OMG I thought all that data was filtered for over 13 yrs old on the 20 million Email addresses fot $9.95 CD! Do you actualy mean that my cd vendor merely used an illegal web scraping script to collect possible email addresses and then sold them to me as ligitimate verified Email addresses without actualy verifieing them? What a scumbag, how is a ligitamate spammer supposed to make a linving what they have to deal with scumbags like that. Next thing you'll tell me is all of that viagra i sell is expired.
Ok your correct, I wonder considering the rapidity of the attack, and how they seem to occure at midnight(when your account is refreshed), an unlikely time of the day for a human driven attack, perhaps some kind of a script, which is kinda like a bot attack which is kinda like a DDos, which is kinda like a law enforcement issue; considering that the attack originates from a competitor and other IP's of related (through business ventures, or have the same registered mailing address which looks like purposeful attacks, maybe even things like conspiracy involved, a civil suit or even a criminal complaint might be in order, I'd talk to my lawyer if I was you. (actualy I'd probably run nmap on the offending addresses too serveral scans just to leave a lot of noise on the server logs so they know)
I have to disagree based on the fact that very few internet purchases are made on the first visit so that plan would screw the search engines. typicaly when I research a potential purchase, I google first, visit the site create a bookmark folder for the results and then i poke around a lot, finaly I go back and make my purchase. Most of this is going to look like abandoned shopping carts, and click-fraud from your perspective. Trying to quantify advertising and purchasing to the degree that online advertisers seem to except is deeply flawed.
So how did you know it was really click-fraud? multilple requests from the same IP could be fraud, or it could be a couple of people behind a NAT looking at the same page it's also possible you site had some weird-assed IE only shit that didn't render properly in mozilla or even some pathetic ASP page on a windows server kept timing out and people kept trying to reload the corrupted page. What might it be? If your adveritsing in a magazine, you'll have to assume the the advert you've paid for will only be looked at by a small percentage, and mail campain only get a 1% responce rate if it's very exceptional, spam probably gets a thousandth of that. If you advertised in a magazine, and inserted blow-in business reply cards is everytime the post office delivers one that's blank fraud or just a cost of doing business? Not every click is going to be a well-qualified, motivated potential purchaser; but some are going to bookmark you site and compare prices else where, maybe they'll come back, maybe they will not. What would happen if google sued you because a potential customer bookmarked your site after following an advert depriving them of revenue when they returned?
Using SMS wouldn't be first choice, though. GPRS would be much better and cheaper (in Europe you pay per MB). Then using morse code would be ideal, just don't convert it to ascii because morse code is inherently Hoffman encoded so it's compressed, just send as is. For the morse code impaired, It would be easy to convert the thumb-poke number pad to morse and let the recieving phone convert it to screen text.
Actually we've carefully analyzed the parameters and for the typical MIRV'd 50KT soviet warhead to achieve a 50% probability of knocking out a Minuteman 3 ICBM inside a silo with a 3m thick reinforced concete lid, the nuclear detonation would have to occur within 300m, which is very difficult to do considering that the re-entry vehicle will have an air-speed in excess of 14,000 MPH. If they have airliners full if jet A fuel it's a whole different story.
won't run under wine on my machine, but I didn't expect it to, when a page talks about what video cards it runs with you can be pretty sure an OS emulator is out of the question.
Maybe what you ought to do is ask yourself WHY your support costs are so high. Start reducing some of those costs, don't just hide them in some third party contract. The real question isn't what the costs are but what will we save; if IT budget is direct plus indirect costs, outsourcing will just shift a bunch of over-head around which will dilute any expected savings. Moving the severs out of the data-center won't necessarily repurpose the data-center to something more useful like production space.
Well the thing know is Jackson is now a proven producer (not movies but money), and probably has enough cash in the bank to do anything he wants; so the Hollywood will deal if for no other reason than to keep him form doing the Hobbit as an indie film. I'm sure the next deal will either be along the lines of competative bidding or a sweetheart deal.
I know, in the arm's-race between my 50 yr-old eyeballs and pattern recognition programs for spammers, my eyeballs are definately losing, maybe running 1280x1024 is too much for me now.
Well since the star has a name like Fomalhaut, rather than 3C247, or even P3567 means we've been aware of the star between 100 and 4 thousand years and this one is probably closer to 4000 years; and it's naked-eye visable. We've had a pretty good idea of what stuff localy is new and what is old more likely it's something that we've just gotten arround to looking at because theirs just some much to look at.
