Ok. I figured it out. When I used a fresh profile, the mouseover does work. My profile in FireFox 0.8 had TabBrowser Extensions installed and that extension by itself prevented the mouseover popup and that is why I never saw anything when mousing over.
Some people are behind ISPs that block ports 80 and 443 which is partly why some people who regularly visit port scanning sites didn't see those ports as being open.
Well with sha1 hashes that wouldn't be too much of a problem since the site could dish those out and the clients can use that to verify that the content indeed is the same as what the site says coming from untrusted parties.
Imagine if a plugin for web browsers advertised their support for "protocol/torrent" when you visit www.site.com sort of like:
GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.site.com Accept: protocol/torrent,text/html,text/plain,image/png,im age/jpeg,image/gif
Then the server, that wishes to have requests distributed would respond sort of like this:
HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND Content-Type: protocol/torrent;text/html Location: torrent://www.site.com:6969/03cfd743661f07975fa2f1 220c5194cbaff48451
Where the torrent:// URI would point the person's browser to the tracker to contact and what is after that is the sha1 hash of the content that the client can use to verify the integrity of what it downloaded from potentially untrusted third parties. As long as a user sits at a web page, the plugin could "seed" for others who wish to view the same page. When the user leaves the page, it would stop seeding that content immediately.
Me: Why does my router spontaneously reboot multiple times when being scanned by Nessus internally?
Tech support's response:
Dear user,
Thank you for choosing SMC Networks, Inc.
From your mail I understand that the SMC 7008 ABR
router spontaneously reboots multiple times when being scanned by a
vulnerability scanner called "Nessus"
When 'Nessus' is activated continuous packets are flooded into all the
ports on the WAN side. The router thinks that there is some sort of
intrusion
into the router and reboots.
This is the reason why the SMC 7008 ABR
router spontaneously reboots multiple times when being scanned by a
vulnerability scanner .

You are forgetting that peers are generating the results and relaying results from other peers. Nothing stops a rogue person from modifying a gnutella client to look for certain searches and then prevent them from going beyond their peer and simply send back garbage results with hundreds/thousands of fake sources for the fake file.
You are probably right, since that is exactly what I use those programs for (I never personally used the third). Scanning windows partitions for viruses from a good old System Rescue CD. But it doesn't eliminate the possibility that viruses could be made for linux (yes, even if most programs don't auto-execute). If the same people who open arbitrary attachments and follow whatever instructions are in the email from complete strangers even when there are complicated steps involved and the particular virus they are opening manually doesn't auto-execute in windows, migrate them to linux and what will they continue to do?

What is also sad is that some home routers are also setup terribly by default. Such as one from SMC that had remote administration enabled by default! So much for "putting your machine behind a NAT router to keep it secure" when it defaults with a gaping security hole that if most users don't specifically do something about this, they could still end up being compromised behind their router due to it allowing anyone to remotely login and change its settings. Using that gaping hole, an attacker could and still attack computers behind the very thing they thought was protecting them.
Interesting. Sometimes when explorer locks up for me and I kill it, it never reloads until I alt-tab to one app I already have open and use their File -> Open dialog to run "Explorer.exe" from the Windows folder. If I didn't have any apps open at the time *sometimes* it reloads, and sometimes I just have nothing but wallpaper until I forcefully reboot.
This feature is actually enabled by default in SuSE Linux. So, all someone has to do is pass by a SuSE Linux box and hit the power button and as long as the box supports ACPI, it does a graceful shutdown of the machine and powers it off. If the machine doesn't support ACPI or has problems with ACPI that requires you to leave ACPI turned off, it instantly shuts it off when the power button is pressed.:(

Ugh. If that turns out to be true, then the only way to be sure if anything burned to a CD properly with Nero is to hash it first on your hard drive, then burn the stuff + hashes onto the CD then re-read the content and reverify the hashes.
That is where md5/sha1 sums are handy. One could create a separate file full of md5/sha1 sums of all files included on the CD and burn that on each CD. When you reburn, reverify the md5/sha1 sums each time. They shouldn't ever change unless a bit flipped somewhere.

That has to be area specific. Roadrunner in my area does not block port 25 outgoing or incoming.
or if you are bored, use:
dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/hda
and just wiggle your mouse a little for entropy.
Are you kidding? Even SMC does stupid things with their routers (although I am not sure if it applies to their wireless ones).

Yes, I have javascript enabled. The mouseover still doesn't popup on me in FireFox 0.8. When I do mouse over nothing happens.
I am using FireFox 0.8 and the mouseover popup didn't get through for me.
I liked that ruleset too!

Like f-prot, Clam Antivirus, and Vexira Antivirus?

And that kind of spyware isn't classified as a virus or trojan by antivirus vendors because......"the user consented to it" and a corporation made it?
which doesn't work at all in Windows 98.
Does ghost support restoring an image if the partition size changed (for a linux dual-boot install) but without wiping out linux?

Is this at the expense of battery life?
So to sum it up, one layer only has to worry about the layer directly above it and the layer directly below it. Right?

Nero 5.5 supports verification of what you burned.
ah. Thanks for the info!
