Not so bad for 2 simple Dell workstation-class PCs. Glad to see they can take that kind of hammering and still live; cheers to the High Availability development crew.
At first I thought maybe this guy was a DBA or Sys Admin at the company, but an outsider? This is unacceptable for a place that stores such sensitive data.
Who knows? It could have been a sys admin with root-level access. But still, had there been a decent accounting procedure in place, they would have known when the information was taken.
Remember when the Feds snatching this guy from Intel was a big deal here at/.? When we all thought that the FBI was overstepping their bounds? When we all thought that they were wrong; that an Intel engineer couldn't possibly be guilty?
Just what are the secrets to a successful (measured by lots of contributors, etc) project...or am I just not defining success correctly?
The definition of success varies from project to project in open source. Many would say that you're successful, you took an open source project and extended it to your needs, that is one of the fundamentals of open source.
Not all open souce projects are going to be as wide spread as Linux or Apache, but is wide spread adoption really what you're looking for? It's great that you were able to extend this program, and its even better that there are other people using it, even though your following may be very small.
In the name of Open Source, I think you've succeeded.
Havent thought about this before, but if the Linksys router uses Linux 2.4.x, and Cisco owns Linksys, then Cisco can join the fight against SCO. If SCO is claiming that kernel 2.4.x infringes on its IP, then Linksys/Cisco should be fighting not to pay ~$700 per router they've sold.
MS Bob was a bad idea not only programmatically, but also conceptually. A 'virtual office'? It defeated the idea of computing as an office aide, and more of an office replacement.
Truly an example of why coding to the lowest common denominator of users can be a bad idea.

Compile, install, enjoy.
I can see it now, after the trial is over, and SCO is decimated, IBM's chief attorney:
"0wn3d!!"

If Win2k gets a higher rating than Linux, then why do we have stuff like this happening?
Isn't it odd that a "comprehensive security rating" can overlook something as serious as a complete remote compromise?
But it's so priceless, on the page of ''Why you should care", they say:
When you download movies illegally from the internet, you're breaking the law.
genius...
If we need to refer to it then use the initial letters of its name... DoHs
Sounds too much like DOS.
oh, wait....
expoit here
why not, i got karma to burn...

Sweet Christ, that was frightening.
Oh lord, variable names/function calls with whitespace.
That would truly make perl executable line noise.
I realize it's just humor, but the point of the RIAA's suits is to deter people from using p2p under fear that they will get sued.
;)
But if there are 60 million p2p users, the probability of getting sued is pretty low, even if it does depend on the number of files you have shared.
Perhaps the next version of KaZaA will have a suit-o-meter, that will actively display your probability of being sued by the RIAA
Wait for it.....wait for it.....

there it is!

These guys are shills for Microsoft.
The site www.gartner.com is running Netscape-Enterprise/6.0 on Solaris 8.
uh huh...
So you let this 'solution' download and install software without your approval?
I sure hope that isn't a production environment.
McBride? Cut.
Bench? Cut.
Wilson? Cut.
Hunsaker? Cut.
Sontag? Cut.
Broughton? Cut.
Gasparro? Cut.
McBr....hey, I cut you!
Again is applied the rule of : If you have physical access to the machine, you can own it.
Nothing new here...
Having famous, reputable organizations defying the RIAA is very important...
...not to mention that MIT is an 800lb gorilla in the world of academia and has enough money to pound the shit out of whoever crosses them.
Not to mention passive/agressive.
Set up a Yahoo shop and sell lawsuits against SCO for $19.99. Accept credit card/paypal/personal check.
You'd be the Ron Popeil of the tech world.
Ouch. We lose.
...hunts for win2k server install disc...
What's a jiffie?
no troll, i really don't know.
