Well, I was more speaking of the guys who cobbled together their own firewall using 2 NIC's and their OS and software of choice. That's what I did, and I easily could have screwed up an iptables command or a default rule and blocked incoming DNS. With a purchased firewall, especially if you can't edit it yourself, I would have to assume (uh oh) that the manufacturer got the basics right, at least. I really don't know of a way to check those. You could try an online port scan like sygate.com offers. But your firewall is probably using a "statefull" method, which would allow DNS to come back if you initiated the request, but it would block a NEW request that originated outside. So it will probably say your port 53 is blocked.
From the article:
"Researchers believe that many bad requests occur because organizations have misconfigured packet filters and firewalls, security mechanisms intended to restrict certain types of network traffic. When packet filters and firewalls allow outgoing DNS queries, but block the resulting incoming responses..."
It's nice to see a story with info I can take and use. This is actually "stuff that matters". Kudos to the researchers, and now I am off to check my firewall.
Oh wait, disposable != recycleable. My bad.
Well, on second thought, I think most Yugo parts were pulled from old Soviet tractors so maybe they were *already* recycled before you bought it. Now that's "Thinking Green"!
My 6 month old eats breast milk and pureed vegetables, and I challenge ANYONE to describe his poop as "interestingly aromatic". Even on pure milk his shit smelled like.... well, you know.
A kids diaper can gag a maggot at 50 paces, meat or no meat.
I haven't seen a 5 year old kid yet who wasn't scared of Mickey Mouse the first time they saw him "in person". This "attraction" will have them sitting in the corner rocking back and forth all night saying "Can't sleep, monster will get me. Can't sleep, monster will get me".
The best thing about that game was the flame wars on usenet between the creator and all the suckers that shelled out for it. Ah, Derek Smart, where art thou?
*goes to mirror, looks in with anticipation* *sigh*
Rats, I'm still the same "slightly less hairy, and only -slightly- more intelligent than the one's they keep in zoos" monkey I was when I woke up.
How about anybody else out there? Anyone have better luck than me?
"Now that LACNIC (the Latin and Central America Registry) has signed up with ICANN there is pressure on the Africans to double their efforts to finalise AFRINIC."
Shouldn't they really call themselves "AFRICANN"? Come on, that seems like a no brainer.
that one of them is a practical joker. American Scientist "And that concludes this historic First Ever Trans-Atlantic Handshake." Brit scientist (to his buddies) "He he, he thinks the glove is on my hand!"
I was in a secret railroad switch-house last week, and I stumbled upon a locomotive that had been sitting there since 1880. It was fusion powered. The reactor ran on GARBAGE no less! It could levitate and even looked capable of time travel. The security guard who let me in said his only instructions were to wait for a man named "Doc Brown" to show up.
From the article: "Starting in the mid-1980s, Gibson, who was a stunt double for action star Chuck Norris, ran a side business exhibiting his rocket belts at cultural and sporting events around the world."
I remember seeing this during the intermission of "M. Butterfly". It really woke up the crowd!

Sir, you praise me in the highest manner possible. I thank you for it.

Welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway. Where everything is made up, and the points are so worthless they might as well end in "dot com".
Just about fell off the couch when he said that.
That way we could get our industry up to the same level of service as Airline Security personnel.
Hmmmm. Can't wait to get home and grill up a nice fortified nutritional yeast flake.

I have been not getting action from women all over the world for years! Glad to have you aboard, though.

Do I see an Apple "switcher" ad featuring CmdrTaco in the near future?

Quote "ExtremeTech tested the stock version of each car, but also added a faster engine to the ZipZap to see if it would boost speed."
Was there really any question about this? What's the next "experiment"? Placing a cinder block on it and seeing if that affects its handling?
And I thought HBO had the best drama's on TV.
All they need to add is Rosie O'Donnell in a cameo as "The AIMster Girl".
What was it like working with Al Gore?
Wait for it.......

Now THAT'S news for nerds.
Someone, somewhere has cloned Jon Katz.
