I have to call bullshit on your conclusions on the purpose and abilities of the helpdesk. If helpdesk operators were supposed to be education and training providers, I've never see a properly configured call center. Anyway, if the users were trainable, no one would have gotten the virus. You had to *intentionally* open an unknown attachment in an unsolicited e-mail, even if it is forged to come from a friend of a friend who had you in their addressbook.
Actually MS didn't get any love, it was Planet Starbucks and the IBM Stellar Sphere...
Quote from the book's version: "...when deep-space exploitation ramps up, it will probably be the megatonic corporations that discover all the new planets and map them. The IBM Stellar Sphere. The Philip Morris Galaxy. Planet Denny's. Every planet will take on the corporate identity of whoever rapes it first. Budweiser World."
You can order CDs for SPs, if you're a TechNet memeber they send everything to you. If you're a Pro you should be slipstreaming the SPs into your install CD. Our SP4 install discs only need a handful of patches after install instead of the 60-100+ you'd need off a SP0 install.
I guess it depends on what you're calling a defect. If someone comes along and pours sugar into your gas tank your car won't keep running right. Is that a recallable defect? If someone sends a particularly malformed request to a process on your machine it won't run right. Is that a recallable defect? I'd say no in both cases.
That's all good and well, except that the first thing you do when you invade is destroy those fixed lines of communication. Even if these fixed lines are made impregnable, commands to the field still need to be transmitted to mobile units. I also wouldn't assume that the full details of what these units can do was laid out in the very brief news article.
Well this is/. for Bob's sake. You'll have to giggle on the inside; just like you have to cringe on the inside when a stupid admin does something dumb with an MS product, or MS marketing does something that makes you fear for the future of humanity.
Well no OS is proof against shitty passwords or real bad practices (like not running backups). As usual the most important factor is the quality of your admin, not the OS.
This has nothing to do with terminal services (port 3389) this is RPC (ports 135, 139, 445). But disabling DCOM will prevent this as well as running the patch.
Well, then I guess you need to step in the ol' time machine and patch, patch, patch, patch, patch.;)
I found that the msblast.exe has a mechanism to restore itself if removed from the registry. Have to wait for the rest of the analysis before you can even start to clean up the machines. (which you may want to mention to management is a hell of a lot more time consuming and expensive than patching would have been)
If you're on a cable or dsl connection most providers will let you buy multiple IPs. No one does this of course since they charge out the ass. This will be the same when there are more IPs out there to assign, they'll still change an extra 10-20 bucks a month for those extra IPs.
What's wrong with DHCP? The device picks up an IP based on location, with all the required local network settings. Its 'identity' doesn't change. Have that DHCP give out addresses in the private range and put it all behind a NAT and you're using 1 public IP for all the workstations.
Who the fuck are these moderators anyway? If I'd said that macs are heaping piles of flaming shit with a $3000 price tag, maybe... I didn't think a comment to a sub-sub-oringal post was worth moding at all, but I think I was closer to funny, ya asshats.

I think you mean prettier, with lots of useless dancing widgets, not more functional.
I follow your logic, but thankfully criminals must not be too smart (or at least the ones doing low yield armed robbery aren't). The crime rates in concealed carry states doesn't give with your interpretation.
Quote from link2, empahasis mine: "Across all the states, whether low crime or high crime, violent crime rates are lower in Concealed Carry states. The adjacent table divides states in thirds by low, middle and high violent crime rates. In each group the violent crime rate is lower in Concealed Carry states. Not surprisingly, violent crimes rates are lower by at least the 25% reduction found after the first five years. This indicates that the drop in violent crime continues beyond the initial five-year effect."

To answer your other objection, my rifle is ready to rock in a location no one less than 6 feet tall could reach. No chairs, ladders or stepstools are in the vacinity.
Ah, but if I think that every person walking around has a gun, am I likely to mug anyone? Nope If every home has a gun and a trained operator in it, am I likely to break into random homes? Nope
That's why the number of time a gun is used in self defence is low, but the number of times a gun is successfully displayed in self defence is high.
I worked at a Law firm and they used the hell out of this feature. I learned about quite a few Word commands I'd never heard of before (and have never used since) while working there. So the moral here, is that just because you don't use it (and couldn't come up with a reason why you ever would), doesn't mean that another company isn't deciding between two competing products on this issue alone.
INAL, but I have been involved in court cases. You don't go out of your way to make life easy on the opposition. In fact you go out of your way (within legal limits) to make like difficult for them. Drowning your opponent in paper is the most fun response to a fishing, I mean discovery, request that there is. Often there will be damning information down in there, but they never bother to actually go thru it all to find it.
Yea, but they're pretending to be on the other side of the coin. So to really be controversial, and to have even a snowballs chance in hell of appealing to anyone except their buddies, they should fire back with facts and information showing the validity of their alternate viewpoint. Which, after watching this video I have no clue what that would be.
I watched it, and it's not about anything! It's a bunch of VERY short clips pasted together in a unintelligible narrative. So the American white man's war is bad? Retaliation against an armed aggressor is bad? Is that what they're trying to say?
It's just more of the same old same old objectionist nonsense ["You're bad, what you do is bad, shame on you, shame on you."] without any attempt to provide an alternative. Why? Because that's hard to do.
So they come off looking like a bunch of bitch ass, daddy's buying, whiners.
Someone please explain what the hell this actually was if I'm wrong.
We've all been paying attention to part two, making it hard to get into, but part one, which you noticed immediatetly, is that he's made his house look like there's nothing worth stealing in there in the first place.
He **STOLE** the documents from his employer and sent them to web sites that specialize in the hardware/software to make fake cards to steal DirecTV programming.
Unless he's brain damaged, I'd have to assume that he knew exactly what he was doing.

Methinks your PC group doesn't know how to configure their PCs either.

Uh, I'm not sure what Windows Update you use, but this patch has been part of the MS Windows Update for about a month now.
Well, then I guess you need to step in the ol' time machine and patch, patch, patch, patch, patch. ;)

Whatever did this has also changed the Admin password. Just blow the system away, who knows what it has done.
