I called a local borders to complain, and they gave me a customer care line at 1(800)566-6616 give em a call, and let them know why theyve lost your business.
I use to work for VA, and they do NOT support free software. Their a corporation and they use Linux's good name to make money. This isnt the only closed source project that they have.
...from shipping its award winning Java
virtual machine...
Gotta love pr spin.
...They spent several years suing to stop Microsoft from
shipping a high performance Java virtual machine that took advantage of
Windows. Rather than pursue a new licensing arrangement...
Forgot to mention that you were violating the license you already signed.
With all the thousands of files, and gigs of information, how are they going to run even a very small portion of the files through a filter? Wouldnt they have to drop peer to peer to do this effectivly? Or when you log on, they download every file and filter it? How are they going to be able to pull this off?
I think the problem is we need some kind of great tragedy. War, great depresion, something to show the US theres more to life than cell phones, and lap tops, cd players.

I must have misread part of the article. I thought all attacks came from one machine. My mistake:)

>As far as malicious code, it's actually pretty boring, there are at least two examples of the exploit the worm uses to propogate, but it's definitely a worm and it appears to be in the wild.
Not neccesarily. If this is a worm, then any auto-sploit program is a worm. This isnt a program that gets executed from a machine, plants itself, the moves on to other machines from there. It has a point of start. That point of start checks for a known vulnerability (i blame my spelling on my US education) then uses said known exploit to place a root kit on the system. That system is then left alone, and the program continues the port scan. Lather rinse repeat. Its a sploit.

Its a friggin exploit! Thats all. A virus/worm causes damages. A trojan is a program you run that does something malicious in the background. This does neither. It looks for an exploit, runs a script, and gives itself root access./. made a major move to being mainstream media today. It went for the sensational story, and totaly mis reported the facts.
I use to work for VA Linux, and you do NOT want to buy their products. Half of them ship DOA, they dont honor the service agreements, its amazing that place is still in business. I remember one meeting where they told us they had shipped several hundred servers out that were DOA. Were they going to tell the customers? No, let them call in, and act like its just a normal DOA box. Overpriced crap is what they sell. They should sell hardware for microsoft, its that bad. Worse than packard bell.
People who watch jerry springer, and such arnt average americans. Their low life trailer scum that have to see people who are worse than them to make themselves feel better.
1: Disconnect from any network
2: Start the install, but dont use dynamic update
3: After installation and on first boot, dont set up your internet connection when it asks. Click on next, or skip - the wizard will crash when you click next
4: Click Start/Run and type:
regsvr32.exe -u regwizc.dll
5: Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion change RegDone to -1
7: Open up Internet Exploder. Open the Tools/Internet Properties, and change your home page to something that isnt Microsoft or MSN.
8: Reboot and before windows starts up, plug in your network connection.
When I worked phone tech support, and I always tried to make a mention of Linux any chance I could get so someone would ask me what it was, and I could spam them on company time. Several times I heard someone say 'I didnt know you could use a comuter without windoze' I enlightened them:)

Ill never forget when their 2nd level tech support told me I was being port scanned so that my software would update automaticaly. I went off on him :)

I live in Tulsa, I can tell you that this is not a fake article.
They keep talking about traffic jams, QoS, etc. Isnt ipv6 suppose to fix most of this?
Is this going to be a client for a web browser, or a server to work as a proxy?

Where did you get it? I want one! I also want a bumper sticker that says 'Real men love Darwin', that should piss the cult off!
