Sorry but Linux is extreemely poor comptetition in this area.. If you read the Symantec alert you will notice that:
"At this time over 350 computers have been observed performing this activity, "
"350" computers, that's not a competition, that's a joke !
And note that Symantec has a history of beeing anti-Linux in their Advisories.
People go on and on about how high the resolution on a camera is, but I rarely take a picture with my 2 megapixel camera that's sharp enough to take advantage of all 2000 of those pixels.
In a 2 MegaPixel camera, there are 4 types of color receptors. So, at maximum resolution, each pixel in your photo is made up of of light that was received by at least 4 receptors. That's why your photos look 'blurred' when you zoom in on them..
i guess that a moment of silence is best... ... ...
for the future iraq victims
This is the coolest thing I'we ever seen. "We're going to attack your country to control your oil exports, some of you will get killed in the process, so we'l have a moment of silence rigth now.".
Poor Iraqi people,. hihi.. Don't mess With Uncle Sam !
It does not matter how much you preach about tinkering, as long as it damages existing business, it is freedom stinker for many companies.
The way you choose your words incicates that either 1) You didn'y read the article, or 2) You read it but didn't understand it.
*Tinkering* per-ce doesn't damage anything (Well, except maybe your stereo or whatever thing you are tinkering with).
Let's say that the entertainment Mafia gets everything they want today. That is, tonight every thing they have ever requested will be written into law. Do you think they will stop demanding new things ?? No way !
And that is exactly why you have to protect your rights. If you don't you might wake up one morning and only be able to 'lease' certain things, that is, pay rent for using them.
Hmmmm,,... to late....
We have completely orthogonal skill sets and cultures.
Yep, it's sometimes refered to as left-brain and right-brain people.. There ase such fundamental differences in the skill sets of those people that giving all the responsability to one person will lead to reduced security. I can't understand who ever came up with the idea of combining the two ?
The XFree86 team admits xfree86 is not engineered for speed and RMS admits that GNU is not engineered for user-friendlyness
You didn't read the links did you ??? It looks like MS has some realy scary shit on their to-do list. A security problem they know exists, but don't know what is, and is in active use (enough to issue a bulletin).
You should have read This As of August 2002, the PSS Security Team has not been able to determine the technique that is being used to gain access to the computer. However, because of the significant spike in activity, the PSS Security Team has determined that these techniques are similar and/or automated in some cases.
50 years after Einstein, and people still don't realise that the electrons in a piece of copper wire travel at the speed of light?
That's only one half of the truth. Although the electrons travel at almost lightspeed, they constantly change their direction back-and-forth, so if you could see a single alectron, it would appear to be traveling at about 3cm/second in (actually *on*) a copper wire.
triple DES encryption and act as a stateful firewall
Well, IPTables is a stateful firewall.
And "triple des encryption" ?? Meaning PIX/PIX connections are encrypted ? I think FreeSWAN could solve that problem ?? Unless I am not understanding correctly... "triple DES encryption" could realy mean a lot of things in this context.
You can't get the rush of exhilaration from stealing
No, not realy. I was thinking of it in terms of a solution to propose to the company where I work. The PIX would been bought + a support contract for it.
I just don't see the added value in comparison to Linux/IPTables .
I'm not sure if I understand what the point of this article is. Sure, it violates DMCA and the routermonkey broke many other laws (as many posters already mentioned),
Jebellius Christ !!!!!!
The *article* violates the DMCA ???? Gimme a fucking break !!! Has everyone just turned into a ignorant whining pussy ???
sure, you could say it's their fault for having
an outdated business model, but there's a problem: these sources are where A LOT of the
content for your PVR comes from. If they die, there's nothing for your PVR to record
A small button, on the remote control, that skips 30 secs of the video stream is now supposed to be able to kill TV as we know it ?
Allright slashdudes, tell us, how much did they pay you for posting this ?
Someone puts out a record, and has free downloads on her website, and is making money, and THAT is supposed to be an indictment of whatever the RIAA is or is not trying to do
RIAA's strongest claim is that easily downloadable music, hurts sales. And even though it's not a scientific study, at least we have a real-world-example here. Personally I think Eminem's last album was also a good example of that claim's nonsense.
From wired:
But by using blending techniques, the company can display 58,621 "color combinations
This is exactly how Palm wants people to perceive the Knowledge Library article. I.e. that the m130 can *display* 58,621 color combinations. This is simply not true.
Now have a look at Palm's Knowledge Libarary article: Palm is updating its statements of color capability, because it has since learned that the combination of color technologies it employed deliver about 58,621 color combinations, an approximate 11 percent difference.
Note now they use the word *deliver* instead of *display*. The m130 can only *display* 4096 colors at a time, but by updating those colors realy fast, it can create the *illusion* of 58,621 colors. The colors are 'delivered' to the user's mind, by tricking his brain into blending different colors.
I'm no big fan of Apache (or its configuration nightmare specifically).
So the majority of webserver admins in the world are having a bad dream ?
Look, trying to use logic and something arguable to express your views is OK. But when you claim that the majority is stupid without any backing for your claims. It realy looks the other way.

Try this:
Go to google.com and enter "Go to hell" (With quotes)
Hit "I'm feeling lucky"
You will then find yourself on Satan's doorsteps.

True, american's don't realise that this was a *revenge* attack on 911-01 ?
Bush Junior and Bush Senior were relaxing on a Florida beach one summer afternoon..
"Look dad", says Junior, "a big boat"..
"That's not a boat son, that's a yacht.."
"Huh, how do you write that father ?"
Small pause, ... "No, you're right son, that's a boat."
Finally
Linux can compete with Microsoft.

Which part of the DMCA does it violate ??
I guess there is a lot of people who have been playing with ipfw, iptables, ipchains etc
And would realy, sincerely, like to know:
What can I do with a Cisco PIX that I can't do with Linux and IPTables ?
Why not evaluate Red Bull and shit like that?
It's a shame that RedBull is actually banned in many countries, and people just don't know the meaning of *energy* drink.
