From the linked RFD:
"At that time, I was attempting to de-peer Matt Middleton's rouge spam feed, in October, 1998."
Cool. A "rouge" spam feed. The french commies are behind the spam! I knew it!
OK. We are off topic now and you are admittedly not an expert but would your replacement shell stop the r* commands from being run from the remote party? ie commands that are not invoked within a shell.
Where I work the controls are almost non-existant on where people go.
Staff can get audited on what they do for any number of reasons.
The number of people who get sacked for doing absoultely stupid shit is ridiculous.
Our companies Internet policy says you can use the Internet for non-work related purposes as long as it doesn't become a problem to you performing your job. (And some clauses around innappropriate material) A fairly moderate policy.
An ISP should not take action based on an unsubstantiated e-mail from some unkown entity who claims to have some authority.
These buffoons in their airconditioned offices with their window views are going to have to put in a full days work to make a difference here.
Any ISP worth their salt will not give these people any personal details. They will also know that they cannot take action against the user without some proof or some order from a local authority.
If Media Force wants to get into Australia they are going to have to stop sending worthless e-mail s and speak to local Australian law enforcement. Learn local laws and try and take this to offenders properly.
In reality they won't do that. They are going to just sit back and send their worthless e-mails and collect their fat cheques from Warner etc. No big days work coming out of Media Force, I'll wager.
The good news is that at some point the Record mafia will realise how inneffective these stupid upstart companies are and will drop them.
They will go broke and hopefully go back to loan sharking or selling snake oil.
Guys. This was a response to some clown saying how trivial NZ news is. It's a relevant post now divorced from the parent by the fact it was modded as a troll.

Apparently?
Apparently you made that up?
Come on. Back it up with a link please.
Thanks! My fantasy world is consistent again.
You are in dangerous territory using the word "breasts" in any context on /.
Dangerous online nerd stampede. Story at 6.
I have a patent on gloating. The license fee isn't too expensive though.

And we have the best gun laws. :-)
Seriously, the censorship laws do nothing.
The data caps are the biggest issue with Internet access in Aus at the moment.
ISP's are almost defined based on the amount of data available.
If you can't claim proprietary rights to a "verb" then I might have to obelix them.
Well if we are theorising it is fair to say that a private key sitting in RAM is able to be stolen regardless of disk writes.
If you want the private key to be safe then it needs to stay on the smart card in an irretrievable way. The decoding would have to happen on the card.
Unfortunately you have a new bottleneck in your computers IO now. Your smartcard CPU.
All theory. I don't ground any of this in reality yet...
You obviously haven't worked in a University. :-)
Try telling an academic he can't do what he wants on his PC.
"Virii write to boot sector" The word you are looking for is "viruses".

Yes. My unix skills are poor.
(Fake?) Phil,
How 'bout you sign your posts so we know it's really you?

And too many people still behave like children.
Goodbye!
Most Virus products couldn't have stopped Slammer. It never wrote to disk. It needed to do something different again.
I think some more thought about how we build and patch software needs to happen.
Virus scanners are a crutch.
Well...
;-)
This stops the **AA packhound companies from targetting him via his ISP and still gives him access to his porn fix *ahem*, files.
You want to collect stuff that is allready easy to get to to make it available to people in what I believe is generally a slower download medium.
Mind you it could future proof this stuff disappearing I guess.
No he means US companies. We are talking about Media Force here. They are your poison. Noone elses. You can keep 'em.
:-)

Pfff. What's the bet if 3D Realms do ever release this it will be a stinker.
The non-business like attitude has to show through in the game.
Lotsa hype. No actual code to be seen. Unfortunately it's likely to be on the "whatever happened to that?" pile before you know it.
If I'm wrong, great, congrats the world is now better.
In a classic piece of irony the initials most people refer to Duke Nukem Forever (DNF) also stand for Did Not Finish.
How very.
One of my neighbours helped to build CSIRAC. My guess is the computer looks better than he does.
Great old guy. His wife does a great pumpkin scone.

Looks bad out of context.
You need to put it in perspective of the post I replied to. It got modded down as flamebait. Looks like mine is a top level now. It isn't.
Like the world gives a crap about 1/2 of the US centric stories posted here.
