I'm 46 and I can't read the LCD's I've tried. But the CRT's are fine. Other folks my age have told me similar things. The LCD's have a lot to recommend them but if you can't read some of the text (especially lighter colors in syntax-highlighted Python, for me) then that negates the advantages.
If it was the wu-ftpd hole, then one point is that the wu-ftp web site did not have a patch for at least a week after the hole was announced. I know because I was going out of town and had to take my machine down because I couldn't run with a hole.
Then I got back five days later and they still didn't have a patch. I read RedHat and Debian's patch, and fixed it by hand. I know that they need to check all kinds of OS's, and that they are volunteers, etc. But the hole was reported Jun 01. That's a long time for a remote root exploit.
So why run wu-ftpd? Is there another ftp server that does on-the-fly.zip and.tar.gz of directories? That I could figure out, proFTP doesn't do that. I'd appreciate being corrected.
Two reasons. First, it is wrong of companies to do it. Second, colleges and universities are not companies.
I am a faculty member at a college. I am on the relevant committee to consider such a policy. The way that things get done around here (and I suspect anywhere, pretty much) is that someone grabs something already written somewhere and we tweak it a little.
Carl, do you have a model statement of some kind that I could wave around as a place to start?
The amount of tape is not infinite. It is unbounded.
If I were to define a `book', I would not put a
limit on the number of pages. But no book is
infinite.
The fact that anytime my computer uses up the
space on the floppy, it can signal me and I can
put in another, means that my computer's storage
is unbounded. But my computer's storage is not
infinite.

Two year olds shouldn't be watching TV.
This has nothing to do with freedom of anything, this has to do with the obvious fact that two year olds shouldn't be watching TV.
(In case it *isn't* obvious to you, I'll cite one reason: kids shouldn't be raised by Hasbro.)
However, it shouldn't be. If the radio waves are in my house then I should be able to do whatever I want with them, including demodulating them and listening.
Why *don't* manufacturers encrypt? Is is so the gov'mt can listen? I'm all for catching mobsters too, but it is a big loss for a small return, IMHO
Of course the popular media mean by `hackers' what most of us mean by `crackers'. Script kiddies (or the people who help them by writing the scripts) who need a life so bad that they have nothing else to do but find a way into my system and read my memos (which bore the hell out of *me*) are pitiful.
I yield to no one in my admiration for real hackers, but the attacks are not against them. The attacks are against crackers.
Well, I went to look at the report, but it is $1000. But even without reading it, how can the statements about multiple processors and logging be right?
It *would* be excellent advice if there was a usable choice today. I don't know what banks use. But what we use, NT, isn't something you could stick with unitil the problem is solved. It IS the problem.

A better question is: is she on the right track? Is spending huge numbers of hours on this kind of thing just not good?

A certain Zen-like quality.

So quit.

That would go a long way for us here.
Does anyone know if that recording is online?
I'd very much love to hear it, and have it.

I've had good luck with it.

It does seem to be illegal at this moment.
However, it shouldn't be. If the radio waves are in my house then I should be able to do whatever I want with them, including demodulating them and listening.
