Most likely not. While I am personally only familiar with state level races, this is not the case with them. Now if they were co-hosted on their own servers in a colo somewhere I would give credence to your statement.
Anybody checked to see if these are the only sites on these systems?
Subject: Rating the Bush and Kerry Web sites on security Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:43:44 -0400 From: Richard M. Smith <rms@computerbytesman.com> To: 'Declan McCullagh' <declan@well.com>
Hi,
To rate George Bush and John Kerry on the Homeland Security issue, I just completed two quick security audits of the official Bush (http://www.georgewbush.com/) and Kerry (http://www.johnkerry.com/) campaign Web sites. Unfortunately, I found problems at both Web sites.
Here are the results of my testing so far:
1. Both the Bush and the Kerry Web sites have cross-site scripting errors (XSS). These errors can allow a prankster to create fake Web pages which load from the Bush or Kerry Web sites but additional content can be supplied from a different Web server belonging to a prankster. A prankster could then say anything they want on a Bush or Kerry Web page using a XSS error. Examples include fake news stories, slogans telling visitors to vote for the other candidate, and doctored photos of a candidate.
2. Error trapping at the Kerry Web site isn't very good. Typing unusual characters into Web forms at the Kerry Web site causes Web server applications to fail and a visitor is shown very cryptic error pages. These problems might be a sign of SQL injection errors which can be quite serious. An SQL injection error can sometimes be used by an outsider to break into a backend database at a Web site and then to make off with private information from the database.
3. The Bush Web site has hired a company called Omniture to track users at the Bush Web site. Omniture uses hidden Web bugs to do this tracking. Perhaps this Web site feature was requested by John Ashcroft?;-) This relationship with Omniture is not spelled out in the Bush Web site privacy policy. For more about information about Omniture, check out their Web site at http://www.omniture.com/company.html.
4. Both the Bush and Kerry Web sites encourage visitors to add banner ads for the candidates to their own Web pages. The Bush banner ad uses JavaScript supplied from the Bush Web server (See http://www.georgewbush.com/WStuff/BPAdFeed.a spx). The Kerry banner ads use an embedded IFRAME (See http://www.johnkerry.com/download/promos.html). B oth banner ad schemes allow the campaigns to track visitors to any Web pages where the banner ads appear. In addition, the Bush JavaScript scheme allows the Bush Web server to run any script code inside of other people's Web pages. This scheme doesn't strike me as a very good idea from a security standpoint.
5. Both candidates have good Web site privacy policies. For some odd reason, the Kerry Web site privacy policy is also certified by Truste and BBBOnline.
6. It appears that the open source vs. closed source debate has also entered the presidential campaign. The Kerry home page comes from an Apache Web server running on a Red Hat Linux box. The Bush Web site on the other hand is hosted on a more corporate Microsoft-powered IIS 5.0 server and uses ASP.NET. I did not check to see if this IIS server is up to date with Microsoft security patches.
If anyone else runs across anything interesting at these two Web sites, please let me know.

