The site in question (SecLists.Org) is run by Fyodor and hosts archives for many security mailing lists. Someone posted MySpace passwords on one of those lists. MySpace could have contacted the original poster, the manager of the original list, or Fyodor directly. They had the domain shut down instead.
It's akin to Diebold or the RIAA having the slashdot.org domain yanked because someone posted an election machine or DRM exploit in a thread.
Same here. Decades ago, there were legions of (mostly) women working in secretarial pools pounding out letters on manual typewriters all day long. Why is RSI a recent phenomenon?
I've always wondered why "cracker" has been pushed as an industry term. If you choose an English-speaking person at random and ask them to define "cracker," you might get one of the following definitions:
A small piece of flatbread
A large device for separating chemicals
The college-rock band
A caucasian
The definition you likely won't get is the one used in the article.
What's wrong with "intruder"? It's a perfectly clear, cromulent word.
It's damn hard to run a 50-person business without Microsoft software. It's next to impossible to do so when you scale up to 100, 1000, or 10,000 people. This alone makes them a de facto monopoly as far as I'm concerned.

Let's talk per capita. Because that's really what matters.
You're saying that if everyone in Luxembourg burned a pile of tires they'd be worse polluters than China?
...and since djb won't bring it in to the current century, integrating all of the new features necessary for today's SMTP world becomes more and more hacky and patchy.
You've outlined an (important IMHO) advantage yourself.
The average Slashdot poster isn't diligent enough to RTFA or use proper spelling and grammar. You think I'd trust them to properly install and lock down a home network?
Would last century's Model T be street legal today? The things that make today's vehicles less fuel-efficient than a Model T also make them safer (and faster and more comfortable and...)

Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) has been pretty popular despite getting very little coverage from the industry trade press.
You do realize you're arguing with a Vonnegut character, don't you?

Does linux offer something similar to a HOSTS file?
The HOSTS file is completely different in Linux. It's spelled with lower-case letters.
I'd just be happy if they wouldn't turn up so many false positives.

What's the difference between this and SRTP?
My initial reaction to this was: Bjork is a petite gal, but she's not that small...

Try this:
- Traceroute off your network, e.g. to cnn.com
- For each hop in the route, run 'ntpdate -q '
9 times out of 10, you'll find an NTP server one or two hops away.
There's always Il Duce...
That's three counterexamples compared to every other small, medium, and large business in the industrialized world.
BTW, are you saying that Red Hat and Apple don't use MS Office?

Does it let you determine offsets for open files yet? I'd really, really like to be able to run lsof -o under Linux.

They most certainly do run phone service over coax. Time-Warner does it here locally.

It's more likely there was a duplex mismatch. What the hell is an "encryption/compression collision"?
Don't worry. Your personal email isn't that interesting.
Why can't we drop the hacker/cracker nonsense and just use the word intruder?

Let me get this straight - you want to pit students and lecturers against the legal team of the RIAA or a major label?
It was a valid question. For some, Linux is "decent." For others, it's "deficient."
Were you trying to spell "decent" or "deficient"?
