What is ShareZilla?
ShareZilla is a quick, cheap, and easy way to promote your products, services and web-sites across the latest and greatest
thing on the Internet: Gnutella. ShareZilla intercepts every Gnutella search that comes across its network horizon and
re-transmits an ad back to the person originating the request. In addition, ShareZilla can transmit an MP3 file (if that's what
the user is requesting), or it can transmit a Movie, Text, HTML, VS, etc.
When the search originator sends out a request like:
"Strawberry Rhubarb Pie"
ShareZilla will return a string like this:
"WWW.FlatPlanet.Net - Strawberry Rhubarb Pie.mp3"
This is very useful if you're on the web to make money. If you're not on the web to make money, this is just a really neat
way of finding out about the latest commercial press release about Strawberry Rhubarb Pie.
What is Stealth Mode?
While running in stealth mode ShareZilla responds to search requests with a advertisement string, instead of a file. Since the
viewer of the ad does not need to download any files (or viruses) to their system to get your ad across, ShareZilla takes
the opportunity to scramble its home IP address and other identifiying data that would otherwise be necessary to download
a file, or find out who and where you are.
Since the response to the search does not include any return address, ShareZilla uses Gnutella Net's natural anonimity to
keep your home IP address from being discovered. This way you don't have to wory about any number of hack attacks,
which can only be done once the hacker knows your home IP.
This happens to me every now and then. However I think that it's a lack of motivation.
All I need to do is really give myself a kick and put my head down and work. After I do that I normally solve the problem in a day or two.
Another thing I do is just start coding. Even if I don't know how to fix a problem I find that if I just start writing code it gets my brain working. On the down side I normally have to scrap what I have just written...
This reminds me of anti-radiation cases that I was in a news article. Apparantly they where withdrawn because all they did was cause the phone to boost it's signal because the covers partially blocked it.
I agree, while this isn't going to make my life any easier it's upto the programmer to simply not use non standard design elements.
I can remember the early days when netscape was the only browser. More often then not they met the standards then added extra features that where always then included in the next set of standards. Microsoft is just doing the same.
I am Australian myself and I agree with you about the benefits of quotas to the local industry.
However with this and other similar laws that Australia legislators are considering I have to ask myself who their technical advisors are. I wonder if they are aware of the technical issues that are involved in blocking internet content. Unless we go the way of Singapore with 3 large proxy servers for the whole country then is type of law will not work.
If all else fails I can always dial an ISP in New Zealand for my internet access.
Even though I am a programmer by nature I while ago I did some charity as a sysadmin.
One of my family members helps out at a toy library for handicap children (the more young handicap children play the more they develop as they grow) that provides toys for families that have handicap children and little money. They have a computer network that they could never keep running. I started going in once a week and got it stable.
I'm not sure how much programming work there is out there but there is certainly alot of admin and teaching work that can be done.
I would like to see how they will value the damage. It seems to me that every time there is a cracked machine on the web the damage bill seems to run into millions.
For example while the "I love you" virus pissed alot of people off and caused more then a few email servers to crawl to a holt, I think the estimate of 5 Billion dollars of damage was a little overstated.
After all how do you factor in Brand name damage, future loss revenue from deterred surfers and knock on advertising revenue effects when assessing a claim. No doubt most companies will pick a random figure and multiply it by 10.
I will be interested to read about the first claim.
The blue LEP only has a life span of 1000hrs however the manufactors believe that this is long enough as most mobile phones only have their displays used for 200hrs.
The problem is that is todays mobile phones. How useful is this going to be when mobiles are started to be used in a big way for WAP and calendering. I know my palm has had alot more than 1000hrs of use and I see my future phone largly replacing my palm.
You are not far off. Finland is actually the Swedish name for the country. As pretty much all Fins speak Swedish you won't offend them by calling in Finland.
Although they do prefer Suomi.
Don't you love being in a hard to staff industry

Boo No More

· Score: 2
But some of boo's highly-qualified workers are likely to find work soon. Recruitment agents were seen handing out cards to staff leaving the building.
I hope that the managers and sales staff have as much luck.
The reason this has such lasting ramifications is because very few of these sites make a profit. As a result they rely on venture capital to keep going. A major player such as boo (their brand recognition in Europe was excellent) collasping is bound to scare of investors.
This could hurt alot of startups. Somehow boo went through $135m in one year. For more details check out ft.com they have a very good article on it.
I believe that you will find that the atoll in question is a made of a young corel base rock. This is basically a porous rock that is prone to seeping. I believe the main factor in this decision was that it was the furtherist French controlled land from Europe.
Surely a land based test in geographically old and stable rock would have been the best answer. For example how about in a granite rich region in the center of France? That would prove to me that the French government truly belives that these tests are safe and that there will be no leakage. If this is not an acceptable answer then why hold the tests?
It is a sad state of affairs to detonate a weapon on a pristine planet just to prove a point. However I do think it is better then some other explosions that have taken place.
For example I prefer this to the French alternative of the South Pacific. They don't even have the excuse of the cold war anymore to hide behind anymore.
Slashdot Mirror
They have now ported this, the domino server and the notes client.
Now if they would just port over SmartSuite then we would have an office suite as good as microsoft that corportate management already know and use.

That was one of my favorite episodes and I'm Australian!

Anyone want a free trip or Australia? Just send some streaming media there, and they'll haul you off to Australia for a trial.
Just like the old days!

There is a Russian saying "Fraud is a tax on the stupid".
But I only post the articles honest...
Not to mention that there must be some thrill in clicking one mouse button and sending one email and then seeing your work on CNN the next day.

I would be interested to know if they have yet decided:
1. Where they are going to point it, do they have a final destination for it (not that there is much within it's range).
2. What instruments are going to be on it.
