Require domain logins, don't even provide local logins to the machine. Then, as part of the logon procedure, use a logon script. Look in the patch archive to find the list of files it updates. In the logon script, check the timestamp on three of them and if they're out of date, run the updater.
The patch that blew up this approach for us was MS01-50. It had two critical patches to apply at the same time, and the system tried to apply both at once, when you needed a reboot for each. Guess who was "volunteered" to re-patch the machines.
*sigh* It's Friday afternoon. Time to go home. No more f*cking patches to do.
This came out exactly a month after the last UberPatch, MS01-55. Shall we see MS02-0? as the next one on January 13/14? Probably.
I don't know if it's a good thing or not. On the one hand, it allows me time to plan to patch each machine I'm responsible for at work. On the other hand, it allows a window of opportunity for exploitation.
Then again, I'm all for having Bill Gates come and patch every single machine personally.
For many Holiday Seasons, there has been a Boston-based lawyer who has come out with a list of Ten/Twelve toys which are physically dangerous to the three-and-under crowd, especially with parts that can fall out, be swallowed, and cause choking. It expanded to toys which may be age-appropriate but still hazardous if you have toddlers to those toys and games which were hazardous to adults (lawn darts, anyone?)
I saw a blurb briefly on the news and wondered about the hazards on the video games (perhaps running with the cartridge and falling, catching the corner in the eye?).
As far as I know, this isn't the same lawyer, and this is just a coat-tail organization. Sad.
We wish to close this manner quickly for all parties concerened. I have been authorized by my client to make financial restitution concerning such negative comments.

It's wonderful if you have one machine just to patch culmulatively; it's another thing when you have tens, hundreds, or even thousands of machines to support, keeping all those up to the same level of protection (and that's not including machines built from the ground-up).
Also, neither the movie or the miniseries did Duncan Idaho justice. In the novels, he's a badass but he doesn't even do anything in the miniseries.
And even less in the movie. I've read the books peripherally, but even I know Duncan Idaho is more than a "Good to see you!" afterthought character who Paul greets in passing.
Planetary scientist are very anxious to study its atmosphere in a gaseous state, it is predicted to be completetly frozen by 2020. As Pluto takes 248 years to revolve around the sun it will be a LONG time before it's gas again.
*sigh* I have the sinking feeling that by the time a probe is approved and launched, Pluto will be unfrozen again.
How quick did BackOrifice come out once M$ put BackOffice out in Beta, and how many variants are out there (not to mention M$ securty patches)?
I agree -- someone far enough from the reach of the FBI is going to reverse engineer it, and it's going to be a photo finish whether it'll be a cracker trying to impress a girl, or military/industrial espionage.
'If it was under the control of the FBI, with appropriate technical safeguards in place to prevent possible misuse, and nobody else used it -- we wouldn't detect it,' said Chien. 'However we would detect modified versions that might be used by hackers.'"
I prefer the quote made in the movie "The Phantom": If you give someone a gun, you better make sure you know which direction it's being aimed.
Is there a difference between having a religious angle for filtering and a sectarian angle? Might we be going down the same path as the peacefire.org about what makes "the cut" and what doesn't?
One of the eternal complaints that has made the space program the whipping boy of budget cuts is that "money goes 'out there' and is, therefore, wasted instead of doing something altrustic (feed the poor, pave roads, build school, bring World Peace, blah blah blah"...
Thing is, it should be organizations such as the Smithsonian, National Geographic, the Planetary Society, etc. to be sponsored by the private sector to launch into manned space exploration on their own.
Um, actually, the wife and I haven't read them, and until the movie, we didn't want to start until Rowling completed the set, so we'd get to read them in one felt swoop.
As for "childish stories".... eh, I'll leave to the others to comment. Funny, they don't *look* childish.
For December 5 & 6. Looks like Bill is taking tips from Scott Adams.

So, everything for the past three months was because AOL kept sending freebie CDs to bin Laden's cave?

I found some of my earliest postings migrated from FidoNet to the Usenet groups. My jaw dropped when I saw the domain:
My.Name@p0.f860.n6007.z87.FIDONET.ORG
No wonder when the Web hit, people wanted Short Domain Names.

So, archieval backups (which even the BSA allows) are not a consideration?
Will there also be a disclaimer in case some hacker uses the service to penetrate your computer through the music service?

We just get the parents to photograph and fingerprint the tykes voluntarily.
Try booster-huggers.
If anything, depending on how resilient they are, they can be carried up to low-earth orbit before re-entry.

That story is worth the price of admission. Glad to see everyone has his/her geek threshold.
