Wheres the spell checker? They said it was going to be out with 1.0, Now 1.1 is almost out, its not mentioned. I use mozilla for my mail, and if you have read my past slashdot posts, you could tell I need a spell checker. (-; - icewm 1.2.0 out!
None of the FreeBSD releases, or the -STABLE branch were vulnerable to the openssh bug.
-Current isnt a release? I can download it, Seems like a release to me, maybe a beta release, but it IS a release if its been put out. But whatever you call it some version of FreeBSD DID have the bug.
Really get a kick out of you BSD guys trying to use the -Current and -Stable shit to try to say you dont have security holes. So you dont have this 1 bug on your -Stable, Lets check cert and see how many have been on -Stable. Same shit goes with OpenBSD, and "Never A Security bug" bullshit. PHP/SSH/Apache have a security hole, its "LINUX HAS A SECURITY HOLE", well FreeBSD uses the same damn software. - Try your Jedi mind tricks on a mircos~1 padawn... Go Go away...
You can do the same with dumb sun boxes, that boot off the net, mount a read only parition with apache/content, and connect to a database. Good thing, if you update the content directly, your stack of boxes all have updated content. Make sure you have a nice storage array that can push data to the boxes.
I personally use Stunnel on a few boxes, linux/windows/freebsd. It basically wraps your connection with ssl. You set it up on both servers, then connect to localhost:port and it forwards to the remote server ssl encrypted. Like ssh tunnels, but its a stand alone program. Also very transparent to the user.
TLSwrap is another ssl wrapper, used for ftp, but can be used for other ports. Safetp seems to be a popular one with the college kids. Ive tested it out, and it does encrypt your session, and any ftp client will work since it encrypted the port.
Personally, I dont want command line on windows, I want a GUI for windows. Tight VNC isnt encrypted, but you can use stunnel to take care of that. But I find remote desktop, using rdp 5.1, is fast as hell(compared to tightvnc) and is designed for windows. Very usable over a modem too.

Currently I have a 128K/128K connection, I wont let the family touch the idsl when Im playing games. But if there was a way I could limit them to like 24K MAX during my games, I could get away with it.
You mean like the new TIPS system, bush is pushing? Where they estimate 5% of the public will spy and report "suspicious, and potentially terrorist-related activity."
So basically, anyone walking into your house can be a spy for the government, the Cable guy, Phone Repair, or Water/food services. My god, I hope Bush gets voted out of office before more damage is done to our Country. Welcome to homeland security my fellow USians.
Xbox failed? Please tell that to everyone I know buying an Xbox, or people buying 2 (now that its 150 bux) to network Halo. In my corner of the woods, Xbox seems to be doing damn good. And BTW, Windows on Alpha was a rather good idea, We have some NT 4 boxes on alpha we finaly retired due to code red. They run linux just fine now, but to be fair, NT 4 is quite old.
And this is why they will ultimately fail against Linux....
How about.
School wants to save money and Install Linux. Microsoft donates computers/software (for free) and onsite configuration. School saves money. Year later, contract is up, Microsoft wants to charge for new licenses. They want upgrades fees for new OS for every computer. They also want upgrade fees on m$ office updates, server software, database, etc...
Now repeat that on a whole school district, where everything is now M$ based, and the costs to change everything away from M$ would be too great of a cost.
Americans have a problem looking 1+ years in the future, they dont see the BRICK WALL. We seem to be a "Show me NOW" culture. We need to have our state and federal governments use open source software NOW. (There's the culture buzz word)

