Iran Claims New Cyberattacks On Industrial Sites 75
from the christmas-gift-from-the-nsa dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Commerce, industry, governments, and militaries need to get *real* serious about computer security. If intelligence operatives can make attacks on critical infrastructure now, script kiddies will be able to do it before too many years. People will be shutting down critical industry just for the lulz.
IF I HAD A MINE SHAFT, I don't think I would just abandon it. There's got to be a better way. -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Fixed
Component/s: moodle.org
This condition existed for a couple weeks (
MDLSITE-1834) and then was fixed. Is now recurring though I got my 10/16 digest on 10/20. Nothing since.
Gliffy Diagrams
Issue Links
- has a non-specific relationship to
MDL-23687 Forum Cron runs out of memory
- Development in progress
- is duplicated by
MDLSITE-1975 Not reciving daily messages from moodle.org since moving to https
- Closed
Bob, thanks for your report.
Dan, as moodle.org forums notification expert, I've added you as a watcher hoping you have some ideas.
Additional info, was suggested I try just headers rather than entire messages in the digest. This did not change the situation.
Had a look in the logs and it seems to be failing mid-cron again at some points
I got headers last night so switching to the useful full posts to see if I can get those.
And so I didn't get the digest this morning with full subjects.
Hi Matt,
Can you look into this (I am too busy with integration until 2.4 release).
It looks like the moodle cronjob is terminating early from the logs. Could be running out of memory, that was the theory last time.
Cron was terminating early due to what looks like lack of memory. The script has been increased in allowance and appears to have at least parsed over email properly. Could somebody confirm they got today's digest?
I received my Moodle digest today. Thanks.
Set Cron to use more memory for the email handling (256MB -> 1024MB). This appears sufficient although other parts of the cron seemed to time out.
Helen, if you could keep and eye on the digests and make sure they're going through for the new few days? Please close the issue if so or otherwise let me know and I'll dig a little deeper.
I did not get a digest today.
Robert, thanks for your feedback. Reopening as it seems the problem remains unresolved. (See also
Got a digest today but wondering if that's only because traffic over the weekend is lighter.
Traffic has little to do with it, it's more the amount of memory PHP takes up generating the lists of stuff. I find it hard to believe it's more than 1GB though. Further investigation has shown memory is generally fine for this. Dan, can I ask the devs to take a look because this has to be a code issue. I understand if you're busy with integration for 2.4, feel free to pass this on to someone else if need be, I'll give full access to the required logs and servers as needed.
Traffic is totally related to it, Matt. More traffic on forums == more posts == more data to email == more ram taken up in cron.
I set my moodle.org profile email digest type to 'complete' in order to test this issue and have just received one digest mail today containing one forum post from Friday 2 Nov.
Got another digest today. Thanks.
I did not get a digest today so being now into the week I'd guess its still a memory issue because of the increased volume.
Bit more info, eliminated the Quiz forum (lots of volume) from my digest and got one for Friday (busy day).
Alas... nothing Sat, Sun or today.
Got one today, first in a bit over a week
got one HUGE one today dating back to 11/20
Hmm, that is curious Robert. We upgraded to 2.4 today on moodle.org. Though I don't believe there should be changes relating to forum specifically.
Got another one today. Haven't had two in a row for quite a while. Maybe 2.4 mysteriously fixed it. Thanks.
I'm getting consistent. Feel like this could be closed. Thank you for 2.4.
Thanks, will close this.
(Though i'd would have liked to have found out what the problem was )

That was how Margaretville softball coach Kyle Holden summed up his team's 21-3 loss to the Rockets on Monday. Holden's team piled up 14 defensive errors providing a huge boost to the Rockets' offensive game.
Monday's warm spring weather seemed to heat up the Margaretville bats as the Blue Devils rapped out 12 hits to down Roxbury, 13-7, in non-league play. The first five batters in the Blue Devils' batting order had a pair of hits with Matt VanValkenburg and Cooper Reither both scoring three times.

