Fwd: Re: why desktop apps are able to kill my freebsd box?
In other words, I don's think, It's about software at all In my opinion Original Message Subject: Re: why desktop apps are able to kill my freebsd box?

Did you at all try to implement anything you were not sure of? Or what did you ask again? What do you want to employ in the first place, and what security risks are negotiable? (firefox/freezings? try to reseat every piece of hardware until no freeze is found, including cpu, then complain about software) On 2011-07-01 11:00, Michael wrote: Why a faulty desktop application run as unprivileged user is able to crash my system? I mean, I know programs have bugs and sometimes they lead to crashes. I'm fine with that. But why a crashing program (for example firefox or banshee) is able to kill the whole system? And by 'crash' or 'kill' i mean that for whatever reason the system is frozen and doesn't reply to anything but a hard reset. It just doesn't make much sense so I'm assuming that I must be doing something wrong. Where and what kind of restrictions should I set up to make sure that a buggy unprivileged program cannot freeze my box? Thank you in advance.

Re: OPEN SOURCE MASTERPLANS
please stop posting this! Nice ASCII logo. I work for poor people through UNDP. one more proof that there i) are wrong people in the wrong places and ii) much money is being wasted. I am not a government nor Microsoft employee. shouldn't make a difference as money rules the world (*cough*)... so your employer is meaningless (even if it's any UN subsidiary -- the UN is meaningless, please look at the US spreading war all over the world, the UN doing nothing against it. and no, it's not the 'terror' they're fighting -- the real terror comes from the US -- it's the fight for 'their oil'... bastards)! (Ask Bill) A lot of people in poor and developing countries are already aware that they should move towards open source, and they themselves keep up with those master plans everyday ... That is true. They know they should move. But they do not really know how. I have seen the quality of many 3rd world country masterplans. They are poorly presented; their language and formatting is bad; and most of them aren't based on facts. Western masterplans are more decent and sustainable. If they were to be adapted to 3rd world conditions, perhaps the situation would progress angular, and 3rd world people wouldn't have to struggle to keep up with their masterplans. blabla. it's not the lame presentation of even lamer masterplans that makes hundreds of thousands of people in the 3rd world die of hunger and deseases every month, no, it's that fucking capitalism! you are in one of many key positions to change this. do something! and please stop driveling! -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Senior Designer @ http://www.home.no/barbershop Furious @ http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf cheers, timo (communist, vegetarian, open source dev, blablabla) -- Timo Schoeler | http://macfinity.net/~tis | [EMAIL PROTECTED] //macfinity -- finest IT services | http://macfinity.net Key fingerprint = F844 51BE C22C F6BD 1196 90B2 EF68 C851 6E12 2D8A There are 10 types of people in the world.
