I know I started lurking in late 1998, don't remember when exactly I registered.

But my ID is 73357 and my first port was on 9:52am 13 August 1999.

I personally swear by DenyHosts but there is also Fail2Ban. It is at least a place to start.

Navy Gets 8-Megajoule Rail Gun Working 650

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday January 17, 2007 @02:33PM from the high-flyers dept.

prototypo writes "The Free Lance-Star newspaper is reporting that the Navy Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia has successfully demonstrated an 8-megajoule electromagnetic rail gun. A 32-megajoule version is due to be tested in June. A 64-megajoule version is anticipated to extend the range of naval gunfire (currently about 15 nautical miles for a 5-inch naval gun) to more than 200 nautical miles by 2020. The projectiles are small, but go so fast that have enough kinetic punch to replace a Tomahawk missile at a fraction of the cost. In the final version, they will apex at 95 miles altitude, well into space. These systems were initially part of Reagan's SDI program ("Star Wars"). An interesting tidbit in the article is that the rail gun is only expected to fire ten times or less per day, presumably because of the amount of electricity needed. I guess we now need a warp core to power them."
