i feel like a dolt asking this, so here goes: how does one moderate? does it require 50 karma? i have something like 10 but dont see any links/options/etc... to praise the comments i believe to be deserving...
Windows CD writers do that as well, you just can't tell/notice the difference/change. And the concept of an IDE cd writer is baffling and inefficient, cd writers should be SCSI by definition, which most linux based writing software recongnizes.
Basically, I was wondering what the terms of the employement (contractually or other) between the seller and eBay are, in order for eBay to write-off the health care as an expense.
Or am I completely missing the point. Could I just simply start calling the users of www.dmarien.com my employee's?
I wonder how they are managing to legitimize expensing the health care coverage of their "employee's" when the "employee's" are basically users on their website...
Does eBay pay those who auction their goods? Obviously the auctioners make money for eBay, but what are the direct (from eBay) rewards to the seller?
When I first started using linux, I was absolutely blown away by telnet, and the capabilities for remote administration.
Then came SSH... Not only is the grade of encryption absolute phenomenal, but the extras above and beyond remote shell's are astounding!
X Forwarding, SCP, FTPs, etc... they all rock! I can't remember the last time I coped a file over any protocol other than SSH's scp command. WinSCP has replaced puTTY as my favorite WIN32 application, and combined with puTTY and secure shells it's now wonder how I've managed to keep my home router/server up for 180 days w/o even having a monitor plugged into it!
the verdict does not elaborate on which kinds of links are permissible and which are not...
Grey areas such as the above while seem like an outcry when issued, actually do help build valid legislature down the road, as all subsequent cases will have a precident, and each trial will further define the precident...
However, I do agree with the 'abolish the web' statement, because if taken literally, using the 6 degrees of seperation metaphor, everything inderectly links to everything else. Hence the WWW. And when I see deep linking cases out there and settlements against the linker, it confuses the hell out of me. Why post content (KPMG, etc..) on the WWW if you don't want ppl linking to you.... And if your nationality doesn't allow sites which inderectly or directly link to those of Radikal (sp?) articles, then why even allow unrestricted access in the first place. Use Austraila's URL blacklist at the ISP level for chris' 'sakes. Don't punish people for doing something you know they'll do!
Come from a collaborative effort on the behalf of the many devlopers to patch the vulnerabilities once they are discovered. Sure, that's just as easy to do in a closed source enviroment, but when you have multiple devlopers in multiple time zones all hacking away at the same time, communicating over the net, it becomes a lot more easy.
Another difference application security makes is the popularity of the software. Obviously my little not apache linux web server hasn't been compromised because it only represents less that 0.005% of all webservers. IIS, while representing less of a market share than Apache (Netcraft), is more of a target because of the fact that their are used by highly desireable corp's and govt's. Govt's are more likely to run IIS because they are somewhat important and their needs to be a source of responsibility for the software they *purchased*, same goes with the typical e-commerce vendor, who if misses a day of availability needs someone to either sue, or to have fix it.
All that said, their is still the human-admin factor. As we have seen very recently -- both IIS and Apache are prone to being vulnerable to attack, it's the response time of the developers and the competency of the admin to roll out and apply the patches/upgrades. There was a story on here earlier (month or so?) regarding the weakest security link in IT being the employee's, but the same holds true for lazy admins. It's not entirely the product you use, but the level of knowledge you have regarding the product, and your competency in making the service secure.
i've left ftk-gnutella running for over two months before constantly seraching every 5 mins for the same keywords, and downloaded all files which match my criteria. this was done at work over fiber, and yes, I didn't monitor it at all and filled up a 60 GB HDD.
No system will ever be secure, and there's not much you can do to stop someone who really wants to bring down your network. What I would recommend is some method of identifying usage based on library membership ID. Maybe If there are 30 desktops with network/ineternet access, the ethernet cables are run through a switch, or a large hub before entering the server room, etc... This way, any old librarian can take port number 23 and only connect it when a library member comes and scans/swipes/shows them their card. When they've shown their library card the librarian reaches over to the hub/switch/whatever, and plugs the ethernet labled #23 into port #23 and says, okay, you're the 3rd computer from the right in the second row. All the times could be logged. This is the only way I can think of allowing unrestricted internet access, which fi someone did send a death threat/whatever malicious, they could be traced from the router/switch/ip and whoever was allowed to use that computer would be responsible no if's and's or but's. This way no one would leave their seat or let a non-member use it for fear of them being blamed.
of course it's not too hard to forge a library card. so i guess their s.o.l.:)
oh shesh, i'm getting sick of the "YA YABIP P" too! okay, i realize the vulnerability i'm at for getting nailed with a YA YAYAIBPP P, but I dont care!!!!
What will come out first? The moon colonies or the Holographic storage devices. The lunar bases are predicted for a timeline of 2020, but I wouldn't be surprised if the first holographic enabled desktop computer I own (when they are finally ready) is shipped to my plot of land on lunar colony 12b sector 7g.
...when all these technologies hit the consumer. Just think what will be available on ftp/web/file servers, for the agerage user! Imagine logging onto gnutella servers and seeing that the average host has a terabyte of media shared? The possibilities are absolutely astounding... but admittedly they're being announced far too often. Why lure the consumer into their pipe dream and get their hopes up? I know that these technologies are in fact real, but come on! How long will it actually take before Dell starts shipping these storage devices instead of IDE/SCSI drives? 2 years? 3years? 4 or more?
I'm all for this foray into the what-if scenario's, but there has to be a limit! Please someone wake me up when they are available at Future Shop!
Why can't I find a cache'd version of this page anywhere? if the live cache'd version goes down, and there's no cache'd cache'd version, whatever will we do?:)
the recent appearance of quadruple, quintuple, sextuple and even septuple agents has really increased the confusion and paranoia level
I think this is excellent proof of the following statement...
If you haven't read Lem before, this may or may not be a good place to start. MFiaB is dense, and dizzying.
I'm not sure if I would pick up this book. I prefer my reading to be casual and entertaining if not intriguing. I wouldn't want to have to keep scrap paper/w me at all times just trying to keep track of which side the secret agents were really on!
"The advantage for Philips is that they have been in the market for years..."

ports on routers/switches are physicals 'jacks'. layer 2.
