Hear, hear. soon Mr. Clueless will simply say "Red Hat" instead of LinuxI am afraid we are already at this point. I've heard it - haven't you? It may be a bit paranoid to expect those kinds of moves, but that kind of foresight is what keeps corporations like Redhat.
Give me a break - are we talking about your home computer or work computer? Did you purchase the computer you use at work? If the answers are "work" and "no" then you can't do a damn thing about such a policy.
The company owns the hardware, network, data, and your time between breaks. If they want to monitor your keystrokes, that is their perogative.
The company where I work has two kinds of phones -- the supervisor model has a monitor function that allows the manager to listen to all phone conversations of any employee in their department. You just don't have personal conversations with inappropriate content and there will be no problem. If you can't deal with such a policy, start your own company.
You don't need the stub network. You can route 10.0.0.x to the bit bucket on the ISP's aggregate router, which would be better for the router's CPU utilization anyways
True dat, but wasn't the idea of rerouting the traffic rather than dropping it in the bit bucket to trace it?
Preaching to the choir, but ...

Microsoft Loses

Yes, I also lost money today (on non-MSFT stock - I don't own any of that). So what. Bill G. lost more and that is what should have happened. Shareholders have to take the bad with the good and anyone who has been tuned into M$'s practices for the last... well, forever, should have seen this coming.
As for companies which took a dive because M$ did, what about the companies like Intel and Netscape that were held back and whose shareholders failed to profit due to M$'s unfair and indeed, illegal business practices...
FUD: A device by which M$ or its cronies attempts to inspire one with the idea that anything antiMicrosoft is negative. (read: if we have choices, we won't know what to do -- gasp!)
I'm guessing Mountain View, CA is somewhere near... Redmond, WA.
Of course, whatever ruling he passes, MS will likely appeal. Oh well
More like: whatever ruling he passes, M$ will definitely appeal. That is the problem. Microsoft can and will keep this crap up as long as their lawyers have breath in their lungs and ink in their pens (I doubt if even M$ lawyers use computers to any great extent). But I'm not bitter...
Main Entry: recursion Pronunciation: ri-'k&r-zh&n Function: noun Etymology: Late Latin recursion-, recursio, from recurrere Date: 1616
RETURN
the determination of a succession of elements (as numbers or functions) by operation on one or more preceding elements according to a rule or formula involving a finite number of steps
a computer programming technique involving the use of a procedure, subroutine, function, or algorithm that calls itself in a step having a termination condition so that successive repetitions are processed up to the critical step until the condition is met at which time the rest of each repetition is processed from the last one called to the first -- compare ITERATION
Good point. One IPL and *every* virtual machine comes down. Course that won't happen often, but it will happen.
Redundancy is best done with physical rather than logical devices. I will sleep much better knowing I have multiple boxes, running multiple raid controllers and multiple physical disks than one bug ultraserver with many OS'es.
Basically, I think the whole Sun v. IBM thing comes down to the person who makes decisions for the shop. I worked in a place where the Operations manager was refered to by saying, "If you cut him he'll bleed blue." If I am making the decision for the shop and have great experience with Sun, that is who I will choose. If IBM is my fav, that'll be the recommendation to management.
What is the deal with this section of the Judge's ruling?
Ideas bear consequences, fruitful and also destructive. The pernicious idea that all men are not created equal is the philosophic bais which incited the degradations of slavery and the genocidal slaughter of the Holocaust.
Ummm - ok? We are talking about freedom of information, here, not the genocidal slaughter of millions of Jews. Methinks the judge has some kind of issue to work out before he publishes any more rulings of law.
Tripwire: [Description] Tripwire is a system integrity checker, a utility that compares properties of designated files and directories against information stored in a previously generated database. Any changes to these files are flagged and logged, including those that were added or deleted. With Tripwire, system administrators can conclude with a high degree of certainty that a given set of files remain free of unauthorized modifications if Tripwire reports no changes.
lsof: [Description] Lsof is a Unix-specific diagnostic tool. Its name stands for LiSt Open Files, and it does just that. It lists information about any files that are open by processes currently running on the system.

CASL [Description] Custom Auditing Scripting Language (CASL) implements a packet shell environment for the Custom Auditing Scripting Language that is the basis for the Cybercop(tm) line of products by Network Associates. The CASL environment provides an extremely high performance environment for sending and receiving any normal and/or morbid packet stream to firewalls, networking stacks and network intrusion detection systems as well as being sufficiently rich of a language to write honeypots, virtual firewalls, surfer hotel, phantom networks and jails.
Writing journals carry ads that warn writers to use the TM symbol whenever using a trademarked name. One ad I remember was from Xerox(TM) which differentiated its name from the common reference to copies which many people incorrectly use: "Is that your xerox?"
Since "coke" is slang, it should not be a problem, but if it has been trademarked, Coca-Cola Corp. has a leg to stand on. IANAL, but a friend of mine was sued by a French company in France for this same kind of thing and the company won.
In any case, the matter will be settled according to the laws of the country in which the suit is brought, if any. Since Coca-Cola has such big pockets, they will probably pursue this unless enough negative sentiment can be raised against them for picking on the little guy and it becomes a PR problem.
First let us postulate that the computer scientists succeed in developing intelligent machines that can do all things better than human beings can do them.
Whoa, cowboy - that's a *big* postulate. We have to acheive massively parallel AI, not to mention a much greater degree of dexterity than currently possible before we can begin to talk about most, much less all, things people can do.
What we do suggest is that the human race might easily permit itself to drift into a position of such dependence on the machines that it would have no practical choice but to accept all of the machines' decisions.
As immersed in technology as this readership might be, it is easy to forget that there are a lot of people who don't even like computers and don't want to rely on them. The majority of people might be reliant on microwaves and televisions, but not intelligent devices.
This is still in the realm of sci-fi as far as I can see.

How was the chicken salad?
Yes, but the author is talking about rerouting the DDOS traffic here, assuming you can tell the difference from 'legitimate' traffic.
What I want to know is how the hell is one supposed to reroute one without the other, which is something I don't thing he addresses.
True dat, but wasn't the idea of rerouting the traffic rather than dropping it in the bit bucket to trace it?

Is that anything like an April Bar?

Before downloading and installing BeOS 5 Personal Edition, please read the Readme file for important information.
Mirrors are already posted. Have fun ...
They actually do that well. I like their keyboard, joysticks and this box sounds sweet. If only they would leave the OS and NOS market alone ;)
Seriously, tho this is scary as hell. I sure hope the nukes still require a couple of keys to be turned.

Umm - they pretty much already do. Landings (the part I care most about) are programmed into the flight computer :)
