Large amounts of spam from the far east, I quit trying to deal with it, Our site just forwards it all to user bitbucket and bitbuckets mail all goes to the bitbucket.
At first the chinese and japanese porn links were amusing, but they're pretty tame by american standards. What does surprise me is some of the stuff that comes from otherwise reputable american companies. I'd have never thought that a company like HP would resort to sleazey SPAM adverts and earn a place on my never-buy-from list but they do. even got one signed by Carly Fiorina herself, so I guess that it means that she can't claim plausable denieability now.
ISP's charging for SMTP wouldn't really work because it just as easy to send from somewhere else, i.e. our verio account lets us send mail through our server, it's marked as having originated at our site with no real way to tell where it came from before. inshort the SMTP traffic goes through the ISP as packets, they don't realy know whats in 'em just where they are going.
No, but actualy cosidering the degree of ignorance about computers and operating systems six months of OTJ expirience is a lot more than most people get in six years!
In linux a lot of things are hard, in a MS os it's either easy (point &: click) or almost impossible, but this is changing rapidly. I just set up NFS on the home network basical by doing exactaly what the HOWTO said, there is noway I think I'm qualified to do this Professionaly. The test covers things that I would never enable/config on a professional network because of pervasive security problems. It probably would have been better to seperate out some things like Email, FTP and HTTP stuff to a seperate exam endorsement.
On a lot of these exams it seems that perhaps making money for the certifing orf and the instructors is more important than testing for valuable skills.

There really isn't a lot of admisitering that has to be done more than once tha's any harder the in Widows. More and more hardware just jumps in, even stuf I couldn't get running in winows 95A.
In short unless your trying to do something exotic, Linux is just a little different, and a lot of times a lot easier. Ther's no reason to be afraid of being a newby anymore. The ability to realy destroy a Linux machine is alot harder to come by than the ability to destroy a windows machine.
This is not new, its just an evalution of the tatics.
old way;
give a way os/software w/'puter, sell upgrade for $49.95, crash 'puter & corrupt files reload os/software+each update repeat until digusted then buy full version for $249.95!
new way;
use passport on the web for ID,
use Hailstorm for rights management of content,
use reader to get EULA rights to disable any software on users 'puter,
push idea of software as service,
use Hailstorm/.NET to regulale rights to software,
now everyone has to rent software result constant
revenue stream, automaticaly deducted from your credit card/checking account. It's slowly getting to the point where MS software won't work unless your connected to the net, a lot of features are gone without a net connection in place. Soon MS won't work period without being connected;
..the file security will live within the file while management of personal identity and keys will reside in a centralized database... The real enabler, will be the persistence of the infrastructure.
I read infrastucture a internet connection to microsoft, the computer is the net after all. how else are you going to start the clock running? This way they will have a constant way of checking for valid licenses all ready they are bullying business users into purchasing MS licenses rather than using existing OEM licenses, performing "software license audits' on premises ect. (what happens when the liceince for a product for which you have a competative upgrad for expires?) OEM licienses are a dead end for them, why should a home user upgrade machines when they are so powerfull that they are basicaly a one-time purchase now? No go after businesses with licienses and use rights management to identify targets. Just like drugs, the price goes up after you are addicted.

and sense we're at war, why should we be suprised that we're under attack? There are terrorists out there that want to destroy our way of life because we are sucessfull and not living in their 14th century fuedal theocratic version of utopia. MS VP thinks using free or open source software is un-american; well get a clue running unpatched MS software is aiding and abetting the enemy in my book. And if you think one million people in the far east is going to go to microsoft.com to get patches for their bootleg software; I've got some realy nice office space in the WTC to lease to you.
The authorities have Carnivore and echelon stuff running overtime. Do you think this is all a coincidence, or does it feel more like a way for the terrorists to bury their commo channels in background clutter, while still asaulting a worthy target? sphealey, do you feel like you're being kicked in the groin? well don't take it personaly, you and your company is just one battle in a terrorist war to take down Microsoft, and after that probably Sun. Maybe they'll have a hard time deciding between Apple and Linux for number three.