I provided medical support to the Michigan Millitary Academy and everybody there was enlisted fail, the course and you don't just go home, you've got a millitary obligation to fulfill. I'm pretty sure the academies are the same way, not to mention that you've just embarssed your congressman. You have to commit in a ROTC program if you recieve a scholarship, otherwise it's optional (I think pretty much everybody get a schoolarship after the second year); you can fulfill your obligation in the Reserves or National Guard
I'm not sure that's quite true, to become an officer, you have to take the OCT, Officer's candidate test with a score of 100, the test is entirely vocabulary and mathematics. I took the test for grins-and-giggles and scored 120 and only answered 4 out of fifty math questions. The directions said "answer the questions correctly" they must have meant it, I assume that incorrect answers are more negative than correct answers are positive. Then you have to pass OCS, Officer's Candidate School, and your commission approved by congress. After that their is branch training, there is a basic and advanced course where they are trained to be say an Infantry or Artillery officer ect. By their first promotion, they must have 120 credit hrs., but OCS basic and advanced usualy articulate into 62 credit hours, they can usualy CLEP another 30 hrs. 30 hrs. over a two year period isn't too hard to accomplish, a lot of schools that cater to millitary are generous with articulation and/or have online/couresponce course and even aceelerated course that might only have 8 actualy face-to-face meetings.
I am working from memory about how it was 15 yrs ago so things may have changed by now.
I think you need to study your history better, usualy what happens in a millitary coup is
a minority of the would-be dictator's cronies move to lock down the majority in the well trained millitary.
After the coop, the cronies are move to an "elite" palace guard type unit
The well trained millitary is decapitated by having it's leadership with any ethics and morals murdred
the rest of the well millitary is decimated in a series of frivolus millitary misadvanture against the countries neighbors
the well trained millitary is replace by conscripts from the near-criminal and criminal element of the country
This is the system that has worked for the last 4000 years. If you want to be a dictator study it well, the well trained military is your mortal enemy.
I think you would be very surprised at the current state of affairs, given the federal laws, if you are accused of domestic violence you may not carry a weapon which basicaly means if an angry spouse decides to get even by making a call and making a false statement it's end-of-career, no conviction needed; works on police officers too.
I do agree about the mental instability thing I've observed that people who are suddenly moved from a high stress, highly structure total-immersive environment to a totaly unstructured environment tend to do poorly, former prisoners do better with a period of parole and combat soldiers do better with a period of non-combat duty and then reserve duty after their service is up.
Who in his right mind would moderate this insightful??? Maybe somebody who has walked the walk, and it's obvious to be that you don't have a fucking clue who grunts are, what we do, or why we would take offense at a pansy-ass like you using the term. Taking orders without thinking maybe fine for soviet style penal-infantry, or Argentinian style shoot'em in the foot so they don't run military, but if you think that you can your personal ass out into mortal combat without thinking, feel free to demonstrate to me that I'm wrong. This isn't a video game, you don't get a "free life" for passing a stage.
no but if it's a policeman/ security worker, should the Employer get a nice big "willfull violation" from OSHA for not protecting it's workers from known and predictable on the jobs hazards after the prep catches a round or two resisting arrest?
The biggest thing that needs to be done is to turn-off that which isn't used; allow what's needed, deny all do it in services, do it in the firewall rules at the host and routers.
We need to get it through people's heads that everything that's running is a security risk, and if the benefits don't outweigh the risks don't use it, or install it and block it's ports.
"Although Hitachi does not offer an 'enterprise' or '24x7' SATA drive, our testing found their drives to be as reliable as anything out there, enterprise distinction or not," Saikley said.
I read that as SATA drives. What I wonder about is
Pentaboxes are ~$ 2.00/GB per the article while Coraid, priced at $1,995.00 + (4*$314.99 hard drives) = 3918.94 + 664.00( 15U tabletop rackmount) or ~$0.41/GB per my calculations;
looks like a price war is brewing here unless pentabox has some serious KW in BTU out or performance advantages.
Most of them probably have an exhibitionist streak in them, tend to need their self-esteem externaly reinforced. A good photographer/director make a sestion almost seductive for the model and and get many to go alot farther than the model/actress intended. It's interesting how a house-mouse can turn into a wild-cat with the right push. Photographers almost always retain full-rights to their photos which can be interesting because a set a nudes can be taken of a young starving want-a-be actress, forgotten for years to only resurface just after the big-name actress's new movie set box-office records. Money is always a strong motivater also.
Considering that the CIA's World Fact Book is regualrly cited on slashdot, and the majority of the data they analyse is from public sources I'm sure you'd be surprised at how much you could probably get from them(You can even take a virtual ture of their campus). Also remember that Larry Wall used to work over at the NSA when he started developing Perl for internal use and that the "No Such Agency" is the hub of SE Linux developement. Our secretive spooks are surprisingly will to share when they can.

When gross means ... minus expenses such as taxes I pity the fool that tries to figure out what net means!!
gross revenue,
