I was thinking more along the lines of intercepting the system calls with an OS hack or some kind of virtualisation. Where the TPM physically resides shouldn't matter much. The system probably wouldn't even need to actually have a TPM.
I'm playing devil's advocate here. I believe the kid is in the right.
But just because the word's being used in a way which is consistent with its dictionary definition doesn't mean it isn't hate speech. You can probably find "nigger" in a dictionary.
But I'm not seeing why the other distributions matter that much to Ubuntu's release schedule.
Because Ubuntu is not actually the only Linux distribution, and they can't just tell upstream what to do without seeming very arrogant, unless some other big distributions agree with them.
Is Ubuntu really going to wait for KDE to wait for SuSE to get GNOME compiled with the latest GCC?
Why the hell would KDE wait for SuSE? It doesn't matter if upstream is ready a little before downstream. However, if it happened the other way 'round, SuSE would have the option of either releasing a little late or not including that version. This wouldn't disrupt the whole system because no one is waiting for the distros (well, except the users).
It almost seems as if they have just noticed that there is nothing they can do about Linux's domination of the server world, or the decline of the desktop, and have decided that Windows can be the the frontend/thin client.
Of course it won't be ready by then. They'll keep putting the date back. But they hope that if they keep saying it's almost ready, businesses won't get impatient and migrate to Linux.
It's been known to Linux gamers for a while that games that run on both Windows and Linux will generally perform better, often by 10-15% (by FPS), on Linux, at least on NVIDIA hardware.
Interesting points, but please stop using "user space" to sound clever when refering to matters relating to users. It doesn't mean what you think it means.
Linux is a kernel, which typically has GNU userland stuff running on it. HURD is a kernel, albeit a rather strange one. Like Linux, It is designed to run with a GNU userland and any applications which run on modern POSIX OSs like BSD, Linux and Solaris.
When people talk about running Debian on it, they mean the userspace utilities and applications from Debian, which form a good base for any experimental POSIX OS. It would not be "Debian GNU/Linux", because it would not have any Linux in it at all, not even a little bit. (Linux properly refers just to the kernel, remember?). It wouldn't be Linux any more than Gentoo on MacOS X is Linux.
The maps link you posted is about 20 miles away from Area 51.
Still interesting though. It's not far from some pretty bloody big craters (look east). Maybe it was built before the stuff around it, as some kind of strange nuclear-blast proof thing to watch the tests from?

In my first year at the University of York, we had to learn Maple and had an optional FORTRAN 90 course.
Computer science students seem to think that FORTRAN is funny in some way...
I was thinking more along the lines of intercepting the system calls with an OS hack or some kind of virtualisation. Where the TPM physically resides shouldn't matter much. The system probably wouldn't even need to actually have a TPM.
I predict that this won't be too hard to break by somehow intercepting communications with the TPM and emulating it in software.
I was under the impression that most MRI machines use an electromagnet. Are you sure yours has a permanent magnet?
Doesn't an MRI machine produce vibrations as well?
Might these not be detectable subconciously before you are aware of them?

LOL WUT?

I'll second that. US cops accidentally shooting a foreigner wouldn't make the national papers.
I think they mean that the flaw they exploit exist on multiple platforms. The actual payload to be executed would of course have to be re-written.
What is this non-toxic, non-flammable liquid, given that it probably isn't allowed to be a CFC?
After reading the article, I've tagged this post !cool. I suggest you all do this.
You mean Windows "NT"?
Of course it won't be ready by then. They'll keep putting the date back. But they hope that if they keep saying it's almost ready, businesses won't get impatient and migrate to Linux.
Ssh. The screenshots probably all show a tasteless pink theme with default "Pony" backgrounds.
Thanks for the Fortunes file. Dunno why Neuromancer fortunes aren't packaged on Gentoo; they're clearly more important the Zippy or Dune.
I think you either didn't read the link you posted, or don't know what "reflect" means.
Your link is talking about light being bent by the hole's gravitational field.
Don't be so quick to criticise those "well-educated scientists".
You use IPv5?
Wow, that's obscure.

You are still confused.

Machineguns were the most common way to down aircraft in WWII...
