How long before Unis demand that all computers on one of their networks join one of their administered domains, with Domain Admins in the local Admins group, or with one of their public SSH key in/root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 for *nix boxes?
Logins tested every day at random times. Should a login fail, box comes off network.
Now, both of these people were aware of the problem; both tried to do the right thing (patch their systems instead of "whining about doing the patches"); and both of them got screwed!
Horse. Bolted. Stable door.
They couldn't download their patches within the month before the worm started off?
Pro-active, rather than re-active.
I will, I shall keep that in my mind. It was very kind of you to bring it to my attention. What exactly does it have to do with computerised voting systems though?

I'm sure all admins running highly critical Windows machines (the fools) just hook their boxes up to the internet and hit windowsupdate.com (or whatever the URL is).
More likely they have a test network, run the patches on those machines for ages, make notes of all the md5sums of dlls, etc, and finally, when they are sure that they need to update, burn to a CD and run the patches manually.
I hope they're going to release it to us mere mortals. I mean, they're probably the only people that need millions of gigabyte+ files floating around thousands of machines, but it would be nice to see
Who modded this as a troll? It's pretty funny. If the Metamod is reading this, I reckon this should be unfair. In fact, I'm going to click the "Have you Meta Moderated recently?" link that is looking at me, in the hope that that mod comes up.
I joined the TPS ( Telephone Preference Service) in the UK - hey presto, 20 calls a week, down to zero. Now I don't get any calls.:( Somebody ring me:(
But I miss the fun of being as rude and as crude as you like to the female telemarketters. Never stopped them calling though.
Well, it's not a very common flight route, and I just find it amazing that in the 5 minutes that I was completing the transaction for a flight about 3 months in advance, all the flights that I would have been able to take (+/- 7 days, due to fairly flexible travelling times) suddenly filled up, but yet had first class spaces?
5 different flights within 2 weeks, all at 317. Suddenly, just after I plugged in my credit card details, and address, etc, they all shoot up to 900. I just don't believe it. And I told the woman that I spoke to on the phone about it that I didn't believe it.
I remember reading about Amazon using cookies to raise the prices for returning customers. How do we know they won't monitor searches, and use it to put up prices for things that you might be interested in? Case in point: I was buying a ticket for a flight, and when I started, there were lots of available seats on a variety of days at 317 each way. By the time I had gone through the process, put in my credit card details to buy it, and hit submit, a message appeared saying "The seating information has changed, please start from the beginning again." Magically, all the seats on all the same days had jumped to 900 each way. My point? I don't know. But Amazon has played dirty before. And I don't trust them.
Anyway, I didn't book my tickets with British Airways. Some other mug will have to pay the inflated prices.
-L listen-port:host:port Forward local port to remote address
-R listen-port:host:port Forward remote port to local address
These cause ssh to listen for connections on a port, and
forward them to the other side by connecting to host:port.
-D port Enable dynamic application-level port forwarding.
Why doesn't -R do what you want? I've tunnelled a port on an external webserver through to an Apache webserver behind the firewall using SSH before.
My ego is slightly assuaged, however, by knowing that there are people even more foolish than I am
I hope you're not assuaging your ego assuming my foolishness. I'm not someone that would get trapped by such a clause. But as gets pointed out regularly on this site, not everyone is technologically minded.
If you're gambling that your web page is interesting to any of those people but that it will never be interesting to more than 0.02% of them, you're not playing with very good odds.
There's a difference to 0.02% of the web users in the world visiting your site over 1 year, and those 0.02% hitting your site in 24 hours.
Stop blindly sticking up for Slashdot and spouting the bable that you've read here before.
When most peoples computers lockup, or need rebooting, they just shrug it off. Me, if my computer ever did something unusual, I'd be suspicious, and want to know what the hell happened.
Show people ifconfig eth0 192.168.31.12, and they'll usually comment on how fast it is.
How many Windows users don't know what all the processes in their Task Manager list are? Me - if I saw an unknown process when I ran ps auxw, I'd be investigating in a shot. Strace, netstat, tcpdump, the works.
Are you not understanding me?
It's easy to work something out once you know about it.
But if you never knew it was coming? Imagine you ran a hobby site on a 2Gb per month, $10 per extra 50Mb deal. You might only find out 6 hours later, by which time you'd been hit with a bill of $500 or something. Nice, eh?
Not to mention it's absolutely useless if no-one at all can get to the story.
So by that argument, you can't grumble about spam, or huge DDoSes hitting your networks?
I'm talking about people that pay per Mb for the bandwidth used.

Yep, it's Wednesday tomorrow after all.

Wow - very well retorted.
Yeah, it's so easy - I don't know why more of you don't?

Lose. pron. looz. To have something and then to not have it accidentally.
