Wow.

Some very interesting information found in this link

Thanks to ZDNet for this posting too.

Thoughts you should understand … regardless of whether you believe it or not:

DDoS is a “distributed denial of service” attack – and threaten the Internet as you and I know it.

Another way to effectively DDoS a site is via ‘bots’ – which are infected files that people have unwittingly running on their machines.

The last thing you need to understand is that China has the “Great Firewall.” You should imagine a moat and wall around a castle. Anything that wants to go IN or go out needs to cross the moat and go through a hole in the wall. The mainland government controls that moat & that hole in the wall. And they KNOW what is going in and out. What REQUESTS are going in and going out.

The are capable of pushing a few buttons, and STOPPING the requests from being sent through the Great Firewall.

By the way, many countries have similar firewalls … just with fewer users …

Work your way thru Dancho’s article. It’s extremely well written … and the laundry list of sites that were listed which were used to attack CNN is scary… not to mention the animosity of the translated Chinese text.

Load this to get an idea of how the following – if loaded into a browser by tens of thousands of people can EASILY affect a website.

Nothing like crawling around on your knees and hands for 12 hours in a row.

Nothing until you stop, and your wrists, knees, ankles, and toes ache.

But the molding looks good – and only needs to have the staple wholes filled, and then the FUN of touching up the paint.

Sweet!

Anyway … so one has to resort to finding out how to FIX their own bugs… which is where a good google search comes in.

Parker steps off of his SOAPBOX

So, here’s the solution:

FOUND THE ANSWER … and i added a few steps for those LESS knowledgeable

The following posted from http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm
////

Error opening attachments / Cleaning out the Temporary Outlook Files folder

When opening an attachment directly from within Outlook you could get an
error message saying that it can’t create the file and to that you need check
the permissions on the folder you want to save it in. In most cases the
permissions on the folder isn’t the issue but the fact that the folder is
“full”. When you open an attachment directly from within Outlook it will
first save a copy to a subfolder of the Temporary Internet Files folder.
Cleaning out the folder will solve the issue.

Unfortunately this is easier said than done. The subfolder name Outlook
creates (on installation of Outlook) in the Temporary Internet Files folder
is quite random. It always starts with OLK but is followed by 2 random
numbers or letters. Also by default you cannot simply browse to the folder to
clean it out. Getting to the Temporary Outlook Folder can still be
accomplished in 2 easy steps though.
Step 1: Locate the folder

The folder location is stored in the registry in the following key;
Outlook 97 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Outlook\Security
Outlook 98 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.5\Outlook\Security
Outlook 2000 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Security
Outlook 2002/XP
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security
Outlook 2003
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security
Outlook 2007
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Security
Step 2: Get to the folder

1. Open the OutlookSecureTempFolder registry key from the location
provided in Step 1.
2. Copy the path from the key.
3. Open Explorer
4. Paste the address in the Address Bar and press Enter

//// NOW MORE INSTRUCTIONS FROM ME \\\\
If you don’t know how to get into your registry … then BE CAREFUL. It’ is the BRAIN of your machine… so if you screw up … you’re going to lose more than you wanted.

a) To start the registry editor … Press the WINDOWS key (on the bottom
left of the keyboard) and the R key at the same time.
b) type “regedit” without the quotation marks.
c) find the registry key
d) when you SEE the registry key, DOUBLE click on the key
e) highlight the whole path … it’ll be like C:\…….
f) CTL A to select ALL
g) CTL C to copy
h) close the key
i) close the REGEDIT application
j) press Windows Key + E at the same time
k) in the address bar, press CTL V to paste
L) highlight everything in the directory
M) delete.

IT worked for me.

…..

And a comment from the peanut gallery after my post:

It would be easier to just use the OutlookTools utility listed at the bottom
of the page you cite. That way there’s no messing with the registry.

Brian

To which I replied:

Brian: Good point. To be honest:
a) I thought that the Outlook Tools link was some sort of promotion – pay
$dd.cc amount and use the free tool
b) I’d rather do my own hunting than run someone else’s script against my PC
(especially the registry).

If it works, and saves the hassle of digging thru the registry hive … sweet.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Do whatever you like.
Me, the old fashioned way – as long as you follow the right steps – works and you don’t have to run some random dude’s code on your PC’s brain.

My one and a half cents – in case you haven’t heard, the dollar is mimicing a Banana Republic’s decline in value.

Peace, or piece. Whatever floats your boat, and you have on hand.

Al Qaeda couldn’t have come up with a better way to scare the hell out of people driving down the freeway!

