you know, if the sci-fi script writers listened to the slashdot crowd, there would never be another (decent) sci-fi show.
jeez, cut down on the bitching! --- the vulcan ears are not the right pointiness, too much soft porn (and that's coming from a crowd of which i'm sure 90% have the fake nudie jpeg of Aki Ross stashed somewhere in the depths of their hard drives), silly names for weapons, the Enterprise doesn't look right (who are you to judge?), the theme song sucks (compose a better one, fsckers).... Some are bitching about the plot... pardon the cliche - but you're judging a book by it's cover..
Would you rather watch Buffy or SU2?.. come on, show some enthusiasm!
When the classic Star Trek came out, everyone shit their pants, even though the plot and the visuals left a bit more to be desired (from a modern point of view)...
Give this one a chance without ripping it apart frame by frame. I have to admit the fact that there are not that many interesting sci-fi shows on TV anymore. DS9, B5 and the like seem to revolve around silly space politics, kind of resembling our modern life.
if you don't like the show, then go back to watching your Hello Kitty vs. Power Rangers bullshit on the cartoon network.
then, make a perl or php script of whatever that does a regular expression match in $REQUEST_URI variable (looking for cmd.exe) and adds an iptables or ipchains entry for $REMOTE_HOST variable.
that way at least you won't get repeat attacks from the same host and save some bandwidth:)
What would a user rather have -- a free server that does plain webserving, or a moderately priced one that does webserving plus e-commerce? Faced with such an adversary, does a plain webserver stand a chance, much less one that is virtually stagnant? True, the dramatic drop in Apache's market share comes from just two large ISPs, but will they be the only ones to switch?
Not to mention the fact that an experienced admin can administer an enterprise-level server much more efficiently from a shell. How about remote control? How much bandwidth does an SSH connection use in comparison with RDP?
If you can see past the FUD and misinformation and shotty benchmarks, you will notice that high product prices doesn't mean high quality.
Apache hasn't introduced any significant user features in two years. (For example, has Apache even managed to deliver a standard GUI configuration tool in all this time?)
Yes and? When was the last time you heard of a major security flaw plaguing Apache? I wanna slap you people!

don't you think the "russian=communist" stereotype is a bit old?;)
Recently acuired a Ricoh RDC-5300.... The picture quality is superb, there is no RGB "noise" like on a lot of cameras, it does not compress the pictures too much so they look very clear. It is very light-sensitive and can produce bright pictures with barely any light (works like an analog, basically by keeping the shutter open longer). Does not need TWAIN drivers - the built-in memory and the SmartMedia slots act like filesystems connected via USB.
Kodak DC-290 is also a great camera, but much more expensive...
Oh no, poor little garage band.

Ok, so they're trying to say that Metallica band members are so goddamn broke that their fans had to devise a charity to help them? Umm, I dont think so... It is a well known fact that celebrities of that class could raise all kinds of money... e.g. commercial product endorsement. it would be cute to see Lars advertising Johnson & Johnson's new "Metallic" baby powder;)
Besides, Metallica albums are still sold at a decent rate, and the band members are getting a good chunk of the profits...
All the band members are quite well off. I'm sure none of them are even close to starving, and the fact that they complain about losing so much because of music pirating on the net just proves how commercial the band has become. How much money is enough? I'm sure they still have plenty to not have to work for the rest of their lives.
If the fans had any common sense, they would encourage others to buy the damn albums, not to give away their fscking credit card numbers.
well then... I am aware of who's responsibility it is to fix a mail server. however, blacklisting someone and only telling them _afterwards_ is bad politics. So is snooping through someone's network. Privacy, eh?
