MY calculator says its "Critical exception" and now refuses to turn on... Does this mean they are going to make file sharers unable to to be turned on too... mandatory castration is a bit harsh
that was but one example and a rather poor one if i do say so myself(doh) A compromised user account is a dangeour only to your data , if the system is secure. A compromised root account is a dangeour to other peoples data and your own(Local and remote if the computer is set used by someone for illicet)
root is ment to be über powerfull in design , and should not be used lightly . ok perhaps it was a foolish example but my example of using it to conect to a remote machine is very valid. if i type format c: i get very little results as i dont use windows;) and when i do it certainly is not as an admin for a user account.
for security local acces is all bets off , but if you use root to make remote connection then you are asking for a buffer overflow or some other exploit to come your way.
"I defy anybody to tell me why is it more secure to not run as root. Nobody really has a good answer. They say 'oh, yeah, it is!', but it really isn't."
rm -rf/ chmod 777 -R/
amongst a high seas of other things that make running as root unsane on the "woops scale" as to be in dangeour from a remote source , well if you make a conection an open conection to someone you dont know when you root then...
Heretic: cool Heretic 2:not so great but allot of fun hexen : oh yeah Hexen 2:.. it was fun jedi knight II : one of the best star wars license games Jedi Knight II jedi academy: really should have been an expansion pack, or atleast in that price range , but fun all the less Soldier of fortune: fun knee blasting action Soldier of fortune II: what a waste X-men legends : havnt played it
Raven really does have some major points in my esteem . and i hope they make good use of the quake name , ofcourse a linux port and a mac port will amongst the top priorities for me , these are ofcourse on par with the gameplay(i dont use windows so i have to have the ability to use them on par with gameplay , normaly gameplay is über alles)

not true , whilst it may tar a few games , Compare Thief , System shock 2 and deus ex alot of fps games do follow a paint by numbers aproch but not all. these may not be typical fps games and are far better when compared to rpg games , these are still under the fps brush. (the only reason i had windows installed on any system,untill cedega caught up were these games)
Dont have to tell me about that one;),They made the mistake of trying to pull that stunt on me (Detuches telekom) and the person i had on the phone got taken through every one of the consumer rights laws they had implemented over the last 50 years(i exagerate) , well in the end they droped my contract.
The thing is they have no real right to do this and more people need to be infomred about our rights to tell these people where to go. you are right though , they are really trying to tighten the thumb screws and we should not stand for it
I apoligise i was a bit obtuse , i did rather loosly enfer the fact that it was only for scripts , i apoligise . you are correct in the context of programs ofcourse... I realy should learn to use preview
Well shouldnt this really be the way it should always have been. The fact they they try to impose a mandatory term of services on people is has always been something i have had a great deal of problems with (im not from the USA,dosn't work like this where im from , they just hit you with a contract for 2 years). Very few other service industry impose such penalites upon us , infact its quite odd to me that this behaviour has been allowed , are there not laws top prevent companys from abusing monopolys in this way .
i apoligise then , i do tend to be a bit defense of my perl;) as im sure you can understand. the real use i can see for this is making scriptable dialup events on the phone , for if im ever roaming and want to do some admin work as i really dont fancy a massive bill from my mobile company and having the script cut me off with resonible quotas for data would be grand
I think your missing the point , or making a joke.. The point is that perl support will allow thos of us with a background in perl to produce applications on our chosen computer for the mobile phone.
As for perl being incomprehensible,well i am fairly sure if you comment it well and use good coding practice then those problems will disapear.
:D cheers , i really have to try epiphany again , i havn't for while. this is an insanely usefull feature that i am ammased hasn't been taken on by every browser out there.
ok if your managing a previous set of bookmarks then this could be a large 1 time pain the behind , but for starting a new colection this is just excelent.
honestly having a look through the list of features i am highly impressed with how far epiphany has come since i last used it.
That fails to hit the point , what he wants to do is find a way to manage the book marks ala id3 on mp3s, Which infact is not a bad idea i just had , have you ever used itunes , well imagine bookmarks with metadata:D im sure someone must of already come up with this , but couple a meta-data search with bookmarks that are tagged by site, genre , importance , catogry etc. and you have an easy clean way to browse for relevant info that you have acumulated. if anyone knows a project like this then i would be glad to hear about it
suid is not something that a normal user would know or care about , this is a wake up call for other developers and script writters to learn proper practice. SUID can cause major problems and is a rather large vector for attack.
ofcourse i may have missundersrtood you , do you mean developers who shove suid down our throats ?
from an admins point of view , i no more want suid on any system i manage than i want ordinary users having root access
I was using public roads more as a metaphor for air-space , perhaps it was a litlle vauge seeing how these are cars aswell , though i think the only new rules needed for public highways would be involving take off and landing .
I suppose they mean it dosn't come as standard as you have to conciously decide to install it , and since they dont need the overheads of two windowing systems..
As much as i dislike the way suns managment acts and as much as i love to use linux and GPL code , he has a point that linux is still not on par with solaris for an nfs server of this magnitude . Its great to use F/OSS whenever we can and if linux handels the NFS well enough then sure use it , that does not change the fact (that in my experiance) solaris still has better handling of NFS.
other that that i agree with you
I can't be 100% sure but i doubt these would fly in the same manner as standerd light aircraft , and if they are ment for the masses then.. well before we know we would have a rather cloged airspace and without tight controls that is a potential Disaster area , so some rather tight new license would be required
Im fairly sure these device wont be valid road going vehicals for a while atleast. I am wonder (fairly sure they will)if they will need to introduce a new license scheme for them and a whole new set of transit laws. The potential problems that machines like this could cause is immense if this is not as tightly regulated as standerd aircraft not to mention the cross with auto mobiles
However if these things are avaliable for 50k from people like Mr Morris then I will definantly be rather tempted to get when if i ever have money like that laying around(Lets hope some unknown rich relative dies).
possibly your right in the case of the first amendment i am not sure , however they are refusing to allow the people who want to see it and who im willing to bet pay taxes.
my counter argument on the first side would be.. My whole argument from a fiscal stance, rests on the fact that truck drivers or anyone else who wants the pornography also pays taxes , and to restrict that because one sector say "Its wrong" is null and void, what about the rights of the tax payers who want the pornography.
on the Distribution side.. They are not distributing pornography anymore than any other ISP , If that were to be the case then every ISP in the world could be charged with "Copyright infringment" not to mention distibution of paedophilic materials and a whole host of other things that people choose to view.
There is no real difrence between censorship and refusal to distribute if the refusal makes said thing unavaliable from a specific source , you are censoring your network. And as i said previously (in my opinion) it is not distribution.
"What's wrong with "anti-free software flamebait"?" its flamebait,and flamebait is one fo the mod down options.
you said it yourself so expect some down moderation. no-one(sencible) minds a competent argument against something , however you said it , it was phrased as flamebait and was featuring some glaring holes in the logic.
While i admit the grandparent could of phrased it without the insult( insult? i am not sure it was really), he is perfectly right otherwise and has a right to be pissed off with you.
I have plenty;) , just cant find anyone who will take me seriously...
And to the grandparent..
YO FOSS USER Fancy funding some of these developers so they have the time to make origional works , if not then quit complaining about something you are not forced to use and pay nothing for, or start giving them some new ideas to work with. Criticise constructivly please
in a round about way is this legislator not saying to truckers "Your a bunch of wankers and need to be stoped" , And going by most truckers i've met he would be in for a rather hefty beating for saying that.
