I probably said "What a f****** $random_bad_word_for_different_cars_stickers_plates_etc" a lot more than normal last summer for a few weeks. I saw people driving the wrong way on the road, stopping in the middle of the road, lots of swerving by oncoming traffic, some people walking in the road as if the it wasn't there, and people generally not paying attention more than normal. They had the town ticketing crew blocking one of the lake side train parking lots, and I had to move the cones to get out leading to a conversation with one of them, but I needed to get home it was Friday and I resisted driving my truck over the curb to get out opting to move the cones. Was all good though and laughs and then some complaining about the crowds and how dangerous it was becoming and how some people were robbed.
It only lasted a few weeks but I would love to see something like this drive people out more often, it really got a lot of people in to parks regardless of the increased dangers of lots of people out and about. Better lightning would solve a lot of the danger problems on the road and in parks. LED's are so much more efficient they should put them all over walk-able parks.
Apple has a "secret list" too it seems, I had one case of this with one domain. When I called I explained to normal tech support the issue, they had me escalated where I explained the issue in a bit more detail. Within an hour or two I had a call back from Apple support telling me that the domain had been removed, I didn't pry any more I just figured since they have the right to deny email for whatever reason then have the right to do this. This came after looking over logs, and some packet captures, to make sure it was being delivered to their servers before making the call to Apple. Nothing indicated any type of failure/deferred/blocked from looking at those logs/captures.
Please don't bring the "cloud" into it, it has "clouded" enough minds already. A bunch of computers on various kinds of networks....it is really amazing how they can re-invent and convince so many. I love real new technology, I wish we would invest in that as an industry a bit more.
Covering up the signs for a bit isn't in my opinion that bad...akin to protesting in front of the building. But doing something else detrimental to the business...that would become dangerous to more than the specific parties mentioned and I would regard it as a form of terrorism for profit or not. I think Anonymous wouldn't take it much further than organizing a bigger group to run whatever code they need.
I bet construction workers are sore everyday they work their whole lives. I wonder if it is more the right hand for right handed guys and the left hand for left handed guys.....
somebody pulls the whole archive with a couple of accounts, rars it up and posts it to usenet.
Which is how a lot of people get all of their good reading material cause they are poor and can't afford books.
How does usenet get away with it still? Last I heard there was a case, which I haven't found but haven't really searched for on google, which supposedly protects usenet providers. What case was this etc etc if anyone knows?/crisper
Who really cares if we cannot afford the cost of this program? Space exploration is something that has far reaching aspects as many slashdot readers know. The future for the entire human race is space,if we keep treating earth like we do, and to be the first country to truly reap those benefits is something that has my full support regardless of the cost. Corruption will of course happen with the billions going into these programs and the amount of private companies that contract for NASA but I am _positive_ that the overall cost will be far less than the overall benefit the discoveries found will have on the human race.
I do not like one bit that President Bush was re-elected but I am very happy that President Bush gave us a jumpstart to explore ( and conquer in Bush's mind) space in this century. Or at least before I get too old to go.
I dont think it is only the unliked lonely nerds who play this game. The people who do play this game and become obsessed with it become the unliked lonely nerds!
If you imposed Traffic Shaping on a network like this how would you charge or tell your customer what he gets? You can do traffic shaping on a port level but once you get into application level traffic shaping that looks past the tcp/ip header then you have problems. Even with traffic shaping using ports you can have a lot of problems because people can change any ports that they need to use on either side. A savvy programmer could also make an application that takes all of your traffic and changes the packets so that they look like certain priority applications. Imagine everyone running everything over port 80 this is what would happen. Limiting your bandwidth is something that I dont agree with, but the way that they are limiting the bandwidth seems to be the best that they can do right now.
If we all got off of our asses and bought some good 802.11 HW, we could create quite a large shared wireless network, free from all of the ISP charges etc. People with cable modems could provide bandwidth to a lot of people, and under the service agreements it would be totally legal. A hack of freenet could get things to be anonymous also. I am working on getting 5 people in my local neighborhood to hook up and see how things go. For $200 you can get the wireless adapter and for another $200 or even $100 you can have a firewall/router to the net. We are going to have 5 wireless nets all connected to ther router out to the internet. Once one of the participants gets their cable modem we are going to have two links to use. Even if the wired net goes away, we can still have local wireless nets. If your on Long Island and want to participate or investigate then let me know. The few who have good bandwidth should share it for everyone.
Hopefully Gnutella programmers will get their network working much more efficiently. I can't find anythihng on there even though I know people are hosting the songs.

How can these money hungry lawyers and people sue?? The user is INCONVENIENCED by the software, and on rare occasion has to reinstall, usually the result of an bug in 98 or an untechnical user. If this goes through we all should sue every software company for every single inconvenience their program creates. Not to mention the amount of time and effort that will then be put into software slowing our rapid industry growth. Win98 crashes and screws up its own dial-up networking without any influence from AOL, just cause AOL probably exploits a flaw in 98 doesnt give people the right to sue. What the hell are they actually doing, making me take 5 mins to remove their adapter?? If people want to make money they should earn it, not clog up our legal system with these pointless suits that WILL drag on for years. A boycott would work alot better than a suit. Boycott AOL well all be better off that way./Sean
LINUX IS FREE!! ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE. If RH wants to give them something, they should give them a support engineer onsite for a month. Train some people and then leave. They would be doing a much greater service. Im willing to donate my time to any school that needs help installing Linux. If anyone knows any schools within Boston or surrounding areas that need this help let me know. Sean Sean

I was talking about DISH NETWORK, I just found it
on
Ask Slashdot: The Dish
·
· Score: 1
I just so happened to be at a friends house when the satellite people were there installing the dish. I brought up the question about local access. They said that while they are not allowed to do it under current law, they do it anyway. They say that someone will call within a couple of days and that you should say that you 1) Havent had regular cable for 6 months. 2) Cannot have an antenna because of tree and reception problem and 3) I cant remember the last one. E-mail me if you want to know. The point is to ask the installer when he does it, he will tell you exactly what to say and you can have the local TV stations from your satellite. Oh by the way this was in Bellmore, NY which is on Long Island Regards, Sean
I completely agree with the fact that the End Of Innocence is near. If I was running the RedHat show I would not sue, instead I would seek revenge with a bigger and better trick. Perhaps doing what Netscape and Microsoft were rumored to have done, Netscape developers stuck a big dinosaur on Microsofts campus entrance and Microsoft responded by doing the same type thing. This is good old fashion fun, and usually spurs competition. Too bad that with the advent of big investors all of these fun things will cease to happen. Its the way of the corporate people, ruining all the fun to make a little more money. Just my confusing thoughts, Sean
I dont think there is much difference at all. Dictionary is trying all words and combos on a password over and over, brute force is doing the same except adding numbers and characters. I think they are one in the same.
You know, the people who often write those little tid bits on the web page aren't usually the "security experts". They are most likely marketing people with no in depth understanding of the technology. Would you hold a job as a security consultant writing these things?? I dont think so, so let it be, you cant always be 100% correct, at least they let people know that they are somewhat protected from an attempt to crack their password. Most people do not know the difference between a brute-force attack and a dictionary attack, and they never will, nor will they ever need to, they just want to know they are protected, eve just a little bit
