  1. Ah. Freedom at last. by mnemotronic · · Score: 2, Informative · on Spy Act of 2007 = "Vendors Can Spy Act"
    As a computer hardware and software provider who performs computer and network security diagnostics and technical support, I will soon be free to monitor and interact with *anyones* network connection, service, or computer. Legally.

    Stand back baby, I'm a Nessus monkey with a long list of a**holes, a can 'o nmap, a fully loaded Metasploit, and I ain't afraid to use 'em.

  2. 3COM, first with TCP/IP by Animats · · Score: 4, Informative · on The 3Com Saga
    3COM was the first company to support TCP/IP in a commercial product. 3COM's UNET, released in 1980, was a TCP/IP stack for PDP-11 machines. But they dropped TCP/IP in favor of their own private protocol set for their PC LAN. That sold for a few years, then tanked.

    I did considerable work on that product while at Ford Aerospace. Basically, I had to overhaul TCP, and wrote ICMP and UDP from scratch. We used this internally within Ford, but couldn't sell it or give it away, since UNET was proprietary.

    Bill Joy's TCP implementation in BSD came years later. But because he was funded to give it away, it became popular, even though it sucked until the second release of 4.3BSD.

  3. Hmm.. by u-238 · · Score: -1, Troll · on Japan, China & South Korea May Develop OS

    i don't mean to come off as racist (oh wait), but since when were thoes sneaky little asians trustworthy?

    what first comes to mind is the famous bob's ip block list

    to quote him directly...

    "Full "Class A" address blocks. Asia is just too F-ED UP. They should not be a part of the "Internet Community"
    because they are FULL of SPAMMERS and HACKER/CRACKERs. Many ISPs are starting to block Asian addresses since
    the ratio of good vs bad is just too high. 60% of all SPAM comes from Asian computers (probably relayed thru
    unsecured servers). Also, a vast majority of hackers and worms orginate from Asia (Sapphire/SQLSlammer, the
    FASTEST spreading worm that the Internet has ever seen originated from Korea!)"

    i havent even gotten started, but i think the above speaks for itself

    You can find a catalogue of recent Sun reference prices at UnixHub.com

    UnixHub also has relevant short pieces e.g. on SparcBooks which may also be of interest. Look a little down the main page past the updates to the links on the left.

    Disclaimer - I hope he's not /.'d. You can read the reasons why (SDSL) on his site ;)

    Just in case no one's already mentioned it SunHelp.org is also a very handy site.
