Okay, lets see.. we've blamed A) Packet Monkeys, Script Kiddies, Crackers B) The Government, NSA, CIA, FBI C) Microsoft
The FBI releases some tools to detect DOS Daemons, so what do we do? *Paranoia ON* Some idiot reporter says that its the fault of Linux and that it could never happen with Windows, so what do we do? *Distrust of Microsoft ON*
So, it appears the whole thing has been orchestrated by the Microsoft-Jewish-Communist-American Government-Echelon-Media and it is the first step in a global stranglehold on free speech where Bill Gates reigns supreme.
If the cracker is smart enough to remove the traces of the intrusions, they probably aren't gonna be running your run-of-the-mill backorifice clone, rather a script/program of their own. As it wouldn't have much in common with the known ones, these tools would be useless. A good sysadmin knows whats going on with his box.
For those of you that can't listen,.

Linus Interview

(Announcer) Okay, on Line 4 we have Ted, whats your question for Linux Torvalds, Ted? (Caller) Hey Linus! so how do ya Install this Linux thingy? (Linus) I'm afraid that'd take some time to explain on the air, try www.linux.org (Announcer) Okay, next caller. Ted. (Caller) NATALIE PORTMAN! HOT GRITS! OPEN SOURCE OR DIE! *click* (Announcer) My, that was strange, okay.. this one better be good, Bill from.. Redmond.. gee thats strange isn't it, anyways your question caller (Caller) Hello Mr. Torvalds, your so called open-source movement will be crushed by my company. The benefits of Windows over Linux are numerous, in fact, our new security measure we like to call SBID (Secruity By Increased Downtime) beats anything Linux has. Prepare to be assimilated. Oh, hold on.. it appears I have a call on the other line from.. oh.. Janet Reno... hmmm.. (Announcer) Heh.. heh.. thats all the time we have tonight, tune in tommorrow night for another call-in session with Linux Torvalds, the man behind Linux.
Packet Monkeys, Script Kiddies.. are all the scourge of the Internet.. yeesh.. groups that do nothing but DoS people.. thats something to call home about.
but whats the point of trying to stop a broken dam now? i'm pretty sure the first burners didn't scare the RIAA or MPAA, but they're shitting themselves now. The whole thing of DeCSS is playback really, unless you've got a terabyte hard drive, and an OC3 wired to your house DeCSS is only useful for watching movies.

All the Infocom games were designed for a non existant Z-Machine. The idea was, if a new computer/platform came out, they wouldn't have to port the code as they would've had to if it had been developed for just one platform. Instead they created a interpreter for them. You can get a CD of all the Infocom (-3, for legal reasons) its called the Magic of Infocom or something. Then you can get an interpreter. I like Frotz, you can find it on Freshmeat and BeBits depending on your OS choice. I'm not sure where the win32 version is, but I know it exists.
Everyone should get a DeCSS t-shirt and wear it to court. That'd be really hilarious. Next thing ya know, they'd try and get people to not wear them by law.. and then go naked.. a bunch of naked nerds would probably freak em out.
Wasn't Farenheit 451 about firemen that burnt books?
Its been a while since i've read it, and thats the only thing that stands out. So, are you saying that in the near future AOL will burn down libraries? Thats kind of like the reverse of what I do, burn the 50,000 odd AOL cds and disks I recieve in the mail. AOL Canada is almost as bad.. why the hell don't they call it COL anyways..
Christ, it must be pretty bad when reporters can hack into a site.. I use the term hack loosely... very.. but these are no ordinary reporters.... why they work for MSNBC..

I have read all of those, except for 1984. I think they're pretty great books. Rama is also a great series too, i've only read Rama, and Return to Rama. There's quite a bunch more, Garden of Rama, or something.
I think it has to do more with the implementation, everyone has thought of handwriting recongnition for some time now. But if this is true, then Xerox pulled it off before Palm or Apple did.
But you'd still need a Credit Card database somewheres. So, all you've introduced is more hassle. What they should do, is beef up security, and not be so stupid as they were this time.
Another type of engine I would've like to have seen made, was a Sterling engine. I believe one manufacturer developed a car that used a Sterling engine.

US people aren't really allowed to watch it, your supposed to put your area code in to watch it.. and only Canadian area codes will work.

Whats the point of having a secure connection, and a secure Credit Card database? Those idiots should've made sure the server was secure.
