bulletins to do the other side.

Probably a microcontroller. Most of the manufacturers make way more of those than any other type.

No.
