Snort doesn't only alert on known exploit payloads, it looks for malformed data which could trigger the bugs in the first place. It also has a load of stuff for monitoring port scanning. On this University class B, it is a really invaluable tool. Which is not to say that you don't need to think about using other things to protect your network.
Sourcefire's official slogan isn't "Snort - pulling people's arses out of the fire since 1998", but it should be.
"And why the fuck should I purchase anything which might or might not work from a company, which sues its customers as a business model, because it looks cool on press releases, but else then that consists of thin air?"
If this is your first question, you obviously haven't used OpenSewer. The thing is a piece of crap and that alone is reason enough not to touch it with a barge pole.
Ethical considerations would only come into play if it actually did something useful.
There are a jillion different Linux distros out there and everyone is running their own custom hacks. The end result is that a 'sploit which wants to run everywhere probably needs to be built on the target box with a 'configure && make && make install'.
The ARM2 processor was the first RISC chip that came in a home microcomputer. It was clocked at 8MHz and appeared in the Acorn Archimedes range of computers. Acorn also licensed the chip designs to third parties, including Intel.
It's low-power, it has a clean instruction set and a relatively low tranistor count.
Spam is Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or Unsolicited Bulk Email. As a sysadmin I get some complaints about our own mailing lists - if you signed up to that mailing list, and it's on topic for that mailing list, it's not spam. If you didn't ask for it, implicitly or explicitly, and it's either Bulk or Commercial in nature, it is spam.
We should also try to stop people from stealing in the first place, and get rid of laws against theft. After all, those laws are just "an after the fact hand in the cookie jar approach".

Yep; IBM actually told a joke about a hooker and a Bishop.

I think you mean: "Microsoft lives in parallel universe". Hope this helps, etc.
The International Atomic Energy Authority is using .NET?
Run for the hills!
PS. I have lived "abroad", but not in the States, so I can't really tell you what the difference is.
So, er, what terrible crime had you committed?

I am a trained monkey, you insensitive clod!
Well, Microsoft aren't competing with Google. I mean, have you seen MSN search recently?
...This claim involves the use of a crack pipe (1), some crack(2) and the human respiratory system (3)...
None of the outcomes of this process should be sent to the USPTO, as sadly happened in this case.
No, it's the bizarre model.

I'd just like to point out that the Firefox patch is evidence that the Open Source process quickly clears up vulnerabilities.
The Microsoft patches however, are evidence that the closed source business model produces insecure software.
Just wanted to clear that up.

And, yes, it does run Linux :p
No, it is not.

Funny, I dig a UNIX box which can't run Microsoft Word.
I'm about to patent "doing ... things with er, stuff". Wish me luck.
