Very roughly, NT gets an average of 10 intrusions a day whilst Linux is on about 4. If you look at the overall OS share chart you'll see that NT has 59% over 21% of Linux. I think that makes them match up about the same.

Internic has not been hacked or spoofed. Whenever you register a nameserver IP address, you have to include a domain name for the nameserver. I think the only thing checked is that the IP address pings and the domain name is part of a real domain.
What about as you move about the airport and into the plane? You could be waiting in the departure lounge and asked to board the plane. No need to unplug the laptop as you go.
This sort of thing really comes into play when you want to fire off a quick email from your palm pilot (or watch?...)
It took me ages to figure out what Ash was saying at that part of AOD. Every time I play it, I laugh so loud the sound gets drowned out! Anyway, I think the exact quote is:
Henry: I am Henry the Red, Duke of Shale, Lord of the Northlands and leader of its peoples.
Ash: Well hello Mr.Fancy-pants. I got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things right now. Jack and shit... and Jack left town.
Does anyone have a release date for the game? The web site isn't very helpful.

In the UK mobile phone airtime is getting cheaper all the time. With Orange you can get up to 50 free minutes (off peak) every day for 15ukp/month; Vodaphone 2p/minute; and 2p/minute with Cellnet.
We're used to paying 1p a minute local rate and internet access from home anyway. Not a big jump in cost.

I dunno about this. Seems to me like a lot of people will click/execute/rm -rf *.* if you tell them to. Look at the effect on slashdot that the "This is more informative" link had. Slashdot is supposed to be an informed discussion group but you still happily clicked on a CGI script that took your cookie and posted a comment to/. in your name.
What with all the fuss over Metallica, Dr. Dre and Napster I wonder who wrote this worm? Surely a really good way to scare people off using these files sharing/copyright infringment applications would be to write a worm or two, release them and scare the general public into never sharing files with strangers again.
You're both right. The tag is allowed on/. but we should be using <EM> for accessibility reasons. I have a friend who is partially sighted and uses an audio, speach synthesis, web browser rather than visual. When the browser reads <EM> tags it adds emphasis in tone and pitch to the enclosed words. Italics do not do this.
The HTML 4.0 specification at the W3C has a sub-section on accessibility of the web for those with physical disabilities. (sorry to hark on but lack of support for disabled access to the web is a pet hate with me)
Not any more. The (im)poster was using the entity reference T, which is displayed as 'T', in their user name. At new user registration the slashcode thought that CmdrTaco != CmdrTaco and let it through as a new user. When your browser saw CmdrTaco it displayed CmdrTaco.
For some reason (I don't know why) the User Info link still sent you to the real CmdrTaco User information page.
Nice hack but they've fixed it now. Quick going, eh?

> When you have a terabyte of data to process, you have to start paying a little more attention to things like I/O.
If you stripe a terabyte of data across 4000 disks and ask them all to search for it you will find it faster than if you have a single huge disk doing the searching.

So why did they do it? Are you saying that google's tech support are all idiots?

Considering you started your argument with some statistics I'm surprised you say this. Did you read posts #178, which lists the prices, and #46, which is from a Solaris administrator?

It's supposed to be like because it is obfuscated. Have you not had your morning coffee or something?
No it's not. A google is the verb form of googly (a cricket term) - an off-breaking ball with an apparent leg-break action on the part of a right-arm bowler to a right-handed batsman, or conversely for a left-arm bowler.
A googol is 1 followed by a hundred zeros, 10^100.
A googolplex is 1 followed by a googol of zeros, 10^googol.
> And the reliability of Sun machines is far superior to that of the x86 machines - I can forsee them replacing x86 motherboards on a daily basis.
But it is a cluster of 4000 PCs which means if one goes down the whole system keeps working. If you have one big Sun and it goes down you have no redundancy and no backup. Reliability and up time for websites is make or break.
Elliptic curves are simple functions that can be drawn as gently looping lines in the (x,y) plane. They look very simple. But you get interesting patterns at the points where the curve exactly crosses integer (x,y) coordinates.
Yes it got solved by Andrew Wiles of Princeton University.
After 7 years of trying he announced a solution 1993 and a flaw was discovered in the proof. (heh-heh) Wiles had to work for another year to establish that he had solved the problem.
When he came out his dark room after 8 years the world was a very different place...

Those attrition stats are for web page defacements only. There's many a place else where security is compromisable.
There's a concon bug prevention program available to stop this.
Alternatively, install Linux and you don't need to worry about these things.
