The other thing we told the record companies was that if you go to Kazaa to download a song, the experience is not very good. You type in a song name, you don't get back a song -- you get a hundred, on a hundred different computers. You try to download one, and, you know, the person has a slow connection, and it craps out. And after two or three have crapped out, you finally download a song, and four seconds are cut off, because it was encoded by a ten-year-old. By the time you get your song, it's taken fifteen minutes. So that means you can download four an hour. Now some people are willing to do that. But a lot of people aren't.
If there is a way to download high-quality stuff quickly, people will use your service. It is that simple. In addition, you have to be able to sample what you are are buying, and be able to download just what you like...the day of the CD with one good song on it is hopefully drawing to a close.
Whoever admins that sever isn't too bright. The error indicates too many connections. Common sense and basic experience tells you to use a single persistent connection between your web server and your database backend. Sheesh. Of course, it would still get slashdotted, but at least it's not trying to deal with 1000's of separate sql connections then.
I sure hope you don't think you are really secure by simply enabling mac filtering. At least use WEP too. Even the windoze drivers for most cards allow lusers to easily change their card's mac address. It's trivial to capture valid MAC addresses using tools like kismet.
Try using bayesian filtering and feeding to sa-learn your spam and your ham. I actually just created another account on my mail server called 'spam'. It's sole procmail recipe is to pipe to sa-learn as spam. So when one sneaks through, I just bounce it to 'spam', and it is handled. You could do the same thing for 'ham' to help with false positives.
Spamassassin has been working great for me, until recently. There is some mortgage spam circulating that seems to have bayesian-busters in it. The normal message has a list of random words at the top of every message. It seems that spamassassin alone would possibly flag it, but bayesian filtering is lowering its score?
Bullshit. Could you describe how this would be possible? Is Pine or Balsa or [your email application here] integrated into the OS and have full access and scripting ability on your machine? Does it automatically run code and have the ability to add services to your computer that run automatically on startup? If this is possible I'd like to know how.
well, in all fairness, if linux becomes popular, you'll get that crap on luser desktops eventually. It's already part of Star/Open Office.
If there are programs that you run normally, and you know the whole list, you could write a little daemon to keep track of the process list. If something else starts running, have it alert you. Sort of a less-sophisticated version of tripwire. Of course, the attacker could name his executable the same as yours, or overwrite yours, but it is better than nothing.
in *linux*? Linux is just a kernel. Administrators can easily not run, or fix any service that has a problem. The issue with the crap that comes from M$ land is that you CAN'T disable the shit you never use. It breaks all kinds of apps...the RPC worms this year, for example.
To me at least, is AOL's decision this year block mail from 'cable modem' address space. As someone who runs his own servers, I am now forced to smart-relay through my ISP...which adds all types of problems, their incompetence at properly configuring *THEIR* servers at the top of the list.
Yeah, I'd like to say to the AOL users on my lists 'tough luck', but I cannot do that.
They'd rather make humans pay as eternal slaves. Perhaps the humans are more than just power supplies. Perhaps their wetware is what gives the machines their intelligence and processing ability, and THAT is the main reason they are all jacked in...a beowulf cluster of humans, if you will.
Not necessarily. The ships obviously connect to the matrix via wireless. What if Neo had something in addition to his plugs which allowed him to 'jack in' via wireless as well? He could control the machines.
I didn't like the last movie as much as I would have. I think the second movie asked too many questions, and the final movie didn't answer any of them.
I guess the simplest way is of looking at things was a transformation of emphasis from the matrix in the first, a bit of real world in the second, to mostly real world in the final...which is why most of the matrix questions remained unanswered.
A switch will not stop someone from sniffing. Ever hear of ettercap? Someone else suggested that net/net on the Internet would likely be over IPSec. That is fine, but what about internally? That is where the real threat is, and always has been.
I'd test it on a segregated network, and when I figured it worked as I wanted, I'd go to the public library, Internet cafe, or even better, non-secured access point to launch the thing. How, exactly is one supposed to track who releases a virus? Then there's always just trojaning it onto an AOL install CD and then swapping CD's at the post office, wal-mart, sheetz, etc, which always has hundreds of the things.
And what happens when that company's private network needs to merge with another's, via private wan link, or worse yet, IPSec? Sorry, but using NAT instead of guaranteeing unique address space for everyone's networks is causing many more problems than it is solving.
Even if you want to offer free access to the world, you should segregate that network with a firewall and definitely filter certain types of traffic. Ideally, you should only allow access to your other machines on your own network from the WiFi by using IPSec.
I don't even have a windoze/mac machine here, and even if I did, I hate having plugins for this kind of thing. Your trick for grabbing the source works great. Thanks!
Your obviously not the type that has built his own "entertainment pc" so that you have full access to everything even while sitting at the couch with your wireless keyboard.
Maps are better, directions suck. They insist on using road names, not route numbers. Pretty much useless.
Regardless of whichever online map thing I use, however, I always use it only for a rough estimate. Then go to a real paper map and find the best route.

So, we are to believe that all of a sudden, man/machine decides to just drop everything and live in harmony. Uh huh.

Has anybody else seen this?
well, in all fairness, if linux becomes popular, you'll get that crap on luser desktops eventually. It's already part of Star/Open Office.
And what, exactly, is your explanation for the amount of remote exploits in IIS vs. Apache, mr. statistics?
But sadly true. Antivirus software IS a virus, IMO. Stealing system resources constantly. Adding wear to your hard drive, etc.
If there are programs that you run normally, and you know the whole list, you could write a little daemon to keep track of the process list. If something else starts running, have it alert you.

But the other day, I walked by our fax machine to find a nigerian scam fax. *sigh*.
Except that services running on linux are not linux. What, exactly, are they going to 'test'?

Phase 1) Write Virus
Phase 2) Launch from Ex-G/f's and her new B/f's computers
Phase 3) Turn them both in....PROFIT!
