soon we'll be able to speak into our phones, and this will be converted into a text which will automatically send to a recipient at the end of each long pause...
imagine if that was coupled with a speech synthesiser too, so that when your friend replied, it could convert their text into voice, so that you could hear them...
it'd almost be like talking to each other, how cool would that be...
hmm.. most people on the reg cannot read it seems... including the reg themselves
if one reads the 1990 act amendment, you'll notice that it states that the offence only applies IF the accused *knowingly* adapts or supplies the application for use in a criminal offence... i.e. it's not what the software can do for you, but what you are guilty of using it for, with intent...
so... carry on writing and distributing nmap and nessus peeps... just do it for good reasons m'kay...
nothing to see here other than a law which states "if you give a hammer to someone when they've said they're going to use it for a crime, then you are assisting them"
i've got several domains on fasthosts/ukreg... and i've not received any email regarding this breach... this article was the first i knew of it, and only then cause i have your newd feed on my google homepage...
what worries me therefore is the idea that they should publicly announce the breach before even advising the users... which is akin to telling the media that your friends house is unlocked before letting him know...
i think i'll move hosts asap ... which i was thankfully planning anyway due to various issues that have been steadily increasing of late...
let me start by saying i'm a linux user, and a nix user generally for 18 years... and i STILL think that linux is not suitable to give to "bloke on the street"
i'd love to let bloke on the street use it, in fact i've tried...
but as stated above there are times when you have to use a command line, on every distro i've tried... i'm not scared of a command line, no... but the people i want to recommend it to are... but they're not STUPID... they're expecting not to have to mess around....
Alan above seems to suggest that computers are an elite tool only for those with hacker backgrounds... and this is certainly the worst aspect of linux community - always saying "well it doesn't take much intelligence to use xyz command line tool to hack the /etc/x11 config to enable 24bit on your nvidia fx..."
no, it doesn't take much intelligence, it takes a lot of wasted time and effort - not for me - but for a person that has no interest in such things...
linux distros should support other distro releases, not bitch about which is better... it was said above that it's like a pc mac fight... it's even worse than that... at least a pc-mac fight has a vague reason - fighting between linux distros is worse than the analogy of two bald men fighting over a comb...
i continue, avidly, to be a linux user, and whoopee, i like ubuntu... but would i recommend linux to a non-techie - nope, nope and nope.... well... not yet... i tried last year with a couple of distros and the user said to me "how do i get xyz" ... and i had to reply... "erm, it's a little tricky, you have to do this, [command shell tapping] then this, then this" ... user replies "erm, i think i want windows"

[ if you want to just hear the quote it's at the very beginning, so you don't have to suffer the whole track ]

seems quite a sane law that...

linux burns while distros fiddle