These guys hate the internet because it lets us communicate and do business all over the world. We can post our opinions and our rants for the world to see, and they don't want the world to see. They think we're soft, decadent in short we are their prey. It's their perogative to use us like chattle, just like they do to their own woman.

Microsoft might to have to put some money in an reactive defense initiave to counter-attack infected users; maybe send then viruses who's payloads are uninstalled patches. How many broadband users would even notice?
I know this sounds like a rant or troll but just think about it. Actualy Linux needs Microsoft to keep things honest. We need to get the message out to everybody, use a firewall, use anti-virus and get those patches installed. If we don't do it it will be legeslated.
but of course because/dev/mouse is a streaming file, it caused the browser to basical block until the end of time. Mouse movement got real glichy. I almost was able to click to kill icon on NS, eventualy had to [ctrl alt backspace] to stop X-Windows. Actualy I thougth that my machine handled it pretty well. Brought back memories of running windows. Immagine in Linux we have to emmulate viruses via diliberate user intervention; or of course use WINE/IE/OUTLOOK.
I can't imagine the FBI wadinging through, the kilobytes of spam I get everyday let alone the millions of people to monitor, so I guess that this will get some real anti-spam legislation passed at some point in time.
Would falsifing Email headers be like lying to a police officer? Will the CIA track down all of the Japanese and Chinese pron site that Spam me. In short will I get any SPAM reliefe here? Actualy I'm not counting on it.

Right know I'm not sure what he was doing! Probably doing multiple ports, one to PHP, one to VB. Hints of a serious commercial effort here. I'll bet Law-enforcement don't have a clue even with the code. It still sounds like we being BS'd by the hacker/cracker here; and the Feds are letting it slide because he copped a plea.
Oh in case anyone isn't aware of it, Parole Boards usualy don't even look at what a potential Parolee was convicted of, they look at what he was charged with originaly. So Copping a plea effectively means admitting guilt to all of the charges, not just what you are convicted of. Don't like it, serve all of the sentence, its your choise.

Prisions are full of people who only took one small step. Each one didn't seem so bad, but they all add up. Step A is a little naughty, step B a little more. People generaly don't go from not even a traffic ticket to Bank robbery and Murder is one giant leap.
Look at this guy, he's propable going to go to jail, do a ton of public-service and get put on probation all for stealing some scripts. I wouldn't be surprised if the scripts were freely avialable for download on an other site. Moral of the story is if you get stupid, you'll pay for it.
In the army I worked on radar-doppler seeking guided missiles, and basicaly what we did was to place a rotating scanner in front of the feed (LNB in satalite talk). When the dish was pointed dead on, the signal came through clean, if it was off axis the scanner started to chop up the signal.
Measuring the amount of chopping gave the magnitude of the error, measure the phase of the chopping gave the direction of the error. Feed these error back through some electronic and drive a few servos on the mount and your done.
To use the system,
you could program a box-search algorythm to automaticaly fine tune it after you got it close.
You'd probably have to set the van up on sturdy jacks, someone walking arround on a vehicle supported by inflated tires, on sprung axles would surely through off alignment on a sat 22,400 mile away. (ground mount would help here also)
Get the installer to align the thing on the satalite, so that its working correctly. (slip him a little cash on the side to get him to do it as exactly as possible:)
align the scanner for zero error signal
turn on the aiming system and see if it drifts off axis
If it didn't drift off, manualy move it off axis and see if it returns
As for the need for absolute presition, I don't buy it becuase
the dish isn't that fast, as in telescope or photography fast, they look to be only about F 0.5- 0.7 in other word wide angled, and low gain
The dish itself is rather small, the really directional stuff is about 10 wavelengths, these dishes only look about 3 or 4 wave lengths
A modern amature telescope mount can with a little intervention hold on a star for several hours worth of exposure time
the dish installer aren't all rocket scientists and they need to make a living too, so it realy can't be that hard
the alignment technic is loosen the bolt turn the pipe, tighten the bolt and hope the thing doesn't jerk out of alignment a worm gear could change alignment increments from degrees to seconds of degrees!
