You're correct.. It was a failure of my family company (who designed the faulty guidance systems) so I should have known better. They did the Pershing II, the Minuteman II and had a hand in the failed Polaris refit. No wonder we sold that division to General Dynamics..
Portscan me from a NT 4.0 box and watch yourself in the mirror;)
Seriously.. Take a look at the Samba docs; They tell you (pretty much) how to do it. Sniff the box's NETBIOS name and make sure to assign both the proper destination subnet and the proper destination domain when invoking smbclient..
While I have never seen the face of a receipient, I know it has been good enough to make more than one cable modem user unscrew the coax and go dead, and make several masq'ed services on T1 lines go dead as the referenced workstation powered off..
Only works on NT boxen with Messenger on, but anyone dumb enough to try to hack a PIX firewall on multipoint PPP is also dumb enough to leave it on. (It's in the default install)
A few friends and I were sitting around BS'ing about this very subject some weeks back. From what I gleaned, things have gotten progressivly better since Vietnam, when intel was to be considered correct as a last recourse only, through Panama, where the intel was judged to be correct if and only if it made absolute sense, to Desert Storm, where intel was 100% correct and stating different meant you got branded..
The stuff they pull never ceases to surprise me, unfortunatly. I always assume worst case because that's all they have been historically good for, and they hit new lows all the time..
After an unintentional mid-eighties nuclear escalation: "If this is what it means to be under the United States nuclear umbrella, I think we'd rather go it alone"
After a test firing of a Minuteman-II rocket, due for installation in nearby countries as per request, went bad due to a misaligned gyro: "We will not stand to have these things near our state. You militants have to know that the days of whomever draws first wins have been over for a lifetime' [exact quote, bad translation]
After a military exercise in the Pacific allegedly 'locked on' to a civilian aircraft flying in restricted airspace: "If they are allowed to continue this brash course of action, not only will we speak out against it we will rally others to our cause [total offensive disarmament]'
The Swiss shoot off their mouths faster than Clint Eastwood can draw that.357 of his. They engage in the worst sort of mouthy threat, backed by hot air and vitrolic innuendo. I refer to them as cowboys because they are as likely as Ronnie 'The Cowboy Diplomat' Raygun to shoot off their mouth with threat.
Wouldn't be the first time the CIA has intentionally given 'bad' intel to the DoD. They've done it a few times to my knowledge: Panama(Wrong locations of strategic ground targets. US soldiers died.), the Phillipines (They didn't 'know' about the medical students; They were 'inconsequential'.), not to mention Iran-Contra, where they lied to the DoD, the FBI, and Congress under oath..
I've seen your 'work' for a couple days now, and I must say it is constantly in the top 10% of the normal 'Offtopic' and 'Troll' variety.. Let us all know when you hit +1 with a deliberate haiku, eh?
1 in 29 million isn't such good odds if it lands on a citizen of a potentially 'unfriendly' country. Shit, every time we go to an alert condition for testing or exersize we have half a dozen nations pissing on the US and calling names in open UN assembly! Imagine how bad it would look for it to come down on the Chinese or even the damn Swiss (Not to knock the Swiss. Nice people, fine country, but your representation makes the rest of y'all look like cowboys.And any percieved knock against the Chinese stands. China sucks.)
Bob Seger, Queen, Led Zeppelin, the Stones and Beatles happen to be the geek favs around here..

Being glued to MS isn't by itself evil, and you can do some pretty nifty stuff with ASP, despite what you have heard on Slashdot...
What the question really boils down to is 'are you willing to fight for the best system for you to do the job with, regardless of vendor'... While not a web developer (Although I was one, briefly) I generally don't care what is actually calling the shots as long as they get called on time and consistantly so. I'm sure the manegerial staff (And the 'heavy-hitter wioth a MS pref) don't really care either, so long as you can show them the why and why not. They're just used to that 'Microsoft thing', and in their mind the world's most valuable company can't be wrong..
But there are fewer and fewer exploits in the 'stable branches' For crying out loud, there are currently two activly patched stable trees and one unstable! I'd doubt you could even find a working exploit in 1.2.xx or 2.0.xx!! (Unlike Windows 95, which is of the same vintage, and still has some nagging exploits from as far back as 1997.)
BSD and Debian are different. They've been sitting in 'beta' forever, feature frozen, much like their commercial counterparts. The same commercial counterparts who can't keep their numbers below a known unstable..
And all those counting on the new kernels to be bug free are fools. You need secure, use the LAST stable branch.
This breaks down the # of known vunerabilities, not the number of unpatched ones. Linux is open source, and new exploits are pointed out, discussed, and patched almost daily. Searching the source is the easiest way to find an exploit, so what I'd like to know is why NT/95 show equivalent numbers? There must be far, far more potential exploits for them.
Analog assures you an infinite number of data points. Digital limits you to the precision of the A/D doing the initial recording. Any finite number is eclipsed by infinity!!

They had 100K subscribers, right? If it costs a mil to keep them up, and another mil and change to run them, then everyone pays $30 a month, less than my current cellular bill, and they turn a healthy profit.
I have to admit, I have been known to retaliate. But I draw the line at actual harm; If they've portscanned me or played funny with my mailserver, I'll sent them the compliment of malformed packets likely to halt their Windows box. If I see NT on the other end, they get a nice popup 'Touch the box and die' courtesy of Windows Messaging and SMB. If they've ICQ spammed me more than once, they get a few hundred spoofed messages, randomly sent on a crontab.
Annoying at worst, and a deterrant to 98% of the skript kiddies. The other 2% are the determined ones, and I just change IP. They'll spend all night looking for the me again, bent on revenge they can't get.
And what if I get the wrong person/box? Whoop. A Windows box froze, or they got an odd popup message. Like that never happens in the course of normal operation...
No. What you're comparing is not the binary itself, but the output. With a reference binary, I can encode the exact same wav file with each encoder (the 'stock' and my 'tweaked') and keep hacking until the output is negligibly different.. (a bit here or there)
Besides, there are twenty platforms long and thirty patchlevels wide of space the MD5 sums would have to cover, plus variations for the include libs, the processor type, and static vs dynamic..
That's exactly what I think.. Long hours in front of a PC, the generic boredom that comes from the endless tirade of [l]users asking the same questions, the caffiene-inspired delusions..
Sure, the source has been left online, but without the binary for comparison how do you know if the compiler didn't skew it? MP3 encoding is a tricky business, and I have seen more than one 'properly' compiled copy of BladeEnc give me garbage for output, due to little compiler ideosyncracies. You need either a binary reference or a audio reference to compile BladeEnc from source, and the audio reference can even be tricky.
I used to have a real LCD display on an old 386 laptop.. When the polarized plastic layer started to come off, I took to wearing a pair of cheap sunglasses in lieu of the polarized film.
The MPAA are the evil bastards concerned with Linux DVD. The RIAA is the other bunch of evil bastards. (the ones trying to sue Napster into the ground.) I know they're both evil, and bastards, and suing the shit out of everyone in sight, but try to keep them straight.

It's not the license that matters; It's the company that is enforcing it. A company can choose to not enforce any clause they like without dilutation of later claim, but they can't expect to go adding clauses later. (see the WA 'click-wrap' license case; Dissenting opinion, for explaination).
Hence you get licenses full of CYA clauses that all but take away your right to use it.
