Exactly. I don't have to lock my screen every time I move 3 feet to go to the bathroom and the only people in the house are incompetent and have never even heard of Linux before, with doors that are locked and bolted and 3 inch windows, and on top of that, use this alias to start X:
alias x="startx -- -nolisten tcp &;disown;clear;logout";
So that they can't CTRL+ALT+F1 or CTRL+ALT+Backspace into a logged in tty.
It's just... wait.. now that I think of it that is a little overkill...
One question might be...why write the data directly to a database initially? Why not utilize a faster format, then write to the DB when things have slowed down (i.e. caching)?
If the server crashes while it's still in "write later mode", then data will be lost.. Since most of the time servers crash BECAUSE of high traffic, this can be kind of bad.
He wasn't talking about that part of the article, he was talking about this part:
Last month, Secunia (Danish security firm) documented a case where a phisher somehow modified a windows host file so that when you type in the correct url in the address, it redirects you to the phisher site.
What he is saying is, you can't alter the permissions of the hosts file on windows, but with the Unix permission system, you could make the permissions be 644, owner root, and no regular user (or compromised program running AS a regular user) could alter that file.
People push Mandrake saying it's the "easiest" step from Windows to Linux ever, but when I tried RedHat and Mandrake from never using Linux before, both made such a bad impression for Linux on me that I switched back to Windows the very next week.
Three or so months later, I tried Slackware, and I haven't been happier since (I'm still using it, 2+ years later). I would suggest Slackware or Debian, more than likely Debian. Debian does most of the packaging for you, with apt-get, and Slackware leaves that up to you (rsync, manual downloading of the packages, or creating your own leet script to do it for you), and the customization available to me has left me dependant on Linux now.:)
However, the plethora of radio waves going through my apartment also cause my old surround sound system to turn itself on to a random AM radio station.
My Cambridge speakers (now they are dead, they were good speakers, too) picked up a lot of crazy radio stations via the back surround sound speakers.
One station was an extreme christian "YOU WILL BE DAMNED TO HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!!" type call in show... that was some pretty funny stuff. Then it picked up something from Korea or China or something...
[painting] doesn't protect you from any wireless signals coming in through the floors, windows, or ceiling
You can paint the floor under your carpetting, and easily paint your ceiling, too. As for windows, what type of/.er has windows that aren't boarded shut in the first place? That sunlight stuff is evil.
And notes are just instructions of how to play the music. There aren't much difference there from what I see.
Nope, there isn't. But guess what? That's not what we are talking about. We are talking about the recording of someone playing those notes, such as Kenny G playing his oboe thing to some carazy beats.
Sheet music SHOULD be "open sourced", but the actual recordings shouldn't (in my opinion, that is). If you want to compare the recordings to code, then your processor performing the opening of Firefox shouldn't be open sourced, or your processor's ability to "play" that code. The difference between some junior high student who just started playing the oboe and Kenny G is the difference between a 900 Duron and a 4000+ Athlon 64.
If I remember correctly from American History class (it's been a LONG time, so feel free to tell me if I'm wrong), but I remember it being that letter sent from Germany to Mexico that US intercepted that asked Mexico to side with the Germans and invade US that made us declare war on Germany.
Loki does not seed anything. The green ones mean that they are tracked locally(ie you get the.torrent from them and their BT tracker tells you who else is in that swarm), the red means they are tracked by another BT tracker(ie, the same thing suprnova did). In neither case does Loki seed.
Aha, thanks, I WAS mistaken. Well, then I think they do have a pretty good case against the MPAA then.
First of all, a lot more Japanese know a bit of English than Americans know any Japanese.
I know an American that speaks Japanese, and lived there for 2 years, Japanese is a mix of Katakana, Hiragana, Kanji, and ENGLISH. Their culture uses the English language in the middle of sentences, and new words (such as tech things) just use their already existing syllables to create the exact same (well, to some extent..) sounds as ours.
Why WOULD we learn Japanese when we just import from them, we import from all over the world, with lots of different languages to learn, so that's just stupid to learn them all. I think we should invent a new language, similar to Esperanto, for everyone.
Second, if you were being a karma whore here by trying to be funny and informative at the same time, it didn't work, because the text is too obnoxious to really read.
That's the point, the Japanese language has no "l" sound, but they have a mix of "r" and "l" and to us it sounds like just an "r". Much like the Spanish "v" sounding like "b".
I'm getting really sick of searching Google (and other search engines) for stuff only to find nothing but blog hits (usually from some self-glorifying twit with some catchy emo domain name) cluttering up the results.
I have never had such a problem... I haven't read a post on a blog in about 8 months (I argue/. as not a blog) and I search the internet on a minutely basis almost. I found it helps to remove the "site:blogger.com" and the "site:livejournal.com" off the end of my searches, they tend not to come up that way.
"You don't want to install - No" isn't a double negative.
Actually it is. Put that in a sentence.
You don't want to install?
No, I don't want to not install.
You might think that I inserted a negative in there, but that's what you do when you respond, such as:
You want to install?
No, I don't want to install.
So the response would be "No, I don't want to not install.", and for the other, "No, I don't want to not not install.". To put that in mathmatical parenthasis, "No, I don't want to not (not install).". Not wanting to not install, is wanting to install. So "No, I don't want to install." is the final meaning, which is what I said originally.
Basically, i don't see how their legal defense would go. "we only provide links to the torrents" would be suprnovas, but isn't loki a tracker?
Uhh, not sure if you get the terminology, I'll explain.
A tracker is a site/application that lists links to the torrents, they don't actually contain the files. SuprNova is (was:( sniff) a tracker. The only computers that have the file are the seeds.
Although, I get what you mean, and I'll explain exactly that. LokiTorrent DOES, if I'm not mistaken, seed some of their torrents. The ones marked green saying they are local I believe, and the red ones are seeded by other people.
Just thought clarification was needed for that post.
I'm missing your logic. You're arguing that pointing people to illegal things isn't illegal?
In that case, there's nothing wrong with, e.g., a high-ranking Air Force guy blogging nuclear launch codes and the location of the missile silo, is there? He's only pointing people to nuclear war; he's not doing the unauthorized launch himself....
That guy is breaking his oath or whatever by giving out classified information to people who don't have security clearance, which is completely different.
A better analogy would be if someone knew of a crack dealer, and told someone else about him so that they could deal some crack, but even that is different, because that would be committing a crime, not a civil offense. A better example would be if someone told someone about a guy who burned CDs of copyrighted movies for people for free (almost exactly the same, since this is in regards to the MPAA, and the trackers AREN'T making profit off of this minus ads).
As far as I'm aware, that's not illegal/civil offense/whatever.
Instead of a single entity, I would say have a more uniform (unified) mechanism with a federation of authentication providers. That way I can choose to use the service I trust while keeping the burden off the service website.
That is a VERY good idea.
Having all sites conform to one standard (or multiple ones if certain standards become outdated, such as IPv6 vs. the current standard IPv4), and then have multiple database providers of the same thing, allowing people to trust certain sites and, since it's open source, help the security of the database so that they can trust the page even more so.
You don't want to not install?
No.
Installing Fluffy Bunny.
Not wanting to not install is not wanting it to stop, thus continuing, and saying no to continuing is stopping (did that make any sense?). Basically, that's a triple negative, thus making it negative again. So it shouldn't install Fluffy Bunny.
Although I have no idea why you WOULDN'T want to install Fluffy Bunny, since it is so Fluffy and it's a cute little bunnie wabbit. You can install it now off cutelittlebunniewabbit.com for only 100 easy payments of $19.95. Order now and receive the noodle twister, absolutely free with $20 rebate off of 6 times the amount of the current year minus 2. Supplies are limited, so act now!
Knoppix (3.7 at least) gives you the option to have an AES256 encrypted filesystem when you choose to create a persistent home directory.
I personally find the amount of software on Knoppix extremely impressive, as when I tried to create my own LiveCD for only the software I need, it turned out to be 1.4 GB. Knoppix has ALL of the software I need (minus Firefox, Thunderbird, and Azureus), plus about 200 more applications...
I hate Knoppix' ugly interface though, and the security it actually has on it (no firewall, no root password (!), sudo logs in as root no matter what), and my solution to this is to create an automatic boot script that changes everything, along with keeping the settings I use it Slackware, all via a 128MB USB Pen Drive. I haven't perfected my implementation yet (I'm still on Slackware right now;)), but you might want to try to do the same if you can.
All of your stuff on a single CD and a USB Pen Drive, that's what I'm trying to create, and I'm very very close to completing my goal:)
Tell me about it, I saw in an ad recently the Matrix 10 DVD box set. How the HELL did they manage to fill up 10 DVDs worth? This is all I can come up with:
1: Matrix 2: Matrix Revolutions 3: Matrix Reloaded 4: Matrix Revisited (the extras disk they made) 5: Animatrix
So there is HALF of it... where do the other 5 disks go? Are they paperweights?
6: Paperweight 1 (to keep the first and second discs from flying away) 7: Paperweight 2 (to keep the third and fourth discs from flying away) 8: Paperweight 3 (to keep the fifth disc and first paperweight from flying away) 9: Paperweight 4 (to keep the second and third paperweights from flying away) 10: Paperweight 5 (to keep the fourth paperweight and the box from flying away)
Also included, a solid rock paperweight, so the fifth paperweight doesn't fly away.

If don't have internet access, how did you make this post?
Exactly. I don't have to lock my screen every time I move 3 feet to go to the bathroom and the only people in the house are incompetent and have never even heard of Linux before, with doors that are locked and bolted and 3 inch windows, and on top of that, use this alias to start X:

This is great to see, I agree.
Now it will probably be pointless to try to get Linux running on Mac, emulating Linux on Mac is worse than running the applications directly from Mac.
They are going to link to themselves...!!!!

Packages need to evolve to the next level where all dependencies are included in the package.
Okay, so say a Nicotine package would need:
Python
PyGTK
Let me tally that up. The original size would be 2MB, with your method that would be.... 65.15MB.
Cool.
Whoops, "turrets"... used to typing "torrents" since we are on /....
Also one of those links should be 'klik://e3'.
Turrents syndrome for 100, Trebek.
