  2. mod_rewrite is your friend by isoga · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft Fires Mac Fan For Blog Photo
    One way to give yourself limited protection is to use Apache's mod_rewrite function to send visitors from your corporate net to a dull page using a configuration entry like this:


    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^1\.2\.3\.4$
    RewriteRule ^/$ /blank.html

    If you have Apache set up properly you can use domain names instead of IP Address ranges

  3. A Handy Hint by isoga · · Score: 0 · on Gator Forces Site To Remove 'Spyware' Label
    Rather than spend your time constantly cleaning up, why not re-configure them so the users cant install the software or the activeX is denied, silently, by default?

    Check the Internet Exploder Security options and global policies (if its Win NT/XP)

    You might try Mozilla too while you are at it

  4. No, _you_ are wrong in so many ways... by isoga · · Score: 0 · on AT&T Moves Toward Mail-Server Whitelist
    Read what they are doing!

    They are not creating a whitelist of everyone who sends email to AT&T Customers - You are right that would be a mess

    They are whitelisting their customers SMTP servers so no one can send spam FROM AT&T's network.

    They are implementing a Sender Permitted From type of system

  5. Great Interview - Here's a suggestion by isoga · · Score: 1 · on Questions for DoJ IP Attorneys Asked and Answered
    Well answered. Lengthy, and a little dry but guess what? That's what IP is all about!

    It does seem though that although they are lawyers who are interested in technology and how it intersects with the law, and that they research tech issues etc before a case, that they don't have enough of a tech background / training.

    I propose that they should find more avenues to have contact with 'techies.' They should have opportunities to attend some programming and compSci classes, so that when someone tries to invoke the DMCA on some trivial (eg/ ROT13) 'encryption' mechanism, they understand just how much the wool is being pulled over their eyes.

    Similarly, they should talk to FOSS project leaders, try out leading FOSS tools, try running their own LAMP powered website, etc.

    I think it's key that these people see how empowering FOSS software is and the resultant benefit to society, before they put forward copyright cases, as after all, the purpose of copyright (and dare I say it, all laws) is to benefit society.

  6. Stupid story by isoga · · Score: 1, Flamebait · on The Wifi Slugfest Over Portland's PGE Park
    There's no argument here except the ball park didnt like the press release implying that they were involved in the WiFi when they're not.

    Slashdot is getting pretty poor recently. More and more like the sensationalist British tabloids. Anyone recommend a better place for my tech news?
