While I really hate the idea of some store knowing how much I have in my pocket, mostly due to not having much. It might make those big drug dealers, and big wig politicians eaiser to spot.
I work in vision robotics as a daily task. Using cameras looking down to determine a x-y plane for positioning parts to a tolerance of 0.0005 inch. Then placing parts on that targeted subject. One of the only problems is being able to determine the height of said subject. Currently we use mechanical means of taking in variances of two thousands of a inch. This make me want to get my calcuator out and determine the angle between the cameras that would be required to make the z height determination that would enable me to know the height to 0.0005 inch. Yes, there are applications for this!
Demarc Console frontend for Snort

Future Of IDS

· Score: 1
I agree, snort is the best. But the area that needed inprovement for the sysadmin is the frontend. You might want to check out http://www.demarc.org/ Their frontend is very nice. But does take a bit to get installed correctly.
Current discussion on loganalysis@securityfocus.com, is that almost all systems have security logging. But since most log systems can be spoofed, how can we give Due Diligence for Admission in Court with the information that we have. Maybe some guidelines from the legal system would be nice? Rather than what happens on a case by case, depending on the savy lawyers to convice people.
Currently, most sys admins can send a page from a log and get most people either booted of a isp, or a strong talking to. But if you go to court, its almost inadmissable evidence, since it is POSSIBLE that the log has been compromised.
Computers, cars, it doesent matter. We want to know what goes on under the hood. We have the feeling that we can 'soup it up' make it better than the person who origionally came up with the idea. And more often than not, it is so.
If you have ever been to korea, you would know that you can go to e-ta-won and purchase almost any music cd from any artist, complete with poorly coppied cd cover for less than a dollar. Funny they never arrested those guys, ah well guess its just the web sites that are costing the RIAA millions.
Us law does not allow gambling on the internet. You move your servers to some carabiean island. The gambling servers can still be accessed from the US. As long as you dont have a office in the US they will not touch you.
But if you have a office in the us, somebody from that office is going to jail.
Same for this in france. Even though they removed it from the french servers, they have office in france. Somebody from there will be in the French Forign Legion real soon if the same offending stuff can still be reached on any server from France.
Microsoft will win for a long time. They got the money to throw at programs for the masses.
But wait, the.net revolution, will cause companies to evaluate cost of ownership, data possession and security. NO ceo in their right mind, will allow their company data to be warehoused off site, or only can be used if they continue to pay every year just to use the same program to access thier data.
I could see somebody saying. "Oh im sorry, I cant get you those numbers, we didnt pay for our program this month."
I will be interested in seeing how many servers become linux servers in the.net revolution.
A: Yeah. It's good competition. It will force us to be innovative. It will force us to justify the prices and value that we deliver.
Note: Remember to raise prices when we get back to the office, I cant believe they are eating out of our hands.
And that's only healthy. The only thing we have a problem with is when the government funds open-source work. Government funding should be for work that is available to everybody. Open source is not available to commercial companies. The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source. If the government wants to put something in the public domain, it should. Linux is not in the public domain. Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches. That's the way that the license works.
Note: Their scared shitless now, no way they will allow Linux in their offices. Is this is the best FUD we could come up with? Remember to have a meeting with bill when we get back. We got to come up with better lines than this. Its getting old.
When we lived in S.C. We would see sometimes Semi-trucks going down I95 at 90 miles per hour. Just happened to have a full sized subruban with very dark windows, in the front and rear.
One bright afternoon, one of these caravans went zooming past us, and you could see a guy setting at a machine gun in the back. So I am willing to say these are escort truck's for munitions, or nuclear fuel transport.
I was just feeling good, and instead of posting something really dumb, I tryed to be funny. Guess once in awhile the geek gets out of the box..
Indeed, though, I do read, and react. In case your really board, and live in one of these states, you might want to read about UCITA law, you should read its comming to Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Delaware, and maybe your neighborhood too. Take the time to read what they can do. And then drop a line to your state repesentive. Take the time to do it!
As indeed we did contact our state representatives, and had a nice discussion. Made them aware of what we thought about it. Then took the time to provide hard copies of interesting articles from the net.
Again, it was just a week stab, at a small pun, on the origional post.
Well I can tell, you have never lived next to a airport. BTW there are above ground rights, its just the goverment owns them. And is transferable to any agency, the military, cia, nasa ect...
My house has 6 computers, with 5 kids. They are on the net all the time. Usually playing games. When they first got started, I believe it did help. Even the multiplayer games, which we watched them learn about team work. But now we cant get their lazy tails up half the time to do their chores, its always "just a minuite". In general I believe it helps, but only if there is a limited time. If they are on it all the time, it detracts from the normal functions of interaction with other people.
At work, they have us setup each with a compaq IPac, and nt clients. If we want to use the office suite we must login to the terminal server. So my thought is if somebody would write a client, to allow Linux to replace the nt client side, there would be alot of savings, and all the useability of microsoft programs on the server. NOT that our Microsoft Borg Admin would allow it, but it is a idea. I would use that at home!

Somebody got time and bandwidth to put up a site. So we can have somewhere a listing of which ELECTED official has been bought, and by who. With nice submitted emails from Registered Voters, notifying the offending offical that were on to them and straighten up before we oust him/her?
We are trying the client for awhile. It seems to be nice about throttling its usage. Which means it will not kill my bandwidth. Memory and processor usage is acceptable too. But I have concerns about the data too. But I WILL drop them a line, with more specific questions, such as will the data stay open source, since we are providing the mass resources, etc.. Hope you do too, dont just post, ask.
Edison (big bill) vs Tesla (GPL) Similarities..
Edison did this with a series of demonstrations of the danger, in which he invited the public to watch as he used the Westinghouse/Tesla high voltage system to electrocute puppies and other small animals. Eventually he put on a demonstration using high voltage to kill a horse.
Yes, it does sound funny. But if its true even as a interpertation by one person, then the statement is true. Just need to put one person on that stand that thinks its beautiful.
But I believe after being in court myself on a high tech court case. That this is what I call a distractant. Used to divert attention and resources that need to be applied to items in question that are more relevent to the actual law of this subject.
Is pretty much in the eye of the beholder. In point, where the judge might not understand my code at all. A compentent programmer looking at my code, may see the beauty of it all. How the data flows, morphs ect...
Well, I went around, and did find the instructions to setup the fonts. And it is MUCH better now. (thanks for the starting point) But my point was, why isnt this included in the distro's? This is one of the most basic functions of the os, providing readable output is it not?
While I dont believe that this would work in stores, it still would be interesting. Build a very small and very simple IR detector circuit. Which would notify via a beep or tone, that you have been swept with a IR source. This can be built for less than a few bucks. Wear it on your shirt! Even better would be to build two small IR emitters into the arms of your sun glasses. This would make it impossible for your eyes to be scanned as it would blind their eye scanning system. For sure, if they were monitoring you, you would get assistance if a flash. As you would show up on there monitors with glowing eyes!
