I did not really understand what your problem is, and it is a bit late for me now, so I have to give up trying to get the point. Just one point that I noticed, though, and may possibly explain unexpected behavior: the $stuff variable is not the same in the two programs:
Or to show it more clearly (I hate the way the Perlmonks site dispays code snippet, why should it cut it at line 70 or 71, making any significant code almost unreadable, at a time where most people don't have any problem displaying 250 or 300 characters on their screen?), I"ll just quote where the difference is:
A space missing. Small difference. No idea if this is the source of your problem, but I thought it might be useful to let you know.

The New York Post
March 21, 2017
I had respect for Preet Bharara, the US Attorney here in Manhattan, until his recent tantrum over being asked to resign by Trump.
This is common practice when a new administration takes the White House. Federal prosecutors all over the country are asked to quit so that a new president can either accept or reject their offers.
That's just the way it is done — through Republican and Democratic administrations.
Only Bharara decided to make a spectacle of it. The guessing is that he wanted the publicity and sympathy for when he decides to run for public office.
Well, when Bharara does, he will have to answer this question, and I think it will spoil his political career: Why, after all the problems that Wall Street caused in 2008, wasn't a single person or firm in the financial community charged with anything?
Wall Street was under Bharara's jurisdiction because he was the US Attorney in Manhattan. He was complicit in protecting Wall Street firms, and that wasn't his job.

The Fulfillment Process—What Happens to Consumers' Orders
To expedite retail and purchase, most businesses include e-commerce in their business models. Industries that involve selling goods can use e-commerce in accepting orders and payments using electronic systems like the Internet and other computer networks. Instead of over-the-counter transactions, consumers can order goods by accomplishing online order forms from the provider's website. This is a more convenient approach that guarantees more revenues for the business than the conventional retail and purchase process.
When an order is made, fulfillment is set to follow. The product provider employs a fulfillment team responsible for preparing and delivering the products to the consumers within a predetermined timeframe. A business can handle fulfillment in two ways—through an in-house fulfillment department or through an outsourced fulfillment service. Fledgling companies often outsource fulfillment services to meet their customers' expectations, while large corporations build their own facility for a more customized operation.
A business that chose to outsource a fulfillment company has to deliver products from its factory to the fulfillment facility for warehousing. This is vital in the product distribution process because it prevents delays when the supply runs out. The fulfillment center will request for supplies when the stock runs low. Both the provider and the fulfillment company monitor the inventory distribution online via e-commerce technologies to manage losses and other forms of risk.
The fulfillment company generates invoices for the orders and fulfillments being made. Invoices are typically in digital form, organized into spreadsheets, and automatically sent to the provider. This updates the provider of the actual sales and not the supply production. The fulfillment company safeguards the products to be delivered through a well-managed fulfillment warehouse. Packaging and shipping may require a separate facility depending on the supplies being handled.
Both the fulfillment company and the product or service provider agree on certain policies, such as return and exchange policies. Because of the changing business climate and intense competition between similar providers, it is difficult to manage the expectations of the consumer. The provider remedies this problem by creating a flexible and consumer-friendly return and exchange policy. However, this is implemented by the fulfillment company that manages the fulfillment warehouse.
In case of return, reimbursement, or exchange, the fulfillment company running fulfillment warehouses decides based on the implementing policy. All modifications appear in the ledgers. However, complaints and other issues concerning the product that customers raise are dealt with by the provider, usually through customer service. The fulfillment company can have its own customer service that deals with issues limited to delivery.

|[en] Two important characteristics of petroleum exploration and production
investment are the high nancial amounts and uncertainties. For these rea-
sons, the risk analysis should be implemented in the projects evaluation and
the selection process. Depending on their available resources, petroleum
companies choose a number of projects on the basis of some criteria: the
net present value, internal rate of return, pro tability index However, these
criteria appear to be insu cient if we consider, on the one hand, the ab-
sence of risk idea which is an essential element of the petroleum industry,
on the other hand the omission of the correlations and interactions between
di erent projects. In this paper, in order to make up for the lacks of the
traditional approach, we apply a variant of Markowitzs method to deter-
mine the e cient portfolio exploration and production projects that insure
the best compromise minimum risk-maximum return under the di erent
constraints faced by the company. A practical application of this method
about selection of petroleum exploration projects in the North Sea is pre-
sented. This practical case illustrates the in
uence of the crude price in the
choice of the portfolio.

Airlines' on-time record inches up
U.S. airlines' on-time record improved slightly in May compared to the previous month and May 2008.
Overall, the 19 biggest carriers reported 80.5 percent of their flights arrived within 15 minutes of the scheduled time, USA Today said Thursday. In April 79.5 percent of flights were on time and the figure was 79 percent in May 2008.The U.S. Department of Transportation releases the Air Travel Consumer Report every month. The report said there were fewer canceled flights in May, less than 1 percent, than in April or May 2008.
Airline performance has been improving consistently in recent months. Some observers said the apparent improvement in on-time performance comes partly from airlines stretching out schedules so pilots have later scheduled arrival times.
Comair, a Delta regional carrier, had the worst on-time record, 65.7 percent. AirTran's rate was 75.6 percent, the worst among major carriers.
Alaska's on-time rate was 85.7 percent, the leader among major airlines.
The most-delayed flight was JetBlue's Flight 348 from Sarasota/Bradenton to Kennedy International Airport in New York, arriving on time only 10 percent of the time.

Summer Weekend in Vail
Okay, so a weekend in Vail isn't technically a "Denver Doodle," but my husband and I did "doodle" our way there in a little over two hours. (Our return trip was about 45 minutes longer due to heavy traffic. If you live in the Denver area, you probably know that traffic on the route can be that way on Sunday afternoons and Friday afternoons. We headed out early Friday afternoon and missed the worst of the traffic.)
If you thought Vail was just a place to go in the winter to ski, I hope to convince you otherwise. There are tons of fun things to do in Vail in the summer. Some are even free! Here are some of the highlights of our short stay:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A huge protest led by the country's best-known civil rights leaders thrust Florida onto center stage Tuesday in the battle over affirmative action.
As Gov. Jeb Bush gave his annual State of the State address inside legislative chambers, more than 10,000 demonstrators marched to the steps of the old Capitol building for a rally to bring attention to Bush's controversial One Florida plan ending racial and gender preferences in university admissions and state contracts.

