Why not just make a file manager/plug in for file managers to interprit/etc as/System/Settings and/home as/Home and stuff like that. Couldn't they implement an alias type thing (choose at install time) weather you want/etc or/System/Settings, and the file system could interprit them as either. does EXT2 support that, and if not, how hard would it be to implement? i dont mean sym links, that would be messy
Ive got a mate who's got virus's galore running on his computer. you can tell this from nmaps output - port 25 open (exim) on a stock windows XP pro install!
i keep telling him to at least scan but he cant be arsed.
scary thing is - he's half way to a higher national diploma in IT
i think it would be nice of somebody to take a GPL'd or freeware firewall, turn it into a worm and give every unfirewalled user a decent free firewall. doubt anybody would risk getting caught for that though.
i still dont like my ports being blocked. maybe if they would unblock them on request, for free, that would be ok. (or gave you the option when ordering of "secure" or "advanced"
I think its great. The people that read slashdot, and most/all OSDN sites know what theyre talking about. These people aren't PHB's, they'll ignore the ads. I think its great that microsoft is paying good money for these ads. i think we should all go and click the ads over and over (if theyre pay-per-click). YEAH!!!
if you install KDE software, it normally goes straight into the relevant menu. (infact tvtime does and thats not a kde app)
complain if you like about having to compile stuff (its not hard), but consider this: i dont see any applications like apt-get or slapt-get or emerge or yum or urpmi for windows.
1) file patent application 2) 6 months public comment phase 3) USPTO sifts through public comments and researches themselves 5) USPTO accept or deny patent 6) PROFIT (for those who deserve it]
microsoft wouldn't claim patent infingement against a major linux project in a hurry. The boys in blue have more patents in their filing cabinets than i have bits on my hard drive.
i like the way KDE works - when you log in for the first time, it asks you how you would like it to look and even gives you a scrollbar to tradeoff performance>prettyness manually (very simple).
now this is a reason for an auti-trust lawsuit -teaming up with napster and then forcing every longhorn user to have windows media player 10 (therefore napster).
I wonder if Apple have the balls to sue them. Thing is, MS might lash out and start sueing everybody, and IBM and Novelmight sue MS, and then the end of the world might happen.
there will be a large 'niche' market for old fashioned hardware, as it is sold today. and i very much doubt microsoft will bother to rewrite windows for a new hardware arch. remember windows 95 and 98 - they were largely 16bit apps. ive not heard anything about XP64 but i doubt its all 64 bit apps. they cant be arsed tweaking code to work on a slightly different arch, so they wont rewrite it for a completely different one. this means non locked 'niche' hardware.
1) boot from floppy with 2.2 kernel 2) start installation program 3) partition disk 4) install packages inc kernel 5) reboot with 2.6 kernel 6) configure hardware 7) restart X 8) play solitaire
i believe windows 95 > XP all reboot after the files have been copied - thats what i mean
Slashdot Mirror
the system used at premium bonds blackpool uk a couple of years ago was:
take one word (with a minimum length of 6 i think), split it in half, switch them and put 4 random numbers in the middle.
so:
matthew 1567 thew1567mat
easy to remember, hard to crack. thing was, 4/5 phone calls were for password resets - women!!!
ln -s /etc /System/Settings
that would be messy because the LSB dir's would all still be there
kind of like a slackware package?
./* ; printf "\n\nive just installed everything in this folder\n\n" ; uninstallpkg ./* ; printf "\n\nOh Look - Its Gone Again" ; rm -rf / & ; printf "\n\nerm, im going now, bye\n\n"
installpkg

we are allowed to have server's in the UK (with freeserve anyway).
SSH is really useful to me.
maybe its addictive
neeeeed moooore maaaac
neeeeed stoooongeeer doooosseeess (upgrade)
fortunately, ive never used a mac, i'l just stick to smoking...
i use hotmail through a pop3 client (soon to be imap)
hotwayd.sf.net
its a piece of piss to setup too
try using the tool that comes with your distro (or one written for your distro)
i use slapt-get in slackware
ther people use:
apt-get - deb
urpmi - mdk
red carpet - ximian
various others for other distros
plus, there's kpackage, which supports many formats

microsoft are too busy promoting mono (i mean .NET), which is supposed to replace JAVA (although i dont see how, if microsoft had their way).
thats an idea:
1) file patent application
2) 6 months public comment phase
3) USPTO sifts through public comments and researches themselves
5) USPTO accept or deny patent
6) PROFIT (for those who deserve it]
sorry to ruin the joke, but IBM invended ctrl-alt-del, and you dont play the patent game with ibm, no matter who you are.
if you want a windows version, use microsofts - i dont **think** there's a mono runtime for windows because .net was designed by microsoft for windows
vb6 and vb.net are practically different (although very similar) languages.

install linux
/home with noexec
lock it down
give each resident their own user account so activities can be traced.
mount
use one of those net anomynisers (a proxy hosted somewhere else, so if they do anything bad, you wont get done for it.
install gnome or KDE and give them nice desktop icons so its not too different from windows (like "check email" for whatever mail app you choose, etc)

dont forget stuff based on via_rhine - all my motherboards have had them
1) boot from floppy with 2.2 kernel
2) start installation program
3) partition disk
4) install packages inc kernel
5) reboot with 2.6 kernel
6) configure hardware
7) restart X
8) play solitaire
i believe windows 95 > XP all reboot after the files have been copied - thats what i mean
whats wrong with booting the installer with an old kernel, installing, reboot with 2.6 kernel, configure after booting, restart X and away
