Encrypted using a key which your xbox clearly has... You steal the key from the xbox, and then you can man in the middle it... Or, you man in the middle it anyway assuming the xbox doesn't perform any kind of host authentication.
Well, mac users often keep their machines for much longer than windows users... I still use a 400mhz G4 and it runs OSX Tiger perfectly well.
Tho, it does bring up an important question.... Why did Apple start with core duo processors? They could have made a clean break to 64bit x86 hardware, instead of going 32bit and having to migrate later?

How Image Spam Works
·
· Score: 1
We need to move back to having computers which are just hard enough to get online that the people stupid enough to fall for spam won't be able to manage it...
Microsoft intentionally created proprietary formats to make it harder to clone their products, and to force others to buy their products when they receive such files.
Those third parties usually have no idea anything other than microsoft exists, and i still usually give them a piece of my mind.
In cases where standard files are already prevelent, i have absoloutely no problem accepting files from people using microsoft products, or any other vendor's products. However, microsoft usually have much smaller market shares in areas where standard files are prevelent (due to the inability to lock people in to inferior products and/or raise the barrier of entry to competitors?). One such example i can think of, is image files. Almost all images sent around the internet are JPEG, PNG or GIF and load perfectly into whatever viewer or editor i choose.
You'l also notice that in all the markets microsoft are aggressively pursuing, they have created proprietary formats, often providing no benefit over existing formats, to try and create a lock over that market (see their new image format, wmv, wma).
Providing that vmware has reviewed and approved of the methodology... Meaning that, any methodology which favours anything other than vmware will not be approved. In this case, i think the lack of available benchmarks says more.
But that comparison is on vmware's site, and xen is much newer than vmware 3, infact vmware 4 if not 5 was available before xen. Why would vmware compare xen to an old version of vmware? That seems rather fishy... You'd think they would want to compare xen to their latest and greatest
On the contrary, i have often found myself forced to use microsoft products against my will. How many times have you been send a file in a proprietary format, or gone to a non standards compliant website that forced you to use a microsoft browser. This is why people hate them. Google on the other hand, don't force anything.
Why would you use VNC? What's wrong with the native remote display support built in to X? It's much faster, and the apps will integrate with each other and your locally running apps, without each server being isolated in its own workspace, but you can do that too using Xnest anyway.
What's wrong with hardware makers having to disclose their specs? Shouldn't consumers have the right to know how the products they`ve bought work? Even if each individual consumer doesnt know what to do with this information, having the information out there means that *some* people will work out cool new things to do with it. Look what people have made the C64 do compared to what it was originally intended to do.
It's usually not the CRT itself that's fuzzy, but signal degredation caused by the cable... VGA cables really aren't well designed, with all the pins so close together like that. A good CRT using a 13W3 or seperate shielded RGB cables will look a lot better, especially at high resolutions. LCD screens look like crap through VGA connections too...
My basis for this, are the old 21" and 24" SUN/SGI CRT screens... They have dual VGA/13W3 inputs, and the difference is quite noticeable, even on the same system if you plug a 13w3->vga adapter straight into the videocard and then connect to the monitor using a vga cable.
They would be perfectly within their right to enact such laws in their own countries. And those of us living in other countries, are well within our rights to not migrate to, or even visit, these muslim countries.
What gives anyone the right to try and dicate laws in another country? The people of that country should decide on the laws there, not arbitrary foreigners.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect immigrants to blend in with the local culture... It's not like immigrants are forced to come to the country. Immigrants choose to migrate to france, and they knew that the french speak french *BEFORE* they went there. It's actually far more arrogant of immigrants to think that they can go to a foreign country, which already has their own language religion and culture, and then to try and change the country to suit their own! If they want to live in a country which speaks their language then they should stay where they are. If they want to live in france, they need to blend in with the french culture. It's a trade off, you can't have your cake and eat it.
As a counter example, how do you think most muslim countries would like it if large numbers of frenchmen emigrated there, refused to learn arabic and demanded the government provide information in french aswell, at their own cost. As well as demanding to eat pork, to ignore muslim religious holidays and refuse to work on christian religious days etc.
Surely he has a case for unfair dismissal... If guns are legal to own, then they have absoloutely no right to fire him for buying, or intending to buy one.
Actually they listen on loads of ports, but filter them seperately with a firewall... If that firewall gets disabled for whatever reason, all those ports are still there listening. It also begs the question, why do they need to be listening if they clearly arent being used anyway?
Thats why you use something like mpm-peruser... That way, all the PHP code is executing as the individual web hosting user, and not as the global apache user. Thus: A bug in one user's site compromises their own account, but cannot mess with any of the other accounts. You cant stop users running buggy code, and its their own fault if they do. But you certainly should keep that code in a sandbox.
That nice big V12 might be powerfull enough to drive a bus... But what do you think it's fuel economy will be when driving a bus instead of the light weight aston martin body shell?
You can chroot it under linux too, if running inside a minimal chroot and under a limited userid, there's very little you could do even if you compromised it.
The workstation itself should prevent users running servers on it...
Ofcourse firewalls are also detrimental to network performance and security, in that there is yet another device adding latency, and providing a potential point of entry to an attacker. A bug in your firewall could be exploited to compromise the firewall itself, and as you said, you allow services through anyway so any bugs in your services could also be exploited. With a firewall you have one move potentially exploitable system out there.
Also, blocking all inbound traffic encourages companies to be really lax about internal security.
Well, since most support is done over the phone or via text based medium (websites etc)... Command line makes a lot more sense. Explaining the use of a graphical interface vocally or via text is very time consuming, and interactively explaining it even harder still because your relying on the user to accurately describe the graphical feedback. Commandline on the other hand, is much easier to explain over the phone. Assuming the person your supporting can read.
I had a 1X SCSI CD burner that cost 3000GBP (about $6000) and required the original gold discs which cost GBP10 each ($20). In those days, there was no burn-free style tech, unless you were using a high end unix box you couldnt do anything else while it was burning or you'd produce a coaster, and burning a whole disc took about 80 minutes. There was also no multi session, and you had to produce the ISO image first and then burn it... So you needed nearly 700mb of free hdspace in which to produce your image, in addition to your source files, and you had to burn the whole disc at once.
Yes, home broadband connections regularly have apalling upstream... Really, all connections should be the same up and down. As for 7 hours, your connection need not be useless during a heavy upload depending on your router etc... And, most home users are either at work or sleeping more than 7 hours a day, and most companies don't need their connections at night.

Or, you man in the middle it anyway assuming the xbox doesn't perform any kind of host authentication.
And what's to stop you using a transparent proxy to modify the network traffic between your xbox and the server?

Well, if high ceilings improve creativity... why not make creative people work outside?
But why? Sun's JVM is much closer to completion, and also open source.
Why not get one open source JVM working first, and work on others later?

Even supports eaccelerator too.
