U.S. taxpayers funded DARPA's principle research and development of ARPANET, the precursor for what is now known as the internet. IANA, the agency responsible for managing DNS namespace and IP ranges, was funded directly by DARPA up through 1998 when an act of U.S. congress established ICANN to take this responsibility over from the department of defense.
The United States need not forfeit property rights just because European, Asian, and other nations' decided to connect their sytems and infrastructure to the internet.
Wiping the drive has never been a sufficient method of clearing a rootkit. BIOS, video card sram, CMOS, etc. type attack vectors for malware/virus have existed for decades. Any piece of hardware with static memory needs to be cleared/reset/reflashed etc. Is there something unique about SMM exploits that prevents a system owner from reflashing their BIOS?
NAME
renice - alter priority of running processes... DESCRIPTION
Renice alters the scheduling priority of one or more running processes. The following who parameters are interpreted as process ID's, process
group ID's, or user names. Renice'ing a process group causes all processes in the process group to have their scheduling priority altered.
Renice'ing a user causes all processes owned by the user to have their scheduling priority altered. By default, the processes to be affected
are specified by their process ID's....
Technological innovation in communication by definition expands the ability of the people to freely communicate as they wish. If we accepted your argument that P2P does not expand one's ability to express himself, then what is to prevent government from outlawing any form of technological innovation? Imagine if the internet, radio, television, telephones, etc. were all made illegal. Would this not constitute an abridgement of freedom of speech rights? Why is P2P any different?
The problem is the belief that some language construct can be designed to sufficiently abstract the hardware in such a fashion as to make parallel processing trivial without sacrificing performance. ZPL for example, on the surface seems to have accomplished this, and there is a set of computational problems which map well onto ZPL. However, there's also a large set of problems which don't. So, you have 2 choices:
1. Continue living in fear of the hardware and spend your time learning new programming languages and paradigm shifts everytime you discover your problem doesn't map well onto your current favorite abstraction
2. Develop a deep understanding of C, the POSIX API, and the hardware
If you need more than 80 columns that probably means you have too many levels of loops/conditional indentation. Increasing beyond 80 columns exacerbates this poor coding habit. Learn to modularize. Functions shouldn't have more than 3 levels of loops/conditionals and should be less than 3 pages long.
No. sorry. You can't trust any member of the Republican party. They are all hypocrites and have been for a generation. As much as I like Ron Paul's self-described principles, he chooses to remain a member of a political party which represents the biggest threat to the American system of democracy facing the country today.
All they do is cut taxes for billionaires, run up the debt, and trash civil liberties. Thanks, but I'll pass.
Or so one would think. Universal is owned by Vivendi, which also owns Blizzard. As much as I'd love to profit off of Universal's demise, you can't bet against Blizzard.
We need IPSec now. Imagine if the ISPs start redirecting your DNS queries. All that software that updates itself can get redirected to some other site that has updates with embedded backdoors
Java/C++/OO programmers are too used to being babied and having the compiler deal with their dirty work. Turns out monitors and synchronized { } suck. Learn pthreads or quit bitching.
Thats what happens when your language tries to gloss over the low level details. Java/C++ style monitors/synchronized crap sucks. Learn pthreads or stfu and stop complaining its too hard.
Here I thought folks would have learned the costs of ignoring reality by voting for Nader in 2000.
That said, I am happy to consider other candidates if the voting system were changed to IRV. But, in the meantime the risks of another term of idealogical bigotry are too high. Unfortunately this is the situation we are in. Without voting system reform, I'm afraid casting a vote for an also-ran candidate is a wasted one.
This is wrong on so many levels.
1. Clinton's tax cuts occurred in 1993 when Democrats had control of Congress and the white house. Republicans did not win the house until 1994. In fact, the plan did not have a single Republican vote on it. Google "1993 Economic Plan". Even So, I have no idea what you're talking about. Even Paul Volcker, Fed Reserve Chairman under Reagon, credits Clinton for slashing defecits.
2. Again, this did not occur until 1994.
So, please stop pretending Democrats can't control the purse and Republicans can. This popular myth hasn't been true for the last 35 years.

*yawn* glad to know slackware supports a processor that's been in production for over 6 years now.

The SMM exploit requires that the attacker already have root. You're already screwed at this point.

I wonder how much Microsoft paid Walmart to stop selling these?

Just use pthreads and forget that other nonsense.
If you use 5MB for the average song:
30,000 x 5MB == 150,000MB ~= 145GB
15KB for the average email:
13,000,000 x 15KB == 195,000,000KB ~= 186GB
600KB for the average picture:
600KB x 250,000 == 150,000,000KB ~= 143GB
So if you stay under 125GB / month you're probably safe. Not quite unlimited if you ask me!

I'll take one with 6 Medium Lasers, an AC/20, a PPC-10, and an LRM-6 please.
How does Starfish compare to GFS, Lustre, or IBRIX?
.... or I could just apt-get install mythtv 1994 called and wants its distribution back.

Ignore a candidate's chosen political party at your own peril. I'll let the record of Ron Paul's chosen party speak for itself.

Pretend there's no difference between the two major parties at your own peril. I'll let the record of Ron Paul's chosen party speaks for itself.

Ron Paul is no different. You have to pick the lesser of evils.
