Warcraft 2 rocked, but 3 was everything 2 was, and prettier.
Note that I did not list World of Warcraft.
I never played Starcraft much. I did a little, but it just seemed like a Warcraft rip-off.
Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the _only_ game that I had trouble leaving for hours at a time. In my humble opinion, it is by far the best that has been.
I would include Psychonauts and Warcraft 3 to round out my top 3.
I agree. This article is FUD.
The problem the article claims is in the fact that it is desirable to restrict traffic to only that which is initiated from the inside. Of course protocols like FTP and BitTorrent will always have a problem with this whether it's IPv6 or IPv4. Such protocols are in direct conflict with the "internal initiation" paradigm.
I don't see the value of this article beyond, "Firewalls are suxx0rs!!".
Not sure if I'm feeding a troll, but that's an excellent idea. Since the current business soaks so much up in administration and passes so little on to the artists, let's go ahead and eliminate profits for anyone altogether. That'll fix it.
Thank you! I can't express how frustrated I get with this issue. If there is a technical issue to ban cell phones on an airplance, then do it. If the only reason is that it's "annoying", then the government should stay the hell out of it.
Responsible government is good government. Banning something because _you_ don't like it is irresponsible.
AUDIO_TS is almost always empty (I've never seen an AUDIO_TS folder with anything in it). I assume that's for audio DVDs. The video (and associated audio) is in the VIDEO_TS folder.
Have you tried the newest beta of MacTheRipper? Just curious.
In agreement with some of the other responses to your post, I know that when I'm running Logic with Ivory (50Gb of piano samples) and other virtual instruments simultaneously, I can't expect to have lots of other memory intensive tasks going at the same time.
The requirements we place on individual software packages have grown even more quickly than the technology.
Cruft? An injection mechanism being available is an "unpleasant substance"?
Perhaps you mean "crux"? This is Slashdot, so I suppose it's anyone's guess.
If your machine were used as a launch point to launch an attack against government systems or compromise sensitive hosts (to compromise voting systems perhaps) it could have a very adverse impact on you as the owner. Perhaps "valuable" is the wrong word in that compromisable systems are a dime a dozen. The impact of one system used in a well planned attack being compromised could be very large.
I maintain my stance that the original author of this thread has the wrong attitude towards the security of his/her systems. It's because of this attitude that botnets exist in the first place.
Being paranoid is trying to secure something nobody would want to tamper with.
Any system with a connection to the internet is a valuable target. Ask any hacker who uses such systems to launch denial of service attacks against SCO, Microsoft, et cetera.
If your system is vulnerable to known exploits and it's connected to the internet, it's no longer yours.
Not necessarily so. As I see it, humans have a finite grasp on the infinite. In other words, we are always bound by the range of numbers that we can express verbally or in written form.
Computers of course have this same limitation. A truly random number would likely not be able to be communicated.
Have the knocked system generate an SMS to a mobile phone with a one time password after one set of knocks. Then use that password in the payload of the packets of a second knock. Expire the password if it's not used in a specific timeframe.
Easy.
I think cutting the fiber would be easier for a man-in-the-middle (i.e. someone with direct access to tap a fiber link) looking to perform a DOS than it would be to interrupt the flow of photons on the link thereby changing their state and rendering the transmission unusable.
This solution is only a part of the C.I.A. model - striving to protect data (confidentiality and itegrity). It is not looking to insure availability.

Who needs bibles when you could put one of these up there?
