Again...can't be just start posting a weekly news post on/. to the affect of "Somewhere, someone created another virus for Windows?" Wouldn't that be equally effective, and still truthful?
Not that you were actually saying/. *shouldn't* post articles about new worm/viruses, but I for one hope the editors continue to do so.
Quite a simple reason really, I'm too lazy/busy to check anti-virus sites to get a heads up on what's happening, but I do read/. almost religiously:)
software products to make your life on a computer easier and more efficient. by secretly spying on your spouse, kids and employees. Oh, sorry, record, my bad.

My heart bleeds, really. Prices here have topped 80p/litre. Taking into account the weird ass american gallon, that's about 3.04/gallon, or $5.44/gallon! Some of the fuels with extra go (higher RON, etc), are up to 87-89/litre, I'll let you do the maths.
Currently I drive a smallish turbo diesel, and easily get over 40mpg on my 30+mile roundtrip commute, but will be fixing my 2.7 V6 soon and running it on LPG. With the conversion from automatic to manual, and LPG it should provide about the cost/mile, and with a top speed the best part of 150:)
You can hope until the cows come home my friend. But Service Pack or not, update or not, these problems aren't going to go away.
A person can be smart, intelligent, and logical. People are stupid.
For exploits like this it's mom and pop who are the biggest problem, and they are highly unlikely to even know what Windows is! Let alone give the slightest thought to computer security.
Until we have some cataclysmic event, and humanity has to start over, Microsoft will be the bane of the internet:)
Doesn't matter what the list admin does to the web archives created, it won't stop other people creating web archives. Many people on the gentoo lists have complained about getting bararged by spam and viruses soon after signing up and posting, yet Gentoo don't create any web archive!
I also run a mailserver, but for a company of 50ish, over a dozen or so domains. At first I converted it from exim to qmail with qmail-scanner, then replaced qmail-smtpd with qpsmtpd. As we already have licencing for f-prot I used that, but it soon failed to pick up a variant of Swen. So I simple added the clamav plugin and stopped the variant (gibe) dead.
I probably should build some stats on which scanner detects what, but we've only had a few netsky variants before one or the other updated. With at least the first and second netsky variants it was f-prot which updated first.
My 9210 can do all that, in one neat package. You've got a excellent colour screen, full keyboard, pop/imap mail client, calendar, etc.
When I last looked, admitedly a long time ago, the only ssh client I could find was the commercial one from ssh.com. There is an ass load of software available via Nokia too.
The only major draw back is the lack of GPRS, but HSCSD is good enough for ssh.
OK, so it's a big phone, but when it's in it's holder and on my belt I don't notice it. There is no weight to it at all.
I keep upto date with KDE from CVS (using Gentoo's excellent KDE CVS ebuilds) and noted, along with the large number of changes, that in the last week or so the default splash screen has been changed to the group photo. It's nice an' all, but could we have it changed back please?:)
Just like the 2 guys on the left I was also like "whoa, there's a girl here. how'd she get in?!?! *stares*" (mrgreenfur).
Kudos to the KDE Developers too, some good work going on.
My home town has one of the very few chicken shit power plants (no, that's not some curse, it really is powered by burning chicken shit). I don't know if they do tours, but I'm down that way next week, and this article has inspired me so I may go find out.
Oh, this snippet of amazingly (un)interesting news is kinda moot, as I come from Thetford, in Norfolk, on the other side of the pond, England.
To collect data, a client program executes in conjunction with a web browser on each of multiple users' computers. Each client program identifies pages viewed by the user and transmits the sequence of identifications to a server application executing on a recommendation system. 8. The system as in claim 1, wherein the client component is a browser plug-in.
WTF is that all about?!
TBH I really don't see any problem here, anyway. If the system gets it wrong, never mind ignore it (we all ignore banner ads don't we?). If it gets it right, woo you've seen something else you want!
Reading the original article again, I still can't see the problem. Amazon don't have transaction history to base reccomendations on, so they'll use viewing history instead, errr and ?
PHOEBE is, of course, not intended for use on mission critical or other production systems.
s/PHOEBE/RedHat/
No shit, the pain in the ass kernel/fs issues we've been having with 7.1/2/3, RedHat plain isn't good enough for production use, let alone mission critical. Sometimes I really wish they would just leave the frickin thing alone!
Not wanting to dis the box at all, it looks damn cool, and I want one! But, isn't 250MHz just a little slow for mpeg4/divx encoding? I remember reading about how, after lots of Intel tinkering, a 2GHz (ish) P4 could do realtime DivX encoding. Maybe they'll use some specialist MPEG hardware...
*Crappy* example (complete with made up figures): RedHat $3,000,000 R&D / 100,000 users = $30 Microsoft $30,000,000 R&D / 10,000,000 users = $3
RedHat = $40-$150 Windows = $300
Server versions of RedHat do cost more, but so do server versions of Windows.
Yes, RedHat *could* sell it for the cost of the medium, plus something for the time, etc. But the massively smaller user base, and the effort/code they do put in costs more per user.
That is all we do here at ananova with ananova for pda's and orange-today for pda's. Then there's stuff for spv (icky evil nasty stinker) done in the same way.

They've voted in favour (u!) of *throwing out* the effort to *keep software patents out* ?
So they want software patents now?
I can't reach the isc incidents site, so don't know the real reason, but any system where a human has access has a point of failure...
It's using the exact same XF86Config as xfree was.
/X11/ /var/log/Xorg.0.log
As I don't have an xorg.conf it will use the Xfree name.
mahdell root # grep
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
emerge x11-base/xorg-x11
emerge unmerge xfree
No crashes, no errors, no odd behaviour at all.

I went along to the .com site last night, and was promptly redirected to the .co.uk as it has detected I was from the UK. Fair enough I guess.
The free 11meg download intrigued me, so went to look. Didn't get far mind.
At the bottom of the front page it does say:
System Requirements
PC only, Windows XP/2000, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.1 or higher, Windows Media Player 7.1 or higher, Internet connectivity
The page I was sent to, as a Konq user, was even worse:
Napster is currently compatible with Windows XP/2000.
Windows 95, Windows NT and the Mac OS are not supported at this time.
They wouldn't have had my custom anyway, but even if they would have had, after that, no chance.
Get with it Napster
Why do WE have to have a cataclysmic event?

I just like the idea of a cataclysmic event, that way we can get on with the cool Star Trek stuff

Now where would we be without their 'innovation', 'service', and 'helpful tool to navigate the web' ?
So what was this small technical issue that was fixed?
The "article" wasn't exactly informative.
I keep upto date with KDE from CVS (using Gentoo's excellent KDE CVS ebuilds) and noted, along with the large number of changes, that in the last week or so the default splash screen has been changed to the group photo. :)

It is only the remote update software...
I can't imagine it taking long for some bright spark to write a linux version.
Not wanting to dis the box at all, it looks damn cool, and I want one! But, isn't 250MHz just a little slow for mpeg4/divx encoding?
I remember reading about how, after lots of Intel tinkering, a 2GHz (ish) P4 could do realtime DivX encoding.
Maybe they'll use some specialist MPEG hardware...
They would be the SK41G, or SS40G.
:) mplayer rules!
I intend on getting an SK41G, as I need AGP for the G400MAX. DivX player without the slightest hint of an X server
I don't post stuff about linux, or *BSD, so you can't stick me to your wall!
Oh... you meant poster as in picture?
I'm not pretty as a picture either, sorry dude!
I could go on, but TBH, I'm too lazy, I'd fall off the wall!
