It's not twice the fuel. It takes most of the fuel to get to speed. At that point the booster is SIGNIFICANTLY lighter, so it takes (again with that word) SIGNIFICANTLY LESS fuel to slow down, and then to land.
Multiple reasons why somebody would target these servers (BTW: I was at the talk. Their video is at http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?... . )
Anyways, IMHO, reasons:
1) As a gateway into the hospital so you can pwn servers to DDOS others
2) As a gateway into medical records so you can better phish, or possibly blackmail your targets
I'm seeing tons of attacks coming from China and Hong Kong ( http://longtail.it.marist.edu/... ), but only Level 3 seems to be doing anything about blocking them http://www.lightreading.com/se...
Even though they'll never be able to block all the attacks, the backbone providers could at least slow them down.
For what it's worth, http://longtail.it.marist.edu/... shows a significant drop off of attacks from China yesterday (Thursday) and today (Friday). FYI: Longtail is an ssh brute force analysis program with 11 ssh honeypots live today. I've been getting almost 300,000 attempts per day, but only got about 75,000 yesterday, and 88,000 (so far) today.
Without knowing any of the gory details, I have to wonder if this could have been caught by the network team monitoring and characterizing the inbound/outbound traffic and watching for anomalies.
C) This has been discussed for years, and the general consensous has always been it's better to not patch their systems (allthough I disagree with that. If you left your system open, you're just asking for somebody else to patch it for you, IMHO)
The email attributed the piece to "Colonel L. Caudill USMC (Ret)." We did some research and found that apparently there is no Col (or Major) L. Caudill USMC (Ret). Rather it appears that the essay was written by Marko Kloos and posted on his blog on March 23, 2007. You can read more of his essays by clicking here. Unfortunately there are none posted after July, 2008. But if you like the essay above you will also find this one interesting, particularly if you are in the market for a handgun. And there are other gun related pieces on Marko's blog you will likely be interested in.
EVERYONE needs to send letters (NOT emails) to their state's senators. If enough people deluge their offices with "Shutdown the TSA" mail, they'll finally get a clue and do something about.
And yes, spend the money on a stamp, these guys pay more attention to paper mail than email.

Why stop at winning once? So you don't get caught at it. The governement of (Insert your country here) is going to make sure you "disappear" into (Insert name of your country's version of Area 51) that you won't even know what hit you!

Nina Reiser filed for divorce three months later, citing irreconcilable differences and saying their children "hardly know their father" because he was out of the country on business for most of the year, according to court records.
"Verbal statements made in court" BECOMES "Court Transcript" BECOMES "Court Records". There is not anything here saying whether or not it was proven or not.
Nina Reiser was granted a temporary restraining order against her husband in December 2004 after she reported that he had pushed her and was abusive to her. A year later, she agreed not to seek a permanent order.
Temporary Restraining Orders are easy to get, and hard to keep. In a divorce, one of the favorite tactics (of both sides) is to file for a TRO. Usually these get thrown out of court some months later. Judges typically grant TROs because nobody wants to be the judge who denied a TRO against an abusive spouse. But most of the time, TROs are just stupid games that people play.
Hans Reiser was accused earlier this year of failing to pay medical and child-care expenses as ordered by a judge, records show. He pleaded not guilty Aug. 25 to a civil contempt charge and was scheduled for trial in October.
Again, it is very easy to "accuse" somebody. One of the games spouses play is to not send bills to the other spouse, and then file a civil suit against them for "failure to pay". This is usually yet another game in custody and visitation battles.
Not that I am defending this guy, but the "evidence" in the article that he was a "bad man", just isn't any evidence at all.
Why don't they ever compare graphics cards to slightly older cards? I have an ATI 9200 but have not a clue if these cards are the worse, the same, or better than the card I already have in my box...

So how long until http://longtail.it.marist.edu/ starts seeing and categorizing SSH Brute Force attacks from Cuba?
So how do you know if you had an error if you return "0" for a divide by 0 error? Now you have a whole 'nother set of problems to code around.

I have an ssh honeypot analyzer at longtail.it.marist.edu at Marist College and it shows that the second most popular account after root is "admin", and that the most common account/password tried is ubnt/ubnt.
Anybody who's been paying attention knows that default passwords on home routers are high on the bad guy's list of accounts to hack.

It's not bad planning, it's that the mission was to deliver goods. NOT deliver goods AND recover the booster.

The Reisers were married in 1999 and frequently traveled to Russia, where she was born. They separated in May 2004.
