Wouldn't the comma be a character that needs counted? Bush,Jr should equal 7 for a 667. One worse then 666. Now you should be scared, it is like the awesomeness of a stereo volume going all the way to 11 instead of ten. Except this time it is the number of the beast!:0 If that were the case, then he would be the neighbor of the beast, across the street. I wonder if he gets invited over for BBQ on weekends.
I just had a headhunter call me the other day regarding an open position at SomeBigSearch Engine. I had never conducted business with me before. We had never talked. In order to submit my application to the company, he stated that he needed me to give him my SSN#. I spent several minutes explaining that I do not give out my SSN to strangers, never mind when I initially submit my resume to a company. He was incredulous at my reluctance. Now, I'd imagine there is a huge untapped market, of soon to be graduating students, here. I'd bet there is a good entry level organized crime position just waiting to be filled cold-calling prospective employees.
True, Cisco did release this announcement of _a_ vulnerabiltiy; but, if you take a look at the pdf of the presentation that Lynn gave at the Black Hat conference, you will see that this is not directly related to what he is demontrating. His is a genreal approach to identifying and potentially exploiting IOS code. What Lynn revealed is _not_ tied to a particular IOS code rev, protocol, or Cisco device.
In other words, any IOS is still potentially vulnerable. Unfortunately, Cisco, while trying to keep the horse in the barn, has instead set the barn on fire, in lending far more controversy to this issue.
Somehow, I'm not surprised that someone has a Crazy Eddie tribute site Crazy Eddie
Here is one of their commercials for viewing pleasure(real player only):
As of late September, Lycoris announced that it would handle the development and support of SME server. This is a customised RedHat Linux mail-server/gateway package that appears to have a substantial install base in K-12 school districts, as well as in my company. Additionally, they just migrated contribs.org, SMEs primary developer and support forums, over to their datacenter. Personally, I've found the site to be an invaluable resource for supporting this platform.
Well, your commentary upon his writing style actually compelled me to go ahead and try to RTFA. Congratulations, you made the author's writing style sound as if it would be somewhat compelling, although cheesy in the end. Then, when I began the article...Well, crap! I was probably 1.5 sentences into it when my eyes glazed over and realized that this was yet another stupid, stupid article trying to extricate the "real" meaning of the word hacker from what general public might perceive them to be.... geez, no thanks. I'd rather reply to your fairly articulate commentary....Damn you! My eyes. If I want to read this sort of tripe I'll hunt down some ESR, thanks. Again, DAMN YOU for trickin me into almost RTFA...
While this is true, there is also the issue of liscensing to contend with. Additionaly, I have found it quite easy/common to find myself disconnected from a Windows Remote desktop session, only to find that the session has only hung, and not terminated. On several occasions, this resulted in the maximum allowed remote users. Thus, I found myself unable to resume _any_ session via remote desktop. That is where RealVNC, or as a last resort , an ssh shell come to the rescue. From one of these, I can terminate the hung Windows Remote desktop session and resume my work on the remote Windows bos. That being said, for managing MS servers, I find the Remote Desktop Client to be only slightly preferrable to RealVNC. I still have some concerns in the back of my head in regards to the security issues of this, though.
I've recently become responsible for administering an SME/e-smith mailserver and, to be honest, I find that customising the server, beyond any of the parameters provided by the web interface, is painful.
I can't even add an entry to the/etc/hosts
without jumping through the convoluted hoops of expanding custom templates, and such. I do realize that this is meant to streamline the configuration for the non-technical admins; but, for the time being, I find that adding any functionality to the server, such as snmp capability, or installing SpamAssassin, to be a nuisance, at best.
And I can't believe it took almost seven hours for one of you pedants to raise your head our of your hidey-hole to take the bait....I guess one need to be patient while hunting you critters.
Well, if you perform a search on the term "Internet Security" in A9, the first image to be returned is that of someone placing a condom onto the RJ-45 jack of an Ethernet cable:
Well, at least for me. Since I installed Freenet, about a month ago, I have been unable to get all of the graphics to load on my gateway, nevermind getting a web page *out there on the Freenet* to completely render in anything less than 30min-hour. Considering that I am on dial-up, I wasn't really surprised; but, I was still curious about the project, gui, etc. However, now(at least since this link appeared on Slashdot, I've been able to browse at least 4 or five pages in the past 5 minutes. Granted, like someone else had written I does taste quite a bit like NS Gold on a 14.4 connection; but, I was quite surprised that a posting to Slashdot would actually _help_ a network. Thanks again, Slashdot!!
I'd have to agree with you about the Indigo boxes. They were absolutely _amazing_ when it came to rendering high resolution graphics. I was running the IRIS department in a small graphics shop back in '95 or so; and we had two IRIX boxes on which we would render files from boeing's design department. They would send us 500Mb files that consisted of the interiors of their planes. We'd get three or four files that contained subtle changes in how the upholstry and interior of the plane would appear. The time it took to rasterize and prep them for printing out at 1200 dpi at 30x40 inches would be a fraction(say five-ten minutes) of the time compared to our MAC and PC files. These were done on bare bones INDIGO systems. Whereas taking files half( or a quarter) their size on a Mac or PC that had been stuffed full of RAM and HD/Swap space would literally take upwards of an hour or more. I was impressed with how these systems could take highly complex, ray-traced graphics and rip through them like a windows system might open up a 3 meg.doc file. Of course, the Windows sytems were running 3.11 at the time:-), and the macs had system 7(??_ at the time. Truly an underappreciated, and highly marginalized system as far as graphics, and rendering goes...

Well, it's really not necessary to RFC the CARP protocol as it will not prevent it from being patented, if that is the case with VRRP. VRRP had been published in RFC form for quite some time(April 1998):Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol I'm not familiar with the detail regarding Cisco appropriating this protocol, though I though VRRP was developed as an alternate to Cisco's HSRP, and had been included in various competing load balancers(Alteon?), prior to Cisco implementing the protocol(actually prior to purchasing the CSS product line)

Crazy Eddie commercial
Reminds me of the Crazy Eddie electronics outlet commercials, that used to air on the east coast in the early 80's.
This sounds very similar to the racks I saw being used by Hotmail back around 1999-2000, in the Exodus datacenter down in Sanata Clara.
You just missed them (as did I). THey played a sold out show at the Paramount on the November 10th.
"Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator."
So, let me see if I've got this right. Is Jeff the anti-Lars? or is Lars(Ulrich) the anti-Tweedy?
