Your packages may have been updated, but that doesn't mean your weak keys are.
Sadly it seems that the tool provided in the Debian mailing list post is only useful for detecting weak keys which are 1024 or 2048 bits. Guess I have to scrap all of mine...
Apple has a history of denying new versions of Java to any previous version of the OS. (See Java 5 & 10.3)
Frankly I was amazed that Acrobat 8 Professional requires Mac OS 10.4 when it only came out 18 months after 10.4 was released. (But then perhaps Apple was paying Adobe a little bit under the table to help strongarm Mac owners into coughing up their $129 upgrade fee.) And of course Office 2008 requires 10.4 as well.
I have a hard time believing that the OS changes so fundamentally from one version to the next that apps can't be reasonably ported. I guess the only reason legacy versions of Windows enjoy so much support is simply because of the vast amount of market share Microsoft enjoys.
Makes me glad I use a free operating system and free software, still annoying as fuck supporting my users though.
If anything Debian is MORE LIKELY to still be around long after commercial enterprises have closed up shop.
When you don't depend on a steady stream of income to keep a project running, the only threat to it is loss of interest. And since RedHat and SuSE aren't genuinely free (ie you can't get ISOs from the vendors), I think Debian will have substantial interest for a very long time.
This will stop these silly troll companies like IBM hoarding tons of patents with very few actual products.
I don't think that's a very reasonable characterization of IBM. Yes, they do have their well known "bag o' patents" which are so general as to make every piece of software with a GUI an infringer, but I don't recall them using their patent portfolio in an evil manner. (And litigation isn't part of their business model.) I'd be genuinely interested to hear about some instances where this happened.
Why isn't the law in this area similar to trademark law?
I Ain't A Lawyer (see how that avoids "ANAL"?), but it's my understanding that if you knowingly allow people to infringe on your trademark then you basically lose the rights to it.
If patent holders were REQUIRED to go after anyone infringing on their patent then they'd have to go after the big firms that CAN afford to debunk it.
What ruined my suspension of disbelief was the fact that there wasn't a single "fuck" in the entire film.
THAT was the most unrealistic element of the entire experience. They should do an unrated DVD release with the word "fuck" copiously inserted into the audio.
Just because the structure of a game and the structure of a movie doesn't mean all video game movies are crap. There have been some successful ones, after all.
Which you can't be bothered to enumerate? Which escape you at the moment?
Terms like "Large" and "Giant" don't really mean very fucking much, do they? Seems like astronomy caught more of the frat types than the other sciences.

Is it any shock?
This site is written in fucking PERL for christ's sake.
It's a wonder that it ever works.
Sounds about right.

You wanted Hans to get away with killing Nina?
Really? Then how is it that eBay owns any portion of it?
(Ignorance of the business world is bliss.)
Don't own one.
Set it on top of the keyboard and wait for osmosis to kick in?
And there are far too many of those people.
I hate Apple if only for the way they're spamming the airwaves with their insipid MacBook Air TV ad.
(Yeah, I'm working on building a MythTV box...)
Why is the graphic for the Input Devices topic a spoon?
Because you use a spoon to "input" food?
(I hope that's not it, because that's a touch retarded.)

Anyone care to explain exactly in what sense the parent comment is insightful? What is the insight it offers?

I'll believe it when Paramount announces it, not the Financial Times...
I'm sure the admins appreciate that.
It's nice to see a telescope with an OBJECTIVE, QUANTIFIABLE name.
Just look at some of these idiotic names for serious telescopes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_Large_Telescope
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Magellan_Telescope
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Extremely_Large_Telescope
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overwhelmingly_Large_Telescope
