What Happens when the book is hit while still on the shelf by a CD thief. I don't know how many times I've been looking at books and their CD's have been "Liberated" from them.
How do you finish a 10 chapter book you can only get 8 chapters of, or how do you read a CD in the John. These are questions the publishers should have asked themselves.
Thanks for the heads up, I know I'll be checking the last chapter in the next books I get!
Hold onto your hats boys and girls, we're going for a ride!!!
I'm a lurker in the IPng Working Group mailing list and let me tell you this a "COOL THING" that IPv6 will be able to deliver.
I'm talking about a new class of address called an ANYCAST address. Basicly you will be able to specify where you want to go and the anycast address will be used to find the "closest" address that is referenced by the ANYCAST address. This means that if I type in http://foo.bar/monkeypron.html my DNS will return an ANYCAST address that can be used to connect to the most available iteration of foo.bar and then I can get my monkeypron at blazing speeds.
Now all we have to do is hope the IETF gets IPv6 out before we KILL the internet with those 100Mbit connections (where can I get one, DROOL!!!!!)
On NT you can just do a "start/low setiathomeclient" batchfile and run it at low priority. You already should be running your DB server at/high or/realtime, right? Oh and turn off the stupid priority boost on foreground apps. I can wait 2 extra seconds for my User Manager For Domains to come up but the background is where the real work happens on a good server. It is POSSABLE to get NT up to an OK level of performance/stability. It Just takes alot more than a 2 week MCSE!
Remember that VPN comes with NT. What is the point of migrating from a platform that includes a feature you need to one where you have to spend "Thousands of Dollars" to add the feature you want???
You might want to rethink #1. I contract for the DOD ad recently found some people who were using a VCR tape demagnitizer (big electromagnet that makes fillings vibrate) on hard drives. The problem was that the drive electronics were being toasted but the casing was providing a shielding effect on the platters themselves. I proved to them that this was not a viable deletion methof by removing the electronics from an identical un-wiped drive and attaching it to a supposedly clean drive. LO AND BEHOLD 2gigs of classified data were instantly available for my espionage pleasure. Since this incident we have gone back to the traditional method of: 1) Place drive on bare concrete floor 2) Hit repeatedly with a 50# sledge (this is a BIG mofo) 3) Put your new extreme slimline drive in the trash.
You got it the wrong way around. You are talking about the DDOS CLIENTS which collectively are commiting the attack. He is talking about the TARGET of the attack. The suspended account it being attacked from several points and the ISP cares more about stopping the attack than calling the police! THIS IS A CRIME VICTIM! It's like being mugged and having the criminal only take your cash. Then the cops show up and confiscate your wallet and all your credit cards as evidence (Sorry sir, you can have them back in 6 to 8 weeks.)
I have never read the bible, nor do i believe a word of it. While I do not agree entirely with the argument you are rebuting please consider at least looking at a Bible or a scholarly work on a biblical subject and reform your opinion. MANY of the events in the bible are established historical fact. The old testiment is one of the most complete histories of a people (Jews) available in modern times. Many events in the Bible have been varified by indepentant (and sometimes agnostic or athiest) historians.
Also remember that even if you don't believe in Satan, HE believes in YOU! (sorry to preach, I just love that phrase)
Regarding the morality of Country folk and christians: Remember that both of these communities (in their traditional sense) are close knit and everyone knows everyone else. This makes the raising of children in a moral fashion quite a bit easier since the kids are never able to get away with anything. Anyone who sees them doing what the community sees as wrong can say "I know who your mother is!" This is simply a system of accountability in which you cannot escape the consequences of your actions.
This I believe is what the poster is refering to as immorality. People who do not feel they are responsible for their own actions consistantly disregaurd the rights of thos around them in order to fulfill their own aims. The poster sees the internet as annother environment that encourages this.
Go check the posts that are mentioned in the microsoft letter. There is ONLY ONE that quotes the standard! This one does so while keeping the copyright notice intact. The other 2 posts that they claim quote the code actualy link to it.
During the Q&A session someone asked how the performance on the crusoe compared with that of the P!!!. After a bunch of normal disclaimers about different system configs, beta silicon, and beta x86 decode software they finally equated a TM5400 @ 667Mhz to a p!!! @ 500. Not bad for code morphing in a beta state plus all the potential power savings.
Anyone have any Ideas on how I can follow the procedings with only fpt and http holes punched in my company's firewall????
I'm real interested in this announcement and can call it official business but there is no way the Firewall Nazi's in my company are going to punch any other holes.
IMHO MS Hardware is the only spinoff that I would buy stock in. They actually still produce reasonably good stuff that does not break the second you get it out of the box.
Other that that I think that the DOJ is going to have a nearly impossible time seperating IE from windows. I think we'll see a MSOS, MSAPP, and MSNET for sure, and I hope we see a MSHW or MSLABS (like the old bell labs)
