I wonder how long it will take the M$ team to start churning out response articles alleging that Open Source is destroying capitalism.
Open Source helps capitalism. These companies that have implemented, and then contributed any changes back into the community have saved time and money. This saving from not re-inventing the wheel benefits employees (who can spend more time innovating), managers, shareholders etc. Microsoft have no argument against Open Source (in terms of the development model, rather than technical advantages (if any still exist)), see The Halloween Documents
Well, first you have to consider that DOS, for the most part, is 100% assembly;
No its not, the source to MS-DOS was floating around a while ago, mostly C (depends if you are talking about just command.com and the other key files, or "userland" apps as well).
The comments in the header of fdisk.c included something along the lines of (paraphrase) "I only recently learnt C so this is a bit messy". Sure was.
Within a few hours, 25,000 back-end database servers had been infected, said Oliver Friedrichs, senior manager with Symantec Corp.'s security response team.
If they where truly 'backend', they wouldnt of been infected. This is because of all those open and live MS SQL servers.
and SPAM is just a part of it. CAPTCHA systems are very critical, they are used to distinguish a human from a computer. Paypal have such a system on their signup forms, it is to prevent bots from automagically creating accounts and then use the account to launder money (thus bypassing Paypals individual account value limit). This has great implications for people looking into *content protection*. Though if anybody had bothered to read the accompanying research paper, you would see that the creators indicated that CAPTCHA systems are not full-proof.
The easiest method that an attacker could use to bypass a CAPTCHA would be to involve a human at that step of the process, and only for that part of it. Leaving the more mundane tasks for the machine (after all, that is what machines are for). It could simply extract the images and present them one after another to a human, or the attacker could even relay these images and entry boxes to users on their *own* sites to enter. Either way the CAPTCHA system adds a slight overhead on the human, with the bot still performing 99% of the task.

Nikola Tesla used to sleep two hours a night, as reported in a biography (Nikola Tesla: Prodigal Genius). It is about keeping the mind occupied.
7) Most businesses don't require a huge amount of money investment. I would never spend more than $5000 in a business venture. You will fuck up your first 10 businesses, and it would suck to loose more than that. In fact, I would start your first 5 with no more than $100. You can run most businesses out of your garage with a phone, some business cards, and word of mouth.
$100? Maybe that is why your businesses are fucking up so much.

If you are using PHP, you can keep session state across multiple servers two ways.
1. If you are using file based session storage, in your php.ini set the session save path to a NFS share on one server.
2. (recommended) PHP has support to use a MySQL database to store session information, you could run a single database server to store all session information.
the company that takes care of access has a series of proxy servers (one in each school, then a set of master proxy servers that they peer off) that have a list of 'blocked' sites (basically Squid ACL's), interfaces are often provided at a school level so that teachers/supervisors can add sites. Squid becomes rather slow and clunky with such a large list.
Since the government is paying for this scheme, and since they own all the infrastucture, i think they have every right to deny/allow access to resources based on what they deem 'unworthy' for educational purposes.
You cant really complain about something that you are getting for free, and is obviously a good initiative to educate students on making the most out of the information avaliable on the net as well as training them in using email and their web space..

Both the GPL and the BSD licenses maintain copyright, "public domain" is intellectual property with no copyright and no rights reserved.

Incorrect, it makes its money on services. Hence the IBM Global Services division with 140,000 employees that was created as part of the shift.

Most buddhist temples I see arnt run-down shacks.
but that would effectively mean that the UK had declared war on another nation. That wouldn't be a particularly good PR exercise.
I guess we would have to get the US 'coalition' to attack then..
Sony makes a lot of their money off of disk licensing fees.
Correction, they make all of their money off licensing fees. The consoles are sold at a loss.

If your sshd binary is not suid root (dont see how it can not be), then an attacker will not be able to get root privs.
use telnet, or another instance of sshd.
