The IP Address (131.188.40.90) belongs to the network of the University of Erlangen, the address resolves into fsi-server.informatik.uni-erlangen.de, hence the FSI INF (Informatik is German for Computer Science). So guys, this is most likely a joke.

Try the following commands:

• host openlinux.org
• host 131.188.40.90
• whois 131.188.40.90

Re:Isn't snort open source?

I think the US government is concerned that the new non-American owner could silently change the source code and hide backdoors in it. Of course, America is as paranoid as usal.

What if the information actually came from Google

On: Google Searches Used in Murder Trial?

In this case the search queries were gathered from the client's browser history which has nothing to do with Google itself and is perfectly fine imo.

But what if the accused had a Google Personal account and the police convinced Google to hand over the search history? Would there be no privacy at all, since even deleting your browser's cache/history wouldn't delete the one on the Google servers.

Of course, this is JavaScript, but please read my comment completely, because there's a too at the end.

What I wanted to say ist that the link indeed uses JavaScript, but also will work if the browser doesn't support JS.

Re:been seeing this a while

On: The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad

there's no answer except javascript for firing off a new window.

That's the reason why XHTML is modularized. You can easily load the target module that adds the possibility to use the target attribute for links.

Here is an example of a customized Doctype: http://www.juicystudio.com/tutorial/xhtml/module.a sp#target

However, I don't recommend using the target attribute, since it breaks the browser's back button. If you really want to use popups, then design it to work without JavaScript too:

<a href="foo.html" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'newwindow'); return false;">

Such a link also allows you to open the link in a new window/tab manually without problems.
