We don't have level 4 labs where I work (levels 1-3 only), but we have emergency backup power that kicks in in under 10 seconds. Why on earth would this place not have that?
yeah I hear you. Although when SMP makes into an OpenBSD release I think everyone can be pretty sure it's been debugged well enough. Propolice, etc, may be handy for finding goofy exploitable race conditions (?).
The performance hit of Propolice, etc, is something I just think is "the price you pay". Think of it as a layer 6 & 7 firewall:)
Theo threw a bitch fit over the license of the packet filtering software in OpenBSD and this lead to another "more free" package
"threw a bitch"? Well.. he stuck to his standards; that's an admirable thing. However I can say with a clear conscience that pf is the finest L3 filter I've used. It eats ipf, ipfw, ipchains, etc etc, for breakfast. In fact the only thing the overpriced Cisco PIX has going for it is failover on some of their units.
All that crypto and random goodness doesn't come for free.
True enough, but with a ~US$90[0] Soekris crypto accelerator it's damn close:) Nothing like having a heavily used IPSec tunnel with your CPU being relatively idle.
So are there any plans for Google to use a similar service in Canada?
Works for me:
Postal Code:
R3R 2E2
City:Winnipeg, Manitoba
You have:
13 beer vendors within a 3 km radius.
19 pubs within 4 km.
23 hockey rinks within 6 km.
22 meat markets (for back bacon) within 4 km.
11 skate sharpening huts within 3 km.
Many ISPs and college campuses block P2P ports, BitTorrent included. I'm not sure that 'news' is a compelling enough reason to have many (or any) of them change their policies.
I'm convinced that a promising business venture would be a non-US
ISP which would sell IPSec tunnels to anyone. The termination point
would be outside the US and would preserve privacy.
Well duh. The whole point being if an account is compromised the entire bank isn't susceptible. Online anything presents a risk but I'll stick to the banking theme. When handled properly a bank minimizes the risks of an intrusion and minimizes the damage capable upon an intrusion.
Shit, this is network security 101.
you're an imbecile.
Just call me a nazi so we can end this, you're embarassing yourself.
Why would systems with access to funds be connected directly to
the net? No system with that level of risk should ever be
connected to the net unless there's a damn good reason. Even online
banking webservers are throughouly isolated from the core banking
systems. This is just sheer stupidity.
It'll work well for the first few
months then get tempermental. You'll be getting ready for work when a
sheet of paper prints out saying "You're not wearing that
are you?"
It'll start being non-responsive for a few
consecutive days per month and have the odd spill of red ink on your
important work. Then it'll start to cost you loads of cash in
consumables.
You'll come home to printouts in the tray saying
"You never take me to Best Buy anymore..." Finally, after a hard day
at work, you'll get back to your abode only to find a Post-It note on
the refrigerator saying "Moved out with the iPod, he understands
me."
These sites do have the right to show commercials just as much as we have the right to avoid them.
.. until they start having click-licenses that say "By accessing our site you agree to view ads we jam down your throats".. don't laugh, it will happen.
Remember how the ad companies freaked out over Tivo's commercial skip feature?
Years back I was a starving student working at a paint store. We jugged our own 4L paint thinners from large holding tanks out back. Anyhow, I jugged a few 4L containers of tap water. Then I printed out some nice labels that said "LATEX PAINT THINNER" with the usual comments about adding slowly, stirring well, etc.
Priced them at $3.99/4L and people would actually bring the up to the cashier. We'd tell them there that it was a joke so there was no ripping off done.
Space:1999 was too far fetched. I mean.. a space station on the moon a FULL YEAR before we were able to buy flying cars here on Earth? That's crazy talk!
They already have units that blast the medicine/vaccine through the skin at high pressure. They're mainly used when they have to process a lot of people in a short time.

That was a fascinating poll!
However, for the sake of the journalistic integrity we expect on slashdot, one must ask: did Netcraft confirm it?

your Athlon running at 1.5ghz is not going to start showing up on the worlds Top 100 super computer list.
Nowhere did he say it would. He was making an ad hoc comparison between perceived responsiveness on a machine while alternating operating systems.
"Problem lies between Keyboard and Chair".
At work we say "It was a Layer 8 problem". You can say that in front of non-geeks without them catching on.
Gerald Bull, a Canadian big gun engineer, made large guns and was killed by Israel's Mossad for daring to talk to Iraq about building a "super gun"
If your shotgun can hit something at 70,000 feet I think you may be in for a visit by Mr. Ashcroft & Co.

Maybe his ex-wife was an unsatisfied early user?

then how exactly do they update your bank account?
Online banking allows you to play with your accounts. If it's hacked it's your data they screw with. The entire bank doesn't become a victim.
Your[sic] one of those bozo's that says "I'll never use my credit card online"
I use my card online all the time.
Not to mention a number of "private" networks use the internet as a backbone.
They're called "VPNs". Good luck hacking a properly maintained one anytime soon.
I know exactly what I'm speaking about. Go back to sleep.

No siree.. give me a He-Man HP LaserJet anyday.
His wife's breasts are larger.
I could have saved him some money. She should have just rubbed her breasts with toilet paper, it worked on my ex-wife's ass.
How does this fit in with Canada's new privacy law that came into effect January 1st? Is this a legitimate business purpose?

Heh, semi-related true story.
Years back I was a starving student working at a paint store. We jugged our own 4L paint thinners from large holding tanks out back. Anyhow, I jugged a few 4L containers of tap water.

Ah, yes you're right. I meant that if they were HOPING to be portable then using DX is going about it the wrong way.
I could have sworn that easy portability was a goal of software development.
No longer, my friend.
Perhaps if they stuck to using OpenGL but DirectX has locked them into the PC and Xbox markets.
