I found the following the most interesting, for it described how they would respond with "asymmetric responses":
"In these cases, the operations center may call for a variety of efforts, including (1) escalated multilateral profiling and blacklisting of upstream providers; (2) distributed denial of service counterstrikes; (3) special operations experts applying invasive techniques; and (4) combined operations which apply financial derivatives, publicity disinformation, and other techniques of psychological operations."
Now how exactly this will help when you have a few hundred to a few thousand virused zombie machines running a DDoS against you and you have no clue who's behind it... is beyond me.
The local university has a vending stripe on all the student ID cards, which acts as a store of value. Could I grab one of these babies, find a lost card, put some money on it, then effectively copy it repeatedly with this device to get all the free soda, snacks, and photocopies I like?
Salty liquid water maybe? Bacteria? This meeting will also be broadcast on NASA TV."
Darn. If it's broadcast on NASA TV, then there's no way on Earth (or Mars, for that matter) that it could possibly be anything of interest.... Forget C-Span, if you want boring TV just be sure to tune in to this.
One thing I don't understand, forgive me if this has been touched on before, is how SCOX can offer licenses based on as yet legally unproven information?
Hello. You must be new here.:)
Even though your user ID seems to say otherwise. Ahh well. Welcome to our US legal and business systems...
Thing is that a lot of content is created without the motivation of being paid for it/having something to sell. (Including the best selling book series in history.)
Which is that? I'd guess the Bible... if you count it as a series. Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy...
The Internet is doomed. Users will stick with the default Windoze virus scanner which will be updated once a year with a patch from Microsoft which will then be installed six months after it is released, and all the spammers will drown the rest of us out with the hijacked bandwidth from all the 0wnz0r3d b0x3n.
AND, it will probably start sneakily disabling competitors' programs. Bah.
I never really read the license, but isn't the LambdaMOO server at least open-source? I know that it hasn't really changed much in the past five years... Also, has anyone in here ever looked at ColdC? It's a fascinating open-source (IIRC) object-oriented system, even if its default core is abysmally documented and mildly confusing;) Would anything like this fit the bill?
Postscript: I have been looking at ColdC and can't find the stinking license anywhere. Maybe it's not open-source after all. Bah. And LambdaMOO I think has some wierd Xeorox thing, but I think it's sort-of-free....
I'm glad to see that all the web designers that thought that fancy web pages are what people want have been shown to be wrong. Excuses like "oh, this is for a 'distinctive feel'" or "we won't look up-to-date without Flash", etc, just don't measure up.
As a web developer whose bosses think that the page just won't be worth ANYTHING without a JavaScript drop-down services menu... HALLELUJIAH, I love what you're saying.:) =b

(sigh) Didn't we already have jokes about robotic trousers earlier this week? =b
Earlier posts indicate that this occurred in 2000.

Or for brevity, {{msg:NPOV}}.
Only for values of 'heaven' approximately equal to 'geosynchronous orbit'. Ever heard of space elevator speculation?
That was a joke, son.
Uhh... when it was only a few bucks to begin with?

Or your dear sweet old grandma is sued because her age-old family recipe violates some sort of McDonald's trade secret or patent.
Horrendously offtopic, but a guy with a .sig like mine has got to chip in and agree. :)
I use a social networking bot in Java, thank you. :)

Hmm. Create yourself a few image Guides and then use the Guillotine tool. Instant slicing.
That can't be true, because it would mean that Windows has infinite convenience!
AND, it will probably start sneakily disabling competitors' programs. Bah.
Wait a minute... I don't own an iPod! Or any .WMA files! GAAAH!
Thank god!
I switched my (inherited) server over to Postfix on Saturday, and I'm setting up TMDA as well.
(come to think of it, I don't own a scanner either =/)
