Command and control strikes work well against nation states. YMMV on transnational terror organizations and ideologically motivated guerilla movements. Happy? I am, after all, just astroturfing my domain auction anyway...
I learned some years ago that church goin' Iowa corn farmers will have subscriptions to chickswithdicks.com. You see that, you convince yourself you're not seeing things, and then... well... you learn to not look.
The boredom comment was as much of a dig as the real truth, I'm not joking even a little bit when I say I don't want to know what turns other people on...
Long, long ago, at a now defunct provider, there was this long haired hacker type. This was back when everyone was on dialup in the mid nineties and ISPs still had hubs in their core. He dug a bit into the CuSeeMe protocols and made an 'observer'. There were people running a video stream on that ISP and chat via AOL with a second modem for purposes which I now blush to recall... you can DL 10x worse these days, but it was quite a shock in 1995.
I've owned a couple of ISPs and I currently do service for a regional provider. If I cared to look I could see everything - your best defense is the same reason that you don't get dates - what you do is just not that interesting to anyone else.
I play Civilization II (yes, I am old, deal with it) and the computer players are easily fooled - don't place cities where the best resources are, place them on mountains with resources at their backs and the provoke, provoke, provoke - war costs nothing from a mountain top until armor is developed.
Microsoft has needed a decent command line since Windows 1.0 and they're just getting around to it now? They were OK in begin graphical and sticking to their guns, actually starting to produce something like this is admitting that they screwed up bigtime... a trend like this could in in a text mode Windows that only sucks a little.
Linux needs some desktop competition. No, Microsoft doesn't provide it - I mean they (the distros) need a solid, secure alternative to M$ competitor to get them to focus on what is important. All those different flavors are a function of the English garden development approach, which has done wonders as far as available software, but someone needs to focus on making desktop management real easy, and I don't mean one distro - I mean there needs to be a package management framework that either encompasses or extinguishes the older, less functional stuff like RPM.
If you want to conquer, and I know you do, get thee a system for Linux that will bring me back after five years of ports on FreeBSD, then you'll have something. Mactel might be the catalyst to make this happen.
I grew up in a very rural area (father born in a log cabin, fifteen miles from my home to the nearest stop light, etc) and I'd rather be outside as long as the weather is decent. My ex is a Jewish American princess and her idea of camping out is the Marriott without room service. Funny demographics, eh?
We live in a small metro area (500k people). When my son was old enough to walk a few hundred yards without whining too much I'd take him to a local park. I mean a park, with unmown grass as tall as he was. He whined and whined at first, but he began to enjoy it after the first few trips.
Now that the kids are almost five and eight they can keep up and we go all over - my son will fearlessly dash across a stream on a downed tree, my daughter will go with just a little coaxing, and I don't think a lot of the kids their age get these sorts of experiences - the ones who have parents that grew up in rural areas get them out into nature, the city kids... well... they're really city kids, and it just never crosses their minds.
I pretty much restrain my son from video games and the like - he needs exercise and stuff outdoors - there'll be plenty of time to be cooped up working in front of a computer when he has a career.
C&C attacks are the staple of today's military. An organized, centralized effort should do wonders for laying waste to the economic value (and motivation) behind such behavior.
Theo is a paranoid, perfectionist, peckerhead. I say this in the most kind, loving manner possible, as I've got half a dozen OBSD boxes running on the internet right now, along with many more FreeBSD boxen and a few SuSe Linux machines that I'm learning to love.
BSD and Linux are different animals - on the development side BSD is like an American funeral home lawn - not a blade out of place, while Linux is more of an English garden, with all sorts of wild experiments happening.
I prefer BSD for server work because I like the discipline that exists in both development and maintenance, but I love the steady flow of GPL software that comes from Linux into the FreeBSD ports tree.
Both have an ecological niche to fill... use Theo's software, but don't pay too much attention to the ranting.
I've got two well hidden tats and just a tiny little bit left of one that showed (yay alexandrite laser treatment!). Mostly no one cares, but once I had this job with this real asshat supervisor and it became an issue when it showed, so I had it whacked.

