How about an OSS program that, say, once every hour would send a ping to a random host. Considering that many IT people consider a single ping to be an attack, this might set their detection systems off all the time if enough people ran it.
Perhaps, if an ISP had mixed content on their server and did not want their host to be entirely blocked they could create a pr0n.txt (or something) file containing paths with objectionable materials that Cyberpatrol would want to block. Hell, this would also eliminate the need to store a lot of hosts locally...instead, they could just store all-porn sites locally and disallow those entirely, while keeping sites with mixed content subject to the pr0n.txt file.
I'm sure that adult web search engines would soon make use of pr0n.txt to help people find content...
1) "Internet Security Systems researchers have already decoded BO2K protocols and encryption algorithms". So they know how to read source code? Amazing!
2) "Unlike a predecessor released last year that attacked Windows 95/98 systems, BO2K is designed to evade detection". Enough said. How about getting Editors with brains?
3) "On one hand, IT managers can examine code to see how BO2K operates...". And they can also examine it and see EXACTLY what it does, and then install it in place of Microsoft's remote admin. tools. With Microsoft's and other closed-source third party tools, it's anyone's guess.
4) "Users advised not to open e-mail attachments from unknown sources or accept files from Internet chat systems." How about not opening executables from ANYONE. This point is obviously poorly thought out, as the zip_explorer.exe trojan ALWAYS came from a KNOWN source. Even better, what if email programs didn't automatically run.exe's when you double click them in windows?
The problem is that on many cards, when you're getting "70 fps", you're really getting 50 to 90. And when you're getting "45 fps", you're really getting 30 to 60. And when you're getting "30", you're really getting 15 to 45 (or something like this). Where it gets choppy is when you drop to the lowest point.
All the "timedemos" that people hear about are really averages. So "70 fps" might be the minimum for one game for playability if it means that it's really dropping down low at some point.
The XR-71 became the SR-71. The SR-71 can be called back to service at any time. It was used in the persian gulf. It is a ramjet powered aircraft capable of approximately Mach 5 (to start it on the ground they have to attach turbojet engines to it to get the air moving). Ramjets require oxygen from the atmosphere.

It's our society in general. When athletics are more important than science, progress suffers. We have a great obsession with watching various sports in stadiums and colliseums, the modern equivalent of gladiators, while we could be spending it in more productive manner. Near the end of the Roman Empire, around 200 days of the year in Rome were devoted to the games at the colliseum. It gives something to think about. Athletics contributes little to society.
If we spent 1/2 of what we spend on sports, we might have a chance of getting somewhere in space.
What really makes me sick is when some major league baseball/football/hockey team owner decides he needs a new stadium, threatens to move the team to another city, and gets the politicans to open up the public purse strings up.
This is an endemic problem in North America. I recall that at the time of the last US Senate election, there was a referendum in some US city/state on whether or not to use public money to build a stadium for a pro sports team.
Five years ago, here in Calgary, AB, Canada, federal money intended for Roads, utilities, hospitals, etc. was spent on upgrading the hockey arena for the NHL team, while our roads were in the worst of shape, and we had flooding problems in several locations in the city for 3 years straight.
When the computer screws up and says a code that means "Transaction timed out" but the dumb cashier thinks it means "Pick up card and snip in half" because they haven't seen it before.
I'm sure we have more than 1/10000 error rate with Credit and Debit cards too.
I agree with this ruling. In the context of the internet, matters concerning the internet should be considered with acceptable standards for the internet. Trying to apply standards created in the real world to the internet has been a source of continuing problems. I point to CDA and the bill/law referred to CDA II in the United States. There is no point trying to apply broad laws to the internet from a particular country. Laws like the CDA tried to do this. Until an international body can agree on universal rules for the internet, and agree on how regional laws will be applied and matters of jurisdiction can be determined, decisions and matters where the internet overlaps real life (like this lawsuit) should be decided in the standards of the internet.
Perhaps in their last hours they would have liked to speak to their families, or their families to them, before they got to the point of their last breaths.

Many companies use such blocking software...through things like Cyberpatrol or mandatory proxies.
...by some software, due to the words "deep" and "penetration" in the same sentence.
("How deep is their market penetration anyway?")
Isn't the "client" the program you use to control the "server"?
So the "client" here for LINUX is just for controlling SMS-installed Windows PC's?

Well obviously your cpu power isn't enough.
Yeah, okay. Well 1/2 of them were still LINUX servers with Q3Test 1.05
Given id's track record with patches, where the last Quakeworld one was 2.33, Quake2 was 3.20, do you think the last Quake3 one will be 4.x?
Eff's machine that was used for previous competitions? Is it too expensive to pay the power bill for or something?
Or is this something completely different?

Aren't there some sort of exit clauses in whatever contract Amiga had with QNX? If Amiga was having QNX do OS work for them, then who owns it?
Or am I mistaken about this all? I don't follow the Amiga scene at all.
I always found that partitions at the end of a disk were fastest to access... Maybe I was mistaken.
Would be AOHell, I think. It was all over the newsgroups a few years back.
It might be from AOL, but it'd be interesting to see what it is capable of.
Keep in mind the number of users that AOL serves.
AOLserver (a www server) has to be fairly decent.
GEM was not a killer desktop environment.
Oh no! It's all coming back.
