    If porn is spilling into your browser it sounds to me like you need to sit further back from your computer. Just a thought.

    So if you removed OSX and installed A Linux variant that supported your system and Apple said you voided your warranty, you are OK with that if some piece of the hardware, say the graphics board, or the mouse port, fails? I wouldnt be cool with that.

    NarusInsight Secure Suite
    http://narus.com/products/index.html
    NarusInsight Secure Suite (NSS) enables carriers and service providers to detect any network attack, abuse or behavioral anomaly in real time and at core speeds, and then direct a variety of actions: to raise an alarm, send an SNMP trap, or even mitigate the attack. Traditional edge-based security solutions are insufficient for Next Generation Networks and IMS because of their limited visibility into network traffic and elements. They are aware only of partial information of traffic flowing through the single link of the network they are attached or listening to, and their basic statistical algorithms are able to detect attacks only at their last stage, for example large changes in the volume of traffic.

    If you have 52 pages of what appears to be "garbage" data, I can promise you that the garbage is only filtered. They know the complete URL, what time you started loading it, the name, type and size of image you loaded from the page, how long it took to transfer, the bandwidtth you used to transfer it, etc, etc.
    It is only "garbage data" on your bill.

    You forgot the most important point of the iPhone. Apples brillance decided it should be manufactured in China and for their brillance, the Chinese version is already available from your nearest web browser. I hope 90% of their sales goes directly to the chinese government owned business that retains third shift production and is going to sell the EXACT same product for 50% of the cost. I for one am waiting for them to open their shopping cart to US buyers.

    [V. Oracle: The Dream]

    '...I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me. Clearly yet I see
    the beckoning hand of the oracle as he stood at the summit of the staircase...'

    '...I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the pure spirit of man
    revealed in the lives and works of this world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and
    understanding as I saw a completely different way to life, a way that had been crushed
    by the Federation long ago. I saw now how meaningless life had become with the loss of
    all these things...'

    I wandered home though the silent streets
    And fell into a fitful sleep
    Escape to realms beyond the night
    Dream can't you show me the light?

    I stand atop a spiral stair
    An oracle confronts me there
    He leads me on light years away
    Through astral nights, galactic days
    I see the works of gifted hands
    That grace this strange and wondrous land
    I see the hand of man arise
    With hungry mind and open eyes

    They left the planet long ago
    The elder race still learn and grow
    Their power grows with purpose strong
    To claim the home where they belong
    Home to tear the Temples down...
    Home to change!

    2 problems. 1) Solaris 8 only comes with SSH1 which has vulnerabilities. 2) To get SSH2 for Solaris 8 you have to download a freeware build of OpenSSH, Zlib and OpenSSL. Im not saying anything is wrong with #2, but why hasn't Sun actually distributed a current SSH version for Solaris 8? Yeah Yeah, EOL. Blah blah blah. If Open SSH is fine for Solaris 9 & 10, it should have been good enough for Solaris 8 and Open SSH w/SSH2 has been out for a LONNNNNNNNNNNNG time. My .02.

    If you choose to read an article on the internet and choose to do something stupid like put an object into something you consider a black box and see what happens, YOU are personally responsible for the result of the act you have chosen to perform. Just because you are a moron doesn't make you any less responsible. Your perspective is the equivalent of thinking that hugging a tree will somehow save it from the elements in which it exists. Both are flawed. Ignorance itself may != stupidity but acting on said ignorance does. An ignorant fool is still an ignorant fool.
