I can execute email attachments on Linux too. What's to stop someone from making a Perl5 worm that greps `cat/var/spool/mail/* ~/Mail/* ~/.Mail/*` for email adddresses and sends them all copies of itself? This method would work on just about every *NIX, and would have full access to the user's home directory.
Sure, it can only mess up $HOME, but the damage is still done. I don't know about your system, but on my desktop almost everything not under $HOME can be re-built with a clean install. Almost everything under $HOME is what would really suck to lose.
Here a few years ago there was a sting of robberies where the thieves called a whole lot of people and convinced them to "test" the emergency response system at a specified time a few days later.
All of a sudden there were hundreds of simultaneous calls reporting accidents, fires, muggings, heart attacks, rapes, robberies, etc. The thieves robbed two banks and a big-box store while the police were tied up.
In my case it was a complete unstable distal radius fracture and dislocation of the distal ulna.
The hard part is using other people's mice. Most mice are really only designed for right-handers. I actually find a trackball best, as It doesn't have to move around so it keeps my left hand close to the keyboard. Qwerty keyboards are left-biassed for writing text, which is a blessing when you can't use your right hand, but moving back and forth to the mouse is a pain.
Me too... I got more speed out of my 486 DX-2/66 by down-clocking it. The motherboard supported running at 50mhz (with no clock multiplier, this led to faster memory access).
Sounds like a Troll, and I could just mod him down, but I feel more like argueing back.
Cisco routers suck at IPv6.Current models, perhaps. But cisco is not the only router manufacturer, and routers can easily be made from a commodity PC with 2 (or more) network interfaces and commercial or open-source software (Linux/OpenBSD/Solaris or whatever).
There are too many addresses. How can there be too many addresses? There may be more than is currently forseen as needed, but I don't see how there can be too many. NAT is no solution as it breaks a great many protocols including H.323. As IPv6 is intended to make it possible for devices like telephones to live on IP networks, not breaking H.323 is mandatory.
IPv6 addresses are too large. Bits are cheap, future re-specifying of protocols is not. A routing table does not need to have an entry for every possible address, just what ranges are reachable from each interface.
The IPv6 header is too large. MTU stands for Maximun Transfer Unit so with a physical layer with the smallest frame size will have 3.6% more overhead. These networks tend to be short-haul connections in noisy environments. Longer-haul networks (and/or) with less noise tend to have MTUs closer to 10,000, so with these networks you have closer to 0.2% more overhead. This doesn't seem like such a big deal to me.
Is copyright & contract violation a criminal act, or merely a civil matter in Australia?
Is copyright & contract violation a criminal act, or merely a civil matter in the US?
When did this come about?
If he alledgedly committed the acts in Australia (whether they're civil or criminal matters), why is he not facing the Australian courts?
If it's a civil matter in Australia, why are they even talking about extradition?
So the question is: Does the US court have jurisdiction of these crimes, if they did occur in Australia?
That's a question which the US court will no doubt adress in the trial.
I hope that it's looked at in Australian courts first.
We should assume our data is being intercepted in the first place -- that's why you provide data security. Thou shalt encrypt.
On that note, does anyone know how to (or even if it's possible to) configure Linux 2.6.x, KAME tools, and IPTables such that:
Clients may connect to 25/tcp, 80/tcp, 465/tcp and 443/tcp using a certificate signed by any of the comon commercial CAs, or our internal CA
Clients communicating with any other service must be auto-keyed using a certificate signed by our internal CA
?
Also I'd like to point out that if you're dealing with other peoples sensitive information, you must also assume your server may be cracked or stolen, so on-disk encryption is as important as on the wire encryption.
Note I didn't say it could be taken with a search warrant because on-disk encryption won't help there -- they'll just supeona your passphrases.
It sounds to me more like some general had a brief introduction to computing theory, but didn't relate it to any real current technology.
The alternative to Von Neuman (Code and Data in the same memory) is to have code and data in seperate memory areas. This makes it very difficult to make computers where the code can change. Sure, there's no buffer overflows, but there's no security patches either. It might be fine for embedded devices, but I'll not have it on my desktop. The Page (or Segment) executable flag of more modern memory management units does the job fine, without all the hassle.
The OSI model is already not used anywhere except to compare proposed network models to; it's way too complex.
He talks about replacing packet switching so that messages are delivered on time & with certainty. Presumably he means some kind of virtual circuit switching, but he also talks a lot about constantly shifting ad-hoc networks. Circuit switchinfg & ad-hoc networks don't mix well. You have to know what the path is going to be before you can reserve it. It's probably better to just turn on the QoS and AH already implemented in IPv6.
In order to understand statements about both the Liberals and the Conservatives being like the Republicans, you must look at politics not as a single dimension (left-right), but in two dimensions. There is the economic (left--right or popular--corporate), and the social ( libertarian--authoritarian ).
As I see it, the Republicans and the Conservatives are Authoritarian (except for gun control), and economically right-wing (in everything but paying lip-service to the Canada Health Act, in the case of the Conservatives). I base this on the actions of the Reagan, Bush Sr, Mulroney, and Bush Jr administrations, and the public comments of Preston Manning, Stockwell Day, Peter McKay, and the current leadership candidates.
The Liberals are socially slightly authoritarian (remember, Gay Marraige and Marijuanna decriminalization were decisions by the supreme court, not the Liberal party, and the crackdowns outside the APEC (Vancouver, 1997) and FTAA (Quebec, 2001) conferences).
Economically under Chretien the Liberals tend to govern right wing, while running for office by making left-leaning promises. In 1993 these were scraping the GST and the FTA. Since they were elected Paul Martin (finance minister through most of Chretien's administration) has kept the GST, while allowing some corporations to defer billions of dollars in taxes.
Meanwhile Pierre Pettigrew has been negotiating the extremely corporateist NAFTA, FTAA and MAI agreements.
The Liberals also pay lip-service to the Canada Health Act while strangling funding to health care in poorer provinces.
Since Paul Martin came to the leadership moderates in the Liberal caucus like Sheila Copps are being forced out. This is very similar to the transformation of the BC Liberal party into a reactionary corporatist elite after it was flooded by disenfranchised Socreds, who elected Gordon Campbel their leader despite him being so right-wing he's even making Socreds uneasy. I actually had a conversation about this issue with Gordon Wilson when he was leader of the now defunct PDA. I suggested he join the NDP; about a week later he did. I doubt it was from my urging, I'm just some schmo who ran into him in the halls of the leg. when I was sightseeing in Victoria.
Under Bill Clinton, the Democrats tended to govern libertarian and economically centrist, except for negotiating the corporatist FTA, and NAFTA.
The NDP's official policies tend to be libertarian and left leaning. Party members are mostly libertarian and range on the left-right scale from centrist to quite left. In power in BC (I'm talking about this because of someone who implied the NDP is hated in BC), the NDP had 4 successive administrations (in 3 terms).
Mike Harcourt was premier from 1991 to 1995 using a mostly centrist (in both dimensions) style. One notable exception to this was his cuts to welfare coverage, which many of the party supporters saw as an attack on the poorest, and a ploy to pander to the right wing press (the Vancouver Sun and the Vancouver Province, mostly). Reaction to this is part of why Glen Clark's leadership bid was successful (as a return to the party's principles), but not why he left office. He was nearly forced out due to the Liberal party's clamouring over the fictional "fudge-it budget", since proven to have been within GAAP, and the "bingogate" non-scandal, where Hon. MLA Dave Stupich leading the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holdings Society gave some bingo and raffle proceeds to the NDP and the Democrat (the provincial NDP's newsletter). These purposes were expressly in the Society's constitution, and were used by almost every party in the province at the time they occured (1983-1985).
Glen Clark was premier from 1996 to 1999. His administration ired the corporatist media conglomerates (mostly the Vancouver Sun, Vancouver Province, and

