    yeah, it will download banners and unwanted content as well if you are very very not carefull, so you might end up wasting a lot of bandwidth following irrelevant links.

    ... all mail servers should be required to use a password to send email, plus no rely (or a mail shoudl use the mailserver (i.e. sendmail daemon) where the mail account resides.

    However, hacker spammers would soon build up their own mail servers, then mail servers should have a list of trustable mail servers, then the technical level of the fight would be raised.

  4. Re:Amazing! on Why Do Google Hit Numbers Vary? · · Score: 1

    Then it might be a good idea to do "groups search" using groups theory.
    you know, like
    I want the results from the intersection of this search and that search.
    or
    "this search" - "that search", which would be the results on "this search", but not on "that search"

  5. Re:well no kidding.. on DALnet For Chatting, Not File Sharing · · Score: 1

    nice link.
    but it was another story.
    In this one, the sysadmin had managed to get his hands on one of the infected machines, and found a zombie.
    dissassembled it, read all through the irc's rfc, hacked the zombie and then infected more machines with his non-harming version of the zombie.

    then he managed to track them down.

    How did you get that?

    Once, a friend of mine passed on a link about a story of an administrator having his network (D)DoS'ed, and how he tracked down the source, through real hack of the infecting software on an infected machine that was one of the nodes attacking the network up to an irc channel.

    Great story that was! but I've lost the link.
    Well, anyway, I was just thinking it might be possible at some time to do this kind of stuff here too.
    Where is this Dalnet thing more discussed? Is Dalnet up and running with a channel with discussions on the (D)DOS going on?

    bye bye!

  8. sharing on Major Step Forward For SVG in the Desktop · · Score: 1

    I have some doubts about the state of the art today.
    when an icon is drawed, say, for the gnome menu, it creates a pixmap.
    Is that pixmap shared/memcopied for any other app/whatsoever that needs to render the same icon?

    when we do it with svg, you could also save time if you only render the icon once.

    How does gnome goes about it?

  9. want to say it once more. on Intel's Itanium 2: Succeed or Fail? · · Score: 1

    With 64 bits making its way to PC's (no matter that intel says its heading for servers only, while AMD says they will make it possible to buy by home users), in no time, 128 bits will make its way to (real) Servers. (i.e. Sun, IBM, SGI).

  13. region... on DVD: Degradable Versatile... · · Score: 1

    somebody posted a link, not the main story, but since the main story doesnt mention the region of the DVD's, i would like to add
    that if it has ANYTHING to do with the region, it REALLY REALLY sucks!

    for what i have seen, dvd's are not cheaper in Mexico than they are in the states (with the change of region, that is)
    and imported DVD's have been to raise price as much as 50%.
    Whould any of ou pay over 100 US for a special edition of tLotR?

    tapes? any other?

  14. Re:Two Completely Different Things on A Preview of Ximian's Gnome 2.0 Desktop · · Score: 2, Insightful

    and that is more tiresome than moving the mouse to the edge because...?

    Actually, that is very bothering, specially when you inadvertently start switching viewports (i.e. when moving the cursor out of the way).

    besides, you have shurtcuts to switch desktops, which is very very handy. I only wish they were a bit more independent and polished:

    I'd like to be able to have different backgrounds (and meybe even icon sets) among different desktops; and
    An application started through the run window, or a menu entry, initially display in the desktop where they started.

    I might be wrong, but so far only STEP like wm have done it. (maybe enlightenment too, but i couldnt tell).
