I guess I am the only one, but I like Gnome 3. I prefer it over Gnome Classic and Unity. It's not slow, it looks good, I got all the features I want.

Gnome 3 has become better for every release, and I like it! And every Ubuntu-install I do to friends and family, ie no-tech people, have no problems with it. I just have to learn the to use the Windows-button on the keyboard.

"I'm really surprised that Yahoo leaked 450,000 user passwords. I had no idea Yahoo still had that many users." (link)

"Had another look at the latest Yahoo password leak. There are two users with the password 'hunter2'. (See QDB: http://bash.org/?244321)" (link).

If you _must_ have OpenWRT, you can stop reading.

If not, consider Mikrotik. I used OpenWRT, DD-WRT and the rest, but none of them was as good as Mikrotik. It's simply an incredible list of features the box and OS gives you, and you can easily configure it via WinBox (Wine or Windows) or simply via SSH. They have a range of products from 10/100 routers to a 9-port 10/100/1000 router/switch (see link below), where you can attached up to three wireless-cards.

See http://www.mikrotik.com/ and http://www.roc-noc.com/mikrotik/routerboard/rb493g-complete.html

(I do not live in the US, so I do not know the prices, but it's defiantly a big bang for the buck :-))

I do work with network security (that is, I monitor clients traffic on a network, looking for suspicious traffic) and I can tell you that Bittorrent is not the way people get virus/malware today. Neither is it via the network (a worm), and seldom via e-mail.

It is by visiting a website, which contains malware via Flash, Iframes and/or Ads. A so-called drive-by. This usually happens either by someone linking to a "dangerous" website in Facebook, Twitter or a public forum and saying it's a funny video of some kind. Or a popular website has gotten an Ad from a 3rd party where the Ad contains some dangerous Flash-code.

As long as you do not run the latest version of Firefox/IE/Adobe Flash/Adobe Acrobat Reader and you are at the wrong site at the wrong time, you get infected! And sometimes the latest version of that software is exploitable too.

I can not understand why no informative post have been made about Celsius and water (at sealevel, normal preassure and not salt-water):

Below 0 degrees Celsius, it's ice.
Above 100 degrees Celsius, it's steam.
In the middle it's liquid.

Has Fahrenheit the same logical setup?

Where did you learn all this? Do you have some useful links? I would like some more information about this topic, and more information how your script actually works.

While it's nice to have a book which explains stuff like STL, I've often looked for a good online STL reference where I could get a list of every function in some class, class hierarchies, etc...

It would be nice to have a Javadoc/Doxygen-ish interface with at least a one line description of all functions in STL.

Anyone know of such a page?

And better alternatives exist - like qmail and djbdns. Is there any reason to run those pieces of shit besides legacy config files?

To quote the Makefile for /usr/ports/mail/qmail:

NO_PACKAGE= djb's packaging license does not allow non-standard qmail binary distributions

I would guess this is a big showstopper for using qmail in the FreeBSD basesystem. However, I think it was recently added some glue to sysinstall to let you choose MTA during install.

Perhaps, if it does exist, it is used for some authentication of sorts, when you initiate games online with it ?

I'm not sure how it works, I dont have one, but it seems to me connections through a medium, like some big gaming server, instead of direct connection between the two isps and hence the dreamcasts, would be a waste of bandwith.

The authentication could be to avoid country mixups, lets say it was Sonic adventure japanese and american ( heh if that game cannot use gaming online, forgive me on that, i dunno virtually anything about it )
Username: SonicAdventure
Password: here the japanese game connects to the american, hence tries a password like 'jappa'.
It cannot connect, the connection dies, and the game gives you an error. This could also work with version differences, if you can download some game-patches or similar that would change the two games.

that's about it
