I disagree. The current DNS functionality is "lookup for names and addresses", which is based on the exact string comparison, which is just a subset to more genereal search engine functionality - "look up for strings using exact AND approximate comparison".
DNS isn't a subset of a search engine... it isn't a search engine at all. It is just a system to associate simple ascii strings with IP addresses and other network information. It was never meant to be a system that you can type fuzzy queries into and have some intellegence that interpreted your query and tried to give you a set of possible results back.
With all my respect to the current core functionality of DNS, I do not see anything wrong to extend it by OPTIONAL plugins implemented more lookup rules in addition to the existing ones.
But the wildards that verisign added aren't optional, unless you've upgraded your DNS server to repair the damage they inflicted.
That method will not work if you have a quality firewall. But the reason for that not working has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you are NATing.
No, they don't. With NAT, they get NAT. Nothing about NAT stops packets with internal source addresses from being spoofed on the outside interface, or packets with internal destination addresses from being sent to the external interface by the ISP or source routing.
All that stuff is prevented with plain old filtering rules, which have nothing to do with NAT. You'd use them the same way without NAT.
The ISP could route to their internal network, no problem, making connections to whatever they want.
Netmasks are there for a reason, and every NAT box I've EVER seen uses netmasks to specifically NOT allow the sort of thing you speak of.
I have to agree with the other reply you got on this one. You don't understand what netmasks are. All a netmask does is declare the size of the network (IP-wise). It has nothing to do with preventing spoofed packets from making it past your router.
Yeah, I noticed an ssh upgrade was released, but the bug still was marked outstanding on the webpage, so I didn't trust it. Is 'ssh 1:3.4p1-1' the fixed package?
I must be a pirate. After all, its "clear that [my] intent was piracy"
Are you dishing up those 1000s of songs on the internet for anyone with a computer to download a copy of? If so, then yes it is quite clear what your intent is.
Similiarly, Apple releases an iPod that hold overs 10,000 downloaded songs. It's clear that the intent of those who purchase such a device is piracy.
Seriously, why is "1000" songs an indicator of piracy? Are "846" songs just a reasonable amount that a person may legally have?
I don't understand why everyone is missing the point here. They aren't being sued because they simply posses "1000s" of songs, they're being sued because they are distributing "1000s" of copyrighted songs which they don't have the rights to. It is textbook copyright infringement. It would also be copyright infringement if they were only distributing one song.
Why not just put that fuel cell into the point car described by the grandparent post. Seems like the point railcar would be far simpler to engineer than an automated airplane. It won't need any fancy (read: error prone) image recognition to detect obstructions. Just run into the obstruction. I know, not very elegant, but the idea is that colliding with the point car is a lot less disastrous than colliding with the train.
I just thought that any sort of troubleshooting that should need to occur would be pretty darn difficult without being able to tell what's really going on.
You can tell what's really going on: serial console.
A couple of friends of mine were badly burned because the web hosting company they were using lost all their data (customer and their own) in one humungous crash, and didn't have any backups. They didn't even have a spare copy of their customer database, so they couldn't even contact their customers to tell them what was going on. Nor could they tell what customers they had and how much service they'd paid for, etc.
Are these incompetent morons still in buisness? If so, can you let me know who they are so I can avoid them?
Yeah, God forbid that anybody with kids should ever want to travel. They should just lock up the kids until they hit 18.
I have a 9 month old. We do travel, although not by plane. And when I'm in a public place, such as a restaurant or auditorium and she starts crying, I take her outside.
Yeah, it takes a little more work to be a considerate parent, as evidenced by the minivan housewives who think it is ok to let an infant scream for 20 straight minutes in a restaurant.
I don't remember any b2b offices there--it's all stripmalls. Maybe there's a MailBoxes Etc. or something there now and that's a box, not an apartment.
Looks like it is a normal office. There's a real estate office in the same building in suite 306. This bulk club thing must make a decent amount of money to have a real physical office like that.
If you want a plane ride where you can bring a baby that will scream at the top of its lungs for hours on end, charter a plane yourself.
Don't want to? then fuck off, OK? Airports (and numerous other public places) are a big enough pain without a parent who thinks that their child is neccessarily everyone else's problem.
As the grandparent said, the conveince of one parent does not outweigh the need for 100 people to sleep.
If it means you can't take a noisy baby onto a plane, tough shit I say.
Unless the rights to print such a document are still allowed, it would mean that corporations can get away with hundreds upon hundreds of scams, illegal activites and everything else that our nation's current corporate climate has bred.
On the contrary, if the documents are encrypted like this, this will deny any kind of refutability to whoever wrote them.
For instance, lets say you get ahold of an email from the CEO about dumping some toxic waste in the sea as you describe. You're able to pull it up on the screen on your DRM-encumbered work PC, but you can't print it or save it as plain text or email it out or anything. But you can take a screen shot (perhaps even with a physical camera), and then save the encrypted file to a disk. Now you cannot read that encrypted file, but it could later be used (in court) to prove that the boss really did write it because only his key could have created that file.
Now compare that with just plain text email. I could copy the message to a disk and bring it home, but then the boss could just delete the message at work and say that I just made it up, and I cannot prove otherwise.
University of Akron's also got very good wireless coverage, and they push laptops rather heavily. It was so terribly convenient. I'm not going there anymore, alas... I miss it. The speed was really blazing, and nothing compares to the ability to actually be online looking up information related to your lectures while they're happening... can make for a much greater understanding of the material.
Alas, my current school has some kind of fledgling deal going on, but so far I haven't even been able to get it to work, and they aren't very good about providing information on it.:(
Just a little heads up to anyone who might be thinking of going there, living in the dorms and doing anything but web browsing on your computer:
I just graduated from there this month. I agree, the wireless is good. Unfortunately however, they also put that campus-wide firewall in place that would make Hitler seem liberal. I'm in the computer science club there. I hear plenty of complaints from students who are trying to use the campus network for useful things (ie, services) but can't. Even some video games aren't playable.
Certainly don't try making any special requests to the IT department. To them, the students are like a disease. I lived in the dorms my first three semesters there, before the network nazis put up the campus wide firewall. I very humbly requested a reverse DNS entry pointing to a hostname in a domain I owned. I got a very bitchy response back about how anything in 130.101/16 "represents" uakron.edu and it was incorrect to have PTRs going to any other domains. I then requested any DNS entry at all (because at the time they had no DNS entries for any dorm net addresses). After about a week they put one in place.
Also, our student senate representative found out that they log all network traffic at border and store it for some time. If the RIAA or federal government ever comes a knockin', your ass and every bit of information they have on you will be in the sling faster than you can blink. You may have heard stores about universities refusing to turn student information over to the RIAA on request. Well, this is no such university, trust me.
And then they had the nerve to apply this "technology fee" to our tuition, after making the network LESS usable than before.
When our plant is disconnected from the grid (not easy, because we have three lines running out on seperated paths, but it happened last year), we have a whole lot of energy in the system, and no place to put it- so we trip the plant.
I don't know anything about electrical power or engineering, but this whole thing has made me curious. Since you seem to know, I have a question...
Why do plants such as nuclear and those others you mention have to be shut down when the electricity they generate isn't being consumed? Small generators, like one on a bicycle to power a light don't seem to have that issue. Why do large ones? Also, what exactly happens if a large generator continues to run with no load attached?
My mail client consists of 57 individual command line programs (one for listing messages, one for changing folders, one for showing messages, one for marking messages, etc.)

another statment, which is, a fact.

in both cases the old farts (and it has nothing to do with age) have ruined whatever interest I might have had.
