"limiting the document formats to the OpenOffice format is unnecessary, unfair and gives preferential treatment for specific vendor products, and prohibits others."
prohibits others? i know this is obvious to everyone here, but the fact that the oasis format is open and fully documented invalidates this argument. there is absolutely no reason why any vendor cant implement the oasis format.
its interesting to note that these attacks rely heavily on the tendency of a surprising number of (new?) linux admins who create various temporary accounts (eg: username = test) with weak passwords (eg: test). of course, its not uncommon for these accounts get forgotten until the box is compromised...
this goes to show why even your temporary accounts (if you need them) should have strong passwords.
if your ssh server needs to be publicly available, you can always have it listen on a different port. that seems to thwart 100% of these automated attacks.
i dont know about anyone else here, but i'd like my cell phone to do less; not more. i was recently amazed at how hard it was to find a cell phone that only made phonecalls. that's what phones were designed for, and that's all i need to do with them. what i dont need is a bunch of useless crap cluttering up the menus.
when combining multiple technologies into one device, i think its important that the technologies complement eachother in some way. the inclusion of a cheap digital camera into some phones was an interesting idea with some useful applications, but i have yet to figure out what games and music have to do with making phone calls. it annoys me that i had to pay for these features even though i'll never use them.
I played so much that I started sizing up curbs for grinding while driving home from work.
this isnt as abnormal as you might think. every person i know who's ever done any serious skating in real life does this constantly (even after they've stopped skating). i think its interesting that this is happening to you just by playing a video game though.
one obvious solution is mini-itx. im currently using one of these guys for my www/mail server, and i love it. its just a little bigger than a cdrom drive, it only uses a 60w power supply, its totally silent, and very stable. i've been running this thing 24/7 with no problems for the last 6 months or so. and yes, both linux and freebsd run fine on these.
Or would I rather be an M.B.A. and making $150,000 and hiring Ph.D.'s?
it seems to me that if you're only concerned with how much money you're going to be making when you finish school, maybe you shouldn't be going into a technical field anyway. we need more people who love their jobs and do good work, and less people who are only interested in the size of their potential salaries. the dot-com bubble should have taught us that.

im slightly off topic here, but i cant help but wonder if the web browser included with the most widely used desktop os in the world DIDNT use msn.com as the default home page, would anyone have any reason to go there?
Well now that they've charged you all this money they leave [their] software open to viruses and exploits beyond belief, which will cost your company even more money.
you're preaching to the choir here. tell it to the stupid old men in upper management who decide how your company spends/wastes its money.

games are cheap these days! 10-15 years ago, i remember snes and sega genesis games costing up to $70!
you can do this with the simple event correlator.

it should be noted that these attacks have been going on since at least 2003.

don't get caught up in the... crossfire!

if they start changing their dns records, they wont have an online presence to sell their crap. in this case, wont they lose anyway?
i think if it were possible, walmart would already be doing it.
some of mine dont generally arrive 15 minutes late every morning. whats that all about?
i dont think there's a such thing as a 9-5 IT job.
