run ntop off a span port or tap. You'll see the majority of your network traffic is from users idling away on things not quite work related. Separate egres traffic on port 80 and 443 with linux htb, tcng or equivalent profiling. Saves you bandwidth that exchange will immediately suck up.
Seems to me she should be able to say whatever the hell she wants as long as she's not punched in. I don't get to cuss at work because it would be unprofessional if overheard by customers.
Adobe stands to loose the only tube-based revenue stream they have, and it's a big one. They are on the verge of becoming irrelevant via html5. I'm glad. They've had so many security holes over the past few years I hated installing Flash or Reader on anything. There were times it took Adobe months to release critical security fixes and the only reason they didn't do it sooner was because they were too fat and lazy. Everything Adobe is doing now is just a result of slowly running out of oxygen.
The only thing that can save Adobe now, and their grip on the browser/video/porn market, is to Open Source their product. The same way M$ killed Netscape; give it away, or get 0wned.
The article seems to be directed at facebook, but it sounds to me like there needs to be a browser or OS exploit first in order to work: "combine an exploit for this bug with spam or even a self-copying worm code". I'm not a facebook user (get off my lawn), but a lot of XSS flaws are browser specific and if there is a general browser exploit going on, this could affect more websites than facebook. TFA just sounds a little misdirected to me.
Bruce Perens had a petition running for a while that listed thousands of disgusted and angry linux advocates when novell signed the microsoft pact (see http://www.techp.org/ - note: offline at the moment).
As far as I'm concerned, Novell stabbed the community in the back. I don't use Novell products and neither should you.
FTFA: "It's another layer," Touchard says. "This whole concept is defense in layers and defense in strategies."
No, actually what you are doing is damage control - damage control from the lack of adequately prioritizing disaster planning. It's the same thing I run into every day trying to explain computer and network based security.
Tesla's view of messaging involved wearing a small silver oxide dome on top of your head. You had a DC battery pack, capacitor, a nylon jacket, tinfoil shoes with rubber soles, and schrodinger's cat (dead of course).
You would generate current by standing in a puddle (or wet grass) and rubbing the dead cat against the nylon jacket. The DC battery pack would begin to charge but since you were insulated from ground, the electricity had nowhere to go and would build exponentially with each stroke of the cat. The Capacitor would charge itself by harvesting the free electrons on the surface of the jacket until finally, it would discharge creating a vertical bolt of electricity shooting out of the silver oxide dome on your head.
The bolt would travel to the nearest (or tallest) person and ground through the top of their heads and get their attention. Tesla demonstrated this at the World's Fair in 1910 creating a message which traveled 4 miles to nearby goat farm in Brussels (where it ignited and killed a pygmy goat). Due to the unpredictability of the recipient, and the awful stench on the receiving end, it just never really caught on.
Mitnick opened his own firm and tried to build trust through his own company's reputation. It's quite another to ask a company to stake their reputation on you when they really don't know how much trust they can invest in you. Especially in the security field, trust and reputation are paramount. Without either, you might was well be a bot herder. It's risky enough hiring employees in the security field without going against gut instinct and hiring someone with a previous history like this. These guys are kinda screwed.. kinda like the people they pwned. Best thing they could do, imo, is open their own security research firm. Prove to the world they can wear a white hat for a while.
I enjoy the automation and freedom to innovate, utilizing the myriad of open source software that's available and learning from the things I can see without an NDA. I enjoy not working with a black box. I'm guessing you haven't been doing it this way and can understand your exasperation.
RTFA before blaming it on troll behaviour. How can you argue with a statement from the U.S. Regulatory Commission? "Numerous incidents of unplanned releases of radioactivity have been reported to the NRC within the past few months." "These incidents of leaks, overflows and spills have resulted in contamination of areas outside of plant buildings. "
So... then... no pr0n allowed on ARM?

