143/tcp is IMAP - not sure why they'd be blocking that, unless to force you to use their own mail servers. Which (unless we're talking about SMTP) doesn't make much sense.
Secure the perimeter?
The armadillo approach - crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.
A better method of security might be to have no firewall at all. Then you'd have to secure your machines to "hostile internet level".
You just can't beat the economics of many cheap x86 boxes running some free OS. I think all the major players will eventually learn this, if they haven't already. And Google is the argument that you can just beat people down with. One of the most highly resilient, scalable, intensive solutions around today.
What is the first thing the allies do? (Serbia, Gulf wars, etc). Take control of the skies. I suppose that space is the next extension of that. Not much point having control of conventional airspace if a satellite with a laser can shoot down any aeroplane it sees flying beneath it.

The problem is that it would interoperate too freely with other software and operating systems. Can't have that.
No, no:) They could change it slightly, in undocumented ways, like they did with Kerberos and Ldap for Active Directory.

I think there will be a lot of confused Windows users soon, wondering where the setup.exe is once they've unpacked it.
I followed the link on the BBC article about this, supposedly to the Chinese Space Agency. But either someone has hijacked it, or something weird is happening. The BBC isn't like Slashdot - it would check the links before posting them, so I assume the site had the content they were expecting when they posted it.
What's with the/home/grisha thing?:)
You do know that you can have a nice little Unixy/~grisha/ with just a public_html dir in your home area? (I know you do know this, but I am curious why you do it this way)
Yep, I'm sure glad that there's a similar thing in Linux that backs up all my conf files regularly. They're always getting corrupted by simple everyday use.
Oh, wait.
Que? A "virus" for Linux won't try and actually log in as root. It'll perform some buffer overflow, which will leave it running on your system as the user that you start SSH as. Which, if I guess right, will be root.
As an aside, ye coders among us, if you don't run SSH on 1024, would it be possible to start the daemon as a non-root user, assuming that that user could read the shadow file?
These guys, http://www.unix-rent-gmbh.de/ must be thinking - WTF? Almost midnight on a Sunday evening, and our server almost melts with visitors from all over the world.

Soon, the 16 available processes were all busy running my too-heavy Perl scripts, and the new clients were sending SYN packets and waiting. And they kept on doing it.
In fact, so many were doing this that the kernel wondered if there were SYN flood attacks going on. Go figure...
Shortly after midnight, the/var partition, where the HTTP logfiles go, filled up. Apparently something else required access to that partition too - at least registrations weren't successful either.
Luckily, I was online at the time, deleted a couple of files, and watched the counter come back to normal.
After that, it was plain sailing.
16 available processes?:) Need to upgrade that box, and 256kbit line, methinks!

QBasic 4.5? Does that count? You could write nice trojans for stealing passwords.
Simplicity is the hallmark of genius.
You certainly are cynical, Mr Partridge :)
It was something like 6-12 inches longer in flight than on the ground due to heat expansion. And the wings got hot enough to fry eggs on.
Anyone got any screenshots of the earliest KDE?

Alan, I've been tracking myself using this technique for a while now. Email me if you want to know how.
