  1. price according to real cost: any chance ? on .tel Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Will we ever get a domain with a price the same order than the associated cost (adding a small line in a database that is then cached by the ISP servers)

  2. windows users don't have bugs, viruses, spywares:) on Following Bill Gates' Linux Attack Money · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The parents forget there is an even larger number of people who are fed up by viruses, spyware and other windows problems (yes windows has some shortcomings, did you know ?).

  5. 7C is enough for infections on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 3, Informative

    7C is enough for many pathogenic microorganisms
    so if you do this long enough, watch the infections

    During the procedure blood is replaced with saline solution at a few degrees above zero. The dogs' body temperature drops to only 7C, compared with the usual 37C, inducing a state of hypothermia before death.

  14. Re:Does DRM Really Work? embedded private keys on Intel Claims No DRM · · Score: 1

    secret private keys are embedded in the chips, so that only these chips can decrypt what is encrypted with the matching public key

  15. You can boot on a ROM without any DRM on Intel Adds DRM to New Chips · · Score: 1

    Want to setup a secure server? Use DRM to make sure that only a signed kernel will run and make sure that kernel will only load binaries which are signed in turn.
    Want to setup a secure server? Configure then lock your Bios to only boot from a READ-ONLY MEDIUM (like a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, locked USB key, locked floppy, locked flash ROM, etc..) to make sure that only a signed kernel will run and make sure that kernel will only load binaries which are signed in turn.

    No need for a DRM that will allow greedy corporations to tell you: if you want to have an Internet Access from the ISP cartel, you have to use the latest trusted Windows OS.

  16. that's also why I turn JS off when not needed on A Peek at Personalized Google · · Score: 1

    I always turn JS off when not needed. For safety and faster rendering.
    And now I learn it skims useless redirections. Good.

  21. Re:Scalability is here,papers on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 1

    freenet "paper": http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=149 637&cid=12543926 As for Mute, i think this same Ant algorithm can be used to optimize the search queries: http://mute-net.sourceforge.net/howAnts.shtml I'll just rephrase "upon receiving this message, node X learns something about Alice: it learns that messages from Alice come through a particular neighbour node" in "upon receiving this search query, node X learns something about this query: it learns that someone is interested in this topic, and that messages from this person come through a particular neighbour node"

  22. Re:Scalability is here,papers on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 1

    As I said, you may want to read the Mute Papers on "ants algorithms" and the Freenet papers on "graph theory applied to trusted links".

  23. Scalability is here,but 6 forwards can be slow on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 1

    Each F2F-P2P node is an anonymous proxy and does forward files and queries between 2 friends' nodes.

    Like is said in the Freenet MailList from the article (and the Mute homepage) the path used between 2 nodes will evolve to become the shortest available.

    But if the network is very big, "shortest" could mean it is still comprised of 6 nodes (see the 6 apart theory), or more, depending on the underlying trusted links topology.

  24. similar trusted links: WASTE,Mute,NapShare on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 1

    The new Freenet with trusted links will be quite like these anonymous friend-to-friend networks:

  25. use "nice" & "chrt" to modify scheduling prio on Intel Dual-Core Systems Begin Shipping Monday · · Score: 2, Informative

    "nice" was meant for this.

    With Linux you can also use "chrt" to specify that some task is "realtime": it will always get as much scheduling as it wants (make sure it will not loop endlessly though).
