PGP cracking is not about breaking passwords. They don't have private PGP keys. Crackers are trying to reconstruct zip file from encrypted data.
PGP encrypted zip files are easy targets, because zip has checksums.
Top 4 are not open source. They only run commercial companies that have sidekick OSS products. Their main products are commercial ones. Those people are not OSS developers. You might ask them questions about open source only if you want business related answers about open source and even then you might not get any viable business answer.
Honorable Mentions - Scott Mcnealy, Sun Microsystems. WTF?
BUT. If like me, you live in a small European country, where within the country there is practically no need for the GPS because you know most of the country by heart.
You don't need GPS, if you don't go to other places. Plus TomTom's coverage of Latvia is worse than coverage of Estonia or Lithuania.
Latvia is only a bit smaller than Lithuania. Lithuanians need navigation based on GPS, if they drive a lot around the country. Navigation helps, if they go to other major town and have to find some obscure location there.
The field size for DNS requests is in double words (16bits) increments, so I don't see why it couldn't have been
UTF8 is variable length 8bit charset. Symbol length varies from 1 to 6 bytes. Three and five byte characters included.
You confused UTF8 with UCS2 and UTF16.
then tell me with a straight face that Adobe's version is better.
Lets see.
1. Advertised some language support, but user couldn't install it. Online installation failed.
2. Requires registration just to download language files.
3. v2 uses imperial units and doesn't support metric ones. v3 supports centimeters, but does not support milimeters.
4. PDF printing is not as good as in Adobe Reader.
Tried using Foxit and eventually reverted to Adobe Reader. It is resource hog, but has less issues. Automated updates, stupid American defaults and startup items can be fixed.
I think this should be a really big wakeup call to european countries that relies 100% on american tech, both on hardware and software.
Technically Siria is not in Europe, but in Middle East. Europeans don't have 100% dependency on American stuff. They have Eurofighter, Airbus, Heckler & Koch, locally build tanks, self propelled howizers and AFVs
Why not just store all your mail in a SQL Server database? You wouldn't have problems with maximum file sizes. You would have much better scalability for those with gigabytes of email, and you could have a common interface working with the data in the terms of running SQL queries. I don't know why no other email client like thunderbird wouldn't do the same. Make it easy to access your email store, and you could easily write tons of applications to access your email.
Simple. You should not store lots of binary data in SQL. I don't think that MS SQL compact edition can handle 10 GB of emails on standard desktop machine.
Your SQL queries won't be able to do full text, body or header search anyway. You need MIME decoders to handle all email formats.
Optimal way of working with emails is to store message envelopes in DB and keep raw messages as files in hashed directory structure.
Well it looks like Microsoft has turned the Vista blunder into a Windows 7 success,
Just wait until normal user complains start flowing. Not from users who flock to every new Microsoft OS and are happy about it and not from Microsoft marketdroids.
Classic menu is gone - bad thing and bigger issue than fscking Office ribbon. Mail, Calendar, Movie Maker are moved to Windows Live Essentials. Last time I've checked, that thing was tied to MSN/Hotmail. Although mail might not be a big issue, because after Vista crippled Mail I moved to Thunderbird despite some serious usage issues on TB.
SPs things are not always good things. XP SP2 added lots of security features AND autorun.inf support to any drive. XP SP3 added more fixes, but it is still not final version and you need post-SP3 patches to fix remote security vulnerability which is actively exploited by trojans.
Windows 7 is good for new users, who've never used older Windows versions, and for brainless Microsoftees, who use latest version and talk only about relatively measured stability and speed of newly installed system. Windows 7 is Vista. It inherited stupid UI decisions, lost even more Windows features and fixed only most serious Vista usability issues. And we'll know if those Vista usability issues are fixed only after longer usage. Simple review does not test them.
All that software? Sorry, pal, it's some of it, at best.
Wine is only pour example of showing that Windows software can run on Linux. Better examples are Zend Studio (COTS that works on Linux, Windows and MacOSX) and Adobe Flash Player. Software can be coded to work on Linux even without dependencies on wine.
it'd probably be a lot cheaper to build and launch a comparable probe today
It might be cheaper to build, but you will have to wait for another 140 years to get same planetary alignment as the one which was exploited by Voyager in 70's.
Thanks, Mozilla team, for hitting the kill switch and hopefully this will get Microsoft to release a patch sooner.
Blocklist banned both of plugins without any version limits. Even if MS release updated plugin versions, plugins will remain blocked. I suspect that MS will create new plugs and try to sneak them back to Firefox with.NET "security" updates.
I think Mozilla team even considers removing features abused by MS plugs.

See you later. When you need stable desktop environment for work and not some unstable resource hogging visual effects, you will go back to Gnome.

They don't have to. Microsoft already has own dynamic web fonts. TrueDoc and Embedded OpenType.

I am not DNS guru, but guessing. RFC882 - November 1983. RFC2044 - October 1996.

What Adobe or ATI has to do with the fact that you can't install flashplugin-installer package?
Maybe they confused Jordan with Syria. Syrian military is based on Eastern technology. I don't think that SA-2 and SA-3, SA-8 use US radars.

Does it include installing linux without swap partition and turning off paging file in WinXP?

Trojans still work and can be used against security software. News at 11.
So which moron asked to remove Classic start menu completely?
QuickTime is not just player. It also includes QuickTime Pro software, which is activated after purchase and registration.
Wine is only pour example of showing that Windows software can run on Linux. Better examples are Zend Studio (COTS that works on Linux, Windows and MacOSX) and Adobe Flash Player. Software can be coded to work on Linux even without dependencies on wine.
archive.org is not search engine. Their search keywords are URLs. archive.org does not store all internet. Just part of it, which allows archival.
In google search keywords are words and urls are only results. Google's databases are bigger. They also offer more services.
Enterprise users are working on removing those f##ked up plugins completely.

Bigger shitstorm than the one which happened when MS installed browser extensions without consent from end user?
Company abused its position and put malware on users' machines. Good thing that Mozilla has some options to handle such behavior.

You first.
If you are that paranoid, cut your network cable. It will ensure that those pesky googlebots stay away from your precious data.
If you put your data on public website, others are free to read that data.