Even when its perfect today those birds do drift a little, they're not exactly over the equator all of the time! they must tend to pull towards the line connecting the center of mass of the sun and the Earth and the equator is only on this line durring the equenox's anyways.
perhaps you can get an amature telescope manufacturer or amature astronomer excited with this idea in return for the potential sales, there must be a lot of fire-departments and other emergency services that need communtications such as Email or looking up an MSDS on a disaster site. My thaught is it may be impossible to do this on a mobile basis as in moving vehicle, but fairly easy to do on a mobile basis as a fixed location that occasionaly moves. Just have to start thinking outside the box here.
If you tape razor blades to the bottom of your car stereo, and someone breaks in and cuts him finger when stealing it you've broken the law in most place i.e. attractive nuscience laws. therefore if you use windoze are you guilty?
Seriously this had to happen, just look at your sever logs over the past month. I guess that this will prevent us from using an active defense on our machines. I was wondering what would happen if an request for defualt.ida fired a counter-attack script, now I know I go to jail for life!
not sure about any real attempt to dig it out, there's lots of problems there.
First the WTC was built in a "bathtub" because the foundation is below sea level so if the bathtub is cracked mud could rush in and de-stablize near by structures like subways, utility conduits and other building foundations. The WTC actualy re-inforced the tub internaly to prevent its colapse; now its rubble. To do this there is talk that they may have to drill through the tub and sink tie-backs into the bedrock or build cross-bracing beams and remove the rummble between the openings.
FYI Infrared lasers LIDAR is helpful here because of its excellent smoke-haze penetration and higher detail. Microwave side-looking radar might work but I think that the dust would either block or distorte the data. The sonar is probably used to probe the columns in near by buildings for hidden internal damage
I'm sorry to imform you but its not over, more will certainly die during the monumental clean up of the devastated areas in NY and Washington. That's just the nature of an enormous engineering projects. Our Military is poised to move, and some will be injured, contract strange illnesses or die even if no shots are ever fired. Americans are being harrassed, because they look Arab, sooner or later some nut-case will kill someone out of some sick need for revenge. Many Afgans will die, even if the Terrorists are turned over immediately and no outside Military action occures because the just the nature their situation there.
Surely we are intellegent to realise that we are still in the beginning. The terrorists have moved from a juvenile phase to an adult phase, and we will now hold them responsible for their actions, not only as individuals but as organisations to. The Terrorists have graduated to weapons of mass destruction, and with it the responsability of a country. We will now have to treat anyone who presents themselves as a terrorist organisation, as have the ability to wage full-scale war against us. and again many will die as a result.
Let's not forget that even the most evil among us have innocent loved ones who'll genuinely morn their loss. Soon I fear my son will be in harm's way as he is a Soldier, as I once was.
While most of the replies to the comment are valid to a point, we should remember that perviously the bin ladin terrorists what attacked primarily USGov facilities. They didn't go out of their way to cause co-lateral fatalities to bystanders, althought they occured.
I don't know if the change was caused by Desert Storm, Clinton Admin's decadence, or the G. W Bush's election/ and getting raked through the media for inaction/stupidity. Most probably all of these issues are used by the taliban as an excuse for drumming up US hatred, Better for them to have an external enemy to focus the peoples attention on rather than their on situation.
Afgan are dirt poor, the only thing holding the country together is a promise of pardise and fear of the taliban reprisals. Anything remotly resemble a middle-class is being systematical destroyed in Afganistan.
GWB seems to have some pretty specific goals for the US Forces in Afganistan, like JFK had in Viet Nam. And if any of you guys are old enough you'll remember that JFK had pretty good sucess in Viet Nam (he used primarily Special Op's), it was Johnson(he moved in mass ground forces) that screwed it up and Nixon that got us out people were pissed mostly that it took 5 years be cause he was hamstrung by the mess that LBJ made of things. Also I think its important to realise that everybody except the gov is thinking old war, the Gov is talking new war. The new war is something that we haven't seen yet.
Canada has strict gun control, hand guns any way, cannons are OK (No I realy know a guy that hauled a cannon, black powder and cannon balls threw Canada form Michigan to New York, Customs asked if he had any hand guns when he had a cannon on the trailer in plain view!). On the radio this morning heard about a Canadian Bank being robbed with a Hammer (no B.S I live on the border); but no one was shot.
