It means that the other side didn't even show up. It also means that the court didn't bother looking into the merits of the case. One of the claims could have been that the operators of Spamhaus were little green men from Pluto and no one would even notice.
No precedent has been set. None.
The court didn't decide that the claimant was right, or that spamhaus was doing anything wrong. The one and only thing that the court gave an opinion on was whether or not the defendant appeared.
This article is wrong. The three major considerations are cost, cost and cost.
Commercial SSL certs are 100% scam. CAs pay browser vendors for the ability to extort money from website owners.
My grandmother doesn't know that Verisign exists, nor AddTrust, nor any other CAs. She particularly doesn't know how or why Verisign checks a certificate before signing it, and she wouldn't understand the differences in the way that any other CA does it either. The one and only one thing that she does know is that the error that pops up if a site tries to use a certificate that hasn't paid Microsoft a fat wad of cash confuses her.
If you just woke up from the early 90s and still have some misplaced faith in the SSL CA system, by all means, read this. If you are a consultant pushing a CA that gives you kickbacks, give this to your customers. If you just want people to be able to click your https links, get the cheapest certificate you can find, no one will ever know the difference.
Damn, that is a cheap cluster. $25 per 10,000 machines. I wonder what kind of turnover you'd have if you used them for things unlikely to draw attention to yourself (that is, if you don't use them to DDOS IRC lamers)...
Yup, that was OWS. You actually could delete the original file, but once it got overwritten, or if it wasn't available, you couldn't deOWS it any more.
Back in the day, I figured out what was going on when I took a disk to another machine, couldn't restore the file. I then tested the disk in the machine I had made the archive on, and it worked fine. It was a good hoax. We all got a good laugh out of it.
Back in '99 and 2000, we used to plan for a week to make the run from Qeynos to Freeport on a Saturday with under-20 level toons. The whole Saturday.
I wouldn't necessarily want to go back and do it again, but the new people stepping through PoK will never have the same experiences that I had. They will never see the statues carved into the mountainside as a reward for successfully making the first half of a harrowing run. They will never step off the boat in Kunark and die without binding on the new continent. Their Everquest is less tedious, but not the same.
I don't think most people would agree with the following: "So, does Slackware matter? Simply put, YES. Slackware matters because Slackware IS Linux." The reality is that many people who are experimenting with Linux for the first time now use Fedora or Ubuntu.
I think you may have missed the point of that quote that you used. When he says "Slackware IS Linux", he doesn't mean that Slackware is the biggest, or most used, or whatever distribution around. Instead he is saying that it is plain; raw.
When you master running a Slackware box, you've learned UNIX. When you master running a Fedora box (to pick one example at random), you've learned how to use Fedora's tools.
Haha. I was working in a call center once (cable modem support), and one of the IT guys "busted" me for browsing the arXiv.
I got called in to a meeting with the head of my department, the head of HR, and the IT monkey in question. Once I stopped laughing, I pointed out the ".gov" at the end, and that lanl was the Los Alamos National Laboratory website. My story checked out (15 seconds on a browser), so I went back to work. For the rest of my time at that place, I never again heard even a whisper about going to questionable or non-work-related websites.
I think they were kinda intimidated by having a phone monkey reading high level physics papers too.
Forensic DNA is chopped into little pieces, and then drawn out into a long strip. The strip is then scanned, and the pattern of dark and light places is unique to your pattern of DNA markers, and can be quickly and easily compared to strips made from other samples. It can also be stored digitally in a few kilobytes or so.
Your gene profile is either terabytes in size, if they just sequence the entire thing, or megabytes in size, if they only record the notable genes.
Insurance companies can no more find a good excuse to deny your coverage based on the light and dark bands of a forensic DNA preperation than they can from the light and dark squiggles of your fingerprint.
Null route any ASs that still allow spoofed egress. (Welcome to 1998)
My network sure as hell doesn't allow any packets to leave that claim to be from an IP that isn't on our network. Does yours? It shouldn't.
I'm pretty sure our upstreams will blackhole any packets emitted on our fiber that don't belong to our ranges too. Yours should as well (if you are an exception to this rule, you'll know).
After that, it is only a matter of watching the managed switches. They'll alert us to MAC collissions faster than you can say "shallow grave".
What the article fails to mention is that is the very speed rate @Home offered before going into bankruptcy. The cable companies formerly partnered with @Home reduced access speeds when they resumed their own services in the wake of the @Home implosion.
@Home folded because they are completely worthless. It is easily within the capability of any cable company to run a cable modem ISP. Once that secret got out, @Home's days were numbered.
@Home was a great idea at first. They had the skills to run an ISP, so they rented themselves out to cable companies. However, the barrier to entry dropped very fast, and all the cable companies realized that they would be more effecient without @Home.

Yeah, this one messes me up too.
Current is amps. Power is watts.
Heat comes from power expended. Power spent in a wire is related to the amperage of the flow (the raw number of electrons moving) and the resistance of the wire, but not the voltage (the amount of force they are being pushed with).

The solution is pretty obvious, really: STOP DOING THAT! Stop granting software patents, and then stop enforcing them.

I think you've found the difference between "Playing the stock market" and investing.
Speaking of unknown compression programs, does anyone remember OWS?
I had a good laugh at that one when I figured out how it worked, way back in the BBS days.

Slashdot relies on user submitted stories.
This one was submitted by a user named "i4u" and the links were to (drum roll please), i4u.com.
You visit a shitty site on the way to the press release, and i4u gets impressions on their banners.

The SPG model differs only in a tweaked boost controller (at least under the hood. It also had different wheels, ground effects, springs, etc).
Uh, I think this guy just invented signed email.
I will admit that I lost interest when the author started dropping numbers I had recently seen in This article.
If you insist on bringing up ZPF, at least put a credible link next to your crackpot link.
According to the article, it really was NASA. Unless there were about 30 typos in the story...
With Apache serving nearly 70% of all sites ( according to Netcraft), I suspect it would be hard for Microsoft to lock much of the web.

Anyone care to tell me why the DMV has an office for computer forensics and investigations?
