I have the hard back edition, man it is a fat volume. It's an excellent book.
As explained in the book, the title comes from a song that has the lyric, "It's nobody's bussiness if I do, and it's nobody's fault but mine." Kinda sums up the whole mess.
Yeah I know, but the question had the text:
(This host
may be accessed through the local area network if necessary) so I thought that ssh was the only answer that fit, given that stipulation.
I took the practice tests and got an overall average of 80% but there were a few questions that I didn't agree with. Most are on the security and ethics test.
Is it ever ethical for a Network Administrator to read other users' E-mail on a server that he is administrating without approval. Explanation: The Electronic Communications Privacy Act specifically grants this right to authorized
personnel. Courts have generally ruled that there is no reasonable expectation to privacy and, further, states that employers
have the right to read e-mail to protect their interests. While I see that it is legal, I still don't consider it "ethical"
2:Of the following examples, which would be the most representative of physical security?
1. Computer Locks
2. BIOS Security
3. Boot Loader Security (example - LILO)
4. xlock and vlock
Explanation : Physical security of a machine is the protection of unauthorized persons from logging into the physical terminal. All
four examples help in preventing unauthorized persons from logging into the machine. I think the first one is "most" representative answer as the others are all implemented in software.
9:Which of the following is the most secure method for a System Administrator to login as root into a host. (This host may be accessed
through the local area network if necessary)
A.rlogin
B.ssh
C.telnet
D.Login as root at the physical terminal
E.All of the above are equally suitable options
Explanation : Answer D is correct. Using rlogin, ssh, and telnet place the root password on the network, subjecting it to potential
snooping. Further rlogin relies on the "trust" of another host and can be easily fooled. Telnet and Secure shell are probably the
next best choices because they are capable of using encryption to protect the data but is still unsafe because it is always feasible
that someone is capable of decrypting the message. Physically logging onto the terminal prevents network snooping of the root
password.I chose SSH. I realize that logging on to the physical console is the most secure but why does the question say you can log in over the network if necessary? And unless I'm graveley mistaken ssh does not put the root password in plaintext on the network. I'm sure it doesn't when using public key authentication...
Sorry, those just caught me as unfair questions...
Lemme take up some bandwith and espouse my views on the casting and character development
Paul - I liked the actor, but I didn't like the character as much as in lynches dune. Paul in the miniseries changes too much to really get to know him. In the movie paul doesn't really change his views that much, he's on a mystical trip the whole time, which makes him easier to uhh "know." Not that he was transparent, but his character was consistently mysterious.
Chani - I liked this Chani alot better that Lynches. In the movie Chani looked like the american girl next door. Boring! In the series she looks much more aboriginal, with a wide face and straight black hair. And that accent is so sexy!
The character devopment added a lot.
The Harkonnen - Done well. Less evil than the movie, they seemed more realistic. I loved the Samauri suits, they just looked well cool! Feyd was better here too. He seemed scarier than Sting was.
Jessica - Good choice to play the part, but I agree with the earlier poster who said she seemed to motherly and not enough like a powerful witch.
I didn't like how the fremen/paul didn't wear stillsuits all the time. And they only wore their facemasks part of the time they had the suits on. I mean they are wasting water! I think the audience could have identified the characters with facemasks on, Stillgar has a tatoo on his head for just such a purpose. The final battle wasn't as good as I had hoped, the fighting just didn't seem too satisfying and I got tired of the explosions sending samauri sprawling.
But overall I liked the series, It was very pleasing to the eye. And didn't mangle the story too much, I'll buy the DVD when I can get it.
I mean really, why didn't they use a REAL kangaroo mouse, I don't remember from the book the mouse being a foot tall. But even if they had to have a big mouse why didn't they use a wallaby or something? Or just use creative camera work to make the little mouse look bigger. Some things are best done without using computer generated characters.
That's nice, but what's the point? Unless you are exchanging data with someone else on that backbone
well doesn't it make sense to add more backbones and try to get people connected to them?
Man, If I hadn't gone to the bathroom while writing this post It would have been the first reply and gotten moderated up.:P
Moderation is such a ficcle friend *sigh*
Don't most comic book villians think they are basically the good guys, they just have a twisted sense of right and wrong!?
Especially Batman, it seems, (now I watched the cartoon more than read the comics but the universe is the same) is always facing villians that have been wronged in some way where you actually feel some sympathy for them. What makes a villian different from a hero in a traditional comic is that the good guy has a ROCK-SOLID sense of right and wrong, and has to look past his emotions to do what's right. Batman feels sorry for the villian, but still sends them to jail, making them more bitter and more of a villian once they break out.
As for the wife being the villian of the story, the movie never hinted anything in that direction. And this movie explains it's hints. I just can't see the homely wife who just wants to love her husband becoming the bad guy instead of the eccentric rich person in a wheelchair who dresses in purple and black.
I didn't like this movie, It moved way to slow (I'm not opposed to slow movies, I love 2001) and the camera angles were a bit over the top and pretentious. The scene where David Dunn discovers his superhuman strength is a good example. THis movie had great potential, but continually frustrated the viewer up until the ending. The ending was a cool turn in the plot, but man what a dissapointment. Earlier someone tells Dunn about what an arch villian does as opposed to a street-villian, he fights with his mind. TO bad we never got to see that happening.
