  1. Re:Malware on Oracle Could Reap $1 Million For Sun.com Domain · · Score: 1

    There is probably tons of software that points at sun.com, automatically downloading software...

    Oh God, it's like a black hat's wet dream. Thousands of machines requesting binaries from your server every second and then blinding running them.



    On a more seriously note, sun.com is already gone, but my Java updates are still working fine, so I'd assume their update server isn't located at sun.com. Not to mention Java updates are probably cryptographically signed.

    People writing this law belong in a mental institution.

    In this overly politically correct society, we use the euphemism "church".

  6. Re:This could be good on Russia's VimpelCom Buys Wind Mobile In Canada · · Score: 1

    Since everything from T-moible works on Wind, I'd say their selection is pretty damn good. Much better than what the big 3 offers anyways.

  7. CRTC = Bell + Telus + Rogers on Russia's VimpelCom Buys Wind Mobile In Canada · · Score: 1

    Expect a lot of scrutiny from the CRTC, Bell, Telus, and Rogers.

    Quite a bit of redundancy in that statement, considering that CRTC is basically the law making arm of the latter three. The vice-chairman of CRTC used to a VP at Rogers for 15 years.

    Exactly. I've been saying that iProducts are weapons of mass extinction events for years, but people just wouldn't listen.

    And just an announcement for development plan? Why not announce when something has been actually done?

    Because it's a great source of memes. Just look at GNU Hurd, it's like our very own Duke Nukem Forever.

    The judiciary branch of the government is always part of the government. No exceptions. I'm tired of people thinking the courts are somehow above the law and above the democratic process.

    You've got it the other way around, pal. BoA knew the leak was coming so they countered with DDOS attacks. But since it wasn't enough they had to drop nuclear depth charges down the fault lines.

    From the last email:

    Hi Peggy,
    I'm just a little concerned about the impact this has on the department and company. Why are we removing all record of this error? We have told Denise Cahen, and there is always going to be the paper trail when one of these sent documents come back, this to me, seems to be a huge red flag for the auditors: example: a scanned document that was mailed to us asking why the letter was received when the letter, albeit erroneous ( this being the letters that went out in error ) the auditor sees the erroneous letter but no SOR trail or scanned doc on the corrected letter is in the SOR and scanned in). What am I missing? This just doesn't seem right to me.

    I don't understand the lingo so much of it is lost to me. However it does seem that at least one person was aware that illegal acts are being committed. Can someone who work in the industry explain some of the the terminology (DTN, Tracksource/Rembrandt,SOR)?

    Their research claims that a tsunami destroyed a city that was 60 miles inland, while the recent tsunami only reached as far as 6 miles inland. It's obvious that their archaeological site didn't have anything to do with tsunamis.

    I don't doubt the validity of their research. I just question whether it has anything to do with tsunamis at all.
