If your P2P software uses dynamic ports, which is likely the case, then those random port assignments will always be greater than or equal to 1024, making it safe to block port 25.
A percentage of your bank account balance is used to finance others' debts and, as a consequence, the bank earns a return through interest on those debts and other investments to help keep your checking account "free," amoung other things. Of course, not all of it is lent out; people still need to withdraw cash and write checks to other banks on a continuous basis. It is enough, however, that if most or all of a bank's customers decided to withdraw all of their money at the same time, the bank would be totally doomed (a "run" on the bank).

Hmm.. I didn't know I could do up2date --upgrade.. I downloaded the four CDs off of BitTorrent and installed off of those, telling it to upgrade the RedHat 9 installation that it found. By saying "in-place upgrade," it probably sounded like I ran up2date, though I meant that I ran an upgrade rather than re-installing everything from scratch.
It's actually the first time that I ran an OS upgrade on an existing installation over the past 5 or so years. From experience, it had pretty much been a given that OSes are upgraded by performing a from-scratch install, though that's probably my trauma from Windows speaking;-).
..At least, for me it is. I performed an in-place upgrade of my RedHat 9 firewall/web/mail box a couple weeks ago and, except for converting existing mail from Berkeley to Cyrus-IMAPd, exerything happened automatically and seamlessly. My web server, Postfix mail setup, SSH, and firewall rules were perfectly preserved, much to my delight.
The only slight gripe is that I had to manually find and run the mail conversion scripts so that I can see my mail in IMAP again, since Cyrus-IMAPd uses its own format separate from the former UW-IMAPd.
I'm much happier with Cyrus-IMAPd than I was with UW-IMAPd, and I was even able to get IMAPs and SMTPs up and running with instructions that I found on Google. I'm actually considering Fedora Core 2 as an upgrade path to the ye olde Exchange 5.5 on NT4 at work, since it runs so well at home.
Fedora Core 2 Kerberized and SASLized pretty much everything, making it much easier to set up secure services than it was in previous RedHat versions (though, I haven't tried Fedora Core 1, nor will I probably ever). No more need to recompile everything to get TLS, SSL and other things in IMAP, SMTP, HTTP, and other services:-)!
Try SourceForge's Compile Farm. They have a couple OS X boxes that are exactly what you are wishing for. All you need is an open-source project hosted on SourceForge, as far as I remember..
Wow. Think of what you're saying. You're telling users that they need to shell out almost a hundred bucks for a device that will allow them to safely download updates. Has Microsoft security gotten so bad that we're just going to accept that you need to buy a firewall just keep your OS up to date?
Yes. I thought this was widely understood.
Of course, a properly-configured OS X or Linux box doesn't need this level of isolation. Linux can even be used as the firewall, and in many places, it is. You can use Windows as a firewall, but that's just asking for it;-)
Nice picture, though the text begged me to reply;-). While I agree on your technology stances, I disagree with all of your other positions. As a happily married non-religious gay man in San Francisco who works for a non-profit AIDS Service Organization with ties to Planned Parenthood and who wants limits on gun ownership while increasing strongly-enforced bans on smoking and second-hand smoke, I believe that I am almost the complete antithesis of what you stand for;-). Being a card-carrying member of the ACLU as well as the HRC, Lamba Legal, GLADD, and others probably solidifies my oppositeness to you as well;-).
Though, if you saw me in person, you'd probably swear that I'm a Republican;-), even though I'm not.
At least the country's still free enough to say that with a sense of humor;-) (and it's all true, too).
But anyway, best of luck on the election, and I hope your service to your state and to the national community in general will be mutually beneficial and help us bust the RIAA/MPAA cartels as well as the DMCA! (and, depending on how things go, the Patriot Act as well, though the RIAA/MPAA and DMCA are enough to fill a plate for years as-is).
"So ear's the deal:" I had to look at it twice, but he actually did say -0.01 because it was enclosed in parentheses, which is another way of saying "negative."
It sucks when journalists dumb down stuff or round off things to make it easier to understand for a general audience, since it makes it somewhat useless for quoting as exact figures or using in further calculations.
The fiber-optic gyroscope is probably a navigational aid rather than one that produces motion, and the ones on the space station are the type that produce motion and force.
Though, it would be very interesting if a force-producing gyroscope can be created using no moving parts. So Star-Trekish, but cool:-).
Although it has many commas, it still is grammatically correct. The thing that threw me is the comma after Boies, since it's used to describe David Boies instead of returning to the previous phrase. It's actually three different phrase levels, which can, as you already noticed, decrease readability.

If a firewall wanted to kill an inactive connection or was shutting down (or a peer's hardware was shutting down), a RST can close the connection without having to wait for the remote side to respond, which might or might not actually respond. A RST says, "It's so o-ver! Talk to the hand 'cause the face ain't listenin!"
Normally, a bidirectional close already occurs on TCP closes. A peer sends a FIN to the remote side after flushing its output queue on the connection. The remote side receives the FIN and usually responds by flushing its output queue and then sending a FIN. Once the original peer receives the last data and the FIN from the remote side, the connection is considered formally closed (some other traffic might take place, but this is the basic principle).
It's probably possible to add an extra step to the bidirectional close method, though that doesn't solve the RST problem, and adding a three-way close to RST may result in significantly larger numbers of lingering connections on peers when intermediate firewalls and routers close connections.
Actually, Mozilla has Mozilla Calendar (separate install), which does calendaring and task lists. I'm not sure about the extent of integration, nor do I use it myself, but it's one option and it uses the iCalendar protocol, from what I remember, for sharing calendars with others in an office and around the world.
Last I tried, though, the UI was a bit too slow for me, but I'll give it another shot now..
True, but e-voting systems come with a twist. Rather than holding a company or entity responsible, a government with the proper resources can hold itself accountable if it has reviewed and openly modified the system. Of course, there are downsides to that, as the government probably doesn't want to use itself as a scapegoat.
But anyway, at the bottom of the PDF file you will find that they are an organized corporation, so this system does have a corporation that is accountable:-).
One thing that struck me as odd about the United Corporations of America is that they're all competing against each other and trying to screw each other over to maximize shareholder value, which makes them hardly United;-). Perhaps the Competing Corporations of America would be most appropriate;-).
I'm in the middle of phasing out my MBNA card for the same reason (plus, I now want to earn miles instead of benefitting my alma mater).
I called them about a month ago to complain. The tech guy on the phone recommended using Internet Explorer, even though I'm on a Mac. I have IE, but that thing is a slow dog on Panther:-(. On the next billing cycle, I installed the UAbar, but am waiting for my new card with air miles from another bank that I know works with Mozilla:-).
Funny thing is that MBNA doesn't work in Safari, either, giving the exact same error message of it being an old version of Netscape. Bah! And the "new" Checkfree system tries to trick you up by making the default payment date equal to the payment due date rather than the old system's more-sensible first available date. Grace periods don't apply if you're carrying a balance forward, so every day counts! (and they know it, too)
That's what the UAbar is for.
It works great for me on MBNA America's site. Funny thing, it worked perfectly before they "upgraded" their payment section to their new system, but now it says that I'm running an old version of Netscape. With the UAbar set to IE6 on XP -- the epitome of web browsing in the eyes of Checkfree and MBNA, apparently -- it works without a hitch.
Wow! I totally don't feel alone anymore; I'M EXACTLY IN THE SAME BOAT!
I run a web/DHCP/webmail/postfix/DNS/blah server for my on-the-side home business and have loved using RedHat 9 as it was easy to set up and automatically downloads and installs the latest security patches and only bothers me when something goes wrong, which was rare.
I sent an e-mail message to RedHat's Sales Support asking about my use case because I cannot currently afford the server product but am definitely willing to pay for up2date as I have in the past. I only got an automated "we-received-your-message" response, making no promises about it ever being answered.
I'm a long-time RedHat user with a RHCE (in 6.2, though), and I'm ready to throw in the towel for now. My coworker has shown me Debian, and I recently was able to successfully bring up and secure an OpenVPN system for my main job for doing VPN-over-TCP using Debian, marking my first experience with Debian! I set up another Debian box just this morning in our training room on an NT system that was seriously foo-bared by a former volunteer, and although the setup of X11 wasn't as automated as I would have liked (I had to ultimately manually edit/etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and fortunately I remembered how to do it from years past), I was able to bring up a pretty stable system:-), though I had difficulty when I tried to use kernel 2.6.0.
I'm still running RedHat 9 at home because I haven't staged a Debian version of my firewall/router/everything system on another box yet, but it's on my to-do list for the near future. I'll actually miss RedHat Network, but I think Debian will be good to me and my career. (Incidentally, my RHCE didn't get me my current job, and I'm not sure if it had any impact on my career, though I'm sure that it didn't hurt; I work in a Windows shop:-(, but doing Java Swing development:-).

Use `up2date -u`. I think it's also possible to use `yum` or other commands, though I'm still in the process of getting up-to-speed with Fedora 2..

Of course, on a low-carb diet, I probably won't try Fanta any time soon with all the sugar it has. At least the music is catchy
Sounds like you need Mozilla's Click-to-Play Flash Extension.
