  1. Re:Doesn't make sense on More on Last Year's Cisco Source Code Theft · · Score: 2, Interesting

    From the tone of the article, it seems that a keylogger was used to grab passwords from a cisco user, which were then used from machines in that lab remotely exploited by an ssh rootkit.

    If you kept your receipt and it's in new condition, you can get a refund. Most stores will only honor their "Returns of the Jedi" policy for 30 days, however.

    Tell that to the first guy to fly into the tower because he COULDN"T SEE THE TOWER. There is a reason the toweres I see are neon orange with red blinking lights.

    Additionally, be sure to use visual aids so that the stain that used to be the pilot will understand.

    Of course. He's not going to be remembered by those who knew nothing about him.

    Point taken. I was thinking along the lines of Walmarts trademarks being used to parody corporatism in general, but then again, Walmart pretty much embodies corporatism in general.

    Uh, no. There is no gray - it is very much black and white.


    Not quite. Remember the case with Penny Arcade and American Greetings? They made a parody of their Strawberry Shortcake in the style of an American McGee's Alice game.

    IIRC, it wasn't protected as a parody since they weren't parodying Strawberry Shortcake, but using that character to parody something else (American McGee, in this case).

  18. Re:Careful! on Web Site Attacks Are On The Rise · · Score: 2, Insightful

    However the ISPs here are common carriers, they cannot (and I do not want then to) track ever IP packet that travels over their network.

    Food for thought..

    Telephone companies are common carriers too. Most, if not all of them, have annoyance call bureaus to handle people receiving chronic crank calls and such. If a phone company can block and trace annoying calls for customers without losing cc status, why can't an ISP offer a similar service?

    I know many hide their tracks via misconfigured proxies, but maybe some dent can be made.

    Website attacks are definitely on the rise. Last week, police arrested askjeeves.com for suspicion in a string of armed robberies.

  20. Re:Send in the Clones! on White House: No Kerry Supporters at IATC Meeting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It has been shown throughout history that a weaker force can win and overthrow a dominating military power.

    At one time that was true. In the days of the American Revolution, weaponry was fairly evenly matched. They had muskets, we had muskets. They had cannons, we had cannons, and so on. Today, no private citzens arsenal could come close to the artillery, jets, tanks, and satellite systems that are the bread and butter of todays armed forces.

    If the US has an armed rebellion again, you're making the faulty assumption that the entire US military would willingly turn on its own countrymen.

    You bet your ass they would. If you're taught from day one to take orders and carry them out without question, you're not going to stop and play 20 questions when your superior officer orders you to fire on an enemy position.

  21. Re:I, Robot didn't suck. on BBC Reviews Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy · · Score: 1

    I, Robot didn't suck. It just had absolutly nothing to do with the book. I bet your opinion of it would be a lot higher if they had stuck with the original title, "Hardwired".

    They could have had a nod to the book and an original title if they called it "This, Sucks".

    Yes, the bill is written that way. So you could potentially spend 3000 years in jail under your scenario. Think about it.
