Just curious. 1. Anything less is not morally permissible 2. Improve compression algorithms (quality or speed) 3. Add support for new compression formats 4. Add support for new filesystems (jffs2?) 5. Add drivers and support for new devices (CF GPS/Wifi?) 6. Add more image processing features (rotate prior to compression?) 7. Install games to play when bored need I think up more? ;)

Windows firewalls
by Joe Brouhard 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

Okay I know this is a bit off topic, and probably get me flammed... i have a friend who runs a Windows server (no, there is no way to convert to linux as she's using a hosted box. App is also locked to Win32, so...) and it's routinely hit by portscanners and has been hacked at least twice now. Anyone know of *GOOD* and *DECENT* Firewalls? Anything but Zonealarm.. it sucks balls. She's also not really in the mood to pay for the software, so i'mlooking for opensource options. i was thinking of an IPtables solution, but i don't think the host will allow cgywin installed on the box. Thanks in advance Joe Brouhard jbrouhard(a)chansata.com

Oracle to become an OS vendor

Look at the bottom of the first page. I wonder what ties Oracle has to Goldman Sachs. I sense some not so subtle stock manipulation. Personally I'm tired of looking at Larry Ellison's face. He is definitely in the cult of personality club with Steve Jobs. IMHO
