My appologies; it's questionably illegal in the US to open up the thing and modify it to "circumvent copy protection mechanisms" which region encoding is arguably.
If you're working for a company just get a decent server with hardware RAID. Dell's servers use Perc2 or 3 cards which can support upto a metric buttload of drives (12-16? not including 2-4 external connectors). Win2k can use all of the cards nicely and will let the controller do its thing. Most Linux distros come with drivers for them too if you want to make sure you aren't stuck with win2k.
Poweredge 2550's can carry 4 drives and are fairly cheap by company standards (~$5k decked out).
Notice: I do not work for Dell, but I am a Windows admin for a company that does buy from Dell
One trick that helps is using NT resource kit's srvany to install SSHD as a service instead of cygwin's service installer. A google search can show you how. But then again a simple google search could've prevented this whole article...
Until of course the remote server is comprimised and suddenly explorer.exe is an untrusted binary and every windows machine in the world shits a brick.
If memory serves the numbers are continuous, but the actual element at the number may not be producable (because other atomic structures are more desirable). Or more likely they are producable, but only in very specific conditions, by spending alot of energy, and even then they won't exist very long before decaying into something more stable.
Surely the *rest* of the US government is wholy efficient in their use of money...
imo that cannot be fixed, and thus the best way to solve NASA is to toss more money, especially given the at least triple digit times more cash that's spent on bombing people.
I do agree on privatization as the "best" way to do things in space, though I am as wary, if not more wary, of corperations as I am the US government.
This sounds an awful bit like something influenced alot by NASA in order to get a bigger budget. I think everyone on slashdot would agree that doubling or tripling NASA's budget would be better than sending cash to Israel, or sending that extra fighter wing to the "war against terrorism", or even wasting it on keeping pot smokers in jail...
The problem with many of the statistics from this test is that the management software was considered equal to the actual IDS machines. The "uptime" was actually garnered from the management software staying connected for the entire period. Given all of the complaints about java consoles being sluggish, I can only wonder at what the console machine was...
From reports of the test the "wu-ftpd" exploit used wasn't an actual exploit, but was only a replay of one of the signatures of a decade old exploit. Since not all of the systems use signature detection, and since the "exploit" didn't actually exploit anything (*gasp*) some of the IDS systems didn't pick it up.
Unfortunately the main record of every day users will probably be Slashdot archives, IRC logs, and web forum flames. Historians of the future will wonder how we ever evolved from the barbarism...
Note that even in windows every task can be completed with a keyboard, and the command line can do tab completion. Nearly every *nix shell does it better, but it does exist nicely on win32
The article makes good points, all of which are pretty common knowledge. All of the points, with the exception of replacing X though are pretty easily done.
Here's the thing though: nobody's doing them. Could someone write a package manager that hid all of the "critical" packages? Sure. Could someone write something to autodetect hardware, recompile or add a module for hardware? Yeah.
People that write for Linux don't though, because they don't want it. People don't need it. Linux isn't an OS for your mom or your gandmother. It's an OS for elitist nerdy shmucks who code a little and want to dabble with their OS.

High Score

· Score: 2
My workplace has a pinball machine and dreamcast as a fixture. It's always impressive to see the pinball high scores come up with CEO xx,xxx,xxx every so often.
I heard of a few places in SFbay like the gaming parlors. Pretty much a dance club that's back room is a lan center.
Actually as far as I can tell the major limiting factors now wrt to graphics cards is heat and powersupply issues. About half of the people I know with a GF4 have had to make major modifications just to get the card displaying properly. Joe average doesn't want to swap power supplies, or add cooling fans; hell, Joe Average took alot of work just opening the case to put the card in...
Plus if anyone remembers ATI did this before with another MAXX card that suffered horribly from limited, crappy drivers that assumed too much, and didn't work. Good idea, bad irl.
Well what I was more going at was understanding what *could* be bad and what couldn't. Alot of unknowing admins let alot of things go that are potentially very very bad (plaintext passwords, user installed software, etc) and imo knowing coding can help the admin know what can be done.
As for inside jobs, it's actually 60% (give or take) of actual FBI cases...
I'd also recommend spending some of the cash on a programming course if you've not taken one. Generally something in C would be best as it's one of the most common (and low-level and broken) languages. Understanding the bugs that can lead to exploits can help alot in understanding exploits themselves.
Intro Cisco courses are also a great help in the same vein as the first bit of the course goes over networking details if you're mainly a systems admin, and aren't up to snuff on the details of networking.
Companies such as that still exist; but they weren't built on naivete or hype. They were built on products that were usable in the marketplace. Those companies that don't discriminate against youngin's get their skills, usually for less $$$ because their demand isn't so high.
My company has 3 21 and at least 6 25. We're still going well, even in these times.
Sorry guys, I loved it back when it was just the FTP search. Adding a place where artists could host stuff: great. Requiring a lameass client software riddled with spyware and adware: inexcusable.
Maybe AG should just be a promoter or distributor for the musicians instead of trying to be a napsterclone. Stick it to the RIAA that way.
I have an asus 266D. It runs very nicely (albeit hot) and has for some time. It cost me ~$150 about 3-4 months ago. I have an Enermax 400W which has been fine, even with a gf2 64m and 3 hard drives in the box.
Einux is a proper company that sells dual athlon machines in 1-2u cases for companies.
Slashdot Mirror
I concur that it is not copy protection, but many people (read: corperations) argue that region encoding prevents the spead of illegally copied games.
My appologies; it's questionably illegal in the US to open up the thing and modify it to "circumvent copy protection mechanisms" which region encoding is arguably.
It's not terribly cut and dry.
No, but putting a chip in a PS2 to play Japanese games isn't morally questionable, but just as illegal.

Indeed, but wasn't the original poster saying that the main point was that the servers would *not* be controlled wholy by Microsoft?

Yeah, cable providers now make it even easier for the guy down the street to eat all of your bandwidth (and possibly files).
Sorry guys, DSL's fine for me.
So you can fight with the other admins over the vnc connection and you aren't even close enough to smack them if they force you off?

Well of course we won't, but the majority of people cannot think unbaisedly enough to consider themselves barbaric.

How are they going to power the thing?
