Sure they could take them back, but there would be no point. Assuming they got back *all* the IPs from the companies on that list, they would get enough IPs to buy us maybe a few months at most.
I once borrowed an outdoor 13db antenna, the extra gain really didn't help much for anything but letting me see a few more APs. Since there are only 11 (or 14) channels, why not just try each one?
I could be wrong, but I think English is required for airline pilots. To me, this seems like cisco just wants to weed out the people who try to take the test after only taking a crash course.
Unless you consider buying 7200s to practice on cheating, I would say using dynamips is just another way to get some experience working with the ios. Downloading images on the other hand, is probably illegal.;)
From TFA The vulnerability gave him the power to transfer millions out of bank accounts worldwide.
How so?! I don't have millions, but I do run djbdns...
Overhyped? are you kidding? "Kaminsky Bug" is going to be a major hit once it hits movie theaters!
Seriously though, The problem is major and we have found a pretty good workaround for it, can we move on? Most sysadmins will patch for it and then wait for the full fix and then install that. With something like blaster, you get a few users that patch and the rest just letting it go. I was doing a packet capture a few months ago (I work for an ISP) and I still see some systems out there that seem to be infected.
On most of my systems, I only allow a few IP ranges access to port 22. It's not a perfect solution for all situations, but its pretty easy to set up and clears up the problem quite nicely. I also don't allow root to login through ssh, so somebody will have to guess a login/password combo, then they can work on guessing the su password.
I was paying full price for service and XM82 was one of the only stations I really listened to. One year they changed XM82 to "Special X" for a month, I nearly canceled. When they messed with it again, I gave the radio away with 5 months subscription left on it. I was willing to pay $130/yr for good service, but I'm really not interested in $77/yr for whatever they offer now.
This may be getting off topic, but I would use varchar anyway just in case I needed to use something different like a postal code. If integer is the way it has to be, why not use zerofill? this way if the field is left blank you have 00000 instead of a NULL. Maybe the best way to ask this question is to say that the problem is the leading zero is getting chopped off and ask for their opinion ways to solve it. What would an "old timer" with no knowledge of zipcodes answer to this question? Remember, when you're interviewing experienced people, they're also interviewing you to see if you are somebody they can work with.
I think the last patch was 1.7 GB, or about $2 at that rate. The Burning Crusade expansion was about $40 and unless you live near a shop that sold it, you likely spent more than $2 to go get it.
I agree, liability is quite important. So why not meet halfway? If you want linux, buy Red Hat Enterprise linux. If you want MySQL, then ask for approval to buy MySQL Enterprise. This way your company has a vendor to blame if things go badly and you get vendor support if you ever need it. Next year, you and your boss can decide if you want to renew your support agreement or not.
I seem to remember even simple source/destination access lists being a bad idea on border routers. I can't imagine what this would do to latency. I'm thinking this device might work similar to a high performance spam filter. It says it can handle encryption, but what if you send two equal sized packets each working as a one-time pad for each other? I'd love to see a machine that could break encryption on the fly.
I think most carrier grade routers should support ip6 already, or at least have a firmware update that will. Yes, IP6 addresses are 4 times longer but IP6 would allow us to use much better summary routes. The routing table might end up being not much bigger than it is now.
I agree, but I don't think this is a case of there being a few/8s that somebody forgot about. This seems like changing a/22 into a few/24s to try to free up some unused subnets. Anybody that thinks this is a good idea should not be allowed to touch a border router.
I think the way it'll happen is this:
A country such as China or India will run out of addresses. They will be the first to change over and start using NAT to reach the rest of the world. They'll finance the change by selling the ipv4 blocks to anybody that refuses to change. Finally there will be no ipv4 shortage because north america will be the only place using it.
is to use version numbers. Quite a few businesses seem to be going the microsoft way and just using the year instead of a version number. This way people will want to upgrade because nobody wants to use last year's version.
I think it depends who will be buying the software. I don't care what the version number is as long as there is an easy way to know what version you have. There are quite a few people though that will buy from company A instead of company B, simply because company A is at version 5.0 and company B is only at version 2.1.
I agree, but with Jack Thompson gone, who is going to promote these video games? I don't really keep up with the latest games, but anytime something good was about to be realeased, I'd hear about it because of JT.

What about the one John Connor used to hack into the ATM in Terminator 2?

Quake is also available, and runs quite well..
I'd use it, it would be perfect for a VMware ESX install where all your VMs are on a SAN setup.
Considering the popularity of all those "Fart" applications, I'm quite happy that people get tired of their iPhone apps quickly.
If we're talking about text messaging, I believe the correct spelling is "ur"

Maybe the time people spent "talking to their reps" would have been better spent on learning about the transition?

"Internet Routing Architectures" from Cisco Press. It's an older book, but I have yet to find a better book on the BGP routing protocol.
No kidding it has been overhyped.

But what counts as "Unauthorized impairment of a protected computer"?
DRM that stops your OS or drives from working properly?
No, because DRM is installed by corporations, not a person.
No we're talking about two different things here. DRM and DDoS attacks. Remember what happened to MediaDefender when they DoS'd a website?
Wait, nevermind...
