This virus doesnt even effect Acrobat, it is only spreadable by using a non-adobe product to create pdf files, and only if you integrate apps in the pdf document. I don't think people should get all that worked up about this.
I'm not saying that 1.1 GB is that big, but I am making an assumption that 1.1 GB traveled thru there email gateway just from Sircam attachments and that all of it is external. Passing 1.1 GB of mail to 1 user all coming from an external source should put up a red flag.
For the love of pete, what kind of connection do you have? I've got to assume your on a corporate lan connection, hasnt your network\email admin came over and asked you what the heck was going on yet?
I will buy this the day it comes out if it can reproduce me sounding sick instead of hung over. I can see it now, typing in my "I'm to sick to come in today" message then settign up a cron job to dial my boss's extension at work and leave my message for me while i sleep like a baby. I gotta get this
At some point the die size is gonna stop shrinking and we are going to have to start going multi processor. Any guesses on when this will start happening?
At the company that I work at, each and every person we hire must sign a disclosure saying the company has the right to read everything they email, monitor there network traffic and listen to there phone conversations. If any of these actions are taken upon an individual, it is recorded by HR. Being the network administer where I am employed, I have had to do the search and seizure of network traffic, internet and lan based and retrieval and review of serveral empolyees email. I can't say I like doing this, besides the fact it is a pain in the ass, I always find out things about my fellow co-workers i really don't care to know about. I think the way the judge is looking at giving a 72 hour timeframe with notice to the employee is a good idea, would allow people to clean up there act a bit.
I just recently wrote a company wide policy regarding the use of email. In the policy it is now mandated that when sending any information over the internet that may contain client information it must be encrypted. Each user is then audited at a random basis and checked to ensure they are following the procedure if not, termination of that employee is possible.
I have been wondering when companies with a large web presence, and with interest in online data sharing, and distribution were going to pipe in on this. This is a very far reaching precident that will be made if napster is shutdown for good. The artice mentions the BetaMax precident and I believe this case will have an equal amount of meaning for the future. The big picture of this case is not just pirating music, its about file sharing over the internet and wether it will be allowed in the future.
Is it just me or do Conferences go down hill really really fast as soon as the media starts hyping them and you get a severe influx of people that do not belong there. Look at Comdex for example, 3 years ago, it was a great place to go and actually learn about whats coming out. Last year and the year before, 99% of the people there were only there for free shirts and hats and other merchandise. I doubt I will ever go to Comdex again. I went to Defcon 6 and 7 and they were good, I just hope the media doesnt go nuts and ruin this conference like they have will all the other good ones.
I can see your point with that, I registered a domain and use it only for email purposes. The point I was trying to get at was, people registering domains and doing nothing with them at all.
Personally, I think cybersquatting and domains with trademark names not owned by those who own the trademark should be allowed. But I think there should be a stipulation that you must have a current site, updated regularly, and the site has to have something to do with the domain name, no porn on mattel.com for example. The thing I really hate is looking up a domain I would like to register seeing it is taked but no web site, or if there is a web site it says for sale.
I think these machines are simply awesome, but you have to wonder how many of these really gets sold? Yesterday Ascii white was announced to be sold to the public and now we see this bad boy. Does anyone have a link or figures on how many of these sell? How long does a company keep a supercomputer after buying one? The specs are impressive and so is the price tag, but do many companies, or countries buy these?
This was posted on both the palm and handspring original post, but here it is again. How does an OS patch fix a hardware problem? Do they just tell it not to use that part of the memory, in effect giving you less than you paid for? I assume RMA's are still available?
I was kinda suprised at the benchmarks of Solaris, I kinda expected more. It doesnt really suprise me that linux kicked its can at most things but figured it would be right in there most of the other OS's
I don't know about anyone else, but I still like hard copies. I like to highlight my training manuals and user manuals. I like the fact that I can earmark a page in my favorite novel and immediatly flip to that page. Reading for long periods of time on a computer monitor usually starts giving me a headache and i get sick of it really fast. I think this distribution method won't take off because of those facts. And for $1 a chapter thats prett steep, your average paperback is like $5.95 or so. If a book has 30 or 40 chapters thats more than you would pay for a hardcover.
Anyone else ever wonder why they just dont take cases like this directly to the highest court possible? I just think that big cases like this would get over with so much faster. You know who ever looses is gonna appeal the case, might as well just cut out the middle man.
I wish this was designed to do the OGR or RC5 stuff on distributed.net. I would buy atleast one probably more if it worked well. How hard would one of these be to reprogram to do distributed.net stuff?
I've been reading all the [H]ard OCP stuff, my second favorite site besides slashdot and this whole thing is a big soap opera, they could sell the right to the story to a network channel and make it a prime time show.
I have come to the realization that anything I do online isnt really private. Your ISP can intercept your email. People can sniff packets if your on a LAN. I use PGP if I really feel the need but, thats maybe once a month. Phone calls are still fairly safe but who knows if your tapped. If people are really all the worried get in your car and meet someone in a park or somewere private and have a conversation.

According to the bill you can sue for 500$ for each piece of spam you get. Wow, I'm sure there are ISP's that get thousands to millions of pieces of unwanted spam mail everyday. That adds up to alot of cash. The person getting the spam does have to ask the spammer to stop before they can sue but i can see some of the bigger isp's going to town on this issue
Even though I'm not a big Mac fan, the apple kind not the mcdonalds kind. I think this mouse is kinda the next evolution of pointing device, where there are not specific buttons, and its adjustable to where you wanna press. I might just have to buy a new mac to try this thing out.
Tenchi is among my favorite anime series, but they'll definitely have to edit it for TV since there is the occasional nude scene.
What is with this country? we can't even show nude cartoons on tv, I don't understand why we can't show nude people on prime time. Is it really bad for children to see nudity? I think not, I've been to several European countries where they have nude gameshows on primetime, I don't think it warps the minds of children.
Have you considered getting 2 routers with VPN built in? being a small company here we use a cheap easy to setup product that is a firewall\router all in one. The current model we are using is the WebRamp 700s. Were small and it works well for us. http://www.webramp.com
Basically all these people have done is make a list of the parts of trojans, virii, hacks, that work the best and list some thoughts and figures on what they could do if someone actually spent some time to do a good distribution of a virus using IRC, FTP and user ignorance and then exploit the user ignorance factor to get it to spread like wild fire. It was a good read but not really news, I agree with the post, most any/. reader could come up with the same if they spent a couple minutes thinking about it.

If they are savvy enough to use Linux they should be savvy enough to use a real ISP.
