Any security system that can be terminated without authorization is no security system at all. I really don't see how anyone can seriously advance the argument that it's not the responsibility of a security product to protect itself.As soon as you have malware running on your system, you're game over. If a HIPS/firewall/antivirus solution can't keep stuff from coming in, forget about it. And yes, I believe that outbound filtering by software firewalls is basically useless.
HIPS may be yet another case of "putting lipstick on the pig," but until somebody in Redmond decides to audit and (potentially) rewrite something like 50+ million lines of source code, I'd like to have all options available.Bullocks - NT is safe. You just need to run as a limited account instead of having admin privileges. Yes, this can be a pain because of how the non-kernel components of NT are done, but just drop your rights for internet-facing stuff, then.




This is a bad game, a very very bad game.No, it's just too diffcult to click-click-cilck-solve. If you don't want to brain it, don't play it.

- but P5E3 sounds a bit old-ish for a new system, even if it's (judging from the "3") using DDR3 memory? (which is insanely expensive atm).


I want this program so I can redo an existing ACL structure and the interface windows provides is useless.The XCOPY trick doesn't work?-justice (July 24, 2008, 04:11 AM)


Just a quick addition - you don't have to host a domain name in order to have an unchanging emaill address.Does that mean you have [email protected] email addresses? If so, what if pobox should ever go down?
For years now we've had my wife's e-mail through http://www.pobox.com. It's a service that simply receives e-mail and forwards it on to any address you specify. Change ISPs? Simply change the address your e-mail is forwarded to.
The annual fee is really low, and you can even have multiple aliases for aggregation, etc. For a less technical user who doesn't want to deal with the whole domain regsitration/setup/maintenance process, I'd definitely recommend this service.-Jimdoria (July 21, 2008, 09:31 AM)
this is off-topic but is there a way to embed videos in the thread itself? i've seen this in some forums. that way we don't have to open a new tab/window.Dunno about that idea. Would be nice convenience for us, but the other site would have "leech" traffic, without the possibility of serving ads... and some sites do referrer checking to block things like this, anyway.-lanux128 (July 22, 2008, 07:53 PM)
Looks like something to have a look at, thanks. It wasn't too much bother getting redmine running under lighttpd, but it did feel a bit hacky (had toAlso, the wiki documentation is slightly out-of-date, and it isn't a 100% step-by-step newbie guide.
But with some linux experience and time for googling, it worked out without too much trouble.
I found that the easyest and most flexible way to deploy it, supporting multiple installs and/or other RoR applications, is using passenger(modrails) with Apache, especially if it has to co-exist with php webapps and lots of other stuff.-Gothi[c] (July 21, 2008, 08:31 PM)

The robocopy method is unfortunately necessary because subversion only allows checkouts to empty folders. When we moved to svn, we already had some existing sites with file system permissions set in several places. We're moving webservers soon and until then don't want to mess up any filesystem permissions so are forced to copy changes over for some sites. Soon it will just be a clean checkout from the repository.Once you've done an initial "svn checkout", can't you just use "svn update" - or am I missing something?-justice (July 21, 2008, 03:15 AM)
