Well, there's a heck of a lot more than 12,000 BGP capable routers out there. I think the article was implying an ISP's BGP router being compromised, THAT would cause a big headache for their peers until it got corrected (which could take up to 18hrs at the national ISP I used to work at, at least on weekends.)
C'mon guys, locksmiths have known this since pin and tumbler locks caught on. I spent a year as a locksmith apprentice and saw this done many times and it takes f*ing FOREVER, scratches up the pins in the lock and is very, very, obvious.
Next, researchers will tell the public that almost any car can be *gasp* hot-wired!
Things do indeed look grim for the state of Western economies in the 21st century, particularily for the US as it ceases creating wealth and its economy starts hemorraging with nary a bandaid in sight. Canada I wouldn't say is in the same position but the similarities btwn those two countries economies (and Canada's reliance on the US's) can't be ignored.
But fortunately, President Bush, or at least his advisors, are way ahead of the/. computer-chair-critics on this one. Seriously, does anyone actually think Iraq is a bigger worry than North Korea? They've been nice and quiet for a few years and beyond oppressing their own people and running a dictatorship (not things that typically bothers the US) have been pretty well-behaved. But all that oil they're sitting on.... geez, what a freedom-loving, SUV-driving, liberty-humping country could do with all that oil. Said president simply needs to erase the oppressive government, install a friendly secular one, then donate loads of (primarily military) aide, ala Israel, and we'll be rolling in the smelly black stuff. George Bush may be a few marbles short but he has some damn good advisors.
That sounds dumb.... aren't these stations making money off advertisers? Wouldn't a captive audience in a taxi mean more people hearing the commercials? That's the logic behind the annoying radio stations they play in dentists' offices.
I work at one of the largest IVR dating companies in the US and we're Solaris across the board. Before that we were Netware.
I have some mild familiarity with what our competition is running and they have pretty much the same setup, I don't think any of the big boys run IVRs on W2K. May make sense though if it was just a small office voicemail system.
But sleep easy linux-zealot, if it's on one unix, it's on them all.
"The USSR was #2 to the US while it was around, and the #1 (US) was trying to kick them in the eye the whole time. Hardly ideal circumstances to establish a utopia."
True. But don't forget to throw in murdering 10s of millions of your citizens, entrenching the elite governing party's power, getting rid of basic human rights and wasting their resources building cities on top of perma frost in the middle of nowhere. Too bad the U.S. forced them to do all that huh? They could of been an idyllic utopia, just like Cuba, China or North Korea.
...is to keep an infected program zipped or in a disk backup. You can plead ignorance to possession and the authorities would have to prove your malice.
Well if you didn't go to a private school as well as a public then you can't really make a good comparison, can you? I went to both like the dude in the parent post and I agree, private teachers are *generally* better teachers. They hire the better educated, actually look at their transcipts and personalities. It's all about the benjis.
No, Canuck lawyers are just as expensive except when it comes to class action suits (then they're only allowed a slightly smaller cut then their colleagues south of the border, but I guess that depends on the state). It's also harder to qualify for a public attorney in Ontario then most other places. You can request one but the legal aid society will later attempt to determine if you can afford to pay them back based on your past and current income and may send you a hefty bill.
On a totally and completely different topic: I've noticed that Americans, for the most part, seem to equate prison with rape. Certainly forcibile sodomy has been going on since time immmorial in jails, but it's been openly acknowledged as a problem for the last few centuries and steps have been taken to minimize it. But back to my original point, Americans take for granted that prisoners in jail are raped by bigger, meaner criminals, and yet they don't really care.... it's more of an inevitability than a problem to them. Do they condone rape as just punishment for breaking the law?

"I never got used to that vinegar-on-french-fries thing, though"
That's good, because vinegar just eats away at your stomach lining anyways.

....or did that series just warp my mind?
"While I do agree with you, I am under the belief that The Star actually owns The Sun."
Me too. It makes sense along the same lines as the theory that the CIA exists only to take attention away from the State Department.
...Solaris, so at least it's a nix.

Sounds like the guy who submitted the article sells them for a living.

Just wait, fellow code monkeys.... India and China are the rising stars....
