They claimed 9 pps from 16 source IPs was enough to bring a system to its knees. So that eliminates the possibility of brute forcing the cookie.
I'm not saying this isn't just naptha with some client-side caching to make it less resource intensive to the attacker, but it's not as you described it.
I was comparing various search terms/expressions, and figured "gay" would provide quite a few hits. From there, I tried some other similar terms. The results are pretty funny (unintentional I'm sure).:)
# hits for gay: cuil - 1,032 million google - 409 million
# hits for straight: cuil - 0 (ok, all kidding aside, wtf?) google - 369 million
# hits for homosexual: cuil - 25 million google - 22.1 million
# hits for heterosexual: cuil - 4.2 million google - 11.6 million
There is no defined limit, because Comcast is notifying/disconnecting only those in the top 1% of usage for an area/node. So while one person might download 400G a month, as long as there are a number of others downloading MORE, they won't get flagged. That is not to say that in an area where the top consumers are only using 10G that they will get notified.
I hope he has an inhibitor chip in that thing and that it doesn't get fried. But then again, he doesn't have 4 mechanical arms plugged into it, so that's a plus.
What about launchcast? There's no mention of it in the article, but hopefully that's included. It's one of the few things keeping my wife from using firefox.
But does AMD have enough fab capacity to provide the CPUs for such a potentially large volume of CPUs? It's great they're providing this for these countries/areas, but if it takes off, I would think AMD will have supply issues.
"Just after AMD's announcement, AnandTech posted this article to help consumers choose between Intel and AMD."
That's like saying "NBC has just finished a news story about Kerry and his stance on the issues, to help consumers choose between Kerry and Bush".
Or for you high school kids studying for the SATs:
AnandTech:AMD::NBC:Kerry
AnandTech and Tom's Hardware are so AMD-biased, I don't even bother reading them any more, especialy when it's related to the latest AMD or Intel chips.
Since we're all wondering what "revenge" the Sith would be making in this film, why not "Rise of the Sith"? The title makes more sense than Revense of the Sith, and still has the implicit darkness about it. Oh well.
I find at least half of my browsing when initially opening a window is a search, so naturally I have it set to google.com. It also makes using the home button convenient to start a search.
I imagine the majority of the responses will be for search engines or some sort of portal page (be it personal or externally provided ala yahoo/etc).
Exactly. Let's see, if it takes you 5 minutes to shave, that's (24*60)/5 or 288 days worth of shaving to equal what they did in a 24 hour period to the rat.
I imagine the real issue here is the sustained explosure. If they were to expose it to 5 minutes of a 60Hz field once a day for a year, I bet the DNS degredation would be significantly reduced.
According to this link, it ships on 7/14/2004. Could be a stale date, I guess?
You should already have something to test it with.

Ok, so maybe this is a bit troll-ish, but if you've spent the money to buy one of these things, wouldn't you have a target _application_ to run on said platform?
I mean, the only thing you've proven is you can purchase something hot off the assembly line so that it can sit there and do 0 work for you. Don't you have an application or server or _something_ that you intend to use this machine for?
If not, I hope you have some kind of justification for this box for your management in their budget;)
Agreed, the Linksys WET11 is only $100, and has worked great to bridge my xbox to my WLAN.
On the other hand, it's 802.11b only and this xbox adapter does 802.11g, which is nice. But if you currently have b equipment, there's no point in spending $50 more Microsoft's seal of approval.
An exploit _does_ exist, as people have stated already that they've successfully exploited OpenBSD machines.
I personally would like to find it to make sure my patch'd buffer.c in the debian/unstable package worked, until such time that they get that into unstable/testing.
SBC is already doing this. And they are targetting only those affected, which is nice. They've had to do this in response to upstream issues due to all the worm traffic.
Two things. One, if you lost your phone, this would certainly be useful, though I don't know if it's worth the potential Big Brother effect or not.
Second, let's say a mother gives this to their child, and said child loses this phone or leaves it somewhere. How long do you think it'd take the mother to freak out thinking their son/daughter had bit the big one? All they'd see is a stationary phone. And knowing the target audience parents, wouldn't they just freak out and get worried their child had been injured/etc? Some "peace of mind" that is.
If you enabled NTFS read/write support in the Linux kernel, you are to blame. NTFS write support is APTLY labeled 'DANGEROUS'. So most likely you hosed the partition. Congratulations, time to get your backup and do a restore.
Until we hear from Bush, we don't really know what's going on. However, the AP is reporting that this was perhaps the US going after a 'target of opportunity', implying some Iraqi officials were found and targetted. It may not be the full-scale war yet, we'll have to wait and see.

Any intelligent life form that eats farts should be feared. That is all.
Key word there is assume. Hence my question.

If enough of us request this here, perhaps their online techs will spread the word to SBC NOC/management to do so.
