  5. New Code Red II Variant Reported on Linux Is 10 Today · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My slashdot story was rejected.

    look here ==> http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/169297.html

    "The new variant, which has initially been dubbed CodeRed.d, is nearly identical to its predecessor except for two minor pieces of code, according to Roger Thompson, head of malicious code research at TruSecure Corp.

    The new worm has replaced a fragment of code known as an "atom" that was unique to the earlier version, the string "CodeRedII," with a series of underscore characters. In addition, the byte at offset 07C5 is changed from a 0 to an FF, according to Thompson, who announced the discovery today on a number of security mailing lists.

    The minor tweaks in CodeRed.d appear to be a deliberate attempt to evade poorly designed intrusion detection systems or anti-virus software that is merely looking for the "CodeRedII" string, according to Thompson. "

    A co-worker told me that early on [perhaps Plato => 18th century, don't know] a 'course' at a University was a professor's 'work in progress' i.e. his next book.

    Once he wrote the book, the course was never taught by him again.

    Kind of the inverse of today.

  11. wouldn't it be funny on Convicted by the Movie Cops · · Score: 1

    I have two jobs to fill
    1) short hours, high pay, fixing strippers G-strings.
    2) Long hours, low pay, fixing urinals in strip clubs.

    I bet there will be a lot of openings for job #2, making it look like that's where the future is.

  13. good show, old man on The New Athlons · · Score: 1

    What we have here is someone new to trolling. See how lame a comment he makes? Now, he'll crawl back into his hole and think about this for a while before emerging and trying again elsewhere.

    This has been Bill Axelrod on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Troll Kingdom.

  18. you need a little creative push on How Can I Make More Of My Cubicle? · · Score: 1
    Like Christine Pullara does on Treasure Makers It's a wacky show.

    Conventions are turned into inventions, as an old window grate becomes a unique centerpiece or a wagon wheel is transformed into a fine shabby-chic chandelier. Host Christine Pullara shows how to snoop in flea markets and salvage yards, burrow through basements and attics, and turn trash into decorating treasure.

    1) Turn old printouts into "high-tech" wallpaper.

    2) Glue old broken DAT tapes to AOL coasters [boy-girl-boy-girl] and volia', a desktop letter holder !

    3) Old hard drives make great bookends !

    4) And a whiteboard, supported by discarded 286s, makes a nice partition for when you get a partner in your 10'x10' cube....

  19. well .... on Yahoo And Porn: A commentary · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I don't think Yahoo did it to raise "...the moral principles of our society as a whole."

    how do you tell the truth out of a basket full of lies?

    don't I need to become an expert in order to do this?

    doesn't this defeat the purpose of news?

    the problem is too much news that doesn't matter, and fewer 'issues' which require concentration longer than a music video.
