It turned out it was another admin, who had gone some kind of crazy. He had three NICs in his desktop box all configured to impersonate different machines, he had re-routed the boss's email through his mailbox (and some clients' mail too), and had all kinds of other things going on.
Good thing he was fired, because dsniff is the appropriate suite of tools for reading other people's network traffic. Duh!
He says that Mozilla's stance on protecting its branding elements is no different than that of any other company that wants to ensure a high-quality user experience.
And I bet a lot of Windows newbies are accidentally sucking down the Debian packages and saying "Hey, this doesn't work! FIREFOX SUCKS!"
If you're running Debian, you expect to get Debian's customised packages. Sheesh.

This is a pretty bogus test.
What do you think is propagating all this crap in the first place? MS boxes that have been compromised.
OK, there are things like metasploit that run on Linux, but the majority of the bad traffic comes from PCs that have been compromised by similar stuff to this 'bogus test'.
If every application did what you're describing Firefox doing, we'd be in a lot of trouble; the OS would never get to do any of those cute "spare" memory tricks that it does, because the apps would be trying to use way more memory than they actually needed to perform their core functions.
Damn right! All that 'free' memory belongs to Emacs, no johnny-come-lately web browser should get a look in.
You can't ban Socialist speech. If someone wants universal health care or the right to form a union, you can't throw them in jail. Yet we all have to acknowledge that if Socialists were to gain absolute power, they are capable of genocide.
You're right. I bet Nye Bevan was sitting around in 1948 tossing a coin - "heads genocide, tails establish universal health care system - here goes."
Huh? Apache is a weberver. Windows Server is an OS. I could understand, "They run Windows Server. Why not use Linux?" Or, "Their website is on IIS. They don't use Apache."
You can also get sendmail for Windows. All the ease of configuration of sendmail, with the stability of Windows.
Similarly, you can run apache on Windows, but most people who are running apache are running it on Linux, and most people who are running Windows are using IIS.
Funnily, the English call it the Imperial system and don't use it much any more. Also Imperial pints are different from American pints, so you just better hope that they measure rocket fuel in litres.
Maybe if the English try to block some pointless oil war, you guys could call it Freedom measurements and we'd all be happy?
Maybe you should read what this guy actually did. he intruded into a banks phone system (without permission), performed a security audit (again without permission), and then tried to get the bank to pay for his work. If I was the bank I would be taking this bastard to court too. how would you feel if someone turned up at your house did some work then sent you a bill all without you requesting anythign be done. The fact that the bank has a security issue is a side note here, they should be hiring a "reputable" security firm to look at there systems.
And speaking as someone living in NZ, I'm glad the bank has to fix the bloody problem rather than shooting the messenger - as seems usual in these cases.
That's nothing. At my company, we never have any meetings at all, nor any plans. And staff can take holidays whenever they want and work on whatever they want! We're not making any money yet, but it's only a matter of time! (Fingers crossed!)
Hey, I think I used to work there. Oh wait, no. I was unemployed.
Why the *HELL* Microsoft doesn't offer Warranty protection like this.
Because they only have $40bn in the bank! Ba-dum tish.
Seriously, it's because they don't need to, liability for software flaws being almost the inverse of other forms of liability issues. Next time you have a major outage at work, try telling your boss to sue MS to recoup your lost earnings. Then time how long it takes him to stop giggling.
While I have my problems with Bush, I don't see the democrats offering anything worth considering except "we're not Bush". They could be worse than Bush, it is possible, you know.
Well, Bush is the worst president ever. I mean, the only person worse would be some crazy democrat like Hilary Clinton but with radically expanded, possibly unconstitutional powers... Oh wait...

"male nipples being legal"
If you ever have occasion to utter that sentence, consider moving to a different country. Really.
We just assumed it was a rewrite because that's obviously the only way to un-fuck IE.
Well, at least the Republicans will stop fucking half the country.
Come on, someone had to say it.
We damn well do know that people with high IQ are usually more successful than those with low IQ.
Apart from running for the office of President of the United States of America, when having a low IQ seems to be positively beneficial.

Hard to say if it found any bugs - the only output was "Malkovitch".
Ok, but the thought of leaving Limburger-baited mosquito traps all over the tropics makes the eyes water...

Funny, I was going to say third worst thing to happen to PC users (after MS DOS and Windows 3.1).
But I didn't play with NT 3.5, so I might be out by one.
