Let's hope you never have a disk error, where you are asked for the root password. There is a right way, and a wrong way to do things and this is definately the wrong way.
I still remember nether.net, that's old school man . ..
I once co-admin'd a semi large free shell system (zimcity.net), but it losts its usefullness when the script kiddies and h4x0rs came in.
We eventually firewalled out all outgoing connections not originating from port 22/25/80/110 and blocked all incoming packets not destined for 22/25/80/110 after getting calls from some government sites about unauthorized scans.
After a while, we decided to kill it. It was way more trouble than it was worth.
1. Click on "Edit" 2. Go down to "Preferences" 3. When "Preferences" come up click on "Advanced and scroll down to "Software Update"
By default they should be set. Note that Firefox 0.9.2 is a change in the default configuration, and all you had to do was install the small XPI for it.
doesn't that mean that microsoft will have Linux code in it? (like SCO supposedly did to enable Linux compatibility).
Doesn't matter, that's what open source is all about. Microsoft does distribute the GPL'd source code for the current Services for Unix, I would imagine that any code they grab to allow Linux compatibility would just be included on their ftp.
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/Interix/sfu35/s ou rces/Interix/gnu/
Anyways there is no way to know without access to the source code.
Once again, who cares? As long as M$ meets the requirements of the Open Source Code that they use, there shouldn't be a problem. . .
When only 2 percent of your customers comprise (following is is a made up statistic since they didn't give me one) 80 percent of your traffic, you're lying by omission by only giving customer statistics.
I would bet that anyone who has services from akamai is fairly high traffic, otherwise what is the point. Akamai's not cheap, and people wouldn't be using Akamai if there wasn't a need!
That said, I doubt 2% of their customers would be responsible for 80% of the traffic. . .
Actually Linus dictated that the newer versions of the 2.6 would only allow 4k stacks and will require you make your own patch to disable it. Red Hat just decided to default in FC2 from the start rathre than deal with weaning users off later.
All of my client sites running 2000 or better have SUS running, along with a script which auto-approves updates. I've never had a problem.
I'm not sure I understood this. Am I to take it that you install IIS/SUS on each client (2000 or better) or that you point all your (2000 or better) to an SUS Server?
Even though the update is due to push out tonight, I pushed the registry changes out today with group policies. On systems (still, though I'm pushing them to update) running NT Server, a login script and a.reg file does the trick quit nicely.
Do you have your regular users running as Administrator? If not, how do you get your "regular user" accounts to modify HKLM?
In the end, it takes much less time to roll-back a bad patch than it does to clean a system or entire network raped, ravaged, and left for dead by a virus or worm. Both of which are, unfortunately, part of the game we play and, fortunately, what we get paid to do -- REGARDLESS of your operating system.
I agree with that policy for client machines, but on servers I'd never do that.
The other answer is XP Home comes with cd burning technology, and zip technology
If we're tryin to be fair, then for anything Windows has that comes close to the capabiities of k3b or file roller you'd have to get Nero or WinZip.
and you can download open office and gimp for free just like you can for linux.
Yeah I always point this out too . ..
The advantage of windows here is the ability to use the more powerful software programs. Word has some features I still have not found in Open Office, and photoshop is miles above GIMP.
That's more up to the user. For example, I prefer OO.o's featureset to that of MS Office. Besides there is Crossover Office which allows you to run Office/Photoshop and more for under 40 bucks.

Cost of setup of Windows: Windows itself for each computer Microsoft software for windows, eg Office Big server with enterprise software
Cost of setup of Linux: Linux for each workstation Open-source software, eg. OpenOffice Big server with free software
I didn't realize that OpenOffice.Org stopped releasing the Windows version. Wouldn't a more fair example be couting the Client OS's + the Server OS's + the CAL's on the Windows side, or Crossover + MS Office on the Linux side? That'd be closer to reality in my mind.

In any case OpenBSD has an 8 year track record now: 1 remotely expolitable hole! Windoes cannot match that. Yes there are some gotchas, but it you upgrade your machines when OpenBSD does a major release, something they plan well in advance, you should be safe.
That's why I use DOS, it's track record is untouchable even by OpenBSD. It's got 0 (count 'em, 0) remote root exploits in over 20 years!
So, are you suggesting they should have applied for the CSS decryption license, and then sued when it was (presumably) refused?
Actually no. In the US, 321 would not be able to sue for being denied the sale of a license, AFAIK. However if they sued from a European office, maybe . . . My point is that many "journalists" (i use that word lightly) haze what was really in question. The software was not illegal, per say, but the fact that they didn't have a license for CSS!
Federal judges in New York and California have barred 321 from marketing... [similar] DVD-cloning software - a victory for movie studios, which contended that such products violate the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act."
God some people are so fucking retarded. 321 got spanked in court for decrypting dvd's without having a legal license to decrypt. The products functionality was never in question, the way they got that functionality going was . . .
I agree, I too was the same way. Find motivation where you can. I find it in all the cute bitches at school, without all the peepin I may have dropped out myself.
While I'm there I figure I might as well do somethin. . .

And neither does it require a reboot under XP generally. In fact, most patches/updates haven't required reboots for quite a while either.
Hehe, they may not require a reboot but without rebooting the patch doesn't take effect. Several nessus scans can confirm this.
