What part of you don't need to use a proxy list did you not understand?
You can do SSH tunneling, for example, with an ordinary Web or 'cloud'-type host. There are like $5/month or less shell accounts or Web hosting accounts or whatever out there. There are even a few free shell hosts like nyx.nyx.net, but I don't know if they allow SSH tunneling or not.
Back in 1994, when I got my first AIX machine for administration, it took me nearly half a year to stop editing configuration files directly. For certain things which I know are safe, I still do direct-edits.
Well, if that's not financially feasible for you, maybe you could have a friend set one up for you. Alternatively, you may be able to accomplish what you want through a shell host provider or a co-loc or something.
Any decent blocking software also blocks all the popular proxy lists and proxies too (and it constantly updated). Software that does this (like Websense [wikipedia.org]) may not be impossible to get around, but it makes it damn hard (and I know, this is what my school uses and even with my knowledge it's still hard to find a proxy).
Bypassing Websense:
1. Have a PC running on a high-speed Internet connection on the other side of the Websense proxy. 2. On that PC, you need to run OpenSSH and an HTTP proxy server, say at mypc.example.com. In this example, I my proxy server will be using port 8080. Run SSH on Port 443 (works every time) on this box. 3. Using PuTTY or Plink or one of the front-ends for plink, forward 8080 through an SSH connection to this PC from the inside of the Websense firewall. Putty and Plink can tunnel right through the proxy connecting to port 443 just like an HTTPS connection would do. 4. Set your browser to use the proxy on localhost at port 8080 5. Done. All Web accesses will go through the SSH proxy and all of this data will be encrypted as a result.
I will leave the details as an exercise to the reader.
What if the phone number in the manual is only 9 characters instead of 10?
Well, you guess. In this case guessing might be a lot more fun.
You: "Huh? Only 9 digits...let's try lucky 7 for the last number." Phone: *ring* Phone: "Helllloooo. You've reached the HOTline, where sexy women are waiting to hear from you. Please press 1 nowwww...."
Yeah, they rely on their small size, highly efficient shape and and their high resistance to viruses and other foreign invaders. That and funding from billionaires in South Africa.
1. This isn't a political news site, it's a geek news site. If you want politico.com, you know where to find it. 2. That being said, sometimes Slashdot covers politics. Usually when something happens that directly affects tech, science, or the banning of ewoks. The election was never really covered here except to the extent of having discussions on the candidates views surrounding tech and science issues. 3. If the editors decide to post a post-election story, they will. If not, they won't. In the end, does it really matter? 4. Steve Fossett's disappearance and apparent death have been a source of discussion on here since the news of Fossett's plane coming up missing broke many months ago. Did you really expect that to change just because an election took place?
Bah. Netcraft only confirms when things are dying. Sounds like Fossett's death didn't leave much time for Netcraft to even know about it, let alone confirm it.
most people believe in smaller government, in a government that is less intrusive, and in free markets. Where we may disagree is in degree, but at its core, the Republican stance has always been these three pillars.
not been those things since the neocons took over the party. George W. Bush, whether you like him or hate him, presided over the largest expanse in government since FDR, bar none. He has increased the intrusiveness of government, and has basically trashed the free markets by, ironically enough, failure to regulate them with reasonable controls.
I consider myself a small 'l' libertarian and I have previously voted Republican, but the last few election cycles I've voted Democrat because the Democratic candidates -- everyone from Bill Clinton to Barack Obama have seemed far more inline with my own views.
It's not just public interface. They conduct a lot of non-battle-related stuff over the internet, or on computer systems that are indirectly linked to the internet. Obviously you don't plug an F-22 into comcast (although supposedly its electronics system is versatile enough that you could reprogram it to use the radar as a really powerful 802.11 antenna). However, it's quite a bit easier to just connect workstations to a typical LAN that has some computers online for logistics type stuff, even if all the actual communication takes place on the local side, than it is to maintain multiple networks for computers that need internet access and those that don't.
But not sensitive, classified material. NO systems with classified information are connected to the Internet. Trust me on this one.
Yes, some day-to-day non-classified systems do happen on computers connected to the Internet.
So, yes, they do maintain different systems -- one for classified information and one for non-classified information. What's maintained on the non-classified systems just day-to-day stuff like non-battle duty rosters or things like that.
You're right, of course. But this isn't about computers with Secret information, which are a non-issue when it comes to the Internet -- those machines are on their own completely air-gapped network and secured behind locked doors, alarms and armed guards.
This is about the Air Force's services that are on the public Internet. The Air Force, like the other branches of the military and other government agencies, needs to interface with the public. One of their primary means of doing that these days is through their Internet presence.
Of course, sites in the.mil domain are going to constantly be hammered by cyber criminals, bored teenagers and even spammer gangs trying to bring down the sites.
The USAF would like to alter the permissive and decentralized nature of the Internet through technological and possibly political means to suit itself.
All I have to say is good luck with that and uh, get in line. Companies have tried and failed for years to mold the Internet in their own image. Companies with billions and billions of dollars to throw at the matter. Companies who were once powerful juggernauts and 800 lb. gorillas finding themselves becoming increasingly irrelevant...
FTFS, what was lost was not data, by some kind of 'passcode':
The action was taken after a memory stick was found in a pub car park containing confidential passcodes to the online Government Gateway system, which covers everything from tax returns to parking tickets.
My guess is that the stick contained either a file containing some passwords (bad idea), or, more likely, some sort of private key file.
All y'all harping on the people for doing this, let me as you this: How many of you carry your SSH, SSL, PGP, or other private keys on your memory stick? Yeah, ok, kettles!
If only you hadn't looked at the report card. Then, your grade could've been an A or an F, and you wouldn't have known until you looked at the report card, thus collapsing the waveform.
WTF are you talking about? What does any of this have to do with Google or AdSense? The only thing I can think of is that Google's browser is based on WebKit and Safari is at least partially based on WebKit. But this fact has nothing whatsoever to do with Opera Mini.
Webkit is fine and there are several fine browsers available based on Webkit in various stages of maturity and development. Opera's proprietary renderer is also very good. However, as far as being the most efficient, the most recent benchmarks show Firefox 3 clearly beating both in terms of performance.
One minor point is that Google's browser isn't based solely on Webkit. They've brought in a faster, more advanced JavaScript engine that isn't part of Webkit.
See, that's also confusing. When you have a fully featured browser already in the phone, why compete with a substandard browser that's incapable of surfing anything more than static sites?
I can clearly see that you've never used Opera Mini. I've used Opera Mini to read and post on Slashdot. It works just fine.
Or you could bypass the drive and the rest of the problems with a network connection and a P2P application. This method also has the advantage of not funding organised crime.
That's gotta be the most ironic statement I've read on Slashdot in a while. So ironic because it's true.

Did you read my original post? What part of 'run an SSH daemon on port 443' did you not understand?
Uh, no thanks. I'm afraid my wife wouldn't approve.

Bleh. smit is pants.
Surprisingly, no.
The k is redundant with the h in there. On that last command. Just 'du -csh' is all you need. Note: -h only works with GNU grep.

The Dutch are like Scontsmen, but without the generosity.
I'm not sure who these 'Scontsmen' are, but I think you're implying that they are far more generous than the Dutch or the Scotsmen.

yep. They're using 0.93.1 and the latest stable is 0.94.
Quantum mechanics you insensitive prick!
