Billions of dollars for this? yup.. more innovation by Billy (the maker of "Bob" and "clippy"). Of course windows wasn't a unique idea (ask mac and xerox), nor was word (ask word perfect), nor was excel (ask lotus 1-2-3)...etc.. maybe someday Microsoft will come up with something worthwhile? Naaa...
And we can't use a tool like PWDUMP? to grab the hashes remotely? Also, This FREE tool will sniff windows 2k traffic. Yes, Kerberos is one solution.. and disabling NTLANMAN will help as well, but how many enterprise environments are there that don't support mixed mode? Maybe a better question is how many HAVE TO support mixed mode because of the problems with the microsoft version of Kerberos communicating with the long standing tried and true version of Kerberos that ALL other platforms use (and have used) for years?
All of this would be irrelevant if the community would just embrace a P2P filesharing tool that is encrypted.. (yeah, they could still trace where you came from but not what you were trading). Without evidence, how can they come after someone?
WHAT P2P filesharing tools are there (that encrypt transfers?) that maintain privacy for their users?
If you've had a windows system up for 5 mos. then you certainly aren't patching (and rebooting) the system and are adding yet another vulnerable windows system to the internet... Unfortunately, I think this is common as we have seen with code-red/sql-slammer/etc.. propagating long after patches were released. Heck, even MS has had that problem (not willing/able to keep up with the system patches they release).
Perhaps you don't realize that MORE IRAQI's would die under Saddam than the US could kill even if we were not being so careful to minimize civilian casualties. Actually, I know you probably DO realize but are ignoring the reality of such.
Sorry, but unlike many liberals I am gamefully employed. I pay taxes and I do not beleive that America is just "pounding" Saddam and his armies "for no good reason". It's unfortunate how few "peace" people forget about the lives of the Iraqi people.
ok, here we go.. the auto was invented in Germany? maybe one design. the auto was DEVELOPED in the USA (Ford Motors) first mass production. If we want to continue to nit-pick, we can say PERSONAL computers were developed in the USA (at least mass produced). Encryption has been around for thousands of years.. as has mathematics. This Country the one that brought us the telegraph, lightbulb and thousands of other innovations (Java, the GUI desktop..etc) is indeed the greatest Country on the planet. While I agree that others have contributed and even invented some of the things we take for granted today, my point (in case you are to thick headed to catch it) was that America is not an "uneducated" country as the genius that was commenting on my IQ was implying. Additionally, the $ we are spending to FREE IRAQ is money well spent (afterall, we STILL have 80% of the worlds wealth).
What? Let's see.. the USA is a stable peace loving country that embraces freedom. Saddams Iraq (the old Iraq) is the exact opposite.. madman for a leader, single dictatorship whose own people hate but cannot say they hate (nor can they vote to change it). Additionally, other Countries own dangerous weapons, but none have leaders that remotely compare to Saddam for psychotic.
Typical.. Thanks for making my case about the fine quality of the individuals that support Saddam. You are an excellent example and make my point for me.
Peacefully calm? Hahahahaha... sure life in Iraq was peacefully calm. Just ask the children that were being regularly tortured by Saddams "elite guard" in front of their parents to get the parents to talk. Anyway, Saddam is a deadman as are his armies. The rest is just wasted breath when it comes to discussing it further. The 74.7 Billion is well spent. The USA would gladly pay more to free those that are being treated the way the Iraqi people are.

I have no desire to know where the AlJAzeer are located. Nor do I care. I just look forward to them being crippled. As far as my ass and my education, I live in a Country that has 80% of the worlds wealth and 10% of it's population... This country is also the place where the automobile was developed, the lightbulb was invented, computers were born...etc... so think what you may, we have a great army too (as Saddam and his armies are learning).
I hope that the USG is removing ALL the pro-terrorist idiots and the news sites that support them! If you are not with us... you are against us. If you are against us, you won't be for long.

The US is in the process of FREEING IRAQ from a sick sick leader (SADDAM) and his armies. I look forward to the day that the rest of this confused world will look back and realize that is the case.
As far as "AlJazeer".. I hope one of the US missles takes out the entire building (if it is in Iraq). If it's not in Iraq, then I am proud to see ANYONE hacking it and bringing it down. Hell, even the Slashdot effect works nicely. Too bad the Iraqi people will have to continue to suffer while they are liberated by America. If Saddam cared enough about the Iraqi people to not hide his weapons in schools, this would not be the case. Still, far less will be killed during the liberation process than Saddam would have tortured/raped/killed had the US not taken any action.
If they truly enforce this, then MS will lose market share the way Apple did when they stopped being the flexible environment for users. Fortunately for Apple, they have come back around. What OS will take the position? LINUX of course...
How is it that America removing a dictator who tortures and kills his own people is "inhumane"? I've never understood the "peace" seeking people who don't seem to care about the average Iraqi that can't vote, can't hardly make enough to live and still things the USA should keep "talking" with a guy that has been lying to the world for 3 decades... It is now time TO FREE IRAQ and KILL SADDAM and his Armies!!! Then the average iraqi may have a chance to earn his/her own palace without his repression.
Next it will be radio shack... without them, most home electronic enthusiasts,phone phreakers,ham radio junkies and hardware tweakers would have trouble getting the tools they want.
While at it, they should shutdown any store that sells blank cd's, video tapes or casettes since they can also be used for illegal purposes. I'm just glad they leave the head shops,online gambling and online porn places alone since they are so moral and legal....
Once again, we have closed down a business because it offered a product that COULD be used for illegal purposes. Napster had similiar problems (how was it illegal for a company to allow users to share music? they simply offered a means to share music. music that was open to share or not could be posted on napster..even songs written by "home artists" - the USERS were the ones breaking the law. Does that mean that if someone uses a Bicycle to flee from a crime that all bike shops should be shut down?)
This is truly a sad sad sad day for America! Hopefully over time we will grow up and realize that the world is changing.
Yes, of course OpenSource can/will/should be used to truly free iraq. Freeing the Iraqi people by Killing Saddam and his Armies is a great use for OpenSource. Over the years, our freedoms have often been defended by using "free" and/or volunteer resources.
Slashdot Mirror

It runs on Windows.. another secure choice. Guess they have a long way to go.

Which is more expensive (not that I agre with your idea that XP is as stable.. but if it were).

Come now.. the biggest theives ever (the recording industry) telling others they are theives? HAHAHAHA..
Why not call us geeks? Either that or Studs..
for a second anyway..
yes, this is a great nation. because we have always been slow to anger and quick to help..but not afraid of standing for what is right.
