See? Not open source. Not cool. Technology like this will be limited from evolving because of the patent. It seems everybody is making (now illegal) keyboards like these anyways. This John McKown angers me. An inventor should understand the value of the evolution of technology. Sorry if I appear angry. I am. I'm a strong belever in no-patents.
I wish people would stop critisizing anime. If you don't want it on slashdot, just use the nifty preferences page. These posts are really useless and I'm very tired of them. The posts before mine answer your question very nicely I think. The what "computer geek" means is like an unwritten law. No two geek are alike.
I wrote a custom ErrorDocument 404 cgi script (in shell script:) that detects an attack, then puts it in this log. It also adds it to
a firewall script, and sets a flag by setting a files contents to "YES". The crontab picks this up and restarts the firewall. As an added bonus, I also made it so it detects bad web bots that don't follow robots.txt.
Equipped with Longhorn, your PC will keep track of how you work, whom you talk to, what sites you look at, how you make documents and whom you share them with, which data on the network are yours--
Just what I need. A trojan named Longhorn on my system.
Half the gnutella (morpheus) servents are open source. How long do you think before a fix would come out for this DoS attack?
And wouldn't hax0rz have already tried to DoS gnutella or some other distrubuted network by now. Why is my gnutella still working perfectly? It's distrubuted. The advantage of a distrubited network is that you can't shut it down without targeting the whole network, which you can't do anyway. Anyway, if someone froze my system by DoS over gnutella, do you know what I would do? Reboot.
i dont hate Moby. i like moby. i have play and 18. i even like 18. but its not as good as play. a little math equation since i am such a geek: s1/q1=s2/q2 where s is the amount of sales and q is the quality of the cd and the subs represent different cds. make better music, get more $$$.
btw...i saw the music video for "we are all made off stars" on mtv, liked the song so much i dled the mp3, liked the mp3 so much that i bought the cd. if it wasn't for file sharing, i wouldn't have bought the cd. so personally i think you're wrong moby...
i quote: forces of good (God/a.k.a. The Force) or Evil (the literal Dark Side
every star wars geek knows this: the force has a good side (jedi) and a bad, dark side (sith). it is not the force vs dark side.
by placing the force against the dark side you are placing the dark side against itself. by saying the whole force is good, you are making all the sith dudes good. this makes no sense, katz. i demand an explanation, katz. how dare you, katz. </rant> <grumble type="postrant">grumble.</grumble>
I don't download shareware because I can only use it for 30 days or whatever. nag screens. evilness. there's a reason why I use linux. since it seems your company is nowhere close to making the source open, you might consider giving away a stripped down version of whatever software you're selling.
Yeah, I aggree.
But you gotta remember, Disney put that in for the kids, not geeks who are facinated with dead languages, explosives, or car engines. Kids like to play with dirt. Not funny at all, but I saw a bunch of kids laughing at it.

It sounds to me like he didn't figure it out, but he got all the information from his helper-person, who simply said "mix a with b and you'll get c." Since he wasn't a nucular math genious, he didn't know how much c there would be with the amounts of a and b he supplied.
I think the only thing he was clever about was that he figured out how to get all the materials he needed, which still was most likely around $200-300.
That's not gonna happen because napster will lose popularity fast if they switch to somthing dumb. Everyone has already bought MP3 players which will not descrable this evil file format you speak of.

I don't understand how this is open source.

I guess this means DDoS also. That means a lot more internet traffic.

Hey ogg actually does compress down to 0kbs when you use silence...
I'm wondering if this is a troll, or haven't you heard of any other anime besides the little kid ones?

this is just one example of a product that you won't see becoming popular because its patent restricts its creation/selling.... grrr. i hate patents.

Is this program a virus or is MSNBC saying a virus to mean "a really really bad thing to have on your computer."
It says in the article that it only effected spicific targets, while a virus will spread and effect everyone who gets the virus.
Anyways, I would classify this under Trojan Horses. Any other cracker program would work just as well.

I think most geeks don't invest stocks in ms. They're usally investing in Linux.
