  9. Re:Friction? on FTC Approves Google-DoubleClick Deal · · Score: 1

    I doubt if Mozilla developed the AdBlock addon, rather it was the community. Mozilla can just we built the best extensible browser, and the community are using it their way. Its just beyond us.

    But off course this does not mean the cash hungry Mozilla Inc won't figure a way of blocking this good tool, after all Google nearly own it in terms of source of revenue and delicate nature of the relationship.

  10. They are not done yet... on Skype Encryption Stumps German Police · · Score: 1

    Ziercke said there was a vital need for German law enforcement agencies to have the ability to conduct on-line searches of computer hard drives of suspected terrorists using "Trojan horse" spyware. These searches are especially important in cases where the suspects are aware that their Internet traffic and phone calls may be monitored and choose to store sensitive information directly on their hard drives without emailing it. Spyware computer searches are illegal in Germany, where people are sensitive about police surveillance due to the history of the Nazis' Gestapo secret police and the former East German Stasi. Ziercke said worries were overblown and that on-line searches would need to be conducted only on rare occasions.

  11. Re:Have i missed something? on Half a Million Database Servers 'Have no Firewall' · · Score: 1

    For example, you may have a stand-alone java app at multiple locations that can query the database directly, so you'd definitely open up the port.
    True that.

    After all you still have to supply a username and password, connect via ssl, and you can change the default port and passwords, you can restrict IPs that connect to you machine on the card.

    The point is you don't need a fully fledged firewall to protect the db server
