To be honest, I'm rather ambivalent about the constant bickering/fighting/posturing between certain countries and Israel. However, based what I've seen of Israel's reaction to overt threats in the past, I can't imagine that they'll allow this to go on for much longer. I suspect the US has been putting an enormous amount of pressure on them to not conduct an air raid(s) to take out the various facilities. That's not going to be enough to prevent a confrontation for much longer.
Well, on one side you have a county of war-mongering, religious fanatics and on the other side you have a country of war-mongering, religious fanatics.
You see the difference now?
But we're a country of war-mongering, religious fanatics that have the illusion of a democracy, and our leader (contrary to what people say about the new guy) is not a megalomaniac like Ahmadinejad.
Define "everyone," because I can think of some pretty scary scenarios in which "everyone" has nukes.
Everyone. Everybody should get one. I'll keep my nuke in my living room and put a round glass top over it and use it as a coffee table. It'll be a good conversation piece. Oh, what's that? You have a headache and some clumps of hair are falling out of your head? No worry, lets move out onto the patio where I keep my smallpox vials...
You're forgetting that the savings would be immediately put back into executive salaries.
And it's us, the computer janitors, who would have to retrain everybody and have to work around the quirks of all new systems that were replaced by working ones. Wonderful!
Red hat is open source, but not free. They're talking trash about 'freeware'. Just sayin'
RTFA, he's bashing Open Source and freeware.
Q: What characterises that open-source, freeware legacy DNS that you think makes it weaker? A: Number one is in terms of security controls. If I have a secret way of blocking a hacker from attacking my software, if it's freeware or open source, the hacker can look at the code.
... how can you trust these guys to write your DNS software? They're the very guys who were contracted to write Bind9, the foremost open source domain name server, which they're now complaining about.
The other question is if they are now using elements of the Bind9 source in their closed source system and are not properly disclosing it.
1. They switched to Windows Server 20xx 2. They get their page owned by some cracker
Poetic justice, if you will.
Like the Windows 95 nuke that has been reintroduced to SMB2? I almost thought about doing that as a prank to my coworker on his project box running 2k8.
I resent that, Mr. Anonymous Coward. Windows is the most secure system in the entire world as long as you leave the system unplugged from the network and inside of a Faraday cage. With the USB ports disabled and no CD-ROM/Floppy drive. And armed guards at the door.
It's a feasible option for any business.
Until you turn it on...
I NEVER TOLD YOU TO DO THAT! YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL!
The argument will be that since they run Redhat it's not considered open source or freeware, even though it is a Linux distribution that is proprietary.
Yeah, because the poster child of closed source - Windows - is *so* secure...

Would that the Nazis were all dead. Last year, I boarded the wrong train while on holiday in Germany, and ended up in a small town called "Bad Kissingen" where I found a swastika graffiti'd across part of the train station wall.
The person who wielded the can of spray paint is no more a Nazi then the kids in my High School my sophomore year who spray painted the tennis courts with a swastika and the words "One world, one race."
(I was planning to write something slightly different but less suited for small children and Americans here.)
Not all of us are looking to censor vulgar speech or freak out at the sight of a bare chested woman. Most of us actually are quite foul mouthed, and being on this website and even reading the comments probably means that the most of us aren't easily offended.
I did cut off streaming video for awhile because it was being used a lot and a T1 line for 90 people isn't a heck of a lot of bandwidth, especially when we have guys from offsite transferring files to our network and stuff.
A bit OT, but you might want to look into getting a business line from a local ISP. Route your priority traffic through your T1 (Voice, offsite transfers), and set web browsing to go through the Comcast/Verizon business line. I've set this up at a few places.
For the expense of an alternative form of high speed, based upon the fact that his objections are pure bullshit.
You'd file a civil suit over this? I don't see how you would win. Maybe the Canadian legal system is different (which is where he lives), but I'm pretty sure it would go nowhere.
A friend is about to give a victim's statement on a murder case
She's been murdered, and she's going to give a statement?
Hm, I must have gotten the wording wrong. Survivors statement? I'm not 100% on what it's called in the legal world, but she's going to give a statement about how the death of a loved one impacted her life.

They guy pushing the button my believe the 71 virgin shtick.
We just need to let them know that nobody ever said those 71 virgins were women.
Considering that open homosexuality will get you killed in Iran, that could be worse...

Israel gained proof of nuclear plans and then destroyed Syria's nuclear cache with a tactical airstrike. I don't doubt they will do the same thing to Iran.

Even if that person is Bree Olson?
Gah, knew I shouldn't have googled her at work.

I hope he doesn't run any Linux distributions in his company, at all. That would make him a hypocrite.

Sorry grammar nazis, *PUNISH the criminals*.
I don't know, I think a public bitch slap from a judge would be pretty cool.

Also, fuck you.
When elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers.
Is this just some "Americans are fat" joke?
(actually, I don't think I would drink anything off some random bar skank, no matter how sexy she is. I guess I'm just not manly enough)
Well, when you want to disinfect something, you use alcohol. Right? Right.
That does NOT mean DHS is less fucked up than a football bat.
I don't follow. You don't need a bat for footb-- OHH!

It's usually a Victim Impact Statement.
That's it. Thanks.

Quite frankly, if I was his neighbor, I'd sue the moron.
For what?

Also, I think you understood what I meant.

Do you live in the USA? If so, I have no sympathy for you. I don't know insurance laws outside of the USA.
