No, you won't be allowed. Think about it. You have to submit your plan to the AG. They approve it. You then only get to target the offending machine not their entire network.
The kicker is this. If your DoS does more than $250 of commercial damage to their system they can appeal to the AG and get an order for you to stop. For some nobody sitting on a cable modem this isn't an easy claim, however, for the likes of the MPAA or the RIAA this is a no-brainer. Any system you bring down will obviously be costing them $1000s and they have the accountants to cook those numbers right. Hell, one hour of a sysadmin's time to figure out they are being attacked would do it.
This bill does not protect the little guy one bit.
See, I would have rejected you too having seen the women where I work. And forget about the men hugging me. I just don't embrace my feminine side or inner child or whatever.
Now if you had phrased it "[Cute females | Hot males] will bow and serve their Sysadmin masters for a day" I could have dug that for a headline. Need that regular expression in there so our fellow female or gay sysadmins wouldn't feel left out. I mean we do need to be inclusive. After all Exchange admins get to celebrate too.
Remember folks, it's not what you can contribute but how you present it that counts.
You need a single vendor to focus on the desktop, buy/merge/obtain whatever technologies will enhance the user's experience and fork up a budget for an excellent marketing campaign. Say like what IBM should have done when they released WARP and paid up some money to Paramount to use Star Trek instead of having some cardboard suit talk to a moron going through an acid flashback.
Of course, the second the community sees a company like this they'll point to it like pod people and proclaim it to be "Nothing better than Microsoft."
IMNSHO, what's needed for a good start is for some vendor to take a distro and cut out 99% of the junk^H^H^H^Hextras. Grandma don't need sendmail, or BIND, or apache, or 15 different network monitoring utilities, or a compiler, etc., etc.. Next come up with some good applets to configure the system and finally a decent system to upgrade binary packages, including the kernel.
Much more likely to happen than every linux company out there moving to one grand unified distro.
Track down the people who did abuse the system and sell the contact info so people can let Johnny's parents/spouse/offspring/place of employment know what he's been posting lately.
PROFIT! And beatings and divorces and life-long trauma and firings....
Could we back that up with something more than "it sucked?" The only SANS event I've been able to attend was a securing IIS course in Chicago and I personally got a lot out of it. The course was supposed to end at five but was still going strong when I left at 5:45. According to the instructor, some of the other seminars lasted until 8 pm.
Yes, a good part of the class could have been seen as an overview for an experienced webmin and one guy did seem unimpressed by what was offered (he left iirc), however, at the time I wasn't experienced. I came back to work with some good, practical knowledge and didn't have to spend an hour here and an hour there reading web pages offered by google. IMNSHO, best $300 bucks I've gotten the company to spend on me. Oh all right, second best. Best was the $150 bucks to attend a seminar by Radia Perlman.
Did I mention this course was just after 9-11 and SANS really worked their collective butts off to get him to Chicago? Dedicated, experienced instructors; decent course material; and good delivery of content. If work would pay for the travel expensives I'd gladly volunteer to help run the conference and wedge in a track.
No, music is a luxury. As much as I love listening to it I don't need a CD's worth of music per week to survive.
The moral thing to do is make sure the artist gets paid which is something the current P2P solutions do not do. If you can't afford it then turn on the radio.
My personal opinion on it is Osborn looks like the posterboy for steroids abuse. At least the silver lining in this story is he probably can't contribute to the gene pool anymore.

You browse at +5 'round these here parts don't you pard'ner?
Anyway, if it offends you soooooo much, why don't you exclude the topic from your homepage? Heretic that I am, I exclude Star Wars items from my homepage. You don't see me bitching about why oh why did they put up yet another SW trailer story now do you?
And Perfect Blue or Graveyard of the Fireflies are not kidde shows fwiw.
Actually you are about to find that out at 9a.m. tomorrow morning when the SC rules on school choice. I think that is going to be the bell-weather in determining where this current ruling gets appealed to next.
I wonder how accurate that poll was and how people interpreted it. Was it Freedom==Rights or Freedom==convenience?
