"It would appear that all of Syria’s BlueCoat hardware calls home to update its ability to filter and monitor new objects that it has not encountered. Equally importantly, the Syrian logs are filled with queries related to BlueCoat systems, such as ‘bluecoat data collector,’ something that a general home user would have little interest in."
There is currently a BlueCoat appliance located in Syria at 82.137.200.42; if the company needs any more of the dozen or so identified addresses of their hardware, I or Telecomix would be happy to oblige.
Its a shame this post wasn't directed as a question. My former school, the University of North Dakota, is going to ditch labs for Citrix. I've been against it but I can never really seem to describe why it just seems intrinsically wrong.
Urgent! Bogus Parking Tickets Found on Campus Refer Recipients to Virus-laden Web site
Do Not Go To This Web Site!!!
A message concerning bogus parking tickets being distributed on campus that was sent out late Monday contained the URL of a Web site that carries a computer virus. We are resending that message below with the problem URL removed:
Here is the message:
UPD received a call on Jan. 31, 2009 pertaining to someone issuing bogus parking tickets in the parking lot directly east of the ramp. The ticket is yellow in color and states the following: "PARKING VIOLATION This vehicle is in violation of standard parking regulations. To view pictures with information about your parking preferences, go to XXXXXXX.COM" (URL not used for computer safety reasons)
DO NOT GO TO THIS WEBSITE!! IT CONTAINS A VIRUS!
If you visit the Web site and click on the link to view pictures of horrible parking, you will download a virus onto your computer. Should anyone have any information pertaining to this, please contact UND Police at 777-3491.
It's also interesting to point out that the an average script kiddie wouldn't bother, or wouldn't even understand the PSYOPs effect of coming up with identical gestures of both parties and integrating them within the defaced sites.
Really? I sincerely disagree. Even looking at the Palestinian nationalist hackers (which is clearly not state-sponsored), one can see parallel manners of conveying political messages or trashing opponents.
Or just look at YTMND.
"The saddest part" of this story is that your comment was modded up. If you had any background in con law, or even bothered to read his opinions, you would know that regardless of biases, Scalia has some of the most artfully written opinions in recent judicial history.
If you can't think beyond your biases, you should know that Scalia has voted with the ACLU on numerous occasions and had the audacity to defend himself at the group's (last years?) national meeting.
No, but you are the type that believes that everyone who doesn't agree with you is an idiot, aren't you?
Well, this question is posed out of that "internet makes everything better, faster" hypothesis.
Which is totally false, especially in the fields of Political Science and the like. The fact is, I still cite articles that are fifteen years old and they still aren't 'obsolete.'
That assessment isn't quite fair. One could make a reasonable argument that the Ron Paul campaign was one that would have biased any polling of this sort, appealing to the type of demographic that would google candidate's names and spend time look up this information. The Paul crowd was different from that which would search McCain or Huckabee, so avoid this distortion, the author left off Paul.
That is to say, Ron Paul was a consuming cult that was able to organize a massive, yet still a niche, support group, look at how his supporters used digg. Same with the case of quantitative analysis of Youtube videos. Paul supporters were generally more technologically educated and consumed, so therefore would be the most likely to create videos and pages.
While you are mostly right as to the applicability of the FA protections in the private sector, you miss the point of the backlash against what I presume to be your article. It's basic neoliberal theory that such ideas can exist in a society without corrupting its framework. The concept of pluralism says that if such ideas are so repugnant there will be popular action which compensates and protects a society. Why should facebook abandon such principles and adopt a hazy regime of censorship? People that would join such a group are not going to be deterred or corrected by deleting the group. The only two reasons I can see for Facebook to do such a thing is keep the peace and not offend users. The former being understandable but its consequences are not the end of the world. In the case of the latter, well, who sucks so much that they can't deal with these things? 'Fuck Islam' is not, 'Kill Muslim men and rape their women'.
I hope there is a backlash because slashdot should ABSOLUTELY NEVER be promoting censorship. Where is the line? When is my friend's 'Intelligent Design is Hilarious' group going to be deleted? I can definitely see such a group, considering its contents to be 'defamatory' and 'otherwise objectionable'. Let's not even get into how anti-TOS an anti-Scientology group can be.
This is a PC charade on your behalf. Your choice of groups to be offended at is questionable and your politics in this situation is suspect.

When a subscriber agrees to the TOS, they automatically signed some autonomy over to TW, which is a normal thing for contracts. This isn't because TW wants to invade your privacy -- it is because they could be held criminally liable for actions taken on their network. Despite your furor over privacy, any court will grant the company a good amount of leniency over actions taken to protect themselves. Questions of effectiveness aside, I see nothing wrong with what TW did. I imagine that this must be a substantial problem for the service if they went to such lengthy steps to set up this operation.
Certianly, but at the moment those that try to compromise religious doctrine to science are not at all the problem that we need to deal with. For now I have no problem with people that think a deity created the foundation of life, or even those that think Humans are special. My problem is with biblical literalists.
This is a little OT, but its interesting how different our culture would probably react to this flu today.
My great-grandparents sent my grandmother to live with her cousins on a farm for 18 months so that she would be safe, in the end she avoided the flu, but one of the cousins died of it. What would happen today? Would people take such extreme steps?
One of the more horrid things I have seen out of SUV drivers is that they seem to consistently and intentionally force their status symbol in your face.
What the drivers do is if you are at a light with them and you are trying to take a right, they will pull forward and block your view.
Its so bad I once ended up a quarter into the road just so I could see the traffic, because the SUV driver kept moving forward to block me.
I really hate the internet because it (and FNC) gives retards like you the right to think you know everything.
"don't hear people running and screaming is no reason to get so content that you call the guy who kept the attacks from happening for 4 years evil."
Prove it, prove that Bush has single handedly done anything that his predecessors have not. You cannot. There was 8 years between the last attacks on American soil, so the way I see it, all you have on your side is probability.

I wrote about the matter this morning:

L2TP, PPTP, IPSEC.
From my understanding recaptcha's source material is the NYT archives.
I beg to differ, there is a difference between net neutrality and this, the larger issue of censorship.
Its a shame this post wasn't directed as a question. My former school, the University of North Dakota, is going to ditch labs for Citrix. I've been against it but I can never really seem to describe why it just seems intrinsically wrong.
I think the poster should perhaps look at other commercial Ruby/PHP applications like VBulletin.

Uh, what? The A.Q. Khan network existed years before Bush and Musharraf.
That's a fair argument.

I think Max Weber's attribution of the rise of Protestantism bridges the gap between the author's belief and yours.

I thought at least the headline was pretty funny and interesting. Curious about the article now.

I heard that at What the Hack they had bracelets that lit up when in the presence of an RFID detector, anyone know more about this?
Oddly enough I think it is a lot to do with the market share not using the internet over the summer.
College students are much more apt to use Firefox, but there are also less likely to be on the net during the summer.
I would predict that goes back to normal in September.
