New Userpic | Gratuitous Icon Post: supersat_tech
http://supersat-tech.livejournal.com/3963.html
New Userpic Gratuitous Icon Post. I think my new userpic is rather self-explanatory. For those of you living in a cave or outside the US, the DMCA is a federal law that makes circumventing copy protection schemes, and devices that do so, illegal, among other things. Of course, the law tramples fair-use rights and has been greatly abused. Since the ZIP standard allows junk at the beginning, and the PNG standard allows junk at the end, it's possible to create a file that's both a ZIP and PNG file.

WARNING: Disabling Windows's autorun feature may land you in court. This is the one of the most rediculous abuses of the DMCA I've ever heard of: http:/ www.theregister.co.uk/conten. I would comment on the copy protection system described in the article linked but I'd rather not be sued. I'm sure you can draw your own conclusions. Post a new comment.

The following code was added to Linux's wait4(). If ( options = ( WCLONE WALL) & (current- uid = 0). Retval = -EINVAL;. A casual glance at this code makes it look like a harmless error check designed to make the system more robust, but it's not. At The Register has more info. Post a new comment.

Messing with glibc is a bad, bad idea. To make a long story short, I tried copying the binaries (and the libraries it depends on) for Apache2 PHP from my gentoo machine to a server at nEXGeN. I then got this error:. Usr/sbin/apache2: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC 2.2' not found (required by /usr/sbin/apache2). Usr/sbin/apache2: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC 2.3' not found (required by /usr/sbin/apache2). Root@mask apache2 # scp /lib/libc.so.6 root@degdeg.com:/lib. I attempt to restore the symlink:.

2GB mail quota: supersat_tech

It amuses me how many email providers are trying to up their email quotas to 2GB and failing:. Http:/ www.theregister.co.uk/2004/0. Http:/ www.theregister.co.uk/2004/0. Story broke, I thought it was an amusing fluke, but when I came across the fact that the same thing happened to BT, I immediately realized why this was happening. Anyone care to venture a guess?

Credit/Debit Card Security and Why It BLOWS: supersat_tech
http://supersat-tech.livejournal.com/2191.html
Credit/Debit Card Security and Why It BLOWS. Today, one of my friends lost her debit card. Presumably, it was stolen, since it wasn't where she left it. This is causing a lot of grief for her, because she has to cancel it immediately, wait for a new one, etc. It didn't have to be that way, though. A somewhat similar system. The only reason I can think of as to why a more secure system isn't implemented is that it would cost more. I'd think that the savings in fraud would make it worth it, though.

Today I created an image (which I will link to later) of Visio being on crack (i.e. not displaying text or icons on its menus), and mentioned the URL only three times on IRC. A few hours later, I was looking through my web server logs, and somehow Google had discovered the file! Post a new comment. We will log you in after post. We will log you in after post.

As a follow-up to my previous post. On credit card account numbers, I decided to document what the funny-looking numbers at the bottom of your checks represent, including how to calculate the check digits. The routing number, contained between the two routing/transit start/stop symbols (. Is made up of the following components:. Federal Reserve Routing Symbol. American Bankers Association Institution ID. The Federal Reserve Routing Symbol. The ABA Institution ID. A full list of the ABA prefixes:. The sec...

Server-side mail filtering: supersat_tech
http://supersat-tech.livejournal.com/6120.html
Does anyone know of a simple way to filter emails with a certain header (like, "X-Spam-Status: Yes") into a specific maildir using a .qmail file? I seem to remember coming across a line that would do this, but after an hour or so of Googling, I can't find it. I'm sure that if it's possible, it's really simple and obvious, but my brain is officially dead tonight. I could do it with a perl script, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if I don't have to.
