Could really a large web hosting company do this mistake ? You should ALWAYS have atleast one secondary nameserver at a different network, preferably at a location far away, even if you are multi homed.
The Security Model still has to be the same. The similarities between E-Commerce and E-Games are quite many. In the web world you can't assume that everyone is using the same browser you wrote the page for. In the game world you can't expect the client to be the same one you wrote the server for.
The Quake protocoll is fundamentally flawed. It reveals information which it expects the client not to disclose. This is a bit like putting passwords in html comments on an E-Commerce site.
I can see only 2 solutions to this problem. Either you only accept connections from certain clients or you don't reveal information the client should not have access to.
Now stop whining about the fact that ESR,RMS etc are dumb and you are so bright. If you were you would probably be known as FGL.
Great. I don't think you can do much fun with it though since even if you pay for the domain you can't do any changes to it.
Contacting a few news people might be a good idea though. passport.com is the place where m$ wants you to handle all your online shopping so perhaps they should make sure they actually pay for the domain themselves...
Whoo, it appears that they might actually have forgotten to pay. I did a check on https://payments.networksolutions.com/ and they actually have an unpaid invoice.

I never understood why it is you dub everything to german ? Whats wrong with subtitling ? Almost nothing here in Sweden is dubbed and theyre even showing Southpark with the subtitling off as default. I can't stand watching dubbed movies/commercials whatever, so much of the feeling the director intended to convey is lost. There would probably be riots all over the place if someone decided that dubbing everything is a good idea.
Well, the network code in the linux kernel is not exactly backwards compatible, unless you do some tricks to make it so. ipchains allows for lots of tricks you could not do with ipfwadm, the new netfilter stuff which will be in 2.4 allows even more tricks. There are some howtos and stuff which you might want to read to mentally prepare yourself for 2.4 on netfilter.kernelnotes.org. Quote from the ipnatctl howto:
3. Quick Translation From 2.0 and 2.2 Kernels
Sorry to those of you still shell-shocked from the 2.0 (ipfwadm) to 2.2 (ipchains) transition. There's good and bad news. Firstly, you can simply use ipchains and ipfwadm as before. To do this, you need to insmod the `ipchains.o' or `ipfwadm.o' kernel modules found in the latest netfilter distribution. These are mutually exclusive (you have been warned), and should not be combined with any other netfilter modules.

While you are talking about the 1996 version of NT, most of your agruments are moot with Windows 2000 (NT5). It may make your agruments easier to compare the 1996 version of NT4 with the latest version of Linux, but we don't want to spread FUD, do we? You think it is vaporware? You can buy the pre-release copy to test with, etc.
You want us to compare it to a beta, which is only availible for a price ?
It is common practice to compare latest released product.
It is not our fault that Microsoft can't release things on time.
Most of the time the telcos themselves doesnt know where their fibre is. And the biggest accidents of this kind actually happen when there is telco people there, they just thought the cable was 5 metres to the left.
You seem to be quite confused as to what the difference between a patent and having copyright rights means. Patents should only be possible to claim on truly revolutionary methods of doing things. I have yet to see anything in the software world i consider revolutionary enough to deserve a patent.
Heh, apparantly they don't know how to block access to a dir without removing it. Not exactly a good way to solve the problem. They could have turned it into good publicity instead. Url to the ISP
Everyone who lives there know that there will be hurricanes. Hurricanes are not a new invention so if you choose to live there you have to expect them. What do you think the best way to face something you have no way to affect in any way ? The ones who put up this cam decided that turning it into a fun event was the best thing. Is that so wrong ?
Bah I'm not really sure where you find all these countless posts. It is true that many "NT sux, Linux rules." posts get moderated up, but most of them get moderated down just as quickly leaving them at (Funny, Score: 0). One thing you seem to forget is that the moderators are the users. If you have been seeing countless posts that suggest that you have been reading slashdot for a while, if you have not ever been a moderator during the time it took you to read countless posts, then i'm not sure what you have been doing.
I have been a moderator twice, it is not exactly an easy thing to decide which of the countless useless posts you should moderate down, or if you should waste a point on moderating up that one truly brilliant post.
Lately i have found that the posts from the "Anti Pro-Linux" crowd are much more annoying than the useless "Linux rules" oneliners which can be filtered out easily if you fiddle with your preferences a bit.
I don't see how even they could have turned this issue into propaganda but anyway, i still wonder why the key can be overwritten.. The NSA is probably not to happy about that even if it is their key.
NMAP relies very much on beeing able to generate packets with different flags set. Microsoft decided that it would be much easier to implement a tcp stack without support for many of those annoying flags, and i'm not sure if it is even possible to generate raw packets from NT, it isnt in 95-98 atleast. And it's generally not fun to port stuff to windows, im sure Fyodor would accept patches to allow a clean compile on NT (good luck).
Perhaps it is the Windows* users who should get of their high horses and start porting things to their OS of choice.

From doing a quick whois on their domain i found this:
NS.CIHOST.COM 216.221.162.81
NS2.CIHOST.COM 216.221.162.111

Some nameservers have the domain cached.
They should stop working in a few hours.
I suspect Network Solutions will be flamed quite badly for this by Microsoft.
The domain is still in the WHOIS so perhaps they just forgot to actually pay for the domain and NSI blocked it.
