Has anyone written a cookie-cutter recipe for implementing a blackhole list using this data?
I'm familiar with the basic technology: implement a reverse-DNS server that returns a positive reply if the IP address is in the list. However, should I use bind or another server/daemon that responds like bind?
If bind is the preferred implementation, is there a standardized/automated way to build a configuration file with the data from blackholes.us?
have never understood this. It would be trivial for terrorists to smuggle multiple high-power transmitters onto a plane. If transmitting could cause a plane to crash... well something doesn't add up here!
RF interference doesn't just cause a plane to auger into the ground.
Avionics are one of many means used by the pilots for guidance. Everything is cross-checked with other instruments, especially during the critical phase of approach. If something doesn't add up (one instrument says one thing, while another contradicts it) and the runway is not in sight, a missed approach is initiated and the airplane goes around for another approach (or diverts to a pre-planned alternate).
Even when a Cat-III approach is in progress (full automatic landing, with all flight controls in the "hands" of the autopilot), both pilots are watching the progress of the approach carefully, ready to override and go around at the first indication of a problem.
An airplane crash is almost always the result of multiple mistakes in succession or parallel -- no single failure should cause a crash. Detection of RF interference should occur before it causes an unrecoverable problem. But, detected or undetected, it reduces the margin for error,
According to several US Supreme Court decisions (see U.S. v Guest, Shapiro v Thomson, et. al.), the right to travel freely is enjoyed by all citizens. As the primary purpose of driving is to travel from one point to another, it must therefore be a right. As far as I have been able to determine, there have been no USSC cases that, by abridging the right to drive, relegate it to "priviledge" status.
The right to travel freely is just that -- no encumberance of movement. However, it doesn't guarantee any particular mode of conveyance.
A driver's license is really a license to operate a vehicle on public roads. You don't need a driver's license to operate a vehicle entirely on private land. Similarly, you don't need vehicle registration, insurance, etc.
Do you seriously think that every user who signs up will use the full gigabyte? I've got e-mail archives reaching back almost six years for my personal account, and it's only a couple hundred MB.
My personal account would probably account for about that much.
My business account would easily use a gigabyte. Too many of the people I work with do not hesitate to send email with a 3-megabyte attachment.
I've tried, and failed to get them to just zip the attachment first (Winzip even has a beta plug-in for Outlook that does it automatically). Even though we have an web server to easily upload/download data, they can't be bothered with it.
If you enter a speed lower than 11.2 km/s, you will get this error message:
As an object falls toward a planet, it is accelerated by the planet's gravity. The slowest possible impact speed for interplanetary material is the planet's escape velocity. Impact speeds for Earth range from 11.2 km/s to 72.8 km/s. Try again with a faster speed!
I would love an adress I could use for the rest of my life, but the storage is irrelevant. What I want is an address at a domain guaranteed not to disappear, that forwards the mail to my ISP du jour.
With some 30+% of their stock sitting on the table waiting for the roulette ball to fall, I can't see how anyone could consider this SCOX as a safe investment. Its appears that its owners are 46% insiders, 40% institutions and the rest is small investors playing games hopeing for the high margin options to go their way.
There appears to have been a lot of manipulation of the stock price by insiders: a big drop in price during the day is followed by incremental increases in the price just before close, so that the closing price doesn't look so bad. This is likely cooperative parties trading stock among themselves, with any losses being compensated under the table.
That's why I don't think it wll say below the threshold for the requisite number of days: insiders will prop up the price. The average daily volume is so low that manipulation of the price is relatively easy.
It appears that options on SCO are something like 75 times more popular than options on Ford or MSFT.
No one has written any options on SCO. Try to find it in the following file:
However, the short interest is very high, meaning that investors have shorted the stock (i.e. sold borrowed stock at a high price, betting that they will be able to close their position at a lower purchas price). The last time I saw data for SCOX, the number of shares shorted was almost 3 times the average daily volume:
i am ignorant regarding cell station limitations. please explain to me what is limiting the number of conversations.
While a particular cell station may be limited in the number of conversations it can handle due to the complement of hardware, there is an upper limit: the bandwidth allocation for that particular carrier.
I don't know if I have all the details correct, but a PCS carrier in the US (1.9 GHz) has 30 MHz of bandwidth, while the cellular carriers (800 MHz) have 45 MHz. The amount of bandwidth used by a individual conversation depends on the modulation scheme, but whatever it is, the result is that a finite number of conversations can take place at the same time through a single cell.
By reusing frequencies in non-adjacent cells, the number of simultaneous conversations is not limited in this manner. The cell phone company can increase overall capacity by adding cell base stations in a congested area and shrinking the coverage area of each individual cell.
