sealing it up in plastic and duct tape just in case the building got dusted with ash. Yeah, right!
that's not all that far fetched. buildings in the area of WTC on 9/11/2001 were all dusty on the inside from the collapsed towers. additionally - there was a museum that saved their inventory by closing off the vents and other ductwork before the two towers fell.
maybe not office, but he may just be trying to push something in terms of patent reform. lord knows he's got the readership to pull off such an agenda, if even to just raise awareness of the issue. i might just have to start reading his magazine more regularly:-)
i think that story is from this morning. looking at "live" shots of baghdad dont really show any activity other than an occasional car driving by the camera. no booms, no flashes of light, etc.
I'm watching ABC and they arent saying anything like that. They're actually saying "Shock & Awe" might be delayed because of possible successes in the strikes the other night.
... a story i heard a while back regarding script kiddies.
some researchers set up a unix server, went into a script kiddies irc channel and said they found this wide open windows box, saying it contained credit card numbers or something like that, giving the ip of their honeypot.
not one kiddie tried a unix sploit on the box, 100% of the attempts were exploits designed for windows.
so for fooling nmap, if you're a security admin, set up your windows boxen with unix fingerprints and vice/versa, and you'll at least avoid getting r00ted by most script kiddies. just continue to be aware of the dedicated cracker whose above the ranks of kiddies.
by having stores not be permitted to sell M-rated games to under 17'ers, Y-14 to under 13ers, etc. (iirc - WalMart does this)
The MPAA already does (voluntarily, not by law) this with movies rated NC17, R, PG-13, etc.
Flaws exist in both (just ask the many 12 year olds who have slipped into R movies), and not all video stores honor those ratings when kids check out movies (and for that matter, games, should such be implemented). But it's a lot better than having the feds regulate it.
I recommend listening to a few innings of Harry Kalas (especially home run calls), broadcaster of the Phillies. He was inducted to the Hall of Fame last August, and was described as a man whose voice stirs excitement by reading the phone book. Kalas generally does innings 1-3 & 7-9 & extras on TV, 4-6 on the radio.
I think the next Harry Carey caliber broadcaster is out there and will be found.
IMO - the best broadcasters are those who dedicate themselves to one team (like Carey did for the Cubs, Kalas for the Phils), not those national guys who come in and do a weekly game of the week.
I think this is for something like authenticating users on internal govenrment networks, a place I dont want MS to be given thier security track record.
no, the problem you describe is the problem of everyone using the same implementation of a standard. "standards" go through much more scrutiny than do implementations, especially when that standard is an authentication system.
eg - recall recently one of the root dns servers moved away from bind in case bind were to have some unknown flaw that was exploited and used to shut down all the root servers.
thank you. i had a feeling that _all_ the software on a machine was overkill.
red hat's up2date tool, otoh, probably does send a list of all the rpm's installed on your machine in order to know what rpm's are in need of updating.
yes, I have read it. the book is about teaching people to not take what people say as truth, and to not always believe who someone says they are. the book was about defending against social engineering attacks - which is what happened to AOL.
...there's a Do Not Call list, and the State Attorney General is enforcing it. Earlier this week they fined two companies (I think they're ski resorts) for violating the list: http://www.philly.com/mld/dailynews/news/local/516 1728.htm (scroll about 3/4 down)

did anyone else read that headline and think 10K as in the size of the disk? we've had those for quite some time now, right?
reminds me of Jay Leno's comment on airports and their profiling techniques:
"If you're first name is Mohammad, and your last name isn't Ali, you may want to allow more time at the airport."
some people claim that that games like GTA:VC cause influences in their behavior.
i think they're right. ever since i've been playing, i've been on a kick for 80's music.
nah, aol wont want that. the RIAA on the other hand......
thank you. i had a feeling that _all_ the software on a machine was overkill.

yeah, i sure know my math: 12 * 3 = 72. That should be 36 hours.
wow .. and some people agonize over a network latency of a few seconds, imagine forcing them to wait 72 hours just for TCP's 3-way handshake!
actually, the c&d letter alternatively asked him to note that "Google" is a of Google Technology Inc. Which is what he appears to have done.
Naturally, the submitter above chose to ignore that and focus on the "please remove" part of the letter.
just repeated what you did - logged out, checked all sections, etc. couldnt find it.
Logged back in, where i do have Collapse Sections enabled.
Tried taking the url from where i was logged in, logged out and pasted the url in, found it ok.
As another said - they might have to repost it.

ah, but that didnt require someone calling Kevin's company and weasling out a passwd or IM'ing someone there and convincing them to plant a trojan.
This incident with AOL did.
From the Wired article:
The hack involves tricking an AOL employee into accepting a file using Instant Messenger or uploading a Trojan horse to an AOL file library.
Sounds like AOL needs to read Mitnick's book - The Art of Deception.
Your gift for V-Day?
Sent it in last night -- rejected.
But in my experiences, HTTP for whatever reason goes faster (not entirely sure why), and FTP doesnt work for some because of firewalls.
Try both - see which gets used more.
