AHEM. I hope they are the same and they get some extra time in the Gaol. It is the third most annoying advert after the thickness and the friday entertainment.
In the first months of rabid paranoya after 9/11 used to work.
Just a nice little anonymous rat on the doj antiterrorism web site that this individual is commiting fraud in order to subsidize terrorism. And the spammer quickly disappears into the night and fog.
I have noticed that as well.
In the early eighties I needed to use suncream in the summer and had a few cases of vicious sunburns when I did not. Nowdays I no longer need it unless I go as far south as the tropics.
Another thing I have noticed is that unfortunately all these studies do not give you a distribution across the visible, near UV and near IR spectrum. They are a sum of all. If there was distribution data the actual reason would have been much easier to pinpoint. For example a flat decrease/increase will point to particles. A decrease in near IR will point to water and CO2. A decrease in UV will point to excessive ozone in the low atmosphere (which is something that has happened as a result of polution in Europe). So on, so forth.
So met offices need to start putting some filters in front of these black disks.
In btw, when I have observed 2 petrol strikes/blocades in the last 10 years around Europe. During both the traffic nearly stopped and there were less then 5% of the usual vehicles on the roads. During both it was fairly obvious that the sun shined much stronger then usual (not pointing any fingers here...).
It is a standard PSU. Usually used in the ITX world. Actual consumptionis likely to be lower. While at it you can make the same system from standard components at LinItx.com (using Via instead of Crusoe) for a fraction of the cost.
The analysis is written by yet another clueless fuck claiming to be a security or a network professional.
You get.12 and.13 adjacent on cheap low end bozo hosting.
In real life they may be in different corners of the globe, because in real high end network installations people use loopback addresses and you never ever see the actual physicals. They may even be on martian networks (and usually are) that are uplinks to a firewall or load balancer which quite often does forwarding with no increment of TTL so that people do not know that it is there.
So the fact that ftp.sco.com is accessible while www is not does not mean a thing.
Same goes for SYN cookies and SYN floods. The part of the attack that brings the target machine down is now well mitigated and most systems are not vulnerable to it. This still leaves the service part. The bad thing about SYN floods is that in order not to go down the target site has to discard SYNs. This is usually done by rate limiting them. Once SYNs have been rate limited, a sufficiently thick flood of SYNs from random addresses will render the site unresponsive and inaccessible, no matter what patches have been applied, because for every legit SYN you will have up to hundreds of non-legit ones.
Note that I am not defending SCO.
I am simply sick of "security" and "network reliability" cretinoids that continue to make claims based solely on IP addressing. This claims are invalid, void and outright stupid.
Well, that is what I fscking said when the initial story came out. RBC has god knows how many zeroes in IBM and linux companies. It is obliged to hedge and 50 m is pocket money compared to the money it has on the other side.
You will need an ICBM version and Putin's agreement to let it through and not pay you back in the same currency with interest.
Jokes aside, while not being compromised myself I have gone through a similar process investigating distributed server farms on cable and DSL serving counterfeit software (once again advertised by SPAM). In all cases the final step ended up being somewhere in Russia at least 600km from of Moscow.
The method of intrusion is different though. In all cases it is windows software. Common examples are the one which copies DVDs to CDs (with all offers seen over the last 2 months being a trojan). Basically this, along with several similar common SPAM sucker gatherers is used for guess what - to gather suckers. The software actually works, but it contains a fairly sofisticated remote access trojan.
This has recently been extented to include sucker gatherers introduced in counterfeit branded software. Basically, you pay 39$ for a counterfeit Win XP pro at "OEM Clearance Sales" and get a Win XP pro with a "surprise".
Servers are all over the world, mostly on cable networks (strangely enough very few DSL ones). DNS (which is the weakest link) is run by known "questionable" marketing hosting sites usually in the US.
With the number of suckers around trying to copy DVDs onto CDs frankly I do not see a reason for all the effort into hacking sites with vulnerable lame PHP software. So I guess these were some "new kids on the block"
Well... It is hell for the narrow profile specialist. For a generalist or an adaptable specialist it is not that bad. That is what people do to avoid this and after you have been in 3 jobs in three different parts of the industry you will find the life much easier. Basically, you are putting too much emphasis on specific domain knowledge. Domain knowledge can be outsourced and blocked by non-compete. General skill levels like programming languages, most design methodologies, algorithms, etc cannot (at least to the point when you become unhireable as you claim to be).
If you are really installing a lot on modern machines you may find it much easier to install over the network and build a set of kernel packages with updated drivers. Works a treat.
You are speaking complete and utter bulshit. The british health system is not going to change within the next few centuries. Do you trully expect them to roll out a change like this when it takes 6 months to see a doctor for a sore throat and you get 3 letters asking you "Have you died yet?" Do you trully expect this from a systems where the doctors never come to see a sick child until he/she stops breathing, and even then send ambulance with paramedics (I am speaking from personal experience here and I can continue examples ad naseum).
All they are doing is yet another BLIARlike behavior done by yet another BLIAR wannabe. A bit of SPIN here and there to demonstrate that they are doing something wilst doing nothing and wasting a boatload of public money.