I hate Microsoft as much as any other UNIX geezer (possibly *more* than JWZ) but TFA is representative of the manufacturing industry as a whole, not just Microsoft. You could paste the logo of any Megacorp in the banner of that article and it would still ring true. The problem is, people want their fancy phones, iP(oa)ds, laptops, netbooks, gizmos and gadgets and that creates a market. Cheap labor is vital to the bottom line of any manufacturer and these pics could just as easily be the Kitchen-Aid assembly line as they could be the Micro$oft assembly line. Wake up.
There are currently a number of applications being developed by DORKA which will allow PHBs to manage their own corporate firewalls from an Excel spreadsheet or Microsoft JET database. The applications are being developed from a usability standpoint rather than a security standpoint which allows all traffic to be allowed by default (IPv6 is ignored for simplicity because nobody understands it anyway). When the software detects a DDoS, Intrusion, or Security Breach in progress, it will send an email to the managing PHB and trigger a rule to route BLAME packets through Layer 8 instead. All there is to the interface is a red button marked "Easy" a Yellow button marked "Out To Lunch", and a red button marked "WTF?". You should find it very exciting.
Be warned though - unix *likes* being ugly. non-ansi terminals quickly fill with garbage when ansi escape codes are printed to them. The same problem is with using purty' X dialog shells. If you don't have the terminal support, or X session, or X libraries installed, your script becomes useless in a hurry.
I've run windows in KVM[0] and it works fine. I wouldn't use it for something required Direct3D or OpenGL however. KVM runs closer to the kernel so you get better efficiency over something. If you just need windows for Office or something, you could virtualize the windows instance on the Linux box and then hook up a second hard disk and reboot using a Linux boot CD/DVD.
Once in the Linux 'Live' boot, use dd or dd_rescue to clone the install disk to the newly attached disk. make sure cylinders/size match on the drives. The advantage to virtualizing windows in the Linux environment, is that windows will only see the hardware as virtulized by the host (unless you use pci passthrough). Also, using KVM, you don't have any modules or crap (Looking at you, Vmware) when you update the kernel, or system. Also, you will have less problems booting a cloned drive in Linux than in windows - especially if hardware is grossly different.
It takes a certain type of individual to get his/her kicks out of crawling around in kernel code. Besides that, C isn't as sexy as it was 15 years ago. I ran a LUG for a few years in mid 2000 after being a member for about 5 years. There just wasn't the enrollment in the later years; New people showing up were looking to talk web development, not really anything else. There just isn't the interest in programming these days that there was in the early 90's. Back then, if you had a comp, you were coding - Pascal, Basic -something. I don't know many young people with an interest in writing code these days. The ones that are doing it, are using PHP, not C or assembly.
> And who cares what terms I was searching for when I found this coupon? Stores have a valid reason for wanting that information.
Oh really? And that valid reason is?? What it comes down to is stores want to stock more of what they know people will buy and adjust their pricepoint based on an individual basis. Also, if the store can track your purchase habits, then they can track your return habits as well. In the end, you may just end up paying a premium for items in a store because you are more likely to bring that item back if you have trouble with it. You may even end up with a custom-tailored warranty on things you buy as well. As far as groceries go, imagine you buy the same 10 items every week. With a per-person tracking system, the store can raise the price of those things when you buy them, but offer the same item to a lesser price to the rest of the public. Bartering? are you seriously going to stand in a grocery checkout line and haggle the price of your potatoes with the clerk?
I've seen the costs of Oracle's licensing. They don't want profit, they want a guaranteed user base - just like every other megacorp on the planet. The only way to guarantee a user base, even when you product is shi^H^H resource intensive, is to either distribute complementary kool-aid, or make sure the user base cannot switch to a competing product.
Oracle does not want profit, they want profit with a guarantee.
As far as opensolaris, mysql and the rest of Sun's opensource projects go, well that's just the way the cookie crumbles. When a corporate buyout happens, there are no guarantees about current products whether proprietary OR OSS. If a product doesn't fit a companie's vision they axe it.
You can't be an end-all-be-all company and expect to be around long-term. Seems to me for a tech company to succeed in the long run, they need to focus on doing one thing *extremely* well. People expect Apple to trump their previous creations. Once the "oooo poniez!!" mentality wears off, and the kool-aid begins to taste like warm piss, people will want more-and-better. You can't keep doing that because technology does not evolve at the pace people want new gadgets. So, people get disillusioned, you push out new products in hopes of quelling the whining and your products can't live up to their reputation. Maybe jobs is just planning on being relevant for 10 years, dunno.
Surprise people, but this is what's behind the "Made in China" sticker on all that crap you buy. Think about it next time you throw out your old cellphone, upgrade your comp, or buy an iPad. If there wasn't a demand, there wouldn't be a market.

absolute power corrupts absolutely. Cops need to be held accountable for their actions whether being recorded or not. They don't want to be accountable or recorded and neither does the legislature - hence the support. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=police+video+recording+tampering

anytime an entity has control over a large dataset of demographic data, sales droids will not stop trying trying to turn that into revenue.

iPad sales dropped down to ~10%
what they mean to say is 10 of the 11 people that bought one did so on the first day.