Tell me about the most jaw dropping OMG moment you've ever witnessed...(640 Posts)
Because everyone's got a story! And here is mine...
I was on a bus recently, quite a full bus. A wheelchair in the wheelchair space, one lady with a pram (unfoldable I think) in the buggy space. Bus pulled up at a bus stop, where two ladies are waiting with pushchairs, chatting to each other.
One lady gets on, parks her pushchair into the remaining buggy space. The second lady tries to get on, but the bus driver won't let her as the buggy space is now full. She asks the lady with the pram to get off the bus so she can travel with her friend. 'Pram lady' looks at her askance, and says sorry, but she needs to get home. Both pushchair ladies then proceed to loudly and verbally abuse the pram lady for being selfish and not getting off the bus, so they can travel together.
Everyone else on the bus was stunned into silence, the bus driver throws both pushchair ladies off the bus and drives off. Pushchair ladies stand at bus stop yelling and shaking fists at the receding bus!
I've never known so many bus passengers strike up conversation all at once, making sure the 'pram lady' was ok, and generally saying 'what a pair!'
I can't believe the cheek of some people! I've had a few moments like this later but am just about to go out so will add some stories later!
Oh my god that would have been so bizarre to watch!
Mine was seeing a two year old (who I know, therefore know her age), pick up and drink the can of red bull infront of her and neither parent batted an eyelid.
A few weeks ago I was taking part in an outdoor exercise class. A woman walked her dog infront of us, her dog did a massive poo while she watched and then they both walked off!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Oh I have so many to choose from!
My house faces onto a common in London, so I regularly get an eyeful.
A particular recent favourite was a white van with three men in that drove onto the common, got gardening tools out of the back, dug up turf squares covering about 15m by 15m, put the turf into the back of their van, and drove off.
Lots of us noticed but it just seemed they must be from the council works department upgrading the turf or something, it didn't occur to any of us that someone would have the brass neck to steal it in the middle of the day. The community police officer was unimpressed with us.
I also saw a couple having sex out there last week at lunchtime. I don't mean subtle fumbling I mean full on sex. They had a picnic blanket draped over them so presumably thought no-one would notice
The pushchair ladies sound unhinged.
An Italian man in a leopard print thong on the beach in Mexico. He bent down to retrieve his volleyball ball and oh, my eyes!
It always happens on the bus.
Someone once abandoned their teacup pig (Not so teacup sized really) on the late bus I was on. It had gone to sleep on the seat. I walked past it at the end of the route when it was just me, the driver and the pig.
Abandoned pigs aren't covered in bus driver training. He didn't even know who brought it on. It was tied to the seat, so clearly someone had but.
Also various kinds of racial and sexual abuse at drunk o'clock.
The first time I bumped into Percy Vere aka Jessie the Clapham Transvestite, wearing a little silver cropped top and mini skirt on his bike my jaw literally dropped. Not since Amelia Bloomer has anyone achieved such notoriety purely through their choice of outfits.
Some years ago when I lived with my parents we had some really torrential rain, the drains couldn't cope and it caused a flash flood. It was like a river flowing down out street and several homes were sadly flooded, the fire brigade even had to rescue some people. Obviously a large crowd gathered to watch all of this, myself and my mum included.
Our street was always being used as a short cut my drivers who wanted to avoid the busy main road, and as we watched many drivers came down the road, saw it was blocked off due to the flood, turned around and went back the way they came. A woman driver then came hurtling down the road, saw the flood, stopped and then reversed backwards right into a parked car making an enormous bang and leaving a dent in it. She then drove off at speed without stopping or attempting to find out who the owner was, despite a crowd of about twenty people seeing her do it.
How the hell she thought she'd get away with it when there was so many witnesses I don't know?
We lived in a smart area of Paris. Sunday afternoon, on the balcony, looking out for DD1's friend who was due to arrive. Lots of people sitting outside at restaurant on the corner, having lunch. Mother walks past with her daughter, who looked to be about four. Child was clearly mithering about something. Mother stood there and waited while child pulled down her pants and did a huge turd on the pavement right outside the restaurant - a matter of a couple of feet away from where people were eating. Child pulled up her pants and they walked on as if nothing had happened. Lovely for the diners, no?
Beth, what happened to the pig?! [agog]
I used to work in a bank next door but one to a chip shop. Family of four walked in, sat at the table in the banking hall, got their fish and chips out and ate them.
No banking-weren't even customers AFAIK.
Someone smeared poo all over the buttons of the ATM one night, and a nappyless child did a poo in the banking hall.
And I though being a bank cler would be a naice job.
*clerk even.
Walking home one morning after a night out and a door in front of us suddenly opened. A guy in nothing but white socks and y fronts was pushed out followed by his clothes. He sheepishly picked them up and ran off down the street clutching them.
My friend and I still howl with laughter about that one. His face was an absolute picture.
This one is years ago (about 25 actually) but I still remember it so clearly and it really was a moment of moth wide open (but for a good reason)
I was at the time working in a supermarket where we did packing for stuff to be delivered later. I had got called to pack as the cashier were putting through the shopping items. For an elderly lady who was a semi regular doing her shopping, in the queue behind her was a mother with a boy of about 5 or 6 and behind them a gentleman in his 50s or so. (to set the scene)
Boy is moving his trolley so it is repeatedly pushing into the lady whose shopping is being dealt with. She moves a bit but boy follows. She then turns and politely asks for him to stop. Get no response. Boy takes it to do even more. Lady turns again asking "please will you get your child to stop doing this it is hurting me and look my tights are completely ruined now " The mother responded " I don't believe in telling my child no this is how he wishes to express himself right now and it is important that he gets to do so so he can let go of what he is feeling"
At this point Cashier, myself and the lady are all " mouth wide open starring in shock at the mother " Child is still rocking trolley back and forth with a smirk on his face.. The man behind the mother and child had been quietly listening to it all. He then took the jar of syrup he had and opened it with his pen knife and poured it over the head of the mother stating simply.
"That was how I felt expressing myself right now"
The woman was livid angry. ranted and raved demanded the manager to be called. Called the man all sorts of names and he simply stood there looking at her as she did this. when the manager arrived he offered to pay for the syrup and any cleaning that needed doing but manager to his credit said no charge at all and asked me to take the woman whose shopping it had been to the back room and find her some new tights on the house plus give her a cup of coffee..
I only know that the woman took quite a long time to get out of the shop declaring she would NEVER shop there again. The guy however did return and every time he did would he make a comment about the syrup ..
Lady was fine after she got new tights and a cuppa a bit shaken and asked if this was normal way to bring up children " now a days" we all assured her it was not..
it was as I said 25 years ago but I still recall it as clear as day. It was one of those moments for me where I said to myself " my kids will NEVER do stuff like that - they never have laughs"
Two spring to mind after reading this thread.
Was walking in town, very busy city centre, on a Saturday afternoon. Passed two people shagging very loudly in a phone booth. You could see everything as the woman had been lifted and was pressed against the glass, skirt around her waist and his legs with trousers pulled down. They should have chosen a middle phone booth, would have been less obvious.
Second one, walking home from school, passed a child in ds1s class squatting on a street corner having a shit. Mum stood there shouting at people "have you never saw anyone shitting before". Child was 6 and left to a different school not long after.
OnlyLovers The pig was temporarily housed overnight at the bus station, then taken to the Cats, Dogs and Chicken's home where it was adopted by a farmer as a pet for her kids.
My last flat was on the high street in a very naice (but with some characters!) town. I lived next door to a pub, opposite a beautiful abbey and there was a phone box next to my flat, and then public toilets just round the corner.
My mum came round and as she was waiting for me to come to the door, a man walked into the phone box, pulled his pants down, squatted and proceeded to take a dump. He then finished, and pretended he was using the phone, as if no one could actually see (and smell) the pile of shit next to him.
Frik I am so . I have never seen even a row on a bus. You were spoilt by that display.
I would have LOVED to have seen that happen Frikadellen!
i once saw a grown woman get out of her car in a traffic jam and POO at the roadside.
What's with all the poo? Just no need.
Pooing in public is pretty shocking to be fair!

