Slashdot Mirror

hehe, cool! there's a new track called "Addict" on our myspace (I know, I know, as a techie it's horrible, but it does work for reaching 'normal' people). It's the first thing we've finished from our next cd which should be finished by about, um, March (hopefully!).

I also uploaded the "Timestorm" album to last.fm. You can stream it all and download two of the tunes free (only 128kbps, which I find pretty unlistenable, but hey, it is only a taster). We've sold out of the CD now, but we'll still sell DRM free, LAME-encoded 320s to anybody who wants it. Unfortunately I can't seem to get CubeCart to talk to Paypal, so the actual shop with automatic secure download link presented upon receipt, isn't there yet. You have to trust us to email you the download link :(

lizzards Whoa, that sounds like an awesome band name.

I'm in Southern to Mid-California. (I'm at work right now, and can't say). Look me up on myspace for further information http://myspace.com/joelinux

The world is a cam whore.

Use the FIND command or CTRL F to find the word LOGIN.

It starts with this line of code ... I have stripped out the first "

style type="text/css"
div table td font { display: none }
div div table tr td a.navbar, div div table tr td font { display: none }
.testnav { position:absolute; top: 136px; left:50%; _top: 146px

The code was at the very end/bottom of my ABOUT ME section.

It then continues with an obvious line of code for the menu choices. I stripped out the code and the page is fine ... FOR NOW!

http://myspace.com/norcaprapistinfo So far, we're getting a pretty good response!

Why on earth would an employer be looking at someone's myspace page to decide whether to hire them or not? What happened to interviews? If you want to create fake information. Just buy a domain, get some cheap hosting, and create a Professional looking site all about you. This would be a plus if you are trying to get a job in web development or in technology in general. It actually shows your knowledge. Another plus is that http://meettheprofessional.com/ looks a lot better than http://myspace.com/jacktheraper. You can put any fake quotes you want on there, or just add a wordpress blog to it and add fake comments. It's a lot better than inducing a seizure in a potential future employer.

If you are over thirty and have a My Space account you are probably a pedophile.

Oh my god, you're right!

Ok , now let me break it down for you. Based on the above links showing the Microsoft Innovative Features, and the little video clip of Pirates Of Silicon Valley, which is based on a True Story mind you, I have come to this conclusion: Seeing as Microsoft, has stolen code before, and hates Linux so much, as I have shown in the past, this selection right here gives you the information you need to know, if you read between the lines: At Microsoft we undertook our own analysis of our patent portfolio and concluded that it was necessary and important to create a patent covenant for customers of these products. What they are saying, if you read between the lines is this: " There are parts of code, somewhere, in some feature of Windows, be it current, or Vista, that are copied parts of Novell IP." In order for them to not get thier ass handed to them in court by Novell AGAIN, they need to come up with some solution, that will allow them to skate by and not get sued. Whats the best way to do that ? Make a deal with Novell, saying " We wont sue you, if you dont sue us" .. Thats it, its that simple. Since Microsoft is claiming that Linux has thier IP code, and they checked out thier portfolio, why else would they need to make an agreement like that, "IF" Microsoft didn't have any of Novell's Makes sense to me. http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog. view&friendID=20324789&blogID=196478440&Mytoken=0B 8E5F8B-DD46-4538-A56268A5523D6F4713954253

Leah is great ! Does Leah do music, too ? If not, may I suggest MC-Router ( http://www.myspace.com/1gb ) and Lil Nix ? Smart + Cute is the best.

In search of stupidity? You can all stop looking, I've found it!

Here is where one artist stands on this issue.

It's interesting that the Internet and all it entails is responsible for the success of the latest album (the first one of 12 to debut in the top 10).

Actually, I'd love to see a laptop built out of an ARM core. That'd be a hoot

I would disagree

Heya;

I'm not a visa service, but the visa is 200rmb (USD24), I applied in Beijing both times through my travel agency, adding 4% to the air ticket cost. Foreign diplomats and foreign media are not permitted access. All others are OK, from what I've seen.

China Mainland includes all except HK, Macau, and Taiwan (even though TW is where the Kunming retreated to, TW is Greater-China, in BJ's eyes -- tough love for an errant child). There are also 4 cities in China that have rules like District of Columbia in the US: the municipality is federally-run (BJ, TJ, SH, and SZ?). Tibet is an autonomous region: Beijing allows it more latitude to run itself right now. Tibettans can vote for some levels of government, actually, according to Xinhua articles.

You need an additional visa to Tibet, but it's not too difficult nor expensive. If you visit Zhumolangmashan, you'll also need an additional visa: 600rmb (UDS75) for foreigners, 35rmb (USD5) for your guide and driver if they are PRC citizens, and we were also charged 100rmb (USD12) for our vehicle.

The point of my original article was: take a look before you render such a strong opinion, and I will help you get that look if you really want to. Visa discussions are a bit of a rat-hole tangent, best chased by skinny little terriers.

I would love to know what the numbers are for websites that have been REMOVED as well.
Huge growth in quantity does not translate into better quality content.

For reference, I give you http://www.myspace.com/.........And NO, YOU CAN'T GIVE IT BACK!

At least the game said I did well enough to get on the Buddy All Stars list.

Of course, it didn't say how I would get on that list. Maybe they have a signup page where I can enter my name, address, social security number and a picture of myself in the bathtub. Oh, here it is.

that's incorrect. i added 2 songs to my spaceverb profile about 3 weeks ago, neither is marked for dl, both play just fine. feel free to check it out for yourself http://www.myspace.com/spaceverb

http://myspace.com/StepUpUK Mind you if that horrible attempt is /dev/nulled I've no compliants.

