I remember reading the exact same article about the NIPC (mentioned in this article), and how it was supposed to do all the things that this cetner is supposed to do. We have highly paid people running around in very costly facilities who are definately not the most clued people in the industry, because regardless of the dot-com fallout, network security salaries haven't dropped too much (xxx,000). I wonder if maybe next year, we can build another center so that it can collect data from this new center, plus the NIPC and whatever other centers have been built to either collect data on other centers or from actual events. This is a crock of shit.
take stuff too seriously.
This is metal were talking about.
In my head, I give myself 5 extra points for
being so witty. If you could put it in your head, and then give me some of that head, then I would get 5 extra points in actuality.
ThankUDriveThru.
someone is addressing this subject. I've been cracking hacked up playstation jokes for a few months now. Regardless, the same principles apply to console security as do to any workstation, home server, always-on ip connected thing. I think the real concerns could come into play when the linux distro thing starts to have a more common place in the console market (if ever.)
Anyhow, I think there's probably some stack hackers that might want to start thinking about kernel level mods to address the forthcoming issues.
"512K ought to be enough for anyone."
At the end of the day, the consumer isn't going
to be able to change the relationship between mass manufacturing and over/under pricing unless he blows up a RAM factory, in which case we're all screwed. Not that I mean to tell everyone to just eat your peas, but A. pricing isn't going to change until rambus is ultra-commonplace, and B. patent mongers are patent mongers, they're all just trying to be the next gemstar.
Well, maybe that's the case in Pitt's, but people
in Denver took one look at the gimic riddled pit of waitresses with alice-like eye makeup, and decided they had better things to do. Enjoy your Cox.
If I lived in pitts, I would expect my tax dollars
to pay for crap like this that noone asked for.
Meanwhile, people who worry about cellphone radiation appear undaunted by the massive amount of RF floating through them as they sing tra la la on their way to work. As I recall, someone tried this in a different city not too long ago, and couldn't figure out exactly how to keep people off the network without breaking cost and technical barriers presented by radius type stuff in the sizes required by metro users. I give the typical "Alice Cooper Restraunt Syndrome" rating - 3 months till bankruptcy or until these people just give up. In closing... Tax Dollars to infrastructure providers prevents stupid behavior on the part of entreprenuers with no real good ideas.
There is a way to stop the dmca from being successful in it's efforts to thwart people from being productive. If there is a software product that is under dmca dispute and, and say, a million people download before an injunction is put in place, then the point of the suit is moot, as the product is already distributed. This of course, only applies to free software (gnutella clients for example). I would urge everyone to support an initiative to just download things that the dmca poses threat to prior to injunction (even if you never use them), so as folks trying to inforce it get back to developing new products which actually benefit consumers and generate revenue as opposed to bitching about fricking fonts.
I came from this environment just recently (lot's of places to put network access points using 802.11 due to neighborhood access points on current builds), and even if your sticking god awful size antennas on these things, consistancy of service is rough at best. 802.11b was meant for enclosed spaces, and while it's easy to find random networks, establishing adjacencies between fiber planned naps is nearly impossible.
a company which, much like every other company in this space, who is having trouble raising next round because of massive capital dumped into network infrastructure being turned into pennies is now acquiring other networks which previously managed to bankrupt themselves? hm.
1. Take a wireless Xcam and plug it in, in the same general vacinity as 802.11X network.
2. Plug in the camera part
3. Tune until wireless network no longer works.
Cost of camera: $35.00
Cost of electricity to operate said camera: $.02
Cost of your favorite wireless internal LAN being completely shut down until you unplug your 'thingy': priceless.
Um, Even guys like Peter Shipley (who thinks he's a vampire) know how to do this stuff, and that was reported about a year ago. Maybe we can post a story after Xmas about the world trade center?
Our policy doesn't exclude server usage. One
public ip is issued with each data subscription,
and additional ip's can be purchased (similar to
the DSL model). Our concern is as simple as
everyone else's - are you using an inordinate
amount of bandwidth, such that you really should
be hosting a bandwidth intensive site in a colo'd
environment? We don't need yahoo buying rows of homes in Sacramento in order to save cash on colo and transit costs.:-)
In order to address this, we've implemented
a policy to address the needs of "power users",
and they basically give customers more than enough
freedom to do anything they want. The policy really only kicks in when we start to notice extrodinary things happening on the network.
Regarding the digs...I understand your frustration with the construction process, but since noone has dropped fiber up and down every street in residential neighborhoods before, there are bound to be some hiccups. We've kicked the restoration process into high gear so that we minimize the impact to folks in the neighborhoods we're building. The good news is, if you see trucks, service may be available for you already, and if it's not, then it will be shortly. If you do end up getting our service, feedback is always appreciated.
If TDM based phone networks (LEC/LD carriers)
which are the underlaying technology that
largely drove the net before people started building their own ip backbones, operated
in any redundant fashion, with any capacity planning, then I wouldn't have had to
IM my employees in NYC on sep 11th to insure
their safety. So thank you level3, GC, Sprint Ip Services, MCI UUnet, etc..
As mobile devices move away from "simple phones"
to "miniature life management centers", the following things about the P2P concept concern me:
* Having my device directly communicate with
other people's personal property at seemingly
random times has huge security implications, as
SMS does not implement robust protection services
(see prior postings on spam). One would have to
be able to control the passing of traffic on one's
own device, or, additional SMS over PCS/GSM
security would have to be added.
* Identification of Spammers would become increasingly difficult.
On the other hand, the idea of custom designed
proms to do encryption on the fly while acting
as a relay , thereby creating the effective
equivalent to freedomnet over SMS sounds kind
of neat.

about two years ago, this "amazingly uncrackable
digital format of video disc" became popular.
Aboout a year and 9 mos ago, DVD ripping and
writing became pretty popular as well. Seeing as how
basic security models state that systems with
security built in will be inherently more secure
than those with security as an afterthought,
and given MSFT's track record on building security
enhanced products, I suppose i'll wait to laugh
about all this when a 9 yr old living in the Florida swamp lands cracks whatever "protection"
is implemented with the use of an abacus and some
toothpaste.
