If you don't want to play by their rules, get a
nice third level domain for free from one of the many places offering them, such as dhs.org, and
say the extra 4 characters next time you tell someone your website. Or perhaps even better (until
we fix browsers to properly use DNS records), use a web forwarding service. dhs.org has one of
those too.
...and rely on them not to change their policy, go bankrupt or whatsoever to make you change your URL on all your documents. Lifetime-E-Mail-address or -URL is only possible with something you own, i.e. your own domain name!
Reading the press release on the site of the state government, I am astonished to see 12 other providers in NRW are still blocking the sites.
The article says that the government threatened the ISPs with fees up to 1 Million DM if they don't comply. ISIS forwarded e-mails concerning the matter to the government. The article ends with bashing on ISIS for taking back their measures.
This comment no longer makes sense, as the original article got changed! It was different the first time I read it.
Does this bother anyone else?
It reminds me a little of Orwells 1984 - changing the past? The ranting about Quicktime has never been there, has it?
How many Slashdot-Articles got changed later on, and how many will?
An update (as usual) would have done...
Finally, information anarchy threatens to undo much of the progress made in recent years with regard to
encouraging vendors to openly address security vulnerabilities. At the end of the day, a vendor?s
paramount responsibility is to its customers, not to a self-described security community. If openly
addressing vulnerabilities inevitably leads to those vulnerabilities being exploited, vendors will have no
choice but to find other ways to protect their customers.
Crap...I'm trying to find a problem with the logic, but I can't actually understand the argument - anyone?
What other ways are there for vendors to protect their customers than put out fixes? Making funny licenses and sueing people for publishing exploits? (That's how it sounds to me)
The only countries that used these back when I made my recordings of such messages all over the world (heck, it was free:-), only the US and Germany used them. OK, it's been a while since I recorded them.
Unluckily most "international" error messages today are from your local phone company:-(
That sounds quite cool.
Do you know if takeover 2k2 is going to be
in Eindhoven as well?
(that would yet be another good reason the be an exchange student here, which I am right now:-)
Have a look at this site for some information about anonymous publishing. I found the method they used quite interesting, not too easy to think of it... But I don't know if there are actually servers available that do stuff like this or if all of this is only purely theoretical...
