I have read my set of Lord of the Rings more than 3 times now and still they are immaculate
What? Only 3 times? For shame. I've probably read my copy 3 times this year. I had to buy a new copy, because the other copy wore out.
Same thing with a Bible. If it is still in pristine condition, then what good does it do? I prefer the much used appearance. Any book that is in new condition hasn't been used much, and I have to wonder why money was spent to put it on a dusty shelf.
The whole issue is not to use insecure languages like C
I can see that you are not a programmer of software that has high demands. I would never dream of using a DNS, SMTP, IMAP/POP3, LDAP, *SQL, or any major service like that, which was programmed in one of your "safe" languages. Do you *like* having system loads around 40?
Use C when you need performance. Be careful, but don't even dream of using Java, C#, or even perl (I love perl, don't mistake me) when performance is on the line. And I think zlib qualifies as a lib that needs to be fast.
The fewer clients they have, the less money they make to make up for badwidth costs.
ahem, that doesn't follow. Sure they may be down x amount of revenue, but they may also be down 2x in cost. Maybe not that extreme, but the whole point is that more computers on a link use more bandwidth, and that costs money. IAAISP (I Am An ISP)
I just read that the main threat was static electricity - they were afraid that the motion of the shuttle through the cloud could spark a bolt of lightning, which could disable the computers a rather critical time. (T-1m to T+3m being *ahem* slightly critical)
Also, the tile on the underside are extremely sensitive to water; they are brittle, and if water got in them, it would freeze in space and crack the tiles, just like roads in the north...
Yup, they get nervous when there's a large cloud in the way...
Network Address Translation only provides one-way connectivity.
One form of NAT behaves this way, but other forms do not. You are thinking of what Linux calls IP MASQ. However, NAT also includes the ability to statically map real IP addresses to private IP addresses inside the firewall. It would be possible, with a good NAT router, to instantly change the IP address in the entire network. DNS propagation, OTOH, would be a nightmare. I'm guessing that's where IPv6 is better.
but does amavis work? I'm an ISP that would like to do this kind of filtering, but I'm hesitant to implement a new setup without knowing for sure how dependable it is. I love using linux as a server, but switching a critical system like that is not a light matter.
I know it is convenient to have a real boxed set, and I have certainly spent more money on Linux than on windows. I do spend money when the software is worthy. Piracy stinks.
correct... go check the urban legands website
(I'm too lazy to go find it) Some guys from nasa tested a penny frop in a vacumn chamber.
It's fast, a penny dropped from the ESB would likely only sting. They predict that you could probably catch it in your hand.
But as far as I have seen, version 6.x is still more popular on mission critical servers. 7.0 was too buggy (as all.0 releases are), and in my situation, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" is the motto. Unless there is a very specific need for 7.x, why upgrade?
There are certain procedure needed by law to obtain those records. Due to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the ISP cannot voluntarily give those records to police (yet to be tried by case law). They probably ought to get a court order before getting that info.
But then your could only have one train on the track at a time.... A very inefficient use of rail. Full duplex ethernet is better.:) Plus, it's more fun having lots of trains on the layout at the same time.
Listen to the last sentence - "It would be shame if this issue escalated to something that damages everyone." That sounds like a mugger holding a knife to your throat saying, "Do what I say and no gets hurt."
Too late... much too late.

You would think if you were going to license sitting you would at least provide a cofortable seat...
Ok, I'll take the bait, just in case some PHB didn't understand the subtle humor there. Translated that means: Of course, you'd think that if people were going to license software products, they'd expect better software.
Larger ISP's have approached us several times, but we never have really even given them the time of day. We have a successful niche established, a strong client base, and the best tech support in town. We are even making a profit. *gasp*!
We were approached by OneMain, over a year ago. My upstream provider, and theirs, both sold to OneMain. A year later, the guys that tried to convince me to sell are now no longer with the company; those two offices were both shut down. Turns out I would have been downsized 6 months ago, if we had sold.
Too many ISP's and.com's played the IPO game, or overspent themselves early in the game. As I look at the industry, I see a lot of poor business plans, that overestimated revenues and underestimated costs. And a lot of owners that sucked too much money out of the company as salary. Unfortunately, a lot of M&P ISP's probably got sold because they couldn't handle the financial strain. Not that running a M&P ISP is impossible, but it does take a lot of restraint.
I'm quite happy to be the owner of a small ISP. The big guys can't trample too badly, cause we are established, profitable, and user-friendly.
And we have the flexibility that large behemoths only dream of.:)
I remember sitting at a friend's computer over 4 years ago, and starting solitaire by saying "run solitaire". There was some sort of voice recognition in the default software that came with this Acer or PB computer. I guess it was never much of a hit.
This doesn't always work either... we had someone who was confusing our front line techs with terms like traceroute... (Ok, we need to train our front line a little more)
The problem actually ended up being that they were dialed in on a email only account - everything but email to our server was firewalled out. Certainly not an issue to bother the sysadmins about.

Agreed - it even got modded up! That was a well done troll.
At least, they can't mispronounce this one as easily (Windows me, kill me!)

Um, what about the return trip? Do we not want gravity for that too? Or have we not planned for the return trip?

If you can find the ISP, they can give you the info, which you can then give to the police. It's a weird law.
Have your local police look at http://www.cybercrime.gov/searchmanual.htm before proceding.
If you are only beginning to doubt, then I question your mental state... ;)
