noscript is a wonderful addition to the FF repitiore of protection. It prevents the execution of "goodies" like javascript. There's a nice little bar at the bottom of the page when it's blocking a (or many) scripts. You can click on the little S on the right and enable one or more sites that are trying to run scripts. It will then re-load the page with those scripts enabled. I, for one, leave things like google-analytics disabled at all times. Unless I'm using a site a lot (like my bank), I only temporarily enable a site. And sometimes I don't enable at all. If it tries to "improve the quality of my browsing experience" I usually improve it by going elsewhere.
ISS (erh, IBM ISS) has a group called the X-Force (when I worked there, I always hated that name). One of the things they do is to look for vulns. They also sell consulting. Is that a conflict of interest? I never thought so while I was there. And I don't now.
Tons? By which you mean one? Which has been fixed. Meanwhile, MS continues to deny the existence of a problem. They are equally in denial of a number of other issues.
FF, when a vuln is identified, is patched very quickly, sometimes in a number of hours. IE, when a vuln is admitted to, is patched, at best, once a month. Which is the better system?
You are permitted to love IE, but please don't claim it's a superior product because of some perceived advantage that doesn't really exist. It's called delusional and in the end it can only harm you. Every piece of software has problems. The only issue is how quickly and effectively those problems are fixed.
Snort your outbound traffic. Not something the naive user can do, but anyone reading and posting to/. probably won't class as "naive".
But if you're not naive, you're probably running several different protection schemes. As much as I hate it, ZA Pro will do a good job of detecting and blocking most outbound traffic that you don't want to get out. AdAwatch does a pretty good job of preventing software from installing. It even makes it a real PITA to do things like upgrade Acrobat. Or Windows.
But if you really want to know for sure, re-image your system from time to time. Or install something like PC Vive (www.pcvive.com) on your clean system.
My sister lives in Tyler, where many of these IP suits have been filed. I've informed her that under no circumstances is she to tell anyone at voir dire that her brother and sister-in-law hold almost 20 patents, copyrights and trademarks between them unless she is specifically and explicitly asked. Never volunteer information under oath.
You can get a pulmonary embolism in 5 feet of water if you do it right (wrong?) It actually takes a lot of work to get bent. There are a number of barotrauma disorders. Most of them occur in the first 20 feet of water.
I've been diving for over 20 years and teaching for over 10. One of the things I do for my advanced class on the deep dive is to fill a balloon to about 1/3 capacity at 100 feet and another to 2/3. Neither survives the ascent. The tennis balls crush, the hot and shaken soda doesn't fizz. And interestingly enough, it takes three or four times as long to solve simple puzzles, like opening combination locks.
SR71 crew wore full up "space suits". At 100,000 feet, water at body temperature doesn't really boil, it sublimates, both boiling and freezing at the same time.
However, eBay considers the close of the auction to signify a contractual obligation has occurred. As a seller and a buyer, you agree to this condition when you sign up. You read your T's & C's, right?
I believe that society has agreed that only qualified persons may dispense prescription medications, that only qualified persons may write those prescriptions. In this case, he was neither but did both.
My wife is allergic to Vicodin, but didn't know it's hydrocodone. My pharmacist knows this and would never fill a prescription for it for her. Of course her doctors all know this, so they wouldn't write one for her. This asswipe knew neither.
Of course, I'd hang him simply for being a spammer.
The real downside is that the inside addresses are still going to be IPV4. Of course, with 4to6, everything internal effectively becomes a private network, so this may not be an issue. But man oh man, that would become a huge NATing issue. This would also screw up things like home based web servers with real domain names. See www.oakhillweather.com. It's served up by a neighbor. I think he uses a dynamic DNS server. But if you have a fixed IP address (all RR commercial accounts) you could be screwed.
Not so much as as a supercomputer. They were classified as a munition and export controlled by ITARS. Funny thing is, Motorola was fabbing them overseas. I did sysadmin for the design for test group.
Of course, encryption was once controlled by ITARS. I have the "this t-shirt is a munition" and the code to do the actual encryption. Along with pictures of me wearing it around the world.
