Anything that you create that you can use as an weapon can be used against you also so you need to defend against it. You or any person are NOT immune to anything. A good line from the song "Fortress Around Your Heart" from Sting: "I had to stop in my track for fear of walking on the mines I'd laid".
Ditto. Apple has been extremely slow to patch anything and I personally have to resort to using 3rd party and forums to patch Mac OS X Server to some secure level. I think they are concentration too much on the "eye candy" (ie iPhone, iPod, etc) and not putting any effort on the high end system like servers we have. However, I haven't used the my XServer as a primary system (DNS or Mail) but as an file server for Apple, Windows and Linux files. I don't know what is in the mind of the people Infinite Loop but I wish they could keep security which they tout so much in the forefront for all systems.
Killing this "female donkey orifice" will waste a perfectly good and expensive bullet. A 30-06 round cost about 5 dollars and I rather use it on a Happy Meal then wasting this guy with it. Sending him to the same place where we send other terrorist {ie Gitmo) would be good start. Torture him by slowly taking money out of his accounts and selling all of his assets (they have starting to do that today which is interesting) and place him in front of a read only screen where other people can spam him and see all of worth go to zero or negative slowly. Physical torture by using clamps, high voltage and other implements can be used as long it doesn't kill him. I want this to last a lo-ong time for this bastard! Again killing him is too good for him.
Even though it is not as popular as BIND but djbdns doesn't have this vulnerability. Remember Dan J Bernstein had the original idea in 2002 about this issue and Dan Kaminsky and Paul Vixie looked into this and found these vulnerabilities.
Do they investigate systems from out of state? If anyone has sent in Apple laptop in for AppleCare service they send it a repair depot in Houston, TX or Memphis, TN so what if someone in New York sent in a Apple laptop to the Houston, TX depot what will happen? Similar to Dell which has an repair depot in Texas also. A bunch of interesting and scary questions for those who send equipment across state lines for repair.
Murphy's Laws of Combat law number nine: Never Draw Enemy Fire, It Irritates Your Team Mates
This is definitely drawing enemy fire, however your team mates are a bunch of dummies. It is interesting no matter what type environment you are in, drawing enemy fire is a stupid thing to do... unless you are in a test environment where everything is sacrificial. I had one person here, out of curiosity, reply to one spam message and my mail server got an ton of spam in response to that. I discover responding to spam is like starting a chain reaction in a nuclear device and my guess when you reply to on spam message that it goes to evil botnet network that shares your email address to all of them and they in turn send spam/malware/junk back to you. Death to spam and extreme pain to the people who create it. Dying is too good for those people.
I seen this in cars also in which they charge double or more for same part at the luxury car dealer. We have two cars that share common engine platform, Toyota Avalon and Lexus LS300, I go to the Toyota dealership and the oil filter cost about $5 and then I go to the Lexus dealership for same filter the price goes up to $10 or more. I usually buy mine oil filters online by the case so the price for the same oil filter goes down to less than $4 each. Remember these are exactly same part numbers from Toyota (which manufacture both Toyota and Lexus) not "generic" since the Lexus is still under warranty. Apple thinks of themselves as an "luxury" brand so they charge outrageous prices for the same parts. Yes, it is a pity for those who can't update their own system and I really despise Apple for charging such a exorbitant amount for similar upgrades. However on the minds of the leadership, they cater to those who buy the items they sell. If you every look at an Apple is fairly sealed up except for RAM and battery whereas Dell has many access points and doors for replacement of hard drive, RAM, keyboard, battery, and other parts of other models so you can see it is much easier to replace parts on a Dell than a Apple. However Dell has it own problems with people who are not "qualified" to replace parts damage these parts so what was a $100 to replace a hard drive is now a $400 send in to replace the hard drive and logic board since the person damaged the interface during the install.
Ditto. Spammers and other botnet masters will use stolen credit card information to buy these 20 cent domain taste by the millions. Domain tasting is sort of like sample tasting at Costco Wholesale, some people abuse this to a point where they have their entire meal using just these samples.
I've had to do this at my workplace which existed when 9-track reel-to-reel tapes were around. What we discovered that we needed to transfer data from one format to another as new better formats are available. All media types will become obsolete and will degrade over time so what we discovered you will have to migrate your old data from format to another since that old format will become obsolete if we like or not. Also as storage media gets denser and denser we can fit 46 old 100MB per 9-track tapes in one 4.5GB DVD so we can store more data in smaller space and longer lasting. In theory a DVD-R properly stored will last about 20 years but will the equipment that read these will exist in 20 years is another question. In our case of 9-track tapes will readable (stored under the best conditions) but the equipment will not be so we decided that migrating from one format to another is best way to prevent obsolescence of data. We migrated one roomful of 9-track tapes to one box of DVDs several years ago and we are happy for all of space we got back in our off-site storage location.
You need to contact Yahoo! about correcting the old data they have about this IP address because I think Yahoo! may use their own whois data a. Ehh! You should check several third party systems to check if whois data has propagated to all of servers in the world properly. You can use these websites to check: http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp http://www.internic.net/whois.html http://uwhois.com/ http://www.whois.net/ If you see one that is out of sync then you need to contact that registry server/db owner and tell them to update that data. I remember I updated my whois data for my company several months ago and occasionally I find a backwater server that still has the old whois information and depending who they are I'll contact them to update their server/db.
