Meanwhile our l33t friends have installed a nice DoS package. Imagine what someone could do with the 10 OC48's running into the back of the servers. Or, even just scanning for active accounts and stealing them. There is nothing to suggest that there was anything 'bad' done, but who knows? I would shut that box(s) down as quick as I could. I wouldn't even bother to shut down. Pull the plug (NIC of course)
Of the day? This could be the best article I have seen in months! I liked it so much, I had to immediately stop playing Diablo2 (I was in the middle of killing Mephisto) to come read everything. Imagine Taco's face when he gets a call from VA tomorrow..Someone is going to have a long weekend.
Remove all porn and such sites from every other TLD, and replace it with a.sex (or.porn) site. Example: hotteensex.com becomes hotteensex.sex. Then, all you have to do is block the entire TLD. Who would want to have a site in there that is 'educational?'
Someone is going to say this would be hampering the porn site operators freedom of speach, but we can come around that too. Do not take away the.com domains, but ask that they are turned into redirects. Anyone can go to hotteensex.com, but they are instantly transferred to hotteensex.sex (which the filters block)
If a site does not want to comply with this 'policy,' then do not allow them to reregister their domain when it expires.
Let them use your phone? Hell, I'd give them my phone! Who knows what they would give back to me. I might receive a nuclear powered cell phone, bouncing high powered waves off the Iridium satelites, free of charge. All in exchange for my 25 year old bell ring phone that has a bad receiver.
"After months of reviewing the 'Carnivore' system, we have decided there is nothing bad about it at all. In fact, this machine is completely secure, and is impossible to hack. It uses an advanced security method, New Technology File System, developed by Microsoft to keep its files protected and secret. This device is so great, every ISP in the world should have one. We, completely unbiased and open-minded, believe there should be a carnivore unit sitting behind every connection to the Internet - from the smallest DSL line to the biggest OC-128.
Again, we state, that there is no reason this should not be put out."
In other news, it was discovered that the same slime molds could possibly be smarter than the humans studying them. It was discovered that most humans complete mazes by trying every possible path and then backtracking, or using the time honed method of placing one hand on the right wall and continueing until the end is reached.
Oh my holy Spanish friend names Jesus, I feel so stupid! I have always spelled poorly. Maybe one day I will learn to use my dictionary. Thanks for the inside, friend Anonymous Coward.
The formible Slashdot (Nastaq - ANDV ) has fallen so low as to actually post stories that appear to be nothing more than rumors. While this has happened before, often submitted by frequent reader Anonymous Coward, this is the first time a story has been posted without a link, leading hundreds of faithful readers to assume Slashdot has ran out of "News for nerds, stuff that matters."
Recently, Slashdot.com has been posting stories with malformed links, links pointing to the incorrect address, and stories misgarbled to the point where the reader cannot click through to a web page or understand the entire article. Meanwhile, many readers have been submitting news articles about free domain names, new anti spam legislation, and even the popular "Microsoft Plan to Take Over the World. "
Thankfully, several readers were able to quickly post links to today's story.
In conclusion, maybe all the Slashdot editors have been so drunk, they have hired minions of horny monkeys to approve story submissions. Can it get any worse? Hopefully, only better..
The company I work for has a problem communicating. I (the sys.admin) do not hear about people leaving for a while after they are gone. At that point, I quickly remove all their accounts, and change any password they might know.
I've heard of other sys.admins who like to keep old employees email accounts and such around, just to see what mail they get. Whenever I leave a job, I promptly subscribe my old email address to every spambot I can find..

Slashdot.com works, but all links are hard encoded to point to Slashdot.org. And yes, CmdTaco has complained about misuse of TLDs.... "no, those ads do not generate us any profit..."
If it is, then there are going to be some problems: the RIAA is going to complain about the music, the MPAA is going to complain since the thing must be running DeCSS, and and Microsoft is going to complain because it is not running Linux.
The answer: it has to run enbedded Win2K, so it can have 'legal' DVD support. Good luck hacking it guys!
Right, I understand this. But would one search engine index your site 15 times a day, every day? Even if all the search engines decided to inxed my site, that leaves it covered in 2-3 days. There is probably something suspicios going on, as suggested by someone else. I just hope I am not part of it!
"but cant anyone just run an smtp server? does username@ipnumber not work as an address? I figured that it does, as it would only look at mx records if its user@hostname. "
Lets try the first one:
Yes, anyone can run an SMTP server. Many ISPs do block the outgoing traffic though. If you are fortunate enough to have one that does not, then your SMTP host will send mail, but not receive it. You can convince your SMTP server to pretend to be whatever host you want it to be. You too can send mail and pretend to be CmdrTaco@slashdot.org! You will not be able to receive mail though.
The format username@hostname.domain.tld is the only form that works. When you send mail, the SMTP server is going to use DNS to resolve the name. A request will be send to hostname.domain.tld asking for the mail server's IP address. Then, the mail will be sent on its way to that IP, the mail server. If you put in an IP address such as 10.20.30.40, then your mail server is going to try and look for the tld 40, domain 30, subdomain 20, host 10.
Do I have this correct? Did I leave anything out? Someone correct me if I am wrong!

That's because everything they are doing is sinister. Bastards.

Would we notice if they were kidnapped? Of course we would! The stories would get better!
Now, if I only had a GPS transmitter, I might be able to take part in this. Ah well, anyone care to donate one?
You mean JonKatz comes with the Slashdot Cruiser? Wow! I should go register now!
