I guess the way I figure it is its all public UNLESS:
--they ask for no un-auth'ed users (yeah a simple banner) --have encryption above and beyond basic protocol (like how 802.11b is proto but WEP is encryption) --faking credentials (like attempting replay attacks on SSHv1) --just using logins/passwords that you dont have legit access to.
I figure it fair game if those dont occur as long as you "do no harm".
Though, I'd consider servers secured fair game if they harbor MY INFORMATION and have no way for ME to audit it. Then I will hack in, and sanitize my information if they no longer have a valid reason for it (eg. the recent school DB hacking incident).
Isnt self your real identity? Does it really matter if you're Paul Whackabee, Jonah Jackson, or Jason Voorhees?
We could argue that your DNA is self, but it isnt. When you bleed (from an injury), does your self leave there? Or on surgery, does your self go away there? Of course not.
If you were a perfect twin, are both of you the "same self"? Nope.
Logically, we must conclude your self is actually some instantaneous moment of your crystallized product of your knowledge.
That goes deeper in.. Does your self change? Yes it does. Can anybody predict what change you will enact in the next moment? Nope. We can therorize upon observing prior behavior, but no snapshot can ever show true self.
ANy torrents out there? I just TRIED to download the 46.3 MB mp3 but not-so-surprisingly stalled at 450KB
Guess they're slashdotted so Ill post the website text.

LQ Radio Episode #1 Filed under: LQ Radio -- jeremy @ 8:07 pm
It's finally here - the inaugural episode of the LQ Radio Show. We're still working through some technical issues, but we are interested in any feedback you may have. In this episode we have me, jtshaw, mcleodnine and rshaw. We covered a variety of topics and overall I think the show came out quite well for a number one. Thanks to John, Dave and Robin for being the first panelists. Let us know what you want to see on the next LQ Radio Show.
---- May 14, 2005 Site Clarification Filed under: LQ Radio, LQ Podcasts -- jeremy @ 4:20 pm
I've received a few questions about the content here at the LQ Radio site, so I figured I'd take a couple minutes to clarify. The LQ Radio site will be the home to three distinct things:
1) The LQ Radio Show 2) LQ Radio Interviews 3) The LinuxQuestions.org Podcast
#1 and #2 will be posted to the "LQ Radio" category and the Podcast will go in the "LQ Podcast" category. It should also be noted that there are three different RSS feeds. One for the LQ Radio category, one of the Podcasts and one that includes both. Why three different RSS feeds? The Podcasts tend to be short, usually between 5-10 minutes while LQ radio content will be more like 45-90 minutes. This means much larger files in the LQ Radio feed. If you would simply like to get all content posted to this site, the combined feed is what you are looking for. If anyone has any questions, let me know.
A couple other quick updates. The first LQ Radio show should be available tomorrow if everything goes according to plan - stay tuned. Also, when we first started doing the LQ Podcasts, we really weren't sure how things would work out. With the Podcasts now being regular and LQ Radio coming into the picture, we are dedicated to making this site and the audio content, the best it can be. We will slowly be doing equipment upgrades in the coming weeks and months so please bear with us. The next upgrade will be to a new mic, probably a Shure SM7b. One thing we need to improve is your feedback, so keep it coming. Thanks again for listening.
Last I checked, there were a few Java "compilers" out there that could run a Java package. And the language IS open for anyone if they bought a 6-pack of Indians to recode it GPL.
Too bad they dont use something like TCL-TK or Ruby... but I kow why that is. There's a hell-uva lot of programs and libraries to use for free(as in gpl'ed).
Java's free (As in beer) and GPL'ed java programs are free (as in talking drunk;) . Best of both worlds to me.
---I completely agree. Imagine the stress of changing and the downtime (something always goes wrong). My campus switched from Microsoft Windows/Office to Linux/OpenOffice in one faculty and the computers were down for over a week. After the change a massive education process had to be started. While everything is working now.. the transition was not easy and people are still having to adjust.
How in the hell could that happen? If you change slow, and with those users who WANT the change, it could go smooth.
You start out with a testbed, say a base of Debian or Red Hat. Then you add the init scripts (not/etc/init.d but local fileserver configs and setup as needed for locale) to set up the particulars. You then go to the users who want Linux or FreeBSD (or windows users whose machines are bogged down with crapware) and get a few pilot users started.
Once you have them up and running, then you can get the people who 'see how much better they run' and then want the "Upgrade". Yu can iron down the bugs with more users and more picky configs like 'Ive done that all the time and I want it done like that NOW'.
Then near the end of the user adoption, you force the stalwarts to succumb. There will ALWAYS be stalwarts, but prepare for some give because that person will bring in a Windows laptop. Just provide a publically accessable Windows=>Linux tools to help with migration and communication.
IIRC, I think it was a rare variant of Tinea. It was a smallish patch of slightly reddened/browned skin in semi-irregular shape about the area of a quarter.
And nope, there was no need for any sort of UV or such lamps. It was easily visible as Im fair skinned (read CRT tan;P ).
Ive had some re-occurance but it goes away within days of applying ol Selzin Blue (however you spell that blasted shampoo).
If there's any weird or unusual problems, a Doctor will almost always have another Doctor come and observe. I once had a weird fungal infection on my ankle, but nowhere else. My doc called in another one whilst they flipped through the pages of fungal, yeasts, and other skin conditions. Our Family Doc has worked in the field for about 25 years (10 years in our city).
They eventually found the right diagnosis after looking for a good 10 minutes. The cure was use the active ingrediant in Selzin Blue on it for 30 days (1 time a day), or buy some ointment at 5 times the cost.
The Doc said "You dont want to buy a 50$ tube of cream? Use Selsin Blue 1ce a day for 30 days."
At the end of the 30 days, it was gone. He called and asked it that was effective so he could alert anybody else if they see that condition.
That damned programs runs like a overgrown elephant in a cold tar pit (it doesnt).
I had it for 2 days and really gave it a chance. Didnt do jack-shit for me and it ended up going to a file called/dev/null . Ill stick with The Onion Router, mynd you.
I do more serious conversations over at kuro5hin.org anyways. Over here is tech-wankery. Pretty much people who cheer on Linux without knowing how it works or probably even used it, or cheers on copyright violations of big corps whilst whining and moaning about GPL copyright violations.
Why NOT whore and be a troll here?
btw, I have mod points now. I dont metamod, nor do I use mod points. I let em lapse. No sence in using what an editor can bitchslap and super-mod away. At least on k5, if the owner doesnt like what you say, he is listed along with every other person there. If you disagree, its publically noted.

