Well-said. Still, I'm glad this happened in India, where the police were on-the-ball and willing to cooperate, as opposed to some other place where local authorities make no attempts to cooperate with foreign.
Currently, when I slap a Disney DVD into my set-top player, I have to leave the room for twenty minutes while the mandatory previews play (well, okay, until I hacked my player I did...).
How'd you hack your player? I would love to skip the ads and play the movie. Hell - I payed for it, didn't I? If I wanted to watch ads, I would watch TV. So, how do you hack your DVD player to skip the ads?
...so if a web site advertises the checksum a file should have, you can compare that with one generated from the file you actually got to see....
If someone can push a hacked file up to some site for download, couldn't they just hack the advertised MD5 too? What sort of precautions are in-place to defeat this?
I wonder if this technique can be applied to "re-wire" the brains of stroke victims so that they could learn to use their limbs again via a different part of the brain.
It's STILL premature to assume this is life-generated, but its another awesome piece of support for the increased possibility of life.
How 'bout seeing something moving or swimming or something? How about bones, or old rusted-out flying saucer wrecks or something? If there was life on Mars, we'd know by now.
...Barracuda put SpamAssassin in $300 bargin basement hardware...
And starting at $1399, it's no bargain. Ciphertrust looks worse- they won't even list their price.
Which one of the above-mentioned products is low-cost (better yet, free), effective, and easy-to configure? That's the one I want between my mail server and the world. I've been searching for it for awhile now, but still haven't run across the right solution. D-Spam looks like it has the most potential, but may be difficult to install.
you're only as safe as the weakest link in the chain
I'm going to opt-out from all of the databases I can think of. With any luck, they'll honor the request. You can start by sending an opt-out request to optoutUS@acxiom.com. (Hopefully they won't spam me). Next up: The Direct Marketers' Association.
if radios only work during outages, then training is worthless and when the time comes the operators will be worthless too
Yeah, I kinda figured on that - that's why I said it's certainly not a long-term solution. It just seems like the juggernaut that is big business cannot be stopped (at least not while Dubya is in office). This situation definitely sounds like we're aiming to shoot ourselves in the foot. It seems crazy that the FCC is allowing this.
I wonder if, in emergency situations like those described above, we could convince the power companies to disable BPL temporarily. Of course, that doesn't solve the long-term issue, but it would at least help out in emergency situations.
Too bad there's not a mod option for "(+1, Horrifying)"
Heh, heh. I like Postfix too. I remember back when I was playing with Mandrake 8.1, it came as the default MTA (if I recall correctly). I'm a fan of the QVCS-guide , which uses qmail, but I hope they switch to Postfix.
DJB hasn't updated qmail since 1997 and it looks doubtful he ever will.
Yeah, what's up with that? To boot, apparently the qmail license is fairly restrictive where distribution is concerned. At least that's what the QVCS guide has been complaining about. I hear they plan on switching to Postfix, or something else.

Check out the Omnivor/Orn/Ox series he wrote back in the day. That was good writing. The first Xanth was fun too. But yes, most of his recent work is just so much verbal masturbation
I'm not a low-level guy, so I'm probably missing something here, but douldn't you have encrypted byte-code that get's decrypted on-the-fly or something? Or are you saying that the minute it gets translated into machine-executable code, there are ways to step-in and intercept that code?

The U.S. will donate $35 million. Let's see...
$35000000 - amount committed to help victims
100000 - conservative death toll
= $350 - spent to aid each victim
$147000000,000 - spent on war in Iraq
17000 - rough number of Iraqis killed
= $8,647,058 - spent to kill each Iraqi
I'm ashamed to be an American. Call me a troll if you want, but these numbers are sickening.

Not if Bush has anything to say about it.

Thanks for the tip.

I won't use your info for nefarious purposes... really, I wont!

I've always just assumed memory chips would get cheap enough to obviate the need for any kind of spinning disc. How far away can we be? 5 years?
Maybe this explains where mad cow disease is coming from. The WiFi is driving them batty.
I got a case of decent spaghetti sauce for installing a LinkSys.
Yep

Apparently, 60% of the world does.