So it should be much of a logic leap if bad guys didn't have crypto, they'd use something else. Technology don't kill people, people kill people.
These infected computers should be cleanned, in a few hours I'm going to clean my boss's puter.

Seriously with the FBI et al up to their kiesters running carnivore and echelon stuff do we realy want to let the ignorant clog up the net with malicious traffic? Just that much more traffic for them to sort through before they let our ligit traffic pass. We can piss and moan about civil liberties all we want, but the powers that be are going to do everything in their power to get the terrs, and letting them send out diversonary traffic isn't going to help. I just hope what they're doing doesnt get so illegal that they blow thier case out of the water.
Actualy I'm suprised, this is the first thing I've seen on the web, that has mentioned sept 11 and viri ect. that has stayed up for more than a few seconds anyways.
You're right as I understand it a diver can stay at a depth of 15 feet indefinatly, 15 feet is a little less than 1 bar of pressure, with out decompression. So it would not cause the bends, to go to ambiant pressure.
Military jumpers sometimes make HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) jumps from 36K ft with O2 masks (maybe higher). The temps up there are arround -45 degrees F but the low pressure causes evaperative heat losses to. I remember that at the Guinnes record was something like 33Kft for surviving a fall from an aircraft w/o a cute and surviving, the guy alnded on the edge of a steep, snow-cover revine but broke about everything.
As for the topic Lamo should get a medal and Yahoo should have to write "Terrorist love steganography one thousand times".
Thats the problem, its turned on by default, most users of MS systems don't have a clue what going on in their machine, therefore no due diligence is involved. My site sever logs were showing codeRed probes as lately as 9/10/01. There is so much flying arround on the web today that no one can keep on top of it all.
Come on People you have to get out and contact those "six pack Joe computer users" you know your non-geek friends and start to teach'em a little bit about security. It the simple stuff they need, like running anti-virus, running a firewall, downloading updates from MS or where-ever and simple Email security. The internet is much more a community than ever before, when one get sick they either need to be quarentined or cure period. All of the silly stuff flying arround makes it harder to see the dangerous stuff.
Some one need to write a MS versoin of top so it easy see average people to see what thier machine are doing. Maybe that way Joe might notice that he has 100 threads of codeRed trying to run in 32K of memory, and a easy way to do something about it.
"pagans, homosexual, abortionists," while not add infidels, capitalist, Western whoremongers to the list?
I protest your using similar in the post, just change the words in the first line with the words in the second and you get pretty much the standard fundamentalist Islamic rethoric; they are for all practical purposes the same.
Why is this? Because they both want a return to a religon based fuedal society, that why. The only real difference is whose religion is used.
What these people don't understand is the society as it exists today will not allow this to happen no matter how much they pick and chose verse from their Holy books to support their fantasies. Personaly I don't like the idea of big government period, whether that government is elected, installed by force, or religon based.
The societies of the world are evolving to a point where the majority of peoples are becoming pretty tollerant of others, this incites people who are unconvertable bigots to act in increasingly extreme ways. I hope who ever was behind the attack on the US realises that many nations who only last month we would have concidered enemies, are now standing beside us. The world has just said "no more."
phpNuke appeared to be a very closed open source project that was forked into PostNuke. I've seen a lot of contributions on the PostNuke side of the fork, and the code's been cleaned up quite a bit, brought up to HTML 4.01 Trans standards ect. It'll be interesting to see what gets merged back into what. I wanted to use one of these on a site I work on, but both need a lot of work to come up to our standards for publication.
F. Burzi, the lead developer for phpNuke seemed to be overly protective of his baby and a little bit egotistical, so he got forked. Right know the PostNuke fork seems to be superior, the problem areas are problematic because they came from phpNuke. The phpNuke is pretty impressive because its obvious that F. Burzy isn't a software engineer nor does he follow the basic principals, and this fairly large thing works! When you read the code, its obvious that he has learned a lot durring the development of the project, some code is quite good, and some is quite beginner stuff.
Personaly I'm planning to work with the more open and more polished fork, PostNuke. If FB get left in the dust, such is life. Using the GPL doesnt preclude being egotistical, but it does put a limit on it.
