Thunderbird reaches version 0.9, and still you can't specify the "From" address of an email message.
Ummm...what? I do this all the time. In fact, I've done this in 0.8 as well. The only limit is you have to choose between the accounts you've defined for Thunderbird to get mail for. You can't just go choose some random address to source email from. If you want that, use another email client. I don't see that as a big deal.
There are a few reasons I use it for my home email:
1) Mouse gestures. I'm on a lot of mailing lists, and being able to specify common actions as a gesture (right-click & drag right to select the next unread message, for example) saves me a lot of time digging through lists like Full-Disclosure.
2) Message threading. It's not perfect, but it helps a lot to be able to group messages by thread (I think new versions of Outlook can do this, but my 2000 version can not).
3) The Baysean filtering is nice, but as you've mentioned, you already have that.
4) Themes. Yeah, it's trivial, but still...they're fun.
This database is, presumably, a sorted collection of the possible hashes from all letters-only passwords up to a certain length
Actually, last time I checked, most versions of windows that used LanManager hashes split the password string into a new hash every 7 characters (yes, that is incredibly stupid). In other words, if your password was 8 characters long, there would be two hashes for your password: one that covered the first 7 characters, and one that covered the last 1 character.
So, I would assume the folks here have done every letter combination for up to 7 character long passwords, since that's all they'd need to do.
The point of the whole exercise is to reach the truth. If the truth is that the police did the right thing, then being able to prove it is good, and a tech that allows us to prove it is valuable.
Unless the patent is central to the operation of the application, and removing the app is the point. Eg: if Microsoft has patented parts of SMB (which they almost certainly have), instead of them being able to sue Samba into oblivion, Microsoft is now faced with a mutually-assured-destruction-via-patents scenario, which would at least give them pause.
We've been doing it for millenia already....just slower. Dogs, cows, cats, heck, even some of the common types of corn/maize sold today were all specially bred for certain purposes.
The main difference is that before now we had to work through the API that life gave us (reproduction), but now we can get right at the code (modifying genes). Of course, this also gives us the ability to completely fuck the system up a lot quicker than before, too.
No, we're a fairly liberal bunch, actually (Maryland's pretty left-wing compared to much of the US)....it's just our reps (or candidates for the job) are occasionally asshats. I'm sure you can sympathise.
Well, I can see why Indymedia wants to have a regular website (maximize reach) rather than a Freesite. But, I think they should use freenet as well, just as their backend.
I think they should set up a freesite and a forum system within Freenet, then just make their public websites gateways into the Freenet and their freesite. If any one public server is taken down or crashes, you just have to bring up a new box and copy over the gateway code (plus maybe a few config changes).
Ummm...read the guide carefully...looks to me like the five lines are just a hook to "convenient location to insert code to help safeguard against canonicalization issues." The five lines that they tell you to insert don't actually do the canonicalization for you, just give you a consistent hook for that code for all your apps.
Well, the FCC clearly does have some authority over end-user devices: notice the FCC logo on the back of every monitor/TV in the US? There's a reason it's there. Now, their authority (to my understanding, feel free to correct me if I'm full of it) is limited to controlling what the devices *broadcast*, not how they recieve things, but still...if the entire argument hinges on the FCC not being able to regulate TV sets at all (which the press release implies), then they're wrong. If they can make the subtle distinction that the FCC can only regulate what the TV/card *emits*, then they have a hope.
Please ignore this message. Someone at my office is concerned that slashdot is banning them from posting. If I can post this, then I'm hoping that the ban issue is gone.
Oh, please. John Viega helps run a group in DC (well, the Virginia suburbs) called "Securitygeeks DC". I've been to several of the talks they put together, and they've been very cool. (The group's gone quite recently, but is still a good group of folk.) He's been in the DefCon Capture the Flag contest for a couple years running, and has been advocating security and secure programming for years.
I can't say I'm a friend of his, but I've certainly talked with him a few times, and your implication that he's some kind of paid hatchet man is complete bullshit. His security creds are far better than the vast majority of the folks here.
Except for that guy the other day, who was looking for support for Debian. 'course, he was looking for more than that, but support would have helped his case.
I know it's bad form to reply to my own post, but I was semi-wrong, so I should fess up to it. RFC1035 states that the serial number field is 32 bits, but can wrap. The exact text is:
SERIAL The unsigned 32 bit version number of the original copy
of the zone. Zone transfers preserve this value. This
value wraps and should be compared using sequence space
arithmetic.
So, there still isn't an epoch problem, but for a different reason.
They just said they were encoding the serial number as the seconds since epoch. They never said anywhere how many *bits* they're using to measure that. In fact, since the serial number is a free-form text field, there's not really any way to overflow that. The epoch overflow shouldn't affect this.
Obviously, this will be conjecture, but my guess would be that 10 days is "reasonable", by their definition in the contract. The idea is if they get sued by any of the kicked spammers, they can point to the termination clause that includes "reasonable notification" and claim that 10 days is "reasonable", so they were within the terms of the contract.
Two things: 1) Figuring out which form to pass out is the easy part. The rest of it (and there's a lot to "the rest of it" if you're trying to anything other than absentee) is the pain in the ass. The poster I was responding to was proposing having the military do local voting, not absentee, which I still think would be a very bad idea.
2) If you're doing mail-in absentee voting, why bother having the military do anything with the ballots at all? Treat the ballot in and out like any other mail (as it should be), and don't screw it up with any *more* bureaucracy.
Unfortunately (or fortuantely, depending on your point of view), the federal government doesn't run the vote. The states do. So, for the Armed Forces to run a voting system themselves, they'd have to abide by 50 different sets of laws about how the vote should be run...basically making setting it up impossible.
Honestly, the simplest system (absentee balloting) seems to be the best in this case, and has worked fine for years. Why we're trying to replace something that isn't broken is beyond me.
Nono, he's actually making a grand, religious statement: I am, those will follow. Meaning, I exist, I have memory, all other memory is simply following after me. Hemos has actually obtained enlightenment, and is trying to show us the way through RAM.
Actually, the article said he was from Morocco, so he's just going home...not necessarily somewhere "safe." According to Ask Google, we do have an extradition treaty w/Morocco, so if we can prove he's there (difficult, but probably not impossible if he used his real name to buy an airline ticket, for instance), they should be able to arrest him & return him.

Absolutely not. It would make it more valuable.

Add another problem: warmer temps mean lighter/less female clothing. The effects of this on male productivity should be obvious.

Sounds like someone needs a hug, or at least some outside time.

Never mind. I'm an idiot. Just re-read the guide...they include the code.

Okay, I'll bite: what does Devo have to do with this?

Because it made the baby jesus cry. (well, it made me want to claw my own ears off...does that count?)
