From digi.no where they have had a similar discussion (but in Norwegian), a very good tip was given:
Make a hard password leaving two open spots. Never write down the password, and remember where in it you left the open spots.
Now every time you create a new password, store the location, maybe even username, the two missing letters, and that's it!
If now someone took your notebook, they would only know two characters needing to crack the X characters remaining and need to figure where the two letters fit in addition.
So you are saying that the total downtime for 150 Linux servers was about equal to 26 NT servers?
That means the total downtime for each machine indicates Windows had six times more downtime.
I personally liked the article quite a bit. I believe everything is getting more web based every day, even cell phones can navigate the net from almost anywhere now, the part everybody have problem with however is the data... Who trust their data to be in the hands of some remote company...
But what if my personal data was on a different thin client - one that we own ourselves just like the one our server is hosted on?
I would be inclined to believe it would be more secure to have the information on such a server where lots of security personel can check for intrusion than to have it on a home machine with no security personel and permanent ADSL connection...
I love firefox because it is plugin based and only gives me the features I want. I hoped the Thunderbird project had learned from this and did not start to try integrating more and more functionality into one package...
Security becomes harder as the core program gets bigger
The program will start slower if you only want e-mail
Next thing to add becomes built in feature X and Y and Z to enable even more functions...
Please don't try to make a combo like this, but instead cooperate to find how these two programs needs to interact, then only make a plugin to integrate them. That would have been something...
I have looked at the previous pages you have had using http://www.archive.org.

