3 kids have been mugged, and one girl raped in the last 3 months within 1 block from the collage my girlfriend goes to and lives by.
It Make her and myself feel so much safer knowing that the goverment(s) are spending millions of dollars a year to help these companies keep evil software pirates behind bars.
"Hmmm... Probably not. However, I would suggest not downloading and running any exe files from unknown sources. "
The two people I had spamming a URL to me were referencing a COM file, not an EXE file.
"Unlike the idiots usin AIM who've been hit with this."
You can still be infected with the rootkit, you just would not be infecting other people. The only thing you need to do is click on a URL that an infected friend sends you, and then double click the file to view/run it. For example the file I was sent was pic0100.com.
So its not just any idiot using AIM, but any "idiot" connected to the AIM network via GAIM, Trillian, etc.
"Stored Procs are pain my the butt. It's so much easier to just code the SQL statement into your code."
Yes easier, but that doesn't make it better. Stored procs have Many uses, performance, speed, security etc.
"If it's in a stored proc who can change it? Any one of the programmers or database administrators. If it's in MY code who can change it? ME! Yup"
Yep, and if you have a compiled program that has been distributed, and requires an update to the SQL your app uses, do you A: update your program, and hope that every user updates their program. or B: Update the stored procedure that is called from your application. Still like your way?
Second of all, who should have access to YOUR code? Well the DBA to start, because it is THEIR database judging from your attitude.
Stored procedures have very many uses, from working with the sqlserver agent (and other helpful default stored procs) to managing huge amounts of data. You should take a few hours and learn how to use them.
A good friend of mine had something like this happen to him.
He was hanging out with a friend tha was doing tagging (spray painting) and was caught by the cops. My friend wasnt doing any of it, but because he had a sharpie (marker) they took everything he had in his bag, which was everything he needed for school, 2 weeks worth of homework, 5 or some books etc. It basically ruined my friends chances of finishing the semester even if he could afford to buy the books again.
Yeah he shouldnt have been walking with someone who was spray painting on walls, and is your traditional "wrong place at the wrong time" situation. It's been 2 years now and still has not gotten any of his stuff back.

Because their parents wont, so everyone else has too.
Seriously there are far worse things in the world then chat rooms, yes they might talk to some peterass on a chat, but I think having streets full of drug addicts/ crooks is far worse then chating nasty with a 18+ year old on the internet.
Why would people want to spend 5-9 bucks to rent a movie and the cost for the new DVD player to play the disk to only watch a dvd 1 time when its easier and free to just download them. or people will buy the dvd and burrow/copy them for friends.
Most people I know watch a movie more then once, if not all the way through to at least see specific parts or the extra sections.
The only way something like this worked was if people were forced into it with no other options, and the dvd players were so cheap they could be giveng away from rental stores, or the hardware was created and the disks didnt come out for another 5-10 years.
"Icons for the browser, which will be customized with links to HP and Compaq Web sites, will appear in the Windows Start menu"
Plus I'm sure AOL is installed, which means AIM will be installed, and I don't even want to guess what else is installed by default as well.
It is cool that Netscape is installed with the PC and your given the option to have it as your default browser. I am not a mozilla fan, but that would have been the better choice, unless there is something planned for this deal besides just giving customers a better browser.
According to TFA it "supports" a USB network card, no mention of supporting a USB modem. TFA also does not say if it comes with a network card built in, I am guessing that if it did come with one, they would have mentioned it.
Also without a monitor ($50.00 - $300.00 extra) its also worthless for the market they are going after.
This sounds cool, except for the fact you can buy bigger/bulking vanilla boxes with more hardware suitable to someone who would want an internet enabled machine. It sounds like a good deal for someone who wants a very small, low quality (meaning speed, storage etc) machine.
The open SuSE website wasnt hacked, it was a damn gamming machine they had on their network.
From TFA:
"The employees that set it up apparently had no idea of security," Brandon said. "But what is really surprising is that Novell would allow employees to set up game servers on their corporate network and then allow the public to access it."
"There was no major breach of security here," Barney said. "Needless to say, we are taking the appropriate steps" to address the situation.
From what I understand they are going to try making money off the BT software name by selling the software, or including advertisments. But can't you still just use a different application to access the different BT files online like bitornado etc?
"In fact, they have this slogan that they are going to organize the world's information. "
No it wasn't the "do no evil" slogan. I'm guessing most of the post in this thread will be made on this comment the submitter had made, who should pull his head out of his ass and stop tryin to flamebait.
Wow, I just read that post I made from when I woke up and just re-read the article, damn that sounded like flamebait.
What I was trying to say was that in the past, Sun servers were allways so expensive when compared to other servers on the market with comparable specs, and that if they were planning on competing they would need to follow behind all other computer hardware companies and offer cheap products vs more expensive better designed products.
I have allways loved sun hardware/software, but have allways been many years behind with it came to the hardware simply because I couldnt afford anything newer.
"servers represent the company's bid to woo customers, particularly the financial industry sector, away from rival server vendors Hewlett-Packard and Dell."
So these severs will be faster then most intel based processors with a lower price tag?
"Or, you could by an Xbox and support Microsoft. Which is worse?"
And Sony is any better?
Last I checked Sony wasn't just in the console, PC hardware and PC software (games) business, but they are also into music, video, movie production etc etc etc.
Sony has a huge hold in many different areas, and is also a part of the RIAA and also the MPAA.
Sony V.S. Microsoft isn't comparing apples to oranges, its comparing apples to apples.
It's not about displaying images that are on their website(s), its about displaying their images that are on OTHER peoples websites, aka google finds their images on other peoples websites and displays them without the origional owners permission.
Microsofts Xbox has had wireless networking for a while now.
It should be expected of Nintendo and sony to match what Microsofts pervious console, anything less just means they are falling behind.

AOL comes with Itunes? I thought AOL had been working on their own music site for a while now, or is Itunes a temp thing?

Thanks for the link, I forgot about that site.
:)
The only thing is that the firt article I see when I check out the site has a post here
"I believe this was on the front page before..."
As stupid as the people who don't RTFA.
It's not about displaying images that are on their website(s), its about displaying their images that are on OTHER peoples websites, aka google finds their images on other peoples websites and displays them without the origional owners permission.
IF AU dosen't like it, they should ban Google. It's not googles job to ban sites that countries don't like, its the countries job.
Not only do they claim that the site is not compatible with IE (which renders it fine) But they claim that the website is w3 compliant.
After the page loads I get a nice JavaScript error, and also decided to check the w3 validator and found 24 errors, not making the website compliant.
If your going to complain about " standard compliant browsers" you should at least make your site compliant to THE standards you claim to enforce.

This is the way it has allways been between these two. What has changed in the last 5-10 years that might have changed this?
