not really you see IIS runs as administrator and apache runs as nobody/www
getting a root shell through apache is much harder than through iis, though I'll accept it's not a guarantee
MS seem to code from the wrong side of the security fence from admin inwards instead of nobody outwards (if you see what I mean).
plus the fabled tight integration of OS/Web Server/Other Apps makes increases the possible vectors.
This was almost really a bug in Index Server not IIS.
Have all your product from one vendor in a machine set up that's is almost identical in every installation makes things easier.
I run FreeBSD because I get some free security through obscurity. Ideally I'd run somethign like plan9 on my production boxes because then I'd get even more obscurity. Sadly migrating the php dross over to plan9 was too much to tackle to get it to production so I'm stuck with FreeBSD.
If you choose MS products in your important environment then you really get what you deserve.
And I used to be a pro NT guy but 2 years of adminning it on the internet running client websites taught me to have bye bye to Redmond and hello world.
It would be nice to take a different stand here in Europe but with so much US influence we find it difficult to fight the US owned corporations.
The French find it difficult enough to keep their language.
The European Superstate will no doubt crumble and nearly all pretence to be in the interest of European citizens will continue to crumble.
With standard of life being assumed to correlate with GNP we are in an awful spiral of more work less life as our leaders persue the self-destructive path of increased productivity.
Short term politics ensures that short term gains in GNP are the policies enacted upon and not the long sighted welfare of the nation.
And we can blame this on capitalistic thinking and being at the mercy of the futures, currency and stock markets.

the steady shift to "pay as you go" tv

HDTV Over IP
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
TV over IP is probably going to herald Video On Demand and you know what that means : pay as you go TV.
Maybe then though the bandwidth on the TV satellites can be utilised for IP traffic.
There are so many barriers to success though, that although it's a cool tech achievement widespread deployment will probably have to wait for a paradigm shift in the internet infrastructure. All those ISP's have got a lot of investment in their current hardware that the budgets probably project them for at least 5 years use.
My DSL provider (ntl:) is also a cable TV provider. The analogue TV & cable modem comes into my house on the same wire. 50 channels of TV & 1 x 512k data. I don't think that they are going to squeeze 20mbps of data through there too any time soon.
but let's look forward to fibre to the door and then we'll see things happen but probably not for quite a few years yet.
Our kids will probably get it but by then our eyes will be too dim to notice the difference between HDTV and analogue!
i compiled xfree4 yesterday - 10 hours (and it didn't work:( on my p133 laptop.
a 10Ghz cpu would really help voice & handwriting recognition.
besides other intensive apps like compiling, editing video (more in demand than you might think) faster processors mean you can revise your approach to your problems.
Remember when OS's and a lot of apps (such as Windows 3) were written mainly in assembler?
As machines get faster we are able to increase the complexity of the systems we use. As usual it is a double edged sword. There does come a time when we should throw out all of our slow cpu based software and start again. The free unixes are fabulous and I use them every day but I also want them to die. I'm a plan9 user and fan (I had to mention it in somewhere:)
It does amuse me, however, that I use faster and faster computers financed mostly by editing plain text with vi:)
the grapevine tells me (so it could be hopeless tosh) that when UK pigs have nothing better to do they fly over the low rent areas and use the infrared camera's on the chase helicopter to find "glowing" houses. Being the paranoid types that will believe most things, dope growing was generally moved to the cellar in our town. We would here the 'copter flying round at 2am and feel safe in our beds.
Mind you at harvest time you could smell the flowers in the street as they wafter up through the air vents.
The best/worst story I heard was somebody coming home to find the fire brigade dousing their house where their dope crop caught fire in the loft. The poor guy just had to keep walking and leave the mess and whatever was in the house behind him.
Wrong. I can break into my own home as much or as little as I want to. I can smash through my windows, I can break my doors down.
IANAL but I think that smashing up your own home is illegal in the UK.
Hate crimes : I think they are on the statue to make people feel safer, not to serve as a deterrent.
making tools illegal : that's what licences are for. we have gun licences, dangerous animal licences, weapons grade plutonium licences etc. etc. .oO0Oo.
So who hasn't sworn at their hardware / software for being lame and designed to annoy and frustrate users, usually in a lame attempt to gain market by using proprietry crap.
It's been with us since the dawn of hardware
I doubt HP decision makers skim messageboards to see if there are any nice people they can write drivers for.
If someone was calling my company a bunch of "cockmasters" (cool word) I'd want to know why. If they have the attitude "they called us cockmasters so they can fuck off if they think I'll write them a USB driver for a scanner" then they are a bunch of cockmasters.
Linux will stay where it is not because of name calling but because of legacy systems and inertia. .oO0Oo.
maybe it's like the early MS Management Console where if your config got lost you had to type the ip addresses in via a 4 box ip entry widget
cut and paste? forget it
They did introduce backing it up later but it was already too late for my neighbour who spent Friday afternoon all Friday Night and into Saturday morning typing in the 200 ip addresses and Virtual Host Names his IIS was hosting.

Virus' need hosts
Saying "Code Red" was a computer virus is FUD
it's an IIS virus
saying sircam is a computer virus is FUD it's an Outlook virus
saying Melissa is a computer virus is FUD it's an Outlook virus

user then leaves the patio doors open anyway
If I lived somewhere where it rained bullets I'd make sure I installed bullet proof glass.
:)
If the manufacturer told me it was bullet proof I'd probably believe him.
If it subsequently broke when a bullet hit it who's fault is it?
yours probably

are you a total dork?
did you not download the demo?
did you not read anything before buying the game?
what were yuo expecting, an interactive frikkin movie?
jeesh
i don't recall mentioning socialism
in fact i didn't mention _my_ ideas at all
you might want to study the many meaningful civilisations and their means of production/distribution

er how do you monitor the download of chunked data in separate connections available in the ftp, http and napster protocols?
downloads > 10mb make no sense (particularly as thousands of pr0n mpgs are 10Mb (and I know cos I have them here)
read the article once
they did not disable it themselves
and i doubt you needed tachnical savvy to read the memo "employees please note that from next monday all internet access will be monitored"
your opinion is unbelieveably naive
that's fraud and therefore illegal
it's not a Free registration.
the price is a legitimate email address
it's like using fake coins in the newspaper dispenser