Sure, the game engine uses outdated engine, but the fun is there.
I personally think the maps that came out with CS1.5 show how using new textures and good design can make a game look new. Computers are faster now, so mod developers just use higher detailed skins and textures and keep the same engine running even longer. And with Anti-Aliasing, CS looks perfect. Americas Army using the UT 2003 engine is a step up in realism, and hasnt even touched all the potential for maps, textures and skins. Normally takes a awhile for them to fully milk an engine for all its worth.
A few months ago there we're about 13,000(yes, THOUSAND) active servers.
School is out for summer, the colleges kids will have the servers up start of the school year. What else do you do with all that bandwidth in your room? Run a CS server of course!
Agreed, I used to make maps and level for Doom/2 and Quake/2 with every moment I wasn't deathmatching. But in regards to hardware; that's the main reason I've moved away from PC gaming and concentrated on consoles.
Consoles are good, but the PC wins when you include mods, multiplayer, updates, and the amount of better games. Plus you cant really get 9.99 bargin bin games for consoles until the new game systems come out. I normally wait until a store has a sale, and get the newest pc games for around 29.99 dollars (seems to be the onsale sweet spot).
But for consoles, my kids still turn off the xbox/ps2 and turn on the snes for Super Mario brothers. Some games just hold replay value. And I still like fzero, and street fighter every now and then. The N64 still has some good 4 player games, but Ive seen monkey ball on the nintendo gamecube which is rather addictive for a group of people. - Half this game is 90% mental. - Danny Ozark, manager of the Phillies
Here the kids have to work in the animal shelter, help putting the animals down, and sweeping up the ashes. I dont think we have boot camp here, but Id rather them be scared straight then end up in prision.
My god, you guys rate crackers as terrorists or murders. WTF is wrong with you?! Yes you need to protect your systems, and you need to slap the kids on the wrists for cracking, but if a kid trespasses, you put a bigger lock on your door, you don't build a new house and shoot the kid. Get some fucking perspective.
Maybe you are just trying to rationalize your own illegal behavior?
Maybe your a tight assed republican, hard core christen who believe in the death penalty, and hates gays.
BTW, people can support a prosecuted group, and not belong to that group. I for one, believe that the "Zero Tolerance" approach is more evil than murder. You need to look at each case, and punish for the level of intent. Stop believing the FUD, crackers/hackers have been around for 30+ years on our computer systems, only a very few cause monetary damage. But yes, he was pretty harmless compared to most, and yes I believe its wrong to enter a computer uninvited.
If your system is compromised, and you don't know, what harm has been caused? Not all comprimised systems produce monetary damages or lost productivity. But I'm sure you can find your system cracked, spend a million dollars on upgrading security, and consulting fees, and say some "script kiddie" just cost your company a million dollars.
This guy has a lot going for him. He can crack any kid's computer that tried to beat him up.
He can pack a gun, would that earn you more respect?
Its a good thing they didnt post the kids IPs, these kids are just kids and should be left alone. They dont need more gay-bashing or script kidding bashing. He just wanted to hack to put on a IRC bot script, which is pretty harmless, wrong, but harmeless.
We need to force the government, local, state and federal to only use open source software and OS's, NOW. If they get locked into these "Palladium" enabled products, we will be spending billions of tax payer money on hardware and software upgrades for non-open source replacement software.
Palladium will cost everyone money. The only winners are the corporations who will sell you new products. Need a new "Palladium" PC? Dell/gateway gladly will sell you a new pc. AMD and INTEL already WANTS to make these "Palladium" parts. RIAA and Hollywood will love to have "Fair Use" thrown out the window, and make you use their software for multimedia. You cant play a DRM Audio or Video DVD without their DRM software on your "Palladium" enabled PC. And for your home it will only work on "Fritz" chipped players. (Throw away that old DVD player, Circuit City is waiting for you with new models now!)
With all those corporations are loving the idea of all the new revenues on new DRM/Palladium technology, they will jump on the "Palladium" bandwagon. Screw the consumers.
Theres a post about people putting easter eggs in thier code, so they can have proof they did the work. If a company lies about you not doing the work, thats slander. Offering a "Credits List" makes them 100% responsible for keeping it accurate, even if people leave the company.

Im currently using linux with the low latency patch and pre-emptive multitasking. Does this help X seem a little smoother on BSD also?
