...to have major reform in the US Patent system. Not only does it seem outdated and slow, but it's increasingly becoming the focus in news where otherwise it might not have been covered.
Why oh why can't the US Government see this farse and act on it? Is Mr Gates tossing Mr Bush off or something?...
The media companies asked us to do this and said they don't want any of their high definition content to play in x32 at all, because of all of the unsigned malware that runs in kernel mode can get around content protection, so we had to do this.
Rubbish! You could have insisted that the media companies write their DRM protection schemes properly. (or not at all)
From TFA:
PC users will now have to choose between a PC that can play high definition content (64 bit) versus one that can potentially run older devices that only have unsigned drivers available (32 bit).
So how are the PC manufacturers going to pitch this in their various marketing channels?
"Play your DVDs on your PC!" - I might not be wrong....
Will this article have any bearing on it's release date? Considering there are many flaws (apparently, found none myself) in Windows Mobile, could we be waiting a little longer (if MS' current deadline success is anything to go by...)?
"We started out doing SBS, and it's the foundation, but now that the infrastructure is easier, we're spreading out," says Luby, whose company is moving up the stack into solutions around Microsoft SharePoint Portal Services and Live offerings.
...WTF does this have to do with the original topic? I don't find it remotely helpful or informative compared to the article's original subject. It also doesn't relate much to the fact that SBS 2003 RC2 has been recalled....slow news day?...
While the crack is technically interesting the article doesn't answer two things: first how did he get the code for the login screen and how did he get a user to login via his evilsite.com mockup of the login screen.
Yes he does. If you had read TFA, you would have noticed the following sentance in the first paragraph!
In this article I am going to look at a real-life XSS attack and how it was used to bypass the authentication scheme of an online web application I was asked to test.
Come on, there where what, about 170 words in that article? How often does 'misconception' and 'out of context' apply to media quotes these days?
I don't personally feel that piracy is killing PC gaming. If i'm honest, I would say piracy has been around as long as the PC gaming industry has. Perhaps prevention is better than cure (i.e. take a leaf from the Steam engine's book?)
Ahh interesting. FYI, you may want to look into module-assistant (sudo apt-get install module-assistant, man m-a and use m-a install kernel-module-name as root to build and install a kernel module).
Is it just me or did Dapper increase the problems related to X when updating kernels. I had to recently upgrade to 2.6.15-26amd64-k8 because of a serious security flaw (otherwise I wouldn't have bothered just yet), but inevitably I had to recompile my NVidia drivers. Is this the sort of QA Mr Law is overlooking perhaps?
I have to say though, the Ubuntu forums is an awesome resource for fixing Ubuntu related problems. If it is any sort of testiment to the level of paid support then Canonical Ltd. (the commercial organisation behind Ubuntu Linux) are certainly on the right tracks.
Well, I don't hold much regard for the sysadmins here (part of a very large insurance organisation) but that doesn't prevent me from giving praise where praise is due - enjoy the day! I know some of the stupid reports they're given day-to-day and can only admire their patience:)
Is there a coders day by chance? I could do with an excuse to partey!
So, if you don't believe that the NSA wiretaps are to help fight terrorism, you must have some idea of why he would do such a thing. So, what is it?
I didn't say that, did I? What I did say was:
Though I don't deny there is a great threat from terrorism, I am disgusted at the overuse of 'terrorism'.
I think terrorism is perhaps one of the reasons these wiretaps took place, but not the only one. Your last paragraph phrased is thus. And I think you're wrong.
So, if the "why" he gives is not reasonable in your eyes, what is the "why" that you think is the answer?
I believe the reason he is doing this is to cover himself from the resulting mockery and trouble that will arise from him approving and executing the NSA wiretaps. Read the last paragraph of my previous post. It explains that.
BTW, the thing about conspiracy theories and theorists is that they come up with a "how" but not a "why" that is plausable... usually it's far fetched and laughable. I'm sure some conspiracy theorist is going to say that the NSA wiretaps were put in place to make sure John Kerry wasn't calling Jaques Chirac for his endorsement... those are just silly statements. All in all, if you can not believe the President's reason (even if you do not agree with the methods), then you need to have another plausable reason why he would do that.
