  1. Re:Also check out: - DO NOT CHECK OUT h4xx! on Buy a Piece of Acclaim · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why people think this is funny or cool is beyond me. And why someone modded the post informative is also beyond me. Firefox "prevented 5973 popups" on that site. In addition, it's just a goatse.cx picture.

    AVOID.

  2. Better way to limit traffic on DDoS Extortion Attempts On the Rise · · Score: 1

    A better way is to use iptables to limit the amount a traffic an IP is allowed. For example:

    iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --syn -m limit --limit 1/s -J ACCEPT
    iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,ACK,FIN,RST RST -m limit --limit 1/s -J ACCEPT
    iptables -A FORWARD -p icmp --icmp-type echo-requist -m limit --limit 1/s -J ACCEPT
    iptables -A INPUT -p all -m limit --limit 1000/hour --limit-burst 1000

    This would work for all incoming ports, not just apache. Having small pages is not going to help. Throwing more hardware at the problem is a bandaid.

  3. bigevilmegacorp.com shows Firefox at 96.4%! on Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend · · Score: 1

    http://bigevilmegacorp.com

    FireFox 96.4 %
    MS Internet Explorer 1.7 %
    Unknown 1.7 %

    Our conquest to take over the world, nah galaxy starts here, with IE.

    Okay, so it's just a start of a site and 2 out of the 3 of us use Firefox only. My fiance is into statistics not me, so I will consider this valid data. ;)

  4. Re:Information Theory on Hydan: Steganography in Executables · · Score: 1

    It's been years since I coded in 80x86 assembler, but I do remember that it does have a carry flag. This flag is set by some interrupt calls to pass success or failure of the operation such as open file.

    If memory serves me, it can also be used when a register crosses from 0xFFFF into 0x0000 or vice versa.

  5. Re:An important difference on Linux vs. Windows: What's The Difference? · · Score: 1

    > I can download and install a Windows utility more quickly than I can build and install a Linux package.

    wget (url) ; rpm -Uvh (filename)
    apt-get (filename)
    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Package::Module';

    No clicking buttons to keep the installer going.

    Seems like unix has windows beat there. Not to mention Lindows' "one-click-install" feature.

  6. Re:Predicted, but did anyone care? on Computer Pioneer Bob Bemer Dies · · Score: 1

    > Well, it was! Now, what happens when the number of seconds since 1970 rolls over the maximum digit for an int? We move from 32 bit integers to 64 bit integers. And that needs to happen before January 19th, 2038. From there, we can ignore it for eons.

  7. Re:What about readability? on Searching for the Best Scripting Language · · Score: 1

    Are you serious? Perl and PHP are pretty close. Very close, in fact.

    [-------]
    for($i=0; $i<100; $i++) { doSomething(); }
    [-------]

    So what language was that written in? If you answered PHP, you are right. If you said Perl you are right. Get the point? Granted, you can do a lot of wierd things with Perl. But that is where the power comes in. There is more than one way to do everything.

    How did that post get modded informative?
