Actually, LC_MESSAGES is responsible for the text messages translation.

If so, we were not such bad guys - we didn't mine the contents, nor were we actually interested in the values of any packet header fields. The purpose of the product was to distinguish between different types of traffic (e.g., between D?DoS and legitimate traffic) in real time, and differentiation was all that mattered. True, but that does not mean the technology could not be expanded. Considering that a 300mHz PII was a hot machine in those days, and now you can get a quad processor each 10 times that fast for under $1,000 or a CELL type processor on a video game console, it could really be done a lot better. We got out starting capital after the bubble had burst and their bankruptcy was, as far as I can tell, due to other reasons. Ok, I was being polite. :-) Certainly not us - the principals. We are all into other things now... Over the last 5 years we got quite a few calls (including from the now recovered VC) saying there is real need for the technology, where are you? - Elsewhere. Yes, that happens all the time. One of the reasons my company failed was our lawyer told us all to go out and get day jobs instead of selling some stock. Startups are like most relationships, once you split up, you never get back together. :-( I don't know if you applied for patents for the technology, but if you did and due to the lack of funding abandoned the applications, or did not pursue U.S. provisionals, it's public domain. If it stayed a trade secret, or someone was able to carry on and get patents, then they may still be worth a lot of money to the right buyer. Now, since Geoff invited me to the discussion on the topic in question... We all routinely use encryption in many situations: cell phones, ssh to remote hosts, secure web connections from Amazon to banks, you name it. So far I have had no run-ins with government agencies because of that. No, luckily things have lightened up on that. I remember when it was illegal to export DES code from the U.S. Many software companies added it to force a legal way of preventing people selling their programs outside the U.S. To keep it on the FOSS topic, a programmer in Australia wrote a version of it and submitted to DECUS (the DEC user's group). They put it on a contributed software CD, published in the U.S. It could not be legally exported although the code was originally not from the U.S. Many people on this list remember the DECSS code T-shirts and song. :-) If I understand the article linked to by the OP, the proposed law does not authorize continuous data mining of everybody's communications. From the article, it looks to me that if the law is passed it will be much easier for the police to find out who the wiretapped suspect was talking to or sent an email (possibly encrypted) to at a specific time. For that, they want a reverse map of phone numbers (IP addresses, etc.) to names/IDs/addresses that can be easily queried without a court order. I don't know how well that would fly. Since most ISP's use dynamic addressing, a database is only good for a few minutes at most. It would have to have both data records and a time-stamp. This is, in principle, worrying. I assume that today if the police wiretap someone's Internet connection then to see who got the email sent at 20:47 on 2007/08/20 they will have to go to an ISP who, I hope, will want to see a court order. I doubt that. I expect that if the police called one of the big ISP's (are there any small ones left?) and said we tracked an Al-Quieda terrorist to this IP address, the ISP would jump at the chance to help. Even more so if they said it was a Hamas terrorist in the process of preparing an attack. If anyone of us calls an ISP and complains about break-in attempts, spam, or whatever from am IP address the ISP may take action against the owner, but they won't tell you who it is. With this new law, at least the police won't have to ask ISP for the info. Is that good or bad? The current system stops random piscene searches (fishing expeditions), but nothing else. I'm sure the person who claimed on this list that the government is monitoring his emails is on some watch list already and something beeps when he sends an email in this country, etc. I don't like it, personally. Besides potential abuse by government agencies random people can draw attention if anyone, including criminals, decide to subvert the system. E.g., if you suspect that your email may be intercepted, encrypt every email and send it to N different IP addresses. It will only be decrypted by the intended recipient who has the key, but if the police decide to check who it was sent to they will be either swamped or start investigating innocents, depending on N. Or send the email to a permissive mailing list or newsgroup that

resizing partition problem
I migrated my system to a larger disc. Basically, I used dd to copy the old partitions to the new disc. I know that if the target partition is larger than the source, dd will result in the additional space not being available. So I did what I thought was a smart thing, but I've still got a problem. 1 - I created an identical sized partition (/dev/sd13 = 20 Gb) and did dd. 2 - I used the Mandriva Control Center to enlarge the new partition to 48Gb. 3 - Control Center reports the partition size as 49 Gb. 4 - fdisk says the same. Notice that /dev/sda12 is a 20Gb partition and /dev/sda13 is more that double the number of blocks, which is consistent with it being 49 Gb.