There is a difference between Object Oriented Programming, and Object Oriented Languages. Linux is written in C because it was more efficient, standardized, and well-known than C++ when Linux was started. It's still object-oriented though. Look at the Module, Pseudo Filesystem, Pseudo Terminals, Block, Character, and Event Device interfaces for example.
Are you planning on having Natural gas tanks on-site? What if whatever knocks out the power (landslide, hurricane, earthquake, etc) also knocks out the local gas service?
If you're a politician, lawyer or human-rights worker in a country where your opponents may take extra-legal control of a CA to issue faulty certificates, your own CA may be the best option.
Who knows better than you who is a legitimate member of your organization?
Remember, X.509 certificates are used for more than just e-commerce and online banking. They're also used for S/MIME email, Intranet Websites, and VPNs. If I were running an IPSec protected multisite VPN I sure wouldn't trust a commercial CA to decide who can connect.

I don't. Neither does CSIS or the CIA.
Carefull there...
This kind of thing is best posted AC through anonymizing proxies, lest the biggest tyrants brand you a "terrorist".
Although, your posting history tends to suggest that you have been trying to disrupt communication systems, so you might technically be a terrorist.

That's 3, Informative, at most.
The best way to do this is with vector based graphics, which is what SVG is.
Yes, I do know it was a troll.
Yes, you could embed any data (including scripts), and with a ECMAScript capable renderer, even use it to generate the image (for graphs etc).
That's not what steganography is, though. I suggest you review what steganography is.
A big blob of <[CDATA[ would stick out like a sore thumb in an SVG. It's best to stick with embedding int Tiffs and Wavs.
