I have a bunch of IIS servers behind a linux box running Apache as reverse proxy. It filters all malformed URL's and so far no hits by any worm.
This can be a pretty good solution to all these corps stuck with ASP sites while they migrate to JSP.
The Samba team should work on their own "variant" of samba and develop drivers to all systems including MS. I mean, instead of reverse-engineering the PDC protocol, develop your own Open Source implementation of it including a client for MS OS's.
What do you guys think: should he stay for the hearing or escape someway back to Russia?. I think he can ask for asylum or something over an Russian embassy.
If he stays is going to be a long way...
He can escape as a sign of protest but I guess that will hurt hackers' image even more.
Since we can't increase the technological costs of spam, the only good way to make spam more costly to the sender is to regulate it.
If MTAs can restrict the ammount of emails from same source to no more than X emails a minute this will make spammer's life way harder. This restriction should be enabled by default in all new releases of MTA software.
Authentification should be required to send unrestricted emails through your MTA, and big ISPs should charge for unrestricted access to their MTA.
SPAM is free to send, we have to make it more expensive. Spammers will have to charge more to send spam making their customers think twice about it.
I wonder why we just don't implement rules in our MTA's to not allow more than 10 or so emails per minute from the same source (domain or ip). Administrators will have the option to add some list of domains or IP's allowed to bulk-email to allow mail-lists.
I think the next sendmail/postfix/whatever release should come with such a rule by default.
In case of big ISP's they should force POP auth or something to allow relaying and, if somebody sends spam they JUST CHARGE HIM an insane ammount of money for each spam sent.
He didn't mention mail hoaxes. There is one of the best ways to harvest "live" email addresses.
I wonder why the mail hoax sites don't emphasize this fact.
"New Mexico Attorney General Patricia Madrid said in a statement. "I am no longer persuaded a breakup remains appropriate or will ultimately be ordered by the courts. It is obvious Microsoft will continue to resist attempts to require this remedy. It is time to settle this case and move forward."
So, if I am a serial killer in New Mexico I will be released since I am no longer killing people?
But seriously folks, even nasa's new iniative of cheaper, smaller missions still cost in the hundreds of millions of dollars and seems to fail every other time. No wonder they're having "financial trouble". Hell, if I had that much money and wanted someone to get me in space... I'd make damn sure they knew the differences between metic and standard (*rolls eyes*... how the hell did rocket scientist mess that up???).
NASA got an unlimited budget to meet the goal of landing a man in the moon and they did it using plain and simple brute force (huge and inefficient rockets). The problem is, they got used to have unlimited resources is the only way they work.
The whole point of the article about Japan's space program is that it's being done cheaply and efficiently. It's not that they're using money they are saving by not having a military - it's using a small amount of money wisely. That has nothing to do with having or not having a military.
I think there is actually a benefit in not having a military... nobody comes to take over the project because of "National Security" reasons.
Media is power, you can destroy people with it, control a goverment, you can even elect presidents. The internet can take that power away from them, and they are working hard to avoid that.
Before the internet all we could do was to print flyers, march in a public place with signs or run around naked in protest hoping some local media will show and cover the history. Now we publish a website and we get our point heared worldwide. They cannot allow that, they don't want you to run a server in your dsl line, you can use their server but following their guidelines. They want to control the content so you will only find the chewed material they want you to find.
That is not a valid excuse, my vcr (cheap $100 JVC) sets its clock automatically from local's PBS when you first plug it in and keeps it updated. So does my TV.
There is no excuse to a Tivo not to work fully as a VCR without subscription. They are leaving out a big market share somebody else is going to take with his own Tivo clone.
I was thinking about buying one until I got to this article, I had no idea the thing didn't work as a VCR if you don't pay a subscription... it doesn't make any sense and if their business model is to subsidize boxes, they are going straight to hell.
Lots of readers here probably have too much education and too much of an ability to sift between emotion and fact (oh--wait--this is/.) to get themselves past disqualification from most jury selection. For that reason, it's not an issue that would come up often in our current justice system.

The Open Source proponents of depliticizing the movement and making it open to business is failling. Everyone is coming off as a hippie communist looking to take stuff from others.
IMHO, I don't think it is actually forcing everybody to open source but open standard. They want you to run their and only their client. It is a matter of control. Once they get the monopoly they will probably start charging for the client or maybe per minute of use... who knows. They will force you to upgrade your client once a year to keep cash flowing in. We've seen this before (Micro$oft, Realplayer, etc.)
No signal, not device. If you do not put a GPS antena on the side of your house - or in some other way give the device a clear view of the signals, none of your toys will work. It's in your best interest to not tamper with this system, once in place.
I don't see how come somebody could pull something like this and force everybody to buy it if they don't have a Microsoft like kind of monopoly.
that the ballots were messed up, and they arne't going to fix that.
Buchanan got some of the votes intended for Gore and that might be enough to swing it. Seems kind of suspicious considering who runs that state...
First CNN shows GWB in an hotel room talking about Florida not decided yet, about 10 minutes later the networks changes Florida status back to "too close to call"... about an hour later I see in FOX a reporter from Austin talking about some "computer problem" in Florida. Gore was about 500.000 ahead but when the computer came back Bush is ahead for about 500.000... at that minute, I don't know why I started remembering what I readed one day before in the votescam website...
I kept watching the networks for some time and I think anchor's faces said it all and they were too tired to hide it...
... I have this sneaking suspicion that M$ and the media will use this incident to talk about how bad all those "hackers" are...
Well, conspiracy theorists say when the government wants a law to control you more, they create a problem to justify that "solution"... and that new law to declare hacking illegal comes to my mind...
Come on guys,
If you are a tech with 35+ years and still working is because you really love your work or you are a loser.
With all the money techs are getting paid, after 10+ years you are supposed to be with us having a piña colada here in Hawaii, or maybe loosing all your money in a Fucked Company.

Unless the subject just arrived from South America: In third world countries like Chile, you have to show up at work wearing a suit.
(I showed wearing a suit to my first interview at Dell, Austin).