2007 Jeep Wrangler SUV - Consumer Review
Build Quality

Reliability Value
Cool Ride Unlimited X 4dr 2wd
By dgreenone on
Vehicle2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 6M)
ReviewI've driven small trucks, 1/2 tons, 1 tons and now a Jeep. I'm going to stick with the Jeep. It's a lot of fun to drive and can really hang the corners without feeling like it's going to roll over. It also pulls my boats just fine and is very stable. I don't feel the Jeep getting pushed around by the trailer like some smaller trucks tend to do. The take off power seemed a bit lacking but turning off the ESP seems to cure that, but this could just all be in my head because I like this ride so much.
Best FeaturesLooks great and rides like a Jeep. If your looking for a super smooth ride, buy a Caddy. Good fuel mileage and towing. The layout of the gizmo's on the dash are easy to work and with the hard top I hear very little road noise.
Worst FeaturesRight now, I really can't think of much to improve on. Being 6' it kinda feels a little tight getting in and out but not too much.

EAGLE PASS, TEXAS — Up to 100 Mexicans fleeing the gunfire of a riot Sunday swamped a border checkpoint already clogged with long lines of vehicles being checked for clues in the kidnapping of a U.S. narcotics agent.
Authorities reported at least four people were wounded in the riot at Piedras Negras, Mexico. Eagle Pass police reported as many as five people were killed and 30 injured in the riot but those reports could not be confirmed.
The riot, blamed on a local political dispute that has been simmering since December elections, broke out about 3 p.m. CST Sunday, just across the Rio Grande from Eagle Pass, said Lou Gonzalez, of the U.S. Border Patrol in Eagle Pass.
Gonzales said the riot, which took place about a quarter of a mile from the border checkpoint, was unrelated to the inspections, which have caused major delays all along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Gonzales said no one waiting to be cleared through the checkpoint was involved.
The riot began as about 300 people who intended to peacefully block the international bridge were fired on by Mexican Judicial Police. The ensuing gunfire left at least three Mexican police officers and one woman wounded.
Eagle Pass police reported demonstrators returned fire.
Some 75 to 100 Mexicans fled the riot by running across the bridge to the border checkpoint where U.S. Customs officials were searching for clues to the kidnapping of the narcotics agent, said Gonzales.
The border searches began Friday in an attempt to learn the whereabouts of Enrique Camarena Salazar, a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent kidnapped Feb. 7 in Guadalajara, Mexico.

We started off Easter weekend in true Easter weekend form, meaning a big egg hunt. The local rec center put on a hug egg hunt for kids of all different ages and it was so fun. Really, at these things I always wonder who is more excited, Jayce or us!
We did this last year too, but it was pouring rain so the festivities were moved inside. It was still a great time, they had little egg obstacle courses set up and various games that Jayce loved. But there is nothing like a big group of kids running around plucking brightly colored eggs from soft green grass.
Chris and Justin ran around with Jayce and helped him "find" eggs. It was so funny to watch because Jayce would run over to a patch where there were probably 30 eggs in a 2 foot square area, select 1 or 2, and then move on. But thanks to Chris' helpful directions he was sure to find numerous Reece's Cup Eggs, the orange ones in the picture below. We saw the Easter bunny again this year, and Jayce remembered him from last year when he was handing out little stuffed bunnies to the kids. There were several kids staring cautiously at the Easter bunny and keeping their distance, but Jayce walked right up to him, gave him a high five and then a hug, and told him thanks for the eggs. It was so sweet! I wasn't fast enough with my camera
Chris and Justin helped Jayce sort through his loot. There was a good variety of candy, and stickers, along with about 8 free passes to the pool this summer-an excellent prize! They also had special prizes to be collected if you found any golf balls (since it was beside a driving range), and Jayce had several of those as well.
We were so excited that Justin and Tasha could come visit with us this weekend, especially since it was literally the ONLY time that we had a weekend free in the spring before the baby would arrive. Jayce kept calling them my "my friends Uncle Justin and Aunt Tasha."
Jayce was sure to point out all of his favorite outside activities to Justin, so he got in on bike riding and swinging, among other things. It was a full day.

The American government must work for the American people. That's why I fought for government accountability legislation that will ensure that we learn from what went wrong on Wall Street to protect working Americans from similar events in the future. I also am leading the effort to ensure that candidates are responsible to the American people -- not to Washington lobbyists and special interests. The Fair Elections Now Act, which I introduced with Republican Congressman Walter Jones, will do just that. It provides a grassroots low donor focus and matching election funds to qualifying candidates to ensure that more time is spent working for constituents, and not on fundraising.