The high school student who stood up has my highest admiration. To stand up in a public place and say I'm just like that discription, does that mean that you think I'm going to kill people too? takes lots of guts. It also is an excelent way to bring peoples attention to invalid or questionable typing of a person. Doubtless there were some people who knew this kid and knew that he would never do something like that, these would most likely have their opinion of typing rocked. Others probably also noticed what kind of person this was and actually started to think about the issue that they had never given it much thought.
I would encourage any students out there who fit the FBI school shooter profile to speak up! Show your parents, teachers, classmates, and school administrators that you are not a threat. Indeed, due to your inteligence and computer skills, you are a valuable asset to those around you that should be nurtured not monitored.
If all people hear are the tragedies from the media they tend to belive the worst. If there are hopefull stories coming down the grapevine or reported in local papers people tend to trust that things really aren't that bad.
Is there anyone out there who would be willing to start a petition suporting the defendants? I know that there would be no true legal value to such a document but it might show the judge/attorneys just how many people are concerned about the issues involved in this case.
Someone that is attending might also want to bring printouts of the Slashdot discussions over about this subject from the last few weeks
It depends on the wording of the settlement but usually there is specific verbage that says "nobody did anything wrong we just like these guys so much that we're gonna give them some money"
Well when I think about the difficulty of convincing a jury of average (read computer un-savy) people that:
A) Windows and dos are really 2 seperate things
B) That DR-DOS was more than "Just a Clone" of DOS
C) That when MS played squash that competitive company DOS was really alive and well (win3.0 really didn't cause as much overnight change as people think)
I think that Caldera came out pretty well. sure they only got $150M instead of $1.6B but would you like your largest profit for the year to be lawsuit income?? With this money Caldera should be able to make some substantive improvements in their business. Be it a new product, more R&D, better support, or Bonuses for all the poor overworked coders:). In the end a much better company has this chunk of mulah now and the customers will surely be the ones to benefit.
This strikes me as a "Very Good Thing"(TM). This melding of industry heavyweights with the undeniable genius of L0pht should be able to provide their clients with EXCELENT security analysis and hopefully companies will finally realize what a secure system really is.
One thing I'm wondering is whether L0pht will be continuing their individual software and hardware projects. Will they be able to keep their IP? Will they still be releasing holes?
Just food for thought.
P.S. I just can't help thinking of Alan Dean Foster's hyperactive otter from the spellsinger series every time I hear the name Mudge (grin)
How long until the feedback from the device to the satellite is used to track the movements of criminals -> suspects -> suspiscious persons -> anyone? Will any returned information be used in legal procedings? Will a database be kept? Sold? I'm sure that this issue will be discussed thouroughly in the following posts.
Second (and the point I really want to emphisize) the saftey issue:
This device will reduce the ammount of gas I'm using to slow me down. What if my wife is having a baby NOW! Will I have to putt along with everyone else (or wait 2 hours for an ambulance)? What is the guy in the car behind me is chasing me and is armed with a knife, gun, baseball bat, or oversized muscles! What if I have to goose it to avoid an accident? Will the power faail in the middle of my life saving manuver?? I learned to drive properly and was tested in order to get my license. I would much rather be in control of my speed that some computer that has electronic maps that might be out of synch with cars around me.
This issue is frought with concerns and I do not belive that partial control of a cars systems is a wise idea. If you're going to do an autopilot, do it right! Either leave the driving up to the driver's judgement or let him sit back and enjoy the ride. Don't frustrate someone in an already anoying position.
Well in San Antonio, TX there are still LOTS of fireworks going off at peoples houses (they have real fireworks not the "safe" ones I know from WA). Water, power, and phones are working. My ISP Flash.net is rejecting my password but I have a backup. The funniest thing though is that the local ABC afiliate KSAT had a Y2K bug in their "Spiffy Graphic" (tm) for the new year. I was supposed to read "1999" and then fade to "2000" but someone was smoking crack so it reads "2099" and fades into "2000"!!!! ROFL the really funny thing is that I don't think they caught it because they kept on using it. Oh Well Happy New Year Y'all! Enjoy 0000011111010000
Remember that DIVX was a even worse format! Although I am certian that if it had succeded there would be a DeDIVX decoder available now or soon. The fatal flaw of the DVD CCA was in not providing a solution that was truly cross platform and needed to be broken to make a Linux DVD player.

Don't forget that a catalytic converter uses as much as 6 ounces of platnum as it's catylist.
In this context regulated only means properly armed. It has nothing to do with organization or legal restrictions.

Have your ever actually visited Lopht Heavy Industries???

First the potential privacy issue:
