The man sounds passionate about whats he doing. even if all his peers think hes nuts(since the artlcle really did'nt have anyone sayin he has a shot in hell) he has the dedication to try... Good Luck man! even if you crash and burn.. you tried..
I've found that where i work the new important passwords everymonth is usally the hax0rized version of someone who quits, name. IE.. Colin would be (0|_||\|
pissed the hell out of our NOC when they gotta remember that crazt stuff:)
My friend at work bought one of them because he thought it looked cool and nifty... He plugged in a 64mb Flash card he had and it fried the flash card and the cube.... I would stay away from these hunks of junk personally...
But if seed is blown into his property, as seed has blown across lands for millions of years, why should he have to pay a license for it? I believe he should be compensated by the company that made the roundup ready crop for contaminating his natural crops. how about that?
For some dumb reason the US government lets anyone genetically modify a plant and patent the change. They now own the patent and rights to that crop. As was recently proven in canada with the roundup corn, Even if seed from another field blows onto your field and you cultivate, you can now own that company license fees. I personally have no desire to have my food owned before its planted by a large bio-tech firm.. Its really frightening..
Its damn shame they are getting out of the coin-op world.. I can remember fondly playing tons of Midway Pinball games throughout high school. I even had waterworld(think it was midway) in my house after college for awhile...
I wonder how long it is before the rest fo the companies get out?
Will we see coin-ops go away? or will they morph in the next 5 years into vast multi-player linked worlds based on some form of adanvaced VR?
I use @home and they provide great cable high speed access in my area.... but i've never used their news feed.. personally i've always used deja.com or now groups.google.com for anything i needed.. for that matter i've never even checked my @home email or even know what the account is...
Well, there is a difference in the mail that spammers send and that I send. I send emails to people I know and who *want* to recieve email from me. Spammers send to who ever is on thier list. While the one spam I get does not cost me much it does over time; it also costs the ISPs who have to recieve and store the large numbers of unwanted emails.
Aww but all those emails you send that people want still cost the ISP money.. If we are charging spammers, why not charge everyone? When it comes down to it, its all still just bits...
Actually they are abusing that. The email is definatly *not* free (from an ISPs stand-point). When a spammer tries to dictionary attack your mails erver or sends a 100k spam to all 10K+ of your customers, you quickly find that cleaning up after a spammer is not cheap
Dictionary attacks to suck... sure punish network abusers..or write a program to reconize an attack coming in tryin to email every possible user and deny those IP's...u can figure sumthing out.. if it becomes illegal.. you really think that will stop spammers??
True, but if you are sending these people uncolicited bulk email, don't be shocked when they complain.
I never said people would'nt complain(i don't bulk email personally) but what i'm saying is why draw the line at "bulk" as opposed to 1 or more pieces... you set bulk at 400 pieces and wham! spammers will send 399..... again legislation is not an answer...
Spam *is* that infuriating to an admin who has to come in to the shop at 4am to work on a mail server that has hung trying to process a boatload of spam.
See above a few comments.. spend more time beforehand securing your networks.. personally I've had much greated problems at work than our mailserver having problems.
I throw it away. It really does not cost me anything. the people sending it pay for it's delivery. It does not piss me off; that is because postal spam has yet to flood me to the point where I have to spend an hour destroying mail just to be able to open my PO box.
Sure it does! it costs the cost of trash recyling(assuming you recyle it and dunt add to our gian trash dumps irresponsibly). It pisses me off to no end.. I radther get an electronic add than i can hit one key and delete instead of having it clutter up my house and have trees destroyed so people can send me the latest coupons for acme supermarket.
Well, I guess you have never worked on a high traffic mail server or had to deal with abuse issues.:)
Nope, mostly part of the international voip network i deal with going down at times.. much more important than some spam in my inbox which i can ignore, filter or delete.
I prefer a much unregulated interent... the more its regulated, the more its turned into AOL or other MAJOR controled online services where everything is sterile and nothing is new....(granted AOL gets ton of spam funny enough)

