While I agree with your point let's not forget that it can be all things to all people. M0n0wall (and forks like PFsense and FreeNAS) uses PHP for shell scripting like startup and configuration scripts which I thought was pretty cool.
The problem with underwater data centers is the water. How's about the arctic. It's cold there too. This project chose the arctic to reduce their cooling costs and remove the need for redundant cooling systems.
Installed on three machines with Nod32, Avira and AVG and none of them required stopping the AV. You sure you didn't download a fake WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe?
Wonder if they're using the crapware discount sales model like how Sony and so many others used to do. Not sure if they still do though, haven't bought a PC for a while. If so then it would make sense the the Linux version is more expensive since there are few, if any, crapware titles for Linux.
Trees are great but I heard that a lot of the world's oxygen comes from aquatic plants so I did a quick fact check and found this:
It is estimated that between 70% and 80% of the oxygen in the atmosphere is produced by marine plants. source
Which means that a lot of CO2 is consumed by these plants right? I'm now wondering, if these marine plants only have access to dissolved CO2 in the water would it help to diffuse CO2 into the water? Wouldn't this be a good alternative being that there are so many "Easy Extraction" machines in the seas? These are also not susceptible to forest fires AFAIK.
I hear that nowadays if you want more than one static public IP many ISPs will require a document explaining what you plan to do with the IPs. Unfortunately many large blocks were given out before such rules were in place (before NAT was popularized) so owners of these huge blocks like your govt entity have a lot to spare while other's have to jump through hoops to get a few.
FYI,/16 is the amount of IPs that many accredited Universities were assigned.
That's a cool idea but I'm just wondering how often you have to retry. I can see myself screwing this one up often since it's pretty hard to count long rows of asterisks and remember which characters you skipped.
Also, a combination keylogger, mouse tracker would be able to replay this with ease.
I think the summary has a misquote. It should read "Sun wants Java to be easily available for use in Linux distributions but we want new MySQL features to be unavailable."
While it's much better than close sourcing the whole thing it's still really bad. To quote my previous post from the MySQL thread
Those using the community version won't be able to take advantage of features that could be essential for future applications. The problem is that we don't know what features will become essential in the future.
Here's a hypothetical. Imagine if a hugely popular DB closed the source on any new developments years ago before any ACID features were available. Then ACID features were developed as closed source and only available in the commercial version. Almost any large scale application would require the commercial version. What I'm curious about is why such different stances between the two products. One is heading towards openness while the other is adding more closed features.
Good point although I'm not sure how many people, including techies, know how to setup SIP software. SIP is still esoteric in my opinion. X-Lite is probably the most popular SIP soft client but it's not very user friendly.
Additionally, many countries including the US have poor mobile Internet connections that can't support the heavier G.711 codec required by many SIP providers. You're lucky to have a 3.5G connection.
Don't forget, most of these UMPCs and MIDs are real PCs (X86) with high resolution screens as compared to crippled Windows Mobile devices. Not sure what phone you're using but I for one refuse to use WM.
My prediction is that Skype will not only become more popular but also more profitable. Their savior will come in the form of the new mobile computing platform. UMPC or MID + 3G/3.5G/4G/WiMAX + Skype.
Once battery life increases (atom) and mobile networks improve, techies will quickly adopt this platform as their primary phones but they'll still need to make and receive calls to others with PSTN phones.
Then we have the licensing costs of windows and applications.
Largely insignificant when bundled with a new computer, which is where most Windows home users get Word and Excel.
What?? I worked at a huge computer store for many years and never saw a single PC go out the door bundled with Word and Excel. Most came with MS Works.
All seriousness aside, don't most home users get Word and Excel from Piratebay or Isohunt?
If they (security experts) run across a scam they're not familiar with they're just as vulnerable as "stupid" people.
Knowing how to use the tools offers no protection against scams.
Understanding the underlaying technology makes a HUGE difference in susceptibility to phishing scams. If a user understands DNS, TCP, IP, NAT, routing, SSL, proxying, and WiFi, they'll have a much easier time identifying scams even if they're not familiar with that particular scam. Their eye's will be trained to look for typos or other dns tricks in the address bar. They'll check for SSL and validate certificate hierarchy for private transactions if they're not already confident about their certificate integrity for instance when using public terminals. They'll know not to use DNS servers assigned by DHCP in public areas.
You can't tell me that doesn't help. To fool the experts you'd probably have to circumvent the technology itself. If you gain control of a root DNS server or Internet router for instance. Or if you figure out a way to spoof a valid SSL certificate. Then again, if this becomes possible I'm sure it'll make huge news.
use a hash algorithm to create an e-mail id if you don't want to be found.
until the spammers start using rainbow tables to brute force email address. Of course I'm joking but imagine if the payoff justified that level of resources. It's scary.
All that effort to create policy for policing P2P should be shifted to the spam problem.
If you think about it, XP has three levels. Control panel, policy editor, registry editor.
There are a limited number of pretty icons in the control panel and settings are easily reversible. MS went a step further in XP by hiding some of the panel widgets in "category view" for those who can't even handle the classic mode.
The policy editor has far more parameters, less fancy icons but still provides extended information about the parameters and usually limits the changes by using forms. The policy editor also makes it easy to revert changes but the severity of damage from incorrect settings is higher here than in the control panel.
Regedit will show you every setting but there are no explanations in the interface and it's very possible for novice users to enter invalid values or completely delete parameters which could render a PC unbootable. There is no way to revert unless you manually backup first.
Is it perfect? No, but it's got the three levels you mentioned and it seems to keep people out of places they shouldn't be.
Even if you only give your private address to your friends, you must have smart friends who NEVER:
Included you on a To: or CC: list of recipients,
Used your email address to search for you on social sites,
Sent you e-cards/e-invites
That's pretty amazing. I'm sure most of the spam in my "friends only" or "business only" email accounts were not leaked by me but by a trusted party who didn't know better.
Computers are already cryptic enough when they speak normal English. I'd rather not have to hear one say "Unga bunga. Me get segfault. Me dump core." Fixed that for you.
Slashdot Mirror
With all the crazy patents given out in the US, I wonder if someone holds a patent for blurring faces or other obfuscation techniques.
1) Patent obvious idea.
2) Wait for a big companies to use it.
4) Profit!

No better time to switch to Ubuntu Satanic Edition!
FYI I'm not satanic, I just like the graphics.

Well the computer had sudden motion detection "designed to help prevent disk failures if the computer is dropped or undergoes severe vibration."

Anyone can edit their volumes with the included white-out and ball point pen.
In other words, please remove those 4000 IP addresses from your PeerGuardian/firewall blocklist.
