I didn't see anything about him trying to profit, though... He sent an email to the principal (contents unknown), from an anonymous email address, signed 'A Student'. Without more info, I'm inclined to speculate that he didn't really appear to be attempting to profit. (Wouldn't it be better to keep this a secret and profit from the information, if that was really his intent?)
All they're doing is making an example out of him. A company did the same thing a few years back with a white hat (Whos name I can't remember, and I can't find my copy of The Art of Deception/Intrustion to look up his name). He produced the error, sent them a paper on it, then they claimed that in the span of 6 months he used their service illegitimately for his own benefit.
I guarantee whoever designed their security infrastructure had their ego shattered by this and in a fit of nerd rage decided to strike back with everything he could.
And furthermore depression is evident when working in close proximity with others. There's no escape, you can't go and do anything really private. Hell, how are you supposed to do something as simple as crank out out when you have to worry about catching it all or it may jam an instrument panel?
Best job in the world? I disagree. I'd rather win the lottery and do nothing for the rest of my years then be an astronaut. That is if I could choose:)
For once I agree with a Gentoo/Slackware zealot who posted "This is what happens when you put out pre-compiled kernels, it makes it too easy for stupid people." And this is how questions like this arise. If you want performance, compile your own kernel with only your optimizations, then come back to us.
I ran it at the small business I worked for which primarily worked in programming digital signal processing algorithms. Regularly it would slow down the machines as they were compiling, and it would use up a lot of background memory.
The current institution I work for uses it and it's been a bit of a headache personally, it didn't like nmap. Or a handful of Cygwin utilities I tried to install.
If any other readers have personal experiences, share them. I've just become favorable of Kaspersky in the past from my personal use.
I'm with you on this one. I have had good experiences with Kaspersky in the past and got the package with three user licenses for like $50 or so off the website (this was back towards the beginning of 07). Two licenses for me and one for a friend who just runs around all day with his laptop.
I'm going to push the institution I work for to use Kaspersky in the future because having Symantec on these machines is detrimental. I had a good experience with Kaspersky in my home network of several machines and at clients households when they want proprietary anti-virus.
If people in India become rich how will all the NGOs and Church groups who raise money based on sad looking photographs survive?
They'll be replaced by a child in Pakistan, or Darfur, or any of the many countries that need help. There will never be a point in which someone doesn't need help, even if it escalates from just having clean water and food to schools and hospitals.
The only criticism that I have is that it rings my phone at all (for an unrecognized number). I would prefer a system where an unknown caller (those not on the white list) has to first identify themselves as a real person (by keying some numbers) and then leave a message.
This would be a great option for it, however it could be looked at as annoying for the caller. The reason I got rid of my land line when I moved is because of all of the telemarketers, robo-calls, etc. It got to the point where I wouldn't answer unless I recognized the number anyway. If it was an important call, they would probably leave a message anyway.
India still also has a huge problem with poverty. There's still disease, unclean water, etc.
My parents spent a month there visiting friends and despite how quickly they're building up there are still many problems that need resolving. Maybe the moon mission is a good idea in some eyes, just as we are spending money on building weapons both of us should be putting it towards building schools, hospitals, and getting average Joe six pack health insurance so he can take care of that knee that has been bothering him.
On my old HP iPaq Minimo crashed a lot. On my Samsung Blackjack it crashed a lot. I haven't tried it on WM6 yet, but I have a feeling Minimo will go in the same pattern.
Not like I use it for anything heavy, all I do is read/. on it and bash quotes.
I see some of these expectations to be ridiculous. It takes me 20 seconds for my work laptop -- Compaq 2510p -- to come back from hibernate. I don't need anything faster then that.
Standby isn't actually being powered off, but the laptops we distribute to employees standby when the lid is closed, and they come right back up once you open the lid again.
Jeff: Friendlier to Linux.. Currently we don't have any plans to release on Linux. WoW is actually extremely Linux-friendly, internally. There are many Linux WoW servers and WoW clients. But, publicly, we haven't released WoW on Linux, and don't currently have any plans to announce that.
Many linux WoW servers and WoW clients? Is he referencing the ability to use Wine to run WoW? Because that isn't considered WoW on Linux to my standards or probably most of yours. WoW on Linux would entail that you can install it off of the CD on Linux and have it function correctly.
As for the servers, does he mean the emulated servers such as the MaNGOS project, or the internal servers?
There is a lot of things that need clarification, but I doubt we'll get it or will you get an answer from their forums before a CM dismisses your thread and locks it.
PS: I'm also cynical about Blizzard at this point and just about anything they implement related to WoW.
According to the IANA*, 19.0.0.0/8 is allocated to Ford. If my calculations are correct, which they rarely are, Ford has a total of 16,777,214 available addresses. This also applied to anybody else who uses a Class A/8 subnet. I don't see any reason for a company to need that many, of course I'm just using Ford as an example, there's many others including Halliburton, AT&T, Level 3, Xerox, etc.

Mod parent up. Cell phones have been doing this since my old Nokia to my new Blackjack II.
It's called Zenwalk
I'll be trying this at home today :)

There is no "best" AV software, only preferable ones.

How abvout erasing the memory of the first time you had warm apple pie? Then, you get to try it for the first time every night.
I was thinking of something a little different... but whatever floats your boat, man.

Like it or not, poverty will always be a talking point when large amounts of money are being spent. This will continue until it is fixed.

However, I'll be sure to try Fennec.
It's not cute enough for a mascot by a long ways, but it does sort of fit.
How is this NOT adorable?

Shoring up the nation's IT against spying is as easy as dumping the prevalent non free software used by most big dumb companies.
It's missing something along the lines of:
This message has been brought to you by Symantec Corporation. Try our new Norton Internet Security for 30 days free!
No shit, sherlock.
Is this news?
You're telling me the DHTML clock that follows your cursor isn't entertaining?
This is pretty annoying. We already have to deal with grammar nazis, now we're dealing with standards nazis? When will it end!?
Not all of us sit here mashing the F5 key to get a FRIST PROAST.
Or the photos are so awesome that all the trekkies are running to Kinkos to print out high res photos to plaster on their walls.
I agree, I don't look at it as one but I also have the firewall configured on my pfSense box.
I apologize if my post gave the idea that I looked at it as one.
