AusCERT aren't the Australian National CERT although they have in some ways been the de-facto CERT for some time. That position is now taken up by CERT Australia who are working closely with AusCERT and taken up some of their work. If you've got problems contacting them, send me some contact details and I'll try and help you out - I know some of their staff. AusCERT have been an incredibly useful source of information on compromised systems on my customer's networks.
One problems is that many of the domains appear to point towards servers running virtual hosts and hosting legitimate sites on the same IP address. We've been looking at data on our network and tracking down these infections based on IP address brings a lot of false positives. You really do need either proxy logs, or logs of DNS queries to find out the domain that's being contacted.
Something in the summary doesn't make sense. "Free WiFi" implies that this was a service provided by the coffee shop but the rest of the article reads as if it was simply an open wireless network that the coffee shop was using for their business. From reading the article it appears to be the later case and the man simply assumed that because the network was open the cafe was providing it for their customers.
Pigeons? People theses days don't know they're born. Back in the day we were still waiting for pigeons to evolve. We had an archaeopteryx and I can tell you... we were grateful for it.
They have one of those teenaged repellent devices at my local shop. It's been several years since I was a teenager and I can hear the noise perfectly well. It's not enough to stop me going into the shop if I really wanted to but it's sufficiently annoying that I now spend my money elsewhere. It doesn't really appear to have had too much effect on the teenagers who hang around on the street either - they don't have anywhere else to go.
I went to see Terry Pratchett speak at the Oxford Union in December and someone asked him if there were anythought of films in the works. He didn't confirm or deny that he was working on anything just that there was something he didn't want to talk about.
Why does someone always come up with this argument? I think it's very much possible that he's doing it because he's passionate about ballooning and may get some enjoyment out of setting a record. In the same way that people climb mountains, cycle around the world or collect belly button fluff there doesn't need to be a practical application or technology to be improved behind every human endeavour.
I may be wrong but I don't believe the visual examination shows the presense of helicobacter itself. It'll show ulcers which indicate a helicobacter infection. You can have a helicobacter and not show any visual signs. I guess the tissue samples are the definitive test:-)
Well, sportsfan, your Dr. Barach is an ass. H. Pylori is not easy to diagnose...requires an endoscopic procedure.
It hasn't required an endoscopic procedure for some time as it can now be detected through antibodies in a blood sample. I've had one only a few months ago. I presume that an endoscopy would primaily be used to investigate the damage that it had caused and not purely as a diagnostic test.
I've heard John Rhys-Davies in person speak about his leaving sliders. It was several years ago and so I'd probably not even try and quote what he actually said whilst I was present, the gist of it was that he left because although he loved the concept of the series he saw it already going downhill before he decided to leave. I think he's been quite public about this and I managed to find this quote.
"I like SF. I love intelligent SF," Rhys-Davies says in his deep basso voice. "When you come across good writing, and I think 'Scorpion' was finely written, it's a wonderful thing. I had just come through a period where the contractual nature of my job obliged me to take scripts that frankly wouldn't get past Writing 101. We had the most wonderful series concept with Sliders, but we did everything that had been done before and we did it every damned episode. We did Species. We did Tremors. We did Twister. We did War of the Worlds. We did The Island of Dr. Moreau. It was out of control, just out of control.
"I think Tracy did a nice job early on. We had our differences and we fought occasionally. In the end, Sliders wasn't the worst experience I ever had. I was just disappointed. Again, I love SF. I'm a passionate believer in Sliders. The series could have been great. The public always understood the of Sliders. The public understood that you could go anywhere in the galaxy. The writers, though, would try to graft a Law and Order story, or something they had done or seen before, onto Sliders and just make the characters work around it."
This is similar to an early security flaw in windows though I forget precisely which Windows versions it was, 95 and earlier I suspect.
It was possible to write a program that would autorun from an inserted CD and copy the screen saver password file to a floppy from where it could be later cracked at leisure.

Donald Knuth has published a book and a date has been set for the release of Duke Nukem Forever? It's all too much.

I read all my BBC stories on Slashdot you insensitive clod. Since I never RTFA, I never visit bbc.co.uk. QED
That's it, I'm leaving the Internet. Forever.

I think you mean libelious.
The Queen you treasonous clod.
After all, it'd be so easy to find a PC that didn't have any components made in China. Where's the sarcasm tag? :-)

Is anyone waiting to see how long it is before Sun and the Niagra falls?

Security experts recommend you don't speak the name of the key you're hunting for as you type your password with a single finger.
me too!
It's okay. I've read that this gene is never passed on to a subsequent generation.
Except that someone might have noticed their Windows 95 system being rebooted... oh *wait* :-)