DNA from all organisms is made up of the same chemical and physical components. The DNA sequence is the particular side-by-side arrangement of bases along the DNA strand (e.g., ATTCCGGA).

The genome is an organism's complete set of DNA. Genomes vary widely in size: the smallest known genome for a free-living organism (a bacterium) contains about 600,000 DNA base pairs, while human and mouse genomes have some 3 billion. Except for mature red blood cells, all human cells contain a complete genome.
DNA in the human genome is arranged into 24 distinct chromosomes--physically separate molecules that range in length from about 50 million to 250 million base pairs. A few types of major chromosomal abnormalities, including missing or extra copies or gross breaks and rejoinings (translocations), can be detected by microscopic examination. Most changes in DNA, however, are more subtle and require a closer analysis of the DNA molecule to find perhaps single-base differences.

I know for a fact that crop circle makers are very capable of creating intricate designs, look at the Wilton windmill crop circle from a couple of years ago, I did a thread on it, was very clever what they did.
Here's the thread:

If yes, _how_ should I do it? I don't know what exactly you should do, i am not aware of the best practices about this matter, but I guess informing people that you not the one to blame is not a bad idea. You can use the following line in your configuration file: receiver_try_verify = true in order to attempt to verify addresses before accepting mail. In this case all mails for invalid users are rejected and no bounces are sent. Take a look at the vacation package; you can set an autoresponder with it (though I am not sure you can configure it to alter a bounce). Another program you might find useful is mailagent with which you can set filters to catch mails for any unknown user and take appropriate actions. I suggest not enabling the verify command. Hope I helped a bit. ~kmag

