I'd add to this that post-war communism in the Third World was to a large degree an anti-colonial movement, an ideology to rally people to rise against the foreign rulers.
I'd suggest that radical Islam plays a similar role in the middle east. It provides an ideological and cultural counterpoint to an invasive foreign system. Not only has the western world colonized the rest of the world on an economic and cultural level, the US is now recolonizing the middle east on a physical level too.
Yeah, and many of these reasons are so morally corrupt or plain stupid and counterproductive. I was going to go through your post point by point, but I'll just say IMHO colonizing a country is wrong wrong wrong. Also goes to show how unsustainable western "civilization" is if it depends on expansion and appropriation of others' natural resources.
I'm not a total relativist but I'll also say Islam is a civilization and no less a valid or valuable one than then western civilization (of which Gandhi said "would be a good idea"...).
Sometimes my cynical side thinks Bush isn't even trying to stop Islamic radicalism. Fundamentalists need each other to get power at home, see Norther Ireland. Bush was a mediocre president at best until 9/11, and he's been riding the terror horse that made him #1 ever since.
Like someone already pointed out earlier, it's not a matter of what's important. Capitalization is for proper nouns. Think of it as class vs object if you're a geek. The name of an object is a proper noun and hence capitalized, the name of a class is not.
Incidentally, after WW2 quite a few Finnish officers were employed by the US military. They had expertise in intelligence (having fought the Soviets) as well as in guerilla and cold climate warfare. Larry Thorne (born Lauri Torni) is probably the most famous.
I had problems with the hard drive as well. POST would last 5 minutes and it wouldn't start. When swapped the short single connector IDE cable for a normal one it worked fine. Annoying, though.
A few nitpicks: -0.9rc is a release candidate so expect it to be buggy. In fact it's not even 1.0 so even the FireFox team considers current releases to be pre-releases. -You can set the install directory if you select Custom in the Setup Type dialog
I'm currently trying to make an MSI installer out of 0.9.1 so I can deploy it across the network using GPOs. Anyone had success with this?
I guess someone would get turned on by the smell of their computer if they'd spent lots of time in front of it 'degaussing their coil', to borrow a phrase from UF.
My take on courses is: yes, you can learn the same stuff if you take the time. However, your boss is unlikely to give you time during work hours to study. When the employer has to pay muchos buckos for it he gets a warm fuzzy feeling that you are doing something worthwhile.
The Nimda worm was another hybrid, perhaps even nastier. It spread(s) using Outlook Express, IE and IIS, as well as Windows network shares.

In an article I read the CEO of FSecure was quoted as saying the biggest recruitment problem is the lack of assembly language teaching in universities these days.
I guess it helps if you are in the business of making bugs, too.
it all started in 1981 with his grandfather back in Finland, who let him play around on a Vic 20 computer. At 11 years old, Torvalds was hooked on computersespecially on figuring out how they ran and on improving their operating systems. For years, Torvalds did little but program, upgrading his hardware every couple of years, attending school in a desultory fashion and generally letting the outside world float by unnoticed, until he eventually wrote his own operating system, Linux. In a radical move, he began sharing the code with fellow OS enthusiasts over the burgeoning Internet in the early 1990s, allowing others to contribute to and improve it, while he oversaw the process.
For all Ken Brown is saying about what's wrong with Linus' story, I don't think he's even read the biography - or understood it if he has.
I wonder about this sometimes. There are so many port scans and intrusion attempts they aren't worth getting you knickers in a twist about. All the non-necessary ports are blackholed anyway.
What I do worry about are the connections that take place with actual open services. They are the ones that ought to be monitored for foul play. Log checkers and proactive HTTP request sanitizers are more use there.
It sets three variables onto three axes to show network traffic between your network and the net:
1) Your IP range 2) The entire IP range 3) Destination port
It's useful for things like picking up semirandom port scans that you might not detect based on textual data (see "barber poles").
Entire para:
"The Cube takes this connection information stored in the Bro files and displays it in a graphical format which can be more readily understood by people who are unfamiliar with networking and computer security techniques. The 'X' axis of the display (shown in red) represented the SCinet address space, which ranged from 141.221.128.0 - 141.221.255.255. The 'Z' axis (shown in blue) represented all possible IP address space (0.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255). Multicast traffic (224.0.0.0 and above) was not displayed. The 'Y' axis (shown in green) represented the port number number (0-65535). Some well known port numbers include 22 (ssh), 25 (smtp), 80 (http). "

Sorry, I was nodding away. Did someone say something to me?
Well, my question would be why scientific networks like this one have to be connected to the Internet.
Any OS from W2K upwards version supports IPSEC.
So you've found a more efficient way of colonizing the heathens. Great.
Let's not forget that Saddam was a western creation in the first place.
Oh yeah, and what was this thing about WMDs again?

The name you were thinkin of?

Do a search on freshmeat.net. MyDNS also runs straight off MySQL.
It does NOT account for Outlook. It's a method for preventing address forgery.
Create a new bug that sends spam with the Outlook and you won't be able to differentiate between spam and real mail from the Outlook user.

Look at the URL. Those wisecracks at CNN couldn't resist a jibe, could they?

One of my pet peeves, and definitely one for the pullet surprise list. Grrrr...
I assume it's alright if I tap into to your mobile phone conversations, then?

Like a 3D spectrum analyzer! Now we just need a sound generator that produces music from the data.
If it's leisurely elevator music you're all hunky dory but if it escalates to 200bpm hardcore acid techno you know you're fucked.
