John has missed big time here. Hist statement: "But you can't blame Scientology for this mess. This is a Hollywood disaster." is absolutely incorrect.
L. Ron Hubbard's will has transfered all of his intellectual property to the scientologists. So what we see and what we get has been approved by the sect and a big share of the proceedings is going to the sci pockets. It will be a very cold day in hell when I go and see it. It is not an organization I sponsor.
This is the American Dream, and is quickly becoming a worldwide dream as well
You are wrong. Europe has been there and has seen it. And you know what, shops that specialize in "Brand Names Only" actually go bankrupt lately. People have been through the branding epidemia in EU in the 80-ties and have had enough. They are not paying +20% for the brand name. Any more.
Just in this case America has picked it up a few years after EU
Do not shift and do not increment integers for cycles unless necessary (perl integer math sucks and shift loads the garbage collector). Foreach is faster.
Do not compare and substr, regexp is faster. If anything can be formulated as a regexp, regexp it. That what perl is good at. Have fun.
They copied the approach of their tentative witness for the tentative Blah that Judge Jackson did not allow. This approach is (C) Compaq. Big Q has been doing this for god knows how long. A few hundred megs of the disk on all Q laptops and many desktops is and has been a Q-only Win install for more than 2 years. It is simply an INNOVATION. The well known type of one.
As someone during the remedy proceedings stated this is practically creating two monopolies plus giving others chance to compete against them. Sorry cannot provide an exact quote.
He did not hijack anyone's box. Can you spell the words OPen Relay. Summary:
I am happy that someone is being sued for spamming with a forged address
It is a pity that such a jolly event is caused by the fact that someone is suing for damages caused by the need of its own the IT department to be shafted with a sharp cluestick. You do not run an open relay nowdays unpunished.
Agree 100%. Read Irving Stone's "men to match my Mountains" as it is one of the few easily accessible non-censored prints of Utah history.
For me the more intresting part here is how did the school principals actually read it. The pages contained some s-words and in Utah the filterware in public schools is abolutely obligatory.
This is indicative of the benchmarks. All these benches are either Winhoze luser performance (whatever that means) and/or Winhoze gamez performance (whatever that means).
There is no real benchmark data: no lmbench (context switching, etc), no linpack (real FPU), no database benchmarks, etc.
Nada. None...
So what quite a lot of slash readers are interested in - namely how does this beast shovel pages under linux, BSD, Slowarix or even NT is not present. So I guess you will have to buy a cat in a bag.
Who is the retarded f... idiot who moded this down. It is funny. And it does make sense. If all slashdot was on topic nobody would have read it as it would have been boring as hell...
See previous discussions on censorware. If you know the Wild Wild Web good enough you will immediately notice that censorware is not just wrong. It is technically unachievable and most companies trying to do it need a very heavy clue stick. Or are doing it for The Kids^H^H^H^HMoney only. Most if not all censorware packages vary between lame and ultra lame as both network knowledge, protocol knowledge and programming.
So tightly integrating a firewall package with software that is known to be lame by design is plain stupid. So is overfeaturing a firewall toolkit anyway. Simpler the better.
Also, I have personal doubts against the original article anyway. And they are:
Gauntlet has always been manufactured by a founder and promoter of the key escrow abomination
It has previous bad record. See BUGTRAQ archive. So I would not call it the most secure...
Quite coherent. Especially for John

