The city I live in has a major (outsourced) call centre for Microsoft, and a University with a Computing Science degree program. Naturally, many of the CSCI students end up with call centre jobs.
One of my classmates went to work straight from class one day and left his copy of Linux Journal and Silberschatz & Galvin sticking out of his bag. One of the visiting MS bigwigs saw it & blew a hairy fit, and the guy was fired on the spot for "disloyalty".
Gien that thousands of people now have access to a worm that works with a previous RPC exploit, I'd estimate that it'll be a week or less before someone patches blaster to exploit the new flaw.
If you wish to change the files sent to the box, untar distro.tar and add or subtract files. Normally you should not run the install script more than once for a power-cycle of the box. i.e. if you want to run the install again, reset the wrt54g first.
Yes, un-authenticated open telnet as root seems really dumb to me too, but you could always remove telnetd and add SSH w SSH2 RSA only authentication.
You seem to have confused email with something reliable, time-bounded ,
verifiable, authenticatable, and non-repudiatable. It is none of these on it's
own.
Also, the delivery or rejection of all emails may be required by your
contracts, or some other contract requirement may supercede this.
Conceivably, an ISP may have a contractual obligation to either accept and hold
for pickup or reject cleanly any email addressed to any of their clients.
More likely, an ISP will have a contract (explicit or implicit) requiring them
to take reasonably prudent measures to protect their clients from email worms.
This includes rejecting, silently ignoring, or bouncing any bounced messages
containing viruses.
In the case of a server other than an ISP such as one at a
law office, there may be much more important considerations than letting
someone on the outside know that their Virus was bounced. The obligation to
take reasonably prudent measures to protect confidential information from
unauthorized disclosure extends to preventing un-authenticated foreign
code from being run on their systems. If someone needs to send
an executable, they may discuss the matter with
the recipient, and arrange some other means of transfer. So long as all users
of the mail server are aware of the policy, there is little cause for concern.

I reccommend both the Fourth and Fifth edition. The Fourth Edition (ISBM 0-201-50480-4) has a section on The Mach System (aka the core of MacOS X & Next) The Fifth Edition (ISBN 0-201-59113-8) has a section on Windows NT, and a section on Linux (2.0).
Some of them do do this. I have a lovely collection of compromising files from a couple of years ago when one of them was doing this...
It includes ongoing contract negotiations, Protest plans, a huge amount of porn, random spacer/layout gifs from someone's web cache, financial details, etc.

Try googling for alien plant pest. Our most pernicious local variety (on Vancouver Island) is the scotch broom.
12cm * 12cm == 144cm^2
Maybe they didn't fit in his case, or wouldn't fit with adequate cooling & power supply.
My drivers license test did not involve changing brake disks or inspecting the steering rack for wear. Did yours?
That was tried in the early 1980's on Vancouver Island by the Squamish Five
How is paying shareholders and engineers cheaper than just paying engineers?
There already is a reusable vehicle for getting people and material to Low Earth Orbit. It's called the space shuttle.

From the article:
Yes, un-authenticated open telnet as root seems really dumb to me too, but you could always remove telnetd and add SSH w SSH2 RSA only authentication.
With SSH2 and RSA authentcation only, but no telnet, not just anyone could get root.
For the truly paranoid, nothing beats the certainty of a small explosive charge.
looks like new use for the old flying boats...
And it doesn't effect engine noise, which is what you experience when the planes are taking off and landing.
Hmmm...
At the rate I upgrade, that's not likely to be a concern...
XT->486->K6/2->Athlon
They outsourced maintenance on a computer with top-secret data? That sounds extremely stupid.
Signatories to the Bern Convention do. This includes Japan and South Korea, but not China.
Just to clear up any confusion:

Historically, this would have been more clever the other way around, like this:

If you apply power to the shaft of a stirling engine, it is cryo gear.

A sterling engine wouldn't help cool the chip unless you ran it backwards (as a heat pump) by aplying power to the shaft.
Sterling engines impede the transfer of heat much more than heat sinks
Don't forget about this little tidbit:
