Nope. Because the cyveillence bot doesn't announce itself. It masks its user-agent.
You need to block it's IP
Uh huh, and did you see my rule mention HTTP_USER_AGENT anywhere in it? No. Look at what you wrote--the only difference between your rule and mine is that you followed my advice and used an IP address range instead of the host name.
Well, what's to stop them from planting something either inside the machine itself or around it? It's still possible to pick up the electromagnetic emanations (a la TEMPEST) from the keyboard. And of course there's always Van Eck phreaking. A laptop is really one of the best solutions--you can use it for sensitive things when you're certain that there aren't any bugs in the vicinity and if you keep it with you at all times, you can be relatively sure that no one has planted any bugs in it.
That's funny compared to the country that won't offer jobs to people of an Arabic origin
...
but still, being the forgiving people we are, still don't go out of our way to delete your resumes.
Wow, so now somehow the entire United States of America is refusing resumes from people in Arabic-speaking countries? Do you even know what the article is about? It's not that I disagree with the fact that the U.S. is a corporate oligarchy, but generally when making a strong argument for or against something, it helps if the very first piece of evidence that you give isn't blatantly incorrect.
Actually I believe that the complete opposite is true. Apples market share could go up 10x overnight if they released Mac OSX for x86.
Hell yeah. They might even end up as successful as Be, Inc. With over 70% of all personal computers running BeOS today, Microsoft is struggling to stay afloat.
It may simply be the speed of your disk. Being a portable, your iBook's hard drive probably runs at a lower RPM. A file this large would undoubtedly require a very large amount of data to be read each second to keep up with the framerate. I suggest trying an external hard drive or watching one of the smaller versions of the trailer instead.
And what luser really understands how to flash a Mac address into an ethernet card?
Why bother flashing the EEPROM? ifconfig eth0 hw ether de:ea:db:ee:f0:00 is all you need. (You may need to bring the interface down first, though.) Additionally, it's not as a student couldn't wait until the target machine went into sleep mode or was shut off before spoofing its MAC address.
Er, so someone who uses Windows, for example, would know more about the OS X Terminal than a Mac user? Jesus fuck, you're one of the stupidest trolls I've seen in a while.
I don't know how to use the computer that my company bought for me, so l'll go write an article about how Apple is going out of business. That'll teach 'em.
But still, why should I trust this bookseller? Sure, they claim that they won't manage any lists of customer purchases... but how do I, as a customer, know that they don't have some lists somewhere?
It's certainly preferable to purchasing books from a company that makes no claims whatsoever about the records they keep, don't you think?
Have you been living in a cave for the past few years? They eschew standards? Mac OS X has a windowing system based on PDF, OpenGL integrated at a very low level in the operating system, XML-formatted preferences for every single app and system setting, an ultra-compliant Java2 VM, and an open source foundation with a BSD UNIX personality. It's getting very, very difficult to find new technologies in OS X that are proprietary, and you're complaining that they used one open source rendering engine instead of another? What kind of warped view of the world do you have?
Wasn't it Bruce Schneier who said recently that ordinary people using strong crypto is like using an armored car to transport a message from a man sleeping on a park bench to a man living in a cardboard box?
Moreover, there are known exploits against 3DES (even if they aren't terribly helpful), whereas massive scrutiny by cryptanalysis worldwide (while Rijndael was becoming AES) has turned up nothing so far. This doesn't mean there won't be exploits, but it means that the chances that Shamir or one of the other hotshot cryptanalysts is going to bring out a paper tomorrow that invalidates all your work are very small.
Well, I wouldn't be so sure about that. http://www.counterpane.com/crypto-gram-0209 .html

Of course the actual address of the bot may vary.

An AMD engineer would never have done anything like that.

Right. As numbski mentioned, Chimera is now Camino.

Yeah, it would be nice, wouldn't it?
Well, I know Malcolm McDowell can.

The OS X Terminal doesn't seem to be vulnerable. I just tried it.
To paraphrase the article:

Unfortunately they may have to pass you up.

WiebeTech is going to do the exact same thing, only with AES instead. http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/1/6/234015/4753

You can also turn on a status bar from the View menu (or command - \ ).
It was Eugene Spafford from Purdue who said that.
Well, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