Everybody operates for gain.
the top guys get the gain of power and wealth, they are a very small minority. The leaders of terrorist supporting countries are not the top guys, they are being victimized also. There is nothing they would like better than to be left alone to rape and pillage their countries economies, but they realize that they have to pay for the privalage to do so to the real power brokers, the heads of the terrorist. The gov leaders are vulnerable to us through economic attacks, because they are money driven.
The majority of the people are just plain going along with the program so they'll be left alone with what ever they have. They know that there are a few but dangerous extremists who will not hesitate to destroy their lives for any opposition. They majority live their lives having money extorted from them, told where to go, what to say, and what to do to "support the cause" and they do for the gain of being alowed to keep what little they have.
The larger minority is the fanaticised, they are in it for the glory of "God". When they die they are taught that they go straight to heaven. These fanatics are used by the real top guys to enforce and protect their agenda. Their vulnerability is their religan!
The world needs to learn about Islam so that we can crediably quote the Koran and turn it against the fanatic. I'm sure that there is enough stuff in there that it can be twisted to mean anything that a competant oritor wants it to mean and we want it to mean things don't kill babies, don't shoot your brothers ect.
And if we fail at this we need to send the fanatic to the next world less a hand (for stealing that airplane), less a couple testicles for commiting evil in Allah's name (keeps'm out of heaven, removing his gain) and less a head for killing. Or at least make him beleive this will happen. I remember reading about an terrorist attack against the Soviets, they sent the terrorist finger to his next of kin, end of attacks.
Without the fanatic, the whole thing crumbles. The top guys loose their soldiers, and their is nobody to extort from the national leaders or the majority of the people living in those countries. And an other thing is, make no mistake about these clerics, presidents and terrorists leaders are no differant than any christian Bible thumpper. Just watch'em hard enough and long enough and the majority of them will prove to be hippacrites also.
Take out the legs (the fanatics), then the head (the few leaders that actualy profit). don't worry about the rest, they'll be happy to live their lives in a civalized manner.
As much as I can determine, present terrorist, drug cartels ect. all seem to opperate on the French Resistance model of WWII;
Use of cells (small groups of about 5 -7 people) so that each part of the operation doesn't know who is in the other cells. this limits compromise even when tortured.
Each cell only know a small subpart of the mission and is trained for it. again limiting compromise.
Each cell is controled by a handeler who in turn only knows how to contact a few cells and is himself is handeled. This way if a handler is compromised only a few drop sites become known. The handler may never come into direct contact with or actualy know the pick-up mule for any given cell.
communications are often in the clear, but with hidden meanings such as
Aunt Sally is getting married, the wedding will be on the 11th of Aug the wedding will be at St. Johns at 4:30 and the reception is at the community center at 7:00 pm the same day. The Bridal registry is at National Dept. store
now if anyone can explain how being able to decrypt a message like this will let the authorities know that planes will be hyjacked and flown into buildings by people who don't know each other at a particular date and time, I'd appreciate it.

Measuring the amount of chopping gave the magnitude of the error, measure the phase of the chopping gave the direction of the error. Feed these error back through some electronic and drive a few servos on the mount and your done.
To use the system,
- you could program a box-search algorythm to automaticaly fine tune it after you got it close.
- You'd probably have to set the van up on sturdy jacks, someone walking arround on a vehicle supported by inflated tires, on sprung axles would surely through off alignment on a sat 22,400 mile away. (ground mount would help here also)
- Get the installer to align the thing on the satalite, so that its working correctly. (slip him a little cash on the side to get him to do it as exactly as possible
:)
- align the scanner for zero error signal
- turn on the aiming system and see if it drifts off axis
- If it didn't drift off, manualy move it off axis and see if it returns
As for the need for absolute presition, I don't buy it becuaseperhaps you can get an amature telescope manufacturer or amature astronomer excited with this idea in return for the potential sales, there must be a lot of fire-departments and other emergency services that need communtications such as Email or looking up an MSDS on a disaster site. My thaught is it may be impossible to do this on a mobile basis as in moving vehicle, but fairly easy to do on a mobile basis as a fixed location that occasionaly moves. Just have to start thinking outside the box here.
run quiet, no noticable spurious crashes. No way to fit it in a 1U case!
