I agree that public dns servers can be a security risk. Is is possible to get a blocklist and add it to the dns server automatically. (instead of manually creating new zones and host records)
If that is true, I would like to see the email. Please send it to ads@calgarycomputerfix.com. I am also interested in advertising domains that are not blocked on my server.
My solution to solve this problem is to block the domains of the servers that host these ads such as (pagead2.googlesyndication.com) by using a dns server. This is better than firefox ad-blocking or most other systems. This system prevents any connection to the advertising server.
I have a dns server for ad-blocking that is publicly avaiable at 68.147.32.114.

I agree raid0 drives for the storing the games and then use a dedicated drive for the os. If you have 1gb or more, I would disable the paging file. Otherwise, I would also put it on a dedicated drive (old 250mb+ hdd).
On the slashdot poll, most people said that they did not read the eula. I was one of them. Hopefully software compaines will not quiz you on the eula before installing the software.:(
The Wireless Zero Configuration service (WZC) Ad-Hoc vulneribility is a very old one. I knew about this for a long time before this article came out. There is also a vulneribility that will allow you to acquire the wireless keys on WZC. The program wzcook.exe which is part of aircrack will give you the keys for the wireless networks that are stored by the WZC.
This is similar to the Star Trek Voyager episode Friendship One. Sometime before the Federation a probe is sent out to tell aliens about earth. If the Borg intercepted the probe, Earth would likely be assimilated.
I hope that this does reduce the amount of unwanted 3rd party software on program installers. If you do have this junk on your computer, I recommend Ad-Aware.
The hosts file is good for ad blocking if you put the domain names of the advertising sites with the localhost IP and have netcat listen for connections from an IP other than local host with the capital "L" (nc -L -p 80 22.43.133.93) and then have a hosts file like this:
More infomation on this system will be available on my site sometime in the future I will also release a beta version of a hosts file based ad blocking system http://s010600609736b3d7.cg.shawcable.net/tech

It is easy to bypass by placing the file inside an encrypted file then distributing the encrypted file with a password. I do this to send exe files over email and MSN
I think that it is better to remember one long string of characters instead of remembering a bunch of passwords.
My old password was:

Bittorrent is in my opinion better that kazaa or limewire for downloading when you get a good torrent file. I am glad to see a program that can be used for pircay receiving financial support. This is good news compared to limewire blocking unliscenced content and the new anti piracy lab.
I am glad that the FBI is going to do more to get rid of porn. I used to recieve pornographic spam on my email. It can also be a nuisence with p2p downloading. Sometimes you get porn when you are looking for legitimate content. Glad to be rid of it.
Most of these files are files are small in size usually 1mb and therefore easily to detect. Some of these are exe files which is an obvious red flag. For this reason, I think that this is not a big problem. People should know better than to download a movie that is 52k in size.
I also recommend using a seperate computer for downloading. This is a good idea for security because if the computer gets infected, you can just reinstall without damaging your main computer. The other benefit is that it does not use the resources of you main computer
I expect that limewire will lose a lot of users because almost all of the files that I download to not have licenses. I think that many people will quit using limewire if this licensing thing goes through. I certainly will. If there are less files available, there is no reason to continue using it. Considering that limewire is free, and the other filesharing programs are also free, there is no reason to continue using limewire and i expect a sudden drop of users when the licensing comes online. I would recommend as an alternative torrentreactor.net.to or.com
Security is not given as much attention as it deserves. Most wireless networks are unencrypted. some people do not apply patches, use firewalls, or have good security practises. This site proves my point because they do not use SSL for the login. This means that someone can obtian your username and password. The polls should require login to stop people from changing their ip addresses.
In my opinion wireless is usually not setup properly. Wireless access points should not use WEP and should use WPA intead. I have a video clip from the news about wireless security from my site.

PIN numbers are should be larger. 4 digits 0-9 is way too small. There should be a max of at least 15 digits.

WEP is the very insecure and can be cracked in 8 hours
for more on the wireless take a look at this page from my website Wireless Security
If the bandwidth is an issue, imagine how much bandwidth would be wasted on a large network loading ads

I completely agree. I use this vulneribility when I want to copy protected content. Copy protection is completely useless.
Just play the audio into a recorder by connecting the headphone port to the microphone port.
