Has anyone come up with a reason why they don't just put an impenetrable door on the cockpit (impenetrable to things you could sneak onto a plane anyway)? This is all moot anyway because nothing like this will ever happen again. Up until that incident, everyone just expected the hijackers to land the plane in some non-extradition country or some such nonsense. If this were to happen today, every passenger on the plane would be out for hijacker blood - box cutters or no box cutters.
Set up two identical networks (hardware-wise) with a few machines. Let Redhat and Microsoft both make a team of 5 people who get to tweak out their respective networks for a week...benchmark...Microsoft would never agree to this though.
Don't fool yourself. The only reason they are doing this is because it costs them time, bandwidth, server resources, and most importantly, customers who will go to other service providers who can provide a better defense against spam. All of these things translate into a loss of revenue for them - which is the only reason why they are trying to go after the spammers. Hell, they would spam people themselves if they thought they could get away with it! My prediction is that even if they get the ISP records subpoenaed (which is scary in itself) they are going to get traced back to someone in a country where they will have no chance of getting restitution.
I for one am getting out of california and moving to Nevada. No state tax and it is also not raping the second amendment. As far as jobs go I pretty much plan on getting out of the computer industry as my permanent job. There is always freelance, and frankly I'm getting bored with it.
hackers many time release slightly broken code when it comes to exploits so that if someone wants to actually compile the code they will have to have some knowledge of programming.
You wanted it you got it....! blender is OpenSource now. We are very sorry that the site is down now but we had to move the server because our previous ISP unplugged us last thursday! Stay tuned we will be up soon.
if this becomes too much of a problem they are just going to start putting ads at the bottom 1/5 of the screen throughout the entire program (like some do already). The point about a business model wanting legal back up once it's no longer viable was excellent. If I want to put up an electronic shield around my property so that the signal doesn't get through, that's fine and to think that I can't do that is just as rediculous as what they are saying now...
this is the scary version of the flying car promise. Open source will never be "outlawed" and there will always be free news sources on the net. The music predictions are the only ones that even come close...
I'm going to lose another karma point for posting this, but thanks for backing me up. It's rediculous. And what's up with this:
"Due to excessive bad posting from this IP or Subnet, comment posting has temporarily been disabled. If it's you, consider this a chance to sit in the timeout corner. If it's someone else, this is a chance to hunt them down. If you think this is unfair, please email jamie@mccarthy.vg with your MD5'd IPID and SubnetID, which are "b86c7aa68a0c9066d487324921be3932" and "df0c977b531eb2c6afce1d422b3c6d9b" and (optionally, but preferably) your IP number "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and your username "kasper37"."
WTF? Excessive bad posting. How 'bout excessive bad moderation.

Unless you use your left thumb for the space bar like I do...
She can pump my hydrogen anytime.

apparently their webserver is out of urine because I can't get to the site...
Anyone who uses the Dvorak layout is a communist, plain and simple.

RedHat doesn't support RedHat 5.2 anymore...sigh...
I'm sure that because of their government contracts that they are bound to silence when it comes to the code, much less making the whole project OS.

although it is from 1988 this is still the best paper I've ever read on the subject. He covers all of the pertinent points and more importantly he lists his refereces.
worst, interview, ever....
Looks like they took the money and ran...
most, ahh what the hell...columbo...you know who this is!
unfortunately 90% of the hackers' logins could be bypassed using a single sheet of plain white paper.
In even other news it was shown that every unix is vulnerable to the "floppy boot" flaw and has been exploitable since 1969.
just design your site so people can only view pages by following links inside the site. Why is litigation always the first avenue pursued?

Why don't they just put bandwidth limits on their customers and charge them for going over their limit?
This is not even close to as cool as the Superant colony found last year...
