    Let's remember Real's motivation for this. Real is trying to get their crappy DRMed files onto Apple's platform which, I'm led to believe they sell at or below cost (those drives must be expensive) so that their music store (the merits of which are debatable; clearly it isn't as fair as it should be to the artists) can sell files. Now Real is trying to get a free ride onto Apple's device?

  19. Signal to Noise ratio on IIALP - Abuse Logging Protocol · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm browsing the RFC, and it sounds like they're planning on having people's firewalls spit out IIALP messages in response to port scans, etc. In my opinion, this is a really bad idea! Worm activity, someone running a stupid automated scan against an entire class A (whoooops!) by mistake, or a port scan trying to locate a particular machine whose ip has changed (which I have had to do), etc need to be differentiated from actual malicious activities. I can see this being used by overzealous admins to try to drop ALL traffic at the firewall level from anyone *ever* who gets a complaint propagated to them via this. Also, does anyone really expect their STUPID!@!!@ .log TLD proposal to be accepted?!??!! Jeez, everyone knows that this will never go through. Why do people insist on changing DNS, creating namespace pollution or breaking some other protocol (SMTP for a lot of spam "spolutins") for every problem facing the net!

  23. Fools! on The Worst Development Job You've Ever Had? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I was working at a midsize manufacturing firm that had upgraded its legacy homebrew UNIX shipping/manufacturing/ordering system from an old XENIX machine to a RH5.2 box. Users were hooked in via a bunch of VT100s via a DigiBoard
    • The code base for the entirely custom code (60,000+ lines) was mostly written in pre-ANSI C, done by math undergrads in the mid 1980's
    • There was no testing procedure in place for software development; everything was done on the live machine.
    • There were no makefiles; I had to figure out the entire build procedure by hand.
    • I didn't even address the security of the system. The database was just a binary file that was written by a library. All the DB security was merely implemented in the front ends to it, anyone with shell access to the machine (which was everyone in the company) could read and write to it freely. It had credit card transactions retained back to the early 90s in it.
    • My boss was a cokehead with a Napolean complex. My office was the server room which was adjacent to his cubicle. All day in a room with no windows
    • There were tons of alignment bugs when old binaries were recompiled, often I would manually shift the address in a pointer to get something to work.
    • There had been no full time developer ever; just a string of cheap CS and math undergrads (like myself) who would burn out after a few months playing sysadmin and programmer to my boss who didn't believe in paying for keeping it up to date and well maintained.
    • The code quality was... terrible. There was one program for controlling a cutting device that used an array of twenty-odd floats for each of the variables rather than using real variable names. Hundreds of lines of crap like "f[23]=f[11]*(f[17]-f[1])".
    I only lasted a few months. Not enough money for the stress.
