Ok, so someone else in the Open Source community is using FireBird as part of its products name, big deal!!! C'mon guys get over this bickering like little children and grow up.
Thank heavens they made the call to try and put forth a much more professional boycott regime.
I think this is a poorly written article, and it doesn't nearly go in to the subject at the depths it should.
I would like to know in what sort of area did they set up these WLAN honeypots? I'm going to assume it was probably in a large meteropolitan area. Also, I would like to know how the hackers so easily found the WLANs mail server once inside the network. There are a bunch of questions this article leaves unanswered in my mind. I would like to see them report more information than what they did.
As a previous poster said, take this with a grain of salt (or salt lick).
I mean you can't really complain, he is creating jobs, and running fiber. But in all honesty, are businesses in that downtown grid a) all going to want to pay for his G-Net networking services and b) if they do buy it, is it going to make a serious difference that its going to turn the whole city around, and make it become a thriving city once again?
I can't imagine a high-speed and high tech networking technology turning a whole downtown city around.
I eventually got dragged into mainframe work which was a new low for me. Believe it or not, my company has network operations and mainframe operations grouped together. I was more into learning the network operations side of things, but unfortunately I had to learn all the mainframe stuff to. I'm not extremely intelligent with the mainframe side of things, but my company didn't set it up as a learning environment.
I can see mainframes becoming a thing of the past, because all the jcl programmers (vse mainframe, I think they were IBM AS/300 mainframes), never taught us anything, we were taught to be trained monkies and just know how and when to run certain jobs. As much "extracurricular" work I put into learning about VSE I was still unable to learn fully about the JCLs that were company specific. I think all the current mainframe programmers are pretty secure in their job holdings, but at least in my company, they weren't continuing to educate us younger crowd on how to program, etc.
Bottomline is, mainframe operator work alone is probably one of the most god-awful jobs, they don't have to pay you much, because you don't necessarily have to be computer-literate, you just need to learn commands and keystrokes, the work is tedious, because you have to monitor CPU usage, and monitor jobs that can run along one another.
But as I said,, that is my own personal experience and my companies situation, YMMV.
I have never thought of FTP as a crumbling legacy protocol full of security holes. Each protocol has its flaws, security flaws or not. HTTP isn't free from security holes.
They are two different protocols designed for two different purposes. If you plan on transfering large amounts of data, and want it to be more reliable, I would most definetely recomment FTP. FTP is made for transferring files, and that is what it is best at doing.
If you are not concearned with data integrity and plan on transferring decent sized files, I would wish you the best of luck with HTTP.
As far as security holes go? I have no idea, but I imagine both protocols have had their fair share of security issues.
For more reliable transfer of larger files, I would really recommend FTP.
This is a very momentous step towards hybrid vehicles. I also suppose that this is also defining where we are going exactly with hybrid vehicles too. Its looking like the car companies are going to the gas/electric as opposed to hydrogen and other methods, or maybe someday it will evolve into different kinds of hybrid vehicles.
We'll have to see if Toyota stays true to this oath. It will be awesome if they do, other manufacturers will surely follow.
Do people forget about update/upgradepkg, pkgtool or the sorts? As far as I'm concerned that is plenty package management that is installed on a Slackware system.
Although the package management isn't nearly as strong as apt or rpm (which I might add can be added to any system), it is package management.

Currently, if someone told me that someone could use a seachshell to retrieve data I would tell that person that he is fsking stupid.
I didn't even realize that space programs in US or Russia were even using space capsules as opposed to shuttles anymore.
I bet they are a crapload less comfortable than space shuttles.

What a mind-fart I just had, Yes, I was working on S/390s, not AS/300s. Anyways.

Did anyone else immediately think about the opening credit to Futurama as soon as you read this article.
You can't really deny that, I think it is the travel method of the future (so says Futurama).
