They won't. It'll just be a addon that every distro uses and advertises. Eventually, it'll be such a selling point of those that do use it that it will not be a vurnurability anymore.
I want it to search my javascript files, my html page code, and other source code files. Other than that, there all the same. When a desktop-search tool does that, I'll pay 20 dollars for it.
Otherwise... It's MS. Better not let it send anything through your firewall!

A malfunction has caused the spacecraft to dump its highly radioactive fuel onto [insert densely populated area]. Evacuate this area immediately! If you do not, possible side effects are nausea, vomiting, and death!
But how are you going to crack that drive open to solder it? It looks to me, from my own drive, that if you pull the case apart, the drive comes out on one side and the circuitry on the other, causing even more damage. ???
ABSOLUTELY! Number THeory is one of the BEST subjects around!
Proofs are so beautiful when done right, and I am good at them. I'm 4th best in my state at proofs. But anyway, if I had mod-points, I'd go on and give it another Interesting. It is a great post.
'from the discrete-audio-data-storage dept.'. Have they looked up 'discrete'? Perhaps they are looking for 'discreet'? This flagrant and execrable cacology is offensive to the verbivorous or well-educated Slashdotters. And I see this cacography everywhere!
you should expect to be spyed on. Do you trust a company when you send your credit card number over a unencrypted connection? And I thought that the cardinal rule of chatrooms is never give out personal information. If you say something incriminating, how, how, HOW do you expect that it is safe when you don't trust your credit card number to the same medium?
Besides, if AOL couldn't do that, I'd be scared to be on AIM. Imagine all the criminal things they would talk about. And what authority would they have to prosecute the people who say they just killed the President after he was just assasinated???? Hmmm?
to the compost pile just outside the house, and wash it out every once in a while. Put a grinder in, and we have the ultimate in laziness. Just throw your shredded newspaper down the pipe right before you wash it out. Problem solved.:)
It is *based* on Firefox 1.0, yet it *imitates* IE, and it has its own new toolbar that is _ugly_. So why is it different from Opera which can imitate any browser, yet looks reasonable?
Even 6.2 is nicer than 7.0, and any new release is a step further on the road to a horrendious browser that might be orange, black, and royal blue for its theme colors!
That would benefit them. Now I think I will offer a prize of a few hundred thousand for another common crypto method and the condition is you have to find the substitute, plus everything you do is my property. Makes it quite profitable to offer the reward!

Seriously, if there is a better alternative, bye-bye Usenet!
It just struck me - is Usenet sort of a mailing list(round robin), a forum, what?

I have to have a computer for each IE - I can't just go haveing 4 versions on the same machine. It finds the new version and launches it instead.:(
I think IE5 is the best job they have ever done. IE6 is bland and no improvement, and IE4 is not supportive of ALL the latest features, so I use IE5 when I can. They still need tabs...
When will we stop argueing about who had tabs first? It's really offtopic!

Everybody saying that the nuclear power is the way to go, with only a few exceptions, is not mentioning the waste. What WILL we do with all that delicious fresh radioactive waste? Pile it up out back? Sure nuclear might be 'safe', and perhaps it is efficeint, and perhaps also 'green' in that it doesn't pollute the AIR, but the waste is a pretty big problem that needs to be addressed.

They work better, and we don't have to destroy human tissue. Now Joel Salatin thinks that saying that chickens fed dead cows is safe is like an abortionist grabbing a wiggling baby and saying it's just tissue. I thought so too, but had not found such a funny way of putting it.
See some of the non-embryonic stem cell work to see how ridiculous it is.
Introduction - Part OneJust
over two months ago we were given the opportunity to go to Germany to
test PC power supplies units (PSUs). Now you might wonder why we had to
go all the way to Germany just to test PSUs. It can't possibly be that
hard to test power supplies can it? Well, in fact, testing them
properly is quite a challenge. The equipment we used costs in the
region of $20,000 a piece, somewhat beyond our own equipment testing
budget. Thanks to Nanopoint UK, we were given access to the test
equipment used at its headquarters in Germany, where it is known as
Maxpoint. This is where Tagan power supplies are designed.
The test equipment consisted of two Fast Auto
FA-828ATE PSU load testers as well as some additional equipment that
was used with power supplies that featured two 12V rails. The PSU load
testers were only able to place a load on one of the 12V rails and thus
some extra equipment was needed to properly test the latest generation
of power supplies.
As
we only had two days at the test facility in Germany, we had to limit
the amount of tests run. Each PSU was tested at 25, 50, 75 and 100 per
cent load on the 12V rail(s), with the 5V and 3.3V rails making up for
the additional drain. Those who know something about power supplies,
might wonder why we did it this way but the explanation is quite
simple. All modern computers put a much heavier load on the 12V rail
than the 5 or 3.3V, so this is the most important part to test.
However, if you have an older (Pentium III or an early Athlon
system) these test results are not going to be quite accurate. This is
because older computers relies more on the 5V rail, but as they have
much lower power requirements than current machines, all of the power
supplies on test should in reality work just fine.
Several changes have recently been made to the ATX
PSU specification and some of them are fairly easy to spot, either on
the packaging itself or by looking at the connectors. Some of the other
changes aren't that obvious, so we are going to list the most important
ones.
Dual 12V rails are one of the recent additions and the
main reason behind this change is to protect users PCs. With increasing
power requirements the amps on the 12V rail have constantly increased,
and if this had continued unchecked a PSU failure could potentially
result in a fatal accident. With the new design this risk has been
greatly reduced and we should see a transition to dual or even quad 12V
rails on all high-rated PC power supplies this year.
One other
change that is good news for your wallet is that all new power supplies
must have a minimum efficiency of 70 per cent at normal load (around 50
per cent load and upwards). It should also be no lower than 60 per cent
at light loads (around 20 per cent load or below).
As we'll
demonstrate in our tests, the rating on the PSU has nothing to do with
how much power your PSU actually draws from the wall socket. What is of
more significance is its efficiency. The difference between how much
power a PSU draws and how much it actually delivers to the motherboard
determines its efficiency. The closer together these figures are, the
less power is wasted, saving you money on your electricity bill in the
long run. In the most extreme case during our testing one of the power
supplies had an input/output differential of over 300W, which is highly
wasteful. All the figures are outlined in our graphs, both in
percentage and in actual watts.
Other
additions to newer PSUs includes a 24-pin EPS style power connector,
instead of the 20-in ATX power connector. This has been designed for
the new Intel Pentium 4 processors, but has been a server and
workstation standard for some time. Added to this is a new eight pin
12V connector, which will eventually replace the four pin 12V
connector, but this is unlikely to happen for a few months yet. A six
pin connector for PCI Express
graphics cards should start appearing shortly as well. Some o

Goats love kudzu, but after they eat it they are sort of wobbly... now we know why.
They won't. It'll just be a addon that every distro uses and advertises. Eventually, it'll be such a selling point of those that do use it that it will not be a vurnurability anymore.

Congratulations George! Now what use is this? In cryptology? But how?
Or Inept Explorer? It's time to OPERAte! And/or catch fire!

It is still commendable that it is being made smaller - that is its main disadvantage.
