hah fuck off. in more then 10 years of tech work i have NEVER blown, or seen someone blow a PC part due to static. ground straps are just a load of bullshit, because in practise we are constantly grounding our selfs.
ground straps are the kind of shit they teach in A+ courses so they get to look offical and all knowing.
typically you american's can't see past your own ego's.
america is the enemy of the rest of the world, and your president is going ot have a policy of shooting first ask questions later?
congradulations you just more unpopular
haha obviously you haven't worked administering a windows network.
people always want access to be able to install shit, and to be able to download exe's etc. and just because they can't see any reason why they shouldn't be allowed to you end up having to argue the toss with them, and at the end of the day you get ORDERED to allow it.
you have put on all the AV and security polices you want. but if joeslob is going to click on and run "naked_sluts.exe" he get emailed, there is nothing you can do.
my solution? don't fucking work administering computers, it's a cunt of a job and it's hugely under paid for the time and stress it causes.
there is one train of thought that life is actually a cosmic imperitive so to speak. in that if it's even remotely possible, then life will occur. the reasoning behind this is that we can find life in boiling springs, frozen rocks and many km's under the sea in total darkness. if life can survive in such conditions, then maybe it's not some rare fragile occurance, but a force in the universe which is just begging to happen anywhere possible.
thats like expecting MS to fix all the 3rd part apps for windows. the firefox team simply cannot fix all your extensions, nor should they be expected to.
look at the hidden meaning here. cisco censor a security researcher, and now they have a new vunerability on their hands.
get ready for an avalanche of these has angry hackers make an example of cisco.
rubbish, you speak for yourself there mate.
the first thing to hone in on is the fact that 1 million email account can generate a hell of a lot of traffic, so your either going to need to be on a lan or have a beefy internet connection (home dsl won't cut it etc.)
secondly if it's 99.9% sla then you'll need REDUNDANT connections.
next is hardware, you'll need caching and secondary dns servers.
naturally you will have to lash out on high end raid cards and decent disks (size determined by how much quota you will give them)
email doesn't really require a massive amount of cpu speed, i reckon you could get away with a single xeon to be honest, although it might be wise to allow for furture growth and just buy dual capable boards.
next step it to buy 2 of the same setups, so that when one fails your backup mx record will go to the 2nd server.
software - bind,sendmail,freebsd (the later is just my personal choice)
don't kid yourself, sendmail IS the most flexable and powerful mta out there.people are going to want all kinds of weird and wonderful setups and sendmail can give it to you.
antivirus, install a good mta based antivirus product.
wrong, only law abiding people handed in their guns. how much you bet i could go down to the local pub make some inquires wave $500 around and buy myself a nice AK47 with enough ammo to make the cops duck for a few hours.
australia has this habit of making retarded laws banning things in instances where it's totally impractical.
"Regardless, the person who forwarded these emails to external parties should be fired because company emails shouldn't be forwarded to unintended recipients without original author's consent."
i don't believe those tags on emails cut the legal mustard anyway, since you have no opertunity to view said contract before accepting the email. quite frankly, if you send me an email, then i'll do what i want with it and anyone who doesn't like it can fuck off and not send it in the first place
software companies say this won't happen, because they like to put forward this idea to the masses that programming is some mystic art that only THEY have the power to use. sorry bozo's, but it's just not the case. no one is so clever that no one else can duplicate their efforts. if one researcher found it then someone else can.
i say contact them and give them a chance to fix it. if they jump on the problem and fix it asap, then do not disclose it right away. the researcher will obviously have a good idea of what time frame it should take to fix it. however, if they bullshit or even worse dismiss your findings, then scream the exploit from the the top of a very high mountain. companies like the later need to be named and shamed.
it all depends where you live, not what you make. i make about 70k pa AUD. if i lived in one of the major cities this would only be average, but since i live in the sticks, it's a lot. the average wage is 33k pa here. i do freebsd admin and system development work btw, and it's all contract work.
EA not so long ago was consuming other companys in borg like style, pumping out stupid games and still making a killing. And now they want me to cry them a river when someone is handing their own ass to them? when will these retards learn you don't have any kind of RIGHT to make money, you have to EARN IT.
oil as a fuel, won't out last the decade i think. you think you have high prices in the USA? everyone else is paying 2x 4x as much as you are. consumer demand for cheaper power and transportation will drive the nails in the coffen.
i hate burst everyones bubble here as well, but how often do you move database packages? db portablity is totally over rated. use a decent database to begin with and you won't have to move to anything.
there are plenty of players inthe printer market that no one needs to put up with their bullshit. just don't use their printers. i have bought a lexmark product in a very very long time due to their shitty cart. polices.
take note, lexmark.
i agree to an extent, how ever where it gets murky is what if i buy your hammer, then use bobs nails which bend a break and i'm not able to nail them into anything, then i come back to you and demand my money back or support?
i do how ever agree that once i purchase something, i'm free to do what ever i want to it. i'd bought it outright. subject to.
1. i can't claim i invented it.
2. if i misuse it i can't claim you have any liability
3. i can't steal your idea if it's patented and sell it as my own.
as i have always said, the only purpose of legisation is to control the average citizen. if i'm a criminal and i'm intent on doing something i know is illegal, then no law or punishment is going to stop me.
it stands to reason then, that laws such as having to give over encryption keys, and limiting the level of encryption so that angecies and break it, is squarely targeted at law abiding citizens.... makes you think doesn' it?
fuck the government, this isn't commie russia and they don't get to control every aspect of everyones life. the more you cry "oh won't the government do something" the more power you give them to do so.
hopfully then your big enough to know mysql is crap, and so is php.

oh yes i c lets insert a NULL when anything goes wrong. GREAT THINKING 99!!!
i live in australia and the large majority of hacks attempted on my systems come from asia. i get mostly spam from american ip's.
instead of blocking entire countries i'm more inclinded to keep my system uptodate and use RBL's to block spam. less loss of connectivity and a reduction in spam

wrong idiot, they just take your money through taxes or force. look at the coupes in south america etc.

it's still early days for google. they are yet to face rough times and demanding investors. lets see how they handle things THEN
