I saw another poster say you can stop the GRUB client from crawling porn, but what if you could pick the types of content you wanted to crawl for?
Let's say for example I use search engines but find them lacking or would like better results for the types of content I SEARCH FOR???
So one solution would just be to pick the types of content manually, or select keywords, etc, manually....
Another option might be to sniff my use of Google.com or Altavista.com (is that still up?;) and then help the Engines refine the content in its indexes according to what I ACTUALLY SEARCHED FOR???
Since there is not any monetary incentive to run the client, and you won't find any Aliens (but maybe some freaks;), give the user (client) the ability to improve results for things that matter to them....
However, I don't think very much high-end telco/ISP equipment was really designed to duplicate packets to someone other than the intended recipient
I'm not much of a network guy, but in cisco lingo it is called "port span" which will echo the packet set to or from a port TO ANOTHER PORT. Just hook up a sniffer to the "spanned" port and you can listen to all the packets.
ISPs do this for their _secret_ monitoring / gov't-email-spying stuff. ISPs do it to find why they are having a network problem by monitoring the packets on a switched network without putting a hub in the middle.
If you do the span thing on a switch port that has a router on the other end you can see all packets leaving/entering the router.
Granted this captures a LOT of traffic, but if the monitoring box just drops stuff it doesnt want, the load is lighter (filters).
Here is a cisco doc on the topic: Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) feature
p.s., how do I get rid of the other stuff, so it only prints the email from -jd and not this entire thread from www.slashdot.org?
p.p.s. Can you post another copy of the email, but this time, make it so that it looks like the email is actually to me?!(joejoejoejoe@slashdot.org). I'll print that one instead, once you give me the instructions i need.
Try playing Dayofdefeat (dod, or www.dayofdefeatmod.com). Do on dod_avalanche, learn the bugs, the nade-bugs, and then once you make sure not to do those, see how good you are. My guess is that you suck.
Spend some time learning a game and try to master it. And if you are playing on dialup and have a 486, you can never beat the rest of the "dudes on the internet".
(fist, search on www.gametiger.com , for me.)
And here is one example that you asked for: If a player can shoot while reloading, i think they may have switched weapons, which aborts the reload process, and they killed you. If they are reloading and just shoot you, without having to change weapons, then MAYBE you have something to worry about, but I DOUBT it.
Seriously, play on servers that require punkbuster and you should be safe from cheaters and I bet you will still suck.
B/C PA needs an open ended way to attack anyone they feel like attacking.
in other words, yeah, exactly, if they had a target to pin the bulls-eye on, they would, so instead they blame the guys proiding access (can you say newsgroups?).
Kiddie porn is bad. If the government know where it is, it should be THEIR job to stop the spread of it, not some ISP.
What if the site is via a membership. Should every ISP join EVERY site that their members (who get only access to the Internet) join, so they can validate the legality of the site? And if they get it wrong, because they dont have the forensics to get it right, are they still responsible? and is this even a viable way to do it? NO IT IS NOT. Merely viewing child porn is a crime, even if you are trying to find it, to block it. It is the classic chicken and the egg (catch-22): To find it, you need to view it. To ban it you need to find it. To block it you need to find it. So to block it, you need to view it, which is against the law (UNLESS THE GOVT PROVIDES THE LIST, which the cannot???!!!...
Well, my comment is on your sig, and the spot a cheater.
I generally think that if you are so careless in considering someome a cheater is CS or DoD you're just a sucky player who can only imagine being beaten by a cheater, not a player with more skill than yourself.
Just about everyone of the things you described can be attributed to skill or scripts (both legal).
Play some more, try to get better, and if you still think everyone is a cheater, realize this: YOU SUCK.
And if you hate all these "cheaters" so much, play on a server with Punkbuster and stfu and again, realize this: YOU STILL SUCK and everyone else is NOT A CHEATER.
Btw, I have been called a cheater b/c I use strategy, have learned from past engagements, and sometimes just use dumb luck to shot an MG thru a wall and score a hit.
The kicker is the recently released Slashdot plugin, which allows authentication of Windows clients with... yup you guessed it, Slashdot Accounts!
Heh, i read the blurb, not the article (yet) but hell, THIS KICKS ASS!

This is cool and all, but these days worms and virii select victims at random so your fingerprint won't make a damn bit of difference, except you might think you are a bit safer but you are not.
Is it possible that they had 10 employees at Wired with these modems, and they found 9 of the 10 had the default password? If they got the oK from the 10 employees, it's not hacking.
While this may be unlikely, I haven't read a single post saying this *might* have been what happened...
It irks me on stock quotes too. But it is just b/c the graph does not start at Zero for the Y-axis (verical bars) or Zero for the X-axis (horizontal bars).

