It’d be interesting to see the obstruction over a replacement that won’t change the composition of the court.
If they were smart, they’d let it slide so they could say they have been cooperative. We’ll see if they’re smart.
However, if Rehnquist is smart, he’ll have O’Connor (or someone else) retire with him. A 4-4 court isn’t a good thing, but a 4-3 court could at least still take care of business.

The problem is that while the documentation for Snort is ok, many of tha add-on functions, plugins, and associated applications is lacking or non-existent. This book tries to bring into one place all the things one could want to do with Snort and put it in one place. In a large part it succeeds.
It does miss a few things along the way, such as management tools like BASE (the replacement for ACID which is not being developed anymore), and sguil. It also tends to more explain how to do things than why to do things and I believe the section on sensor placement could be expanded. Lastly, I think the portion on legal aspects of intrusion detection and evidence can be expanded, but that might need to be taken with a grain of salt because I am a legal wonk. To be fair, a book of this type can’t cover everything in great detail.
As someone who does run snort and has been working on ways to expand some of the data I get to it, it has proven to be a valuable resource which far outweighs the few things I found lacking. It is the only resource of its kind I know to exist. It brings to light some tools which I haven’t thought of using the way it suggests, like perfmonitor and clamav. I came away from reading this book with solid ideas and tools which I plan to add into snort. If you are looking for solid documentation on Snort and the tools and tricks you can use with it, this is your book.

My first comment would be that if my wife were to overhear my listen to it, she’d say “It’s better than the crap you usually listen to”, and she’d probably be right. (Either techno/dance or celtic/bagpipe music pretty much).
The CD consists of love and anti-love songs, per the theme of the movie (happy married couple of two contract killers who then have to fight each other because one was contracted to off the other. Moral of the story, before you except your next contract killing job, take a look at a photo first). The songs are all older that most everyone is likely to recognize (who can forget “You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling” of Top Gun fame) and puts them into a one-stop listening collection.
The songs flow together nicely and compliment what it seems they were trying to accomplish. The songs chosen have all had staying power and while you might not here them on the radio anymore, I enoyed them at least.
All in all it’s a nice light CD if you are looking for some good love songs… or for some good anti-love songs. You can use it no matter which side you fall on Valentine’s day.
