VirtualBox OSE has (Tight)VNC support if you run it through VBoxHeadless. I personally run it to virtualize an older windows installation tucked away on a cheap-o computer which does not do VM-extensions and it works well.
Unless you need USB2 or PXE-boot (or RDP to your virtualized display for some reason), the open source edition is really neat.
It's an FPGA on there with verilog code available. Go grab the Xilinx WebPack (free, windows/linux), get a JTAG cable (I've seen Xilinx USB-clones for less than $50 on eBay) and get cracking.
Getting to know the tools is hard, learning to think in VHDL/Verilog is hard (at least if you're not used to thinking in terms of logic gates and other hardware) but you can transform that board into pretty much any hardware you'd like and control it from the arduino. The reason for the 400x300 is probably memory limitations on the Spartan chip, some clever design/coding to optimise memory to your application should help with that.
Won't work, because first you need to authorize the account number being added, and the challenge to adding that is by inputting the account number into your token. Thus the criminal can't transfer funds into his account. The second part is a challenge with the amount you want to transfer. Again, making it hard to fiddle, although since there are limited amount of digits on the token you can fiddle a bit with the amount, however you still can't get it to your account unless that account# has been pre-authorized to receive transactions.
You can, that's the good part about it, many times signals reflect when they hit an improperly terminated connection (impendance mismatch).
This holds for both optical and electrical signals. Given the propagation time and speed, length is trivially calculated. There's special hardware to do this for you.

I did, the major reason when that I switched back was due to UTF-8 problems, and as far as I know the line editor is still blissfully unaware of multibyte characters.
There was also trivial stuff like coloring the prompt, which for me makes things easier to find on a terminal full of text and additionally highlight that you're root (in addition to the #-sign).
In all fairness, coloring (and probably everything else I was annoyed at) is doable and wouldn't have stopped me from trying it out a bit longer though.
Sorry, if your router almost dies you should have figured it already... The short answer: Your router sucks. The long answer: Your router can't manage the several concurrent connections that your BitTorrent client makes (often 100+). It slows to a crawl and so does your internet connection.
My guess is if you removed the router and put your computer directly on the internet connection most (or all) speed issues would go away.
Quick question: If that chess engine works so well and fast, why isn't it used in Vista (aside from it not being made by MS). Something must be seriously wrong if consumer market chess games has degraded that much. It'd be as if the AI in FPS:s got worse and worse over the years.
My LEDs that show me what isn't working. I have a wireless keyboard that's a bit tricky sometimes. When it's not working I glance at the hub light and find it off. Unplug and replug and make sure it lights up and you know that works at least. My LEDs are even off when there isn't anything connected (and this being one of the cheapest USB2 hubs I could find!).
rt2500 doesn't and will not ever support wpa_supplicant. The reason being that rt2500 is developed from the original RaLink source. There is a new code being developed (rt2x00, afaik it's a complete rewrite) that will support all ralink chipsets and will have wpa_supplicant support. This code is in alpha though and features inject and monitor mode and nothing more, so nowhere near complete.
I seem to recognize this. One of my friends got infected (family runs business and a server on NT4). I get there, disconnects router from ISP and gets to work. ISP calls, in 5 minutes your connection will be cut off.
Reasoning that no computer from the old network is connected wouldn't work. 5 minutes later and my rather old snort install can't be updated. Concluded that it was most likely the server (only computer that spit out weird traffic).
Conclusion: Your scenario is already in action if they spot suspicious traffic, and they've got no log of what triggered it so they won't aid you in your hunt.
How is a talent good if he then fails to adhere to company policies?
Want to promote him and get into trouble for breaking a policy a bit more important for this one? There's a matter of trust between employer and employee that needs to be maintained.

You're right on target with the biggest problem currently. There is an idea of creating PortageSQL and keep it all in a DB instead. Until then there are solutions such as this: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-401647.html (which is what I'm currently using). I have one machine generating a squashfs file from the latest release and a ramdrive which holds the changes. It works really well and keeps the portage database to ~40MB instead of 600. Then I just wget that file onto my other machines.
I find your comment a bit funny. Recently I put together my neighbours computer and removed the fan by accident(!). It was a Core 2 Duo boxed with a fan. Putting the fan in place couldn't be simpler.
I didn't have to make sure it was aligned correctly, there was no socket parts that would raise the copper and disable it from cooling the CPU. There wasn't any huge force involved fastening the CPU, just align it with the 4 holes on the motherboard and push the locks until they clicked.
Removing it is even simpler, grab a screwdriver and rotate the locks 90 degrees (follow the arrows) and they pop right up. I would say computers recently got a lot easier to put together.
I would say you're onto something there, both Google and Apple are looking more "evil" in our eyes as they get bigger and get a image of the big guys. I'd wager that it'll be Google and not Apple that will catch the throne as the next big evil.
