    Excellent. Nothing like cutting off 750,000 visitors because one was spamming.

    And didn't Canada rule that it is legal for Canadians to decrypt digital satellite signals from companies such as Dish which don't sell in Canada?

    No. Grey-market satellite dishes are illegal here too, but for different reasons (canadian content quotas, blah blah blah)

    As I understand it the original laws were based on a lot of wrong information.
    Also a lot of lobbying by the petrochemical industry (hemp has a lot of the same uses as nylon and polyester).

    As much as I despise Paul Martin, Ujjal Dosanjh, and Belinda Stronach, the regressive conservatives are even worse.

    What this country really needs is an NDP government with a slight minority, supported issue-by-issue by former backbench Liberals and BQ members.

    Well, that, and a media that investigates stories instead of just taking whatever the PR firms say, a ban on raw-log exports, and a non-insane regime leading our large neighbour.

  9. Re:Exploits on real vs. virtual XP boxen on Microsofts "Honeymonkey" Project · · Score: 1

    It's a lot easier to detect changes to RAM on a virtual machine (which can be halted and examined) than on a real machine (which must be rebooted to run a clean system).

    Newer patch states may conceal still-present older bugs. I.E. the SP2 firewall may stop someone from exploiting a long-unnoticed remote vulnerability... until the attacker comes across a machine with the firewall turned off.

    Uhh... no. You seem to be confusing XHTML+CSS with XHTML+CSS+XSLT+XML+SQL+(PHP|ASP). I make static sites quite a bit with XHTML+CSS, and it's acrtually easier.

    XHTML+CSS tends to be way easier than a morass of HTML tables and font tags.

    what could be easier than:

    END OF BLOCK

    notice the lack of any font, layout, etc commands. Just structural grouping. You can make some pretty nice looking static sites this way and making additional pages takes seconds rather than the minutes (or hours) it takes to make them in craptastic editors like frontpage. And all your pages look the same, not off by a few pixels. This is pretty much how most of the pages I make at work are done.

    Wonderfull... now I can spend $116 to save a little shelf space. I have two different versions already so I can have the (old) appendix on Mach and the (newer) apendicies on Linux and NT.

    So you're saying it's Mach 2.5, not Mach 3? (Mach was built from BSD by gradually moving things to the new architecture; it's always had BSD code).

  20. Re:WTF? on Hack IIS6 Contest · · Score: 1

    GURPS. All mele weapon damage is based on the character's strength. A character with a ST (strength) of 14 has swing damage 2d6. A cleaver is the right size to have no plusses or minuses. So in GURPS a cleaver weilded by a ST 14 character does 2d6 cut damage. This is easily enough to kill any normal, non-armoured character. That's why in GURPS, most games either involve very high point characters, or less hack & slash than your typical dungeon crawl.
