why does SSH continue this 'not invented here' crap with certs?? I don't care if the new certs are better. I don't have any new certs but I've got loads of x509 certs and I'm not going to throw them out.....
Interesting posts so far, but they all assume that the host is running on the metal. What are the recommendations for running VM guests which tend to have crap disk access speeds? I've turned swap off and had real performance improvements, but hell, occasionally it crashes (not a huge problem).
you know that Kword is designed to be like Framemaker. Well it is at least designed for typesetting and columns, so it can be used for docs and newspapers alike. I've used it and I like what I've seen but it still needs some way to go b4 it is functionally equivalent to openoffice.
In the past I have used Word to write a document, then used a few weird conversion tools to formats such as rtf and html to produce a LaTeX file. Word was good at all the grammar stuff and editing and LaTeX produced a beautiful document at the end.
Now the world has moved on and we have the ODF, so why doesn't someone (me not being a programmer) write a LaTeX that can read the ODF instead of the.tex files. Then I can edit to my heart's content in openoffice or abiword or whatever and produce a final output in LaTeX.
The original poster mentioned that he didn't like the funny fonts in LaTeX but to me that was one of it's beauties. Word and I think openoffice use Truetype which is a quadratic curve spline whereas LaTeX goes a power further and uses cubic splines. All of us who have done linear algebra know that a cubic spline will allow a smoother curve than a quadratic one but that it requires more calculations. So could openoffice not give the option of using cubic splines??? that would go some way to reducing the gap between LaTeX and the rest!!
Perhaps America should consider its own ethical system before criticising a third world country. Most americans know and appreciate that the health coverage (just to bring up 1 example) in the USA is a disgrace to the most economically powerful nation on earth, yet feel powerless to rectify this. Perhaps before boycotting chinese products, americans should consider boycotting those companies that buy politicians and are a cancer upon their body politic.
looking at their use of xml tech and the url like nav bar at the top, doesn't their choice of wxwindows seem strange!!??!!! I would have thought that what they are attempting to do would be best implemented in mozilla's toolkit. perhaps they could help speed along MRE. I know mozilla can be slow, but the phoenix project has shown that it can be better optimised. perhaps with their resources they could help out not just in this application but with others. they themselves wold obviously benefit as mozilla is ported to more platforms. so please, OSAF, consider mozilla for your frontend!
well you know when washington DC is destroyed and the mighty greenback is worthless, you could always use the euro !!;-) no wonder they water down the beer in the US, if you lot ever got drunk you'd never be able to tell which not was which. We have coloured notes. In fact I've heard the Irish are proposing a luminous yellow 20 note;-)
Also don't forget the Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol, the south-west of england. Fantastically built by Brunel, with an amazing view to boot. good geek stuff and romantic too.
you should try the devil's nose train journey. It's a line in Ecuador that doesn't really go anywhere. it starts off from riobamba and then works it's way thru some amazing country before decending a ridiculously steep mountain. All this and you do it sitting on the roof of the train. terrifying if you have a fear of hights like me;-) Ecuador is small and easy to get round. For the geeks there's active volcanoes (there's one going off right now near the capital Quito), rainforest and of course the equator. And Finally of course there's the Galapagoes islands where the idea that has rocked fundamentalist religons (Darwinism) was born.
have you noticed that the page linked to(Webmaster World) is similarly broken! it uses tables to display not to store table data. Slashdot is also broken not to mention gnomedesktop and many other sites. you also tend to get sites that offer mozilla sidebars that use tables to arrange presentation. it's time that website writers gave ppl an incentive to upgrade their browsers. that's how the browser wars were sustained. you needed the new browsers to get the best out of a site. as for keeping netscape 4.x compatibility, well I reckon that should only be done for the next few months or so. if ppl are still using netscape 4.x then they should have no objections to upgrading to netscape 7.0.
I have had little problems using CSS for positioning in both IE and Mozilla 1.1
It's my understanding that TrueType uses quadratic splines to render fonts. Judging by the output of latex would it not be better to jump ahead of windows and use cubic interpolation to render???
What are the extra computing loads that this would cause? Anyone out there an expert?
It would be great if X windows could look as clear and good as TeX does. Also for once we wouldn't be playing catchup with M$
Any opinions on this?
all of this just shows the lunacy of the US. in all the discussion that I saw from my default rating level, there was no mention of the really obvious. why is there a need to fear the threats of high school pupils? the answer: guns!!
to anyone from a civilised country the need for citizens to be armmed to the teeth is unfathomable. The talk I hear most from americans is that they are need to preserve freedom. This is nonsense when you see the statistics of gun violence and the general level of paranoia in US society. Where is the freedom from fear for the innocent???
It's time the US grew up and let go the trappings of a revolutionary state. George III (there were 2 before him you know) disappeared a long time ago, and you can be sure that Britian doesn't want to rule you anymore;-)
If you are worried about genetic maniplutlation I have bad news for you, something much more radical is coming. When nanotechnology finally gets going in roughly 50 to 100 years from now you won't just be able to change your offspring, you'll be able to change yourself. Not only that you'll be able to change your enviroment.
Think about this for a moment; one day you can be a man the next a woman maybe the next you'll want to be green. Not only this will be possible but you could change your bones from weak brittle old calcium to a super light buckyball carbon structure. Have superstrong muscles and perhaps move your brain inside your rib cage for safety's sake. In other words become a new species. The world about us will become programable and easily adaptable to any disease or changes that occur.
Nanotechnology is not without it's dangers as is genetic engineering. But genetic engineering will only be the beginning of our understanding of organic processes (along with non-linear mathematics). In the end it will lead to organic machines and individuals that may be indistinguishable from the machines that aid their lives.
On one hand you have evolution of our species with our history kept intact, or a takeover by another species who sees our history and culture in the same way that we see the dinosaurs.
I want to work in China when I finish my PhD. I am a reasonably able unix admin with experience in sunOS, solaris, win (NT 95 98), HPUX and of course Linux. Do you think there is demand large enough to require foreign workers?
I am currently studying ecg data from hearts. We have showed that a healthy heart follows just such a distribution as that mentioned by the article in the financial times.
The interpretation of this is that the heart is in a self-similar state, that is all lengths of time between heart beats occur, at all scales - the distribution of which is a power law. The heart is in a similar state to a condensed matter phase transition, that is its control mechanism keeps the heart in a critically balenced state, ready to change period rapidly.

the cert is not the same as the transport. It's not certs that make TLS vulnerable, it's TLS.
SSH only has to make sure that it gets the public part of the key on the server. Then it's the same as ssh as normal

apparently XeTeX supports OpenType. (info from wikipedia)
