Prosecutors have argued that the bail is appropriate because, if released, Childs could cause damage to San Francisco's network.
This oddly sounds like crap that brought up in Kevin Mitnick's trial.
My guess is the DA knows he's fscked and is grasping at straws. I wouldn't be surprised once the last charge is dropped, Childs counter sues for being charged, arrested, and in jail.
The MX records for democrats.org point to 208.69.4.29, 208.69.4.30, and 208.69.4.31 and the MX records for dnc.org point to 72.35.23.4 and 216.129.90.46. As of this posting, Spamhaus doesn't have those blacklisted.
I don't think you RTA. It states that many of the analogue stations available on cable are being moved to encrypted QAM. That card is only good for watching old analogue NTSC, broadcast ATSC, and ClearQAM (i.e. not encrypted). So according to the article, sooner or later that card will only be useful for the local only stations that cable companies must do in ClearQAM or stations that are broadcasted over the air. It really depends on what shows you watch to determine if just that card will work for you.
So what's the deal with NS's usage of kolmic.com? Imagine my CTO's surprise when our content filter blocked one of our subsidiary's NS parked domains because of an iframe of kolmic.com with a nice trojan payload. Some googling revealed this isn't an isolated case and NS has been doing some advertising with them for a while.
walmass is correct. This would only be a SOX issue IF they didn't have separate people/groups for development, QA, implementer, and production support/administration. This is more of a PCI-DSS issue which must be complied with if there is going to be any handling and especially storage of card numbers.
For those that don't know and didn't want to RTFL, it will be available to MSDN subscribers on August 6th as well. If your company didn't pony up for one of the subscriptions, but does have Volume Licenses for Windows with a current Software Assurance, it will be available on August 7th.
I would recommend using ZFS for your software RAID. It's a completely different approach to file systems, but it's great. I even created a RAID5 setup within ZFS, wiped the OS that was on another disk, reinstalled the OS (don't ask), and it only took two simple commands to have my ZFS RAID online and running.
I tried vista on a test box at work and I got it to blue screen quite quickly - just logged in and out a few times, dunno what happened. I seem to have a knack of crashing or hanging stuff. When the first imacs came out (the colourful ones), I went to an apple shop and checked a demo unit out, and for some reason it hung on me. I don't think I did anything really unusual. Just clicked about using stuff. I also crashed a demo unit Atari ST. I've crashed someone's Forth webserver on my first test...
Per that paragraph, I think you might have the Gabriel Effect.
I'd say pretty much any PBX can do this. The Avaya PBX I administrate does this all day long and I'd imagine Asterisk could do it as well. IIRC it's the PBX that sends the CallerID and not the phone company; they just relay it.
A good example of spoofing are toll free numbers. All the number is a soft-link or shortcut to the real number. In order to give out the toll free number instead, the PBX has to tell the phone company the CallerID is the toll free number and not the real number. This is by design and there are a number of legitimate uses for this, however these bastards are abusing it.
My post was merely a reply to AC's questions. Yes, I am suggesting that OpenBSD could be a replacement for Windows given a few conditions. However, my argument for OpenBSD being a replacement for Windows could be made for most any other OS that can support a GUI.
I don't think you completely took in all of my post though. OpenBSD isn't easy to get setup for most people; neither are many other OSs. Windows can be just as difficult for many people too. In my post I stated that they could learn how to set it up, have someone else do it, or perhaps a more user friendly fork/distro would come along. This applies to upgrades as well.
The only difficulty I've had with upgrading OpenBSD was when they switched to ELF; the upgrade path was a bit more involved. Other than that I haven't had many issues with upgrades.
They use to carry pr0n. My first membership was back in 2001 and I do recall seeing some pr0n and hentai titles. These days they don't carry that stuff anymore and there are other similar services that have filled that market.
Please explain the "capabilities" of OpenBSD that are "affected" by being "locked down". Also, please define the "important things that Vista users take for granted" which OpenBSD doesn't have?
Out of the box OpenBSD doesn't do much, but that's sort of the point. When you install OpenBSD, all you get is the base OS, a shell, and basic management utilities. You're not given crap that you may or may not need; this allows you the option to decide what you do in fact need.
Need a GUI? Install X and favorite GUI. Need web browser? Install favorite browser. Etcetera.
It's possible to get OpenBSD to the point of having all the bells and whistles a particular Linux distro would have on the base install. It's also possible to get OpenBSD to the point that the average user would be quite happy.
