Hm, so let me get this straight.. The costs of running a factory isn't built mostly by paying to people.. So do they insert megabucks into the machines or what?
Yes it can. Infact Tagged Command Queueing is what you want if you want a block device which actually tells you what it has written and what it hasn't - something you don't get with write caching commonly used with IDE-drives.
I'd find it much more justified to break the behavior of the program a little bit when used with an invalid serial code. Introduce a little bit of noise there, a glitch here..
Or replace segments of video with the goatse guy!
And do put it after an hour or so of the video has passed, so the foe is nicely taken by surprise when he's lying on the cough watching the movie.
Although I guess that would be some sort of piracy too;-(. And then there's this "geneve convention"-stuff..
"Don't copy that floppy"-clip could be a suitable replacement too.
At 100 mph a sea might not be that much better thing to impact anyway. Plus this way they know where it is; I would imagine the capsule to be heavier than water, thus it would sink into the ocean, turning the capsule capture mission into deep sea exploration one..
So? I've had a crash (with reiserfs 3.x), system boots up and reiserfs-root fails to mount, after reiserfsck the filesystem is empty. I shall declare this single datapoint proves reiserfs broken.
Infact that's not the only reiserfs-problem I've had - and not the only hardware I've had those on, of course the favorite excuse is broken hardware even though other filesystems have had no trouble - but I suppose it has become more robust later on. I also at some time had trouble with reiserfs and lvm, reiserfs filesystem appearing unrecognizable after boot even though the ReIsErFs-signature was found - this you may find from the mailing list archives too.
Later on most systems I've switched to ext3 and xfs. Atleast they have some history and they have a _working_ fsck instead of something that just rebuilds the tree, which may or may not bring back the fs.
Reiserfs is still suitable for me to use on data that needs to be accessed fast but isn't particularly important;). Especially as a file name hash collision may bring unexpected trouble..
Well, it's quite simple actually. Let's take an arbitrary md5sum for instance:
d3b07384d113edec49eaa6238ad5ff00
Now, we obviously can see that the beginning of the data is complete gibberish. However, may I point your attention to the trailing three nibbles: f00. This is a clear clue! Let's use that as a base for our educated guess:
If such a virus were to infect you, it clearly points out that you had NOT infact been able to secure your system.
Given two choises, being infected by a 'black hat worm' and being infected by 'white hat worm', which one would you choose?
Of course there is the third option of getting a clue and not leaving the whole there in the first place, but let's say you have to force one of the two options to the rest of the people for which the third option apparently isn't possible, which one would you choose?
Besides, even if it happens to have a huge hole or break systems, is it any worse than a worm that does exactly that on purpose.
Well, atleast Nokia Communicator (9210, 9210i in the European market) handled hotswapping mmc's just fine - infact, it neatly removed the applications that were on the mmc when it was removed, and readded them when it was inserted back.
But, I don't make extensive use of this feature, so it might just be that it wouldn't work reliably in the hands of an active mmc swapper..
It would hardly make any sense to be cheat with storage space, as one second of the original movie could take 2 gigabytes of storage. If you just waste one 1/1000 of that to sound, you've already got 32 bit 300kHz sound..
The mail server can stop receiving the message at the point it sees the subject of the message. More likely you are portscanned worth a few such spam-send-attempts a day. Noise really.
Obviously the next step would be to delete the messages on the server (can be done by the client using IMAP), and then again the next step would be to make email-servers stop receiving messages with the forementioned subject feature to receivers who have enabled the feature. Recognizing spam at low cost is the first step.
Well, I did actually read the article but apparently I failed to read that one paragraph. I would've expected the article to concentrate more on that..
How about using the bayesian algorithms we have today and apply them to the referred web pages? I'm sure they would have plenty of good material for the filters to detect.. Plus this would propably be more effective with spam that effectively is only an url.
Secondly, I don't call this any kind of DDoS, even though it might seem such to spammers (is slashdotting a DDoS?). If anyone sends me a mail with an url, chances are they _want_ me to check it out. If my system fetches the pages and stores them to a cache, I'm doing exactly what the sender wants. (Mailing lists may be a problem though.)
Thirdly, does it really hurt you to let spammers know that your address is valid? Chances are the address will receive spam nevertheless..
A little hint the rest of us have known for a while.. Just hit the middle mouse on top of the (web-page-area of) Netscape, Mozilla or Galeon, I imagine there are other browsers that do that too. Infact that's in my opinion easier and faster than the alternative of hilighting the url, removing it and the pasting a new one with some key combination.
So instead of one piece of software (XFree86) writing support for detaching and reattaching software, every toolkit should do it? (QT, Motif, Forms, Java, software based on libX11 - libX11 would be the key, I imagine most software uses that) Doesn't sound right to me! Reminds me of software rendering their aa-fonts themselves.. They do say that RANDR-extension should finally give the potential for implementing this capability.
That is one terrific point.. Unless you just go ahead and RTFA, and figure out that it is not that impossible at all.

Better be prepared to buy some heavy storage equipment then too, you need 2.5 terabytes to store days worth of signal.. (Assuming the maximum sample-rate of the card, 20Msamples/second, 12 bits per sample.)
Well how about the transition phase? You think the networks which will be renumbered would start having two subnets? With IPv6 one can still continue using IPv4-address-space. (Of course, that is not impossible. But is it that much easier than just transitioning to IPv6?)
Also IPv6 is not all about more ip-addresses, it also brings benefits to multicast routing (per spec all routers know how to route multicast), which in my opinion is the future;).
What happens, when a software bug corrups the filesystem or some script goes berserk and rm'rfs recursively beginning from the root? Or perhaps you accidently do that rm -rf foo / &|..
Using hw-assisted hotswap with raid1, you could just insert a 120G disk in, have the raid sync the backup for you, then just pull it out and put it to your desk drawer:).
I personally am not in so safe waters either. I backup some stuff to a 30GB logical volume which I umount between backups, but the most important stuff is backed up offsite over the Internet.

Yeah, absolutely correct.
I mean, it's not a good idea to hire someone who actually got caught, obviously the guys who avoided the radar are much better with security..

Raid is not a replacement for backups.
