Relevance: 5.40
Poverty is a global problem, which is not limited to third world developing countries. Even mature developed nations like United States has ~18% poverty rate. There are many reasons and causes of poverty, which includes but not limited to, natural disasters, war, disease, politics, religion, and over-population and so on and so forth. Some of these causes are beyond our control while others are beyond our means. There is no single factor that can totally eliminate poverty, even the almighty latest Linux Kernel release; but many ideas and anti-poverty initiative can come together to reduce the causes of poverty.

NVIDIA Makes A Trivial OSS Driver Update

07/01/2008  
Relevance: 5.12
It's been seven weeks since the obfuscated xf86-video-nv driver was last updated, so this afternoon NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner decided to release version 2.1.10, which will be in time for X.Org 7.4. However, before getting excited that they may actually be doing something good with this open-source driver, it continues to be limited to 2D acceleration and of limited use to someone that just laid down several hundred dollars for a graphics card or two.

Dynamic Content - Temporary Data Storage

09/22/2008  
Relevance: 4.71
I have one last item I would like to discuss pertaining to the use of html forms. That is, the question on how to store unvetted, input data. I will show it makes sense to store the news items as formatted, ready to publish summaries as separate text files each containing one story. I further suggest they be deposited in an off site directory with severely limited access rights. The formatting for news items is simple, using either a template or an informed (trained) user. I show how I would have implemented a simple file naming structure to make news items easier to work with in an inherently date / time ordering. For this particular, limited instance, I think my model would have worked.

Relevance: 4.14
If you're reading LinuxSecurity.com then it's a safe bet that you are already using SSH, but are you using it in the best way possible? Have you configured it to be as limited and secure as possible? The goal of this document is to kick in the new year with some best practices for SSH: why you should use them, how to set them up, and how to verify that they are in place.

XO-1 spotted in red enclosure

Relevance: 4.11
At first I thought that I was looking at a late April's fool joke. Then I was reminded of other potentially faked material involving Microsoft and OLPC. But the more often I look at the photos that Gizmodo has posted the more I believe that I'm really looking at a limited edition XO-1 that comes in red..

Proposal: How to do DRM

04/18/2007  
Relevance: 4.03
"The customer needs to experience the software first-hand without reduced functionality during the trial" is a phrase that Microsoft uses on several marketing sheets. What that means is that trials should only be limited by time, not in WHAT you can do during that time. That got me thinking....

CPU Rings, Privilege, and Protection

08/27/2008  
Relevance: 3.82
You probably know intuitively that applications have limited powers in Intel x86 computers and that only operating system code can perform certain tasks, but do you know how this really works? This post takes a look at x86 privilege levels, the mechanism whereby the OS and CPU conspire to restrict what user-mode programs can do.
