At University of New Hampshire you need to register to use the network (you can register as a guest). If your MAC address is detected spreading malware, you'll get the registration screen again, quarantined on a 10.0.0.1. However, you can access virus.unh.edu from there to download the site-licensed McAfee and you can access Windows Update. So, you have minimal, but existant, resources to clean up with.
The tough policy works. The network is mostly malware free. Commercial ISPs need to do the same ASAP after receiving an abuse report.
If you think this you are visiting the wrong channels, or the wrong networks. IRC the system is independant of the typical "IRC user" stereotype. Just because l4m3rz use it doesn't mean it is lame. I operate a very small IRC network (you can find the info on my homepage) with an excellent community of friends met on slashnet, in real life, and other places. It is a convenient method of asking friends for immediate help on problems as well as a good source of community and entertainment. New folks are welcome, but because we are small we don't attract idiots.
I've been to nearly 5900 meters while climbing Kilimanjaro, and I can tell you the air is pretty thin up there. We obviously spent a fair amount of time adjusting, but not the timeframe on Kili is rushed and you definitely feel it. On the final day we climb at a rate of several seconds per step breathing like we were running a marathon. Very exhilarating:)
The article makes it sound like oxygen/pressurized cabin is neccessary at this altitude. It isn't. We spent our final night higher than this altitude and I never even had a headache. I assume the reason why the workers received oxygen was to assist with the heavy labor they had to do.
The pressurized cabin on the train is merely a matter of comfort for most people, although that altitude is high enough to cause problems for some people susceptible to Acute Mountain Sickness or AMS. Since the purpose of the railroad is to reach those high altitudes, I'd assume most people are somewhat accustomed to it.
Here is a picture from the crater rim of Kilimanjaro's larger peak Kibo at sunrise. The smaller peak you see is Mawenzi, and the view is towards Kenya. I would love to visit Tibet some day.
You have a defective phone. They should give you a replacement, if they don't, stick it to them until they do. It isn't that common, but it happens. I know several people with the V710 and they love it -- no issues,
The settlement wasn't over the crippling of bluetooth. It was made because Verizon didn't adequately alert people the OBEX functionality was disabled. As a result of the settlement, Verizon now puts a note on all their Bluetooth phone material indicating which profiles are active.
If this information was right there, and you still purchased the phone, you are in no way entitled to any compensation.
In some parts of the country (areas where excessive salt is used on the roads) 8 years is nearing the end-of-life for the body. So, if you can drive 100,000 miles on your 8 year old Accord before it rusts out, more power to you, but this isn't an option for everyone.
Our aging hand-me-down Dodge Caravan is finally succumbing to rust after ten years and 180,000 miles.
I included only the major US ISPs. This is from spam sent during the last 8 hours, sent directly from the above address to my SMTP server. There is a major problem with these zombies, and ISPs need to be more active about fixing it.
This simply isn't true anymore. I carefully report all of the spam I get from ISP customers using a script, and I can assure you Comcast users (zombies) send me more spam than any other ISP. Overall spam from ISPs probably accounts for around 50% of the spam I receive.
Also, I have Comcast at my apartment, and I know they don't block port 25 there. So, they might in some areas, but not many.
In the light of the previous discussion about pedophiles and GPS ankle bracelets, I say the 5th offense requires the fitting of a GPS tracking system that alerts the netadmin SWAT team when the user gets within 15 feet of an unpatched machine.
I switched from Dotster to Godaddy after Dotster a) Started spamming me regularly, without a working opt-out b) Registered.info versions of my domains "for free" and stuck their advertisement ridden parking stuff on them.
I don't care if Dotster uses open source software. Domain squatting and spamming make them unacceptable. I can no longer recommend them.
Anyone who has ever flown transpacific can understand the value of these planes. Fuel efficiency is very important, and airlines regularly fill 747s. You may never see this plane if you fly domestic. There is no reason for an airline to use it on domestic flights. Its purpose is high traffic long haul flights (New York - Tokyo, LA to Singapore... etc)
Narcotics refers to a specific class of drugs, depressants, mainly opiates.
Narcotic \Nar*cot"ic\, n. (Med.)
A drug which, in medicinal doses, generally allays morbid
susceptibility, relieves pain, and produces sleep; but which,
in poisonous doses, produces stupor, coma, or convulsions,
and, when given in sufficient quantity, causes death. The
best examples are opium (with morphine), belladonna (with
atropine), and conium.
Any modern fuel injected vehicle will not be damaged. The engine computer is more than smart enough to cut fuel when the engine speed gets near redline. It might/sound/ scary with the engine thrashing near redline, but believe it or not redline is within the design limits. If you managed to peg the tach or surpass redline significantly, you might cause damage. But the only way to do this is to overspeed the engine by downshifting. A governed engine simply will not exceed redline under its own power.
When will this misconception end?! Try it sometime.
During a runaway incident, stopping the engine is generally a bad idea because then you lose power steering a vacuum brake assist.
Only within the appeals court's jurisdiction. For example, when the 9th Circuit Court rules that "Under God" is unconstitional, the precedent in that ruling only affects courts WITHIN the 9th circuit.
The loser needs to appeal it to the supreme court for it to affect the entire US.
This particular case only applies within the district court's jurisdiction. It hasn't been to an appeals court yet.
Note that there are other crimes where no mens rea is required: Statutory Rape is one of them, serving alcohol to minors is another. Personally I disagree with having no requirement for a mens rea component in those crimes. But, in the eyes of the law mens rea is not absolutely required.
I am not a lawyer, I'm a computer engineering student taking a law class:)
The point was that the statistics are wrong. Which is absolutely true. This doesn't make it right to pirate it. It does mean that the BSA "lies with statistics" to overstate their losses and earn sympathy in the press.
On an entirely unrelated note, I've thought for a long time that "family licensing" "household licensing" or even just plain "one license per individual" would make a lot more sense. I don't use commercial software much, but I've always been annoyed that there is nothing like volume licensing for individuals or households. I'd especially like this for things like Norton Ghost. The program is practically designed to be moved from computer to computer! IIRC, the Microsoft Office license currently allows simultaneous installation on a laptop. This is a step in the right direction for commercial software.
I also subscribe to Car and Driver. Additionally, I often pick up copies of audio magazines such as EQ and Mix. However, I do not subscribe to those at this time.
I do not have to plug my diesel in, and it has started in 20 below temperatures without a hitch. Don't confuse yesterday's technology with today's.
I do add an "anti-gel" additive which helps to keep the fuel from gelling or accumulating water. This is similar, although not entirely like gasline antifreeze gas engines sometimes need in very cold weather. The Power Service company makes an antigel designed specifically for biodiesel, and it will allow high concentrations of biofuels even in winter months.
Diesel fuel from the pump is also winterized to a certain degree, using kerosene or bulk additive added by the fuel company. Biodiesel purchased from pumps in the winter is usually dilluted so some degree with petrodiesel or has an additive dose.
This is entirely incorrect. I use the googlebar with firefox, and it works flawlessly. I do not use the builtin search, as its features are weak compared to the real googlebar.
I run a very small IRC network which we tend to call Foonet IRC for lack of a better name. In the past 2 weeks, over 300 people have searched google for FoonNET and gotten our little webpage. I find this very amusing, and a fascinating real life glimpse at the trends shown in the Google Zeitgeist
Here here! My linux distribution of choice completes the install with no ports open! That way the admin is made aware of any ports opened by his/her choice.
I think another factor is the often ignored admin factor of security. Some admins have taken a system and created holes you could drive a truck through. Typically, BSD variants are used by more experienced admins. As a result, BSD systems tend to be better maintained. Additionally, the BSD release process is controlled in a more organized process-- no "distributions" -- everything is the same (with the particular flavour BSD) unless the admin changes it.

According to this Yahoo's bot is the most aggressive on my site. GoogleBot is really quite tame.
I did get 100% on the first try.
Also, worked fine in Firefox for me.
