You can scan the full range but that is more noticable and not really a good idea for someone fishing around and not trying to get caught.
I do the same with the port forwarding but I only allow a few select ip addresses access to my incoming SSH port. I'm not sure what kind of signature nmap is capable of getting from deny and reject compared to one that is simply not listening but I feel this is one step safer then simply allowing full access to my SSH machine to anyone that wants to try to get in.
I suggest pstools, specifically pslist. These handy apps and a little scripting can do wonders on a Windows network. Of course spyware is the least of your problems if you are responsible for a large network of workstations (linux or MS) and you do not already have some type of package management and reporting solution in use.
Why cant you? Almost any software can be script installed, pushed or pulled including SB. SB also includes a local update package to get updates from your own network similar to Norton LUAU and MS update for local networks.
Water does absorb neutrons but the primary use is to slow down escaping neutrons to the thermal energy level and reflect them back to the uranium source so they can be absorbed by more uranium to sustain the reaction. Water is very good for this because of the almost equivelnt mass between the hydrogen in the water and the neutron and it reduces the amount of collisions required to get it to slow down which reduces the chance of the neutron being absorbed by something else or escaping. If one mass was relatively larger then the other, the neutron would not be slowed down enough on each collision. If water was "that good" at absorbing neutrons and scatter and slowing did not occur, it would be much harder to sustain a reaction. Using heavy water or enriched U235 would help offset that though.
Particle scattering kinematics is not high on my list anymore, nuclear power is probably much different then good bomb design so take my comments with a grain of salt.
Good luck on manufacturing a uranium neutron reflector!
What makes a uranium neutron different from any other neutron?
Hydrogen Hydroxide aka Dihydrogen Monoxide reflects neutrons pretty well. The mass of a Hydrogen atom and the fleeing neutron are similar so a good energy transfer takes place. Of course the dangers of Hydrogen Hydroxide are still being studied.;)
If you plug a Windows box directly into a high-speed Internet connection without updating everything first, the probability that you will be ownz0r3d rapidly approaches 1.
I use a real address but include a sig that "RE:" must be in the subject line of any replies. I filter anything to that address that does not include "RE:" in the subject to the bucket. If RE: is included (which happens on spam also), it then moves on through my other filters. I only use this address for Usenet so my follow on filters can be pretty strict. It seems to work pretty good.
You think that would work but oddly, it does not. I used to send resume.RTF and resume.PDF, I had quite a few requests to resend it in MS Word format. Now I send plain text email with the same damn resume.RTF file but renamed to resume.DOC as an attachment and paste an acsii text version of the resume in the body and no one complains. A common reply to this is if they can not figure out an RTF file why would you even want to work there, well a resume does not normally get sent directly to the IT department or your immediate potential boss, and a headhunter, recruiter or an HR employee is NOT always good with computers.
Word of caution (no pun intended), regardless of what extension you decide to use (RTF or DOC), make sure your RTF actually looks good when opened with Word. I don't know under what circumstances it happens but I've seen MS Word do strange things to RTF files that were not created or last edited with MS Word. Be careful with that "hidden" MS Word metadata too;)
One of those companies was our NY office;) We lost our direct extension phone dialing ability to them (could use the full 10 numbers though) and they completely disappeared from our network. They still had regular internet connectivity through a 100mbit cogent line and were able to access other company resources through our other offices Citrix metaframe farms [note 1] with almost full capacity but we still recieved numerous calls at our office as only the road warriors were actually used to using that method for access. We have the licences, horsepower, redundancy, and data sharing ability for this exact reason, well actually in case of another terrorist attack but it works for this too;)
[note 1] One thing stood out above all of this. About a year ago, a discussion at a network/desktop meeting lead to a disagreement but eventually a gadget VBS workstation AD weenie created a script on the pc's to "automatically" select connections to our fellow offices Citrix servers through the internal network if you were plugged into the internal network. It was to "eliminate" any http or https confusion as you technically did not need https if you were already on the company WAN, I guess the KISS approach was not a challenge. That was all fine and dandy until today when the route was down. They eventually pushed out an undo so you could connect either way but I wanted to call up and laugh and say I told ya so but I decided not too. What comes around goes around.
I felt the same with the daily and sometimes twice daily iPod stories. I removed Apple from my/. front page preferences and now I do not see them. Of course this parent article did fall under MS (topic 109) and I understand that removing that entire section might not be the right answer so.. Not everyone finds every article noteworthy. That is part of being in such a large group.
