Yeah, like that's gonna show up in consumer electronics equipment^Wtoys.
Boards that allow editing typically allow edits only for a short while after the original post, specifically to allow posters to correct spelling errors, broken links, etc. that weren't caught on Preview. Then the post is locked into its lasting form.
Of course, if Slashdot's preview function was worth a damn.....
No, no, chances are, I am NOT behind a firewall or proxy, I am trying to correct a post on a board that is too goddamn old-school, its own admins don't know how to fix it to offer modern features, like editing posts.:rolleyes:
Oh, NAT is more useful in several ways. It provides a single router or entry point that you can monitor for security reasons
Any router does that, whether it provides NAT services or not.
it prevents people from running announced services such as HTTP, SMTP, or file sharing from their internal machines
No, it doesn't. P2P apps and other apps have many methods for allowing folders to be shared, even behind a NAT. How do you suppose all those cable modem and DSL users are able to share stuff from behind their NAT firewall? How deep does your NAT inspect the packets to determine whether a packet is part of an existing connection? Do you even know enough about NAT to ask that question?
and it draws a useful curtain of obscurity against activities you don't want traced back to their source.
It also draws a frustrating curtain of confusion (not obscurity, just confusion) around your own network activities, like trying to figure out who is using the network in the first place, and where they have gained access to it; or whether this ACL applies before or after NAT rules are applied (it varies from vendor to vendor, and even model to model).
Switching to IPv6 often involves hardware switchovers and the elimination of old services that simply cannot interoperate with it because they weren't designed to, and should have been discarded years ago but haven't been, and the original author has very much moved on.
There is a solution for legacy apps that don't work on IPv6 networks. It's called NAT.
What would be good Hubble data sets to begin with?
Well, for a famous "iconic" photo you could search for M16 or NGC6611, which is the catalog number of the Eagle Nebula, which contains the "Pillars of Creation" scene.
The Helix nebula is NGC7293. The Cat's Eye Nebula is NGC6543. The "Mice" are a pair of interacting galaxies designated NGC4676. The Sombrero Galaxy is M104 or NGC4594. If you search Google Images for any of these objects, the Hubble image is the first result every time.
It's called post-processing. You should go to the STSCI site and download some raw Hubble frames if you want to see some sources images that were "doctored" in the extreme to create those iconic images that adorn your calendars and desktops. The unprocessed frames are barely recognizable and contain huge amounts of visible noise from cosmic ray hits and all sorts of instrument artifacts.
The Chinese screwed up mosaicking their imagery. Big deal. Now that they know how far up their ass the scientific community will be looking, I am sure they will strive for more rigor. Their desire to be a contributing member of the scientific community appears genuine to me.
The company would be called Machines Business International, Yes.
The CEO would be Steve Ballmer, the company would be run out of Redmond, WA, and it would market the dominant desktop OS in the world. But Yoda would think he was still in control running things out of Yarmonk.
On the other hand, their servers would run quite well in damp conditions.
#10: Visit 1985 and buy up all 18,252.COM domain names consisting of 2 and 3 letters.
It was actually quite a bit harder to get a dot-com in 1985 than in 2005. In 1985 you had to convince a panel of academics that your application was related to network research. No amount of money could buy you one back then.
You want to go back to around 1991 or thereabouts to get in before the dot-com landrush, when registration was opened to all comers and free of charge, but no commercial interests really knew about it yet.
Now for the first.com which was registered on March 15 1985 and it was symbolics.com which still happens to be up and running, although not much to look at.
Yeah, the Symbolics website today doesn't look at all like it did in 1985. It's a dim shadow of its former glory.
Could it be used to do a DDoS? Or take out your DNS server due to the load?
I doubt performing a single zone transfer request will be more taxing on your systems than performing a scan of your entire address space, and reverse resolving each active IP that was found. Zone transfers are carried out over TCP, which involve one socket connection. But you could DDoS any host whether it runs a DNS server.
I think the proscription against open zone transfers dates back to the bad old days when BIND was called the Buggy Internet Name Server, and for good reason. For all I know, back then a zone transfer request could send the shadow file.
but to spin every case as being like that, when the truth (as we aLL know) is that there are just thousands of companies using warezed copies of software is just delusional.
It's delusuional to think thousands of companies are using warezed copies, when most non-IT management can't even figure out how to get on the internet, much less download a torrent of an iso and burn it, without hiring a consultant. Most business software license problems are business software license problems - paperwork snafus - not people stealing Photoshop from a warez site. Get real.
I never understood this one. Zone transfer merely allows access to the same data you are already publishing to the public. There is nothing an attacker can gain from a zone transfer that he also cannot gain by using a tool to scan your network and reverse-resolve your address.
Until this patch, EVE running under Cedega or anything else was not a supported combination. Now it is. Stop whining, it's supported. You have a problem running EVE on Cedega, it's now OK to make a bug report and it will get some developer attention.
It'd be a lot rarer than the deaths from stress and boredom whatnot that are brought on by the stress of living in an unfree and increasingly police-state-like world, I'd wager.
I think you underestimate your enemy. They WANT people like you who will get stressed out and bored to go ahead and off themselves. The rest of the population doesn't mind boredom and doesn't get stressed about police state measures.
I bought a CPU which I didn't realize at the time was in a returned product box. When I got home, it wasn't even the same brand of CPU. I bought a AMD64, but in the box was a Pentium-something with a bunch of bent pins. I took it back and though the manager was at first reluctant, he finally listened to reason, checked my purchase history and decided that I wasn't a serial returns scammer and gave me the correct CPU I had purchased, in a new unopened box.

Even better, you can visit those domain names with your browser and you get a Network Solutions branded website.
Yay!

Say the chip supports it, and addressing the chip for WMA takes a dozen lines of code if that; then why -not- support it?
License fees for the iPod to support WMA would have to be paid by Apple to Microsoft.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
Hmmmmm..... boiling the oceans is how that was supposed to work.
:rolleyes:
No, no, chances are, I am NOT behind a firewall or proxy, I am trying to correct a post on a board that is too goddamn old-school, its own admins don't know how to fix it to offer modern features, like editing posts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But will it require boiling the oceans to fully populate IPv6 space?
Yeah, but... http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news/TOS/article/28095.html
War movies are next, count on it. Remastered, digitally enhanced, flaws removed, better than the original.

Also, realize that the ISP's will update it with nearly no notice.
.html files being delivered to you.
I update the TOS with no notice, too. Like me, they do not seem to notice or care that unilateral changes have been made to the TOS.
Who is to say that "adjustment of your computer settings" doesn't include adjustment of
The meanings of the terms "adjustment," "your computer," "settings," and ".html files being delivered to you," that's what.
irregardless of whether you're guilty or not.
I'm sorry, but due to its extreme inanity, I have trademarked the non-word "irregardless" and now charge $50,000 per violation. Pay up!

I looked at the text of the bill, and can't find anything that touches on the use of encryption. You sure you got the right bill?

If you don't get enough bang to end life on Earth, you would just destroy your own country for no reason.
Attempting to use such a device isn't reason enough? Sounds like poetic justice to me.
