Now, those ancient full height hard drives around my neck (20 MB!! had to wear a truss) is always hard and ready to perform. It just takes a lot of time and cursing to get it to work as advertised:)
"Wake up... Time to die!"
which was spoken by Leon (Brion James) when he was beating the crap out of Deckard in the street after he (Deckard) had shot Zhora.
Jesus and Moses are out golfing. This is the first time for Jesus. Jesus says he's watched Jack Nicklaus do it, and it can't be that hard. They both go Earth and go anonymously to a local golf course.
Well, he continually slices and hooks and skulls the ball. He keeps getting more and more frustrated, all the time muttering "If Jack Nicklaus can do this, so can I..." Finally, he hits a particularly bad drive in a water hazard. "My Dad Damnit!!!" He exclaims, "I am NOT taking a drop" and he strides out over the water to the where the ball went in.
Just then a golfer from the foursome behind them says to Moses, "Who does he think he is, Jesus Christ?"
To which Moses replies, "No, he thinks he's Jack Nicklaus"
Try the veal folks, I'll be here all week, and don't forget to tip your waitperson!
There's also JavaScript overlay on the address bar. Put the "spoofed" address in an overlay that fits over the legitimate one. Same thing with the "padlock" for SSL.
they should be punished for it, too, because they probably even knew it was illegal. But, they didn't engineer the idea, and so they are merely accessories to the real crime
Whether they knew it was illegal or not is irrelevant. And, since they carried out the act, they are NOT accessories.
If I hire someone to commit murder, the person who actually pulls the trigger is the murderer - not the accessory. As the one who hired the murderer, I am the accessory even if I planned it down to the last detail. In addition, I would also be charged with conspiracy-to-commit-murder.
Aren't you glad the cop who writes you the ticket for that doesn't equate you with a rapist or torturer
Also, your argument equating a speeding ticket to rape or torture is a specious argument. The original comment was not trying to equate the crimes. It was only pointing out that simply because someone is obeying orders it does not absolve that person from personal responsibility.
Personally, I think the "Just Following Orders" defense would not apply here anyway. They began the D-DoS before it was a boss/employee relationship. I think it would be more along the lines of a contract killer (In terms of methodolgy - NOT in terms of the severity of the crime)
We have a DEK (Database Encyption Key) that we use encrypt fields in a table with sensitive information. 3DES for industry compliance, but the problems arises - how can you store the key so stuff can be encrypted/decrypted on the fly?
Well, we also have a KEK (Key Encryption Key) which encrypts the DEK. The encrypted DEK is stored in that database's table. The KEK is embedded into the system which unencrypt/decrypt the DEK. Typically this is a some sort of hardware module (with formidable physical security features - for instance if you try to physically remove the system from the rack without the correct physical keys it will wipe itself)
There are several hardware modules out there that will do this. Atalla comes to mind. Very, very fast (we also use them for ATMs) because that is all they do. They store a master key and encrypt/decrypt other keys against that.
Encyption is not a panacea. You need very rigid controls for the plain text keys - entered in halves by different Security Officers, stored in seperate safes, etc. You also need very strong authentication to define who can even access the database (SecureID, Vasco, etc..). You can even base what gets decrypted based on authentication (multiple DEKs). I'm not even taking into account network level security (that's where kerberos comes in).
The above is combersome and time consuming and at times difficult to implement. You need to do a Risk Assessment. How much is my data worth? How much would a loss cost me (real dollars, revenue, reputation)? The more its worth, the more effort needs to be taken to safeguard. At the very least, you should have an enterprise-wide policy with graduating levels based on the sesitivity of what you need to protect.
Ulitmately, nothing is completely protected, but you can make it extremely expensive for the unauthorized to retreive the data (computing costs exceed the benefit)
I don't know about YOU, but this is in regard to the WindowsCE embedded OS - not the software that runs on top of it. Most customers of this toolkit will be looking to improve or customize the WinCE embedded OS, not create a nifty new address book. I would image the VAST majority that would be interested in this would be companies with a budget to easily absorb this cost.
I notice you've written 13 posts in a four hour period (so far). Very productive! Posting is a much better use of your time than a team-building excercise (such as a birthday decoration prank), or even work...

Shouln't that be "Security tools don't kill systems, script kiddies do"? Although I do like sound of it when turned back on the original gun analogy...
"A device created to strike a primer, causing a chemical reaction to propel a projectile (typically lead) at high velocity through a rifled cylinder, striking flesh and/or bone, and creating a high probability of systemic failure due to hydrostatic shock doesn't kill, people do."
All of the results of doubling are even - and when those are summed the final result is even - UNTIL YOU ADD THE STARTING NUMBER which is 1. Oops! Odd number!

Here's your consolation prize - A text on remedial math.
Are you sure you're not confusing "Dell" with "Disney"?
Because that's what happened to Eisner at Disney. Except he got a no-confidence from the shareholders (40+% abstained). He was still elected by default because no one ran against him. The Disney board decided to split the positions with seperate people as Chairman and CEO. Eisner is still the CEO (because he has that position contractually until 2006) and Mitchell is now the Chairman.
Or is it because they both start with the letter "D"? I'm sure that's what confused you...:)
What don't you people get about the word endangerment
When Michael Jackson dangled his kid over a balcony, the kid wasn't hurt... but that was still endangerment. Endangerment is not that something bad happens. It means the probability of something bad happenning is raised to unacceptable levels.
This asshat created an environment where someone's life could have been in grave peril if emergency services where responding to "MSN TV in distress" (and 911 always dispatches when no-one talks to them) instead of being available for a truly life-threatening emergency.
I am all for this guy rotting for quite a while. I have no tolerence for people who endanger public safety in a fit of pique.
Have you been paying attention at all?
Or do you just post without RTFA? (forgot - of course you do, it is/. after all)
They are invoking clause 4 of the GPL (read #5 as well). They are not doing this just because they don't like them. They are doing it because SCO has said the GPL doesn't apply to them. Since they are in violation of the GPL, they CANNOT modify or distribute NMAP.
That does NOT mean they cannot use it. It means they cannot include it (or any modified version) in their offering of whatever (UNIXWare, Linux, etc..)

Nope.

How Americans can put up with his bullshit is beyond me
Probably the same way people put up with political bullshit on Slashdot.
They either ignore it or have a knee-jerk reaction.
I believe the argument they are trying to use is lost revenue. By distributing the work, you are depriving the label/artist of a potential sale.
Speaking doing f'ing work...

Oh no! Open Office doesn't install fonts for you! The horror!
:)
Yes, the onus of putting TT fonts in ~/.fonts... Might as well move back to MS, its obviously unusable
Seriously, I have over 50 fonts avail. to me in OpenOffice.
Wow! That one kinda ran away with you!