If you tape razor blades to the bottom of your car stereo, and someone breaks in and cuts him finger when stealing it you've broken the law in most place i.e. attractive nuscience laws. therefore if you use windoze are you guilty?
Seriously this had to happen, just look at your sever logs over the past month. I guess that this will prevent us from using an active defense on our machines. I was wondering what would happen if an request for defualt.ida fired a counter-attack script, now I know I go to jail for life!
not sure about any real attempt to dig it out, there's lots of problems there.
First the WTC was built in a "bathtub" because the foundation is below sea level so if the bathtub is cracked mud could rush in and de-stablize near by structures like subways, utility conduits and other building foundations. The WTC actualy re-inforced the tub internaly to prevent its colapse; now its rubble. To do this there is talk that they may have to drill through the tub and sink tie-backs into the bedrock or build cross-bracing beams and remove the rummble between the openings.
FYI Infrared lasers LIDAR is helpful here because of its excellent smoke-haze penetration and higher detail. Microwave side-looking radar might work but I think that the dust would either block or distorte the data. The sonar is probably used to probe the columns in near by buildings for hidden internal damage
Surely we are intellegent to realise that we are still in the beginning. The terrorists have moved from a juvenile phase to an adult phase, and we will now hold them responsible for their actions, not only as individuals but as organisations to. The Terrorists have graduated to weapons of mass destruction, and with it the responsability of a country. We will now have to treat anyone who presents themselves as a terrorist organisation, as have the ability to wage full-scale war against us. and again many will die as a result.
Let's not forget that even the most evil among us have innocent loved ones who'll genuinely morn their loss. Soon I fear my son will be in harm's way as he is a Soldier, as I once was.
I don't know if the change was caused by Desert Storm, Clinton Admin's decadence, or the G. W Bush's election/ and getting raked through the media for inaction/stupidity. Most probably all of these issues are used by the taliban as an excuse for drumming up US hatred, Better for them to have an external enemy to focus the peoples attention on rather than their on situation.
Afgan are dirt poor, the only thing holding the country together is a promise of pardise and fear of the taliban reprisals. Anything remotly resemble a middle-class is being systematical destroyed in Afganistan.
GWB seems to have some pretty specific goals for the US Forces in Afganistan, like JFK had in Viet Nam. And if any of you guys are old enough you'll remember that JFK had pretty good sucess in Viet Nam (he used primarily Special Op's), it was Johnson(he moved in mass ground forces) that screwed it up and Nixon that got us out people were pissed mostly that it took 5 years be cause he was hamstrung by the mess that LBJ made of things. Also I think its important to realise that everybody except the gov is thinking old war, the Gov is talking new war. The new war is something that we haven't seen yet.
Canada has strict gun control, hand guns any way, cannons are OK (No I realy know a guy that hauled a cannon, black powder and cannon balls threw Canada form Michigan to New York, Customs asked if he had any hand guns when he had a cannon on the trailer in plain view!). On the radio this morning heard about a Canadian Bank being robbed with a Hammer (no B.S I live on the border); but no one was shot.
So it should be much of a logic leap if bad guys didn't have crypto, they'd use something else. Technology don't kill people, people kill people.
Seriously with the FBI et al up to their kiesters running carnivore and echelon stuff do we realy want to let the ignorant clog up the net with malicious traffic? Just that much more traffic for them to sort through before they let our ligit traffic pass. We can piss and moan about civil liberties all we want, but the powers that be are going to do everything in their power to get the terrs, and letting them send out diversonary traffic isn't going to help. I just hope what they're doing doesnt get so illegal that they blow thier case out of the water.
Actualy I'm suprised, this is the first thing I've seen on the web, that has mentioned sept 11 and viri ect. that has stayed up for more than a few seconds anyways.
Military jumpers sometimes make HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) jumps from 36K ft with O2 masks (maybe higher). The temps up there are arround -45 degrees F but the low pressure causes evaperative heat losses to. I remember that at the Guinnes record was something like 33Kft for surviving a fall from an aircraft w/o a cute and surviving, the guy alnded on the edge of a steep, snow-cover revine but broke about everything.
As for the topic Lamo should get a medal and Yahoo should have to write "Terrorist love steganography one thousand times".
