I disagree. The issue was that people believed (correctly I would think) that it was their Deity-given right to invest after being invited to do so. The fact that we wrote free software is irrelevant to your argument, as is the company that had the IPO. Had Sam Adams gone through the same trouble when it had its IPO (who also invited customers to buy shares) I'm sure you would have seen the same complaints.
Turning off ICMP ping access to a host you want to keep hidden will usually ward off casual script kiddies. In this case, you're obscuring the fact that the machine exists at all.
However, this is always part of a larger overall scheme to keep intruders out.
My previous employer not only got these Y2K questionnaires, but each division of a larger company sent them to us (and the forms were different). And it wasn't any good that we put a Y2K statement on the web that read "We use Unix time(), we don't use dates. Forget about it.". Nope Nope. The lawyers wouldn't like that. Bleah.

Just a few weeks ago in Boston area. It was one of the best concerts I've been to in a while. Al did a lot of new stuff, followed by his classics. Many were done in costume (bedrock anthem, fat, etc) and in between songs, there were video clips from either his TV show, UHF, or references to him in mass media (Naked Gun, King Of the Hill, etc). Afterwards, he came out and signed his autograph for everyone that waited around (about 100-150 of us). Bass and keyboard player came out as well and chatted with us for a while. If you're a fan, definately check out if he'll be playing near you and go. Worth the trip.
Given NASA's tendancy to have a higher percentage of successfull manned launches than unmanned you're paying for the fact that it *will* make it into space.
Not really related to encryption, but I have a copy of The Onion's "Our Dumb Century". It's a collection of..uhm...front pages from the Onion for the past 100 years. On the front page for July 10, 1974, one article reads:
NSC Orders Freedom Of Information Act Sealed for 50 years.
What you said. Sure there's some great opportunity to make a quick buck. But there's also the fact that you own part of something that you directly or indirectly helped build for years. I'm going to call E-Trade today and try to requalify. After the IPO, I'm getting a printed share certificate and mount it somewhere.
But I got the invitation via snail mail the day before they were supposed to show up. I already had plans for that day that I could not change. *mutter*.
You never even watched South Park, did you. Or if you did, you never recognized the message that was throughout.
Thw whole point of the movie is that parents do not take adequate responsibility for their actions, or their kids. Had Stan's mom just said "these are the reasons why Terrence and Philip are bad for you" and outlined them, everything would have been solved. But the movie would have been about 10 minutes long and not that funny. But no, the "blame everyone but me" that seems rampant through the country is what made the movie so timely and funny.
The movie theater is trying to make a buck while enforcing the laws that let them operate. You may remember a month or two ago when Washington and the Movie Theater Lobby agreed on ID checks for R movies. Turns out South Park is the first movie that really falls under this since up till now, it's been the same ol boring "Notting Hill" and "Wild Wild West". Oh, and that Star Wars movie. As it is, the theaters barely make $1 off your $8.50 movie ticket. The rest goes to the movie house. That's why they're always willing to hand out free tix, and why the concession is always so darn expensive. Watching the movie in MOV or AVI format is not only (still) illegal, but won't really hit the theater all that much.
Jon, you are an insult to anyone with a technical bone in their body. All you're doing is providing fodder to RIAA and making those of us who actually own CDs and rip them for strictly personal use look bad. Thanks for nothing.
Why don't you tell me who owns The Open Group? Can you or can you not call a product UNIX without having to pay The Open Group (owned by SCO - see answer to above - who itself is 17% owned by MS) and pass their tests?
SCO owns the company that owns the UNIX name. AT&T sold it to Novell, and Novell sold it to SCO as part of the UNIXWARE selloff. If you want to call your product "UNIX" then you have to pay and pass the UNIX branding tests.
The reason that everyone says Linux is UNIX-LIKE is not because of its source code heritage (which has absolutely no bearing on how good it is), but based on the fact that the term UNIX is owned by SCO. If you want to say that you have a UNIX, then you have to pay SCO and pass all their pretty little tests. Somehow I don't think you can legally call *BSD UNIX either, not unless you paid for and passed all the tests.
I have one of these puppies on order at necx.com. Goes anyone have one and can comment on how well it works under X, and more importantly, what version of XF86 is needed?
Van Eck Phreaking only works within a few meters of where the monitor is. The monitor is the biggest broadcaster (nice broadband at about 10dB), so all you really need to do if you're that paranoid is get a few ferrite cores and clamp them on the video signal cable and to the power cable. Don't forget your aluminum foil hats.
For those of us less paranoid, make sure that your case is closed. See them little metal springy thingies that are along the seams? Don't lose them. They keep the PC in FCC spec. Don't leave any rear IO fillers out either. Not only is it bad for airflow, but it lets EM radiation out too.
Fatbrain has reviews, not only by readers, but also by the staff. Just happened to pick up the softcover of "applied crypto" after reading the "our review" and some reader reviews.
I wrote three books that wound up on Amazon. For each of the three, I cliked on the "I'm the author" button and wrote in a summary with a pointer to my web site and a way to contact me. Amazon never published this. So I tried again a few weeks later (this was about last summer), again, no comments from me were posted. However, a lot of the critical comments from readers somehow made it to the comments section.
I did submit comments to other online booksellers and they were posted within 24 hours. I'll take my business to fatbrain from now on.
Naah. Then Intel has a monopoly, and they wind up in the same boat as MS, especially after repeatedly cutting costs to beat the competitors. Intel isn't stupid; they'll keep AMD struggling for years - at least till AMD wakes up, smells the coffee, and kicks Intel in the *cough*.

I was at RedHat last week for training. A Custom install with no changes on a 6GB drive took 6 minutes, not counting formatting and whatnot.
If you used kickstart, you could probably do it within 8-10 minutes.
Pretty Fly for a Rabbi is my vote.
Tho Jerry Springer would be the second vote.

Or kicks up ad revenue.
"Our business plan is to have a site completely funded with ad revenues while having absolutely no content of any kind..."
Isn't this supposed to be the time where RedHat keeps their mouth shut 'till the IPO?

Anyone remember then? I have one of their machines from about 1995ish sitting right next to me. Working fairly well for a 486/100.

Course, there's another headline that reads:

The liquid net worth over $50k isn't it. I do know that for a fact.

It was in East Meadow and had a Cheesecake Factory restaurant in it (went there for dinner). It's near ABC housewares or something like that. HTH.
I saw one in the Dallas airport over a year ago. Last week I was on Long Island and saw one in a mall. It was $.08/min IIRC.