I am not familiar with the referenced file. I searched my computer and did not find this file in my filesystem. I often get unsolicted links sent me via AIM, Email, web popups, and network popups. One of these links may have been clicked on.
Signed Comcast user
Lets be realistic here. There is NO mention of Comcast giving out ANY user information. I assume MGM contacted Comcast with a list of IP addresses, Comcast is tackling this from their own end. Big picture though... How is anyone realsitically supposed to know what is indside a file before downloading it? Is a file name and an IP address enough evidecse to assume you were knowingly contributing to copyright infringment? What if you got an email saying "New Microsoft Updates" and it happens to point to http://somesite.inv/xfiles.torrent (remember, many popular email clients do not directly show you the link and render html).
Torrents provide an easy way for anyone to see the participating members. Of course the media companies have no easy way to see if you got the whole thing, 10kb of it or have been redistributing it at 100kB/sec for 10 days. Usenet seems to be more protected for the downloaders as the only place logs are kept are with the individual news server owners. Any attempt at a media company getting the download logs would be truely a fishing expedition. The point of all these questionable methods being used by the media companies is to scare people and do it with the cheapest and easiest method. If it really did come down to a court case involving money and damages, they would need more evidence then an IP address and possibly a filename to get money and prove a point. Detailed logs of your file transfers and possibly even packet captures, exact timestamps, the file in its entirety as transfered from YOUR computer only (you could have been pushing out bogus data etc) and probably much more. All of this is already possible with the cooperation of ISP's but the bang for the buck is not good. They want to protect their rights in a civil court but want it done cheaply with no effort involved. The result is campaign contributions, FUD, and cheesy attempts at laws. The DMCA and the one proposed allowing them to "hack" into your computer stand out the most.
Well considering that he is using IMAP for email, it is not really an issue. You can have multiple email clients attaching to the same server to read email. Its not like the mail format or a completely new system has to replace something else. Those not familiar with TB could still use their existing mail client with no interuption.
All of this assuming that one is not being removed and TB being forced as the only client.
I use Thunderbird and have used OE express but I can not give you a direct answer to your question. But... I can suggest switching your email storage from client based over to server based like IMAP. It is a big jump but well worth it in the long run.
Some advantages..
- One location for all of your mail - Used with Procmail and Fetchmail, provides one stop collection and filtering of all of your mail (no need for multiple rules on multiple mail clients) - Access to your email from ANY IMAP mail client, this is a major plus, Pine, Thunderbird, Opera, Kmail, OE, Bat, Eudora, Squirrelmail, command line, and many many more. - Easier access to you mail from a remote location y tunneling into your IMAP server. - Others that I can not think of right now!
Disadvantages
- You have to a server running with IMAP on it. IMAP does not require much power and can easily be installed on a second hand hardware. Many people already maintain headless or "server" so adding IMAP should not be a problem. -
No links but a headless P100/64MB ram and two old as dirt Seagate SCSI drives is my Squid/DNS/DHCP/syslog/various crons and polling box for my home network.
Not a substitution for ghost but to add to your very good suggestions..
Sysprep (use Google, tons if info) used with Ghosting tools allows more flexibility when restoring your computer to something with different hardware or distrubuting your image across more then one computer. Not a silver bullet and does take time to get working correctly across your hardware but worth it for anything more then a few different types of computers using only one master image.
Another quick tip is slipstreaming. Bascially you can inject service packs and hotfixes into your W2K/XP install media. When you use that media to install the OS from scratch, it is already "up to date" with the included fixes.
Rhapsody IS a different but you can still "buy" songs from the service for 0.79 and burn it to CD.
I think it is the best of both worlds. You get unlimited streaming of over 600k* songs (according to their web page). You can search for artists, songs, albums, etc and pick exactly what you want with pause, replay, ff rew etc.., or use the preconfigured radio stations and create your own genre of radio stations and just let it play. While the radio service is going, you can skip to the next song so you are not forced to listen to something you do not like either. The service is very good overall. You can login to the service from any *Windows* computer to use it. The downside is only one active connection per login so the kids and I sometimes end up booting each other off. My typical use of the system is split 50/50 between the radio streaming and directly selecting music I want to hear. If I hear something I like and want to own, I have a tendency to jump over to Amazon or similar and look for it used as I have not done the burn option in Rhapsody yet. I was surprised to find artists from CdBaby on Rhapsody and have bought cd's directly from there also.
Not specific to Rhapsody but I currently have one of my computers attached to my Yamaha home stereo via the S/PDIF digital output from my SBLive using the KX drivers (not really required but much better then the drivers from SB) and it sounds very good as far as a compressed music file goes. My own midi files sound much better though;)
* of the 600k claimed, some are not burnable and some are not manually selectable but the total 600k is streamable via the radio function.
Yeah, Compusa. I see the following scenario.. It was $999 with a $300 instant rebate, $300 mail in rebate from CUSA, a $100 mail in rebate from Apple, a $50 bundle rebate, and when purchased with a 5 year contract on a cell phone along with TurboTax and Norton Antivirus, you got a $50 gift card that can be used in the next 3 days on 2 different items in the store.
A decade ago, it seemed that the software industry had learned their lesson about copy protection
They learned that can still screw you over. The purpose of a no return policy on software was to protect them from someone coping the software and returning it. Then they introduce about 30 different schemes to prevent you from coping it but still refuse to take back a game that does not work on your computer. I had a problem with EA's Need for Speed (some version) in that it refused to see the disc in the drive. A search of EA's site revealed the game would not work in "certain instances" in a computer with more then one cdrom drive. The official fix? Remove the second drive and try again. My fix was a no-cd patch.
Did you know that the tapes had notches in the top near the plastic overwrite protection tab that indentified what type it was? That's how some players could auto detect the tape and adjust the bias accordingly. A Type II tape recorded with Dolby B and C noise reduction was a very good way to record your albums back in the day..
Nakamichi Dragon cassette recorders still sell for over $600 on Ebay..
I can not recommend any books but most people I know learn by doing it. There are basic mechanical fuctions that work the same way on all cars and luckily, these are the items that need the most work like the brakes, cooling system, changing an alternator, tuneups, oil change or even wheel bearings. If you have basic mechanical abilities (understand the difference between lock washers and washers and how they are stacked, how to use a torque wrench, how a bearing or pump works and how to replace gaskets and grease something, you can do quite a lot of work on your car with a car manual from Chiltons or Haynes (both available almost everywhere) and some tools.
More technical things like troubleshooting the electronics or emmisions control system is a different story. These are very car specific and not "general" knowledge. A book or a reference for that cars electrical system and codes is required along with the poential need for special testing equipment. Hyundai has quite a bit online (warning IE only. Sucks, I know) and can show you how do many things with their cars including diagrams, troubleshooting charts and diagnostic codes.
I do not believe that is correct at all. 2.4ghz actually had uses for years in HAM radio and amature television. In 1998, the FCC opened it up for general unlicenced consumer use or to be interpeted as "experimental spectrum", so use of the airwaves is not licensed by the FCC.. At that time, phones, access points, blutooth, and whatever else you wanted consistant with the FCC guidelines could use that range. To say 2.4 was originally for wi-fi use is not correct. Although wireless networks in the 2.4Ghz is great idea, using an unlicensed spectrum is definatley not a stable thing. But.. consumers, businesses, and congress are now seeing the advantages and market for wireless networks and by the article referenced topic, appear to attempt to provide a specific regulated region for them to operate.
Am I missing something? What things operate illegally in this band that it is significant enough to cause general problems? Aren't cordless phones are allowed to operate in the 2.4Ghz band?
I thought about this concept recently after downloading some full color stereograms (those pictures you have to focus or unfocus on to see the 3d image). If you put one of those as your background and focus in on it, the screen appears to be much bigger with a good depth. Of course your mouse and applications windows are only 2D but moving them around while staring at the background gives you an idea of what it could be like to be able to move them in and out also. IMHO, this would work and the layering and moving things around would be visually appea ling. I don't know what concentrating on those for a long time would do to your vision or your mental state though.

Apple's DRM has the ability to be burned to CD. That means the CD can then be played anywhere
So using Apple's supplied tools to burn a CD, the DRM can be removed. By using playfair, the DRM can be removed. Why is one bad and one not?
Seperate "Apple" the company out of the picture and look what you have. Media that is restricted or controlled. Maybe the current level of control and hardware availability is acceptable to you but to others it is not. What happens in 2 years, 5 years, 10 years? I have NO idea and neither does anyone else. I have mp3 files that I ripped myself in 1997/1998 that I can still listen to today on a multitude of equipment (portables, DVD players, car stereo, any computer running any OS, my Dreamcast etc...)without converting them to anything else. Choosing a specific download service and hardware required is a personal choice that is acceptable to some, not to others. The rules given by the provider are clear. Some people are not happy with the choice and take the matter into their own hands. Some people agree with that, some do not.