I did like the david dunn character, and Elijah was an awesome character to. I like Dunn's "costume" of just a green poncho, THAT was cool.
But all in all, this movie went nowhere...
I was listening to national public radio (here in texas) and they were asking people from other countries what they thought about the US election. The funniest guy was a frenchman who said, "I mean it should be one vote one person, It's like the metric system, when are they going to get real?" It's funny because it's true:)
a well-educated, intelligent, proven person who's been part of the most successful
administration for decades
You'd be suprised how many people just hate the clinton-gore administration here in america(I don't consider myself one of those people.) Even those who aren't clinton-haters probably wouldn't consider clinton's the most successful administratio in decades. What country are you from? I'd be interested to hear what the rest of the world thinks about US politics.
Are you from Texas?
I am. And I know that texas has the weakest governor of all the states. Fact is, the texas governor doesn't do much. We had a harsh reconstructionalist after the civil war (E.J. Davis), so we ousted him and rewrote the governor's official responsibilties. The governor's signature isn't even required to pass a bill into law!
you must have been living in a cave to not see the changes that Bush made for the better
Well maybe I have been living in a cave. So enlighten me please (actually sarcasm aside, I really would like to know a few things that bush has done.)
But that's the way the system was designed. He agreed to be bound by the rules of the system.
I'm so tired of people saying this. Both canidates are working within the system no matter what one side says about the other. The automatic recount was done because florida law says it has to be done in such a close race. The second and manual recount was done because florida law allows a canidate to request such a count. And now florida law allows gore to contest the certification. All of this is being done in accordance with florida law.
Why were many military ballots thrown out? Because florida law says they have to be postmarked or signed by a certain date. That's just the way it is.
Don't get started on the "will of the people." How about the will of all the elderly (we'll just assume that they are elderly) people who mistakenely voted for Buchanan? I know that there had to be at least more votes than bush leads by mistakenenly cast in this way. Look at Buchanan's more than proportianal tally in palm beach county! Yeah I know they're dumb, I agree with that, but in previous elections the democrat was always the second hole on the punch card.
Removing kinetic energy from the ocean would lessen such effects, I would think. (Am I missing something basic
here?)
Waves and currents aren't "bad." Changing the pattern of such waves and current *might* be "bad."
Just because erosion is the most visible effect from a human point of view doesn't mean stopping it is a "good" thing for the environment. We frankly don't know exactly what will happen. And it's always a good idea to take a hands-off approach when dealing with something like the environment where it is damn near impossible to know all the variables.
That said, I still think this is a MUCH better system than burning fossil fuels for energy. Utilizing wave energy will give us as much clean power as we need for as long as the sun shines, and the moon orbits the earth. And I don't think that a.01% (if we ever even approach that high of a utilization) power drain on the ocean will have a very big effect.
(Did they even teach world
history there? Oh, I should know, cuz I graduated from an American liberal arts college.)
Not as bad a a government trying to REWRITE history, I bet you've never even heard of the tianeman square massacre where your goverment killed hundreds of its own citizens.
So just why did you come to the US to get an education, you "dumbfuck"?
Naw the british have it all wrong. Always pronouncing an 'r' after words that end in a vowel. What's with that! And "colour" what's with the 'u'? Surely you don't pronounce "color" the same as "sour."
Us texans don't drawl, we pronounce words slowly, for easy understanding. If anything, we've polished up the language a little:)
I agree partly, why complicate things further by allowing a horribly complex written language to be used in domain names
But china DOES want to have such domain names, and not even ending with.net.com etc. At least NSI was using standard TLDs. I can't agree with what the chinese government is doing, as essentially they are claiming that they own the language, and therefore they are the sole arbiters of chinese domain names. How is that better than NSI's "experiment"?
It's also important to note that many voters who made a mistake were forced to submit their ballot once
punched. The poll workers did not allow them to destroy their ballot and get a new one.
That's not cool.. When I was an election clerk here in texas we were allowed to void ballots if a person made a mistake, and give them a new one. We were also able to give assistance, and believe me, even with our IMO non-confusing tarrant county ballots there were still a lot of people that didn't understand them.
The cute comparison mentions condensation as the primary "driver" of the weather on titan and evaporation (from the sun) as that which influnces weather on earth.
Maybye I'm missing something, but it seems to me that evaporation and condensation have to be at equilibruim in order to produce a long-lasting weather cycle.
It doesn't seem logical to list either one as a primary cause of a weather cycle as they are two sides of the same coin.
I too was a wee little pup when I saw the cosmos series on pbs. More recently I was able to rent it from blockbuster (it's pretty pricey to rent a whole PBS series:-) Now that I'm older I can see how Sagan might have been a toker:)
I loved it. Sagan did such a good job of illuminating the wonders of science and our world.
The whole series is organized wonderfully, and Sagan himself is so enthusiastic about the subject matter..
If you haven't seen it, snatch up a copy when it comes out. Geez I get goosebumps just thinking about it... SHows how geeky i am..
