  1. Re:I'll make a compromise on Ports for Porn - Using Firewalls to Block Porn · · Score: 1

    Just think what a better post this could have been if you'd just chosen a port other than "666". Doh!

  2. Re:Use TLDs on Ports for Porn - Using Firewalls to Block Porn · · Score: 1

    If you use the "xxx" TLD you need to inspect all the port 80 traffic that comes across the connection. If you move porn to it's own port you don't wind up inspeting other traffic.

  3. Re:The xxx tld on Ports for Porn - Using Firewalls to Block Porn · · Score: 1

    Not actually. Think about it for another couple of seconds. Using the "xxx" TLD you have to inspect all the port 80 traffic to find the traffic from "xxx". Using what this fellow has proposed all porn would be on it's own port number and you shouldn't have to inspect other port 80 traffic.

  4. Re:Logic? on Ports for Porn - Using Firewalls to Block Porn · · Score: 1

    As presented here on Slash this seems like a crazy idea but the technology exists today for a solution like this to be developed and easily deployed. Using an off the shelf content cache engine (from F5, Cisco, Nortel, etc,...) available from many companies you could apply filters (which already exist in WebSense or Symantec products) to redirect content from specific sites to an alternate port. You would need to configure your web browser to seek the content on that alternate port.

  5. Re:Anyone else concerned about Google? on Google Launches Web Traffic Analysis Service · · Score: 1

    How does this posting rate a 5 as "Insightful". In my opinion there is no insight here. The writer is asking a question (the same question several times actually). There is a reference to linked accounts; accounts which I and I think everyone else would assume would be linked. There was no mention of the kind of data that Google supposedly has.

    This post wasn't insightful.

  6. Re:Slander? on Korean Lab Worker Forced to Donate Her Own Eggs · · Score: 1

    Well said!

    The WSJ article dosn't say anything about a lab worker being "forced". The WSJ said says that a news report in Nature claims that at least one lab worker "donated".

    This item is a bad submission made worse by bad editing.

  7. Re:Misleading subject? on P2P Users More Likely to Cheat, Shoplift · · Score: 1

    I think that this is a report based on a bad survey. I would assert that it comes down to how you define an "illegal purpose". Right now the laws in place seem to protect a system of rights management that isn't in the best interests of either the artists or the people that want to enjoy the artist's work; but instead those who profit from the exchange. These same folks that profit from that exchange are unwilling to modify their systems of rights management to reflect changes in the technology that the user community is demonstrating they want to use. Just think of the revenues the recording industry would have if they were ahead of the curve when it came to these new technologies.

  8. What came first: Emoticons or Microsoft? on Microsoft Frowned at for Smiley Patent · · Score: 1

    It seems that while someone patent something that already exists; that patent claim could be challenged by someone who has any sort of proof that they had the idea first.

    I have to think that there will be challenges to this.

  9. RSS is a potential attack vector on Possible RSS Abuse in Longhorn · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In this instance RSS represents a particular attack vector (or a transport mnechanism) that an exploit (like a virus or a worm) can take to attack the host system.

    I think it is interesting that Microsoft is using a well known protocol in Longhorn, especially one that wasn't developed at Microsoft. If RSS in Longhorn is exploited then the folks their can point back to the open source RSS development community and look for help getting the vector or the exploit addressed.

    It will also be intersting to see the kind of impact that Microsoft might try to have over RSS development going forward.

  10. Re:I hate those questions on What is the Best Firewall for Servers? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but don't you REALLY hate those answers that totally ignore all but the first few words of what the original post asked? At least you were somewhat honest when you said "There is a single server license..." and tried to describe the cost (I figure that you were WAY low).

    If a terrorist group is able to build a dirty bomb that causes mass casualties why would they want a nuke?

    nortel.com => Canada

    If you look at the leading comapnies in Europe, South America, or the Far East; most handle domain registration through an American subsidary so that they can pay the US based registrar in US dollars. These companies are headquartered elsewhere.

    Is this all about where the registrars are located? Who is the largest registrar in Oz? Let me know who they are and if they are any good I'd be glad to use them.

    I'm from the USA and I don't think that .com equals America. I think that .com equals the Global Internet. Isn't it rather unfair to make such broad and sweeping statements? Aren't you guilty of what you justw wrote about?

    Careful BitHive,

    I think that some sppoks were just reading your message and doing a reverse lookup of your IP. In fact, they probably alrady have you under surviellance. Make sure your monitor is pointed away from the window and put a hot dog on top of it. If you notice that the hot dog is sizzling then they have their microwaves focused on you. Run for it!!! ;-)

    Have a nice day in spookville!

  15. Re:Civil vs criminal action on Toledo Uncappers Getting Shafted · · Score: 1

    wytcld,

    Re-read the article. In the case cited there the person on whom a warrant was served _did_ _not_ _have_ a contract. They simply plugged into cable that ran into the premise and then proceeded to hack the cable infrastructure. They hacked the Cisco routers in the cable providers network.

    This wasn't an uncapping case. This was clearly a theft of service.

  16. So how does one uncap a Motorola using a Cisco... on Toledo Uncappers Getting Shafted · · Score: 1

    So how does one uncap a Motorola cable modem using a Cisco configuration file? Well, they hack the Cisco router in the cable system, of course!

    You see thse folks didn't really "uncap" their own cable modem. They changed the configuration files on the Cisco routers in the providers network. So as you are being ultra paranoid as normal here on the dot; try and figure out how many other customers were affected by these idiots. And how many truck rolls that those other customers might of (or actually did) cause.

    I think you'll find that it is much easier to reach the $250,000 USD "let's invite the FBI to investigate number".

    And (again) why does this dolt refer to an officer serving a warrant as "gun wielding". If you actually think they had guns drawn while serving these warrants you should slowly move away from the computer and turn off the TV. Cause you are an idiot.

    Duh. I guess you missed the point here.