Author says: But they should be required to pay "postage" for that right. I think spammers should pay a penny per k to both me and my ISP. A 5k spam would cost a dime. Still less then a stamp.
A few major problems here...
1. If they pay for email, you should have to pay for email you send anywhere as well and then we will be back to having a regulated postal service.
2. E-mail is arguably free.. Its a system of networked servers designed to pass messages from one user to another.... they are using that.. why do you assume there is a level of personal privacy there? I can send an email to anyone! bob@yourmomsuck.com president@whitehouse.gov cmdrtaco@slashdot.org... if we start charging people does this mean if i receive an email from someone i don't like I can now charge them for it?
I guess where do draw the line? is spam that infuriating to you? Personally it doens't bother me.. I have a few different pop accounts i use, with one i give out to people so i can read messages from and one for mailing lists(usually one per mailing list) and one for signing up for dumb stuff online where it sounds like i'm gonna get spammed for it...
What do you do about postal spam? Personally i can't stand that.. I get over 2 pounds a week of trash mail in my mailbox that some how now I AM RESPONSIBLE to recycle or throw away.. My name is Not Postal Customer, or Recipient... i've fought with my post office and left the junk mail in my mailbox.. that does nothing unfortunately.. those are the people who should be paying us for email... if you get some spam... thats reason #45628 the DELETE key was invented...
I think theere are highly more pressing issues to worry about then some junk mail...
Just my thoughts...perhaps losing some karma now:)
I don't personally anyone who actually read those sites, I work for a larget networking company and not one person here ever read them.. Its no surprised they all failed or are failing, they were'nt very interesting to read... not flamebait.. jsut the truth...
Seee I disagree a bit.. I think he goes with his principles more often than not. as for Oconnor, i have very little repsect for, especially after the election debacle.
Scalia....... I find Scalia to be a very interesting justice, As i consider myself a bleeding heart liberal type, most of my friends can't beleive i would like scalia, but its in cases like this where he really shines through on people's basic rights. I bet he'll end up Chief Justice one day, Scalia on a more liberal court would be a great day for human rights thats for sure.
You'd be surprised how many Christians there are in China. There are over 20 million underground Christians in China right now -- these are true believing fundementalists who risk their lives for their beliefs. There is also State run Christian Church (the 3-Self Movement).
Ok fine.. 20 million out of 1.2 billion...thats about 1.6% of the population??? They risk there lives for somthing they can't prove... seems smart to me.. religion in general is pretty stupid concept used early on in history to explain to the masses how and why things that seemed unexplainable happened.. great form of mind control... too bad its still around... We are all Star dust...
In a bold move, Mr Lite brite, representing Incadescent bulbs everywhere has filed suit in federal court today. "We are asking for a complete cease of data transmission through Fluorescent lights" said Mr Lite brite at a news conference this morning.
He went on to say that "This is a new form of aparthied!, If this is allowed to continue, Incadescent lights everywhere will be swapped out prematurely from there life spans and replaced with Fluorescent lights that can transmit data as well as provide well balanced illumination for billions of people around the world. Us Incadecent bulbs will be quickly replaced and stop manufactured and we shall die out, I simply can not allow this type of genocide to continue."
Lighting Analyst B. Franklin worries that this law suit if it prevails could set back new data services 15-20 years, GE's stock tumbled 20 points on the news as well... developing....
Now lets say people download files from you instead of the *new* servers they will have.. you should be compensated about.01 or two each time.. that would be perfect.. i truly hope no signs up for this new pay service...

So when DOES The streaming WEB-based movie short of this disaster come out? Who will play cmdrtaco?
:)
date: 6:42pm

uptime: 103 days, 3:19, 0 users,
load average: 0.03, 0.04, 0.01

Notice the discrepancy in today... hmmm guess routers down don't count in the Uptime script... time to add some snmp traps to it
It seems strange that a high profile site like slashdot.org has one single point of failure? Are you guys still hosting this site in your basement? :)
:)
VA(your bosses) don't have a cage in some co-lo somewhere where u guys are setup through 2 core routers to multiple carriers?
P.S. I do network desgin work? need help?

So let me get this straight... TVA is paranoid about being hacked....
SETI@Home is a violation of Security protocol...
www.tva.gov is running Apache on an HPUX machine.. pretty secure...
Workers of the TVA are running windows... doesn't this violate the security protocol?
