Sounds like reinventing fail2ban to me.. and writing an article about it. He even says what really worked was 1) removing the domains from his named config and 2) refusing to talk to the IP's that were obviously DDOSing.. #2 is what fail2ban does automatically and dynamically..
I totally agree.. streaming is pointless to me except for old TV shows or something. Movies, I can't put up with the quality. Even with Netflix HD which is not really HD quality, and nevermind the sound sucks. Seems like many people who would pay extra for entertainment would be in the same boat. Larger-screen 1080p displays and good sound systems.
I just know that a streaming netflix movie on a 108" 1080p projection screen turned up hurts your eyes and ears with the compression artifacts and compressed sound.
I recall visiting an older friend in college in 1994. We both had TI DLC486-40 CPU's at the time, and he was compiling this new thing called "lie-nucks" and it scrolled some messages on the screen. I ran a BBS then under DOS 5, and I believe I had a "softmodem" card that theoretically could do 33.6Kbps but I never saw better than 28.8 and that was only a few times with my crappy phonelines.
Was just in China last week. Own a CDMA Droid 1, which was on international roaming (1x speed). I noticed I could access facebook, so I tried a few other things. Long story short, I was able to access the wikipedia article on Tienamen square while IN tienamen square. Well, briefly then I put the phone away and got out of sight.
Yeah I agree running the red light is bad. But I think it is worse that the red light camera companies (i.e. RedFlex) require that the intersection yellow light duration be lowered to the minimum allowable by law when they are installed. How does that promote public safety? Not to mention the places where they violate the law and lower it even further just to get more money.
Uhhh what? I have a Droid with verizon and there's no trace of V-anything. Unless you go to the market and install the basic verizon stuff. I think you are livin' in the past.
This seems different than the typical Martha Stewart type deal..
Just read some of this stuff.. They had phone taps on these guys for a YEAR... They were blatantly sharing information, and it even infers at one point that the IBM Exec got there through influence from this group of people doing the insider trading..
Well, I'm glad I saw this.. I thought because one of my channels moved from UHF to VHF I couldn't pick it up. But I followed the guide in the link and found the physical channel was wrong. Checked antenna web, updated the channel and it's working again. Thanks to the submitter for posting this!
I agree with the OP. The purpose of this encryption capability is more for data at rest, and for secure erase of data. I'd say this is a good feature just for the fact that wherever the drive ends up after I've used it, the bits on the platters are not in plaintext.
If you think a PC, even a cheap PC, is too noisy for use in a living room, then you're doin' it wrong. Any of the modern cases w/ 120mm fans are going to be extremely quiet. And as long as you pick a graphics card geared towards TV and not 3d gaming (i.e. 8600GT from Gigabyte) they will be silent as well.
Encrypt it to where? Encryption requires the endpoint be the other side of the conversation. It isn't just something anyone can decide to do for all their online activities. Unless you mean encrypt everything out to some proxy and then to the rest of the internet.
Funny, the version I loaded on wikipedia just now says it was 'Dramatic Prairie Dog' and Jack Bauer who were guarding the Bastille. I'll have to reload again.

Wat? FTA:

Why not install fail2ban instead of this verbose description of script hacking??

I remember when TV's had VCR's built in.

I agree. The GP was not accurate.

How does that promote public safety? Not to mention the places where they violate the law and lower it even further just to get more money.
And, the cameras don't even help what I see as the main issue in the intersections, which is people failing to yield on left turns. That has nothing to do with the red light cameras.

I herd u like security holes, so we put Twitter in yo online banking software so you can have security holes in your security holes!
I always found the posts that begin with "I wish I had mod points to mod you up" stupid, but now I find myself posting one.
Good post.

Yeah, darn. I was trying to make a joke by just linking to some wiki articles as if I was using my 'knowledge' to argue, but it didn't work :(
"Let's try to limit the Wikipedia notion that knowledge and trivia are the same thing."
I beg to differ:

You're talking about their 401k's in the U.S. Stock market, right??

as well as the affect that has varies significantly from one color-blind person the next.
Now, I'd normally think this should be 'effect', but I wonder if you might be doing this.
