  1. Re:So what? on Half a Million Database Servers 'Have no Firewall' · · Score: 1

    I guess the question I would have is why would the DB server even be on a publicly accessible network? While most posters are correct that DBs require authorization, best practices would dictate keep private data on a separate network. I would imagine a lot of these DBs are session state data and app config DBs. Either way, there is never a need to have your DB with an Internet accessible IP.

    can you enlighten us on which documents a cursory reading of would show that our "Founders" intended for the federal gov't to assist in paying for disasters, cleaning up disasters, emergencies, etc... I'm always up for learning more about our "founding" fathers intentions. Cheers.

  4. Re:610 physicists on "Cascade B" Particle Discovered At Fermilab · · Score: 1

    I'd bet you're wrong... 610 is way too many folks for a "meaningful" team. I agree with the parent, it was a "sign your name here" team. But then again, definitions mean everything and our definitions of a team might be different.

  5. Re:I say... on Boston University Student Challenges RIAA · · Score: 1

    Technically no they can't. Because the CDs were originally bought. That means no loss of revenue to the publisher... It just transfers ownership from one person to another. Have you ever bought a used CD? Think people, think!!!!
