No, not if you have setup an.rhosts file on the target machine. With that in place, you are not asked to re-login. This is one of the main reasons for using r*, to avoid repeatedly typing the password.
So far, I'm not seeing a problem. What am I missing?
Who in their right mind uses r* and sendmail on anything connected to the public internet?
What, exactly, is wrong woth the r* commands?
Everything I have read appears to say that the problem is in the usage of the programs. That is to say, that bad "trust" chains can be established. And that doesn't make the code itself bad.
So my question is: Is the code in the r* commands broken such that it can be exploited even if NO host equivalency files exist?
They decided to make cars one day, and low and behold - Honda made a car just like Ford! It had four wheels, engine up front with a stearing wheel in the same place. Hell, even the controlls were roughly in the same place.
Well, kinda. The first Honda production car was the 1963 Honda S500. It had four wheels and a front/rear engine/drive config, true. But that's about as close to Ford-like as it came, with the drive train being a motorcycle chain. And of course, the steering wheel and controls on the right-hand side. (You've forgotten that the Japanese drive on the English side of the road.)
They would be putting themselves in a somewhat compromised position here. They are more interested in buying succeeding businesses (like their attempt at Nintendo).
Not necessarily. Companies that succeed may invest in other good companies, true, but other good investments would be:
a company that increases sales of your existing products by more than what it costs you. The company could be losing money on its basic product line in order to support the sales of the parent organization.
a marginally profitable company that would have a major negative impact on your sales if you allowed it to go down the drain.
As an example of (2), consider the privatization of CompUSA. 51% ownership went to private ownership in Mexico. The rest was divided up amongst one of the baby Bell telephone companies, Microsoft, and someone else (don't remember right now; not important here). IIRC, MS got about 10% of Comp and may still have it.
CompUSA was not anybody's model of a successful company. But without Comp, MS would have lost a large chunk of their retail presence.
In this case, (British TV), it does look like they're trying to get a foothold in a new market. But is it to make a profit out of TV production or because a new, national WindowsTV would make big bucks in license sales?
Or it could be the disaster that kills Wine / Linux. IFF the WinSource is handed over for technical examination, it will certainly be in a VERY controlled environment and, most likely, subject to non-disclosure agreements or court orders. If copyrighted code from Windows wound up in any part of Linux, then Microsoft would have legal justification to sue distributors everywhere to block all distribution. Followed by suits against every name in the contributors list for the infected projects.
Out-thinking Microsoft is one thing. Stealing their shit is something entirely different.
I, for one, am delighted to see this announcement. This appears to be very nearly the device that I have been saving my pennies to purchase. I had not actually expected to see one, though, so I was preparing to buy one of the Linux-based Sharp Zaurus thingies.
The fact that this dream device is being pre-announced is obviously a move to keep me from buying a Sharp in the immediate future. So that means that Hitachi must have found out that the production release of the Sharp is going to happen any day now.
That's because it is spelled barratry. And, interestingly, the layman's dictionary def is "instigating lawsuits", not "threating to instigate lawsuits". Dunno if there is a legal distinction, since (all together now, children) IANAL.
Over in what represents itself as a legal dictionary, law.com mentions barratry as a form of shady/illegal business practice by lawyers. Goodness, surely not lawyers.
A very dear friend of mine died after fighting cancer for ten years. During that time, she was almost constantly in pain, her family was emotionally destroyed, and her husband driven past bankruptcy into a horrifying debt load for doctors and treatments that only slowed the progression.
Long life with cancer is not a satisfactory response to anything.
What is it about voice recognition that suckers journalists in every time?
They're writing about what they see as most important. You need to remember that reporters/journalists/comentators in the print media want desperately to be in the non-print media (radio / tv). And to those in the non-print media, their voice is the most beautiful thing in the world. It's no points for content or relevance and full points for inflection and intonation.
With voice being that important (at least sub-consciously), of course voice response gets played up.
I hoped the more experienced among you could provide some insight.
Welcome to the game of life. The game-clock is running and we are keeping score. If you don't already know the rules of the game, then you really don't want to try to learn them while the game is in progress.
Seriously, until you have a clue about taxes, insurance, liability, and a zillion other things, start off as an employee. Employees don't get rich, but they (generally) don't get sued when their code isn't what the customer didn't tell you they wanted and employees don't get hounded by the Internal Revenue Service for "forgetting" to pay their taxes.
Once you figure out the rules or get a better personal support team than slashdot, then you can think about the subtleties of a Sub-S Corporation.
There only piece of insight you need is to know that
Be sure to publicize the date well in advance. This will allow me to cultivate a case of 24-hour flu which will keep me out of the way of the "fun-lovers".
Since, as a personal choice, I avoid crowds of loud and/or drunk people upon whom I am not allowed to practice violence, I refuse to attend office parties. (Have you ever been forced to smile when a drunken Vice-President throws a glass of beer in your face? Been there. Not going back.)
Slashdot Mirror
Yep.
That's fifty dollars a month more for really fun toys from Nikon, Kodak, Shimano, Tom Mann, Winchester, and Remington.

Or landing. Landing without taking serious damage is the part that takes the longest to learn. Well, maybe flying with your eyes closed (instruments).

April fool's day seems to be a little early this year.
Decimate, obliterate, or exterminate?
Maybe not, but it is outside, pushing.
I believe that the word you are looking for is TANSTAAFL.

Of course, it may be different in your universe.

So HOORAY! The Sharp is on the way!!!
Or not.
Even better... No salesmen! (Gol-durn tele-marketers, right in the middle of shuttle docking.)
Not a problem. Just don't let your nanobots wear rolled-up cuffs on their blue jeans and they won't get caught in the drive chain.

That's not an exclusively female attribute. I happen to be extremely experienced at being 29 years old.
Older females are bloody marvelous at raising children and don't ever forget it.
Don't make me talk to your Mama 'bout this.
Right now, I can't get to BBC, The Guardian, or The Register.
Maybe they've shut the uk domain down for boxing day.

And, thus, an idea that will ultimately fail.
As someone else around here says (paraphrasing) "Just cause you can doesn't mean you should".
Or, as I prefer it, "Revolutions do not succeed because they are technically possible; they succeed when the old ways no longer work".
In my Netscape 4.72, all I got was a collection of dancing, colored lines. So I moved on to other things.
Oh, wait. Is that what they sell? Dancing, colored lines? Is that it?
