To complete the setup of the server, and create the storage space to STORE your data (read: You can't.. can NOT.. skip this step and expect it to work right, er, at all.) you have to login as 'sa' with no password. RTFM on integrated security
isql/E -- login as sa regardless of the password as long as you're in local administrators (which you have to be to install the silly thing)

'Rooting' an SQL db does not give you as much control over a machine as rooting the whole OS does RTFM

That's another nice one.

This is how I got domain admin rights on the houston domain at microsoft. (that's where all the MSN servers reside) I love the blank password. Why'd they have to go and tell the DBA's about it;(
This isn't new, it's been around for ages. It was there in the first MS SQL Sever version 4.21a.
It's ancient and it's beautiful.
Like all NT services, SQL can be run under a domain admin account. It frequently is. SQL also has a command called 'xp_cmdshell' that allows you to shell commands to the OS.
Executing an xp_cmdshell 'net group "domain admins" username/ADD/DOMAIN' will make you a domain admin.
I love this.

Dear Malda,
I think you should make me a slashdot author. While I may not have the raw sex appeal of roblimo or the deep and morbid fascination with Marilyn Manson lyrics that characterizes Jamie, I do have several areas of expertise that would make me a good fit. For starters, I am hated by nearly every regular reader on your site - this should guarantee Jon Katz level flames for every story I post. Additionally, I fully agree with your "pants are optional" philosophy, in fact I frequently remove my pants while thinking about you and your site. If that wasn't enough, I also spend a lot of time monitoring websites that are of interest to a large number of slashdot readers but are not currently covered by any of your current authors - specifically goatse.cx, olsentwins.com and natalieportman.com.
I have an extensive background in journalism dating back to high school when I edited the inmate newsletter at Decker Lake Youth Correctional facility in beautiful Salt Lake City Utah. My penetrating expose on forcible sodomy in the shower room led to an investigation by the state as well as several beatings. Since then I have kept my skills sharp by writing erotic "Sailor Moon" fan fictions and posting them anonymously on your website.
And that's not all. I also haven't had sex in the last 3 months - this gives me incredible empathy for the plight of the average slashdotter.
But wait, there's more. I also drive by the Microsoft main campus once a month and moon the flags outside of building 11. If this doesn't demonstrate the soundness of my moral code, I don't know what does.
Still not convinced? I also hate Microsoft, love Linux and xBSD, appreciate python, use napster, hate Jack Valenti, get sheared every spring for my valuable coat of wool and consider mySQL to be competitive with Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
National Semiconductor MediaGX I used to have a Cyrix MediaGX processor. I hope they haven't done a die shrink, I'd like to get 2 of these set top boxes and make a waffle iron.
Damn those things put out a lot of heat.

Look, you want to get support from the appropriate source. Select agreement customers install lots of stuff that doesn't come preinstalled, so the manufacturer shouldn't have to support it. Microsoft's take is that if they have to support it, you have to buy it from them. That's totally fair. You should just buy boxes that don't come with windows if you're a select customer. It's not like MS forces OEMs to sell you boxes with windows preinstalled.
Get a grip people.

However, the G4 massively outperforms Athlons and PIII's on a per-MHz, per-watt, and per-dollar basis. Uhh... did you read the page I linked? I'll grant you the 'per watt', but that's where it ends.
Perhaps you should stop the 'over-simplified, insulting crap'
If you can show a 500mhz g4 processor outperforming a 800mhz k7 proc in ScaLAPACK benchmarks (properly optimizing for both architectures SIMD extensions), I'll buy you a brand new dual g4 workstation.
And you should at least understand that MacOS 9 doesn't support dual procs. If you aren't using photoshop, you can't see or use that second proc. Oops.
If you'd like to explain how my 8 proc xeon server keeps from melting, but a dual athlon couldn't, you go right ahead.
From the referenced url: a 500 MHz G4 is roughly equivalent to an 800 MHz PIII or Athlon
Still sounds like the G4 offers more bang for your buck.
Way to take a fragment of a sentence out of context. You must work in marketing. If you had bothered to read the sentence you are misquoting you'll note that it only applies to photoshop. You'll also note that there's a reasonably large set of benchmarks on the page.
You should also note that an 800mhz athlon is only $220 or and that you can assemble an 800mhz athlon workstation for less than the price of a 500mhz g4 and that you can get a better video card in the system too.

Make no mistake, apple is a cult. You don't break the rules, you transgress against the will of the founder.

Those who break the rule are required to say 10000 "hail steves" and an "our founder".

I'm wondering if the drive by the major distributors to release a new version every 6 days or so is to blame for the problem. Most of the bugtraq exploits seem to involve redhat based distro's. I don't see very many for debian or slackware. Basically, I think the issue is one cramming too much stuff in the distro and rushing things out the door. Am I wrong here? I'm not a security expert, but these bugs seem to be due to overly fast releases. I think it's a warning sign when a system goes from version 2.x to 7.x in a year. It means that marketing is in control and that's never a goodness. --Shoeboy
What about nethack? Is that a classic game or a modern game? It's still being distributed and maintained. (try buying a new copy of Cadash) What's the status on that? Classic, modern, the ascii equivalent of heroin? Any ideas?
