" I would never expect anyone to violate my confidentiality"
Do you every read the paper, watch the news, or read history books? What you say you never expect happens all the time and to not be aware of it shows a lack of brain cells.
You used a flaw in the DNS protocal as a reason not to use a specific piece of software when, it appears, that the flaw you are bitching about can harm ANY DNS server.
The djbdns security guarantee I offer $500 to the first person to publicly report a verifiable security hole in the latest version of djbdns.
Examples of security holes:
* Buffer overflows allowing attackers to take over DNS caches, such as the NXT bug in BIND before 8.2.2-P4 (1999), or the TSIG bug in BIND before 8.2.3 (2001), or the SIG bug in BIND before 4.9.11/8.3.4 (2002).
* Buffer overflows allowing attackers to take over DNS servers, such as the IQUERY bug in BIND before 8.1.2-T3B (1998).
* Buffer overflows allowing attackers to take over DNS clients, such as the CNAME bug in BIND's libresolv before 4.9.9/8.2.6/8.3.3/9.2.2 (2002), or the getnetbyname bug in BIND's libresolv before 4.9.11 (2002).
* Buffer overflows allowing attackers to take over DNS utilities.
Examples of problems that do not qualify:
* Bugs outside of djbdns, such as OS bugs or browser bugs. (People could seize control of BIND 9.1 through an OpenSSL buffer overflow, but that was a bug in OpenSSL, not in BIND.)
* The vulnerability of DNS to forgery. (BIND's port reuse makes blind forgery much less expensive, but this is a quantitative difference, not a qualitative difference. The DNS architecture needs cryptographic protection.)
* Denial-of-service attacks. (BIND 9's fragility makes denial of service completely trivial; but an attacker can easily take down the Domain Name System without using any of BIND's bugs. The DNS architecture needs to be decentralized.)
My judgment is final as to what constitutes a security hole in djbdns. Any disputes will be reported here.
Look at some of the backers of the anti blp group and you will find that some of them stand to lose if bpl takes off. It isn't just the pro bpl side playing games.
But I thought that hams where saying that BPL would destroy radio communication for 100's of miles around? This video only shows the effect when they are very near the powerlines.
They also play word games by saying it is on the agenda at the FCC. On the agenda doesn't mean that they will approve it, it simply means they are looking at it.
Lastly, it doesn't help hams when hams say they will just pump out a 1kw signal to drownout the BPL signal, that action will simply result in the group with the most votes winning, and that isn't the hams.

Well, at least NASA knows what happened to it's probe, unlike some other space agencies. ;->
Why is your post showing up as a 0, when it has no down mods?
Perhaps you should look up who runs the contract for the space shuttle. HINT - it is a for profit company.
Where is the profit motive in sending probes to the outer solar system?
No, NASA will buy copies of your ship from you, that is how you make a profit and NASA gets a good ship for less of the taxpayers money.
A supersonic bomb, with a correctly harded shell, would be perfect for taking out deeply buried objects like north korea and china are building.
Nice to see that people would rather mod me down than respond.
Not yet, but they will ;->
Not everything that flys is an aircraft. Think bombs, not planes.
Damn, I have a bunch of other emails I never use, would you like me to post them also?
And it wasn't a troll, it was my opinion and the fact that you can't respond to my opinion with anything other than bs says more about you than I.

Thanks, that is only about the 13th time someone has done that. What happend to the trolls that where original?

Yes, police officers man job is to collect fines for the state. A peace officers protect the people and the peace.
It changed about the time that the state started using the police as a revenue source.
Do a google search on Dallas Fake Drugs.
Killing babies is OK, but you are fucked if you don't state your name on command.
That doesn't make very much sense.

What is the best, least expensive wireless USB NIC for linux?
and cnn is just as bad. HINT, all news is biased one way or the other.
If this disrupts military comm systems then they need to be fixed. Our enemies have MUCH more powerful jammers.
And if very many hams do what you suggest the laws will be changed and those hams will lose their licenses and have to pay fines.
It may not be right, but that is what will happen. BPL will get more votes than hams.

And what is wrong with Red Hat?
