    good luck trying to read an NTFS partition with japanese filenames in OSX though. finder can't access the folders, and you aren't allowed to rename the directories.

    even better is to just make a dns entry for that.

    and for those "edumucated" leet hax0rs who have learned that 127.0.0.1 = loopback, just make it 127.92.36.148 or something.

    leetwarez.somedomain.com -> 127.92.36.148

  10. Re:BSD Secure Levels on The Planet's Most Moronic Hacker · · Score: 1

    I'd love to be able to do more than that though.

    Like being able to "noexec" on an entire directory, without having to break up the filesystem into separate partitions. 'chattr +n /var/tmp' or something like that.

    Making an entire directory immutable would be great too. Eg 'chattr +i /bin' -- sadly thats not possible either.

    grsecurity and lids are both capable of some of these things, but they are big scary kernel patches and each have a different approach to things, with their own configs and toolsets. And both can be pretty confusing.

    Enough of us have encountered variations of "127.0.0.1 hax0rz" ourselves, to know it is not only feasible, but quite likely.

    The sheer number of idiots out there with terminal cases of modem machismo, combined with the billions of DIY-scriptkiddie sites, guarantees that stuff like this happens.

    canon's cameras work just fine on its own without having to install crappy software or hack shit.

    the canon rebel is a really nice camera for under $1000 and nikon doesnt have anything in the same price bracket that comes anywhere close.

    welcome to vendor lock-in.

    fwiw i prefer canon, their prosumer stuff is much better than nikon's offerings. i don't have $10k to plonk down on a pro DSLR but canon's $1k stuff blows away anything nikon has in the same bracket.

    this encrypted whitebalance crap is just another reason to avoid nikon.
