Using Google or Wikipedia will only give you someone ELSES answer to the question.
To have your own answer requires research and reflection. Those two things take time, time that many people simply do not have.
Google / Wikipedia are great for "How do I change a fuel injector in a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP" questions where the answer is quickly and easily provable.
I don't want my questions that involve nuance and judgment answered by some random person or group whose answer is likely regurgitated MSM information pushed through their personal bias filter.
The really important questions, the ones that are life changing and world relevant require UNDERSTANDING not just information. You don't get understanding by reading 3 paragraphs of Wikipedia or even 100 articles from Google.
You get understanding from reading as much information as you can tolerate and then spending all the time you need in order to think about it and reach a reasoned conclusion.
This line "See, I know how to NOT answer every email immediately unless it is truly urgent." betrays you as a corporate drone.
See in order to know whether or not that email needs an immediate reply means you have to read it!
It also means that the people emailing you are secure in the knowledge that you read them at almost any time THEY decide to send it.
Now reading an email may not take much time but the fact remains that you're spending "your" time doing company related activity.
It also means that you're at least partially allowing other people to dictate your work schedule.
If you're compensated for this then more power to you. If you're not, well, you're giving away the only thing of any real value in your life. Your time.
I'm going to throw away some mod points to respond your post.
If you have something other than the ADC, or another AD integrated DNS server, acting as the primary DNS for your AD then the setup is wrong.
The correct setup is for DHCP to ONLY handle out AD integrated DNS servers to clients if there is an AD structure. Again, if you done anything else the setup is wrong.
This specifically includes moronic administrators who set the secondary DSN to an ISP on the theory that the local AD integrated DNS server will always respond faster unless it's down in which case the ISP secondary DNS will at least allow the user to surf the Internet. This is so dumb it should be criminal.
In short, the only places that would have a problem with an internet wide.local domain are places that have administrators or consultants that should be FIRED for gross incompetence.
FYI, DHCP really has nothing to do with this. You could achieve the same screwed up, or correct, configuration with static IP addressing.
That is true but when you're exploring the back country it often is not obvious what is private and what is public grazing land. Even with this it's still quite possible for a single rancher to privately own a couple of square miles making the posting of signs an onerous and expensive burden.
Posted at each entry? Holy Crap it's blindingly obvious that you've never been anywhere in open territory!
Out here in the American West property can be HUGE, often larger than entire cities. How in the name of all that's rational do you expect to post at each entry?!
For instance: The Sun Ranch in Wyoming is about 3,000,000 acres. That's 12,140 square kilometers! By way of contrast London is a mere 1620 square kilometers.
You're seriously suggesting to post "no trespassing" signs on the boundary of area that is roughly 10 TIMES the size of London?!
The Air Force does. It's called the Civil Air Patrol.
I did scouting until I was old enough, 13?, to move to C.A.P.
The C.A.P. was great. I got free flying lessons and when I got to 16 went on several SAR (Search and Rescue) missions involving downed civilian aircraft.
I spent a couple of weeks every summer on military bases learning about Air Force life and touring aircraft that most people could only see in pictures (B1-B at McConnell Douglas AFB in Kansas for instance).
Back to the point. BSA was fun and taught a lot of outdoor skills but C.A.P. taught survival skills on a higher order and had much more discipline.
Here I go replying to an AC. Oh well.
How arrogant of you to assume that the ability to differentiate a Russian accent from a Serbian one somehow makes someone superior to someone else!
For instance, can you personally differentiate between the southern accent of a citizen of the State of Alabama and the southern accent of a citizen of the State of Texas?
How about the accent difference between a Nebraskan and a Wyomingite? Michigan and Indiana?
I'm almost willing to guarantee that you cannot do it for any of the examples I list. Yet here you are bashing and trolling on "ignorant US citizen" for something that you yourself likely cannot do.
You're a no imagination troll with a superiority complex. I'd recommend that you get over yourself and stop looking down your nose at everyone...before your view gets bent.
These are such well known statistics that I'm surprised you're questioning them.
The United States Government is, and has been for some time, the largest giver in absolute dollars of any nation in the world. There are tons of references to this online but here is one: http://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Debt/USAid.asp#ForeignAidNumbersinChartsandGraphs
Buried in that article is the knowledge that U.S. Citizens, outside the government, donate almost double what the Government does.
No matter how you slice the numbers the United States through it's government and private citizens are the most generous givers in absolute terms of any nation and her citizens.
Period.
That's an interesting position. Everything that EBay puts out there says that a winning bid constitutes a legal contract between the buyer and the seller.
If that's true, and IANAL, then they must accept public tender as a debt has been legally created by their own terms of sale.
I believe what you are describing is called a rumplestilskin (sp?) attack. It's a different thing than a dictionary attack but your point is made.
Anyway, you are correct. Good collaboration between lots and lots of hosts does break my scheme.
It's the collaboration between remote hosts that makes it work for them though.
Also consider that what I've described isn't the only thing that I'm doing. I've also got mx record checking turned on.
How many of those unknowns in your log would have been dropped for a bad reverse MX lookup and given a different error message?
There's no magic bullet to this problem but the onion defense is pretty stern stuff.
Technically you are correct. However when was the last time that your email server was attacked by 100,000 (or more per your post) hosts pushing smtp attempts as fast as possible for a period of 24 hours?
That doesn't look like a dictionary attack, that looks more like a DDOS...unless you're running gmail.
I would suggest that if your email server will accept enough incoming connections to make a dictionary attack viable that you have a mis configured email server.
Seriously, how many hundreds of connections resulting in "no such user" will your email server allow from the same IP?
Mine will take 10 and then begin tarpitting. Once you exceed the tarpit threshold it begins rejecting incoming connections from the specified IP for the next 24 hours.
Now a sophisticated attacker may come at your email server from multiple hosts (IPs) with a coordinated attack but they're going to need a LOT of hosts to get anywhere when they only get 10 shots before the server starts actively taking measures against any single host.

I'm struggling to understand how you got modded insightful when you're wrong. Everything that the music company spends to make the content a hit is charged to the artist, at least under most contracts. If the $LABEL spends a million recording, producing, and marketing an album that grosses $750,000 then the artist is on the hook for the $250,000 shortfall.
That little contractual detail negates your entire argument.
Now I could be wrong but having talked to an artist or three this seems to be pretty common contract stuff.
Someday I am going to find the person responsible for the death of "Darklands" and I am going to kick them in the balls. Hard. Repeatedly. For a long time.
Those "super large" dump trucks that have you so excited have been in use in the open pit coal mines of Wyoming (Thunder Basin/Rio Tinto in particular) for years.
Wait until your stuck behind one that's being moved. Takes up the whole Interstate and they go slooooooooowwwwwww.:-)
Shoot, every once in awhile a local company named WATCO will fabricate a new dump body. Talk about truly mammoth material handling!
Do nothing and a hue and a cry goes up for leadership. Do something and a hue and a cry goes up because we're insufferable bastards forcing or will on the rest of the world.
You don't get it both ways. Either we lead the way or we don't. I haven't seen a plan like this put out by any other first world nation, though I suppose I could be lacking information.
The site is a stupid, terrible idea anyway. I'm personally aware of many cops who have an irrational hatred for the citizens and activist citizens, simply because of what they are.
Yes, you have bad citizens. You've also got a lot of good citiziens who *are* being harassed and defamed by the cops complaining about this site. Frankly, it's as stupid as that teachers lounge that lets high school teachers make unsubstantiated complaints about their students. Just because you have police power, doesn't mean that you can use it to make a person's life hell.
Funny how that reads almost as well the other way, isn't it?
It was my understanding that we were buying the stuff that was coming out of their decommissioned nuclear weapons. I believe the theory was that us buying it was better than it going to the highest anonymous bidder.
Thanks for the laugh! This is Hollywood man! These people have accountants that can make a BILLION dollar movie like Titanic show a loss on the books! Do you really think that they can't hide a mere $400 Million?