How to Save on High Speed Cable Modem Rental Fee from Comcast
- You will need to purchase a high speed modem. There are many options available but make sure that the one you choose is compatible with your required speed and provider's network. I chose Motorola SB6121 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0. Make sure you also have the following information available:
- Your Comcast account number and account phone number (write these down since you cannot access them if you are on online billing and your Internet goes down)
- Other account information such as the last bill date and amount and other personal information
- New modem's serial and MAC ID
- You will need to contact your service provider to update your billing and modem information. I used the Internet technical support online chat option with Comcast and I am guessing it would be similar on the phone. Here are the detailed steps of the chat:
- I was asked to provide 3 pieces of personal information.
- The person asked for the modem information and had a problem with changing my modem. So I was transferred to the billing department. The transfers are smooth and one person leaves the online chat room and another person comes in.
- The other person asked for 3 pieces of information as well and updated my modem from renting to own.
- I was transferred back to Internet technical support and my modem information was updated.
- I was told that they were having a problem with the provisioning department and I had to wait a few minutes. Eventually, my connection went down. I figured that the old modem was removed from the system.
- I connected the new modem and tried to access the network. Here was my problem:
- New modem kept receiving RESET packets as soon as it would connect to the Internet. I tried to unplug/plug it multiple times but didn't work.
- After around 30 minutes, I connected the old modem in parallel to my new modem and attached it to my PC to connect to the web.
- I was transferred to an activate modem page from Comcast (after opening the browser). I had to verify my account number and phone number and then I was taken to the next page.
- I started a technical support chat from the new page and asked the person to select the Motorola as my main modem. The Motorolla modem got a RESET packet and when it came back on it was connected to the Internet with no problems.
- I just unplugged the old modem and sent it back to Comcast.
- Note that you cannot have two modems connected to the system.
- I was renting a Ubee DOCSIS 3.0 modem. By upgrading to Motorola, my ping rate dropped by 30% (10 to 7 ms) and Internet upload/download speed went up by around 10-15%.
How to detect/block SkypeOut Phone calls
In this post we want to consider various ways in which we can detect SkypeOut phone calls from normal E2E calls. As mentioned before, SkypeOut calls use a gateway to connect the Skype client to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). There are multiple ways in which SkypeOut calls differ from E2E calls.
- One of the main features which we can use is the gateway port number (12340) for UDP SkypeOut calls since all of the gateways have been using the same port number in our experiments. Well, what if some poor user is makign E2E calls using the same port value. In that case, we will be making a wrong assumption.
- The second way to do this is to gather all the gateways for SkypeOut and mark all the calls to those servers as SkypeOut. This is neither easy nor it is cheap and requires an application constantly updating the list of gateways. The other amazing thing is that by blocking the gateways, it seems that Skype cannot relay SkypeOut calls through the super node but it can still make E2E calls when the other side is not blocked. To confirm this, I ran an experiment in which I blocked all the connections except the connection to the super node and another Skype user using Ubuntu's firewall and then tried to make E2E and SkypeOut calls. In this case, the E2E calls went through but the SkypeOut calls failed.
- The third way suggested by [1] is to check if the SoM is deterministic or not. I did not verify this technique but from the results in the paper, this seems to be the easiest and the most promising solution.
[1] D. Bonfiglio, M. Mellia, M. Meo, D. Rossi, and P. Tofanelli, "Revealing skype traffic: when randomness plays with you," ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, vol. 37, 2007, p. 48.
Real-time Packet Type Detection Using Port Scanning
Packet type detection is a crucial part of any traffic shaping technique. Traffic shaping is an essential part of the network traffic which allows time-sensitive packets meet their performance goals. Determining packet types is quite straightforward when the contents are not encrypted and the applications follow a certain pattern generating data packets. But things get much harder when we have to deal with an application which communicates in an encrypted manner and tries to hide from being detected by generating random pattern of packets (For example, Skype and Bit torrent clients are trying hard to avoid detection, because many service providers may benefit compromising their traffic).
There are many approaches to detect traffic such as Statistical Classification methods or Regular Expression pattern matching but these techniques can be fooled when newer version of the software reaches market and the traffic changes. These techniques also need time and human interference and may not necessarily work well with the newer versions of the software.
Therefore, we decided to introduce a new technique to detect packets in real-time. This technique uses the port scanning technique to communicate with the sender and the receiver of the packet flow and detect their services by trying to match a signature to their response. If the services are known then the types of the packet can be detected much easier. We tested our approach to detect HTTP, FTP and Skype packets as a course project and the results were very promising.
We created an application similar to nmap in Python which sends some packets to the sender and the receiver of each packet and tries to match their response to one of the signatures we created for the applications mentioned above and based on the matching we were able to output the packet type. Note that there are many nmap scripts available which can be used to detect many more types of service running on the servers.
The main advantages of this approach:
- If the software remains backward compatible, our application will still be able to detect the packet type without the need for an update.
- This approach works in both cases when the host's connection is symmetric or asymmetric because at least one side of the connection should be active and respond to our request.
- This technique will work when the source or destination are behind a port-restricted NAT because the port is already forwarded properly.
The disadvantages are as below:
- The packets generated by our application adds to the network traffic and repeating the task for each flow on the network can be costly.
- If the software refuses to communicate with our application or the response does not match our signature then this approach will be useless.
- If the new version of the software is not backward compatible then the new signature will require human interference and automating this task is almost impossible.
I worked on this project with Mike Conley and he described the steps we had to follow to generate the signature for Skype here on his blog.
Skype 101 – Skype Architecture
Skype is one of the largest VoIP providers with over 500 million users. Skype was created by the developers of KaZaa and unlike many of its competition; it operates on a P2P overlay network (It is not using the IETF Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)). Because of its popularity and proprietary design, there has been a surge in the research community and the industry to understand its architecture and network traffic.
From these research, we know that Skype uses wide-band codec (iLBC, iSAC and iPCM developed by GlobalIPSound) which allows it to maintain reasonable call quality at an available bandwidth of 32 kb/s (The Skype claimed bandwidth usage of 3-16 kilobytes/s) and the minimum and maximum audible frequency Skype codec allowed to pass-through are 50 Hz and 8,000 Hz respectively. Note that Codecs are automatically selected. However, as described in [1], it is possible to force Codec selection enclosing the list of disabled Codecs between the tag
In addition, Skype uses TCP for call signalling, and both UDP and TCP for transporting media traffic. Moreover, Skype uses 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption and 1024 bit RSA to negotiate symmetric AES keys. User public keys are certified by the Skype server at login using 1536 or 2048-bit RSA certificates.
In this article, I describe the key features of this software.
There are common terms which are used in the Skype literature and I would like to define them before we start:
Skype Client (SC): Skype application which can be used to place calls, send messages and etc. The Skype network is an overlay network and thus each SC needs to build and refresh a table of reachable nodes. In Skype, this table is called host cache (HC) and it contains IP address and port number of super nodes. This host cache is stored in an XML file called "shared.xml". Also, NAT and firewall information is stored in "shared.xml". If this file is not present, SC tries to establish a TCP connection with each of the seven Skype maintained default SNs IP address on port 33033.
Super Node (SN): Super nodes are the end points where Skype clients connect to. Any node with a public IP address having sufficient CPU, memory, and network bandwidth is a candidate to become a super node and a Skype client cannot prevent itself from becoming a super node. Also, if a SC cannot establish a TCP connection with a SN then it will report a login failure.
Skype Authentication Server: This is the only centralized Skype server which is used to authenticate Skype users. An authenticated user is then announced to other peers and buddies. If the user saves his/her credentials, authentication will not be necessary. This server (IP address: 184.108.40.206 [Buddy list] or 126.96.36.199) also stores the buddy list for each user. Note that the buddy list is also stored locally in an unencrypted file called "config.xml". In addition, if two SCs have the same buddy, their corresponding config.xml files have a different four-byte number for the same buddy. Finally, it has been shown that Skype routes login messages through SNs if the authentication server is blocked. [Refer to [3] for more details]
Start of Message (SoM) Structure: Skype uses the same port to communicate with the outside world. Therefore, it needs an unencrypted structure in the beginning of each UDP packet to analyze the sequence and the flows at the application layer. This structure is called SoM.
Now let's analyze the services offered by Skype and its network traffic.
Types of Skype Connections
Skype to Skype (End to End) (E2E)
Call signalling and media transfer
- If both caller and receiver are on public IPs and receiver is in the buddy list of the caller, then they establish a call through a direct TCP connection with each other and transfer media using UDP.
- If the caller or receiver is behind a port-restricted NAT then they establish a call through a few packets initially transferred between caller, receiver , SN and other hosts [Refer to [3] for more details] and a UDP connection is established between the caller and receiver which is used to transfer media as well.
- If caller and receiver are behind a UDP-restricted firewall they will need a relay (node) in between to establish TCP connection to and then the traffic (including media) will go through from one side to the other.
For users that are not present in the buddy list, call placement is equal to user search plus call signalling.
The media structure for E2E is as follows:
- SoM
- First 16 bits are the message identifier which is chosen similar to TCP (random and confirmed by the receiver).
- Function byte (3 random bits + 5 bits) which defines the payload. The random bits can be removed by applying ox8F bit mask.
- Skype login phase or connection management
- 0x02: Skype UDP Ping is carried out periodically by all the SCs which consist of two keep-alive messages.
- 0x03
- 0x07
- 0x0f
- 0x0d indicates a DATA message.
- Frame ( Encrypted )
Skype to PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) (SkypeOut)
For Skype out, the application initially contacts the SN and then the PSTN gateway at port 12340. The gateway servers are a separate part of the architecture and not a part of the overlay network. In addition, host servers 188.8.131.52 and 18.104.22.168 are only connected when a user tries to call another user in the PSTN network; therefore, we assume these servers to be Skype-to-PSTN gateways (SkypeOut) [4]. Also, in [1], it is described that G.729 Codec is the preferred codec for E2O (Skypeout) calls.
- SoM
- The first 4 bytes seems to be a unique Connection IDentifier (CID).
- Frame ( Encrypted )
PSTN to Skype (SkypeIn)
Skype Network Traffic
Skype UDP Ping
Skype UDP Ping is carried out periodically by all the SCs which consist of two keep-alive messages.
Skype UDP Probe
Message exchange is used when the Skype is launched and it is used to discover available SNs and network characteristics such as NAT and firewalls. [Refer to [2] [3] for more details]
Skype TCP Handshake
After finding an available SN, SC opens a new port and creates a TCP connection to the SN (On the same port number as the Probe was sent). If an arbitrary port will not be able to go through the NAT or firewall, then SC will use port 80 (Proprietary HTTP protocol handshake) or port 443 (Transport Layer Security [TLS] HTTPS protocol handshake) to connect to the SN. [Refer to [2] for more details]
Skype TCP Authentication
After setting up the connection, a SC connects to the Authentication Server to authenticate itself. [Refer to [2] for more details]
Skype HTTP Communication
On the first execution, it sends an HTTP request to skype.com with the keyword "installed" in it. Also, this is used to retrieve software updates with keyword "getlatestversion". [Refer to [2] [3] for more details]
Skype User Search
Skype uses its Global Index (GI) technology to search for a user. Skype claims that search is distributed and is guaranteed to find a user if it exists and has logged in during the last 72 hours. Due to the fact that the search messages between the SC and SNs are encrypted and the protocol is not open, it is not possible to make any conclusion about the search techniques used by Skype. But from the response time for each search, we can conclude that there is some sort of user information caching in SNs.
Skype Silence Suppression and Call Hold
Skype does not any sort of Silence Suppression and continues sending silent packets and keep-alive messages during a call hold. Note that this will maintain the UDP binding at NAT, provide some background noise during silence and avoid the drop in TCP congestion window size (when a TCP connection was made between caller and receiver).
Skype Conference Calling
During a conference call, the most powerful machine always gets elected as a conference host and the other two clients send their data to that host as depicted in the diagram.