From what I can see, you have never had anything on the site but things related to the book. I thus am afraid you will need to obtain an alternative trademark or loose your domain.
I am not finding any trademarks registered in the US patent office for katie.com... US do have priority, and if you quickly register a US trademark for katie.com and state in the trademark what you will use it for (it should be different from what the current copyright for katie.com is for in country x). The best would be if registered in Virginia as that's where the root server is...
The rationale is that multiple organizations may have the same trademark, (like apple - both the recording studio of the Apple Records, and Apple Computers). You would thus be virtually untouchable as long as the trademark you apply for has nothing in common with the trademark applied for by them.
Now - is that worth it? I believe it is estimated that a 5 letter.com domain is worth 10-20 thousand USD. The rest of the calculation is up to you...
That's supposedly how the Indians felt when the white man first offered to buy their land. They accepted the deal thinking they were getting money for nothing - how could you really own anything you didn't create and couldn't carry with you?
I actually think it was even one step further... The white man came and asked if they could live at place X, whereas the indians said ok. However the white man wanted to have in writing that he could live there, and the indian accepted to sign over a bottle of whiskey, not knowing that the white meant they would never leave from it again and would charge rent for the land, if even letting them other people in again...
The indians believed the land belonged to god, thus they could not give or sell it on behalf of god...
I agree, system tools in itself should be in a different product, and now we see that they are proposing to do the entire system more like windows with only one option for mail client, etc, etc...
Luckily this is all only proposed addons, so hopefully the majority see the problem and say no.
Once we have reached our subscription goals, we plan to release all of the WineX source code under the Wine license, which will allow it to be directly integrated with the core Wine project code hosted at www.winehq.com. Until then, we will periodically submit selected portions of our code for integration with the Wine project.
Anyone having concrete numbers of the subscription goals? - A goal must typically follow these 3 criterias:
1) Be measurable (Concrete numbers subscriptions must be presented)
2) have a deadline (no company will run a loss project forever without reaching their goals)
3) The goal must be achivable by the organization, not based upon external unknowns.
To me it seems like Transgaming goal is not a real goal.
Morse code used exactly short and long clicks to determine the alphabetic letters. The pulse phones later on used similar technology to automatically determine the destination of a call.
The clicks where thus actually triggered different events.
Now look back on what the patent was for - it does not specify a mouse but any application button - hardware or software...
GPS is certainly a competitive area. GPS would rappidly count for at least a trillion dollar in logictical saving annually, and there is nothing stopping US from one day starting to charge for the services.
Having a European counter part would then make competition regardless of whether Europe follow suit and start charging for Gallileo. I also see the use of the redundancy - we already know that by getting the coordinates from 4 satellites instead of 3 (minimum) we boost the accuracy of the system. Accessing two separate systems at the same time would thus make it possible to get more accurate coordinates under bad conditions whereas some sattelites may fail etc.
The best would of course be that the world unite behind a system - sharing the cost, and sharing the benefits. That's most likely not going to happen as long as US controls the only system. Gallileo might be an opening for such a cooperations.
It was quite ok article, with several truths - I for one do say I am an agnostic, that is not Christian, and not Atheist.
Atheism is just as much a faith/belief as all the other religions, regardless of how you put it. And an Atheist may believe the world either became by pure coincidence; random factors that just became "life" if such thing as "life" exists at all... The other dirrection of Atheism almost seem to believe everything is 100% predictable. The world is pure numbers and the future and past can all be put in a specific formula where everyhting would be "known" when we find it (the formula).
Of course, you have several off shots within Atheism for this as well, but you cannot escape the fact that Atheism is no more faith than all other faiths in the world.
To me it is much easier to do as the article say, not take sides, and claim I am Agnostic...
If you run a security scan against our server, you would get blocked instantly, thus no mail would be delivered, and you would loose the client confirmation we just sent you... I don't see corporations buying a router that would cut of their sales as well as the bad guys... I mean - I am not running the only server that ban security scans from unauthorized people and equipment.
The only way you could check if a virus scanner had been used on the emails using our servers would be using header information inside the e-mail. A plain text header as is most common would be faked quickly, thus it would need to be a encrypted X-AV header or something that represent one of the latest AV definitions as well as the program. Now the routers would have to do all these lookups against the Antivirus vendors to verify it is valid - this is as easy as we currently look up spammer ip addresses on foreign servers today, thus makes business sence.
The problem is that most businesses depends in some degree on e-mails for closing contracts etc. To loose out all clients that are not running selected brands of antivirus software and operating systems, would not make much business sence.
In Norway we have similar rules: You cannot air commercial claiming something that might be false.
That means you cannot say your price is cheaper or faster or whatevre unless we are talking about to totally identical products. We are not here. The processor in the mac is totally different from a processor from AMD, Intel, Sun, etc. I can guarantee that if you compare a totally specialized processor for only one single operation, then that processor might be faster than the G5 processor in that particular field. It will then be false to say the processor used in the G5 is faster, even though the other only was faster on lets say integar calculations...
What allows Research in Biological Warfare to be legal in US if not in all other countries?
I believe the article is highly political motivated, and actually is not against research related with biological warfare, but rather attacking Bush'es use of such terms in (anti)diplomacy contra other nations.
Bush recently said, Cube soon will be free, mentioning Cube do research related with Biological Warfare... Just as if little Cuba is a threat to US, and calls for a so called preemtive strike...
As we know, US is boicoting Cuba, they cant count on us research to fight problems related with antrax, small pox, etc... They are in other words in need to do such research themselves.
I bet nobody is against the research related with cures for major deceases related with for example future versions of small pox. We all knows that the research for a cure also inevitably will lead to lots of research that could be used for Warfare. The question is political: should all countries be able to do this, no countries be able to do this, or are we going back to racistic black/white thinking i.e. only white people or only democracies can be trusted this...
Red-Carpet from Ximian have updates to most of Redhats products. I am not sure where they update from, but it might still be possible to get the systems quickly uptodate even after Redhat themselves stop updating.
Usually if they don't accept your mail, it is because you have configured the mail-server wrong. You would be surprised to find how many mailservers that have wrong reversed DNS lookup routies etc.
Check your mailservers domain address with DNS report and act accordingly.
You also might want to follow up checking if your domain is blacklisted using the spam database lookup at.
Mailservers may are for certain getting harder to run, but the little guy can still play if he really want to go through all the now required steps...
I use Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480A for my Compaq Armada E500, and it does really fly! I bought the system back in 99, and must say I would have gone for Serial ATA, USB2, or some similar systems if I where to select today.
It is impressive to watch the searches for files on the SCSI compared with the ATA disk in the Compaq. I dont have as many files as 50000 on it, but when searching the SCSI it takes about a few seconds to search the entire disk, vs. multiple minutes for the internal drive. I do have a 10 000 RPM disk. The slimSCSI card is the bottleneck - I can only transfer about 10mbps instead of the 40 the drive supports.
SCSI is however meant to be going 24-7 whereas IDE is better suited for more frequent on-off service.
Reasons for why they mainly focus on music

Why Only Music?

· Score: 0
1. People don't really like to read books on a computer - you'll see them come after these market later.
2. Films take a ocean of time to download for most people, usually about 100 times bigger, thus not close to as common to download as music. The film industry will probably wait for the music industry to pawn the way, and claim the rules must apply for them as well when the time is ready.
3. Music is way to profitable in comparison to investment and risk. (How much do you think it cost to make a song vs. making a book or a film?). The music industry have by far better reasons for trying to keep everybody from finding better ways to enjoy music.

The first thing I though of when seeing this was the next wave of law-suits.
Search for images you created, and you will find all kinds of similar/duplicate images.
Lots of web-sites uses images gotten from other sites, may modify them slightly, however much of the images is based upon images found on the net.
A program like this is likely to be popular among lawyers and design power houses.
