    So, where's this irrefutable evidence about mobile phones == brain cancer then?

  6. Re:whois-listening? on Verisign Granted DNS Lookup Patent · · Score: 1

    Shit - I hoped no-one noticed ;) The moment I hit submit, I thought - "Hmm - did I really see it on Slashdot?" I must have read it on The Reg, or some other site, and I could have sworn I saw it here. Hmmm.
    "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those pesky kids!"
    It could turn out to be the next FP thing - claiming dupes when they aren't. Possibly with a link to Goatse. What do you think?

  9. Re:Lets see... on Compute Google's PageRank 5 Times Faster · · Score: 1

    I've often wondered how their searches can be so quick. Put a random string in your page somewhere, and when it gets into Google, search for it. There's no way they could have pre-executed the query, and as it only exists on one page, they've had to search their entire databases when you click search.
    I really have no idea how they can do this. I suspect it's some form of magic.

  10. Just curious.... on SCO Drops Linux, Says Current Vendors May Be Liable · · Score: 1

    Has anyone here actually used SCOs Linux distro? What is it based on? Is it similar to Redhat, Debian, Slackware, what? Does it have any nifty features, or annoyances?

  15. Spoofed UDP P2P idea on Ask Fyodor Your Network Security Questions · · Score: 1
    Fyodor - do you have any thoughts about our truly anonymous UDPP2P project? We are using spoofed UDP packets in a broadcast type of mechanism as this is the only truely anonymous way of P2P that we can see.

    Apart from the obvious, such as ISPs filtering UDP packets that don't match their network ranges, and broadcast mechanisms having problems scaling, do you have any other insights to offer us?

    My god, isn't that a disgusting syntax?

    That's not to say anything of su - -c "some-command" or sudo to run single commands as root.

  17. IPv6 on Ask Fyodor Your Network Security Questions · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Do you think that with the very large address space of IPv6 that random scanning for a certain port will die off? (I notice nmap doesn't support random IPv6 address scanning - maybe you've already come to the same conclusion?) Simply put, the chances of finding a machine if it's not advertised anywhere will be very much reduced. Will this make people lazy and complacent, trusting on the large numbers involved to protect them?

    Aaaah. It said Windows. Well, that is a good question in that case. Maybe SysInternals can help. After you've got those tools install, and the Resource Kit, you have an OS that is almost usable.

  24. Re:unauthorized use on Legally Defining "Unauthorized" Computer Access · · Score: 1

    I propose a slashdot.txt standard. Actually, that might not be a bad idea. Although maybe it would have to be called mirror.txt - you could then specify which CIDR blocks could mirror which files on your server.

  25. How do they justify/explain this? on Surviving Tornadoes · · Score: 1

    Oklahoma City is changing the way it issues permits for alarms. This includes home and business alarms for both fire and security.

    Alarm permits will now be renewed annually. The first permit is $20. After that, each annual renewal will be $5.

    If you received an alarm permit before September 30, 2002, you will need to get a new permit at the first-time cost of $20. If you received a permit after September 30, 2002, you'll be covered by the $5 annual renewal.

    I'm not trolling, but this seems weird to me. Is it standard practice?