I am not a conspiracy theorist. I am simply someone who is skeptical about the Bush administration and it's intentions in situations such as this.
Democracy, freedom and choice is what America stands for, at least in my eyes (or, how I see it project itself). Yet this act from Bush (and the original totalitarian act of wiretapping from the NSA in the first place) contradicts everything said in the previous sentence. All in all, America shouts about Democracy and Liberation, yet its acts at home seem to contradict this.
It's called access control... it's there for a reason... and it's not to hinder an investigative probe into misconduct, but to prevent the hindering of investigations into terrorist activities.
Though I don't deny there is a great threat from terrorism, I am disgusted at the overuse of 'terrorism'. I sincerely believe that Mr Bush & perhaps Mr Blair use this as a means to get what they want (think Blair & the Anti-terrorism law - allowing police to hold people for 28 days under the anti-terrorism act).
I just don't like the way you phrased that. It is so common and pretentious - do you actually believe that the information gathered by these NSA probes were solely in the name of "The War Against Terrorism"?
What I do think is that this article is a classic case of media-hype. Like you've rightly said, it's his right as a president, and indeed his job, to make such decisions in the interest of security. I don't however, believe these were his motives this time - he's covering his already shit-smeared back.
I've been a loyal SuSE Professional customer for years, buying the retail box at retail in a
CompUSA, just to make sure that both CompUSA and SuSE get the revenue from it and are encouraged
by retail sales. Yeah, I could download and burn the bits for next to nothing, but I am willing
to support a worthwhile competitor to Red Hat, just to keep everybody on their toes. Absolutely!. I wholeheartedly agree with that principal. It is not only important to act in such a way, but it is important for people to understand both the relevance and effect of 'voting' this way.
However, a Google search for "software RAID" shows almost 10 times as many results, the first several pages of which appear to be entirely about computers and RAID. There's a bunch of howto's as well as ads for RAID gear.
A google.co.uk search shows 3/10 results relate to my acronym and its intended meaning.
I suggest you use "software RAID" in the future, to be clear about what you're talking about.
Indeed and that I shall.
Did you make up that "rapid" term?
I've seen it declared "Redundant Array of Independant Discs", "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Discs", "Rapid Array of Inexpensive Discs" and "Rapid Array of Independent Discs". My bad anyhow.
Also, you do realize that no one makes a "hardware" raid controller? They're all just little computers with nothing better to do with their time than compute checksums and parity. Or in the case of EMC, Hitachi and a few others, they're really big computers with nothing better to do than compute checksums and parity.
I don't really give a sh*t, to be honest.
Thats a can o' worms. Moreover, its also a crap question. GNU/Linux probably wont be a huge market in terms of overall profit from selling it, but its always going to provide some flow. Whether it be software or support, it isn't totaly redundant.
Also, is the real reason they were removed from their positions due to Novell not performing in the Linux market the push behind this decision? Or is this classic media hype/speculation?
Oh, i'm sorry for being informative and helpful to you. Please forgive me for sharing my knowledge.
I'll remember next time someone asks me a question to reply with what you did, i'm sure it'll go down a storm.
When I see (and indeed write) SRAID it comes quite easily to me. Also, try a Google search for SRAID and see what comes up....i'm certainly not the only one to use that abbreviation/acronym.

The bug is in IE6 too, so it could be blamed as a legacy issue...
I couldn't agree more with this:
It's as though the judge is saying "Well done son! Here, have a cookie!"

What a complete waste of money! Surely these clever guys could have put the time and money towards something more constructive and useful?!
I should have said "will this articles facts have any bearing"...sorry.

Ahh thank you. Looks like I won't be going on one for quite a while...
I find it an intruiging venture indeed. Not only from someone not based at a National Aeronautics department; but someone that is an entrepreneur.
Are the costs to take one of these commercial flights known yet? And wasn't a similar venture investigated by Virgin owner, Richard Branson?

I don't need those; I have a nice cozy pussy.
