Here in NY USA I can often put food outside from January through April, and save my electric bill - the freezer becomes redundant. In my room, the SMP machines keep a comfortable temperature (for myself and them) with the windows open all year.
(5) INCLUSION OF IDENTIFIER, OPT-OUT, AND PHYSICAL ADDRESS IN COMMERCIAL ELECTRONIC MAIL- (A) It is unlawful for any person to initiate the transmission of any commercial electronic mail message to a protected computer unless the message provides--
(i) clear and conspicuous identification that the message is an advertisement or solicitation;
(ii) clear and conspicuous notice of the opportunity under paragraph (3) to decline to receive further commercial electronic mail messages from the sender; and
(iii) a valid physical postal address of the sender.
(B) Subparagraph (A)(i) does not apply to the transmission of a commercial electronic mail message if the recipient has given prior affirmative consent to receipt of the message.
I'm not too sure about that last one, however; I've seen tons of stuff regarding "...or our marketing partner."
with mine - there's only so much you can do with dialup. If I need to nove iso's of something, I can always snarf my friends cable modem for an evening.
OK, I may be mistaken here. I thought that all the newer versions of NutScrape (the browser) were based directly on Mozilla, from NS 6.x on up. I also assumed that would be bundled with the ISP package since, well, they already own the browser. Or did I miss too much news?
I saw the 1/4 used for pro audio and lab test racks (a buddy used to be an acoustic engineer). However, a lot of our equipment was older war surplus (H-P and Tektronix), so 10-32 is probably better. Yer probably right about 10-32 if its a newer standard.
for US sizes, should be 1/4-in. holes spaced 1-3/4 in. apart on centers, vertically. The vertical rails should be spaced so the hole rows are 19-in. apart on centers. Being an experienced fabricator (I do it for a living) I'd use 1-1/2 in. angle iron and tap the bolt holes 1/4-NC-20 so as to thread the equipment bolts directly into the rack, no nuts required.
An easier alternative (but less "pro") is to look for Unistrut or "rack/shelving" strut at your local hardware or home center. It usually comes in 6-foot lengths, and has a series of holes and slots pre-punched.
We also had "parents", in addition to "teachers" and "administrators". Via some very obscure protocols (called "telephone", I believe), all of these established an extremely fast and efficient neural net, which had two immediate effects:
1: The information transfer function of the "teachers" was greatly enhanced, for use during otherwise slack compute cycles, and
2: Outlier students (such as myself) with rouge programming were corrected in near-real-time. Deficient behavior was *always* risky, and usually difficult, regardless of geographical area and time variables.
The practical upshot to this arrangement seems to be a very efficient system of parsing, building, and correcting both behavior and information transfer on-the-fly, as it were. The additional benefits include not wasting more of the taxpayer's ("parents") resources, nor any waste of the "administrators'" time. Further, we didn't have to deal with silly BS like various advocacy/gov't groups.
Good points overall, and I'll stand by an earlier post of mine which stated that this destroys a "moral high ground" that the Open Source/Free community could use. This is regardless of whether it was actual, spoofed, or whatever - it casts a shadow of doubt where we don't want one.
Now, on to my real point:
Let me pose two other scenarios. Both scenarios assume use of a 2.x Linux kernel.
1: It is not necessarily "dumb" to reply to a SYN. The kernel config has a feature called "CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES" which uses a challenge-response setup for syn-flooding. The bandwidth would still have been saturated.
2: Newer kernels have a feature called "CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN" which allows generation and spewing of arbitrary packets for network testing. I don't recall which kernel version it appeared in, or what the backports are if any. Again, the bandwidth could have been saturated, at least in one direction.
Overall IMHO the way to deal with this sort of attack is QOS/bandwidth throttling. I'd be very interested to see the largest and smallest netblocks and geographical areas where this alleged attack came from, if possible.
Never could figure out why such a fuss. Maybe people are just badly misinformed; at any rate, our own bone marrow continues to produce stem cells all our lives. Just at a reduced rate.
"...operated under the promise that this would not be done."
Speaking as a NYS native and resident, there's a good reason why I don't trust any of it (no, I don't even *use* the Thruway anymore).
1. About 15 yrs ago, the Thruway was supposedly paid for, and the toll booths would be torn down. Instead, tolls doubled that summer.
2. During the same time frame, the NYS Power Authority/Niagara Mohawk declared the original mortgage on the hydro plant to be paid in full. Rates went up 2 months later.
IIRC in my 36 years of life, NYS has never been on time with its budget, and has always had a deficit like what California has now.
Last but not least, the State sells your info to marketers unless you *specifically* opt-out with the check-box on your motor vehicle paperwork.
Conclusion: I will never trust this state until they show that they are trustworthy.
Here's another take on it: SCO is a US company, and responds to legal and financial pressures more than anything. After all, most of their revenue lately has come from large investors, not their website or their products. DDoS'ing them is kinda pointless, at best. Far better to let the lawyers and financial analysts do the job.
Hell, *I* use Linux and dislike SCO, but this is just a tad unprofessional. OK, I'm kinda disgusted by this behavior - it destroys a moral "high ground" that might be useful to have shortly.
Probably RH; IIRC this wasn't announced till after RH filed suit, and (if memory serves) Bob Young is Canadian. Even if he no longer works at RH, they may well have been backed by RBC.

If this is true, I have to wonder what if anything it will do for Mozilla's exposure.

True; I didn't consider that one. Thanks for the correction.
Maybe a switch *was* flipped.

I've never assumed that anyone would *want* to see my very hairy backside, either.

It's even funnier when you misspelled it.
