  1. UNIX Audit Tools on Sarbanes-Oxley Costs Exceed Benefits · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have quite a bit of experience with Sarbanes-Oxley and UNIX compliance. One weak area is auditing root and shared account access. Generally the developers know the application account's password (like oracle or db2) and it's really hard to audit who did what. I created the tool Enterprise Audit Shell (EAS) which centrally logs shell access and sessions in an enterprise environment. Sessions can be snooped in real-time or played back at a later time. Each session is digitally signed and transmitted via OpenSSL. Project Site http://sourceforge.net/projects/eash Support Forum http://eas.strchr.net/

  2. Re:HDTV, and how I helped MS lose money on Run Windows MCE Applications on Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    Just imagine if you didn't buy any Xbox360s, that would be a 100% loss for microsoft. You're just helping them recuperate their losses.

  3. Re:My Mail is Delivered? on Yahoo! Mail Superior to Gmail ? · · Score: 1

    Hey calm down there, buddy! I'm pretty happy that I receive my mail. I have never received one false positive with GMail. Using other services and spam filtering I would always have to dig through my "spam" folder looking for a missed message. Hope that clears things up.

  4. Re:invitation only? on Yahoo! Mail Superior to Gmail ? · · Score: 1

    If you have a cellphone in the U.S.A. you can submit your cellphone number and GMail will send you an invitation.

  5. GMail gives me what I always wanted on Yahoo! Mail Superior to Gmail ? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    but no one else delivered.

    * A nice user interface that is very responsive.
    * Web-based.
    * Auto-complete/tab-completion of email addresses.
    * Ability to search my email.
    * Advanced sorting and rules. I can place my mail subscriptions into different labels and archive them for later.
    * Reliability. Gmail is much more reliable than previous hosts. My mail is delivered and I receive my mail.
    * Group email threads together.
    * Mail filters.
    * vi-like keyboard shortcuts.

  6. Show them the command-line on Fun and Informative Way to Introduce Open Source? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Kill all of your processes.
    $ ps -ef|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill

    Edit a file and delete the first and last line.
    $ vi
    1GddGdd:wq!

    Find out what's filling up your home directory.
    $ du -k|sort -rn|head

    Who has access to the computer?
    # cat /etc/passwd|cut -d: -f1,3

    Add commas to numerical strings
    sed -e :a -e 's/\(.*[0-9]\)\([0-9]\{3\}\)/\1,\2/;ta'

  7. regex on Learning Perl, 4th Ed. · · Score: 3, Informative

    Example makes no sense.

    $ echo "I'm talking about the cartoon with Fred and Wilma!" | perl -pe 's#(.*)#$1#g;'
    I'm talking about the cartoon with Fred and Wilma!
    $ echo "I thought you said Fred and Velma, not Wilma" | perl -pe 's#(.*?)#$1#g;';
    I thought you said Fred and Velma, not Wilma

  8. Why all the bashing? on Form Filling Through Office 12 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Microsoft is using an open and robust format (XML) for their office documents - what's wrong with that? Now projects like OpenOffice have an easier time importing and exporting documents. The entire key is portability. (text also compresses better than .doc files)

  9. Cellphone iTunes? on Apple to Become Wireless Provider? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who actually listens to music on their cellphone anyway? When's the last time a company built a cellphone just for the purpose of making and receiving calls?

  10. Privacy on Court Rules GIS Data Can't Be Kept Secret · · Score: 0

    I wouldn't want my name, address and other "public" information broadcasted and readily available to people I do not know or trust. If it's public information, that's fine - there should fee when someone wants to access it. That way there is a paper trail that links who looked at what.

  11. Wider audience? on AOL Hopes to Change Image With Services · · Score: 0, Troll

    I wear a size XXXXL you insensitive clod!

  12. Just another case of on LA Times Pulls Wikitorial, Blames Slashdot · · Score: 0

    one bad apple spoils the bunch.

  13. Just have people sign a wavier on Utah Considers Forcing ISPs to Filter Content · · Score: 1

    It's much easier to sign a wavier stating "I understand there is bad stuff on the Internet" rather than trying to filter content. This can also be applied to companies that filter content as well. Otherwise it's too easy to be setup for a law suit when someone finds something on the Internet that offends them. Afterall the content is supposed to be filtered and someone has to be at fault.

  14. Re:Deserved it on Guilty Plea in AOL Engineer's Address Theft Case · · Score: 1

    Isn't there a law stating if the person cannot afford the fine, the fine has to be lowered or dropped? For instance how could you fine a homeless person $100 for trespassing?

  15. Re:Interstate? on Guilty Plea in AOL Engineer's Address Theft Case · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Probably on a CD in his briefcase. I doubt he emailed the screennames and the casino operator payed him via PayPal.

  16. Deserved it on Guilty Plea in AOL Engineer's Address Theft Case · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do the crime, pay the time.

    I'm not sure how he's going to pay $200k+ though.

  17. Cheap VOIP Phonecard on How Do You Make International Calls? · · Score: 1

    http://www.pinzoo.com/

    I've been using this service for about 2 years. I call Thailand every night for about 4.8 cents a minute. All of the other providers are about 17 to 20 cents a minute -- complete rip off.

    Oh yeah if you sign-up - refer me because I sure could use the extra phonecard. I spent $3000 last year.

    Judging from past experiences, does Lucas know the difference?
