Slashdot Mirror

My computer homeland security appears to perfectly adequate. Just try hacking me!

You could ask it to clean up your web site. Your URL for your resume is http://127.0.0.1/Alex/Web/primer/content/resume.ht ml.

Ya might want to fix that. :)

Bro - your mirror doesn't seem to be working.

Because of the severe slashdotting, Elch himself is providing a mirror to the article. Check it out at this site.

I think you mean here.

Also at a Google Cache at 127.0.0.1

Reminds me of those weird dreams you get where you leave one room through the door and end up in exactly the same room. Think about it.

As there's cache of the images, anyone with a Web server could run this as their homepage at http://127.0.0.1/

Another thought: the icons could be recycled and used for ObjectDock (http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/) if only the goddamned thing wouldn't crash Explorer.exe so much...

127.0.0.1 is nothing.

Even more powerful 0wnable boxes available at warez.phantom.com, 0x7F425292, http://0177.0xa/, and http://0x7f.33.017/.

I'm really happy with YourOwn linux, it's served us well, and I cant imagine us moving to another distribution anytime soon. The reality is, it's served us so well, we've actually taken on the task of sponsoring the developers producing it, and have kept them on retainer ever since. This distribution has served us so well, I fully expect it'll be deployed on well over 1000 boxes by the end of the year.

The YourOwn (tm) Linux distribution is based on OpenLDAP and all the other out-of-the-box features you're looking for.

It can be downloaded from YourOwnBox.org.

We all know who you are Smilin. You've been broadcasting your IP address to all and sundry.

Good or not, now that you've posted it you can expect both his home page and your home page to get /.ed.

I just surfed to your home page. It's an exact copy of mine. Why are you copying my web site? It's not even that good.

It gives somebody a clue when spam comes out of their rooted box or open relay mail server. It also makes for a cleaner internet. That junk traffic doesn't go far!

Phishing attempts would be using plain text and referencing URLs that mimick and look MUCH like the URLs coming from citibank and ebay scams.

No, they would use plain text including URLs which might look like--but are obviously NOT--URLs coming from the target company. Think about it--if you send a message asking citibank customers to come to www.citybank.com, you have not only given yourself away, but you have given a huge target for citibank to nail. You don't really think people will *click* on a numeric address when they only deal with their bank as citi.com? (And you do realize we could click on links way before HTML infected messaging, right? URLs are pretty obvious bits of text.)

It's not even just that the HTML makes hiding and redirection too easy. The explicit and concrete nature of the plain text raises awareness. Of course there would still be phishing, but without the "CLICK HERE," it would be trapped at the comical Nigerian-scam level.

Do we want every post to have a advertisement in the .sig? I personally think that moderators should mod down any post with SPAM at the end.

Visit my website!

You're right. I should point out that I created the Internet.

Radiation Helps Doctors See Through the Body

Technology/IT|Posted by michael on 09:45 PM December 3rd, 2003
from the radiation dept.

Clinton man10 writes "RedNova is reporting about a new kind of radiation that can pass through some parts of the body, like skin and organs, and be absorbed by other harder structures. Using a sofisticated receiver on the other end, the doctor can take a picture of your inner body. Doctors are using it to detect broken bones. This is a much better alternative than the old fashioned method of pressing the bone to see if the patient cries. They are going to name this fantastic radiation as X-rays."

Don't worry. I'm sneaking my cam and laptop with wireless Internet in and you can check out the movie in real-time here.

Here are a few good representatives to mention if you want someone to debate on intellectual property issues:

Bruce Perens, former Debian project leader.

Lawrence Lessig, Professor of Law at Stanford Law School, Chair of the Creative Commons project, author of several books on intellectual property...

and,
you. Seriously. You are the best person to represent your own views. Then we know what you think. Just make sure that you know who you are speaking for - I am sure you can represent your views well, but I don't know if you represent my views very well.

If you want someone more local, start asking librarians at the local library if any of them have viewpoints on IP and DRM issues.

please post other such 'potentially good' representatives in reply.

