At hohocon (this was Defcon before there was such a thing as Defcon), in 1991, in Austin TX, Erik Bloodaxe and Doc Holiday from LOD announced "project green cheese", designed to entice hackers to to break into military systems to uncover evidence of extra-terrestrial activity. I don't think anyone took it seriously, but this is the first time since that in where I've heard of someone actually attempting something similiar to this (or at least with this type of motive).
This was the same con where John Draper gave his speech about phreaking in eastern Europe, and the old days of blue boxing.
And what is open source? It is interesting in how you define it. Is it in terms of source visibility? Then, OK, in Microsoft's Shared Source program, people can access up to 65 percent of source codes for our core products.
Okay, I realize Yu solicited the term first and that it's probably proper English. Despite that, every time I hear someone refer to "source codes" it irritates the hell out of me. If I told my project manager "I have produced many source codes today" it would probably raise a few eyebrows (before the sardonic laughter).
Most of the attacks I see originate from Korea. Its gotten so bad that we are finally blocking around 3 class A (CIDR/8) networks from our border routers that belong to KRNIC/KORNET/HANANET.

What's even worse is when a day later some illiterate bozo submits an article full of grammatical and spelling errors. Naturally the slashdot editors approve those.
As far as spammers go, Wayne Mansfield is one of the worst. Once he's safe in his jail cell I'm considering sending his cell-mates a generous supply of viagra and herbal penis-growth pills.
Is the notion that somehow I'm morally obligated to watch commercials or view the blinking, shouting, flashing, annoying pop-up tripe that the purveyors of net-crap spew. It's almost as if the marketing forces are trying to brainwash us into thinking we are somehow indebted to them.
I could care about the next guy; I know two things about my own personal net surfing habits that are absolute: I 'll always block this crap for as long as there are tools to do so and secondly I'll never lose a second of sleep over doing so.
How often do you have a song in your head and you can't identify the artist? Sure it happens, maybe once in a great while. To be honest when it does happen I'm usually adept enough to google lyrics, and it's as easy as that. Once in a great while an instrumental or unintelligibly enunciated song will stump me.
At 99 cents for your first 5 songs what they're really asking for $1 per hit. The other 4 songs will probably not be used (and I'll wager there's a time limit on how soon you must use the other 4 songs).
While the progenitors of this creation get points for originality I have doubt that it has real market value.
I had read (in a book on Asian culture) that sarcasm is one of the least understood Western idioms by Asian cultures. I discovered after marrying an Asian woman that, to a degree this is true--but also that after exposed to this for a while it is

I'm sure after hearing the news he threw a couch or something.
Aren't achieved through the results of studies such as these--in all fairness they're just about as impartial as the paid research M$ does.
The real win comes from the fact that we (ok, TINW) have Microsoft on the run, competing with an operating system that is free.
Because when you're Microsoft it's not enough to compete... you have to utterly destroy them in order to achieve an erection.

Both individuals will be subject to local prosecutions, the FBI said.
Here's our chance to see if public flogging and amputated fingers deter hackers.
at least until Netcraft confirms it.
... from someone that sues all their customers.
Usually I don't believe in the opt-out mechanism, but in this case I think it just might work.

Does anyone else remember Hohocon?

I believe Daryl [sic] McBride to be a most

Responding to my own post here; I didn't RTFA close enough apparantly. From what I can see participants do get a copy of the results :Z
You're free to hand over your salary data but in order to see the results from 2 years ago you have to be a member?
No thanks.
