1.0.5.48_1.1.79 is vulnerable. As I had one laying around, plugged it in and it would execute code when I shot it the url.

Updated to V1.0.7.2_1.1.93 also vulnerable.

http://router-address/cgi-bin/...'

Kills the httpd demon and doesn't allow remote execution (or web management) until rebooted, where router-adress is the netgear. That is work around enough.

" ...You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anyone or anything.' But the plans were on display...' o n display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.' `That's the display department.' `With a torch.' `Ah, well the lights had probably gone.' `So had the stairs.' `But look you found the notice didn't you?' `Yes,' said Arthur, `yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of The Leopard".' -- Douglas Adams.

It's about the same to turn off the ads. Or will be soon. You get what you pay for.

I've enjoyed Steve Jackson Games for years. I have Zombie Dice, Illuminati and Munchkin and have enjoyed Ogre and Car Wars in table top and computer form. I've played GURPS as well. That is a diverse bunch of games from one company.

What is your game design process like?

What elements do computer game design and tabletop design have in common?

I'd rather use Fedora 17.

From the FAQ:

It supports the Essex version and will support the next rev when released, but this part bothers me:

"What are the requirements for using the preview software?

A: The preview version of the Red Hat OpenStack software only works with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 or higher. You'll need a Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription for each server you install with the Red Hat OpenStack software."

It maybe less work than with Fedora 17- but 17 includes OpenStack and has a how to get started (some bash-ing required).

"Each campus or office got a /48 address block, which meant that it was allotted 280 addresses. In turn, each building got a /56 block of those addresses (or about 272 addresses) and each VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) received a /64 block, or about 264 addresses."

a /48 block is 65536 subnets for each campus. A /64 has 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IP addresses.

The RFCs on this type of thing are RFC 6177 which replaced 3177 and RFC 5375. For a itworld/usenix article, fact checking is really low.

You should check out the Palo Alto Networks firewall. It does some interesting things, and came to that obvious conclusion a while ago.

And it deals with Port 80 and Port 443 really well.

My other favorite thing is applications- ever try to let ftp through a firewall (or stop skype?)- port hopping, neither a client nor a server, very interesting. Well the PAN stuff has that nailed down- you can't depend on port and protocol anymore, you need multiple ways to identify an app- and it has them.

DD on OSX is what I use.

      1. Download the desired .img or .iso file
      2. Open a Terminal (under Utilities)
      3. Run diskutil list to get the current list of devices
      4. Insert your flash media
      5. Run diskutil list again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/disk2)
      6. Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN
      7. Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m
      8. Run diskutil eject /dev/diskN and remove your flash media when the command completes

UTM is a crock. It loads multiple single purpose apps on to a general purpose computing device and then tries to do it quickly.

The best thing in this field I've seen recently is Palo Alto Networks firewall (www.paloaltonetworks.com).

Knows the applications, even web apps. It can tell the difference between Gmail and gchat. Bittorent and wow torrent patching. Can do user based rules when integrated with AD. And can proxy SSL to look in the SSL stream if necessary. Malware blocking, url filtering via subscription. Because ports or protocols != applications and IP address != user anymore.

Either they don't use McAfee secure ( http://www.mcafeesecure.com/us/ Probably the right website, who knows really ), or their own dog food is garbage.

Either way it is bad gaffe. XSS is pretty well known in security circles. And this mistake is a relatively simple one (output validation or output filtering? please. After you read the linked article, you'll be even more sad they didn't catch this.

I hope not. There are a few pieces that are critical in education that are very difficult to do with distance learning:

1- make relationships with students and teachers. Sometimes the relationships with other students or teachers are what makes the difference in life.

2- the moral component is very hard to teach with distance learning. I'd rather nuclear chemistry or even computer science be taught within a moral framework- because it is easy to use great knowledge for the wrong purpose

3- subtlety of expression- sometimes lost in distance learning- actually it is lost in large classroom sizes sometimes as well.

It was actually a pretty good article. I'd disagree with the order, but those would all be on my list.

The summary is:

        * 1. Diablo II
        * 2. MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries
        * 3. People's General
        * 4. StarCraft
        * 5. Fallout
        * 6. Baldur's Gate (and BG2)
        * 7. WarCraft III
        * 8. Battlefield 1942
        * 9. Freelancer
        * 10. Allegiance

I'd like to see that business plan. I suspect if you build it at 250$ the least you could sell it for and not go out of business is 500$. That might be normal.

83% cost of manufacture? At a price point of a few hundred dollars, it is almost impossible to break even, much less turn a profit.

You could survive 80%+ cost of manufacture if you had a very low price point (1$ or less), had no support or return costs, and very low advertising and could sell millions or billions of them. Even then you would want to get down to 50% or less.