How about real questions like "To protect yourself from terrorism would you be willing to give up your right to legal counsel?", "Would you give up your right to criticise the government?", "Would you endorse a law to curtail the information the press can give you?", "Would you be willing to revoke the 2nd admendment and make all purchases of handguns illegal for US citizens?", "Would you endorse a policy to register all persons of Islamic faith?", "Would you be willing to give the government access to all your personal correspondance or to all your property?"
Those are questions dealing with rights. Standing in line at the airport for two hours is an issue of convenience. Now when Americans confuse those two then it is a sad day indeed.
music is an impulse buy. When I go to the mall and any cd I want is priced at $20 it kills my impulse to buy it.
I've never gotten into the P2P scene. I've downloaded a handful of songs and personally I'd just rather own the CD. But with the economy the way it is prying me from my friend Jackson takes a lot more than my desire to listen to music.
What's really funny is if they sold the CDs for ten bucks I'd probably buy two and the RIAA would get my twenty bucks. Moby can try to pin it on the techies however much he wants but from where I sit it's the economy more than piracy.
Say "thanks" to US lawyers and Powers That Be for allowing that nightmare to come true.
I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here for just a moment....
Say "thanks" to US lawyers and Powers That Be for allowing this $350 billion dollar a year industry to come true.
IIRC, it was the Supreme Court that ruled "everything under the sun made by man can be patented." My personal bias aside, it is the argument above that will actually have to be refuted if you want patent reform imho because Congress will be listening to the industry and not to an unorganized group of programmers if and when they even considered the act of congress it would probably take to modify patent law.
Have management amend the usage policy to require all corporate data be retained on network servers and have legal go over it. Include the obligatory "failure to comply can result in disciplary action up to and including termination." Make them sign the form and verify they didn't pen anything out. If they try, remind them of the recent disaster and politely inform them that employment is "at will."
Make sure management gives the policy some teeth and after losing six years of data I don't see how that can be a difficult issue. This is probably the best way to CYA in a situation like this. imho.
Because you can close the source and implement your proprietary and non-peer reviewed encryption algorithm which your marketing department then lovingly advertises as state-of the-art 2 million bits of enterprise level security.
Too bad that in the end some sophmore crypto analyst can determine at a glance that what's actually been built is a Rube Goldberg version of ROT13 but you've got that wonderful EULA effectively covering your ass. So why worry. You're getting CIOs to contribute to a $350 billion dollar industy. What a patriot!
Try this. I have a number of devices monitored by MRTG. I open a new Mozilla window and click on a group of bookmarks for the pages I want to view. Or I dedicate a window to support sites like say Cisco, Novell and TechNet.
Maybe not how everyone would handle it but in these cases I think bookmarks are more efficient.
Let's ignore the fact that in every other app within Mozilla (Chat, Mail, Composer, etc.) the option to end Mozilla entirely is Exit.
Overall, this isn't a huge deal. Somebody just needs to change the menu and hotkey. Or decide this tool shouldn't be able to completely exit Mozilla or....
Umm, because there is factual info on what their plans are? There is a release schedule available? It explains how these 4 companies are going to use UnitedLinux in their individual products?
You find out they are going to standardize on KDE? Oooo, that was a surprise there.:)
Just felt it would be better to reply rather than mod you down. Who knows you may have been joking....
Yes, but it's people like me who reccomend linux distros to management and I would actively torpedo any RH solution if they were stupid enough to betray the community with some patent issue.
Heck, I could download RH 7.3 for free, install it on a thousand servers and get my support from a third party. Redhat would never see a dime. From the articles I've read which have reviewed professional support for linux I'm extremely confident that I have more choices than just RH for a support contract.
You vastly undersell the value of RH's branding and goodwill within the linux community imo.
How many pages of classified does a metro carry? How may pages of employment? How about Obits? Engagement announcements? Real Estate? Each person who places an ad is paying money by the line. Maybe not the amount an anchor store pays for a double page ad (those are 7 figure contracts for the year btw) but all those smaller ads, no pun intended, add up.

It should be:
I think my point still stands which is the little guy is not going to be able to do this to a big company.
