Wait a min. I know Theo, and this is bullshit. While Theo is very quiet, and can be a wee bit closed minded, he is a great guy. He takes his project VERY seriously, and as a result is VERY protective of the "end product". as far as security... I think you should do some rading... and not just comic books either.
These folks at etoy need to relax... according to etoys, the website only has enough $ to opperate till March. Man, they LOST 84 million in the last quarter alone!
I say wait it out and pick up some Starwars toys at the closing sale.
1 - Divide the/. comunity into two sides (WinLeft/WinRight)
2 - WinRight bombards tucows with insults and "suggestions" for improving their Windows Section.
3 - WinLeft Creats a petition site claiming "Tucows is going downhill" and "What's with all the changes!"
4 - WinRight emails tucows declaring that WinLeft are a bunch of wacked out OSS advocates, and should be ignored
5 - WinLeft rubutts with "WinRight are all Linux Zealots, just trying to screw the system" Followed by a massive flame mail/DDOS attacks.
6 - WinRight Starts massive mail-bomb campaign against tucows.
7 - WinLeft Counters with a "Manifesto" delivered to Tucows re: "The Diminishing Quality, and overall suckieness of the Tucows Windows Section" Boycott Proposed, more flames.
8 - Tucows decides it is all too much for their poor support staff.
Voilla, no more windows section on Tucows, more room for Atari ROMs and Mac Software.
I think it is obvious that Hemos is an alien and is trying to throw us off the trail...
Sashdotters, I say install SETI@Home on every system you get near, someone write a nasty little email virus that installs the software... lets track those aliens down and EXPOSE HEMOS!
With the exponential increase in demand for Bandwidth, do you see a need for access to be regulated on a federal (or global) Level?
Will Goverments need to intervene to ensure we all have access to our "fair share" of pipe? With the merger of AOL/TW (and more to come, I'm sure) How will regulators manage our rights for access to information?
Not every aplication is going to be "Mission Critical" we have been using MySQL in my shop for a TON of applications. (Search Engine, Account Data, and for a LARGE scale File Sharing DB) While MySQL is not oracle, it's cost/performance ratio is pretty darn good.
...and as long as you feel there is enough upside, I say stick it out... Having trouble with financing is par for the course, so I would not worry too much about that... (unless your pay cheque bounces)
However, if you find yourself doubting managment decisions, or the direction of the company, well, you should probably cut your losses.

Go Ahead dumb ass, I am at the karma cap!
CD's here are cheap. we buy them in bulk (80) for under $1 CANADIAN a piece.
You americans are dumb sometimes. What's next? we all have Uber-Overclocked cpu's because we live in igloos and have no need for external cooling?

ARGH! Slashcode ate my less-than symbol...
above should read less than 10,000 infected systems
1 quarter to call someone who cares for each infected system.
According to the New McCafee Virus Map:
Luvbug.vbs infected
So, 10,000x$0.25 = $2500.00/day
Therefore - Today, Luvbug.vbs cost Americans $2,500.00 today...
are you on glue?

Why not have a DDOS reunion tour? I'm sure the folks at CNN, Ebay, etc would love to see your sup3r 1337 skillz again...
morons...
...about this, I can't remember where though... I think it said... um... forget it, next time I'll bookmark it.
As Long as they don't clone Rosanne Barr, Jon Katz (sorry jon) or Barbera Striesand(sp?), they can Clone away!!!
Kids, you better be good, or your parents will have a replacement cloned... No one would ever be the wiser...
I agree with Katz... Some weird Planet alignment? LSD in the water supply? I dunno, but my world is crashing down around me...
argh... I didn't preview...

I bet the Ice People living near the core of pluto are gonna be pissed...
I bet this is Hemos's doing... 'cause we all know he is an Alien. After that Optical SETI crap, we should have expected this.

"Cockpit Hacked, Plane Diverted To Amsterdam"
Let's just hope they give the flight controlls an IP.
offtopic? WTF man... that is just stupid.
...This paper (if one can call it that) is just plain silly. I especially liked his use of Scientific terms such as "Super-Fast"

Katz hated it? Must be good. Doesn't he hate horses and America too?
