Thanks. I'm the original AC but not the second one. I've never seen Star Wars so I didn't know the quote. Well, I saw the first star wars where the kid races the ship through the canyons, but that's it.
Sure does. It's a link to the grandparent post in this thread. If you're going to accuse someone of plagiarism then you might want to link to the post you say they are copying and not the alleged copy.
I was thinking that I could simply start to sniff passwords (18,000 students and quite a few use wireless) and then place them on my webpage at school.
So you're going to point out how insecure their network is by placing 18,000 students accounts in more danger than they're already in? You'll end up in jail for "hacking" if you do that. Seriously.
What you should do instead is write a letter explaining the situation in terms that a layman can understand. Outline why you believe the current setup is a problem and the risks associated with it. Identity theft is becoming more of a problem these days so maybe they'll understand where you're coming from. Then, and here's the important part, present a solution for them.
Whatever you do, DO NOT sniff the network and post the results. Don't even show them privatly to the people in charge. Let them handle their own security investigation. All you need to do is point out the problem and suggest a resolution.
When you were a kid and decided you wanted to program, did you sit down with a LISP compiler?
No, I learned assembler. It was either that or BASIC on my Commodore 64. If there was a LISP compiler, and if I even knew that it existed, I probably would have looked at it. LISP has become one of my favourite languages. It's too bad that I couldn't have learned about it at a younger age.
This isn't in San Francisco. It's in Pleasanton which is cow country. I work in Pleasanton and have seen the intersection. Now I'm tempted to test it.:-)
Are you kidding me? It only takes a year or so of working in corporate America to realize that the phrases "VP of Marketing" and "no dumbass" are mutually exclusive.
Your post does not follow the Slashdot Posting Style Guide closely enough. Next time, please use more misspellings and less facts and insightful observations.
And why does Mozilla prevent links to it via Slashdot? If I create a link it says "Ook! Sorry, links to Bugzilla from Slashdot are disabled."
Because several years ago Slashdot posted a story in which someone had linked directly to a bug. I think the bug was the subject of the slashdot story. Anyway, it brought bugzilla to it's knees and no one could use bugzilla for several hours as it just wouldn't respond.
Each item in the following list was suggested by the words or actions of people who presented themselves to the IETF or elsewhere as having discovered the FUSSP. Some of the items may seem obscure to those who have not dealt with the IETF.
You have discovered the Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem (FUSSP).
You are the first to think of the FUSSP.
You started looking for the FUSSP after observing that it is impossible to filter more than 99% of spam with fewer than 0.1% false positives by currently available mechanisms.
Despite being the inventor of the FUSSP, you are unfamiliar with "false positive," "false negative," "UBE," "tarpit," "teergrube," "Brightmail," "Postini," "SpamAssassin," "DNS blacklist," "HELO," "RBL," or "mail envelope."
You plan to make money by licensing the FUSSP.
You don't plan to make a fortune from the FUSSP, but you do expect fame as its generous and public spirited netizen inventor.
You are deeply hurt and angry because you are not respected as "spam fighter."
People don't see the value of the FUSSP because they have axes to grind, are jealous, or are too stupid to understand it.
You learned how to stop spam during the more than six whole weeks you've been fighting it.
The FUSSP assumes that your attention is so important that strangers, other than advertisers, from will pay money to send you mail.
Despite having invented the FUSSP, you not only don't know the difference between the SMTP envelope and SMTP headers; you doubt there is such a thing as the SMTP envelope because email doesn't involve paper.
Despite having invented the FUSSP, your SMTP header and DSN reading skills are so limited that when you send an objectionable message to two separate sites, you can't tell which of one of them rejected it.
You cannot name several potentially fatal flaws in the FUSSP.
All you need to do to get the FUSSP implemented and deployed is to publish an RFC or get a law passed.
You don't recognize any significant difference between deploying and implementing the FUSSP.
You plan to publish an RFC mandating the FUSSP but have never heard of RFC 2223 or
RFC 2026.
Inventing the FUSSP did not require that you know the difference between RFC 821 and
RFC 822 or that they have been replaced by
RFC 2821 and RFC 2822.
You don't know the relevance of "consensus" or "IESG approval" to publishing RFCs.
You think all RFCs have the same standing.
Spammers won't ignore, subvert, or exploit the FUSSP if you publish it as an RFC.
The FUSSP depends on spammers or mail recipients changing their behavior without any immediate gain.
The FUSSP won't be effective until it has been deployed at more than 60% of SMTP servers and that's not a problem.
The FUSSP is easy to implement and deploy, but you have done neither.
Your job is done after having explained the FUSSP to the IETF or The Industry.
Programmers will drop everything to implement the FUSSP.
You think that a violation of an RFC by an SMTP client or server is good and sufficient reason to reject all mail from the system's domain.
You know that SMTP has no authentication and have never heard of SMTP-AUTH, SMTP-TLS, S/MIME, or PGP.
You know that the failure of SMTP servers to authenticate the SMTP clients of strangers is a major bug in SMTP instead of an expression of a primary design goal.
Despite discovering the FUSSP, you don't know the meanings of MTA, MUA, SMTP server, SMTP client, or su
Geez. The one time that Michael doesn't feel compelled to offer some smart-ass commentary in the article and you're complaining. Please, don't ruin this great moment for the rest of us!:-)
There's so much Simpson's vocals recorded that you could make the entire new season just by editing the appropriate vocal parts of the other seasons together. An experienced and talented editor can make it unnoticable.
haven't really tried it out, but I'm pretty sure it's free
So, in other words you don't know and your post isn't really informative after all. What the poster was asking is if patches are available free of charge without having to get a subscription. The answer is yes but only for one year. You have to register with your serial number before the updater that retrieves the patches will work. A year after registering you must purchase support to continue to receive patches. I was unable to find more details on purchasing support for just getting patches.
It's 1999 all over again. I though the bubble burst for companies like this.

CSS for the LDP?

· Score: 1
Unfortunately, CSS won't solve the root of the problem: non-semantic HTML.
That's already solved. Everything at the Linux Documentation Project is using Docbook which is an XML DTD. This article is about using CSS on the HTML output from those XML files.
Well, yeah, it's illegal to screen based on age, gender, race, and so forth but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Not too much one can do about it either.:-(
Its a rather sad state of affairs when someone like Elena takes the time, fuel, and a camera along and lets the rest of the world see what its really like, and then might have to pay for the bandwidth to boot.
Please. It's not a sad state of affairs. Stop trying to paint people as victims. People put up public web sites to get traffic. It's clear from the writing that she wants people to see what she has to share.
Getting a lot of traffic at once is a fact of life that one has to plan for. The onus is on her to plan ahead with her hosting provider for just such an event. Maybe she has. Who knows? It's not slashdot's fault and it's not the story submittor's fault if she didn't and ends up paying for it. Hell, she's already been slashdotted once before. I'm sure she's got her act together on whose paying for the traffic.
