Also, TCP is designed to be fault-tolerant, but also semi-optimizing, taking the shortest perceived route to its destination. So unless a backbone is down, most (if not all) traffic from you to a host between which the backbone sits will travel on that backbone, very predictably. TCP is not privacy-sensitive.
TCP has nothing to do with routing. You're talking about IP...
The strength of the mesh is algorithmically tied to the number of other nodes each node is connected to.
Yes, for n participants, you'd need (n*(n-1))/2 links, wich is O(n^2) and is already unfeasible with relativey small values of n. For example, you'd need 300 peer-to-peer links for 25 peers...
Fine. You can begin by publicizing all of your personal, medical, and financial records, including your mother's maiden name, your card and PIN numbers, email addresses, account passwords, treatments for any STD's, and so forth.
Well, I think the true hacker credo actually says, "free public information, protect private information"!
I wonder what people would say if this was about Microsoft and not Linux?
It is not really about Linux or any specific OS. It's about Intel's HT-implementation and on what level to fix it. Windows crypto applications could suffer from this vulnerability as well.

When I read that sentence, all of a sudden my heart opened up and I was filled with joy and happiness! I felt incredibly warm and fuzzy all over!
The next sentence almost killed me:-(
Number 1) is just perverted and unnatural: the _natural_ marginal cost of software/per license is nearly zero for the seller, whereas hardware cannot be produced without costing anything.
It takes sick corporations to artificially control the market and make it turn in this direction.
Hmm... would be too good to be true:-) The important thing for us, of course, wouldn't be the games themselves, but the side effect that games on Linux could really help spread the OS, making better drivers available, giving us a more equal share of rights in the computing world, etc...
"Linux Kernel Development" is a nice introduction book by kernel hacker Robert Love, and it already covers the 2.6 Kernel.
It doesn't go into too much detail, but it gives a very good overview and basic understanding of the issues you have to deal with in the kernel! I'm currently reading it and getting enlightened:-)
Yes! It's fun, it's free (as in beer) and you can play it under Linux! But be prepared to get addicted... after a few days, your vocabulary will be reduced to the messages of the quickchat, as happened to the people in the video on this page (hilarious, a must see!):
...if using the internet leads to a quasi-addiction (like reading Slashdot), you can easily waste many hours a day for years of your life in front of your computer instead of doing something with other people. Something that would actually reward you and bring you forward in your life.
Well, ok, it might be bearable if the pictures changed once every half an hour or so. But imagine the same thing with a 5 second interval as syphax is using it:-) Psychedelic, baby!

Twin boys? Let me guess, the only reason this doesn't get annoying is because there are only two pictures and they look the same, so nothing actually changes?

Sid Meier's Colonization! I would love to have an open source and Linux version of that! Yes, I know of FreeCol, but that's not the same...

Was I the only one thinking FastTrack wanted to fine the Wine project for something?

Protons can't escape from stars, silly. All the tons of gravity would get in the way.
He wrote "photons". And even protons escape stars. Did you ever hear of solar wind?

Did you comply to the GPL and relase the source? He only needs to do so if he distributes the result.
To avoid contradictions in time travel, two simple rules must apply:
1) You can observe, but not alter the past.
2) You can alter, but not observe the future.

For every piece of Korean spam I get, I estimate I receive 50 times more English language spam
Weird, 90% of _my_ spam is in character sets other than latin, most of it Asian...
Oh wait I know...everyone is supposed to learn English.
Yes, everyone _should_ learn English, period. Opinion of a German.

Too bad! It was only last week that I heard that Grsecurity was so promising and more actively delevoped than, for example, Openwall

The article basically starts off with the _really_ important stuff:
"You can setup your desktop background as a slide show so that the background picture changes at predetermined intervals."
Yes! This was the one missing feature I was waiting for! Finally, I can switch to KDE!
