"Bottleguy" is a Kirk Johnson aka Goatse Man image. There's actually quite a few in circulation, featuring such delights as him cranking his ass open with a vice and inserting 2 huge dildos, and at least one film (showing the goatse process in all its glory). hello.jpg is just his most famous contribution to internet culture.
I am aware of that. I, as well as my friends, believe that most experienced web surfers have seen goatse before and should be exposed to new truely awful images as a means of shock via inline linked images.
A friend of mine uses the image from the site "www bottleguy com" (I purposely borked link for everyone's protection) for anti-inline linking purposes.
For those of you out there who don't want to RTF/.A, the children's section of the Fuddruckers website was pwned because they inline linked a flash game. The game's developer set his.htaccess file to redirect the traffic from the Fuddruckers site to a page which bashed the Fuddruckers webmaster and opened numerous popups which contained graphic pictures of slaughter houses. Making matters worse for Fuddruckers was the fact that this all occurred during the Labor Day weekend, so the content wasn't removed for a few days.
I think Mike did the right thing by not goatseing. Mike's image was up for roughly 2 hours. If he had goatse'd instead, most likely the image would have been removed much much sooner.
As a side note, I am a webmaster for a few small sites. When I encounter inline image linking, I tend to replace the image with another which says "I am a Grade A Asshat. I steal bandwidth" or other suitable saying. I reserve hello.jpg for exceptional circumstances (read: someone uses my images on ebay, or some other site which really kills my bandwidth).
They did in the first season of the new Dr. Who (the 2005 season). The Daleks were in the second season (2006), and will be in the new 2007 (third season) too.
More seriously, though... I could see Microsoft releasing their own distro for server use and maybe desktop use.
I could see them having a normal distribution with a very proprietary closed source application which would allow a user to run windows apps natively. This could be set up so that end users could run MS linux with some of their favorite free apps alongside MS Office. Or maybe run Exchange server on the same box as the local OpenLDAP server.
I am the registered owner of an internet domain which includes the term "Linux." Do I need a sublicense?

He was lucky. Most movie crime fighters get killed hours before they are set to retire. On top of that, they get killed as collateral damage, all because they accompanied a super cop, like Chuck Norris or Arnold.
isnt the saying "those who do, do. those who cant do, teach. those whose cant teach work for the government?
Actually, the saying is "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, teach education. Those who can't teach education work for SCO or the US Government."
Well, OOPONIES was taken by Slashdot, so they were left with two choices: OOXML and OOSPAGHETTIOS. OOXML won, but only because it was easier to spell before the first cup o coffee in the morning.
Changed the statement in the jargon file that most hackers tend to be somewhat libertarian, which is probably true, whether you agree with that philosophy or not, to read that most hackers are Neoconservative, which is demonstrably false...
Formerly vaguely liberal-moderate, more recently moderate-to-neoconservative (hackers too were affected by the collapse of socialism). There is a strong libertarian contingent which rejects conventional left-right politics entirely. The only safe generalization is that hackers tend to be rather anti-authoritarian; thus, both paleoconservatism and 'hard' leftism are rare. Hackers are far more likely than most non-hackers to either (a) be aggressively apolitical or (b) entertain peculiar or idiosyncratic political ideas and actually try to live by them day-to-day.
Hey, since you're back, let me ask you to expand on why gigabit ethernet won't work. I'm confused about that since there shouldn't be any problem linked up as and reading packets at 1 Gb/sec in my experience.
The best explination I can give comes from the Wikipedia entry for gigabit ethernet. I have put in bold the exact technical reason why a passive ethernet tap cannot work with gigabit ethernet.
1000BASE-T (also known as IEEE 802.3ab) is a standard for gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring. It requires, at a minimum, Category 5 cable (the same as 100BASE-TX), but Category 5e ("Category 5 enhanced") and Category 6 cable may also be used and are often recommended. 1000BASE-T requires all four pairs to be present and is far less tolerant of poorly installed wiring than 100BASE-TX.
Each network segment can have a maximum distance of 100 meters, although several chip manufacturers claim 150 meters. Autonegotiation is a requirement for using 1000BASE-T according to the standard. Several device drivers will allow you to force 1000 Mbps full duplex to eliminate autonegotiation issues.
Now, before anyone chimes in "...but 1000BASE-TX only uses 2 pairs...". Yes, this is true, but the Wikipedia article linked above states:
However, the two-pair solution required Category 6 cable and has been a commercial failure, likely due to the rapidly falling cost of 1000BASE-T products combined with the Category 6 cable requirement. Many 1000BASE-T products are advertised as 1000BASE-TX due to lack of knowledge that 1000BASE-TX is actually a different standard.
1. They *don't* work with gigabit ethernet. If I remember the spec for gigabit ethernet correctly, this has something to do with the fact all of the wire pairs are used for XMIT and RECV.
2. The passive tap in the link you provided isn't exactly good for your network. This tap will still draw current as well as introduce some interference. In the worst case, you can blow a NIC with one of these. Of course, the easiest way around these problems is to use a hub (do not use a network switch as that won't work... you need a HUB).
3. You will need to run 2 NICs (1 for XMIT, 1 for RECV) in order to examine full duplex traffic. This may be an issue if you are trying to run snort on an embedded device.
If I had the option, I would rather run a spare computer as a Linux (or BSD based for that matter) firewall box and use port mirroring to mirror ethernet traffic over IEEE1394 (firewire) to another box running snort. The only downside is that ethernet over firewire is at best a 400 megabit connection.

How dare you make such a false alligation such as that?

Nice. :-)

Magic Mushroom!
Knowing Microsoft, they would make it so that every time you run the "man" command, Clippy would pop up.
(jokingly) More likely "White Flag GNU/Linux".

Ok, 2 AC's have posted links to http://www.linuxgenuineadvantage.org/ .
Now, not wanting to sound like a troll, but RedHat 7.3 had an update service which was kinda like that.
However, according to the FAQ at linuxmark.org,
Sure they can. Hell, they can have their own Linux distro if they really wanted to do that too.
Nope. They will be judged by George Lucas on their potential for the addition of Jar Jar Binks.

Not quite. The exact wording is (From http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/politics.html ):

I know about span ports, but I totally forgot to include them in my post.
I did a network security project for a class at Loyola University Chicago not too long ago. As part of that project, I built a passive ethernet tap.
There are a few problems with passive taps...
1. They *don't* work with gigabit ethernet. If I remember the spec for gigabit ethernet correctly, this has something to do with the fact all of the wire pairs are used for XMIT and RECV.
2. The passive tap in the link you provided isn't exactly good for your network. This tap will still draw current as well as introduce some interference.

Boaring!
Fair enough.
I happen to be friends of a few former InstallShield employees, and that happened to be their statement.
