Flying on JetBlue recently in the US, we were, indeed, served white Oreos. They had to be the foulest thing I'd tried. I bit into one and threw the rest away
Take a look at Aqua Data Studio (www.aquafold.com). It is written in java, runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and has connectivity to many database systems. Not great as an admin tool yet but good for development.
Anyone know if it is easy enough to block this exploit with squid? (Without blocking articles that mention shell:)
We just finished rolling out 0.9.1 and would really like to avoid another rollout so quickly.
You have to use Paste Special. It is one of the more annoying features I have to deal with, too.
I second the opinion that the UI is pretty bad (I'm using 6.5) but, like Linux, is very powerful - you need smart people to set it up for the less computer saavy.
As someone new to Samba, who has been trudging through the online version and all of its mistakes, I went to the book store today to check out the printed version.
The same mistakes are still there. It is really just a collection of HOW-TOs which did not seem to be very well reviewed.
1. You are not a native english speaker. I recommend you don't insult people when you don't understand what they are saying. It makes you look like an idiot.
2. You are a native english speaker. You are an idiot.
My comparison to 45 RPM records (those were small, round platters of black material used to contain music, if you aren't familiar with them) was that technology from 30 years ago isn't even relevant anymore. The records I used to listen to, I no longer have. The player I used to utilize to play those records I no longer have. The tastes I had in music 30 years ago, I no longer have.
The concern that these AAC files will be a waste because you won't have an AAC player in 30 years, or 10 years is silly since, even with a player, the likelihood that you will still want to use them is slim. You can always store them on CD for long term storage (just buy CDs rated for long term storage). The music you know you will want for a long time - music that stands the test of time can still be purchased on *real* media (Basie, Beatles, Bach)
This is not unlike current media distribution on CD - the CD may have higher quality sound, but the majority of music on these CDs is horrible.
So Apple and others are giving you the chance to purchase just the songs you want, albeit at a lesser quality level (but still high enough for *most* listeners).
So yes, I don't see anything wrong with DRM (Apple's or otherwise). Right now the music industry has the right to control how their product is distributed. If their DRM efforts results in them losing money due to fan backlash, then they will either change or die. That's the way the market works. So far, based on the numbers of people buying this stuff, you anti-DRM fanboys are pretty much in the minority.
Personally, I don't buy music online and am unlikely to. I am old fashioned enough that, if I want something, I don't want to have my only copy in an ephemeral state (bits on a fragile hard drive). I'd rather buy the CD and rip a copy for conveniently listening on my MP3 player.
You also seem to forget that most kids buying this stuff have been brought up on instant gratification. They know nothing about saving for the future or recognizing these transient desires. They just gotta have it now. Apple, et al are feeding a market - it is what they are in business to do. Good for them.
Uhh - same thing I run WinAMP on now. I don't. Do you really think WinAMP is going to be around in 27 years? C'mon think about it. AAC, OGG and WMA will all be antiquated and replaced by better things in 10 years, never mind 27. Technology moves too quickly. Hard media lasts a bit longer (Records, CDs, etc) because of the investment users make in hardware. Software (especially when the media players are cheap or free) can be swapped out quite rapidly and there are often upgrade paths to take your existing media with you.
Oh, and unless WinAmp runs in the ether, it also runs on a physical device. Nice use of the word retard - 5 points to you.
"What do you do in in the year 2030 when nobody makes players for your multi-gigabyte collection of AAC files?"
Hmm - 27 years in the future. All the 45s I had from 27 years ago, I could play them if I still had them, and if I still had a record player, oh and if I still listened to the same music.
And what meaning would that be? Attacking innocents to effect change from someone else (government, Microsoft, etc) - that kinda works for me. It isn't just about hurting people - it is a combination of the target AND the intent.
Attacking your enemy is one thing, attacking your enemy's family is worse, attacking strangers who live near your enemy worse still. It is a sliding scale to be sure, but the general consensus that, users of Windows have these attacks coming to them is just twisted. If you are trying to make an example out of Microsoft, attack Microsoft for cripes sake (and I am NOT advocating attacking anybody - use the Freedom of Speech to make your opinion known)
To another poster - I wasn't suggesting that it is Linux zealots that write these attacks - they are likely Windows users more often than not, or at least not the types of people who would rather devote their energies towards building something good vs tearing down something they don't like.
I'm surprised no one has take the terrorist tack on/. against the virus writers out there.
Seems to me that, attacking millions of end-user systems to make a statement about Microsoft is just what terrorism is all about. Attacking innocents to get the "powers-that-be" to take notice and make changes.
The ones that get hurt are the innocents and the powers-that-be just crank up the PR. Sure, eventually you may see changes made, but a lot of people will have been hurt first.
I think places like the Internet Storm Center http://isc.sans.org/ keep track of the impact more.
For a list to be of use, it kind of needs to remain focused. As I mentioned in another response, NASA had done a study that found that addressing only the Top 20 resulted in a decrease of (I think) 90% of successful attacks.
This is an important bit of info for the overworked admin. Whack those 20 first and get the rest after (assuming enough time after:-)

I would think it actually came from the Greek deka, which means 10. Those damn latin's stole everything from the Greeks - or so my wife says.

Ah yes,
Two wrongs *do* make a right. Guess I forgot that part from ethics class.
Hear, hear!
Thank you for being a voice of reason amongst the snotty - although I think the term elitist has more negative connotations than it deserves.

no, no.
I think the point intended was that Mandrake is one of the few remaining 100% OSS major Linux distributions that ships in a primarily white box.
darn speculators.

I chose not to purchase it just yet.
YMMV
Why is that hilarious? Isn't that what you proponents of file-sharing and digital music have been clamoring for? to be trusted not to steal?
OK, the issue is one of the following:
1. You are not a native english speaker. I recommend you don't insult people when you don't understand what they are saying. It makes you look like an idiot.

Looks less like a book review and more like the reviewer is just trying to dole out his/her own perls of humor.
Sorry, not impressed.
"most commonly exploited vulnerable services "
not probed, or scanned, but exploited, I'd have to say that the list is probably more helpful than you give it credit for.
The origin of the list was at NASA. Read more about it here:
