Two-factor authentication is great. But if you write down your password, that "something you know" becomes "something you have". A password becomes a "key", and can be taken away from you.

"Akamai is confirming that network outages this morning were caused by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that affected its DNS management system. The performance problems affected Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and antivirus update services from Symantec and TrendMicro, which are among Akamai's 1,100 customers. Some of the largest affected sites were able to switch their DNS settings to their internal network, rather than akadns.net, which handles domain name service management for Akamai customers. The akadns.net system routs requests for high-volume customer web pages to content stored on its network of distributed servers, easing traffic to the client's main server and speeding delivery to the end user. Akamai performs similar function for downloads of audio and video files, software patches and antivirus definitions.
The outages mark the second disruption of Akamai's network in less than a month, following a similar incident May 24. " - Netcraft
"Yahoo and Google have both been hit by a DoS attack. The attack has been hitting Google, Yahoo, and other sites that include Microsoft for the past couple of hours. The attacks started this morning and it was detected by Keynote Systems, a web tracking company that is able to track the load and bandwidth on the Internet. According to Keynote they saw an "Internet performance issue" this morning.
"The availability issues were limited to several large sites, all of whom outsource their domain name server (DNS) services to Akamai. These sites dropped to near-zero availability," a spokesman for Keynote said. They have tracked the attacker back to person that is at the Akamai Technologies ISP. No other information has been given to us at this time. We do not know if the FBI is working on this issue right now, but we expect them to do so. "
Seems to me like this, or a similar technology would be just the ticket to stop pirates from nabbing ships and their cargo.
I've been thinking that an rf transmitter tag with gps interface would work well.
I've built one based on a gps receiver, 2 meter ham radio, and the TinyTrack II Works great in my car, and with the ham radio APRS infrastructure... now how to convert to a ship in the ocean.

No, it was the 40th.

I prefer FreeWorld Dialup as a great way to go for voip:
- standards based
- Free
- Windows , Linux and pocketpc clients available
- Call 800 numbers and more
- Call to/from vonage customers
- get free phone number and have people call you
- Get a wisip phone (WiFi SIP) and you have the closest thing to a IP mobile phone you can get.

I don't get it. The Average Slashdotter sez:
Freedom of Speech: YAY!
Timeshifting media: YAY!
Podcasting: BOO!
Then why all these "podcasting sucks" comments?

Dumb article. They claim "World's biggest hacker", and don't even give his weight.
Why is this modded funny?
I totally agree with you. Why encrypt at the wifi layer when you can encrypt at the tcp/ip level with VPN, etc.
There. Problem solved.

"Naw, it's a Level 5, but I upgraded the transmatic illudium vector sub processor, so it's about as good as a Level 6."
"No way...... The Level 6 has the super ultra mega dynamo, "
"Oh yeah. I guess it's a really like the level 5.5a, then."
"I suppose so. Say, did you see the new Level 37? Man, that's a sweet computer".

Yeah, WHATEVER, SBC...
I'm still waiting for SBC's Project Pronto.
Where'd that go? Well, it went nowhere fast
Sometimes I wonder if SBC says these things just to scare away their competition.

I'm currently running windows and ipaq (pocketpc 2002) clients fine. And calling my home vonage service - no problem!

It's not a DOS attack, it is a DDOS attack
When I posted my query the news hadn't hit the wire.
Do your homework, MAN.
But I did just answer my own question.

Actually, I have been having resolution issues into yahoo via akamai on and off for a couple weeks.
But I want to know WHY akamai was having a problem. What's the scoop?
... couples that play together stay together.
And that's not just games, if you know what I mean.

Well... maybe not found it... but sure found a replacement!

In 100 years we'll probably address everything with brainwaves or someting.
Yeah, especially since, aparently, the thing looks like a black dildo...
So I wonder why it's listed in Consumer Electronics > Radios: CB, Ham & Shortwave > Ham Radio > Accessories > Antennas?
Shouldn't it be in Home > All Categories > Toys & Hobbies > Models, Kits > Air ?
Perhaps they were worried that those ebayers would place bids for 100,000 of This