I love mine. I've been using it for about 4 years now. No problems with joint pain, it works very well on the small side pad on my keyboard drawer and, for me at least, it points very well.
The best part is watching other people try to use it.
Never mind kiddie porn (a specious example, at best). The Feebs are also tasked with domestic spying and enforcement of Federal laws. So they install a copy on Abdullah's machine. Or Vladamir's. Or Vitorio's. But it gets caught (they're all smart enough to run a spyware checker from a non US vendor). Now they have "the perfect tool". Sooner or later this is going to happen.
Alternatively, you make the President's enemies list (any President, now or future). So they install a trojan from any source URI, doesn't have to be anything nastier than a new site to send free e-cards from. Next thing you know, the Feebs are kicking down your door and finding all the kiddie porn "you" downloaded, along with all the traces of kiddie porn "you" uploaded to your friends, all of whom also get busted.
Not that I'm paranoid or anything, although I haven't taken my meds in a few days.
If Web 2.0 is the great thing, I'm waiting for 2.1. Never buy a dot zero product.
Huge housing boom, about to crater very big. Makes the collapse of the late 80s look like nothing. Huge internet boom, about to crater very big. Makes the collapse of 2001 look like nothing. But I learned my lesson. My HP stock is back to about where it was in 1999. My Agilent stock is about 60%. My firstbuy.com stock makes for pretty wallpaper (but at least it covered some capital gains). My Netrix stock is worthless, and I don't even have the paper to hang on the wall. And it was in my IRA. This time around we didn't buy into any of that crap.
I misconfigured my catchall on one of my domains and received about 500 bounces in a matter of 5 or 6 minutes. All from fake names in my domain. I'm pissed enough when one of my real names gets forged, so these fake names steamed me. I checked all of my domains after that.
If the true goal is to go after the spammers, how does a DNSBL help this? You aren't going after the spammers, you're blocking the spam.
I send out emails to about 300 members of my professional association. I get bounces saying some have been blocked by blacklist, but don't say who. How am I supposed to get off the blacklist? We never get an email from any blacklister.
If we ever get blacklisted by SORBS or any other extortionist and they ask for money, we'll probably sue and/or file a criminal complaint.
Penelope is going on on her own. But for how long, I don't know. I'm staying with Eudora for at least a while. Last time I looked at Penelope, it wasn't up to my standards.
Good point. I was thinking trademarks (which I hold) when I was talking copyright/patent (which I also hold).
Of course, some homegrown OS maker in, say, China, could always complain that MS was dumping by letting the software be pirated, or even sold for less than the world market (WTF that means). But IANAL, I just pay a very expensive one.
Here's my take. If they fail to vigorously defend their IP, their rights to it could be suspended altogether. It could be reasonably argued that they have abandoned those rights. And just who might do that? Any governments we can think of? Say a third of the world's population?
And what ever happened to the PRC's Red Flag?
The first time I saw this printed on the referenced site, I thought you were full of bullshit. But now I realize that you're just yanking our chains.
You are, aren't you? Otherwise you need to go see your doctor. Those meds aren't working.
WHAT A CROCK! And I suppose this will also enlarge my penis.
You make the claim that it's "shown to be up to 1000 times more effective". Cites, please.
And don't go trotting out the supposed study from Johns Hopkins. That's an urban legend that they have been trying to kill for a while.

Please tell me there's no gratuitous nudity. Or at least not her's.
Oh god, I just thought about it and I'm blind. And that's my lunch all over the keyboard.
I think they said Inmarsat. The cruise lines use this system, and last time I checked I got between 192k and 384k down and about 96k up. Carnival and Royal Caribbean both charge between $.55 and $.65 a minute, depending on what package you buy.
Latency was somewhat of an issue. I never saw more than about 8-10 people in the internet cafe at any one time.
I'm willing to bet they do port blocking so that stuff like Skype and other VoIP applications don't get out. That's one way to save bandwidth. They better not block 25 and 110.

Two words. Jury nullification. It's possibly unethical, but it happens. http://www.caught.net/juror.htm for starters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification for definition Google (or whatever) "jury nullification" If the law is wrong and a one sided judiciary won't overturn it, it's up to the jurors.

I spent 15 years working on VAX/VMS. Apparently it was good enough for the NSA. One version got A1. Apollo was pretty good, too.
