As seen in the Earthlink Crash (resulting from Carnivore malfunction) and mentioned in the report here, the use of non audited filtering devices would lead to a system that is unpredicatble and higly unstable.
Here is the USAToday article on the EarthLink crash caused by Carnivore.
EarthLink dodges FBI's Carnivore
ATLANTA (AP) - EarthLink Inc. said Friday it has reached an
agreement with the FBI to avoid future use of an electronic
surveillance device called Carnivore that disrupted Internet access for
some EarthLink customers earlier this year.
The Atlanta-based company,
which has about 4.2 million
subscribers nationwide, said it
had installed the snooping
software for the FBI at a data
center in Pasadena, Calif.,
earlier this year after it lost a decision on the matter in federal court.
When Carnivore wouldn't work with an operating system on the
company's machines, an older system was installed for the device,
which then led some servers to crash, EarthLink's director of
technology acquisition told The Wall Street Journal for a story in
Friday's editions.
''Many'' people were affected, Steve Dougherty told the newspaper,
although the company declined to say how many or where.
Dougherty did not return messages left at his office Friday.
Carnivore, which an FBI spokesman said was first used in the spring
of 1999, scans all incoming and outgoing e-mails for messages
associated with the target of a criminal investigation.
FBI spokesman Steven Berry said the device gives the agency ''a
surgical ability to intercept and collect the communications which are
the subject of a court order'' and ignores everything else.
EarthLink spokesman Kurt Rahn said the company and FBI officials
had agreed that EarthLink would collect such data in the future when
investigators obtain a court order.
''Basically, we reached a mutual agreement with the FBI that we
would be able to monitor and gather the information that they needed
ourselves,'' Rahn said. ''That way, they got what they wanted and we
were able to maintain the integrity of our network.''
Berry declined to confirm any such agreement or discuss at which
Internet service providers the agency has installed Carnivore. Berry
said the bureau is currently using the device, but he declined to say in
how many cases or where.
He said all Carnivore installations are done ''in close cooperation''
with the ISP, but he said that the FBI collects the data itself.
Rahn said the company has no dispute about following court orders to
provide customer information to law enforcement, but is concerned
when doing so compromises its operations.
''It wasn't necessarily anything that was terribly disruptive, but it was
more sort of the potential that it could have been worse,'' Rahn said
of the outage Carnivore caused.
''And basically since delivering e-mail and delivering the Internet to
our members is what we do, having that threatened is not going to
work for us,'' he said.
Seems like a lot of people are using phpnuke now. When I was trying to create a web log of myself I didnt see any clean slash like implementation that would interface with postgresql. My only option was to create my own web log. Sadly I've lost interest in this endevour. Maybe someone here might be interested in taking over the code and doing anything they wish with it? I work mainly with Unicode, so I had a revision of the code that did Unicode pretty well. The only drawback is that my application (named smoothlogger) lacks threading (due to political reasons). There is a pretty extensive admin interface and some nice tools. Everthing comes in a few tiny files:). And it fuses well with postgresql.
Enjoy. --
On a high latency network, services such as fpt and http would work amazingly. You'd be suprized by the number of countries serving their web sites via satellites. eg Dhivehinet in Maldives and so on. It's true, this would suck for quake and other online games. But a 400 ms is good enough even for telnetting. I've admined boxes hosted on satellite feeds for months (two way). True the latency shows, but it's not that big a deal.
Even with broadband applications (phone stuff). You only notice a slight gap in transmission (it's like those old cnn show's where the guy on the field hears the anchor a full second after he stops speaking).
I'm going through exectly what your going through, after moving from Arizona to IL, I dont even have access to my old school account and after months of getting annoyed i tried the same stuff you said and faxed several times, and today they send me this e-mail saying my licence was not legible on the fax! WTF! I am like this close to blowing these MF's out of earth. I called their tech support and the answering system hangs up on yoru saying it's busy serving other customers (it doesnt even put you on the freaking hold).
And their domain update crap is so outdated. It's hard to update anything there.
Congratz. I have been working for a WAP/WML Company for a while. One of the stumbling blocks of WAP was the restrictions WML imposed on style and compatiblity. Hopefully by moving to XHTML we would have a much more standard way of describing information to wireless devices and reduce the time needed for messy wireless hack jobs. And also this paves the way for WAP to become the defacto standard world wide. I now have more condifence in WAP than i-mode (we were looking into i-mode due to the limitations of WML). --
#That's some basic stuff to be blocked. These rules will block: ftp, telnet,
#smtp, finger, netbios, imap, socks, X11, netbus and Back Orfice. It will
#also create a syslog entry as logging (-l) has been enabled. You can add or
#remove ports as you want.
# got this bit from a security listing
Basically it blocks almost every kind of ICMP and any unwanted attempts by intruders and also blocks access to resources used only within our network. Eg: Our postgresql server and so on.. Also it logs any illegal activities.
Well, this is a good start. Perhaps now we can add some of the other things that gamers like - for
example an ability to change resolution and depth when not running as root.
Maybe you were not aware. But I find X to have the simplest and lest obstrusive ways of changing desktop resoultion. If you configured your X correctly have have a number of set resoultions defined as usable on your videocard/monitor combo, then you should be able to change resoltion by just pressting the keys ALT -/+ . Plus to increase, minus to decrease.
I was thinking about this whole napster thing. What if Napster went off and hosted in Havenco on the territory of Sealand? What forces would be able to bar them if they were based off Sealand? I feel this seems to be the only logical step Napster or a future derivative of that company could take to minimize all this legal fights with RIAA.
Havenco is also letting people who are proseucuted by their gov's host their sites free of charge. Very nice deal.
As stated in the specs page on linux. Each NIC was assigned a seperate CPU. (This is unlike the mindcraft experiment). Running them both on CPU/NIC aligned would give the most fair results.
Kimble made his first/. with his excellent personal site with a nasty flash cartoon of Bill Gates and his destruction. Over time we've seen him and his company flashed all over/. on a number of occasions. Also (If i'm not mistaken), he used to be a/. user not too long ago. Excellent work I should say and wish him the best. Everthing seems to be going mobile nowdays, you can find almost anything that has been made mobile enabled. Take for instance ordering pizza on a mobile phone! Cool stuff. Wap is the way to go! Enjoy. --
One of my friend dragged me to the premier of this Movie. I had high hopes for it specially when I saw John Woo's name in the credits. But sadly I'd have to say that the action was slightly offbase, MI-2 seem lack the heart pounding Bang-bang that I expected out of Woo. There does seem to be a higher concentration of action at the end of the movie but this does not go well with the melodrama in the rest of the movie. Yes it's a great movie to take a girl to (since I can see several reasons as to why a girl would like this love story over the rest of this summer attractions (even over dino)). The plot in this movie seem to be weak, a virus (ok close your ears if you have not seen it) that could kill all of mankind has been made at a biotech firm (they also made an antidote). The bad guys want the virus or the antidote (cause if they spread the virus and then sold the antidote they'd make tons of $$'s) and the good guys try to stop the bad guys. This movie has a similar tone as some of the later James Bond offerings (specially the one where they send a nuclear submarine off the cost of Turkey -- suposdely to vanquish the 'i kiss you' virii). Overall I give it a low 3 out of 10 and point people to other great summer attractions (Gladiator) and hope the rest of the Summer action movies has more action than B-rated love lines. I have high hopes for X-men and Titan AE --
Due to this bug in Mozilla, any web page that has a form and uses a charset that is other than ISO-8859-1 would not work. I hope the severity of this bug is increased ASAP and the fix moved to something other than M19. This bug is known to effect Unicode pages that have forms as well. --