As the subj says it is quite good. But I think that John overempahsizes the extent to which the net is america and america is the net. Yeah, I know US is not the only champion in stupid legislation. But net is not US and even more importantly US is not the net.
Quite a lot of the stuff happening is not the net but the society slashing back after having enough of reactionary gerontocracies like Iron Maggie, Andropov and Reagan. It is normal for people to become more sane and no longer bring american flags in cinemas and wave them when Rocky IV kicks the butt of a russian or vice versa (when the russian "hero" kicks the but of some american or when 007 kicks 'em all). The world has gone more complex and respectively the society has gone more relaxed as the old laws have trouble operating in the more complex world.
if you only require service availability (but not session availability).
I have to remind you - you do not use physicals. Apache listens on loopback only. So the client retransmits, it goes via the other interface and you have no problem. Session is alive.
talk to (resp. across) a small set of routers (or routing protocol using hosts).
Correct. You talk to two routers or just differnt ifaces on one that connect you to the backbone (via different layer 2 devices - switches or hubs). And from there on with the entire internet.
In a similar internal corporate scenario you talk to the routers or the RSM on the switch that separate the servers from the lusers.
I can give you a number of examples where it won't work at all.
Yeah, sure. I have seen gazillion of b0rken network designs written by experts. Most of them with a minesweeper and/or solar sertificate. I am not beeing biased but core networking is not a subject in neither of these sertifications. Officially core network support in Slowarez is considered with a "to be or not to be" status in Sol 8. Check the zebra archive for details. With minesweepers it is not even considered.
You don't happen to post in certain de newgroups... ? This somehow sounds... familiar
No. Never used news. But I am not the only BOFH around.
I could give you a detailed rant style answer but I think it is not worth it.
Most root DNS servers, primary mail relays, etc use exactly what I said. And there is no such thing as what you said. Been there done, that.
Please get a clue.
Solutions using routing protocols cause serious trouble if and only if designed and ipmplemented by Minesweeper Consultants and Solitaire Experts.

Linux Failover?

Very good approach.
The problem is that a bunch of carma w** who are out of their scope have immediately flooded the article with comments about piraniah, clusters and other irrelevant things. The question is about failover in case of link failure. The consulatnat thought of winhoze and chose layer 2. You have a unix system. Unix knows about routing and IP. Hence what you need is a layer 3 solution. For example:

Linux Failover?

Very good besides the fact that Layer2 failover has always been less reliable than layer3. If layer2 was better the internet core would not use OSPF and BGP.
Shoot your consultant. With a big gun. Only an idiot will suggest a layer 2 failover for a unix system.
1. Your consultant should learn routing protocols
2. Your consultant should learn the concept of a loopback alias.
3. Your consulatnt should have an IQ of above 25
4. There is absolutely no need for link layer 2 failover where layer 3 will do. Unix is not WinHoze. It knows about routing.
So your task list is:
Configure loopback aliases on the linux boxes.
Configure apache to listen only the loopback alias interface.
Build gated from rhat sources they have the patches for linux-2.2 in already. You may use zebra CVS instead but it is still a bit off in terms of stability. You may need a script that HUPs it a few times gated as gated does not always start clean and update the routing table on 2.2.x.
Configure ospf on gated and on your cisco gear. Distribute default into OSPF as gated from the 3.5.x tree has no IRDP.
Minor difference once downloaded onto my computer. With any junk busting feature (either mozilla or external) you are actually not downloading them. So the site does not get any money... I personally think that this is a bad thing (TM). Unfortunately there as usually is no way to win, no way to break even and even no way to quite the game here because:
Almost all web advertising agencies have a reputation of blatant privacy violators... So in order to donload let's say first 5 bytes so that the site gets some money you have already lost your privacy...
If I had that option (without having my address immediately correlated, bought and sold I would have immediately started to download the first byte from ads on userfriendly. Now I simply dump 'em...
Dunno... Just some thoughts... From the internet furnace...
The virus did have some identity info - a comment and an email address. But they are not legal proof by any means.
Legal proof may be obtained from the person's machine, though one may argue it has not been hacked as well.
Just the fact that the virus list four different accounts at a phlippines ISP as sources for the additional payload and all of these are different from the account in the comments will make me highly suspicious.
Anyway, we will see. Though I have the gut feeling that someone will be convicted to a very high term on the basis of circumstantial or no evidence. Just another case of a witch hunt...

MySQL has no stored procedures. Absolute lie. It can load.so objects and has a known api. Yes you cannot do a macro define and store it. You can do something that is better - place a code on the server to do the job
MySQL only has table-level locking. I am getting sick of shouting. Mysql has arbitrary string locking, has had it for years, it even has non-blocking mode (you can stall on such lock or wait an arbitrary number of seconds). Go RTFM
