Let's take a look at the charges levied against the student:
34 felony counts of altering public record
11 felony counts of stealing and secreting public records
7 felony counts of illegal computer access and fraud
6 felony counts of burglary
4 felony counts of identity theft
3 felony counts of altering book of records
2 felony counts of receiving stolen property
1 felony count of conspiracy
1 felony count of attempting altering of a public record
At first glance, that looks like a lot of charges. At second glance, it looks like the DA made all of them specifically to give himself bargaining power.
Charges in cases brought at least partially for publicity (as this case most likely was) aren't meant to reflect a final case disposition, or even the DA's expectations.
Yes but how many have actually eaten at the restaurant?
It seems that many years ago a friend of mine had a rented barn (which he used for storage) half a mile the other side of the railroad tracks in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where he was keeping all sorts of mean nasty ugly things...
He was eventually deported.
For what it's worth, Alice's Retaurant wasn't the name of the restaurant; it's the name of the song. Unfortunately age is catching up with me and I no longer remember the name of the restaurant.
Wikipedia says it was named "Back Room Rest", but I couldn't attest to that.
For our group (company, actually) the best answer was a forum. Though there are many open source programs available (phpBB is a good example), having managed a large forum for several years I must say that I've found vBulletin to be the best for ease of management.
If you're going to add this address space to your firewall or block it at the router - consider that this rogue outfit is likely to be taken down soon, and that address space may then be assigned to a legitimate operation.
Great. Then we'll read the new Slashdot article and remove the block.
we can just route that block to/dev/null and be done with it.;-)
Based on some testing this morning, Spamhaus may have added the entire block to their lists. We've added it to our blocklists. We're recommending our clients do the same.
Hans is an egotist. He *knows* he's smarter than you. And he spews contempt at your ignorance for not realizing this. Ask anyone who's ever debated with him in a forum. He acts as though you are nothing cause he knows all.
But when he gets a chance to show his knowledge, he shines, even at the expense of, perhaps, his own ego.
For example a few years ago in conversation with him at a computer club meeting in Pasadena I asked him if I should use Reiser3 in a production email-server environment (the Reiser filesystems are much better at handling large numbers of small files, which an IMAP file system must do). He responded that no, it really wasn't ready for production yet.
This almost immediately after he'd spent an hour extolling it's virtues.
That same night I met his wife and his children, and I never saw any signs of any problems to come; it was before he realized his partner and his wife were stealing from him.
So now, falling back on an article (perhaps a Slashdot article) as inspiration... might Hans be a sufferer of Asperger Syndrome?
The Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome) may lend some credence to my point.
Yes. All they care about is that the browser window changes color to show whether or not there's a Cert, and whether the Cert is Low Assurance (Domain Validated), Medium Assurance (electronic validation of domain and owner) or High Assurance (validated by humans taking multiple steps).
Which is reasonable (even though it may cost me business) because most people never even notice that most phishers don't even have certs.
or people that do either a lot of commuting or lots of road travel, it's worth the money.
It's not as much about road travel as it is about convenience. I use XM at home; I use XM in my office; I don't even bother to plug it in to the car for relatively short trips.
While CDs, MP3s, and HD radio all have their place, none of them give you the choice without effort of having 170 channels to choose from.
Note first that I know Hans Reiser and that I've met his wife and children.
I don't know whether he's guilty or not. But I know I'm a geek, and I know the problems my ex and I had during our marriage.
And I'm on good terms with my ex now.
So I gave her some links and asked her what she thought.
She agrees that my geekiness was hard to deal with. Would either of us have killed the other? No. But though she decided on a simple divorce, she understands why Nina might have:
a) disappeared with her new boyfriend
b) figured out a way to get to Russia without going through US Customs
c) managed to get our kids to Russia as well
d) figure out how to live in privacy until her husband went to prison
Can vindictive wives think of and do such things? My ex didn't when she divorced me, but the saw that Nina might very well have done so.

Yeah, but I've already got abandoned.us
And I didn't need to create much; simply a pair of nameservers.
The original pre-MS hotmail also used qmail.

It's the entertainment that will not fit into those plans.
Which will mean that the ISP will become the only entertainment provider.
That may be fine with you, but I bet it won't be fine with most of us.

I did once meet officer Obie, though.
Hmmm I do too linux support is my sole criterion for buying any hardware
I've got an old Intel 386 chip. Care to buy it?
What new license? Public Domain means no license; you can do what you want.

I believe you've just said you'd pay your own expenses :) .
I was about to post a request for someone to please review the review. Thank you for saving me the time.
Sure. Just like guns. Then criminals won't be able to get them.

I have a block on China and Latvia.
Which works for you. For us it wouldn't; we have clients in China and SysAdmins working for us from Latvia
To each his own
we can just route that block to /dev/null and be done with it. ;-)
Based on some testing this morning, Spamhaus may have added the entire block to their lists. We've added it to our blocklists. We're recommending our clients do the same.
They will likely add the 20 cents on anyway.
GoDaddy already has.

but the fact is that you do need to accept some error rate to live in a lawful society.
Except that if you're the victim of the error rate you don't get to live in that lawful society.

We still have an old MSWindows system running Netscape 6.2 (I think; it could be 6.1).
:).
It's totally secure.
Because the old system it's on isn't connected to the 'net
Why do we keep that system at all? Because it's the only system we have that runs PageMaker 6.5, and there's no reason to update that.
It creates PDF files that we can print perfectly well from our otherwise Linux network.
It's not their upstream bandwidth that's a problem; it's the shared bandwidth on their local cable.
