The block they assign to you will probably vary (you will probably still have to pay extra for a static), just like DHCP does now. But your router will be able to advertise the available block to your subnet, and it can dynamically change. Check out radvd for an example of this.
Its the same package except for the branding, plus security fixes. Mozilla is the one that came to them and said they had issues with their use of the name and logo with modified versions (security fixes). Doing it the Mozilla way would not allow Debian to backport fixes to older versions, as Mozilla wouldn't allow their logo to be applied except to source-equivalent builds. That is why we have iceweasel now.
This is far from zealotry, it was the only option left to them by Mozilla without making an exception to what it means to have a stable release.

I don't see how this would be possible without major commercial investment in high speed low-latency intercity links (like the.edus on Internet2). This kind of remote interactivity requires very low latency in order for it to be remotely feasible.
Remember what the original Quake was like on a 200ms connection? Talk about skating.. Oh, and you can't do client-side prediction in real-world telepresence. I wouldn't want to be in the room when someone was operating a remote machine with high latency.
Would have some definite applications in the DoD though. It might restore the original definition of "strafing".
Yes, sushi is the combined thing. But the ingredient that makes it sushi is the seasoned rice (with rice vinegar). That mix is then called sushi rice. So it is the rice that makes everything else the sushi.
Consider inari sushi (inarizushi) for example, it is sushi rice stuffed into fried tofu wrappers. No fish, no seaweed, just sushi rice and tofu.
I think this is more likely a response to the Georgia-Russia "cyberwar". Having a public cyberwar program invites others to do so and provides a way to study and attack your program.
I think now this will be a black program to avoid drawing attention. They are probably doing this to prevent others from learning from our public information.

With the legal fiction of corporate personhood, we need a corporate death penalty. Liquidate all their assets and sell them at auction. The board and major shareholders would not be allowed to bid on assets, and anyone involved would not be able to form another corporation with anyone else that was involved for a period of time (5 years might do it).
Yeah, but in the series, transport power was based on cheap cold fusion of water. They would accelerate a craft at 1g towards the target, drift for a time in the middle, and then turn around and decelerate at 1g for roughly the same time. It provided transport between Mars and Earth orbits on the scale of a week (depending on their relative positions).
Then the slow part of the journey was considered to be the time spent ascending and descending the space elevators to reach the planet's surface from orbit. It would take almost as long as the interplanetary trip between Earth and Mars.
This news is almost 2 years old. I suspect that this is being reported now to drum up Olympics interest.
From wikipedia:
Recent research, reported on 30 November 2006 in the science journal Nature, has concluded that the mechanism tracked the Metonic calendar, predicted solar eclipses, and calculated the timing of the Ancient Olympic Games. Inscriptions on the instrument closely match the names of the months on calendars from Illyria and Epirus in northwestern Greece and with the island of Corfu.
Interesting, thanks for the research. But please read more of the accounts. The popular ones are the one about the selfish TV earthquake person, and the woman who killed a kitten with her high heels. I suspect these are popularized because they are seen as worthy of retaliation. The stories of harassment over political speech aren't as widely reported, but are there also (from my bit of reading in english).
Yes, this kind of action is not limited to China, but couple it with a society that forces everyone to be like-minded and it has the potential to be pervasive and difficult to defeat.
The Chinese authorities will do nothing about this as long as the mob is enforcing its Maoist goals. That will happen as long as the government still has popular support (which it continues to have, unfortunately).
Just what we need, more people for the "human flesh search engine", the name given to people who hunt down those who say unpopular or anti-party sentiments. See here.
This has been used to find unpopular people. From selfish idiots commenting about the earthquake, to Chinese students abroad supporting Tibetan independence. They and their family are then subject to harassment until they repent.
Sorry, I just heard about this, and I'm pissed. This is what totalitarian one-party states are about, you're either "one of us" or you're marginalized until you can no longer function in society.
This may be a great leap backward.
Fortunately, we have sites like EastSouthWestNorth to sift through the state party-line bullshit and bring us stories like this.
Maybe if the patch didn't require that open up all incoming and outgoing UDP ports [securitytracker.com] on the DNS interface I could implement it faster.
That is not the case at all. First off, on outbound requests, the destination port is still 53. The _source_ port is what gets randomized. On inbound replies to the randomized port, your stateful firewall will see this as an ESTABLISHED connection and you can safely let it in without blindly opening up the entire UDP port space.
You _are_ running a stateful firewall, right? Its not 1998 anymore.
Also the video file format itself has to support streaming. MPEG-2 would be fine. AVI wrappers would not work too well, as there are indexes or some such at the end of the file.
No, those N2 tanks are used to push water out of phone lines to prevent shorts. All wiring in the city is buried, and a lot of that is below the natural water table. The N2 keeps certain otherwise problematic lines dry by building pressure and pushing out the water.
Shit. I marked this as redundant by accident. D2 makes it too easy to mistakenly mod someone with the wrong category. I'm replying to undo my moderation. Sorry.
Bind9 now contains a port randomization, which can require firewall rule changes.
Bind8 is now considered deprecated and the advisory recommends upgrading to bind9. There is no patch for bind8.
The glibc stub resolver is also vulnerable, and there is no patch yet. The recommended workaround is to install bind9 as a caching resolver and point/etc/resolv.conf at localhost.
Hardware modems exist and work quite well in linux. You can even still buy them. PCI or external RS232 (the horrors!). Your statement should read "Linux support for winmodems is next to nil." And that is true, because they are worthless pieces of shit.

Thats exactly what debian does already, it has a firefox stub package that installs iceweasel:

Depends: iceweasel (>= 2.0.0.16-0etch1), iceweasel (<< 2.0.0.16-0etch1.1~)
> apt-cache show firefox