But really, if you want someone with a suit and a long list of credentials to represent the people in a debate on intellectual property, pick the Professor of Law at Stanford, Lawrence Lessig. That's who I would pick. I like his views and his ideas. I publish some of my work under a creative commons license, and tried to follow the Elred case.

I assume the slowdown has to do with recent attempts to implement RFC8829 which has to do with using koala bears to route data packets through an intricate network of eucalyptus trees. In attempts I've seen, this results in the koala bears eating the root DNS and then falling asleep.

Come on, try to hack my 31337 firewall!

Actually they wanted to go with that, but it turned out that wineecksandsonsest1832purveyorsoffinesoftwareandno tednot-emulators.com was already taken.

I get most of my news from here. But even better, I found a great techie download site that has LOTS of free utilities and software, though most of it is, eh... pirated.

I apologize for being offtopic. I just need to vent.

I read an article a few months ago, not about the actual harvesters, but about spammers. What upset me the most was how much of a punk this one in particular was. The spammer they were interviewing was a kid - he was something like 13 years old. He actually had the nerve (stupidity?) to tell the reporter that he couldn't understand why anyone would be upset at receiving spam, because all they needed was to "just hit the delete key!"

Kinda like he was telling all of us, "Hey! Stop hitting yourself!" and beatin' us up with his crap. A C

sfu engineering can go eat a dick

and so can the lameness filter.

you know, the concept of a lameness filter on /. is highly ironic. if lameness were really filtered out, /. would look like this.

...and they've all been just linked by slashdot.

Does anyone else get the feeling these 8000 people who gave their screenames to the site are about to get a lot of very exciting offers for penis enlargement and Hot17F Hi! My name is cindy :) Come and look at my webcam.. I like to have fun.. Just for you.. http://blog.example.com/ba342434/tubgirlcam/

Here is a mirror, because it's slashdotted.

On a somewhat related note, while we may not see opt-in mandated for a while, I'm sure companies will be quick to adapt:

By signing up for our free Britney Spears subscription service, you ackwnoledge you have agreed to our draconian privacy policy which allows us to sell your personal data to anybody we want and spam you from now 'till doomsday. To activate your account, we will send you an e-mail shortly. The spamming will begin soon thereafter.

This is one of the reasons why legislating a technical problem won't make it go away--there's always a loophole; and it takes longer to fix a legal loophole than it does for Microsoft to fix their bugs.

Well, I suppose you are right (except for the dipshit part). I meant that I don't buy into that crap where you ramble about the details of your life for the world to see. I comment on "news" stories here, so that may be some form of blog. I think the real bloggy part of /. is the ability for people to have friends lists, write journal entries, etc. I don't partake in that stuff, I think it is stupid.

So blog off you bloggity blogznatch.
(did I use that term correctly?)

Hey read my online journal and see what I bought at the grocery store yesterday! Whee.

Now, we all know that the end of the world as we know it will be caused by machines taking over the earth in a massive revolution. But checking up with the latest in self-aware artificial intelligence technology, especially the kind that is put in charge of large weapons, anybody can see that this "next big step" in man's progress is many years away.

Why wait?

You see, the machines that take over the world don't necessarily have to be self-aware, or even maliciously artificially intelligent. They just have to be in charge of large weapons. And that goal has already been achieved.

All that really has to happen is to get those computers programmed properly. Instead of waiting for self-awareness to fuel their murderous, malicious machinations, we could just program them to kill us. So much simpler that way!

Of course, given the distributed nature that this program will have to take, it could never be done by just one person or one group. Not even the legions of Microsoft Minions led by the Dread Lord Willy Gates couldn't do this. No, this is the perfect example of how Open Source (TM) can do what no one else can.

I've put up a web site here to coordinate the effort. Everyone just needs to find the nearest computer that controls a weapon of mass destruction and reprogram it. We'll work out a tenative schedule on the web site. See you there!
