Excuse my twisted little mind, but has the GPL ever been tested? Do AOL have the money to go up against it? If they win, they then have a very good OS with which they can change to do whatever they want very easily.. I'm not saying AOL would do this, but buying the biggest Linux distro, then killing the GPL would get them a good way to have something to go against Windows with.
Make that percentage 100. Do we need the money? Not really. The only problem I see is that eventually (If they were good), they would run out of spammers to sue, and so would be out of a job. And it would all start again.
While this sounds cool. Why? If you need to go to a phonebooth to send an email what are you going to use as a return address. Presumably if you had access to the internet you would also have acces to email of some kind, and if you didn't have access to the net you wouldn't have a return address and they couldn't reply.
To address your first point. It seems to me that there is only 1 user defined in/etc/passwd and that user is root. So the comment was correct. Assuming the only 2 ways to get into this box are by hacking one of the services or logging in as root. In either case the hacker will have root access and so either has the password (if they logged in), or have no need for it (if for example they added a/bin/bash line to inetd.conf)
Personally I run my own mail server and whenever I get spam I go though the logs, find the IP of the server it came from. The block it at the firewall. Takes a bit more time but it VERY effective!
Imagine the distance and speed gains we could have by applying this to ethernet. No more 100M limit on cable lengths...
Imagine 100Gb over basic copper:-)
Did you read the links? When he calls the number provided to opt-out he gets disconnected with no confirmation, and when he tries the website he gets a 502 error.
Of course you could simple install another network card in one of your machines, turn NAT on for that interface, and put the Wireless access point behind that. Even if they reach into your network, it will just look like one IP has heavy usage patterns,
Settle down.. Did you not see the IMHO.. He's allowed his opinion as much as you are allowed yours

Absolutly!
In my opinion that it the biggest thing consoles are lacking and the biggest reason gamers are still buying that latest/greatest PC. When you can go down to the shop and buy a game, drop it in your console and immediatly start playing with everyone in the world by simple plugging in your net connection, consoles may finally start to beat PC's for playing games!
For christs sake. Did the poor guy ask who to move to ANYWHERE?
NOPE.
Could you all quit telling him who to move to and start trying to help the guy out by suggesting how to get this resolved??
I'm sure he can pick a new registrar by himself. Especially since there are already 50 posts saying "Use this cool registrar coz they rock"
OK so it'll take a lot of time. A year? 2? 10?
Who's saying they didn't start planning this just long enough ago that next week will be the big one??
Restricting information won't stop it. Just slow it down and give them time to think big!
Was it just me did the description give the impression that we were actually going to be told WHAT security measures were being proposed?
Instead they say physical security is the least important and we'll have a meeting because of the terrorists. Oh and by the way... There are probably holes in BIND.
Kinda like saying water is wet!
Speaking as a New Zealander. The Sun and Heat here are probably unlike anything most people have felt. Burn time in the summer comes down as low as 10 minutes. You can't even get in your car and go for a drive without getting burnt.
In mid summer you literally have to put on a top with long sleeves or your arms will physically hurt if you are out in the sun
Actually. Both 2000 and XP will not move to a new motherboard UNLESS the IDE Controller is the same and the North Bridge is the same make. You either get Inaccessable boot device or an obscure memory dump.. On the other hand if you compile your kernel with support for a lot of IDE controllers and run i386 code without optimization you should be able to move the drive to pretty much and machine you want. Assuming it's the same architecture

Seems to work quite well. I've used it for ICQ, IRC and various other things. Nothing overly intensive mind you.

You run a XP firewall on a P4 1.5. God they told me it was hungry, but I never would have believed it needed that :-).
Exactly, there should be a nice secure firewall between any database and the internet!

Yup... check a nice large reator up there as well to power it. Or maybe hoping for those super doopy advanced solar panels ;-)
My god.. you know his last name... shame on you ;-)

Serverworks chipsets have been doing this for quite some time now

Get them to start the ball rolling on IPV6!

But, the car can have a rolling start.. How about rolling at 100mph?
