Try many, many hundreds of dollars I have happily given them for ad space. They do not need to charge anything there are tens of thousands like myself that are paying for you to see those ads.
I thought they ran a oven a week or so ago, why no preliminary test results shown anywhere yet? Disappearing ice is cool and all but I want to see some soil test results.
I have been looking for a new phone starting last week. My first choice was a iphone, oops cannot get one anywhere even the old model since everything has been showing out of stock for the last month. So I said the hell with apple and bought a lg vu. If it turns out I do not like the vu it is getting returned for a good ole reliable always kicks ass only needs charging every 4 days software rich blackberry for $99.
"As far as I know, this is impossible in Linux, hence it's not business ready IMHO."
Just because "you" do not know how, does not mean it is impossible.
Actually there is not a single thing on your list that I cannot do without a single script and a ldap server. Not only that but I can use your existing AD, oracle, postgres, mssql or whatever else I decide to use to provide any functionality I want.
Actually having worked for a ISP the heavy users are way less than 5 percent probably closer to 1% or less. Much easier to just get rid of those couple of customers than to filter and or take calls about slowness on the network caused by a couple of these users.
No actually he is not imposing a bandwidth cap he is simply enforcing the AUP which clearly states there will be no serving of content of any type on the network.
Yes of course one can simply use filtering and capping to do so. However you have to take into consideration that he would then have to install, maintain the filtering solution and remember it is only because of a couple of torrent users that this is necessary. The few bucks of profit per connection for these couple of users simply cannot pay for the installation and maintenance of the device so it is a better business decision to just cut and refund.
A friend of mine runs a ISP, he has a very simple policy that works out rather well. He does not go out of his way to regulate what people do on the network until it causes a issue. Bit Torrent is a bandwidth hog and attempts to evade filtering rather well. If he encounters issues caused by a Bit Torrent user he just hands them their money back for the month and drops them as a customer. This keeps the rest of the network clean and the other customers happy. The profit margin on each connection is so very thin that it just does not pay to mess with this extremely small portion of the customer base.
They know a good portion of our information is likely stored in databases in India. What better way to obtain that information than to attack a third party with less defenses.
You see Linux is a tool, it's cost and functionality is a competitive advantage. While Company A is stroking million dollar licensing checks each year Company B is running Linux. Company B is placing that million dollars into sales, marketing, equipment etc to put a hurting on company A's market share. I guess company B hopes you continue running windows.
EV's are cool however that trucker is gonna be pissed when he has to swap 2 tons of batteries out to get another 15 miles down the road. Not to mention most of our electricity is generated from coal. Or do you intend to install about 20 acres of solar panels to recharge your car every day.
I see all sorts of posts complaining about fuel prices. Yes I am sure that production of crops for fuel production is having some small effect on food prices. However, the rising fuel cost in the US is having a much, much greater effect.
1. Farmers are paying much much more to run their large diesel tilling and harvesting equipment.
2. High Nitrogen Fertilizer is made from natural gas, again much higher.
3. Drying bill, corn feedstock has to be dried again with fossil fuel, again higher prices.
4. Fueling trucks to haul the produce again insanely expensive.
Actually the market is working exactly as it should. The countries that supply most of our oil also import large amounts of food due to the fact that most of them are located in poor agricultural areas. Now we know that there is no real shortage at the moment and the price is being driven by the market and not the supply. The more painful the food prices get the more incentive the oil producing nations have to further increase supply to drive the prices back to a reasonable range.
Now in the good old US it is not likely many of us are going to starve anytime soon, we have the most efficient agricultural machine on the earth. However it is a unfortunate fact that many countries that depend on us for food supply are going to have to pay the price, at least till this crazy fuel market levels out.
I commute 70 miles on way to work that would be 140 per day. Ethanol can get me that far without a problem, batteries on the other hand will not make that kind of range.
Ah but stored procedures have one very bad drawback that you failed to mention. If all stored procedures used the same syntax and dialect all would be good but this is not the case every single database server is different. You put the majority of the logic in stored procedures and from that point forward you are eternally locked to that platform. Call Microsoft or Oracle and ask their opinion, they will tell you that you should always use stored procedures.
It could have been more entertaining it had done a fetch from any tables where it finds a field named user, pass, ssn etc,combined the results and wrote it to all text fields in all tables.
The bottom line is this, it does not matter one lick how many security measures you put in place. Short of completely disconnecting the network from every point of entry and encrypting the entire network. Your security measures are not going to survive a determined attack from someone with at most average hacking skills. The best you can do is to point out the risks and figure out how to respond when your network gets owned because someday it is going to.
Security it always a trade off and a continuous game of cat and mouse. It is all about being open enough to get the job done while doing your best to inform and mitigate the risk.
You are right about that point but all the others he made are still valid. No way should this thing have been on the network for over two months without being detected. Considering this is the pentagon we are talking about here it should have been detected immediately. Hell snort would have picked up on it in seconds. I do not think they are script kiddies either but a node firing email trojan payloads as this suggest is damn trivial to detect.
It is the same sort of escape system attached to the top of the capsule as the soyuz spacecraft has. If you do some searching it is a tried and proved emergency escape system. Look for Soyuz T-10, a fire on the pad occurred during launch causing a explosion that destroyed the pad. The cosmonauts where launched to safely by their emergency escape rockets.
Once you learn python you ain't gonna get past hello world in ruby. You will sit there, look at the syntax and say what the hell do I want to learn this for.
I have painted / airbrushed quite a few of these things and it can be rather pricey depending on the artwork. I use automotive clear over them though so nobody is just going to be able to wipe it off. I cannot understand why someone would even think it is a good idea to clean off the artwork and signatures in this case....he should be mad.

This old 33 mhz 386 cpu just ain't what it is used to be it spikes to 100% when I do just about anything.
You should have finished it on Saturday, didn't you read the memo!

Of course but then again what is the difference, at least I have the option
of buying it over the counter without a contract.

Two months to catch a bug that is transmitting itself as a malicious payload
on the network?
What do you want to bet that their security manager has a phd and worth
every penny he makes.
You went to college didn't you? It shows!

Depends if you ever want to learn ruby or not?