Finishing. Ugh.
Why is finishing such a pain in the ass? Seaming Agnes took me several evenings, and even then I just could not get the sleeves to fit in perfectly. And I found one errant stitch at the end of a row that I'd forgotten. It was just there, live, hanging out. Oops! I just fudged it and sewed it into the seam. I'm guessing no one will notice that one of my fronts is one stitch off. But I'm wondering how this happened... Huh.
Then I spent an evening figuring out how to work a french knot, only to decide that they are too bulky. I'm doing just a plain knot now. After working about 10 of them, I'm already bored... Only ~100 to go...
Oh, and the collar? Also boring and tedious... I anticipate that sewing buttons will be just as exciting.
What? Who said I had an obligation to be nice all the time?!
All right, fine, how's this?
To console myself, I bought the coolest necklace on Etsy:
The vendor's name is KirinCo (a k a Lara Cameron), and the necklace is Blue Dot necklace - red wire. Although I bought jewelry, I actually drooled over her hand screened fabrics for quite a while. I hesitated, and now most of them are gone!
Oh, and I loooove all the hand carved wood earrings by Orno (a k a Carla Smiley).
Somehow, Etsy has gotten so big that it's frustrating. I mean, I can surf for an hour and it's hit and miss. What are you favorite vendors?

Apparently unclear whether ethics laws allow outside individuals to bankroll events and scholarships sponsored by the Metro Council's Minority Caucus, the caucus has found a different route to financially support its causes: a new political action committee.
At-large Councilman Jerry Maynard, president of the 10-member minority caucus, told The City Paper the caucus filed a treasurer's report Tuesday with the Davidson County Election Commission to start a minority caucus PAC.
Councilman Frank Harrison is the PAC's treasurer.
"We wanted to make sure that we were fully within the line of ethics," Maynard said. "There was a question whether outsiders could contribute to an event honoring the caucus and whether third-party people could financially support providing scholarship dollars to be awarded by the caucus.
"That answer was blurry," he said. "So we took the proactive step to make sure we're in line with ethics by creating this political action committee."
Council attorney Jon Cooper said that, "to the best of my knowledge," this marks the first time council members have formed their own PAC.
Maynard said the new PAC would allow the caucus to "raise money to accomplish our mission of advocating on behalf of equality, fairness and inclusion." Formerly known as the council's black caucus, members recently voted to expand — and change its name — to include all minorities.
The minority caucus voted Monday night to form the PAC.
Maynard said funds raised through the PAC would pay for caucus-sponsored scholarships for students, underwrite an annual caucus celebration and benefit future events to honor past caucus council members.
According to Maynard, PAC contributors could be persons from outside the council or caucus members themselves.

The Fog of War, the movie that finally won Errol Morris the best documentary Oscar, is a spellbinder. Morris interviews Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and finds a uniquely unsettling viewpoint on much of 20th-century American history. Employing a ton of archival material, including LBJ's fascinating taped conversations from the Oval Office, Morris probes the reasons behind the U.S. commitment to the Vietnam War--and finds a depressingly inconsistent policy. McNamara himself emerges as--well, not exactly apologetic, but clearly haunted by the what-ifs of Vietnam. He also mulls the bombing of Japan in World War II and the Cuban Missile Crisis, raising more questions than he answers. The Fog of War has the usual inexorable Morris momentum, aided by an uneasy Philip Glass score. This movie provides a glimpse inside government. It also encourages skepticism about same. --Robert Horton

Robert McNamara:
Any military commander who is honest with himself, or with those he is speaking to, will admit that he has made mistakes in the application of military power. He's killed people - unnecessarily. His own troops or other troops. Through mistakes, through errors of judgement. A hundred, or a thousand, or ten thousand, maybe even a hundred thousand. But he hasn't destroyed nations.
Robert McNamara:
And the conventional wisdom is: don't make the same mistake twice. Learn from your mistakes. And we all do. Maybe we make the mistake three times, but hopefully not four or five.
Robert McNamara:
They'll be no learning period with nuclear weapons. Make one mistake and you're going to destroy nations.
Robert McNamara:
I was on the island of Guam in his
Robert McNamara:
command in March 1945. In that single night, we burned to death one hundred thousand Japanese civilians in Tokyo. Men, women and children.
Were you aware this was going to happen?
Robert McNamara:
Well, I was part of a mechanism that, in a sense, recommended it.
Robert McNamara:
LeMay said, "If we lost the war, we'd all have been prosecuted as war criminals". And I think he's right.
Robert McNamara:
He, and I'd say I, were behaving as war criminals.
Robert McNamara:
LeMay recognised that what he was doing would be thought immoral if his side had lost. But what makes it immoral if you lose, and not immoral if you win?

I got a bit fired up reading Laurie Penny's Life-Hacks of the Poor and Aimless. Part way through I found myself writing this short piece. By the time I got to the end of the article I could see that the author might not disagree with me, yet it seemed worth blogging about. That feels like something worth acting on at the moment, considering this is my first tathra.me blog this year and I have a lot of unpublished work that has been victim to my doona dive.
From my own personal experience in collaboration change agents, I certainly prefer working with people who have a decent relationship with themselves than those whose activism is sourced in misanthropy as a thin veil for their own self-loathing.
Taking responsibility for our personal wellbeing is the first step, not the only step, toward planetary wellbeing. It can be confronting and our society certainly doesn't have a lot in the way of role models for taking personal responsibility, much less collective responsibility. And, conversely, of course it's easier to stay focused on ourselves than trying to make a difference in a world where being able to affect global issues like poverty and climate change seem futile.

The 2001 South Carolina General Assembly officially adjourned Thursday, which means, ironically, lawmakers are now finally going to get down to business.
The governor will call them back in extended session in a few weeks to work on, among other things, completing the $5.4 billion budget, resolving grocery tax policy, approving a spending plan, deciding how lottery proceeds will be spent and, of course, redistricting.
So what did legislators accomplish during the regular session? Well, on the eve of Thursday's adjournment they did pass a lottery bill and mandate car seats for infants. They also debated when to return to Columbia to complete the people's work.
Senate Finance Chairman Hugh Leatherman, R-Florence, said lawmakers just "ran out of time" to finish up their other work, particularly on the budget. Ran out of time? What have they been doing the past six months? Will Palmetto State taxpayers ever insist their elected representatives make more efficient use of their time? Legislative sessions, after all, aren't cheap.
Even the lottery bill almost went unapproved, but at the last minute Gov. Jim Hodges, who had been promising to veto any measure that didn't let him name five of the nine lottery commission officials, gave in and went with the GOP plan that calls for three appointments each by the governor and the two House and Senate leaders.
Apparently the governor got assurances that the Republican-controlled Legislature wouldn't put on the panel members who would try to undermine the lottery. Hodges also got some key restrictions lifted that the anti-lottery House had put in.
Lottery ads on radio, TV, billboards, newspapers, magazines and Web sites will be allowed, as will ticket sales on Sundays and in bars and restaurants. Instant scratch-off tickets and games have a green light, but legislative approval will still be needed before South Carolina can join a multistate lottery such as Powerball.
The lottery is scheduled to be up and running by November and dispensing the proceeds should start soon after the first of the year. The spending plan for those revenues will be decided in the extended session.
Of all the issues still left for House and Senate conferees to resolve, the most contentious will be the sales tax break on groceries. The House wants to lower it from 4 percent to 3 percent. The Senate wants to go in the opposite direction - boosting the grocery tax back up to 5 percent.
The Senate may be right in terms of needing $154 million in revenues - the budget is facing a shortfall - but in terms of fairness the House is correct in wanting to stick to the phase-out schedule.
Grocery taxes - because food is a staple of life - are unfair to everyone, especially poor and low-income people. Lawmakers should look elsewhere than the supermarket to balance the budget.

US regulator approves Boeing 787 flight over ocean
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given Boeing Co the go-ahead to for its B787 to fly far over the ocean, up to 5 1/2 hours away from the nearest emergency landing site, the Associated Press has reported. The move comes while another branch of the government, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), is still investigating the cause of a January 2013 battery fire aboard a B787 parked at the gate in Boston. Last week, the NTSB criticised the FAA's process used to certify the new jet's batteries in 2007 and also recommended that the FAA needs to look outside the aviation industry for technical advice.

It's 2016, and crises seem to be multiplying and converging every day. You don't even keep track of them all anymore. There was a time not too long ago when the warmongering, the next terror attack, the tales of corruption and factional chaos, and the sense that no one is in the driver's seat made you confused and angry. Now it's just all part of life in the current year.
But you're not just giving in and going along. You're here, after all. That makes all the difference.
There is a deeper meaning to the name of Northern Dawn. In the furthest reaches of the north, the sun does not set for months out of the year. This is reflected in myths throughout various cultures of a land where the sun never sets. What dawns from the north is this undying light.
Canada is a dominion of the north and was founded as the home of an ancient light. Against the liberal republic to her south – and the chaotic oligarchy and atomistic individualism it represented – the Loyalist foundations of Canada began to take shape. Canada represented a different vision of what ethos should shape the North American continent. This ethos was forged and embodied in the Crown: order and hierarchy, sovereign authority, freedom under law, and Canada's continuity with her ancestral faith, spirit, and civilization. A stark contrast to the reign of quantity over quality, divisive factionalism, tyrannical chaos, and cultural amnesia which global liberalism has created.
The project of Northern Dawn is simple. If global liberalism – and its errors and crises – are to be overcome, it will only be because an alternative exists which makes itself worthy to succeed it. A man must become worthy of a family and household, and a civilization must become worthy of order and glory – and the only difference is scale. The tradition exists. The wisdom exists. What is needed are people dedicated to receiving and living it. Northern Dawn aims to accomplish this through intellectual work, social connections, aesthetics and discipline.
While Northern Dawn is a Canadian project, it cannot be emphasized enough that Canada does not stand alone. We are part of the North American continent, we are part of the Anglosphere, and we inherit the traditions of Western civilization and Imperial Christendom. In upholding the Royalist faith of Canada, Northern Dawn seeks to pave the way for a Restoration which ends the downward course our civilization has placed itself on, and begins a new cycle upward – perhaps even into the stars.
If your guiding lights for strong political thought include names like George Grant, Roger Scruton, or Mencius Moldbug, contact us. If you have a knack for art or aesthetics and think that hiking or shooting trip might look better with Red Ensigns flying, contact us. If you have expertise to offer on what policies can rebuild strong families and restore communal bonds, contact us. If you have a perspective to bring us on geopolitics, history, migration, or culture, contact us. If you're sick of a Canadian Left which makes us into a social justice-obsessed internationalist hotel and a Canadian Right which makes us into little more than a bazaar in the global market, contact us.
Let's seek a new dawn. Make strong old dreams.

I've spent barely any time with iMovie '08 so far (I'm slammed with projects, and Apple's timing for iLife '08 didn't help any), but it's pretty clear that this iMovie is not the same beast that we're accustomed to. A few very preliminary notes:
- This advice has always been true, but it's even more important now: If you're working on an iMovie project in a previous version, finish the project in that version. iMovie '08 can import iMovie HD projects, but it seems to be just a way to grab the raw video files. You'll lose transitions, etc.
- iMovie '08 does not appear to have any support for third-party plug-ins. This version really is a completely different program that got named "iMovie."
- When you install iLife '08, the previous version of iMovie HD stays on your system instead of being overwritten, as in versions of the past. If you're more interested in production value than quick-and-easy editing, you'll probably prefer to work in iMovie HD.
- Some features you may be accustomed to are no longer present, such as DVD chapter markers and bookmarks. Gone too are themes, one of the major new features in iMovie HD 6.
More as I play around with it.