Then later it was up, but around 10:45pm-11:20pm I could not login, and a lot of pages like search, user, just redirected back to the home page...
Obviously something was up. Check this thread, nothing got posted for nearly an hour. I tried a 'reply' link, while not logged in, and it just went back to the home page too.
This was you can try before you buy and see how 'cool' it is. No need to format your hard disk, no need to know linux.
Knoppix lets you put in the cd, and reboot and SEE AND TOUCH AND FEEL linux before you ever make a change to your system. Although you may need to enter your BIOS and make your CD-ROM a bootable device prior to your harddisk...
While this is not what he wanted, a book, it is better, because you can run linux without having to commit to it, which is what I bet many people stumble on.
I run Knoppix off the cd and off of my harddisk on an older system (p-300) and it is worth trying if you are a newbee.
So are they saying all you need is ACCESS to the Internet to do a crime? While I understand that yeah, once on the Internet you can crack or hack stuff, this seems like the wrong approach.
If you can drive a car, then BOOM you can drive under the infuence (DWI/DUI)?? SO NO CAR FOR YOU? OR ANYONE?
Let's think about his for a minute. Access to a means of _possible_ wrong doing is wrong? (or being the one to set it up, and enabling it?) Come on.
I agree using a publically accessible wireless net is cool and all, but I also think their admins should either 1)lock it down 2) not use them in the first place b/c securing a wireless lan is either 100% impossible or nearly so.
If you are a corp with Wireless then my suggestions would be to reconsider using it, b/c of freeloaders adn security. Then if you must use it, consider making the IPs it hands out public IPs only. THen use a firewall so those IPs can only access a PPTP or tunneling server that gets the users on to the "private" or 10.dot networks. Have those users use the pptp connection as their default gateway and disallow getting from the regular IP to another IP but the PPTP server. THis way it is open for all, but useless unless you tunnel in to the real (private and controlled) network...
On the other hand, we all know war-driving kiddies are terrorists, and because they are stealing bandwidth, and SPAMMERs are not, because they steal TIME and Bandwidth.... If only that spam dude from yesterday could be found to have setup a wireless network at his home (and office) we the people could use this to get him locked up!!! (just kidding, his mail would pile up and cause a public eyesoar, and we'd have to lock him up again...)
And all that is not to mention how this assumes that access to the internet is by itself a problem. If that is the case then we are fucked as a country, because of how people don't patch their systems, and company sell insecure software which is what is the real cause if y0u ask me.

I work for an Internet company. I _never_ link myself to that company. I'm sure many others could say the same.
The main reasons for me: Job secruity and a Professional projection of myself and my company.
When I get home, I drink beer, sniff glue, etc. If I were to post to the boards I would probably offer some good help. Then the beer starts to kick in (and the glue, oh boy!) I bet my own level of control and professionalism would begin to disappear. (and if I were in my physical work building they would know)
How many times have you seen post where some "tech guy" or such says, well you know what?: Customers are Idiots, Aholes, etc? I have seen this. How many times have you gone to work the next day and said to yourself, 'shit I really should not have sent that email last night...' because you were half in the bag when you sent it.
It reminds me of the guy who posted on the Ciruit City thing, saying "we don't need customer's like that" (the ones who return a lot of goods). While he may have posted a fact about the company he still sounded like a jerk b/c the companies public position probably is that "the customer is always right". Now the real position is out in the open, for good or bad.
Companies want to present themselves in a professional way. People acting as rogue representative of a company after hours is a bad thing.
But don't get me totally wrong, it took me a while to get to this point (beer, glue, etc) and if I go out for a beer I wear work logos and all (shirts, hats, etc).
If you have so much energy to devote to helping others do it at work. Teach the other techs a thing or two, improve the 'system' don't operate out side of it.
All that being said, if you still want to help out on your own time, don't claim to be an employee of 'the company' and don't reveal the 'secrets' when you do so.
Walmart is the biggest employer in the US. As in they have more employees than any other company. http://www.frameastock.com/gifs/largest.html - see for your self. This is just meant to reinforce the fact of how huge they are, and how big an impact they can have on, well anything.
My solution to this is with the store GIANT (food store). They have a "bonus card" system that is based on your phone number. When you use the card you get some discounts (and they track every purchase you make).
So, what I do it go to the check out counter and say: "I forgot my card, can I type in my phone number?" They always say "sure". I then type in a phone number other than mine. I took a shot in the dark the first time I was there, and picked a number someone else had registered. Now all MY purchases are reported as "the other guy", thus messing up their data!!! HA!
Another place to avoid getting tracked is with you Credit cards. AVOID using them when you can, pay cash.
At some point in the future (or present?) people will be denied health care (or have increased rates) because they buy 4 kegs of beer a week, or 10 bags of potato chips a week...
Here goes: - Don't use anything by CA - Check out NetCool for event trapping - If you have a development team, consider making your own app, since off the shelf stuff might be a hard fit, where you are always trying to customize it to meet your needs and it never quite solves all your problems... -