Wow. They really ARE stupid ;P

Like I ask above... What is self?
Evidently not.
So web surfing is illegal UNLESS you receive mail statements from each server owner?
Hardly.
Just dont eat the paint chips ;P
;)
Wonders for lead paint
Oh, idiot. You mean ridiculous.
Err, doesnt the FCC spank down anybody who does Wi-Fi access control (if it's NOT encrypted)?
YEah, breaking an auth scheme could be grounds of breaking/entering, but when its open invite, isnt it allowed?
You know, public airwaves and all..
for the longest time, it was the smallest footprint web browser. Actually fit on a floppy and ate little memory and CPU.
Well, since the floppy's gone and we all now use USB memsticks, who gives a fuck.
Nonononono.. YOu put the boulders INSIDE the corner of your fence ;)
;)
They wont know until they HIT the fence that they've been.. messed up
He cant tell YOU that. Youre not an uber-hacker like he is!
Yeah, he's blowing shit up our collective tailpipes.
Breaking out of a CHRROT environment is plain easy IF you can get your mittens on root.
.When I did it, it was a real bear, but IT was doable.
/proc/kmem and then played with memory structures, but Im not THAT good ;P
Then, all you have to do is loopback-mount the real filesystem over my own chroot FS
If I wanted to do something real tricky, I could have then accessed
As a clarification, mirror.linuxquestions.org is the server getting hit (via the MP3 download location).
It seems that the main radio.linuxquestions.org is staying mostly up. Mostly.

does 1110 posts sound like Im new here?

How is Patrick doing from his illness? Havnet heard much about it recently, but hope he's doing well ;)

I do like his work on Slackware

Well, itd be pertinent to ignore the FOAF and go to the Califonia studies on Toxicity.
They put labels on all California sold products that "THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER".
Go there to find the root of a possible lead on that possible story.
Oh, come on.
