The beta is also a whole lot faster, even running in debug mode!
But if you (the author of the parent article) don't want to run a beta, there is a patch that fixes the vmmon compile problem on newer kernels. Unfortunately I don't remember where I found it, but do some searches in Google and you should hit it.
I don't know why, but no one seems to like gcc 3.xx, judging from what I read in INSTALL files. The kernel folks recommend 2.95.3, which worked great for me with kernel 2.4.10.
Doesn't bin Laden sleep in a tent in the desert? How does he use PGP? Does he run the calculations by hand? Doesn't this take awhile?
Enquiring minds want to know.

This wasn't really funny the first time it was posted, either.
You're right. After a careful re-reading of the original comment, I see the first search took place at the entrance to NIH--not on the public street outside as I'd assumed--making my entire argument moot. Whoops.
Jane's Security has some ideas about who may be behind this attack... and it ain't bin Laden
Jane's does believe it was bin Laden. The story you referenced is called "Alternative View," and is the opinion of Aman in Israel. The story I read on Jane's last week was written by a staff member (sorry, no URL), and listed several possibilities--bin Laden was labeled the most likely one.
After all, you don't have a problem with your luggages, handbags, pockets being thoroughly searched at airports
Flawed analogy. When I'm talking to my mom on the phone from home, I have a reasonable expectation of privacy (yes, I know the "P" in "PSTN" stands for public, but it's not the same meaning as public place). When I'm at the airport, which is a public place, I have a less reasonable expectation of privacy. They don't, after all, search *all* people who enter the airport, just the ones who can get close to the planes.
I swear I was really close to grabbing it, brandishing it about, and shouting "We're here to take over the country! Take us to your leader, eh?"
I have never met a customs official or border patrol guard with a sense of humor on the job. Chances are good that you would be shot (American border patrol) or wrestled to the ground at gunpoint (Canadian) if you tried something like that.:P
The culprit in this case was a trio of proxy web servers that bridged Yahoo!'s internal corporate network to the public Internet. By configuring a web browser to go through one of the proxies, anyone on the Internet could masquerade as a Yahoo! insider, says Lamo, winning instant trust from the company's web-based content management system.
This is why sticking your proxies behind a firewall/packet filter is a good thing. Whoever's in charge of network security for Yahoo probably has a well-chewed ass by now.
I spent an entire day last week compiling 2.2.0. D'oh!
2.2.0 is so stable for me that I think I'll wait for 3.0 for my next upgrade. Someone else mentioned that 3.0 will break binary compatibility with 2.x.x--anyone care to confirm this? I really don't want to have to recompile everything I'm running under KDE...on the other hand, maybe in 3.0 I'll finally be able to use Opera as my default browser for URLs. Konqueror refuses to go away no matter what I tell it.
Hmm...looks like this virus is forging mail headers, maybe in an attempt to keep people from letting the infected folks know they've been raped. Automated reply systems might have to be rewritten to grab the actual IP instead of the From: line.
Someone's Outlook program just sent me the virus, but my email program didn't execute it automatically. I clicked on it, but nothing happened. Thinking maybe I wasn't being insecure enough, I clicked it as root too, but no luck. Dammit, why do MS users get to have all the fun?
I binary-edited it and sure enough, it's this Concept Virus thingy. From someone whose address I don't recognize at all. This thing is going to be big--I didn't get a single thing from anyone when the SirCam virus was making its rounds.
They didn't sell customer information and not tell anybody. If you'll read what you wrote, you'll notice they sent you an email telling you they were doing it unless you asked them not to. Not that that excuses their selling of customer info in the slightest, but at least get your facts lined up.
I don't ordinarily turn on my TV in the morning, but even if I had on tuesday I would have seen nothing. The cable was out. If it weren't for Slashdot, I would not have heard about this incident until much later in the day. My thanks to the Slashdot team.
This next part is slightly offtopic; I'd like to not be modded down because of it, but by the same token I'd like to not be modded up either. Not that that will sway anyone.:)
The feds found evidence linked to the hijackers that strongly suggests they used MS Flight Simulator to practice dry runs on buildings. What I want to know is, where are all those hypocrites who were pointing fingers and suing game makers for games like Doom and Quake after the Columbine incident? They seem strangely silent on this point. Could it be because MS Flight Sim is (all together now) JUST A GAME?
I know it's offtopic, but I felt it had to be said.
Yea right. Firing holes into the thin skin that keeps an airplane together wouldn't hurt would it? Airplanes are pressurized and I think the holes might disrupt that....
<simpsons>
They're speed holes! They make the plane go faster!
</simpsons>
However I think the presence of trained security personnel, in plain clothes, would be a good addition. There are lots of ways they can disable terrorists without using firing weapons. They could have stun gun type things couldn't they?
Someone mentioned in one of the earlier stories that shotguns with riot-control type beanbag ammo would be a good alternative. Couple this with plainclothes "air marshalls" so terrorists wouldn't know who's armed, and you have a fairly potent combination.
That's the funny thing about the crock of shit known as numerology: you can manipulate the numbers to have any meaning you wish to ascribe to them. For instance: 1+1+9+3+1+7+5+7+7 = 41. This must mean there were 41 terrorists in all! Get the rest!
Gimple: I was a math major in college, and after careful calculation, I can indeed confirm 1+1 = 2.
A friend's Army husband was bundled into an airplane at 2am this morning. All he was told was that he was going "overseas." Anybody with military families have something similar going on?
