On linux, I use iptables with some rate limiting rules on "NEW" connections to only allow x number of connections per y minutes from any host:
# setup recent state list /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --name SSHLIST --set
# hitcounter rule - send to DUMP table if matching /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --name SSHLIST \
--update --seconds 600 --hitcount 4 -j DUMP
That pretty much stops any brute force attacks dead after 3 connections.
Of course, you can set up prior permit rules to allow access from known hosts at any rate if need be, and if you users screw up logging in, it's easy to remove them from the block list if it's really urgent (they could also wait 10 minutes):
Not sure how this was modded offtopic...

Given advances in technology by that point, it should make a great time to put men on Mars.
This makes virtually no difference to the effort required to transfer an object to Mars from Earth. The orbit would be an elliptical transfer orbit (the most efficient), and is far more dependent on the position of Mars relative to Earth (hence "launch windows" for probes).
The 7ish million miles will make naff all difference - the point is actually when someone will stump up the cash, and when we figure out how to have an effective life support system (food, water, oxygen, shielding against radiation, etc, etc). The furthest humans have gone is ~250,000 miles - 43 and more million miles is, ahem, miles further.
There are things we have in place to ensure security and patient confidentiality. There are rules to go by. It's not the tools that pose a security risk -- it's the users. The software has a function that enables the physician to strip the image of any personal data that identifies the person, like their name, their date of birth etc. As long as that is done then it is a secure, anonymous system.
Good to see they have addressed the risk of patient data being leaked (iPod being nicked or left on the bus), but the article isn't entirely clear on what the procedure for stripping the patient data is - does the user have to do it themselves, or does the software force you to do it each time you upload an image?
Still a very cool use - though maybe not one that could be easily rolled out across all areas of medicine unless it needs virtually zero technical know-how...
("non-serious" I'm thinking you mean "serious"...)
Yeah - that's the one;)
LaCie and NEC will be happy to hook you up... For a price. The LaCie 319 and 321 are both LCDs with amazing colour (for an LCD) http://www.lacie.com/products/range.htm?id=10016 [lacie.com] if you are interested. They are damn expensive though, and it's their still image that's good, not their moving one. You can also look at NEC as LaCie doesn't actually make them, NEC just makes them to LaCie's specs so you can get the same screens from NEC in a different package.
Yup - very nice indeed. Unfortunately, my wallet's not that serious/non-serious about digital photography...:(
...when will manufacturers manage to produce LCD screens with more accurate colour renditioning?
If you're into digital photography in any kind of non-serious way and actually want to preview pictures the way they'll look when they print, then I believe that a CRT is still the best method of doing this.
A shame really, as I'd save a load of deskspace with an LCD screen...
I think it's a bit ambiguous.
It says:
"Email sales@drdos.com for additional information".
Then after listing the features, etc... it says:
"Email sales@drdos.com for price quote".
Is this a price quote for the source (if so, as so many others have said, it's a breach if they are charging for the source on top of the binaries - as well as for the other highlighted reasons), or is it a price quote for the binaries? (With source code to follow free...? Perhaps? Maybe.)
Regardless, not including a copy of the GPL is a violation if there is GPL software included.
Having looked at the DR-DOS pages, there's a link to "Source Code" (here).
"Email sales@drdos.com" regarding source code so the site says. However, if there's no GPL file included then it'd be a breach.
Additionally, from TFA, it'd be interesting to see whether the distribution breaks the terms of the two shareware products that have apparently been included. (Ranish Partition Manager 2.44 & PKZIP 2.04g by PKWARE)
* Ability to set different alarms for Monday-Friday and Sat-Sun
* Multiple alarms, so I can get up early and my parter can sleep in until the second alarm for her goes off
* Digital tuning (AM/FM) and volume control
* Ability to match a station/volume to a function: i.e. go to sleep with quiet AM radio and wake up to loud FM radio
cron + a few small shell scripts? Stick it in a small form factor PC or hide the box in a cupboard and have a small 7" LCD display or something near the bed (plus a wireless mouse/keyboard). Set it to boot at a given time using the BIOS wakeup feature, and the alarm sequence to follow out of the boot sequence. Pickup all the radio stations via broadband (no more nasty AM reception issues).
Of course, the excuse: "Sorry I'm late but my kernel panicked on boot" would be, ahem, original.
To clarify:
" And this has what to do with a vulnerability in Firefox exactly? "
refers to the parent post.
Looks like the quoting I managed to remove the quote from my post.
Agreed - a DoS certainly is a vuln.

Upon RTFA, the exploit appears to be a one-liner - is that it....?!?!
(And, no, I'm not going to run it to find out thank you very much.)

You can playback mp4's from memory stick - just not at full resolution. you have to play back at reduced resolution (which you can then stretch to full screen if you so wish).
Probably an attempt to a) mitigate piracy on the console by reducing the ability to playback off MSduos (though if you want to pirate a dvd, you'd watch it on something bigger than a psp surely?) and b) Persuade people to buy more UMD movies.
Personally, I don't care too much if isn't at a huge resolution - the screen is tiny anyway - it just offers portability if I really want it, along with the option of having UMD movies if I so wish (as well as the games, photo slideshow, web browser, etc, etc).
If you want a DVD player, you can pick up portable ones fairly cheap nowadays, and you don't have to go through the hoops to rip, re-encode and transfer.
...you can claim that the milky way is not a spiral, and then go on to say it could be a barred spiral... A barred spiral is a spiral with a bar (usually) through the centre!
Now if you'd said the Milky Way is an elliptical or irregular, then it'd be a different matter (and against the current scientific data that indicates otherwise).
What's interesting is the 45 degree tilt claim - I think that could be fairly rare (though probably not unsurprising given the amount of gravitational interaction our galaxy has with its numerous companions, some of which it is currently consuming...). However, I am not a galactic dynamicist...
Though it may be a dupe, things do change in a year - new companies starting, companies going bust, pricing/product line changes and so on.
I used to buy from Scan (in the UK) and I used to think they offered some good deals, but nowadays I don't think they are necessarily the best deal out there. Ebuyer (for example) is usually cheaper, and has less delivery costs, but it takes longer to arrive.
I once worked in a department where we tested laptop based software for a large insurance company. One of my collegues spilt his mulligatawny soup he was having mid-morning all over a poor little IBM T21.
Luckily, the soup was really thick so turning the thing upside down was good enough to prevent it running into the innards of the laptop.
Unfortunately, it was really hard to clean off (remove all the keys...) and there was some stuff that had obviously got somewhere warm inside the laptop as after a bit of use, the laptop started circulating air that smelt of stale curry...
Not quite as bad was the incident with the exploding can of irn-bru. Super sticky goop, but at least not quite as smelly...