Great practical joke!

They’d even be good with your company name on the truck – just like in this picture – as long as you didn’t cause a wreck!

Well, in case you don’t know … I’ve started working out… by doing Krav Maga.

Krav Maga is what the Israeli Commandos are taught … and it’s a heck of a lot of fun to learn.

So, Wednesdays are awesome … at noon there is a groundwork / grappling class which I’ve really enjoyed the few times I’ve been able to get there.

And now that I’m a yellow belt I can attend the Wednesday night fight class.

As an aside, the yellow belt test was 6 hours of non-stop exercise. They made us exercise so much that we were all running on adrenalin. Then the instructors had 1/2 of us get attacked by other 1/2 of the class. Chokes, kicks, punches, etc. In the 6 hours I lost 7.5 pounds of water weight (yes I weighed myself before and after).

I think I’m going to try to video it … but not sure. Anyway … so it looks like this YouTube video somewhat… with a few differences:

• Our martial arts studio is a lot bigger – there are two rooms with virtually no wall between them, and each room is about 35 feet by 60 feet.

• Wednesday’s fight night had 38 guys all geared up with three instructors.

• Of the rooms, one has carpet (shoes allowed), and the one we used was the padded room – no shoes allowed; hence none of us were wearing shoes

So, what are the pads? Well, there are basically four (4) different types:

He punched me there. Instantly, I gave him a direct right to the face.

End result?

• Me, no problem.
• Him, bloody nose.
• My instructor, Ev, watched the whole thing and had a huge grin on his face during the whole bout. At the end, a pat on the back.

I’m liking kicking more and more … so these are getting used more and more per class

These help protect your shins when you kick … and it’s a lot better to kick some dude in the knees if he’s as face as a snake. Learned that my first 10 minutes of my first class

So

anyway

…

Krav Maga Sparring is awesome! Kicking your opponent’s knee accidentally while trying to kick him in the gut is less cool.

We’ll see what happens next time (tomorrow?) I go to work out … I’ve already bought the tape!

What is wrong with people in this country?

I read this article this evening … here’s a piece (link is above)

In May of 2006 Monsoor saved a teammate’s life by risking his own and lived to tell about it. President Bush described the incident: “With bullets flying all around them, Mike returned fire with one hand, while helping pull the injured man to safety with the other. In a dream about the incident months later, the wounded SEAL envisioned Mike coming to the rescue with wings on his shoulders.”

But Michael Monsoor made the ultimate sacrifice on September 29, 2006 when he saved two teammates’ lives. “Mike and two teammates had taken position on the outcropping of a rooftop when an insurgent grenade bounced off Mike’s chest and landed on the roof. Mike had a clear chance to escape, but he realized that the other two SEALs did not. In that terrible moment, he had two options — to save himself, or to save his friends. For Mike, this was no choice at all. He threw himself onto the grenade, and absorbed the blast with his body,” President Bush said.

“One of the survivors put it this way: “Mikey looked death in the face that day and said, ‘You cannot take my brothers. I will go in their stead,” Bush said.

While I may or may not like:
Georgey Porgey
The War in Iraq
The War in Afghanistan
The fact that George Jr got us into them with no clue as to how hard it was going to be
The fact that Hillary is all knowing in hindsight
The fact that we gave Kuwait back the last time (Seriously)
The fact that we still can’t seem to fight a war (we never would have won WWII if we’d have had cameras of white, Christian, German wives & children being blown to bits on a daily basis while our B52s did what THEY HAD TO DO and bomb the crap out of Hitler’s military industrial complex)

I can’t understand how any granola eating, anti-human, unfeeling fool can make some of the comments that were made below this article.

While we have people in this country throwing babies off of bridges, killing people for sneakers, and paying $3000 an hour for a good time, we have forgotten those that WE ALL have put in harms way. Even Berkeley-ites have … whether they’ve voted or not. It’s the United States of America.

If there is something braver that anyone could done than Michael Mansoor did, I can’t wait to be educated about it.

I couldn’t help but post this comment on that page – and it frankly is well stated IMHO.

The man performed the ultimate sacrifice.

He was not some alcoholic on the streets.

Republican or Democrat.
Atheist, Muslim, Christian.

Drop it.

He did what any country needs – a bunch of well trained, dedicated, young people to follow orders of those in charge at the time.

It’s up to the people of the country to make sure that they like the ORDERS GIVEN.

But don’t take away from HIS sacrifice … as if your kids were next to him, you’d be praying he was serving with them.

Keep it real.