It's hard to believe that however proprietary the Iridium sat network is, nobody is interested in taking it over and use it for something more viable. I bet you could push gigabits through the damn things....
and damn, why not thrust them towards the moon so they won't burn up in atmospheric layers? maybe some day NASA will send a space janitor craft to pick up the leftovers.
oh and by the way - gullible? poverty stricken? don't confuse russians with the US government...;)
if your dog was too loud, and your neighbor shot your dog in the ass because of that, without asking you to shut the damn thing up first, would that rule? I didn't think so. If I were ORBS, I'd at least notify a potential open relay owner about the problem before blacklisting them... Or, maybe if the owner or a mail relay is not able to fix it himself, provide him with a pointer in the right direction.... So I say, as of right now, ORBS sucks. Maybe one day they will get their heads out of their asses.
You have a valid point. however, we keep logs of everything, including mail transfers for about a year back. Sendmail was running on the web server because it was "required" by one of the other daemons... It's BSDI, sue me... The orbs attack happened just before the "fixed" sendmail 8.9 came out. The logs did not show any mail activity except for orbs.org probes on port 25...
Ok, great - so AOL is on the ORBS list. However, ORBS has been known in the past to do things that they should be smacked on the ass for. They have portscanned our network once - 96 class C's!! They probed one machine which was a virtual web server running an older version of sendmail, and came up with several hundred "open mail relays" not knowing that: 1. All of the IP's were the same machine, and it has_never_ been used for SPAM. It's a web server, and it doesn't do mail. Get it? *smack* 2. This kind of network intrusion is an invitation for an ass kicking. It would be nice that at least they would have said something... The move was definetey unethical. btw... ORBS used to be based in Canada. Then they pissed some pople off and had to relocate to New Zealand. har har. Anyhow, it is nice to know that someone out there is an active anti-spamer, but hey, using brute force will only make people angry. It definetely won't help solving the spam issues... And for AOL... As long as they provide a cheap, unreliable, insecure access to the net, they will be a spammer heaven. Frankly, I don't think they give a shit about ORBS. They will sue the living shit out of everyone and their dogs, and pay whatever the price is to get their way.
It appears that the kernel source is available for TiVo - you can get it here . Kickass. Now you can have your own TiVo too - of course you'd have to let loose of your PC... Or hell, multiboot! Leave home for the weekend, and put your oh-so-expensive PC into TiVo mode... Now lessee if I can compile it on Amiga Linux *g*
This box could definetely use another feature - Remote programming and scheduling. It already has a modem - why not enable dial-in capabilities? Say, you're in hawaii and your unit is somewhere in upper michigan... And you forgot to program the darn thing to record your favorite show!
Just think how cool it would be to have a terminal window open to your VCR...
IDE, even with all the new ATA/66 performance improvements, is still not quite up to par with SCSI. SCSI devices tend to use considerably less CPU time, since so much more is done on a hardware level.
SCSI has purposes other than mass storage. Because of low overhead and much wider bandwidth it can be used for just about anything... There are even ways to network computers together using SCSI (not very practical, but possible:)
Another thing that IDE lacks is portability - You can't hook up any external devices to your IDE bus unless you have a 3-foot IDE cable hanging off the back of your PC making it look even more ghastly... Plus, even the most advanced dual IDE controller still only allows you to hook up 4 devices simultaneously.
yet another issue, even though it applies mostly to the x86 family of computers, is the fact that you need a separate, non-sharable IRQ for every IDE channel. That, IMO, is a flaw, considering that PC's have so few precious IRQ's available...
The only serious advantage of IDE over SCSI is the cost. Although, finding a cheap IDE drive that can last for a while is rather difficult... *cough*...fujitsu...jts...*cough*
WD is most likely quitting the SCSI storage business because they can't keep up with the competition in speed and reliability... That might be a good thing, cause now they can spend a few extra R&D dollars to figure out why the damn Caviars make that deadly clanking noise and quit after only a few months:)
it is also possible to forward port 6001 from the firewall box to the port 6000 on a box behind the firewall... that way you can set your DISPLAY variable to myfirewallbox:1 which will be vome screen 0 on the machine running the X server.
i've never actually tried this myself, but know some people who have...
