  4. Advice on Advice for the K12 Tech Guy? · · Score: 0

    First don't use words like boxen or else no one will take you serious. Second don't say things like "think outside the box" you will sound like a corp crony trying to cover up their ineptitude.
    Ok what I would do if I where in your shoes

    1) Firewalls good(public IPs bad) I inherited the same thing. The user should see no change. Unless they where using now blocked port which they should be working with you on why they would need to use these.

    2)I have a hard time believing you can not get the exchange server back up. While a BSD bind/ server was a snap. I think YOU want to have the BSD box (which is fine) but remember you are there to SERVE the USERS not yourself.

    3)Exchange is a huge USER satisfier when setup properly

    4)disaster recovery should be on the top of your budget.(your a payed admin you should know this stuff)

    5) this is your Job do what the users want. I can not figure out why admins think they are any better then the kid who servers burgers at McDonalds. welcome to the service economy do your JOB and smile

  8. Re:Future of treatment? on First Successful Cell Transplant Cures Diabetes · · Score: 1, Informative

    FYI I am a diabetic. I would rather take the risk of this transplanet then

    A)Lose my feet
    B) Go blind
    C)Just let this disease slowly kill(heart/cardiovascular disease)

    A endocrinologist told me that no matter how well you take care of yourself with this disease you will die of a complication(sparing a death by trauma). My whole life is taking care of this disease it a constant struggle. This is not a take your shot and you are fine disease it is slowly killing any one with it(Inslulin treatment is only slowing this). Oh and yes this procedure has been around for a few years but from what I've read the real cure would be stem cells/gene therapy at least for type one diabetics

    I can't beleive in a thread about extreme remote controls no one has brought up Steve (The Woz) Wozniak and the CL-9 C.O.R.E or the Tyrone beam booster. Oh well, it is 2:30am(UTC/GMT -5 hours) any real geek is coding. not staring at slashdot waiting for the jolt high to wear off.

  17. Linux Kernel: Remote DoS with IPTables(rejected) on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Yes, this is off topic, but since the Slashdot editors think Will's new movie (no disrespect to Isaac Asimov) is more news than a remote vulnerability in the linux kernel I figured I post it here to help everyone who relies on slashdot for there tech news. Here is my rejected dtory. No, this is not spite I don't care who they said posted it as long as the word gets out to help people who are vulnerable.

    Over at gentoo security they are reporting a bug found in the 2.6 kernel running IPTables firewall that will let an attacker DoS a vulnerable system by sending a single malformed TCP packet causing the kernel to go into a infinite loop and consuming all of the CPU resources. Adam Osuchowski has a good write up on this bug(as he found it and fixed) at www.netfilter.org

    It is already happening today, in the air, with a "human in the loop". See Predator.
