No, its probably slow because people have plugins enabled in firefox that do 12,000 requests to the webserver at the same time and also do prefetch link caching on all the links and stuff.
It provides a DNSBL-style service that "is not a blacklist and wasn't meant to be used for outright rejection of mail.
Which of course means that in a year or two us mail administrators will start encountering mail servers that have been setup to reject mail based soley on them being on this blacklist.
I've often described the action of quickly clicking on ok on whatever window pops up as the wack-a-mole behavior. With Windows, I can't say I blame users for this behavior because the popups that come up are so frequent and so useless that they've kinda been trained to do this. Linux errors are usually more useful, descriptive and since the order of the buttons change from window to window, you have to be more careful.;-)
Yes, this is very misleading. I thought that maybe the Linux network stack was suddenly vulnerable or something, but you're just talking about it taking advantage of default passwords, which is pretty old if you ask me.
This doesn't necessarily mean that say a Linux router that was installed on PC class hardware and has been kept up to date and properly secured is vulnerable to this botnet.
I hope that entire school board gets fired and some should even see some jail time. How can anyone in their right mind think this was a good idea? And how could it get so far without someone on the school board objecting and putting a stop to it.
Yes but then I'd have to deal with you damn swedes. Sorry, no offense, but I recently had to work with a guy from Sweden who we'll just say was difficult.
Good thing I got fiber to my house a month ago in my house out in the sticks. Now I get 20Mbps down/4 mbps up and my ISP (Smithville Telephone) has plans going up to 100 down/25 up I think, although its like $140/month.
It's not like the hard drive is bad. Just use knoppix or something. You're pretty dumb for someone getting a PhD. Maybe this is just the gods way of sending you a message.
Don't put much faith in titles like PhD. We had a PhD candidate apply for a web development position with us once and they actually listed on their resume that they know how to use weather.com, ebay.com, etc. I mean, if you wrote them, that's one thing, but those sites are designed for the LCD, not PhD.
Unfortunately, most of the comments I see tend to be freeloaders hiding behind a banner of freedom so they can feel all warm and fuzzy inside when they blindly download dozens of games without paying for them.
Why? I mean the man is responsible for the free kernel that the phones use. The least companies could do is send him a free one with service contract. I thought Linus did get gifts like that.
Other than looking at the protocol itself, there is one other thing to consider that may raise the stakes more than someone's ability to crack SSH or not. By keeping yourself logged in and using a keep alive option such as TCPKeepAlive, you are further exposing your existence. If someone was listening at a router or something and wanted to find interesting hosts to break into, you're opening a larger window for discovery by leaving your session logged into 24x7. The fact that you're using SSH would tell someone that you have shell accounts in different places, which is most definitely interesting to hackers.
Great, now you have something that will work for 5% of the cases in which people need to remotely connect. Now how about the rest of the times when people cannot get physical access to the machine by inconvenience or by policy.
Just because its possible to do something doesn't make it practical. In fact, its usually when you impose that impracticality on people that they start doing stupid things that jeopardize their security more than it was before the "better" solution.
I know you're joking, but actually Apache 2.0 was released 10 years ago next month. I remember sitting in the audience at ApacheCon 2000 when they released it. Anyone who is still on 1.3 has been sitting on it for far too long.
I was 1 when the Apple II came out and grew up around them for a bit. Honestly, they never really struck me as a tinker's machine. I also had the impression that Apple was about trying to prevent people from tinkering with their stuff. It always seemed like a generic computer to me. I know that those who owned them will disagree and you are right too, I'm just sharing my opinion from my point of view.
So while you are saying that Apple has changed, I just don't see that.
Its called a subscription to Slashdot. It lets you view stories 45 minutes before they are actually posted for the general public. Gives you time to think of a good comment. Anyone with an asterisk (*) next to their username has one.
My thoughts exactly. Google already does anycast, so why exactly do they need this? Obviously to generate logs of what DNS queries are being made by exactly who.
Well on top of whatever this costs, you're going to have to consider that you'll still need to have your iPhone and your iBook, so you'll need to buy an iRack to hold it all.
What was I saying just a few days ago about how we never build devices that replace previous ones, we just augment the array of what you need to have? Ah yes, here it is

Its funny, I don't have this problem with computer games. Doh! Slam!!!!

For a 1 second boot, it takes a 2.5 minute video to demonstrate it.

So it looks like we only had to wait a few hours for AI to surpass the abilities of a drunken man. Can't wait until tomorrow morning.
Never.
Don't be so sure. Looks like it might be happening in the next few minutes. ;-)

DING DING DING! You are absolutely right.
Yes and it will also support documentation that you can read so that you know what features it has.
You people that gripe about gimp's interface have really messed it up. Thanks a lot.

It also might not take millions of dollars to do. This could potentially be solved by someone in their garage.
Because you can trust Google so much more than China.
