Kazaa Lite: spyware-free version
Pig Hogger writes "According to this VNUNET article, KAZAA-Lite, a new hacked version of spyware-ridden KAZAA file-sharing software is being circulated, sans spyware. The new, improved version has apparently been hacked by a russian programmer, as a matter of course."
Black this out bitches.

I would like to bring to the attention of my fellow Slashdot readers some troubling news: Linux is being used by Al Qaeda, Abu Sayyaf, and other terrorist organizations with equally impressive sounding names as an affordable and powerful tool for purposes of recruitment, passing coded messages regarding planned terrorist operations, and other insidious purposes. I will attempt to show some of the more obvious proofs I have discovered to back up my arguments.
I am sure I have only scratched the surface of this disturbing conspiracy. I strongly urge the Slashdot readership to support American companies such as Microsoft who only hire patriotic American citizens and to boycott any company which is involved with Linux (as they are directly supporting terrorists). I sincerely hope the CIA or FBI can look into the actions of open source developers. People like Linus Torvalds should be taken into custody and have all assets seized.
Act now before it is too late!
shouldn't that be "fuck-head"?

Why Use Free/Open Source Software?
Posted by Hemos on Saturday April 20, @11:48PM
from the quantitative-analysis dept.
An Anonymous Coward writes "I came across Why Use Open Source / Free Software? at Linux Today. As the author says in his intro: "This paper provides quantitative data that, in many cases, using Open Source / Free Source software is a reasonable or even superior approach to using their proprietary competition according to various measures." Good to see stuff we've known / suspected for some time backed up by real data...."

Developers: Liability and Computer Security
Posted by michael on Saturday April 20, @09:05PM
from the money-makes-the-world-go-round dept.
Pelerin writes "In the latest Crypto-Gram, Bruce Schneier has written an interesting essay with some thoughts about the current lack of business incentives for the deployment and production of more secure software. His main recommendation/prediction is this: "Step one: enforce liabilities. This is essential. Today [...] the marketplace rewards low quality. More precisely, it rewards early releases at the expense of almost all quality. If we expect CEOs to spend significant resources on security -- especially the security of their customers -- they must be liable for mishandling their customers' data. If we expect software vendors to reduce features, lengthen development cycles, and invest in secure software development processes, they must be liable for security vulnerabilities in their products." Schneier's five-step plan for thinking about security is also good.

Ask Slashdot: Games in the Workplace?
Posted by Cliff on Saturday April 20, @05:02PM
from the return-of-the-boss-key dept.
Anonymous Coward asks: "Back in the day it was not uncommon for games to contain 'Escape Buttons' and other commands to quickly exit a game. These games appealed to the Geek at Work as he could fill in his Friday afternoon and as soon as he heard his boss' shoes approaching, he could escape from the third dungeon and return to his spreadsheet. Yet games today are not allowing such activities to occur. Most games are requiring so much dedicated action that it is impossible to play a game and still switch back and forth without long delays. Where are the games for the worker?"

Dataplay Ready to Launch
Posted by michael on Saturday April 20, @03:25PM
from the impact-crater dept.
geophile writes "Let's see. This is a CD-like, CD-incompatible storage medium with lower storage capacity than a CD; copying, which is supported by CDs and permitted by fair-use laws is not possible; and it's more expensive than a CD. Read about this great idea here." We've done a couple of stories on the Dataplay discs; this one discusses the heavy content controls built-in. MSNBC had an article on Dataplay a few weeks ago that mentions an "education process" needed to get people to re-buy all their old music in a new format.

JPG Compression - The Bandwidth Saver
Posted by Hemos on Saturday April 20, @02:01PM
from the cutting-down-on-bandwidth-costs dept.
Mr.Tweak writes "TweakTown has posted an article entitled "JPG Compression - The Bandwidth Saver". An article for webmasters and site owners showing how they can significantly reduce the amount of bandwidth they use by compressing JPG images, one of the most common formats for web images. If you own a website and don't yet have knowledge in the field of JPG compression, you should find this very interesting indeed - Save money on bandwidth and please viewers at the same time with quicker loading webpages. They also talk briefly at JPEG2000."

Sounds to me like a great alternative to 802.11a."

Mastercard Cuts Off Third Party Transactions

strredwolf writes "Mastercard has cut out third parties from charging on behalf of merchants. This affects folks paying their auctions and goods via Paypal, Yahoo! Paydirect, and potentially ebay's Billpoint. It may also affect Paypal's Mastercard-backed Debit Card, but there's no word from Paypal as far as I can tell." Word has it paypal is trying to negotiate a side deal with Mastercard.

Book Reviews
Slashdot readers can write, too -- and our book reviews section is brimming with reader-submitted commentary on books from serious (The Physics of Information Technology) to silly (The Root of All Evil). There are even a couple of kids' books, like The Space Child's Mother Goose. (And don't forget some Tolkien-inspired paintings, in Tolkien's World -- good to read in concert with The Atlas of Middle Earth.)
Science fiction fans looking for new material can find and ponder both obscurities like Barrington Bayley's The Knights of the Limits and classics like Stanislaw Lem's Solaris.
Programmers and Sysadmins will want to investigate nuts-and-bolts books like XML in a Nutshell, Programming Linux Games, the Solaris 8 Essential Reference and Hacking Linux Exposed.
And if your primary interest is the business side of a high-tech endeavor, check out Managing Open Source Projects, Gonzo Marketing: Winning Through Worst Practices, and Web ReDesign: Workflow that Works.

I seriously doubt you will ever find a woman willing to touch your penis...
I'm at 50, so I'm not karma whoreing.
Serious question. Why do people even care about their Karma? It's not money, you can't spend it. So what if one guy has a billion karma and the next guy has 0? What difference does it really make?
hehe... i think so. that's a good point though.
either way - i don't know why everbody just doesn't forget about kazaa and just use grokster. its the same thing, just without all the spyware.

He never had respect 4 karma it's true
That's why he never wins
That's why he never has enough
2 post insightful thoughts alright
And he just tacosnots in a huff
And says 'Karma don't matter 2 nite'
Karma don't matter 2 night
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when u think u've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away
That's when u find out that u're better off
Makin' sure your troll's alright
Cuz money didn't matter yesterday
and it sure don't matter 2 nite
etc.
No, I'm not a troll. Nor do I have 50 karma to burn either. But somehow I just couldn't resist writing a slashdot filk on this.
compressing TIFF files with JPEG compression _reduces_ bandwith usage
I'm sick and tired of people saying they're at 50. Some jokers put it into their .sigs. Who gives a damn? Any dumb shit can do it; if you have an IQ above room temperature, it shouldnt take you more than a month of relevant posting.
python -c "x='python -c %sx=%s; print x%%(chr(34),repr(x),chr(34))%s'; print x%(chr(34),repr(x),chr(34))"
WTF ?
When you reach 50 you're supposed to crap all over with +1, otherwise what's the point of karma ?
Moron.
WTF ?
When I post something bashing slashdot I'm always modded down.
Fuck slashdot and it's braindead moderation system.
Again, this is news? What's up with the stories on Slashdot? I've submitted better crap than this that never got through.
Iuhuu Karma come to me baby - i'll give you one real cheap.