This is what I've found most users need: -Pretty GUI -Web browser with Flash and JavaScript support -Productivity suite (word processor, spreadsheet app, etc.) -Video player -Music player -Photo management and basic manipulation -Cheesy game(s) when they're super bored. -Ease of use
This can be done with OpenBSD. The ease of use just isn't there when installing for the average user. However, if the average user took the time to learn, had someone else do it, or some group sets up a distro or fork like what PC-BSD did, ease of use can be achieved.
There's always a compromise when it comes to security. Be thankful that when it comes to Operating Systems, it doesn't mean giving up your Freedom.
I have to agree with you. Though I don't recall it being $2billion, more like $200billion. WTF I want to know is why they need more money when we gave them a metric butt load of money with legislation passed 13 years ago with the 1996 Telecommunications Act? Probably lining their pockets.
Or one could just run the whole OS off of a USB stick. I rebuilt my home server with a USB stick attached to the motherboard. I don't see a speed difference booting FreeBSD from the stick. Editing files only causes a small delay, 1 second. I don't change much on it. Only my files (music, movies, photos, etc.) are stored on HDDs on a ZFS RAID-Z array in the server.
Here's another for OTRS. For a FOSS ticket system, it's the best one with LDAP and AD support. The interface is a bit cumbersome and some of its quirks take a little getting use to; however, I haven't found a pay ticket system that wasn't like this. There are a couple of features that it's missing, however the only ticket systems I've found to have those couple of "nice" features cost $50,000+. The interface is quite basic/fugly with the Courier font used almost everywhere, but this can be remedied with creating a new skin template. Overall OTRS worked fine for the 120 employee company I work for.
The only reason we stopped using it was we ran into a quirk that made its way to the C-level executives. Apparently there is a limitation as to the size of the e-mail it's going to download and process; OTRS just left the oversized e-mail and a couple of other standard sized (few kb) in the POP3 account and we never new it. Obviously there are things we could of, maybe should have done to check on it. This prompted us to move towards a pay setup where we have someone who we can call up and yell at and also make feature requests that, if reasonable, get put in within a year time frame. I wouldn't expect that from FOSS unless I had my own developers actively writing and contributing to the project.
If you're in need of a free ticket system with LDAP integration, I would suggest OTRS and I'd probably use it again if circumstances required.
I don't think you understand how SSH tunneling works. One can essentially setup a VPN with SSH tunneling. SSH to the US located system and with tunneling all of your traffic is routed through it thus presenting a source IP that's in the US to iTunes.
To answer you question: First, we're on day three of him being in office; day two if you drop the first day since it's hard to get anything done on a day like that. Second, a bill needs to be introduced and passed in Congress before the President can sign it into law.
Personally I'm ready for all the BS from the past 16 years to go away. I hope that Obama does all of the stuff he said he'd do that I liked and none of the stuff that concerned me. What I want is less government, my constitutional freedoms back, repeal the 16th amendment, and the FairTax bill passed.
Why use it immediately? Upon average the cards have an expiration that's two years. I have a card with an expiration of three years. Let them make 100s of transactions first. Don't use the cards captured at the same place all at the same time. Make cross referencing more difficult. Even then, don't use the stolen cards where it can be tracked back to you.
I'm not a criminal, but am in the credit card processing industry and it's not rocket science. At any rate it's much easier to do a chargeback to the merchant where the fraudulent transaction took place than to take transaction reports from two or more cards and do cross referencing.
That means nothing when the device that accepts the chip and the PIN input is compromised. Some of those readers were compromised with using a paperclip to tap one of the links on the PCB board to sniff the information. The modification could be done and from the outside it looks exactly as a non-compromised unit.
I know of some PIN keypads and even swipe card readers with PIN pads that transmit the data unencrypted to the actual card terminal. All sorts of things could be done and the card holder wouldn't be able to tell.
With Chip and PIN the banks take the stance that the cardholder was negligent since the PIN was used and the PIN is infallible. In fact someone using this type of method with even pulling a black cloth over the PIN pad to hide the input from everyone can still be ripped off since the pad itself isn't secure.
Point is no method is 100% secure unless you have no money, don't buy anything, and don't own anything to barter with.
Trying to get it in Firefox even on Windows didn't work for me. I didn't want to spend a lot of time messing with it, so I used IE and the forcefed Akamai-whatever download utility. Maybe it's coincidence, IE7 has been unstable since I installed that download util. I have to run IE7 without add-ons enabled just for it to work.
I'll need to do some Googleing since there's no listing for it in the add-ons menu or Programs and Feature. PITA.