What is the last movies that you just had to see? Couldn't have said it better myself. The fact that I recently had 6 free tickets and actually had trouble finding anything I would like to watch would probably say something (and I still have 2 tickets left, after inviting a friend to go with me and watch 2 movies in one day just to actually use them).
I understand that Firefox wishes to be more than a web browser. But looking at the FFX 3 requirements page I find one very weird requirement:
P2/HIGHLY DESIRABLE features:
Adding a Serverless open Source Messenger as a default toolbar
Honestly, WTF? Is this really a feature that should be in something that mainly is a web browser? I would understand if there was a need to add a general Kademlia DHT API to easy delivering information, but isn't a chat application something that should be covered as an extension. Typically a chat application runs constantly while a web browser (or "information broker") generally isn't running constantly. I fail to see the logic behind this.
and which is why you, in every case need to find every package. In some cases they are common libraries but not always. Let's say I want to install ethereal, but on a system with no graphical frontend (wireshark nowadays): In gentoo, that's easy. You simply have a USE="-X" (and a few others...) setting in make.conf and emerge ethereal. No graphical frontend. In debian, I need to figure that I should not do apt-get install ethereal, but apt-get install tethereal.
Repeat that for a few packages and it gets frustrating. This example is a bit bad though, because in gentoo I'd probably need to add -gtk and a few other use flags. But that's easy, emerge -pv ethereal would show something like: USE="gtk ipv6 ssl -adns -kerberos -portaudio (-selinux) -snmp -threads", a little package knowledge (or ufed, the USE flag editor), will tell me that gtk is the graphical frontend, and disabling that will solve it.
In debian apt-get search etheral would show me tethereal as a package and I'd install that instead.
The good thing in gentoo is that it will end up as global, every other package can benefit from -gtk and skip the graphical frontend, but for every debian package I need to find the non-graphical package instead (assuming it exists!).
- Running ads makes you dependent. Once wikipedia writes something bad against an advertiser, this company might threaten to pull its ads, therefore putting editors in a dilemma: support the project or support the truth? In a way it does, but as I see it wikipedia could have a contract telling advertisers that such requests are not going to be met. After all, the truth is more important and ads will simply add money to help the cost of serving the pages. And looking at for instance google ads, some of those ads are shown in pages giving bad critic about the advertised product.
- Ads ad new privacy-problems (somebody else tracks what you have visited) True, even though I don't believe in privacy on the net anymore (that is, without proxies and such). For me at least, this is a minor issue.
- Ads fight for your eyeballs. Beeing a distraction-free zone is a big plus for wikipedia, because it made it so enjoyable for the authors. Something as simple as pure text ads are not really distracting, they use as much attention as the menubar already in place and would still give money.
- Some ads try to dupe people into thinking they are seeing error-messages etc. Others blink and distract. Many many ads try to manipulate you. We should not give in to this. Text ads don't have these problems. And besides, a project as big as wikipedia could find itself in the position where you're able to just say no to those truly deceptive ads, not every ad is trying to deceive you but you only tend to remember those that do.
- Hosting costs have come down a lot. The project can very much sustain itself by just relying on fund drives. Still, hosting is not free and money needs to come from somewhere. Being able to rely on fund drives is of course the best scenario but that might not always be possible.
Seriously though I'd say it really isn't ASLR, NX or whatever technical means you use to prevent attacks that are important. More so it is the mentality in a desktop OS that matters. Windows from the beginning has been designed to trust everything and that has shown as many applications require administrator access when it really would not be required. With MS realizing this and moving to a more secure philosophy it will increasingly require developers to become less lazy and actually think a little.
I'm in total agreement with this, somethings weird with the IE dev team. I tried out IE 7 today and I wanted to enable the menu to ease my transition a little.
Well, perfect, there's a huge amount of space to the right of the menu, why not move the toolbar from the right of the tabs to there and get more space for the tabs. Uh, no, that wasn't allowed (and yes, I disabled the lock on the toolbars). Also, even though the menu is "movable", there was no obvious way to move it above the address bar.
Given that I sometimes open up to 50 tabs in Firefox I really need space in the tab bar (the new tab menu in Firefox 2 is great btw). That said, and that I still get a load of rendering errors in ie7, I'm sticking to Firefox (or Konqueror, Opera, whatever render stuff correctly and knows that a tab bar is supposed to have room for more than two tabs).
Ok, you're playing flamebait but I'll bite... Sure, Linux can be a headache, I run Windows on my desktop since I need to run windows software occasionally. But when I compare windows/linux on my laptop I prefer Linux. Why? Linux is a little slower on startup, doesn't support 3d acceleration and so on. But it works faster than windows. Windows on my laptop seems to choke everytime I try to do something, starting a program or copying a file. Linux doesn't do that, which saves me a hell lot of time. In my case Windows is that headache you're talking about...