Last week I discussed nursing and many of the difficulties there in. But what happens when things never get better? Today my friend Amanda shares her struggle, disappointment, and the eventual freedom she found in the bottle.
Simply stated, the journey of deciding how to feed my child culminated in discouragement and frustration. Some could say that breast-feeding and I are like magnets facing the opposite way – as much as we'd like to work together, we seem to be polar opposites.
For me it started in the hospital after my baby was born. We did skin-to-skin and she nursed perfectly. They took her to the nursery to do all of her checkups, and when she came back it was like something switched off and breast-feeding suddenly became a problem. Part of the issue was that she had a difficult time latching on and she struggled with sucking. She would push out with her tongue and push herself right off, beginning to scream at the top of her lungs.
After hours of trying, nurses would come in and attempt to help. Each nurse seemed to have their own thoughts on how I should hold her, whether I should switch sides halfway through or not, and their contradicting suggestions continued on and on. I know that they were just trying to help, but it was difficult to weed out what was "right" and what was "wrong."
Up until this point, I knew nothing about breastfeeding. And I appreciated all the
opinions, but combined with a very tired mom & very hungry baby this equaled chaos. They would literally try to force my screaming baby on me with no success and she would cry and I would then begin to cry along.
After hours of this, I went to the lactation class in the hospital. My heart was exhausted and I began to break down. It's dramatically discouraging to be a mother when you feel like you can't feed your own child.
Before having her, I really wanted and hoped to breastfeed. I wanted to provide for my baby and didn't want to shoulder the cost of formula each month. I was open to bottle feeding, but I really had this desire inside of me to breastfeed. The lactation specialist did her best to help us in the process of training us to breastfeed. She spent about an hour with me and it resulted in using a helpful shield tool to aid my child in latching on. I really didn't mind this tool as long as it meant I could feed her. But, after trying the tool for several hours, I was again discouraged…I still was not producing much milk.
Eventually we ended up using a syringe full of formula to supplement the milk, as
she'd suck on the shield. To train her to suck, we'd push the formula into her mouth
through a little tube to stimulate a rewarding response to her sucking. This taught
her that sucking would get something out and so began my glimmer of hope into the
breastfeeding world.
After two days of trying the shield, and fighting through many hours of feeding, we brought her home and tried this method for a few days without any issues. My poor husband had to get up with me during the night because quite frankly it was a two-person job at this point. Soon we noticed that she was continually hungry, and were instructed by yet another physician that she was not eating enough formula. I noticed that I began to make milk so we stopped supplementing and began to try and feed without any supplementation.
A few days went by without any issues, but on one particular day, she began to
respond differently. She was overly fussy and wanting to eat all the time. After 10 minutes of nursing she would cry and then fall asleep. Her sleep was quickly interrupted by her hunger. I asked a friend and she encouraged me to pump and see how much I was producing. After pumping for 20 minutes, I had only made ¼ of an ounce and I stopped making anything after 8 minutes! This explained it. She would exhaust herself trying to get food. The average newborn should eat 1-2 ounces per feeding depending on frequency. I was only producing .25 of 1 ounce! She was starving!
I was so devastated by this and felt like I had failed as a mother. I truly felt useless. After seeking some advise and praying through this struggle, I decided it would be best to switch over to formula full time.
Many mothers I know have experienced this type of struggle and many have felt just
as I did. I know there are many mothers who have tried to supplement their milk by
taking pills to stimulate production or using different techniques. Although I chose not
to, I feel that I made the right decision. In the end I felt much more encouraged and like I could actually supply my child with what she needed.
At our first two week check up our pediatrician said that she was very healthy
and in fact had gained more weight than average! Despite what some may say, I feel like although my child is not breast-feeding, her development and rapid growth are progressing right along. I am encouraged that I have had the opportunity to see one of the many struggles a mother must experience in their journey as a parent, and look forward to
experiencing many more amazing adventures.

U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether hangman's noose creates racially hostile work environment in violation of Title VII
Friday, 28 October 2016 10:36
An employee was a senior HVAC mechanic at a university in California, when a hangman's noose was placed in a maintenance warehouse. The employee was an African-American man and his supervisor was not. When he and another African-American coworker discovered the noose, the employee felt intimidated, harassed, and threatened. The employee said the university acknowledged that the operational noose was hung by his supervisor, whom he already knew to harbor discrimination against African-Americans. The employee claimed that the action created a racially hostile work environment in violation of Title VII.
The federal district court disagreed. Although the Court acknowledged that a single, harassing incident may be enough to be "extremely severe" if it included violence or the threat of violence, in this situation, the court found the noose could not serve as a threat of violence because it was not hung in the employee's personal work area (such as a locker) and lacked a note or picture or other indication that this employee was the specific target of the display.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the federal district court and affirmed the district court's decision to rule in the employer's favor without holding a trial on the matter. The Ninth Circuit found the employee failed to make a prima facie case of a racially hostile work environment in violation of Title VII. The courts agreed that the noose was not targeted clearly enough at the employee to be one of those single acts of harassment that are threatening enough to create a hostile work environment.
In affirming the federal district court's ruling, the Ninth Circuit concluded that, as a matter of law, there was nothing inherently racial about the operational hangman's noose that the employee encountered in his employer's warehouse. This holding of the Ninth Circuit was in contrast with holdings of the Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh and District of Columbia Circuit Courts of Appeal, which involved situations with a hangman's noose in which the symbol of racial violence was directed to a specific individual in the workplace.
In petitioning the United States Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit's ruling, the employee argued that the fact that the perpetrator did not adorn the noose "with exceptionally obvious indicia of his animus, or place it in an equally obvious location," should not alone determine "severity." To hold otherwise, would give incentive and leeway to those who harbor violent racist tendencies "to promulgate racial terror in the workplace so long as the violent objects appear non-specific or generalized." The employee stated that "a hangman's noose is perhaps the most severe non-verbal form of race harassment possible."