That is besides the fact that most of NHS IT is run by bastions of MSFT like Capita and similar outfits. Even if the minister in question has had an intention for this trial to succeed they will fail it.
IBM was extremely precise on what specificity means. By granting the motion, the judge also agreed to their definition of specificity. By bulshittin they will contempt the court and this is not a wise thing to do. Not that MSFT did not do that for several years for example.
If the recent RamBus vs Infineon case is to be viewed as a precedent this generally entitles the judge to dimiss a number of claims and instruct the jury to ignore specific evidence presneted by the plaintif. Basically, SCO will be still allowed to fight, but the judge will decide should it have a hand, a leg or even all of its tentacles tied behind their back to a nice big concrete block.
Ahem. I have seen this in at least several countries. Intentional leaks including leaks by authorized MSFT staff (on payroll). No persecution, nothing until the market penetration hits 90+% and Novell, Oracle, IBM and other companies stupid enough to ask money for software disappear into oblivion. And then comes Billy Boy to talk with the PM and starts tightenting the bolts. In three years the country is paying the standard MSFT rate and it cannot switch because there is no personnel trained in alternatives and there is no money for alternatives because all IT software budget money goes to MSFT. There is simply no free money around on the IT budgets for any conversions.
Speaking as someone who has done evaluation of both for the pirposes of an embedded AP lately I can say that you need a serious clue transfusion.
NetBSD does not:
1. Have the/bin/sbin, etc linked versus shared libs. These are statically linked so you are either forced to use bloody busybox (and run into GPL again) or use 4 times the flash size for the boot system
2. Does not have CRAMFS or any analogue of it. As a result you either have to load compressed images into RAMDISK and use 4 times the memory or use once again 4 times the flash.
3. Rumours of hardware support are also generally unjustified. Yes it supports a boatload of CPUs. At the same time it does not support PCMCIA (and even PCI) on most embedded platforms. Alchemy is a good example. Support for many peripherals of interest to an embedded developer - high speed serial chips, encoder/decoders, wireless, bluetooth is also sporadic and limited to only some platforms.
The only really off-the-shelf embedded feature I can think of is that BSD (both Net and Free) have a good mode of operation for RO root filesystem (uncompressing a cpio.gz on top to make a unique config).
This is about the only advantage for the time being. And it took me 30 minutes to port it to Debian. Which in fact with all relevant server daemons can fit in 24M of flash without busybox if repackahged properly. If you strip it to a single purpose image you can go as low as 16M. So in fact you do not need busybox and you can run an embedded platform with Linux without busybox. The only thing busybox helps is to bring it down from 16M to 4M which is mostly irrelevant for anything less then 100000 units.
1. Automatically switch on/off lights. Citroen C5, C8 and BMW 6 series. Possibly others.
2. Automatically switch on/off wipers and control wipers frequency. C5 at least.
3. Automatically retune suspension pressure and do autolevelling and compensation in sharp turns. C5 at least.
These are features I personally do not like being entrusted to anything but dedicated simple feedback systems with manual override. The last thing you want is the car to flip in the wrong direction when taking a sharp turn at 40mph on a wet mountain road (example taken out of a C5 commercial)
Er... Not German engineer... Most of BMW electronics on current cars have been designed in the foggy Albion... To be most exact in one specific block on the Science Park in Cambridge. And almost all of the software has been written there. I will intentionally restrain from any remarks on its quality. Just because...
They do. At least one car maker nowdays has a specific selling point in the fact that you can program the ECU to understand additional keys in the field and ALL maintenance operations (even cambelt changes) are fully described and listed in the car manual. That is besides strictly adhering to ISO and any other standard applicable in every single component they can. In btw - as a result they make bloody good cars. Possibly the best petrol ones. All better ones are diesel (and german or french).
FIAT: no longer supports ISO standard and stereo is welded in. So if you want a CD with your Punto you should be so kind to pay for alloys and leather seats please so that your CD comes up to be only around 700 dollars.
GM: New Corsas have the CD also built into the dashboard.
So son on so forth... There are quite a few of them now days.
Anyway the funniest thing about windows in cars was an ad on UK TV networks about "Four Onboard Computers reBOOTED". You may laugh or cry, but this was an ad for the new C5 estate which in fact has 4 (!) onboard computers running WinCE. Why 4 - kill me if I know, but the fact that you have to reboot a car was not just considered normal. It was considered an advantage by the relevant marketing cretinoignoramus.
That is not entirely correct. Well if it was the coordinates for all russian 100MT watrheads would not have been guess where: 30-40 miles off the shore of California and New England. There were not many of those manufactured. Just enough to deliver the necessary effect - a nice cute tidal wave of 3-4 meters above the high tide mark.
There is a general rule of thumb that the smaller the animal is, the shorter its life span is. Most animals the size of a red sea urchin leave under 10 years. So 200 years for an animal that size is something like 2000+ years for a primate. Which is a hell of a lot.
Slashdot Mirror
This is intentional. Your disgust increases the chance that:
You remember when you are less unfortunate
You break a dinner conversation to express your disgust and focus the attention of someone who already is.
So it is calculated and intended.
