Yahoo story Check for yourselves SCO Experiences Distributed Denial of Service Attack Wednesday December 10, 3:19 pm ET Syn Attack Halts Availability to SCO's Internal Operations
# LINDON, Utah, Dec. 10/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The SCO Group, Inc., (Nasdaq: SCOX - News) the owner of the UNIX operating system, today confirmed that on Wednesday, December 10, 2003 at approximately 4:20 a.m. Mountain Time, it experienced a large scale distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. The attack caused the company's Web site (www.sco.com) and corporate operational traffic to be unavailable during the morning hours including e-mail, the company intranet, and customer support operations. The company's Web site remains unavailable while this DDoS attack continues to take place. The company is working with its Internet Service Provider to restore www.sco.com to legitimate Internet users.(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19990421/SCOLO GO )
This specific type of DDoS attack, called a "syn attack," took place when several thousand servers were compromised by an unknown person to overload SCO's Web site with illegitimate Web site requests. The flood of traffic by these illegitimate requests caused the company's ISP's Internet bandwidth to be consumed so the Web site was inaccessible to any other legitimate Web user.
"SCO is working with law enforcement officials and gathering information through mechanisms that we have in place to help us identify the origin of these attacks," said company spokesperson, Blake Stowell. "We deplore these activities by those who try to intimidate or harass legitimate businesses through cyber terrorist tactics while hiding their true identity."
I guess that most european newspapers brought this story. If you wish to read reliable news from a European perspective, have a look at The independent .
The steepness of this pyramid is a matter of choice. In many northern Europe we have a high tax rate ( pay around 45%). On the other hand any unemployed person can get get 300$-500$ a month from the state. We did not kill millions to attain this:)
Most slashdot posters a slightly clueless when it comes to nano tech.
Try searching the web for
Scanning tunneling microscope . This will give you an idea what a real nano tech product looks like.
If information technology caused a sharp upward leap in the skill- and education requirements of the labor force that has caused a large chunk of our upward leap in income inequality, is not nanotechnology likely to do the same? And is not the pace of economic growth--the spread and use of nanotechnology-generated materials--likely to be constrained by a shortage of the highly educated and skilled materials technicians and programmers that we will need?
I believe that the answer is no
Most people in the IT industry have the job of creating custom solutions for specific customers.
The tasks range from the very difficult to the very simple, and therefore the IT industry can employ a work force with a very diverse skill level.
In this respect the so called nano tech industry is very different. The development of a high tech product is very expensive, snd therefore each company has to focus on a small set of products. On the other hand they can sell each product to a wide range of customers. This calls for a small but specialized work force.In conclusion nano tech
will not employ the same number of workers with lesser skill.
However the whole idea is much more easy to understand from an energy perspective. A ram chip with data has a certain potential energy. When the data is deleted. This potential energy is converted into heat. The reversible computer is able to convert some of the potential energy into usable power. This way it produces less heat.
The ideal system would be a free-text search of all the books in the catalogue. But until we can do that, keywords and searchable abstracts are more useful than categories. Just put the damn books on the shelf in order of author
Where I come from most libraries have a free text search system for finding the books, and I guess that your local library has it too.
But they still need a system for placing the books on the shelves. This is where Dewey comes in handy.
There are no specifications on the program that they wish to make. There are no descriptions of how they wish to do it. Basically this everything is hot air.
A year ago there was a lot of talk about Debian losing
mindshare . Nowadays I see a Debian story on slashdot every month. Usually most of the posts are complaints about the installer or the age of the packages in tthe stable distribution, but at least I can feel assured that my favorite distribution will not be forgotten in a near future.
Hmm... There is also a fair chance that the virus writer has been reading slashdot. In the last many years each story about internet worm has been followed by a thread mentioning the possibility of a white hat worm.
Personally I just hope the author will be found and punished.
Recently there was a thread on debian-legal. Apparently Debian community consideres the emacs manuals to be non free . The entire thread is an interesting read.
It's been a while since I had German in School, so Google does a better job than me:)

I read something on one of the pages that Debian team does not feel obliged to provide securiry patches for stable. However it seems that they often do it anyway.
How many percent of the security bugs are only corrected in stable but not in testing?

Risk is fairly old, but of course it was not the first board game: history of risk

It would be nice to have a search feature in xconfig. As a start they could restrict the searches to module names.
I believe that the authors of mplayer kindly asked distromakers not to include a crippled version of mplayer . This is why you do not find mplayer in Debian.
