Planes can take territory, but they can't HOLD territory, hence the requirement for Infantry and other ground pounders to go in and sit in the mud.
Well, planes can damage shipping, but they can't stop shipping. Sometimes, you just need to park a big steel hull of ten on a Sea Line Of Communication and start sinking transports.
And lets face it, that Aegis crusier or three in your convoy is going to pretty much prevent bombers from touching you. 4 million watts of RF energy means never having to say 'I'm sorry.'
Step 1: Download patch.
Step 2: load onto test box. Start tests.
Step 3: Works great. Create SMS package.
Step 4: Schedule SMS to install the package Saturday at, oh, say three PM.
Step 5: Send out yet another email reminding users that if they don't leave their computers on over the weekend, the full virus scan, software updates and disk defrag that would have run, will infact run on Monday when they come in, and it will NOT be stopped, and their managers know this, even if they don't.
Step 6: Profit!
Well, I'm saying it's both. UNIX was specifically designed NOT to be secure, in a manner of speaking; it was a 'casterated' version of MULTICS, which WAS, as I recall, designed to be quite secure.
what R U talking about? R U trying 2 say something to me?!?!?!?!?!?
Christ, I know what you mean. I don't understand the purpose behind public education these days; my daughter, who is four, and is in junior kindergarten, reads at what they regard as a second grade level. Why? We gave her books and read to her when she was younger. Unlike the kids who still get pacifiers.....
Hmmm, my opening example is SO BAD that it's tripping the lameness filter, so I'll have to edit it down a bit.
I should point out that I'm not referring to Math specifically; I believe the course was actually statistics.
Take, for a really basic example, the difference between understanding that the Pythagorian Therom will give you the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle, given the length of the other two sides, and remembering that the actual formula is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. I'll be the first to admit that this might not hold as you move further along the complexity axis, but it tells you where I'm coming from.
It just goes to show that STATIC content does NOT need to be served from a DATABASE.
Generate the pages from a database, sure. Only makes sense. STORAGE. But NOT for EVERY BLOODY PAGE VIEW. At least, not unless you're going to spend for the hardware to do it.
I'm calm now, I swear.
As one of my teachers told me, in college, 'lets face it. In real life, if you don't know the answer, you're going to either look it up, or ask somebody. So, on the tests, bring in your text books, go nuts. But the tests WILL be such that if you don't know the underlying theory, you're screwed.'
And he did it, too. He'd structure some of the questions such that they looked like english wordings of the equasions, but he'd alter something. He'd go ahead and square root something that the forumla is supposed to, so if you plug it in, you'll square root it again, and fuck up. It was great.
Just to set the record straight -- UNIX was written by academics who felt they could trust everyone on their network and didn't have any need for namby-pamby coding practices like checking your return values and limited the size of inputs. It took years and years to fix this (and it ain't done yet).
Exactly. We'll see how secure NT is in twenty years, which is about how long UNIX has been having it's holes fixed.
That reminds me, how did I EVER forget about sendmail? The vaunted MTA that you could exploit merely by typing 'debug' or 'wizard' at an SMTP prompt? Folks, let he who is without sin cast the first stone. That excludes ANYBODY using a UNIX or UNIX-like. If your OS even has a concept of ROOT, it ain't secure.
No, actually, it's just that all the holes in the commercial unixes were found ten years ago. But LORD were there a lot of them; X, rpc, lpr, bind, httpd, ftpd, rlogin, telnet, statd, fingerd, the list goes on and on and on.
Face it, the system fell apart as soon as there was the concept of the 'professional politician.'
What there needs to be is a clause that nobody can spend more than ten years in (elected/appointed? Still need civil servants, possibly) gov't service, and must have a recognized public sector trade or job. That would guarentee 'citizen legislators.'
Or, as Douglas Adams (more or less) puts it, 'by definition, anybody who actually wants to be President is automatically the person least suited for it.'
A lot of DVD players nowadays are marketed as being able to play MP3s off of CD-Rs and CD-RWs, as is. I'm not sure of the specifics, having never used one meself; if it puts of a menu of them, or just starts playing, or what.
They said the same thing a year or so ago with NUON. Oh, NUON enhanced players are going to rock your world. NUON enhanced players are going to revolutionize DVDs. NUON enhanced players will get you chicks.
I see this as more 'Nowadays, you can buy a DVD player that will play a CD full of MP3s. Now, it'll also play a CD full of whatever WMP spits out.'

Good Christ.. they say that survival mode has you KILL 100 people as fast as you can. While this is partly true, it's also PARTLY WRONG. The Street Fighter titles, unlike Mortal Kombat, work on the premise that you're knocking your opponent out (hence the KO when you defeat an opponent-- what the hell did they think KO stood for?!). Sure, during gameplay it no longer says KO between the energy/life/power meters, but that's an issue with screen real-estate; the timer couldn't go in it's original location on such a small screen.
I remember a site that lambasted South Park's movie when it came out, I can't find the link now but it's just evil-- not the movie, the site, for trying to tell people that a movie which to most adults is harmless is just so "evil" and likely to corrupt little children and impressionable adults.. blech. I hate these kooks.
I think you're referring to CAPalert, trying to save your soul from Satan, but were they to apply their own review process to their own Bible, would deem it unsuitable for human consumption.
Not so. During the fight with the T1000, one of Arnie's arms gets ripped off in a large gear like piece of machinery. They never bothered to recover it.
At that point, why not use an external breakout box? There's lots that fit in a standard drive bay.
Besides, I've got a DVD-ROM and a CD-RW drive. Start getting those external, and it starts to get a bit expensive, as well as easier to knock over when the kids are running around.
Yeah, I used scanmail for exchange myself. My point is that the people who write your paycheques can be impervious to such trivialities like 'logic' and 'reason.'
As far as a) goes, MS email server/client architecture out of the box creates these sort of disasters. It is only with 3rd party addons / a non-default configuration that these things get fixed.
Yeah. Lord knows that a good sendmail out-of-the-box install will stop these attachments dead in their tracks.

There's a reason I still use my Aureal 2 card.

Have ye tried reading the readme and following all the helpful suggestions?
ADSI Scripting For System Administration should give you a starting point.

Then your various removable media drives are facing the wrong direction.

Or use a managed antivirus software whereby the server component grabs the virus defs, and punts them down to the clients.