Come on People you have to get out and contact those "six pack Joe computer users" you know your non-geek friends and start to teach'em a little bit about security. It the simple stuff they need, like running anti-virus, running a firewall, downloading updates from MS or where-ever and simple Email security. The internet is much more a community than ever before, when one get sick they either need to be quarentined or cure period. All of the silly stuff flying arround makes it harder to see the dangerous stuff.
Some one need to write a MS versoin of top so it easy see average people to see what thier machine are doing. Maybe that way Joe might notice that he has 100 threads of codeRed trying to run in 32K of memory, and a easy way to do something about it.
I protest your using similar in the post, just change the words in the first line with the words in the second and you get pretty much the standard fundamentalist Islamic rethoric; they are for all practical purposes the same.
Why is this? Because they both want a return to a religon based fuedal society, that why. The only real difference is whose religion is used.
What these people don't understand is the society as it exists today will not allow this to happen no matter how much they pick and chose verse from their Holy books to support their fantasies. Personaly I don't like the idea of big government period, whether that government is elected, installed by force, or religon based.
The societies of the world are evolving to a point where the majority of peoples are becoming pretty tollerant of others, this incites people who are unconvertable bigots to act in increasingly extreme ways. I hope who ever was behind the attack on the US realises that many nations who only last month we would have concidered enemies, are now standing beside us. The world has just said "no more."
F. Burzi, the lead developer for phpNuke seemed to be overly protective of his baby and a little bit egotistical, so he got forked. Right know the PostNuke fork seems to be superior, the problem areas are problematic because they came from phpNuke. The phpNuke is pretty impressive because its obvious that F. Burzy isn't a software engineer nor does he follow the basic principals, and this fairly large thing works! When you read the code, its obvious that he has learned a lot durring the development of the project, some code is quite good, and some is quite beginner stuff.
Personaly I'm planning to work with the more open and more polished fork, PostNuke. If FB get left in the dust, such is life. Using the GPL doesnt preclude being egotistical, but it does put a limit on it.
the top guys get the gain of power and wealth, they are a very small minority. The leaders of terrorist supporting countries are not the top guys, they are being victimized also. There is nothing they would like better than to be left alone to rape and pillage their countries economies, but they realize that they have to pay for the privalage to do so to the real power brokers, the heads of the terrorist. The gov leaders are vulnerable to us through economic attacks, because they are money driven.
The majority of the people are just plain going along with the program so they'll be left alone with what ever they have. They know that there are a few but dangerous extremists who will not hesitate to destroy their lives for any opposition. They majority live their lives having money extorted from them, told where to go, what to say, and what to do to "support the cause" and they do for the gain of being alowed to keep what little they have.
The larger minority is the fanaticised, they are in it for the glory of "God". When they die they are taught that they go straight to heaven. These fanatics are used by the real top guys to enforce and protect their agenda. Their vulnerability is their religan!
The world needs to learn about Islam so that we can crediably quote the Koran and turn it against the fanatic. I'm sure that there is enough stuff in there that it can be twisted to mean anything that a competant oritor wants it to mean and we want it to mean things don't kill babies, don't shoot your brothers ect.
And if we fail at this we need to send the fanatic to the next world less a hand (for stealing that airplane), less a couple testicles for commiting evil in Allah's name (keeps'm out of heaven, removing his gain) and less a head for killing. Or at least make him beleive this will happen. I remember reading about an terrorist attack against the Soviets, they sent the terrorist finger to his next of kin, end of attacks.
Without the fanatic, the whole thing crumbles. The top guys loose their soldiers, and their is nobody to extort from the national leaders or the majority of the people living in those countries. And an other thing is, make no mistake about these clerics, presidents and terrorists leaders are no differant than any christian Bible thumpper. Just watch'em hard enough and long enough and the majority of them will prove to be hippacrites also.
Take out the legs (the fanatics), then the head (the few leaders that actualy profit). don't worry about the rest, they'll be happy to live their lives in a civalized manner.
now if anyone can explain how being able to decrypt a message like this will let the authorities know that planes will be hyjacked and flown into buildings by people who don't know each other at a particular date and time, I'd appreciate it.