Now when it comes down to who uses what tools and software let me ask this as my own comment. Do you think either politician even knows what their site is running on? Further do you think they care? Most likely someone on the IT staff at each party knows someone who works at or owns a hosting company and whatever they have as default is what the candidate is using. I would personally be far more interested in what they use personally compared to this, and of course far more than that in their policies and practices.
You can call it flaimbait but what Gojira has said here is true. means => ends not ends => means I personally would consider any help to such an organisation the same as aiding the PLO, IRA, Hezbollah, ELN or any of many other organisations
Even when its a freak right is right. (Gojira has me listed as a foe)
Any breakout box or TBC (time base corrector) that rebuilds line 21 defeats macrovision. Admittedly they are more expensive, but anyone who works with video n a regular basis at more than the hobby level is likely to have one.
Look zinc oxide... is what people use in super density sunscreen.. hence the beach reference. I never said anything about aluminium and I did not, but should have mentioned electronegativity (why zincs are use as sacrificial metals not because of oxidation) Now go read a decent p-chem text and learn something.
and if you look closely you will see bits of metal welded to the terminals. Further there is a big difference between zinc and iron as for oxidation rates. Which btw is why you see ferric oxide aka rust all over the place and you will rarely see zinc oxide except on the beach.
and where does that vaporised metal go? Sure some of it is converted into zinc oxide but some of it will be redeposited on the system. Further, what about the situation where the connection isn't made until after the depositing of numerous fibres. Its not as simple or as complex as either side is making it out to be. (I personally haven't seen enough either way personally to be swung to one side or the other in this debate.) Remember, dust can carry enough of a static charge to destroy circuitry over time.
This would be a childhood dream come true. Spending the summer on my Grandad's farm in NW Georgia. I just wish you could choose other tractors like my GD's Allis Chalmers Model C Maybe there could be a side game where you have to run the piglets out of the corn field and the only way you can tell where they are is by watching the tops of the 6 ft corn move. Scary thing is I am not joking.
Any form or exercise would have caused this issue for the person in question. They had a precursory cardiac condition. DDR had no more to do with this than walking biking, running or anything else. Could the Writers try to be a little less inflammatory in the future?
Given my stance of conservatism (member of the constitution party, Semiretired security analyst and network engineer turned seminary student I see this whole debate and need for the law (or need of defence from the law depending on ones outlook) as completely pointless. What it really boils down to is personal responsibility and responsibility to protect those under your care. Our system of laws and outlook of the same is incredibly backwards. If you do not want your children involved with porn, then raise them properly, including taking an actual interest in who they are and what they want, say and do... novel concept these days I know. Don't care or want your children involved then either leave them open to it or show it to them. We should be active not reactive.
Note I personally know that porn can be very damaging to adults, and more so to children and minors, and even having a law on the books doesn't abrogate personal responsibility.
Plus he (the character) said (or rather typed) that he knew it would be a one way trip. Of course it is Science Fiction (or probably more appropriately science fantasy) and movie physics != reality in approaching 100% of the time.
My first engineering job out of college was at a water-jet company. I can tell you from experience while water isn't very compressible it most certainly is compressible. I don't remember where the transition is but I can safely say that water at 60-100k psi does not behave the way you would think water would. (oh and it is compressed at those pressures). All that aside however I understand your point. teh delta between a gas's compression and a liquid's compression at terrestrial pressures is well astronomical:)
According to this site on metabolism and aquatic animals a moderately active blue shark needs to consume.2 to.6% of its body mass in food per day. Larger animals tend to be more efficient in regards to metaboloism (with regards to sharks anyways) but lets assume the figure holds true. Also allow us to assume that this link on shark fossil identification is correct in its statements of the megalodon's size (up to 25 metric tons) so it would need to consume a whopping 50 to 150 pounds of food a day. given the size of its potential prey (other pages say sperm whale sized animals so call them 80,000 pounds) I don;t think the megalodon would have to eat very often to survive. Of course this is all completely conjecture based on insomnia and a reasonable set of google searches.
"and the necessary references to Megalodon and none other than The Core."
I would have thought the The Abyss would have been a much better reference than The Core. Certainly better science, and for that matter better science fiction.
Nah Slashdot wouldn't want to discuss me. I did forget 2 people on my list of raving loonies though Richard Stallman and Quentin Tarantino. Of course Tarantino doesn't get much mention here so maybe just Stallman.
Besides if Slashdot was about me, the tagline would have to be changed to
"News for Apologists, Diatribes that Matter"
And to whomever whoever modded me a troll, which of the people I mentioned do you not think are raving loonies?
You are misrepresenting my post. I never stated his works were allegorical, nor did i purport that Tolkien claimed his works were allegorical. I said they came from a Christian world-view. In fact Tolkien was the one who impressed the idea upon CS Lewis so not only is my quote valid it is accurate in its intent. You are simply misreading world-view as allegory.
Rather I would suggest that you, dear poster, are the one who is either uninformed or attempting to misinform.
To quote Tolkien himself this time: from his collected Letters #142 of that collection includes the statement:
'The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision. That is why I have not put in, or have cut out, practically all references to anything like 'religion', to cults or practices, in the imaginary world. For the religious element is absorbed into the story and the symbolism.'
Not surprised in the least, nor am I surprised about it being "discussed" on Slashdot. After all we already talk about Darl McBride's latest lies and Dvorak's latest crack smokings why not add Michael Moore into the mix? Maybe we can have Cmdr Taco change the Slashdot subtext to:
News for Nerds. Stuff that matters. Ravings of Loonies.
Label me what you will, Mac Freak, BSD Zealot, Rolemaster 2nd Apologist, Grey Hat, Young Earth Creationist, Bad Typist Speller, and Poor Grammarian. (I just figured I would get it out of the way). On top of all that (or rather underlying it) I am an Evangelical Christian of the Reformed Tradition with Jewish roots. Oh, and I love radio dramas, and as a subset Adventures in Odyssey.
All of that being said, I don't really like they way this company seems to be headed. Christian music has become to popular, to the point it is often difficult to tell the difference between sacred and secular. It is my entrenched belief that once you cannot see the line anymore, it isn't there. Christian games should strive be the best out there, not the most popular. Christians these days often lose sight of it not being about money. You do what you are called to do, not because it is easy or popular but because you were called. You needs will be met, and by that I don't mean your need to drive a Lexus and live in a 3000+ sq. ft home. (unless of course it is a generational home or something similar).
Christian games can be fun, exciting challenging etc. All to often, however, they are cheesy, shoddily made, or quite droll. The Christian life isn't some go stick your head in the sand way of living (though again some have made it that). People forget that it is a Christian world view that shaped Tolkien's works and yet I would argue that there are a fair number of/.'rs who enjoy the works yet do not have a similar belief. In my mind it should be the same with Christian games. In the end, games for me are about story telling and use such to challenge the mind and soul.
In any case I will leave you with the following quote ascribed to CS Lewis regarding one of the many conversations he and JRR Tolkien had on issues of myth, storytelling and its effects"
"Now the story of Christ is simply a true myth: a myth working on us the same way as the others, but with this tremendous difference that it Really happened: and one must be content to accept it in the same way, remembering that it is God's myth where the others are men's myths; i.e. the Pagan stories are God expressing Himself through the minds of the poets, using such images as He found there, while Christianity is God expressing Himself through what we call 'real things'... namely, the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection."
No, what they know that the federal gov can;t be hit with IP and licensing breaches. That is of course unless the federal courts give the entity trying to sue the right to do so, and its on a case by case basis.
Apple had previously referred service calls to CDS. But increasingly, Apple refers service customers to its own retail operations, claims Verga.
Being an AAST (Apple Authorised Service Tech) the Apple Store here in the Dallas area has allowed me to put business cards in the front desk. The stores don't do out of warranty work, so they encourage techs, VARs and solutions providers to list themselves at the stores. This being the case I really think these foxes are crying about grapes (imperfect Aesop allusion)

The cars are inherently safer. What you should have said is the DRIVERS of cars with antilock brakes are inherently more dangerous.

Lets work to change lives now laws.
oh well off to a meeting
