I mean how would you know if this doesn't just send all traffic to a pseudo TOR network setup by the NSA which captures everything you do?
AKA half of Tor, I'd imagine. The point of Tor has never been to evade detection by the NSA. It's to anonymize your internet traffic to prevent the destination service operator from knowing who/where you are. It's essentially a chain of "legitimate," marginally highly-available TCP proxies that anyone can use without having to create or rent a botnet. Hidden services are a nice side effect, or at least were until Silk Road's compromise spooked everyone.
That said, your point stands: there's not enough information about how this magic box works.
I'm with you. I still have UO and Razor installed on this laptop, I wonder if Hybrid is still around. I stopped paying and playing on the OSI shards around my ~10 year mark.
FYI, Richard Garriott is involved in a new project called Shroud of the Avatar which he's gone on record as saying that if he could have bought the naming rights from EA, he literally would have named it "Ultima Online 2." (Ignoring of course the previous attempt/failure at a UO 2 from the EA sie of things.) It's being crowdfunded and there's progress being made, there's a nice demo reel at the official site. Actually now that I just looked, there's a new six-month progress demo that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago.
I'm not a huge fan of the 3D aspect - the 2D/isometric client is a big part of what hooked me into UO before they cranked out their 3D client. But I'm still very much looking forward to Shroud.
Just scroll down a couple of posts. "Quite soon the Wolfram Language is going to start showing up in lots of places, notably on the web and in the cloud."
Once I sued my neighbor because her cat kept defecating in my potted plants. Judge said that I couldn't show any actual monetary damages, so that was the end of that.
Out of sheer curiosity, what if any other remedies did you pursue first? The judge, oddly, was correct: if anything, the cat's feces were "free fertilizer" for you (yes, I agree, that's not how you or I would see it). Without injury or actual damage to property, there isn't really a tort. Animal Control would likely have been a better route.
All that's going to accomplish is to momentarily delay their FaxPress (or whatever) for a little while, and perhaps bombard some email account with a bunch of TIFF or PDF files that they'll delete in a few seconds. You may still own a plain-paper fax, but nobody in the enterprise does anymore.
No, he's understandably concerned that a site which has a pretty specific function and is going to be hammered with traffic for awhile is requiring some 90+KB worth of JavaScript from various.gov and non-.gov systems just to "function." None of that shit should be necessary. At most, perhaps a copy of jQuery served up from a dedicated machine that does nothing but host that crap.
If they are using Windows Server 2003 for their MITM attacks, you would think someone could come up with a way to identify and infect them.
Assuming that information is accurate to begin with, I'm pretty sure NSA knows a thing or two about securely deploying a Windows system on the public internet; after all, they wrote the book on it. And I don't think it would be wise to be "that guy" who goes probing for vulnerabilities on NSA's hardware.
Also, I find it a bit funny that NSA's advice related to the government shutdown is in quote marks: "Due to the Government Shutdown, this site is not being updated."

They have one, but he apparently didn't do his job. FTFA:
Stuart Kreitman, the X.Org Foundation accountant and Oracle employee, wrote during the Board of Directors' IRC meeting this week, "The status of the 501c3 is lost because we (me) failed to file the 3 past years' tax returns on time. Note that we've Never filed returns since our first re-organization to the LLC in 2005. I was taken by surprize that the IRS hit us so rudely. I've had little issues with my own returns and have always found them to be reasonable and friendly."
The summary links to three different categories of items on the auction site, none of which contain the EKG paper. A search on that site for Armstrong yields only three items, all of which are signed photos. The PCMag article links in turn to a local Denver TV station's article, at which point the trail goes cold.
Where is a link to actually view / bid on the item?
That won't work for this particular attack surface, because cPanel installs Apache itself and doesn't use a package manager. As far as rpm is concerned, Apache isn't installed to verify.

Problem solved!

Did anyone else notice that the USA Today logo was custom-tailored to the article? Thought that was a nice touch.
It was a Python blogger who happened to report about it, but Knight's code was not written in Python.
Besides, raccoon can't fly.
Of course they can!

Hands up, who remembers Happy Hardcore's old AOL screen name MrWireFraud?
Sounds like somebody's grammar checker had a blue screen...
...like Bing and Yahoo (whose search results come from Bing).
Yeah, it's not like the service itself is named Bing Ads, or anything.
...for a list of everyone whose communications they've intercepted this year. That ought to keep their printers tied up for awhile.

I learned more from your comment than I've learned from any Slashdot post in a long time. Thanks for contributing!

In the meantime, there is a mirror located here.
So I gotta have a two-factor biometric dongle to login to Bloomberg, but their news staff can see everything I do? Great thinking.
Of course, but a warrant is required for that.
Awesome, you just coined a new term, and I like it.

On what. I've seen the infrastructure. There were no unexpected splitters in the fiber. No unexplained connections in a router.
Not on your premises, perhaps. But your traffic has to leave your facility and go somewhere else, by definition...
rpm -V httpd ?
