I think this would be more targeted towards the large busness enviroment, like a voicemail system. Then it wouldn't really matter too much if your company had access to the phone numbers stored in the address book. However if this were to be depolyed to replace service from Verizon it would need some revamping for privicy concerns.
Networking merit badges?
When did those come out?
The closest thing to computers is the Computers merit badge and that requires you to make a spread sheet and draw a campsite diagram. A few other things but those were the most diffacult!
Sad isn't it?
its easy to fix. you either null route the ip that they are using or you just block their mac address. If they are clever enough to bypass that setup an authencation scheme or rate limit their ip.

So its my Solaris 8 web server and all my friends linksys router/switches spreading code red?
Perhaps you should come off your high and mighty stance and relize that most users don't give a shit about it. If @home had sent out an email to all their users saying 'click here to run a program that will secure your program' and have the program close/patch these holes they could solve the problem in no time. But they took the lazy way out and just added a line of configuration to their routers. Why the fuck don't they just give us all non routable ips, that will prevent the spread of anything like code red and keep people from using servers. (Note there is a cable ISP in the southwest who does do this, it takes 3-6 months to get a real ip from them)
Really you know of a host that will give me 20gb of space and a server with php extentions compiled with image-lib support for $10/month?
Where might this awesome place be?

um, so why don't they kick off all the people running windows without firewalls? Last I checked, all versions of windows defaultly have servers running. You know port 139? SMB?
Damn I was wondering how ads kept popping up on my friends computer. Hmm, wonder if its a seprete installer or if the EULA allows them to install 3rd party software with their software. Anyone know?
Um probably because most lawyers don't work for free and it takes a little bit of time to learn about law and stuff like that. How would you like it if the next time you needed an operation your doctor was just some bum off the street who was working for shits and giggles?
Didn't the Sun guy say something that was almost identical to what the Unibomber said? But he got published in Wired (before it sucked maybe?) and people listened to him.
On a related tangent, why does Katz quote a criminal? It doesn't add anything to his arguement. Infact beliving what a semi-psycotic criminal says might undermind his stance.
Wow That really sucks, but perhaps smaller sites can benift from the money taken in and stay alive. Not like the current downturn which has killed off many smaller sites
uh did you read the article?
It explicity states that the astronaut corp. isn't all white, male. In fact it says that there is a surprising number of women and minority, not like the steroytipical astronauts.
What they aren't telling us is that the downtime was so that they could make the whole system Echlon and Carnivor compilent. Before they used double rot-13 encryption but the NSA and FBI said that it was too strong for the needs of MSN users. So Microsoft caved in and compiled and removed the ultra secure encryption
BBN was and probably still is a consulting firm which has tons of projects. It was orgianally an archtechural firm however with the advent of ARPA net they created the custom hardware/software to interface each mainframe node to each other. From there they grew into more internet related things. I think they ignored the personal computer which brought about a downfall. But they have almost always been in the military R&D area
Apparently you don't know too much about cluster communcations. In order for a node in a cluster to communcate using TCP/IP the packets have to go from data to being encapsulated into TCP and then IP all the way down to the ethernet frames. However on a cluster speed is a critical factor and if the each node had to do this, no matter how fast the network, the network cards would be the bottleneck. So if you scale TCP/IP to a couple of thousand processors all of which need almost realtime communcation, then yes its got a few large limitations, mainly the speed at which packets can be created and sent and unencapsualted. The internet works because you can live with that 30ms ping time, but with a cluster they want ping times of under 1ms.
So because they don't support his speech they are allowed to sue him, expel him and confisctate his intelectual property? So if/. doesn't like your speech they can declare that they own your comments and pursue legal action?
Sounds like he is getting the short end of the stick.
It wasn't that clear, but its not that the top 200 have more money then the world govt. combined. But they do have more money then the world govt. minus the top ten combined. So that's not counting places like the US, China, etc.
You seem to of missed the big point with this worm. It only gets in though a back door left by the l1on (or whatever) worm. Therefore, if you secured the system in the first place neither would of gotten though
I think his point was, there is a helpful virus for linux. How many helpful viruses do you know of (in the wild) for windows? Not the lack of destructive viruses, although if 1/4 of linux worms are helpful (Ramen, Lion, Adore, Cheese) that's a hell of a lot more then on a windows based platform.

Acutally in Japan I heard that the corps there have private armies to get around the fact that japan can't have a military because of the WWII treaty.

How is working with RMS? If compromise is needed does he give in or does he stick to his line no matter what?

More obvious stuff from Katz. Although this does relate to the previous articles about games and kids, why doesn't he let us draw our own conculions?

Nope doesn't look like it will be too hard to crack this one.

Wait you mean the l1on worm has a legit purpose?
Someone uses that as a company tool?
For some reason I don't think too many VLC use linux worms to install backdoors on their computers.
