I fail to see why UC[34] would require unauthenticated access. In Barbara's case, unauthenticated access is required because she *wants* the box to be vulnerable, at least via this vector: She is setting up a honeypot, she wants attackers to get in (at least part way). Given she's a security researcher, she can probably hack the code to do what she wants, so UC4 may be off the table. It's *so* off the table. We should not make provide any sort of UI for setting up a honey pot, just like we don't keep vulnerable versions of e.g. sendmail around. :-) I see don't particularly object to keeping the option around by way of gconf. The UI should just not allow it. -- | Soren Hansen| Linux2Go | http://Linux2Go.dk/ | | Seniorkonsulent | Lindholmsvej 42, 2.

Re: Looking Glass and Summer of Code
What are the benefits of having this kind of menu except animation? What kind of usability improvements we can expect? The key idea is the menu history displayed on the left. Rather than having cascading menus spreading all over the screen, the most recent menu is displayed along with a list of the parent menus. The user can go back up in the hierarchy by clicking the name of the menu they want to return to. Looking Glass already uses the idea of only displaying the most recent menu, but going back up in the hierarchy is confusing in the current interface. Normally, the last entry in the menu takes you back up a level, but not always (sometimes its the *second* to the last entry that takes you back up). In addition, the go back menu entry is not highlighted in any way, and it is not immediately apparent to a new user that it is anything other than yet another program icon. After I made the animation, I discovered that the Windows Vista start menu is built around a similar idea, although my design is a bit more compact. (Vista basically takes the Explorer metaphor of a collapsible tree and jams it inside of the start menu.) The animation is just eye candy. :-) William -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Help with Summer of Code
Google Summer of Code is restricted to students. So head back to school and join in :) Corey On 3/20/07, Georgeta Nistor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My name is Mihai Nistor. I am 47 and bored.

Thanks Mihai Nistor PS: let the beauty to be in the eye of the beholder. Judge programs by their functionality and compatibility with different Linux versions (Debian, Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu).

Is that right? That is indeed the intent. It exists in the spec under Implementation, but I concede the wording could do with some work: A flag should be created to force a check on a clean file system for command line use. Ok, be sure to use the same flags used by fsck.ext3 as they translate to vfat. Mike Unfortunately I cannot use the same flags, because it is already used. I updated the spec to suggest -c for check clean, because -f is in use. -- Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S31°54'06 - E115°50'39 (Yokine, WA) -- ()/)/)()..ASCII for Onno.. |?..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..