It's a season of transition in Roxbury with a lot of new faces, and veteran softball coach Jane Ware is still figuring out what she does and does not have. One thing Ware has learned is that her girls can hit the softball. Roxbury banged out double digit batting outputs, 23 hits in all, several of the extra base variety, as her Rockets edged Stamford last Wednesday, 16-13, before falling to Gilboa, 14-7 on Thursday.
CLOSE CALL: Cora Bruno of MCS (on the ground) and Jefferson's third baseman Brittany Brovetto look to see the umpire's call after Bruno slid into third on a close play during action week. MCS won the contest, 16-13.
It was a see-saw contest, an up and down affair, and when it was over the Margaretville girls softball team was on top, 20-17, and first-year head coach Kyle Holden had his first victory.
Margaretville — The tournament season ended at Margaretville Bowl this past week with the conclusion of the three majors: Catskill Mountain Bowling Association Tournament, including Walton Lanes; the Pro-Am Tournament featuring the junior bowlers, and the 700 Club Tournament for those bowlers scoring 700 or higher in Margaretville league play.

What started as an old-fashioned pitching duel turned into a 9-1 Margaretville non-league victory when the Blue Devils massed eight runs in the sixth inning last Tuesday in South Kortright. Devin Amundsen's two-RBI double and Cooper Reither's two-RBI single helped open the floodgates in Margaretville's big inning.

For Margaretville pitching ace Kyle Short, the three most important pitches he throws are all fastballs: strike one, strike two, and strike three. Short turned in a brilliant pitching performance Monday night, striking out 16 Eagles to lead Margaretville past Downsville, 3-2, in the Delaware League opener for both teams.

DEFINITION of 'Percentage Of Completion Method'
An accounting method in which the revenues and expenses of long-term contracts are recognized yearly as a percentage of the work completed during that year. This is the opposite of the completed contract method, which allows taxpayers to defer the reporting of any income and expenses until a long-term project is completed. The percentage of completion method of accounting is commonly used in construction projects.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Percentage Of Completion Method'
The percentage of completion method of accounting requires the reporting of revenues and expenses on a yearly basis, as determined by the percentage of the contract that has been fulfilled. The current income and expenses are compared with the total estimated costs to determine the tax liability for the year. For example, a project that is 30% complete in year one and 45% complete in year two would only have the incremental 15% of revenue recognized in the second year.

Question about coping in pool remodel
As part of a pool remodel--resurfacing and new waterline tile--how would coping be installed? Currently, the pool just has a concrete deck and the concrete goes right to the pool edge and rolls over. Would they have to rip up the concrete around the pool, or does the coping get laid on top of this?
Thank you.
Thank you! It was probably an obvious and silly question, but I appreciate you answering. It helps me to gauge a little better the scope (and cost) of the work we're thinking of doing.
Since I'm also re-tiling (or maybe going with pavers) the covered patio area between the house and the concrete pool deck, I'm wondering if we're making a mistake by not also paving (and adding coping) to the pool deck. Since the deck has a screened lanai (can't really live without it in central Florida), it seems like it would involve a lot of different people and jobs and add significantly to the cost, but maybe this is the time to get it all done, since I'm already doing pool surface and patio?
Thanks again!

Cannes 2012: Stephen King's 'The Reach' to Be Made Into Movie
LONDON -- A movie based on the story author Stephen King says he would "most like to be remembered for after his death" will make its market debut in the Marche du Film in Cannes.
British sales, production and finance banner Park Entertainment is bringing King's The Reach to market for the first time. It will be produced by Grayson Ross and Jodi Hansell for DownEast Village Productions.
Budgeted in the $12 million-$14 million range, the story's title refers to the 1.5-mile stretch of water between Goat Island and the Maine coastline. The book details the story of a 95-year-old woman who embarks on a troubled journey from the island to the mainland after the Reach freezes over for the first time in 50 years.
The project is out to directors and talent agents and is tipped to pick up heat at the market in Cannes.
Park Entertainment also is giving airline drama Fly Me its debut market flight.
Based on a book by the late airline pioneer Freddie Laker's friend, U.S. attorney Bob Beckman, the movie charts the conspiracy among the airlines that brought Laker's empire crashing to the ground and the resulting grand jury trial.
The trial was only halted by the direct intervention of then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Buyers will be told the budget is hovering around the $20 million mark and the movie will be directed by Jonathan Lynn and produced by Simon Barnes for Park Entertainment and Kevin Townsend for Science and Fiction Films.

