A few weeks ago, I played around with some of those rootkit detectors. Cool things, if you want to learn about some OS internals.
But: When the primary use of a rootkit detector is to uncover malware so that a virus killer can see it, why not just do an/external/ virus check from a boot CD?
So, that is what I am doing now!
that it is obvious that the Supreme Court would reach this decision. Any other decision would defy all logic. Well, from this point of view, it's interesting to see, that it was only a 8 : ONE(!) decision!
Huh! I, once again, saw this infamous "Patent Pending" icon at the right top corner of the Slashdot article, and I was wondering, what it was about this time. Patent issues have always been so complicated for my simple mind. But then, after clicking on "Read more", and saw this 30 year old ATARI joystick below the Patent icon, and everything became clear!
Theseus is thought to be some/semantic/ search engine, so this would be at least something new compared with Google. But don't ask me what is exactly meant by "semantic search engine", nor ask me about Theseus, I did not find any link on its project page. I have this information from German Heise forum some weeks ago (it's in German!):
Previously discovered black holes are either similar in size to a large star, or super massive holes which are millions of times bigger than a star is able to remain stable. Er, what is measured here, when they say: "as large as a star" or even larger? I thought, black holes were singularities without any spacial extension?
'A front loader (washing machine) is just at the right height [...] for a four-year-old,' [...] I think a four-year-old precocious enough to read and understand all the warning labels hidden all over a product probably doesn't need those labels. Yep, no danger here! Well, at least as long as the label isn't put inside the machine.

should the community spend more time building tools to make COBOL livable Yes, Cobol is still around and probably will be for a long time.
It has lived on the hardware of financial institutes for 50 years,
and this software cannot simply be completely exchanged
by an equivalent system written in a modern language.
But, does this mean that the "community" should help?
Why should *I* build such tools, why should *you*?
That's the problem of the financial institutes,
and they are willing to pay large sums to get their code
maintained and modernized in COBOL.
And if they want to have a nice development tool,
so they have to pay for it
(probably indirect by paying a software development enterprise,
which creates and then uses such a tool).
I don't even manage it to completely fill my current 120GB HD. But, provided I manage it some day, such a 37.5 TB beast would serve me well to create an image of my HD every day of the year.;-) Unbelievable!
Does anybody know, how large the current index of Google is? Would such a huge HD be enough for storing it?
100,000 applications a month Wow, are these really all serious applications? I mean, Google just have to put something new on the web, and everyone and his dog starts playing around with it.:)
Slashdot Mirror
BTW: Wasn't there this case between Microsoft and Google, when some search engine specialist was hired by Google?
Cool! Finally we have some real "scientific" method to enlarge people's life. Well, at least some people's life...
