I run this at home and at work. It is awesome. Basically, when you start getting ports scanned, it adds an entry to the routing table sending packets to the attacker to 0.0.0.0 -- effectively dropping them into a black hole. They don't get any output back from the port scan, and they have no effective way to contact your machine.
Amplitude is the only signal sent to any analog speaker. Recorded music (wav, mp3, anything with a live waveform that has been recorded) only stores the amplitude of the wave at each point depending on the sampling frequency. That's why something recorded at 44.1KHz (CD quality) sounds so much better than something recorded at 8000 Hz (analog phone line quality). Because you have a better resolution on the wave.
You can't tell a speaker "play this note for this long." You generate the note by modulating the amplitude of the speaker cone's vibration. Frequency is not included in the data - it is only a byproduct (technically speaking, anyway).
I explained the logical fallacies and mentioned that both SecurityFocus.com and RedHat now had potential for a libel suit.
Hopefully we'll see a retraction pretty quick. If not, I guess we should notify securityfocus.com and redhat that their names are being taken in vain:)
That would be the way to go. If I could walk into the office and suddenly my bluetooth-enabled PDA automatically starts getting its X feed from the bluetooth-enabled server in the computer room.
The only software that would need to run on it would be the kernel and an X server. All the X clients could be handled by the more powerful server which could run applications for several PDAs (all the administrators, managers, programmers...) This seems like it would work really well, at least to me. What might tie up a PDA's simple processor would be less than a blink to a Sparc or a P3-550.

I've been interested in stuff like this since I first heard about The Freedows Project sometime in 1998. I just think this kind of stuff is fascinating. I used to wonder if it would be possible to simulate the entire hardware platform, instead of just the operating system. Then VMware came out and answered me.
Now we've got a free-software version. Go, GNU, Go!
Actually, it's not like referring to auto mechanics as blacksmiths. It's like referring to professional crackerjacks as locksmiths.
Eventually every time the common populace hears the word "locksmith", they associate it with somebody who has performed illegal entry. This is what has happened to the words hacker and cracker.
No - I'd say they're just arrogant assholes. This behavior in no way is different than what I would expect from Metallica.
If they were really unable to afford to get drunk, then they wouldn't have gone to a bar and run up a tab. The only reason possible for going out and stealing a luxury item like alcohol is that you believe yourself to be above the consequences. And the actions of people around Metallica have shown this to be true.
I think Ed Suqi should at least take them to small claims court and generate some more (well-deserved) negative publicity for them.
The limit is several Terabytes now. I know the large-file patch is in the 2.3 series development kernels, and I think it was back-ported into 2.2.14 and up.
I don't know about this newfangled "modular memory". Back in MY day, we had the DIPs soldered onto the motherboard. And we liked it!
That's the problem with you young whippersnappers today. "Modular" this and "DDR" that. When I was kneehigh to a grasshopper, we didn't even have init! We loaded our kernels into memory by breaking into ROM basic and POKEing our 64K of RAM just the right way. Taught us a real valuable life lesson, it did.
Carnivore is actually version 3. Herbivore enjoyed some success, but was quickly discontinued once it was found that it could only check to see whether the carrots were instigating a mass-uprising against the government.
Little do they know...
I have heard the tortured screams of the vegetables! For it is Harvest Day - and for them, it is the Holocaust!
Looks like the well-known vulnerability "mouth" is open. This port should be blocked or bacteria, viruses and "poison" trojan horses may enter, denying service to such vital daemons as "heart", "brain", and "liver".
The "nose" port is open - this port should usually be left open for oxygen filtering purposes. If "nose" becomes blocked or firewalled, "mouth" may be used as a substitute.
"ear" is open. This port is necessary for audial input. If an overload of audio is expected, the common firewalling solution "earplugs" may be utilized to block DOS attacks which can result in disruption of services like "eardrum".
Hmmm - I think I should let Jerry know he should install a firewall.

This is just extracting a natural gas from the atmosphere of the moon. Wouldn't need to take much of it, either. I agree that too much shouldn't be disturbed but a little fusion of helium-3 should go a long way.
Oh - just so you know, terraforming isn't necessary to put water on Europa, either - it's already there.
The first post IS correct, except for the last sentence - or at least, that's what my Comp. Eng. courses said. (not saying my professors were always right, but it made sense to me)
I agree that broadband means multiplexing, and that it's used in ways it shouldn't be, but the "base" in, i.e. 10baseT doesn't mean "baseband".
> Put 2 servers against each other running non-stop for 1 month or so.
That's the kind of thing I want to see!
Have both servers configured to automatically attack and respond to the other server's attempts to crack into / DOS the other server. When one server goes down and we see the "magic smoke" released from the hard drive, we know which OS is better.
"In this corner, wearing the Tux the Penguin case, and weighing in at 54 pounds, 3 ounces, the Linux/Intel server!" (cheering of crowd)

"Now, we don't want to see a fair fight. Do your best to cut the other machine off from it's services - FOREVER! Come out DDOSing!"
(bell rings to start the first round)
I'm sure we'd all pay for the pay-per-view to that one.
Not talking about two R/W file handles - file locking should take care of that.
I'm talking about changing a file on an NFS partition and having another client read the file. The changes might not be committed yet, depending on how tight your scheduling is.
I don't seem to see what that has to do with anything you just said.
10baseT == 10 base ten (10) kilobits per second. 10base2 == 10 base two (2) kilobits per second 100baseT == 100 base ten (100) kilobits per second (fast ethernet) 1000baseT == 1000 base ten (1000) kilobits per second (gigabit ethernet)
baseT means base ten number, as in using the decimal system. base2 means base two number, as in using the binary system.
What on earth does that have to do with multiplexing (carrying multiple channels at once)?
By using this alternative input device (lead pencil), the spiral notebook PDA (tm) may be altered from a Write once, read many device into a full duplex read-write device.
By supplying this patch, Mead shows their willingness to cooperate with the open-source community. The source for creating a lead pencil is freely available. They are easy to make and can even be broken into seperate components, so that you have one device for writing data and another for removing it from the PDA.
I'm holding off on buying one until they make the memory access faster - I want to play DVD movies on my Mead Spiral Notebook PDA.
Why on earth...? If you're doing file operations across NFS, you don't want ANYTHING to be cached locally. You want changes committed in real-time so that you don't have race conditions between two systems doing I/O on the same file. If you don't commit a write operation across the network immediately, then you enter a race condition where the master copy and the copy the NFS client recognizes are not the same file. If the file is opened from the master or a different client before the cache is synced, then they'll have an old copy, even though the first client has already "written" a newer version. Bad ju-ju there - why on earth would you want that?

Preferably somebody working for Sun on Star Office right now (maybe even appointed by Sun?).
We need to get staroffice.sourceforge.net (or equivalent) and get lots of people downloading and patching the CVS code.
So, any volunteers?
