The Joltage homepage isn't much help -- it's in place, but content-free. Any other Joltage customers who can comment on this?
Well, the google cache still has the old home page, and from their all the navigation still appears to function, including the registration page etc.
It makes me chuckle when a site only kills the homepage. How hard is it to move the whole site to a new directory, assuming you want to discourage visitors from seeing old content?
I got a variant of this a while back as the "Alabama Virus":
Hello -
This email is to let you know that you've been infected with the Alabama virus. We don't know nothin about programming or computers, so y'all have to send copies of this email to everyone you know and delete your most important files.
My first thought was that jeez, that's only 20 bucks per machine. Calculating 5 minutes or more per machine to install the program (going from computer to computer, from lab to lab over a number of days), plus the time to collect and sift the data, then put it use... He was only was stealing for minimum wage or less.
The hardback was named "POET" and the paperback was issued as "DOET". I worked in a bookstore at the time and had to keep moving the title from Psych to Design, only to find it in Psych again the next time I worked.
Anybody that would willingly buy insurance is at least half-nuts. If you DO buy insurance and DO get broken into they will send out swarms of "adjusters" and question how this could have happened, and how lax your security must be.
I agree. In the article it says that you have to pay $50,000 to have an outside consultant access you security. Then of course there are the insurance premiums...
That kind of $$$ would go a long ways toward paying a security admin and internal security awareness training for your staff.
If they are going to punish someone, it should be the.mil nic admins.
No harm is going to come to the military if someone spoofs their system somehow and registers gaysex.mil and sends it goatse.cx or some other juvenile prank.
If a spoofed site actually got up (no pun intended) the admins can delete the domain in 5 seconds.
However, if they want to make examples of someone its not going to be some 14-year-old who used linux-on-an-xbox to hack their facile domain registration template, its going to be the gatekeepers who had their trousers around their ankles, and their heads in the gaping anus of the goatsecx guy.
If the device is going to take a whole year to crack one key, then any self-respecting terrorist will just change keys more frequently.
Don't forget though, that many times they nab the terrorists and then keep them in prison while they sift his belongings and intercepted communications for evidence connecting him to x,y, and z criminal acts.
There are no "speedy trials" for these guys, they just barely finished up proceedings on guys suspected on the original bombing of the trade center, when they used explosives in rental trucks in the parking garages.
You could always ask Kevin Mitnick call up the director's secretary and tell her that he's from the security division and he just needs the key to confirm that they are using the right one.
"Sure, just read it the key right off the post-it note on your monitor..."
Are you trying to suggest that without hunting, wild populations would die out?
As a matter of fact, as you can see in this article from the NYT, it is extremely important to manage the deer population, or else you end up with a bunch of starving deer.
My grandfather was a licensed hunter in Germany (one of the very few exceptions to their strict firearm laws), and they used very scientific methods to determine how many deer could be sustained per hectare of forest and what not, and had to cull the herd when the population increased to certain levels, and ceased hunting altogether when changes (a disease, or whatever) made the population too low.
Yes, it is a natural cycle that has been repeating for hundreds of thousands of years, but no one wants a starved deer staggering through their neighborhood trying to forage on your front lawn because there isn't enough food to go around in the region's wooded areas.

and then, 20 years later I'd get it.
I'm curious, where does the 5-10% number come from?
Check out Google's zeitgeist page, it shows a graph of user stats for which browser has been accessing them since March 2001.
Here is the NASA site with impact photos of the Mir, the space shuttle and another satellite called the LDEF: http://hitf.jsc.nasa.gov/hitfpub/problem/actualimp acts.html.

your names is Scott, I imagine their are shitloads of people with the same name as you.
Yeah, but how many people do you know whose last name is 1853?

You have to enter a lot of the song information by hand...
That's funny, most of the stuff I download, doesn't have *any* ID3 info.
Most rippers connect with CDDB or FreeDB anyway, so at least you can get the titles and album info automagically.
There was a PBS program about Boggs during a visit the US. If you can see it, it is definitely worth seeing.
There are some examples of his work, interview transcript and whatnot.

I would say something that has happened within the past 20 - 30 years definitely qualifies as "recent history".
I suppose, now your argument will be that this supposed 5 year old (who by the way is CowboyNeal), was referring to his web browser's history cache?
The government should spend more money on education for idiots like you.

Couldn't we just call it "the system formerly known as Palladium".
It worked for Prince.
They spend lots of $$ protecting everything from radiation on these craft, does NASA think we are that stupid?
;)
How much could a roll of tinfoil cost? 99 cents? That won't exactly break the NASA budget, even with their "faster, cheaper, better" program policy.
Awesome. I consider America's Army to be one of the best things my government has funded within recent history.
Funny, I would have thought that the internet would have been one of the best things funded by the goverment in recent history...
I see they're sending spice bees [spacebees.li]
I guess NASA knows that "He who controls the spice, controls the universe".
I think I am going to hold out til 2016 to buy a new gaming console.