MySpace doesn't have to respect fair use. They can remove anything they want from their servers. Willy-nilly removal of stuff just to cover their ass is a great reason to avoid dealing with them, but they can do whatever they want. They can even change their mind, at any time, about what they want to do:

According to Tom (the guy who runs Myspace, I think) spammers can use login credentials to send spam to friends of a user. There are also screenshots on Tom's blogpost - it seems the best workaround so far is instructing users to type myspace into the address bar themselves before logging in.

Yes, I noticed that.

I also noticed that the summary doesn't make any mention of it being a profile page. The article itself doesn't tell you it's a profile page until much further down. Seems like this would be the first thing to point out.

Based on the summary, I got the impression that you would be presented with the false login form if you went to http://www.myspace.com/

Maybe you didnt notice the URL the spoof is at http://www.myspace.com/login_home_index_html

From the Myspace Security Bulletin

5.ALWAYS LOOK at the address bar when asked to login...
MAKE SURE that it is a MYSPACE.COM address.
FOR EXAMPLE:
http://login.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=logi n
----------------------
avoid things like
http://login.iwantyourpassword.com/index.cfm?fusea ction=login

The most important part is of course that the address had "myspace.com" in it

If you ever doubt the login pages...start over back at myspace.com

Heh, it passed the important part.

Confused on why this is phishing and not just your basic hacked server. I mean this sounds like someone inserted there own code a myspace protected server.

Security conscious people use MySpace? Who knew...

There's even a Slashdot group on it actually. And as security concious as I am, I didn't see what was wrong with the two first example screenshots on Tom's blog about phishing, I think that if I went through one of these fake login-page profiles I might have fell for it, just because I don't expect to get phishing from a page on the genuine site itselves. Lots of people in my MySpace friends fell for it, and almost half of the bulletins in my bulletins list is the direct consequence of that.

As I commented on Tom's blog post, they have a big security issue for technically allowing phishing (among others, I suppose) happen on their own site. IMHO they're giving users a too great HTML/CSS freedom.

Seems Myspace has fixed it. Not that I really care, as I've never used it nor do I have any intention to.

Next!?

Why is it that merely reading a single headline can bring a BIG smile to my face. I don't hate this man, but I seriously believe that he is nothing more than a publicity whore.

If anyone is interested, here is an open letter I wrote to Jack Thompson a few months ago. It pretty much sums up my opinion on this man. Yes, I know it's MySpace, but I'm cheap and it's free.

If we give him a peanut and ignore him will he go away?

Not only that, he also seems to have a keen musical talent. Not just his use of rhythm. For example, listen to the use of harmony in "Hardware Store" on his MySpace page It's an original song and it's fantastic IMHO.

Google's new website optimizer suddenly quits after being run against MySpace. It's been reported the optimizer was later heard weeping, as well as muttering "the horror."

Don't forget theres actually a lot of music from non-riaa record labels

Theres "big" labels like Magnatune, plenty of small ones, and some cases of artists selling music themselves, like, ... er... MySpace.

see http://www.myspace.com/robots.txt

Except the French had "Nouvelle Star" before we had "American Idol."

Don't forget. They think Jerry Lewis is a comic genius. Which means they probably think Ben Stiller doesn't suck ass.

I have never quite understood why, as well, there is not some sort of portable font system that could be used in web pages, where if a font is unavialable locally, one can be including on the web site, downloaded, and temporalily used to display the web page.

Okay. I just did a Google search and found a random ugly MySpace page (don't click if you value your sanity). Now imagine that this guy can make you download fonts, as well.

Even aside from that, and copyright concerns, can you wait until someone starts serving up corrupted fonts and 0wnz1ng computers with them?

"I believe that many people will be doing lots of 'natural experiments' with collective intelligence in the next few years -- with or without us,"

Not many people have heard of the small band from Austin, The Sword. They are a truly excellent band, and their driving riffs make them perfect for a game like Guitar Hero.

They sound like early Black Sabbath, but with a Celtic/Viking fantasy theme. And their live act is damn near flawless. They're on tour right now, and if they play anywhere near you, I highly recommend seeing them now while they're still playing smaller venues.

I'm really impressed that they were able to get into something as big as Guitar Hero 2. I have a feeling Freya is going to be a beast to play.

Mall is tooo far away.... Just go to Their Space[MySpace.com]

And I account for two of them. When I thought about putting my music on myspace I didn't take the time to closely examine the page and see that there was a separate music section. So I created a crappy little "social" account. There are a ton of bands and movies out there along with other commerical entities. Yes, there are many older folk, but to think at all that those 116 million accounts represent 116 million individuals is wrong.

You can join the Windows Vista group.

The "Over 35 Crowd" included politicians desperately trying to win votes.

I started playing guitar at the age of 14. At the time Ozzy Osbourne and Iron Maiden were my absolute favorites, so I naturally started trying to play their music. Within two months I could play just about everything on the Randy Rhodes Tribute album, and even now - 18 years later - I still don't consider myself a great guitarist. I just happened to practice those songs incessantly for the first 6 months or so. Then I joined a band and started writing music. Now I still write (my music), but as I have a full time job and a family I don't have the time to practice like I used to or play in a band. Maybe when the kids are a little older.

Point is, in two months most anybody willing to put the time to it CAN be playing Randy's music, Vaughn's music, and maybe even Dimebag's music, though it might take a little more time to build up that speed and accuracy for most.