I work at an biotech research and I don't think these "mail in" genetic testing companies are bunch of bovine feces. It takes a huge amount of work to properly run and read all of those sequences. Even with automation, it takes awhile to sort which pieces are relevant. We may have map the human genome but what each those parts of genome does is still being research so you may receive a partial story so you can be treating a wrong problem. In short, we can match DNA sequences but not yet discovered all what they can do yet.
I'm not surprised. This is just another case of normal double standards we all are facing. So many people that make laws, enforce laws, judge laws and preach laws are the biggest hypocrites in which they can break the laws and the "rest of us" must obey the laws. We, the people of the US, need to force these people "eat their own dog food" and no people are above or below the law. Isn't that what we fought the Revolutionary War over?
Your correct one way that this is like "closing the barn doors after the horses are gone" but getting an president on real criminal charges make it stick is another thing. We know that there were two impeachment proceedings, Andrew Johnson and William Clinton but both of them where found not guilty by the senate. Richard Nixon had senate hearings but no impeachment proceedings since he resigned before that. However I would like to live long enough to see the full power of the US Constitution at work to remove a true criminal of both George Bush and Richard Cheney out of office and put them in prison. I would like this to be true for all other conspirators in this "war on terrorism".
Oh great, more junk on my mail server. Someone lobbied the heck out of the FTC to allow more people to spam us. We need to start with an clean sheet so no one in the USA is on any mailing list then opt in to any list one may like. Opting out of every mailing list is nearly impossible since most of the mailing list "we signed up for" were either stolen from legitimate companies or companies that gone bye-bye and people have "acquired" these list. Most spammer may put a "opt-out" link or email address but reality are just another "sign up" for more spam. Also most spam come from other countries where FTC has no jurisdiction. Please FTC, start us with the "clean sheet" method so we can properly opt-in to the mailing we want from legitimate USA companies since already get tons of spam from foreign countries in which you have no control over.
Gee I still remember all of those water cooled main frames I used to worked with and then later those water cooled main frames went away and we had air cool main frames. Now IBM came full circle and introduced water cooling again, in a much smaller scale now. I think water or other high specific heat capacity liquid will help cool the CPU chip so it doesn't destroy itself. In short you want to take the heat generated by the CPU and dissipate it somewhere else and do that cycle again. The physics hasn't changed but how one does it has.
Good luck. I drove one college and even with all of this technology they are not easy to drive. None of them have automatic transmissions and stirring through the gears takes some getting used to. Also the air brakes are not like the hydraulic braking in your car, air brakes don't give you feedback and slamming on the brakes will just jackknife your rig since the load (trailer) will still want to keep moving while you (in the tractor) will want to stop, hence, the ass meeting the face the hard way. For those who like to cut in front of those semi's, it takes over 300 feet to stop an semi under good conditions and a average load so unless you want to be payment sandwich I would think twice. This stuff will not help actually driving (ie shifting gears and steering) the rig but will assist the driver by reducing the workload of monitoring the mechanical systems, where you are going and best way to get there, and keeping within the safety range of the vehicle.
I think if there was an announcement of any serious new product it will at the Apple WWDC in June 9-13, 2008 which will be in little over two weeks. Waiting in a long line for a 1st generation iPhone? No, I'll wait for the next generation (or ever later) that hopefully fixes issues with the 1st generation. Maybe they got the "code blue" like the Coors commerical. http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1519704939&channel=1432843613
This is fun test but not an honest one. I can turn down the AC so the temperature in the room will be around 50 degrees and point the AC duct on the system and it will run longer nearly forever. In order to do an honest test this system should be placed in a controlled environment so you what is real temperature so you can honestly say this test was run a temperature controlled room and it worked.
In the 1980's was just lowly 2nd LT in the Air Force and one of my many duties was to tow targets for AAA crews. This time it was pulling targets for the Sargent York Anti-Aircraft system and during one runs the Sargent York AA system start hitting my F-5 rather the tow target. My F-5 was damaged but was barely airworthy and I got the F-5 on a backup runway near the test site. This was my closest time I ever needed to pull the ejection handle in my life and I was other combat operations after this. I wished I had this self-healing aircraft at that time.
Since contractors has been getting all of the money from the "War on Terrorism" this is the only way that Pentagon could afford "Cisco" routers. Also could be getting these from back of cars and SUV down the street.
The current pain for me is the "Your vehicle warranty has expired..." which is a recorded message and if you are interested you press 1 to get transfer to an telemarketing human. Pity more than half of my "telemarketing" calls are these pre-recorded message so I can't really truly counterscript them. Also they drop the line before I can get any information on them. I would like to send these people to Abu Ghraib or some other gulag.
Copyright cop and big brother in every Zune. M$ wants make sure you have "legal" copy and wants to track what you listen and view on your Zune so they can "market" more stuff to you. Also they can send the officials the music, shows and movies if they "objectionable".

djbdns is not prefect but has been better than BIND which had it large share of bugs and security problems.