I got a Samsung i500 phone a few weeks back and its my first PDA. It has Palm OS, internet via Sprint's network, and if I could find an ssh client that didn't blow up constantly the machine would be perfect.
There is a light, fast Windows app called Palm Desktop that came with it. This rocks - runs, its quick, doesn't crash, has nice features.
I tried Kpilot and it just doesn't grok i500 yet. I tried Outlook (Outbreak) that came with Office 2000 and it is teh sux0r - what a bloated hog of an application - feels like 1/4th the speed of the Palm Desktop app.
In an ideal world that Evolution Exchange connector thingy I just started playing with will support the i500 and I'll again be free of M$'s evil Fatware, till then its a Thinkpad T22 with burned out video hooked up to my KVM running Win2k with no internet connection for the backup side of my PDA.

FreeBSD 5.4 Review
·
· Score: 1
The ones people pay for are running 4.11, the ones I'm using are running 5.4 and I've had no complaints, but my personal stuff doesn't get driven all that hard.
My biggest gripe was not being able to use 4.x ipf setup on 5.x... turns out they've gotten even more particular on 'keep state' for TCP inspection - got that sorted out and I've been moving forward with it ever since.
I'm not talking 'attack', I'm talking CIO tells V.P. tells director tells engineer "get down there and read all SSL traffic". You know what is in those Cisco IOS images that have the TCP Lawful Intercept feature? I've always wondered...
Don't they already have corporate https proxies? If the man in the middle is The Man in the middle... well... they can do all sorts of stuff. I should read up on this...
This guy is a shill for MSFT/SCOX and he is always floating some poorly thought out stuff that can be distilled down to "MSFT should be able to tax us".
This particular article tries to equate Linux with the union movement of the early twentieth century in an effort to stir up U.S. politicians. Notice the veiled indication that Linux users are a 'terror organization'.
Rob has made some attempts to characterize FOSS as 'communist', when in truth MSFT has a sort of monarchial structure, while FOSS is a deeply democratic meritocracy.
You should create a cron job to download his article 52 times every minute to make sure he doesn't sneak in any changes and be sure to not follow any of his advertising links...
I had the Sprint PCS data service with the Aircard 550. It was 50k - 70k second and it had ridiculous latency issues. I dropped the $80/mo cost, got a Samsung i500 cell phone/PDA, and using it as a CDMA modem is nearly as fast and the latency is much better.
I got an external antenna and pigtail for my aircard but I never used 'em - too disgusted with the service to sink the time into making that stuff go. If you find one you like you can add a small tower, external antenna, etc, and pump up your service at home.
I'm scheduled tomorrow morning 10:30 CST for the mighty Butt Periscope(tm). I wouldn't push mine back even if they had a two week delivery timeframe, but this medical stuff moves *way* too slowly for my taste...
I first implemented IPv6 on a Cisco 7120 with a single FreeBSD 4.0 box as a host behind it - this would have been some time in late 2000. The IPv6 link came from Viagenie and this lasted a few months before I got bored with it.
I tried again last year with a couple of cable modem attached Cisco 17xx and some tunnels from Hurricane Electric. I was at a point where I wanted to do a lot more with IPv6 to get ready for my CCIE exam. HE was relentlessly useless in getting me more than what their tunnel broker system provided so I gave up again.
I tried later last year with BTexact's tunnel broker service and some other routers. Made it run, then started moving offices and lost interest.
I'm at it again - BTexact because they've got the best tunnel broker web interface and they'll give multiple tunnels, Cisco 28xx here, Cisco 17xx at a playful customer's site, and one FreeBSD 5.4 host. My CCIE gets closer and closer so this time its gotta go - web server, DNS, going to put up six total tunnels, then press for a block larger than the default/64 that comes with each tunnel.
Looking at IPv6 from the outside it would appear that someone collected a bunch of people who got kicked out of IETF for mental instability, a number of disgruntled Novell employees who believed that IPX was a gift from an advanced space alien culture, and locked them all in a junior high gymnasium with a goodly supply of blotter acid and two boxes of twinkies. Its the only explanation we have for the results we see today...

Having been to Talkeetna, population 300, it should be noted that its a major outfitter's location, with bush flights coming in and out all the time. Only 300, but a zillion people go through there every year...
1.3 billion is only 20% of total population, it is functionally 31 small countries with one nutty central government, and it is a significant economic force but no more than a regional power militarily speaking and it can't afford to climb higher than that, both financially and politically.
They do, however, have 75% of their currency reserves tied up in U.S. Treasury Bills, so they're footing the current U.S. spending spree.
