I don't know. brucecampbell.com mentions nothing about this, and that site is usually right on top of Bruce's projects. I won't believe this until one of them confirms it.
Exchange is great because it stores all your emails on a central server, and with the proper backup agents you can restore individual messages rather than entire mailboxes when something does get deleted. This saves a lot of time when somthing does need to be restored.
Yeah, because look at how secure 3COM's officeconnect firewalls are. If you are a neophite to networking, then you can go with a 3com "my first NAT device" or now, a 3com "my first router". But if you have an office enviorment, you might want to look at a real security product, such as a PIX.
You hit it on the head with the GUI I think. Anyone that ever used a windows station could feel comfortable on an NT server. And they were extremely slow to adopt TCP/IP, Sure IPX worked, but TCP/IP was needed for the internet anyways.. so they were basically forcing offices to run both protocols until they released netware 5 back around 98.
I thought what they were saying is that the main dns hosts for those sites was Akamai. So any DNS server with a fresh cache would be directed to Akamai server's to resolve the names, which would have returned an incorrect value, even dnsstuff.
Well, not really. First, as with any IDP sensor, you need to tune it. That is, you run it for a few weeks without blocking traffic, find out what is normal for your network, and then set it to block based on a rule system learned from your tuning. Next, if there is a false alarm, you should set it to not block all traffic from the outside world, just traffic from the host that is causing that alarm, and for whatever default period of time you think is significant (15 min, etc.) If you take your time, and tune the system properly, you will find that you won't have too many instances of interuption of service from legit visitors.
Actually, there were a ton of BBS's that charged. I ran an 12-line BBS that charged $.30/hour (Big bucks, ahh yeah). So if you had a password for a paying account, you could use it to transfer credits to a non-paying account, or just to access the site for free. Passwords have always had a purpose.
"Neither the official DVD player (provided you've purchased the remote) or the stock DVDX2 (the foremost DVD player for the XBox for the uninitiated) support progressive scan playback of DVDs. There are hacked versions of DVDX2 floating around which do, but unless you've specifically found one of these chances are DVDX2 is using 480i for playback, if you're even using component output
ISP's do that on purpose to home users. For example, I have a cable modem at my house. I get a public IP through DHCP, even though I have a public IP, my cable provider still blocks basic incomming ports to my address (80, 443, 25, 110, 20, 21, 53, etc..) because they want me to pay more for those services and upgrade to a business class account. It sucks, but its how things are.
If your a medium or large sized business, you usually have your own block of IP addresses and have two or more routes coming into your network via BGP, and you control your entire IP scheme.
For smaller businesses, it is a concern. But its not that big of a deal to get around it. We provide internet connectivity to hundreds of clients, and have several different subnets we use if their is a conflict with the client. Good IP planning really solves the majority of these issues
Nonsense, I think most of us do it because it makes good sense. You don't want your local network having a public IP address, even if you do have a firewall and the best IDP system available. Why create the risk? And even if you have a public server with a public IP address, most firewall's require you to NAT the public IP address anyways if you are nat'ing anything behind the firewall. (usually you nat it to itself, but nat'ing none the less)
Now that depends on the Trojan. If the connection were initiated from the infected machine, then that would not solve the problem. A IDS system could detect the suspect the traffic, but currently the time / money/effort that it costs to implement a good network level IDS system, you're not going to see it on home broadband connections anytime soon.
I didn't actually see anything in those articles that said it was MS systems that were running the safety at the nuclear plant. All I could see is that the bandwidth had dropped due to the slammer worm and that a display monitor was disabled due to multiple scan attempts. This tells me that there were MS systems that were affected on their network segment, but it never says that the safety systems themselves were MS systems.
They are assuming the ports were not blocked. Which is crap, I've been to dozens of companies in the past week who are blocking all incoming ports and still got infected by this virus. These companies also had SAV corporate edition which was configured to update the definations via a FTP script, so they were actually getting their definations updated daily rather than the crappy live update which updates about once a week. Granted, they should have patched their systems when the RPC flaw was first exposed, but you shouldn't be so quick to point fingers.

I just started reading Jordan about a month ago. I'm on book 4 now of the wheel of time series, and its just interesting enough to keep me reading the next book. It frustrates me though, because its chapters and chapters of boring pages, and then a few pages of something really cool, and then again chapters and chapters of him repeating himself, or going on forever about a boring part of the story that never resurfaces, and then again a few really cool pages. He seems to have a good story, but he seems to be really bad at telling it. Just my opinion.

Thanks.
Apparently you have never used Bordermanager.
So, since Episode 3 just broke the box office opening day revenue record are they saying that Bittorrent is a good thing?

4.11 was good, but I think most techs would say Netware 3.2 was the most stable file-server OS on Earth.. because it was far more stable than 4.11
Also, Bordermanager was the worst product Novell ever produced.

No, Cisco has life-time warranties on their switches.. with or without a smartnet.

And its 445, not 444. 135,139, 445, and 593 are the four ports you most need to worry about.

Martin is writing a perspective from Cersei in book 4. That should be interesting as well.
