University Network admins are typically not the brightest bunch in the world. Going on anecdotal evidence (The best kind, according to DogBert:-) These are the people would *do* think the "internet" is webbrowsing. That ICMP, and UDP *ARE* depricated protocols. That moving away from *nix in favour of Windows (usually with Netware authentation) is a good idea.
Admittedly they have a limited budget, and they will be sick of the amount of net-savvy students that download Gigabytes of CRAP a day just because they're on a "Fat Pipe".
Just don't get me started on people at work using BT to download crap, too. Working over a VPN, and talking over VoIP while the shared 2M (with another company) is being constantly hammered is no fun either.
(Apologies if you're a Uni net admin that actually *has* a clue)
Let me get this straight. Someone doesn't want to sell it's own country's resources to the US, and you claim that it's grounds to go to war? That sounds remarkably like bullying to me.
Err...
And America hasn't tried to bully Iraq to give up it's WMD, and invaded when it couldn't get its own way?
Hasn't it blocked the French and Russian companies from helping rebuild Iraq because they didn't agree with the US ? ... Sounds like bullying to me
Ever heard of diplomacy, and actually having to play nicely with others (say please and thank you instead of "Give me or else")?
GWB clearly hasn't.
Personally, I pay taxes to the government to make sure education, sanitation, medical care etc. are up to a reasonable standard..
You think ? Personally I think it mostly goes to politicians cronies, economic migrants, lazy bastards who can't be arsed to get a job, and to employ countless civil servants that work from 9:30 to 4:00 (10:00 to 4:00 on wednesdays) who don't give a flying fsck about accuracy because they have a nice safe job.
"Being prepared" is having a solid defence, with retaliation scenarios drawn up. Not drawing up plans to go to war, causing international incidents. That would cost a lot more than the taxes you pay..
Yes, Iraq is problably costing more than you know. However I do concede that strategists in the government do try to cover every possible scenario imaginable.
What a dangerous idea. Any loss of (driver controlled) power is just as dangerous as, say, shooting out tires or using those tire bursting devices.
The questions that should be asked are WHY do the police think they need this control over other peoples cars? Instead of going after motorists, maybe the Sussex Police should be concentrating on Robbery (up by a third)
What gives for these non-elected morons think they are trying to limit the liberties of normal citizens?
This country is going mad. Not quite so mad as the USA, but does anyone know of a non-idiotic state that we all could goto ?
But you can't, because "big and heavy" won't get off the ground
The Russians appear to have to have done very well with their "big and heavy" well engineered rockets, planes etc.
They didn't have access to the more exotic materials of the west in the cold war, so had to make do with conventional metals, etc.
Instead they (or at least my understanding of various documentries+articles I've seen/read) concentrated in getting the science right, and maximising the important things that'll get the craft moving, like uber-efficient engines. Apparently theres is a warehouse holding some very efficient rocket motors... I forget the technical details (hey its 4am ffs) but isn't that what the x-prize is supposedly all about?
Seriously, I'm quite sick of our Western 'we-know-better' attitude to the rest of the world.
I can't wait for the Iraqis to be self governing and free of sanctions again.
And whats all this bollocks about easing Iraqs debt ? The USA cause much of the mess in Iraq in the first place, and tbh, they should fork out all costs to rebuild it. Preferably with an elected leader determining its fate, not some mate of DuhbleYa. Now theres a tyrannical dictator if there was one.
Slashdot Mirror
Worst Insult Ever!
As someone else posted, one of the other problems is ISPs allowing spoofed packets out of their networks ... again due to lazyness.
:)
MD5 isn't that hard for a BGP-capable device to generate
The ultimate problem though is ISPs not filtering packet source addresses
Abso-fucking-lutly.
Maybe thats what all the knocking was about earlier.
TCP Vuln is a well known attack, way before '98.
MD5 authenticated BGP Sessions have been around for ages, it's just *lazyness* of peering vendors to implement it.
Ok, now we *know* you're lying !
Slashdotters actually RTFA before posting?
You jest Sir!
Let's not forget that ...

You mean In Your Rectum ?
So if Joe blogs makes a copy (reproduction) of a Program/ISO/Audio track, then that copy is no longer a copyrightable work ?
So all your (cough) "backup" (cough) copies are completly legal, and are not held under copyright law?
why when Windows NT4 (I think 2k and above only run on x86 - I think) can do that? true it wont run on your crappy iMac, but it runs on RS/6000s
like this one
Darl himself made the offer!

For one, I welcome our new martian overlords, because in North Africa, you don't goto Mars, Mars comes to you!

Main screen turn on!
You could always put the word "NOT" on the back
Hell, I'd might even buy one !

Thinking out of the box.
No, mores the pity.
Nice thought though, cheered me up no end.

It's nearly 4am, and I'm just so sick of it all.
*engages foil hat*
Hopefully not.
I'd buy *THAT* for a Dollar!
And by the time IBM have finsihed with SCO, thats all the stock is going to be worth, tbh.
can't it be both ? ;)