Creating a "super cell" that blankets a large area defeats frequency reuse and actually reduces capacity. However, it might be an appropriate solution for thinly populated areas where coverage is marginal or non-existent.
Very good points, but I think your reply assumes that the state of the technology will remain static. Historical trends suggest that as time passes, the computing/switching power of the cells will go up while the size, weight, and power consumption goes down.
You missed the parent posters comment about "users supported", i.e. the number of users supported.
The frequency allocation for cell-phones is limited. A relatively small number of conversations can be transmitted over that bandwidth, but with small cells, the same frequency can be reused (in non-adjacent cells), yielding a much larger call capacity over a wide area.
The reason the FCC bans use of cellphones in planes is they can block so many cells simultaneously from high-altitude.
It was sent via certified mail and FAX. So, Novell can probably demonstrate that SCO received the letter on 2/6/2004.
That was the day of the last court hearing, in which SCO continued to make unreasonable claims of ownership, despite clear evidence to the contrary from Novell. But, do you suppose the letter was received (and acknowledged) before the court hearing?
If and when the judge reads this letter and puts together the time line, what do you think she will do?
There is also the cold room, where the programmers who make buffer overflows go before they are removed. I have not seen it. But I know that they make sure not to leave marks. They put you in a metal room, and there is cold water and a hose. It is motivating. I will not go there.
The people who moderated this troll/joke "interesting" should be sent to that room.
Forgot to add: Most ISPs do not allow you to share bandwidth like this, so expect to have to pay extra $$/month for a business plan.
Speakeasy will allow you to share your bandwidth. However, you remain responsible for it.
Save your $$ and let your neighbors buy their own access!
Or you can become an administrator in Speakeasy's NetShare program. Everyone pays the price you specify to Speakeasy (minimum $20/month), Speakeasy provides email and newsgroup access, and credits half of their monthly fee to your account.
You can now get 3.0 Mbit downstream, 768 Kbit upstream with 4 static IPs from Speakeasy for $110/month. At $20/participant, it will only require 11-12 additional subscribers to reduce your net cost to zero (after taxes).
Further, all science has to become public knowledge. Engineering specs for all components must become public record before payoff is made. This encourages patenting improvments, and makes everyone more efficient.
Officially, the technology necessary for achieving Earth orbit is classified.
It's probably a moot point, now that several rogue nations have either developed or stolen rocket technology, and are at least close to achieving Earth orbit.
A manager, an engineer, and a programmer are in a car, on their way to a meeting. As they descend down a hill, the brakes fail. The driver manages to slow the car down and stop it on the side of the road. All three get out and ponder what to do next.
The manager says: "First, we have to appoint a committee to investigate the problem and recommend a solution. Then, we must write a project plan, and review the specifications before we can start design and implementation. I estimate it will require about 3 months."
The engineer says: "I have some tools in my briefcase. I can rebuild the master brake cylinder in an hour or so, and we'll be on our way."
The programmer says: "No, no, no! First, we have to push the car up to the top of the hill and see if the brakes fail again!"
The website is no longer being updated, as NASDAQ is no longer providing the data for free. But, can see that the short interest ratio has been climbing steadily, despite an increase in average daily volume.
I'm charged 10 cents for every incoming or outgoing SMS (text) message. I can buy a bundle of messages every month for a cheaper unit price, but since I don't use my phone for that purpose, I don't see any point.
If I get spammed by someone identifiable because I happen to be in their vicinity, I'll be demanding to see the manager and collect my dime refund, just to be a PITA. If enough people do it, that will be end of that kind of spam in the US.
I wouldn't be surprised if Bush gets Congress to repeal the limit on Presidents serving more than two terms.
Congress can't repeal the limit on their own, with or without Bush. All they can do is propose a Constitutional amendment to revoke the 22nd Amendment, which created the limit.
Then, 3/4ths of the state legislatures must ratify the amendment.
Until the mid-1900's, there was a "gentleman's agreement" that no President would serve for more than 2 terms. Franklin D. Roosevelt chose to ignore that tradition and was elected to the office four times -- dying during his fourth term. The 22nd Amendment was proposed and ratified shortly thereafter.
The first is forty-two lines of packet handling code. Following the ip_vs_state_table variable is where most of the infringement takes place.

You are going to have to be more specific than this. CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM is a keyword for the C pre-processor, and I count 66 references by either an #ifdef or #ifndef directive:
VMALLOC_VMADDR is a pre-processor macro defined in 33 places, all to "((unsigned long)(x))". Again, would you care to be more specific?
And the last is seven lines after SELFPOWER, USB specific power management code.
There is only one occurrence of the string "selfpower" (when I did a case-insensitive search) at line 346 of drivers/usb/hcd.c. Note that it is actually a comment:
