I would like to say that this will be the best thing ever to happen to geeks. Why? Well, when I was a kid bullys beat me up and stuff. God help the bully who would have tried to go techy on my ass!!! My children will grow up in a world where bullys get their websites DDOSed etc...
I can see it now (Bully site)"TImmy is gay"
E-Mail to Bully site I admin from Timmy "I own your website and I got your moms credit card. If you do not leave me alone I will buy lots of gay porn under your name with her card. Also, look at your site. Do you like that picture I think it does you justice and Elton John never looked so young...I really like the Gimp it works well. Would you like to call truce?
Case and point would be the linux kernel, which has dozens of options which for years have had no help, no corresponding HOWTO, and names that remind you of PlotHoleFillTech from Star Trek
But I am sure that you know all the options for ntoskrnl.exe right? Get a grip, talk about something relevant to an OSes usability. Most users do not what a kernel is whether it is Linux, BSD, SCO, Sun or Microsoft. Admins (in a position to need to) know about them. BTW, the Linux kernel is probably the most thoroughly documented kernel out there.
It's completely impractical to expect ISP's to employ trained professionals to track down infected users on their networks.
That is a suggestion on a completely different level than what I made. The suggestion I made is for network administrators (router ops at ISPs) to take responsibility for the traffic coming from their network. Not for the individual traffic coming from the user. As a router admin I will tell you that this can be accomplished with very little effort. The issue is very connected BTW.
It doesn't matter if joe user doesn't update his virus definitions if his service provider has one of these things plugged in just after the router.
Or if his overpaid but cost-conscious (read that cheap) ISP hires a CCIE who can write ACLs and log ISPs sending deleterious traffic.
Perhaps ISPs could behave like a community (like in the early 90s). Joe Routeradmin from abc.isp could notice inhis logs that xyz.isp is transmitting on port 135 constantly, instead of just blocking him, he could contact them.
Put one at the front of your network, and reduce internal bandwidth wastage from propogation of virii/worms inward.
Or you could carefully configure the router / firewall at the front of your network (like according to RFCs?!?). Everybody is looking for something to eliminate the burden of proper management / administration. Hows about people read the RFCs know their OSes and their limitations and create management strategies accordingly.
They've invented an Intrusion Detection System. Useful, but what's so special about this one?
I think you are being very generous to him. Personally, I think he just "invented" the managed switch. After all you could do exactly this: 'Each FPX device then filters traffic passing over the network, so that it can immediately quarantine a virus or Internet worms within sub networks (subnets). By just installing a few such devices between subnets, a single device can protect thousands of users.
With a Cisco switch running Cisco IOS, and guess what, a Cisco switch is hardware.
You complain that you did not get a job because of your SAT scores that you took 10 years ago, you can get money out of those companies.
My own opinion is the people who spend the most time worrying about this are substandard employees. No, you do not need to prove ANYTHING about a job listing. If I say you need sanskrit and you come in and don't have sanskrit, the fact is I can say that wasn't even nearly as important as supply chain management etc....You list a LOT of requirements so that NO ONE matches them and then you can pick and choose on the basis of merit. If you do not get the job you did not have you did not lose money and have no recourse.
but how exactly does John Horsley, general counsel of Transmeta fit into that list? Besides being Linus' old workplace, what do they have to do with all this?
Simple....being that close to Linus Torvalds....he must have known what was going on at IBM.
A multi million dollar code review being done by Microsoft for us for free. Imagine, they could find thousands of flaws, publish the results and within three weeks we could go from 2.6.0-test9 to 2.8.0-secure !!! Go Bill!
Microsoft. But as usual, they've come to the premature conclusion that they are smarter and more able to defend themselves against the whole world than everyone else, and I expect that like usual, it'll backfire on them.
In recent years Caldera (Sco) has shown a desire to be the Microsoft of the 'nix world. They have flagrantly disregarded the community etc... These are all Microsoftish tactics. My own belief is that Sata...Microsoft noticed Sco and has put them up to the recent mischief promising great things. What Sco doesn't realize is Luci...Gates does not make mutually beneficial deals, he eats sou...Companies. MS knows Sco will fail. Their is only room for one hel...Software Monopoly.
As someone who just migrated from UnixWare (UnixWhore) 7.1.3 to RedHat Enterprise Server 3, I will say that they can not pay me enough to get off Red Hat. Our company uses a lot of old obscure technology in its custom applications. Setup of this stuff on AIX took years, on Unixware it took months, on Windows it failed. On Linux, It got started on Monday and entered test phase on Friday. It seems in 2 weeks I will probably put it in production (pending test results which look promising). Linux developers paid me in terms of actual implementation costs (cut down time = saved a bundle). Until Mi$cosoft can offer THAT type of incentive I politely decline.
Sorry for the lifted star wars quote. Anyway, Red Hat and others worked hard on the desktop side of Linux during which time the M$ marketing machine worked hard to convince people that Linux was a server only OS. Now by ditching the desktop Red Hat has turned the past few years worth of anti-linux on the desktop FUD into pro-linux in the datacenter advertisement. I think it is a smooth move. They now look committed to what MS (whom people oddly trust) says is their strength.
Rock on!
So the actual penalty comes out to about $10 per actual violation, reported or not.
Which means that hiring a telemarketing firm is going to be more expensive, to the tune of 10$ per violating call. Figure that most firms have had their lists significantly impacted by the DNC I am sure these calls will happen which is why on the whole telemarketing just became cost ineffective (or at least cost prohibitive for transactions under 300$)
It's the "market-facing/boss-facing" split that's the problem. Of course, an awful lot of small musicians are still boss-facing, but all the big guys are market-facing.
That is true. A good studio musician may make 50K a year. But he normally plays, not writes, the music. Also, name a piece of software that is used by millions and was written by one person. The closest example would be Linux first release.
I opened the first chapter and almost puked, it's all confusing and crap.
I agree and wanted to comment on the diagrams. I always look at the diagrams in the books at Barnes and Nobles to influence my purchase decisions. Well, these diagrams sucked major ass, but I thought...wow, this is probably an awesome book anyway. NOT! Do not buy "How to run viruses with or without Outlook". I still can't even get a single blip from Blaster out of my RH6.2 machine. Wine sux0rs if they can't even run a simple worm.
Don't exclude people from your little world, cause guess what, it ain't your world to exclude people from.
Uh, yeah. My world is my world to exclude people from. I could care less who reads slashdot but for someone who is not quote "the type" to go and blatantly insult anyone who does fit "the type" is a little bit pretentious. Obviously, the people who started this topic discussion had no clue of the real problem the smell from this stuff is.
Agreed on that. Go back to playing your Quake game while eating the McDonalds hamburger you have no respect for because you have no idea or comprehension where the meat your fat turd ass is digesting came from.
As I stated Jethro, I used to work for the USDA in ag research, so uh yeah you are not the exclusive knower of beef. I have never played and will never play Quake or any other glorifying violence game because as a former member of the US Army 82d Airborne I find them offensive.
Now, in all earnest thank you for dealing with the smell and slogging the swill and all the other things that you do so that I and all other readers of slashdot can eat our burgers just please respect that simply because we do not understand all about what you do that does not make us morons. Just makes us bad farmers
Why do you read slashdot? We are arrogant people with blinders on, we care only about techie geek stuff. I used to work for the USDA doing research related to stress hormones, now I am a techie geek and I to laugh at Prof. Farnsworths Smell-o-scope. If you feel so out of sync with us why are you here?
You have a lot of nerve. Why did you link directly to the forum site? They obviously can't handle the server load or the bandwidth, especially for screenshots.
Neat! A forum that doesn't scale well talking about a product that probably also won't.
What hype? Hardly anybody outside the tech world and non-geeks have any clue about what Longhorn is or really care.
Accountants and other non-tech users are being targeted with all sorts of interesting press releases etc... You didn't get any? I think that is because slowly the tech world is turning not against Microsoft but towards the idea that alternatives exist. I am betting that when Foghorn Leghorn (or whatever) is released the non-techies will be tripping over each other to get their companies 'standardized' on it. Then techies will be faced with enormous resistance to any resistance about adapting it.

Never miss a date! Hell, I wish I could get a date!

MS Developers get ideas from spam....

Even a dealer list of where to get one. Man, I'm tempted...
