Whats the problem with Root running a sports book? Why would a libertarian object to someone running a business?
Ive worked in IT for a bookmaker for several years. There are bookmakers on the highstreet in every town in this country (Ireland). Its a perfectly legitimate business...
America is a strange place.

China Bans 50 Games

· Score: 3, Informative
Presumably these games are not legally sold in china - i.e. They dont have a legal distributer, so the Chinese government is banning all copies of these games because all copies are illegal.

This is the preliminary information known at this time.
There is a new mass-mailing worm that utilizes email to propagate itself. The threat arrives as readme.exe in an email.
In addition, the worm sends out probes to IIS servers attempting to spread by using the Unicode Web Traversal exploit similar to W32.BlueCode.Worm. Compromised servers may display a webpage prompting a visitor to download an Outlook file which contains the worm as an attachment.
Also, the worm will create an open network share allowing access to the system. The worm will also attempt to spread via open network shares.
Vulnerability Prevalence: VERY HIGH, effects IIS servers version 4.0,
5.0, and internal networks.
Cost: High, command execution is possible
Vulnerable Systems: IIS 4.0 and 5.0
SUMMARY:
A new IIS worm is spreading rapidly. Its working name is Nimda:
W32.nimda.a.mm
It started about 9am eastern time today, Tuesday,September 18, 2001,
Mulitple sensors world-wide run by TruSecure corporation are getting
multiple hundred hits per hour. And began at 9:08am am.
The worm seems to be targeting IIS 4 and 5 boxes and tests boxes for
multiple vulnerabilities including:
Almost all are get scripts, and a get msadc (cmd.exe)
get_mem_bin
vti_bin owssvr.dll
Root.exe
CMD.EXE
../ (Unicode)
Getadmin.dll
Default.IDA
/Msoffice/ cltreq.asp
This is not code red or a code red variant.
The worm, like code red attempts to infect its local sub net first,
then spreads beyond the local address space.
It is spreading very rapidly.
TruSecure believes that this worm will infect any IIS 4 and IIS 5
box with well known vulnerabilities. We believe that there are
nearly 1Million such machines currently exposed to the Internet.
Risks Indices:
Vulnerability VULNERABILITY PREVALANCE is very high - Milllions of
Internet Web server hosts: TruSecure process and essential
configurations should generally be protective. The vulnerability
prevalence world-wide is very high
Threat - VERY HIGH and Growing The rate of growth and spread is
exceedingly rapid - significantly faster than any worm to date and
significantly faster than any variant of Code red.
Cost -- Unknown, probably moderate per infected system.
The worm itself is a file called
README.EXE, or ADMIN.DLL
a 56K file which is advertised as an audio xwave mime type file.
Other RISKS:
There is risk of DOS of network segments by traffic volume alone
There is large risk of successful attack to both Internet exposed IIS
boxes and to developer and Intranet boxes inside of corporations.
Judging by the Code Red II experience, we expect many subtle routes
of infection leading to inside corporate infections.
We cannot discount the coincidence of the date and time of release,
exactly one week to (probably to the minute) as the World Trade
Center attack .
REPLICATION:
There are at least three mechanisms of spread:
The worm seems to spread both by a direct IIS across Internet (IP
spread)
It probably also spreads by local shares. (this is not known for
sure at this time)
There is also an email vector where README.EXE is sent via email to
numerous accounts.
Mitigations
TruSecure essential practices should work.
Block all email with EXE attachments
Filter for README.EXE
Make sure IIS boxes are well patched and hardened, or removed from
both the Internet and Intranets.
Make sure any developer computing platforms are not running IIS of
any version (many do so by default if either.
Disconnect mail from the Internet
Advise users not to double click on any unexpected attachments.
Update anti-virus when your vendor has the signature.

It appears that your operating system is not supported by shockwave.com. We support the following operating systems: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 (or later), and Mac OS 8.1 (or later).
Have a look at what you get if you try to call up shockwave.com with a linux box.

you must be new here
Album releases are often referred to as 'records', at least in the UK and Ireland, regardless of the format.
i.e. Sting has a new record out on the 29th
The process is fully documented on xboxhacker.net. Jesus Christ.

everything is wrong
You are missing the point. Wheter or not an app is open source is irrelevant to us non-os zealots. What matters is wheter the tool can do the job.
If memory serves me correctly, photogenics was an excellent package when I had a copy running on my old Amiga 1200.
Dont feel bad, I was the same :)