Steelers making right moves with free-agents
Steelers making right moves with free-agents
February 28, 11:48 PM
by Matt Pawlikowski, Pittsburgh Sports Examiner
PITTSBURGH - Those out there questioning the Steelers moves thus far in free-agency, have to remember one thing.
It's the Steelers way, and over the years it has worked.
In this the year of change, the Steelers have made very little. They have watched ridiculous contracts such as Albert Haynesworth and Nnamdi Asomugha get signed.They have watched as their marquee free agents, such as Nate Washington and Bryant McFadden have been shopping their talents elsewhere.
But unlike other teams, they have not delved in free-agency and tried to woo an upper echelon free-agent to the Steel City. As a matter of fact the biggest name they have acquired since Kevin Colbert took the helm as Steelers director of football operations was James Farrior back in 2002.
Instead, the Steelers started with their most pressing need; the offensive line and worked on bringing back their own.
"There is less risk involved signing your own (players)," Steelers director of football operations said. "Even if you sign them early, as opposed to signing a free agent, You've seen them, you've worked with them and know what they can do."
So in what many felt was a surprise move, the team decided to make left tackle Max Starks their franchise player. Only once before had the team used this tag, with safety Carnell Lake.
Finding a top caliber O-Lineman in free-agency can be expensive, and the left tackle comes at a premium. Considering Starks play last year (He allowed just four sacks) and the fact he was one of the top players left on the market, the team made the tender.
Granted Starks is not a top tier left tackle like Jordan Gross who re-signed with his Panthers ( 6 years, $60 million; $35 million guaranteed) or even Vernon Carey who re-signed with the Dolphins (6 years, $42 million). But Starks is big at 6-foot-8, 340 pounds, and has started in two Super Bowls. He is also young at 28.
The franchise tender of $8.451 million may also have something to do with the fact the team likes continuity. That was also evident as two players who have been injury prone were left out of future plans. Kendall Simmons was released on Thursday and Marvel Smith not offered any tender.
The team also made a high tender to right tackle Willie Colon, meaning if someone else decides to sign him, the Steelers will get a first round pick in return.
Next up, was the signing of right guard Chris Kemeoatu on Friday. Thought to be heading to the Jets, he basically took over Simmons contract, a five year deal worth $20 million.
While it may be questioned by fans and some media as to why they would want to keep the same line together that they had last year, it makes sense, because the Steelers finally have continuity at a position that has been lacking it the past three years.

Re: Steelers making right moves with free-agents
Sorry, but I disagree with this author.
He says its the pittsburgh way, but if paying overpriced free agents to keep them from moving to another team was our way.........guys like Joey Porter, Alan Faneca, Levon Kirkland, Wayne Gandy, John Jackson, Earl Holmes, Hardy Nickerson, Rod Woodson, etc. would never have left.
The only difference with those guys is the Steelers had young replacements ready to step in and take over. The Steelers have no young stars in the making on the O line...........that is not "the Steelers way".

Re: Steelers making right moves with free-agents
I blame alot of the sacks and bad Oline play on Ben. He tries so hard to make plays and when he scrambles around the line has to try and stay with him and they dont know which way he is going. That creates holding calls. I dont agree with tagging Max 2 years in a row but he is young and played good during last season. Signing Kemo to a long deal means he is gonna only get better. 1 year starting with a 2 differant LT can be difficult. Anyone who has played o line will tell you if guys are in and out of the lineup you dont get to know their tendencies and that is very important.

