Same reason as CNN and such sites arn't when linked to. Multiple, dedicated servers and more bandwidth then they know what to do with. (So they made slashdot)
isn't there a way to just block refers from high-trafic sites? Who cares if someone gets a 403 when clicking a link from slashdot/cnn/google news/neowin because they are only getting the message if your site would have been hit. Seems simple, and a list could be maintained. While this wouldn't protect you from anything not on the list, neither does antivirus protection.
Dataplay, the Boulder-based manufacturer of quarter-sized recordable discs and drives, finally called it quits on Friday
Well, can't say I'm surprised. While there are a VERY few uses for drives this small, the demand is pretty dang small. For what I'm sure is much less, you can get much more storage at a resonable size. So while the technology is very, very cool... it realy doesn't have enough people to support it. (Unless it was made by a big manufacturer like IBM that also did many other things...)
Anotherng that will hold the iPod is it's exclisive Macintosh support. Now, I'm not trying to troll, but if they wanted the iPod to gain market share they would have it support all of the major platforms, much like how Microsoft is developing Office for OSX. Now, if they wanted to only use the iPod as a tool to bring people to Macintosh exclusivly, then it was a good idea; however they should have accepted that as more products became availible they would gain in popularity.
Yes, I'm aware that my host sucks. As soon as I stop being lazy, I'll just host it myself. My IP address almost never changes, and I don't get to much trafic.
Now back on point... many times before has the subject of P2P programs in school been posted. AND, in the comments were the several aproaches that the schools have made to combat them, from straight out blocking the ports, to throttling the ports, and to sending notices to the people using the most bandwidth. This allows students to continue to use the internet for recreation (to a point) while allowing usable speeds on port 80. If the RIAA wants to tell schools "Stop it!" then they should without comming out with all these excuses and reasons. Especialy if there are better ways of addressing them then cracking down on students.
Now, there is some truth in this. I would moderate +1 Insightful but I thought to just comment instead and let other people mod. There was a story (I can't find it) where slashdot linked to a site hosted on a shared server, and the owner of the site posted an e-mail from his hosting company basicly saying "Sorry, buh-bye". They did make a good point, that the server had crashed over 4 times that day... but it seems like since it was already over canceling the account was pointless.
I would think that if you set up creative policies, it should allow for DOS-like conditions as long as they were one-time, and not the fault of the site's owner. Now I'm not trying to flame/troll slashdot, but I'm quite sure the continued reckless linking will continue for the imediate future, and I would hate to be a site owner talking to an IT department after a mid-day slashdoting.
I didn't see that. But you are correct, and as it stands I host everything myslef on donated and refurbished equipment, so I DON'T have any expences, OR revenue. Looks like I CAN be legal
Um, excuse me, this is for Zero dollers and zero cents.
Well, 15% of NO REVENUE. Figure it out.
This is putting my plans for a small personal non-profit webstream back from underground to legal. Also, I know many radio stations who multi-cast and don't get any revenue from THEIR stremes who will get to stop pointing those "Listen Live" links to http://www.sos.dj
The first time I saw google news, it looked interesting. But then as quickly as it came, I stoped liking it. I don't wan't to read all my news in one place. I'd rather have my Opera personal bar with one link for slashdot (tech news), neowin (Windows news), CNN (International News), and The Seattle Times (Local news). I'm sure that lots of people will enjoy the convienence of all their news on one page, but I sometimes feel like one type of news or the other, but rarely all kinds at once.
For FM, the challange isn't power, it's height. We have a station in Seattle that moved it's transmitter from it's current location with 80,000 wats to the top of Couger Mountain and lowered their power to around 8,000 wats and GREATLY increased their listining area.
You can't just reinstall IIS when you get '0wned' because people are stupid. If they set their permissions right, then IUSR_MACHINENAME wouldn't have any rights to anything outside of the web root. Therefore, code red would have gotten a big fat access denied when it tried to spread. And yes, that issue is a big one, but you must be AT the local machine. This meens that a couple of middle-school kids will be able to get around the security of their class room Compaqs.
Because it seems to me that the parent and all the replys up to me seem to be missing the point that this story is about programs to prevent people from connecting unauthorized to wireless networks...

Thank you, very interesting/informative.

Alright, Mr. Johnson, here's your check.

Turn it on.
Awww, you're so kind. Thanks.

Yah, and AOL CD's don't count. That should take them down a few hundred terabites.

Read the article. All of it. TWO bugs. FIRST is the LOW RISK info bug, the second is the root exploit.

Wonder why our phones never worked?
