randomization attacks? If someone needs a password reset, it goes to their e-mail account. Then just require them to change it as soon as they come back.
I'm still waiting for a discman that can play data cds. But wait, they're already out. Ok, now I'm just waiting for a quality one (so far, the reviews haven't been so good).
Has anyone tried the Philips eXpanium yet? Will PineUSA ever start selling their D'Music SM-200C?
I've already started ripping my cds to my BookPC jukebox. Its a legitimate use. And so what if I want to take my music with me. Its still my music. I just happen to be able to fit 16 cds onto one, which means less for me to lug around.
I made one using BookPC and a 27 GB hard drive. Now I just have to figure out how to get linux to output to the video-out instead of the monitor port. It has the infrared keyboard (with built in eraser mouse), a DVD drive, Celeron 566 using the i810 chipset. Its the size of a telephone book and works great.
My sentiments exactly. This is one of the reasons I stopped using Netscape altogether and started using IE. I don't need all those other pieces bonded to my web browser. Once again its feature creep and bloatware. I liked it much better back when Netscape meant only Netscape Navigator, not Composer, Messenger and a browser. IMHO, the browser should be their only focus for now. Once that is completely done, come out with Messenger that can be downloaded separately but integrates easily into it.
You didn't mention that this place used to be a motel. It was bought from the same guy who owns the Washington Wizards. Ok, so my dad was one of the people that helped negotiate for the government. Lots of good tidbits there.
I plan on going to the gift shop and buy a secret decoder ring.
Why don't we get some racks of these hooked up to the internet backbone providers? I think all ISPs should be required to have some of these. Can we get a law from the FCC on that? Mandatory SETI support!
Ok, so I'm not about to run out and buy a card just to support SETI. My electricity bill is high enough already.
Ok, so Bruce's typical roles definitely involve humour. Besides Army of Darkness and Brisco County, he had a re-occuring role in Xena and Hercules http://us.imdb.com/Name?Campbell,+Bruce+(I) among many many other roles. I can imagine Mulder saying "Hail to the king baby" in X-Files, but I can't imaging Bruce doing it there, he's too... funny.
Thats why some people have separate upload and download directories. I prefer to verify what I've downloaded isn't crap before I allow it out into the wild.
And of course there was a rumor of a Linux box acting as a router that got hacked a few years later. Telnetting from the dorms is nice... but still insecure.
Some of the unix boxes had logins restricted to certain IPs within the university community. All that meant was telnetting to one server and then telnetting over to the other. And of course rlogin was disabled. That admin obviously knew something about security, but still left open the insecure protocols.
True. But there are a lot more ftp clients out there for windows users. How many of the popular programs support sftp? Its one thing to set up the protocol on the server, another to get all the clients to use it. Now if Microsoft and Apple start shipping ssh and sftp, it would certainly help.
Ok, I can understand dumping telnet for ssh. I've personally witnessed someone using a sniffer to watch e-mail being written. As for FTP... it is very useful for shuffling data around. Many websites also have FTP, so that you can upload your homepages.
As it is, there are enough component shortages out there to drive up the prices more. Perhaps Rambus and Intel are working together on this to slow down sales so that Intel doesn't look so foolish for not making enough chips. And with all the problems of memory translation, this will encourage even more companies to switch over.
Of course people can now argue over who should take credit for these ideas. Just because you post it first doesn't mean you thought of it first. This could also lead to flame wars over "you're so stupid."
As reported by The Register, here, there's nothing new about the video trojan. "We now know that the video Trojan, which NETSEC dubbed 'Serbian Badman' (ooohh, how scary that sounds), is actually known by the tragically prosaic name 'Downloader' (aka Backdoor.ldr; Downloader.Kit; Trojan.Win32.Loder.WPW; W95/Loader; and WWWPW).
It works by fetching, downloading and silently running another, and quite familiar, Trojan called 'Sub7', which consists of a remote server enabling a third party to control an infected computer.
We are terribly disappointed to report that the Sub7 server is not capable of launching DDoS attacks, unless it has been updated radically since the last time we, em, 'evaluated' it. "
This seems to have been a publicity stunt by a company called NETSEC.
I'll start with the bad: Lars seems to think that MP3 is a perfect copy. Although he agrees that CDs are too expensive (hence the wide interest in MP3s), he has no plans for distribution over the internet (which he agrees would be cheaper). For Metallica, Napster is just the first step. They think that after that, they will go after other things such as Gnutella, especially when they IPO. Well, since AOL disowned Gnutella, there is no link to any "funding."
One great point is that downloading stuff from the internet is a privilege and not a right. He's not against the idea of Napster in general ("So you can't sit there and say 'I think Napster doesn't have a right to exist,' because there are people who want to use a service like Napster"), he just doesn't want copyrights, etc. being trampled on. People tout Napster and MP3.com for their ability to let "new" bands distribute their songs hoping to make it big. How many of these bands will really take off without the promotion of the record companies?

Sue them for slamming. Teach them that its not acceptable at all. Actually, tell your local Public Utilities Commision what has been going on.
I work for Verizon. We're not all bad.

So just crack it and don't tell them. Then as soon as they release it, you can have a nice package for every platform ready to go.
And for extra credit, use your tivo to do it.
Articles about Gnutella not scaling are already posted here which refers to an article here. The problem has been acknowledged. Code on.

oooooo shiny.

And I'm sure there's a lot more.
The upshot is that all new Macs will come with an optical mouse.
Too bad it doesn't look ergonomic.
Plus, I want a wheel and another couple of buttons.
Overall... its better than the hockey puck. Now all I need is someone to convince me to use a Mac instead of Windoze or Linux

And the answer is: they were using Pine.

So will this speed up the release of the movie?