Re: Steelers making right moves with free-agents
This O-Line helped get them a ring so for me that gives them another year to show what they can do as a WORKING unit. They can't say they are not comfortable with one another they have had pretty much a full season together.
I really think 2009 is going to be even better. Just about everyone is coming back and the young talent continues to improve and learn the system.

Re: Steelers making right moves with free-agents
My gut tells me that when the FA and the draft is over, we will have acquired the "glue" for the O line. It's hard to argue with how they came together to win a Superbowl, nor am I forgetting about the incredible play from the defense that held us up until the O line found it's way (just in time). We just need that "oomph" factor.
Be patient, and trust in the FO.
I'm more worried about our ability to get it into the endzone on 3rd and goal. We left way too many points on the field this year and it must be addressed.
"We're not going to turn our backs on him," Ward said. "We're going to treat him like our brother. We're going to accept him back and be very supportive of him and help him get through this. In this locker room, he's still our quarterback."

Re: Steelers making right moves with free-agents
I have played O-line. I have coached O-line. and I have attended coaching clinics where professional O line coaches taught us drills and techniques. KNOWING AN OPPONENTS TENDENCIES IS FAR LESS IMPORTANT THAN KNOWING YOUR OWN TECHNIQUE AND REFINING IT!!!!!!
You sound like you speak from experience on the O line??? Can you tell me a time where you were able to block a guy better because you "know his tendencies"??
-Kemo is 26 years old and should know he has to block thru the whistle, not to the whistle.
- He needs to know that he cant give up on defenders,
- he has to get low and use his hands on Colts defenders that he outweighs by 80 lbs so they dont stuff him on the goal line.
-he needs to know to watch for the blitzing LB that sacks Ben instead of double teaming the guy over Hartwig (which he does).
The Steelers overpaid an average OG because they had drafted nobody to succeed him in the past 5 years other than Cameron Stevenson from Rutgers, who they cut in TC.

Re: Steelers making right moves with free-agents
They may do that in this years draft and things might change. We still have 2 months to see how it shakes out.
Charley Casserly made a great point that Albert Haynesworth 2 best seasons were in contract years and the NFL teams question his motivation. I have the same concern of Starks motivation and that has always been the scouting report on him. We will see if he is a 1 year wonder when they extend his deal.

Re: Steelers making right moves with free-agents
I agree the FO made the right decisions. They now have stability going into TC. They can focus on drafting BPA/OL depth without being forced to going OL early and often wtihout having to trade down losing additional draft picks. Plus the draft is always a gamble. No one is a "gaurantee." The Steelers don't gamble and they definately don't over reach outside the organization.
The OL is servicable. Continuity will help clear up mental mistakes. Quicker releases by BB will make them look like PBers. Draft a Guard and Tackle to shore up depth and we'll be right back in the playoffs.

text: Occasionally I am inspired by an event or situation to comment on it, to a longer extent than just "Hey, look at that." A topic that catches my attention and prompts such a retort is almost always postage increases. It doesn't happen enough to make a living off the frequency, but of recent, it has been consistent. Then, when I actually put "pen to paper" in a more "fingers to keyboard" manner, my imagination runs past the stated event or item and into a world of border hallucination. One actual professional novel-writing author who has had occasion to read my works has even noted that English may not be my first language. With all the non sequiturs and allusions to media and personal experience that must be also personally experienced, it's sometimes a challenge to the reader to translate some of my expressions into human. Hopefully that's what makes it uniquely enjoyable and something to come back to, time after time. I have a great respect for those who do make the effort to put time into a daily blog, or diary, or journal, and encourage it as an exercise in composition classes, or training. Sometimes though, no mater how creative or inspired one is, every once in a while one of them is just going to seem like it's been "phoned in" -- which, in all actuality is not that bad a practice, literally, for this sort of enterprise. Maybe this forum being available will make it more attractive for me to improve my proficiency and prolific-ness. And my vocabulary.
