i dont agree. think of websites like amihotornot.com. it amazes me that a group of guys can sit in front of a monitor clicking through random jpegs of people, and in unison chat the same integer value 1 to 10 almost 80% of the time. And if it's not the same number all around, then it's just off by 1. Shallow? I'm not making that point. Point I'm making is that somehow the human ratbrain finds it REALLY EASY to determine how good looking someone is, and it's very consistant between different people. And I'd think a lot of geeks already have all the practice they need...
i do something like that in really congested traffic. like, 15 mph on the interstate. i'll go 14. i'll end up with 500 feet clear in front of me, and people in the left lane will splash back into the buffer in front of me. i never hit the breaks once. it takes about 8 seconds to cover the buffer space to catch up, and sure enough the person behind me is always absolutely livid that i decided to let a space build up. and most of the time, they cut the person off to the left of me, cut close to me, flip me off in the mirror, peel out, and dart ahead. oy ve
I personally can't wait for scared, ignorant people afraid of their machines to pick up petty threats towards the clueful youth like "You better not be putting any hacker programs on my Pee-cee or I'll be turning you in for my bounty!"
No, the real question is, do the virus writers employed over at McAfee make MORE or LESS than the 250k in the same duration of time as it would take for them to find a new job!
if linux goes back to the popularity it had in 1999ish, all the "1337 5cr1pt k1d5" will be happy again because their personal identity, defined through their computer's operating system, will be closer to unique once again! (speaking as someone who was one of these people back in 1999, and had a wise unix guru tell me why i was being a dumb kid, and helped me grow up by losing that attitude and demonstrating linux advocacy where appropriate, and avoiding it where not)
I wonder why google doesnt parse the page for redirects, and drop the rank if the page does? You know, I bet that might be in the next version of google. I almost always search for 4 to 8 word strings, enclosed in quotation marks, and I've actually been landing on trap sites with those. That's scary! But their weakness is they all do a redirect. Why couldnt google preparse the pages to see if the text and background colors are the same, or close? Those pages should get dropped too. Google does rule, look through my post history to see how much I rant about them. But, they are getting worse, a little. But they can catch up.
you know, google is the first thing on the internet (not just the web) that i think has actually changed my life is some way. i use google probably 30 to 40 times on a regular business day, searching for certain strings and letting it do the hard part for me. if i didnt have google, or anything exactly like it or better, i would be really grumpy for a very long time. if google ever sold out and became a crap factory, it'd be a dark day on the intarweb. fortunately i didnt get the vibe that's about to happen from the nyt article.
Every time someone puts their sig in the comment itself, I feel like I've just been spammed. The only additional moderation tag I've ever whined for has been a -1, Spam moderation.
I remember reading about spamford on inet-access back in the 97-98 era here at work doing dialup tech support. And now I live 6 miles from him in a bee-line.

I am using 1.7RC1. I'm using it for just one feature -- SecServerSignature. Lets you change the reported server type. I changed mine to Microsoft-IIS/2.0. In my built in status handler that shows me all the hits as they're being served live, I almost always have one request in there that is trying to send a buffer overflow to default.ida. That behavior changed the same day I flipped my reported server type over. Always amazes me how little time it takes!
My most catastrophic data loss so far occured 3 weeks ago. I plugged a new drive into a hot swap raid chassis. It would have been good if it had been the chassis with no data. Instead, I plugged it into the one with our accounting data, and the SCSI BIOS flipped out and lost all my data. PHBs, protect your data. Sysadmins, protect yourselfs. Advocate the distribution of free coffee within your office... before it's too late.
I'm on day 4 of my first hardware RAID0. I'm not going back into that RAID BIOS until the thing dies. When that happens, I'm going to take the dead disk out, the working disk out, and toss both. (then drive to best buy all pissed off that I'm about to drop 200 bucks on two new drives and spend my whole night looking for 8 month old backups)
6) Why does verisign have the right to the wildcard, surely this is a valuable commonity and should have been sold off to the highest bidder?
I dont think it should ever have the chance to be sold off to anyone, nor should it exist as an option period.
It's like if the local phone company hooked all the wrong numbers into the switch admin's cousin Vinny --
*dials wrong number* *answers* "Hey talk to me" "Hi, is this Armstrong Plumbing?" "UGh.. yeah I can do plumbing." "Ah ok. Can I make an appointment?" "Yeah lemme find a napkin or something to write on" "What time can I expect you?" "Well my ma gets home at three so I can grab her car after that"

Actually it kinda makes you sound like one!

yeah, but they'll only have the copy on their machine for 2 hours after it gets finished downloading...

no... no he said that had nothing to do with unix.
what's wrong with the word 'guru'? i didnt go to school, and how come being flamed by an anonymous slashdotter makes me the dork?

Ah crap. Well I guess I can finally get rid of all these "1337 M3" t-shirts too, then.

Gat0r is spyware. Ha ha! Can't get me! Fooled you! Neener neener neener! ... *sigh* it's so lonely in my parent's basement. *sniff*
I'd run openBSD if they would release a version of Gator for it.
the frequency increased tenfold. (ish)
