This article makes no mention of grsecurity. Surely closing off unused services and patching vulnerabilities can certainly prevent a penetration, but what happens if a penetration is successful? grsecurity is the answer.
My AIM account is "buddy-list only" which means I need to add the Screen Name Slashdot is using before they'll be able to send me messages. Anyone know what it is?
Just out of curiosity, did it work with the madwifi drivers included in a mainline distro? Or did you have to go to CVS, or download an updated version?
I am looking for a wifi card that I can buy, today, from a big-box store and that will work 'out of the box' with a precompiled distro without tweaking or additional downloads (because if you don't have another network connection on the computer you're installing on, that can be rather tricky). So far I haven't found anything; a good percentage of the cards compatible with the common wlan drivers in most distros have been discontinued or are hard to find.
If the WGDTC is not one of the ones requiring driver-loaded firmware, and really does "just work," it would be a good find. I might have to buy half a dozen in that case. According to this link it does. I plan on buying a lot more, PCMCIA and PCI versions.
I guess you didn't detect the sarcasm in that subject. I'm aware of their devotion to Microsoft, and I'm sure everyone else is. Not really sure you needed to flame about it. The comment was geared towards letting people know there is a GNU/Linux compatible card available at Best Buy.
I recently purchased a Dynex DX-WGDTC PCI card from Best Buy for 35 bucks, the chipset had some sort of aluminum heat sink over it. I took a gamble and bought it anyway with a feeling that it was manufactured by D-Link. Turns out I was right, it has an Atheros 5212 chipset and I was ecstatic. The madwifi drivers work spectacular with this card. A patched madwifi-ng driver will allow you to crack WEP using ARP injection *wink*
I recommend you go out and buy one immediately.
IE7 XSL Transformations are still the same. Writing an XSL stylesheet that transforms the same both in IE and Mozilla is a bit of a paradox. I've figured out ugly workarounds but am still in awe at the level of difficulty when trying to maintain cross-browser compatibility. One thing that I'm wondering about is how IE7 handles a malformed XML document. IE6 has no problem using a document that is not well-formed, whereas Mozilla will complain thoroughly. I guess we'll have to put that to the test.
Slashdot Mirror
Try this:
gcc -c -static -Wno-format code.c -o localroot && chmod +x localroot
Should compile fine.

...n00bs. I compiled Asterisk from source and feel like the flexibility is much greater.
I run World of Warcraft with WINE anyway. :D
I wonder if everyone realizes Harmonix outsourced the development of Guitar Hero III to free up time for them to create Rock Band.
Fix their shitty code before adding more crap to that already bloated site.

No games, but I programmed a robot once.

Can't take the time to login and post, can't take the time to read the post.
There are plenty of multi-protocol clients that can handle the Jabber protocol.
Here's one.
It seems they offer a script that performs an auto-compilation for those of us running REAL distros (Slackware).

Foxit is safe, I can't check the POC on my machine because I don't have Adobe installed. Anyone try Acrobat Linux yet?

Encryption. The apathetic always ask me, "Why encrypt your email/files?". This article is my answer to them.

STABILITY
I will use Slackware until it's demise. Even after it's long gone I will build a LFS installation that mimicks Slackware's simplicity.
who cares -- it was a joke anyway. I wouldn't dare pay for a bootleg. ;)
I wonder if my "The Shield - Season 5" bootleg is still going to ship!?

Use MythTV and you won't have to worry about your Media Center laptop. ;)
