Blue security seems to be causing pain to spammers, enough to get a rise out of them at least. Aren't they actually reflecting the spam back to the source? I think that was their tactic.
That logic is wrong. But in that tradition:

One thing you should rememeber is that siteadvisor is in the market of marking sites BAD. And they are very simple about it: if a site ever was bad, or got a suspisous review it is marked bad. You better have one false alert than one good alert. It is good for suspisiour users, because you get a extra warning (beside the one in the eula....) to be careful.It is not yet ready for mom and dad who do not know how to handle false alerts.
I can tell you the next step: companies will use the siteadvisor list(/plugin) to block suspisous sites. Siteadvisor was never made for this! It is just a extra flag. Nothing more. Nice if it stays free, but i wonder what their business modell will be in 2 years.
Their colors are discussable. I think sites with adware/phishing download should be marked orange (watch out). Only sites with browser exploits should be marked red.
Linux is not "open". It is gpl. gpl is a "I share my code if you share your code". It is free, but only in the sense that you can freely distribute the code.
The source is open, as in if you have the binaries you have right to the code.
But you really have to read the gpl before you call it "open".
As a user you should not care too much and simply use it. That is your unrestricted right.
In the ed2k world also more and more users begin to notice isp are throttling or blundly blocking users. As a developer one can only tell to the users to switch isp(vote with your wallet). One problem is that isp simply deny everything. An other problem is that in some countries there barely is an alternative. (Portugal, Chile)
There are already 2 emule mods that support protocol obfuscations like utorrent/azareus but since encryption only works if both peers uses it this still is of limited use.
You simply don't know what the patches are for. It's virtually impossible to make a determination about a deployment time frame if not deploying a patch has the potential to place you at an additional, unknown risk."

I reported vulnarabities i like to have credit for. But now it seems their patches have side effect and now i have to test everything again! maybe they fixed it, maybe not, maybe sometimes.
I give up. Yet anonther network reset. I gave up freenet a long time ago because it does nto give backwards compatibilty. The strenght of a p2p network is the number of users. This developer attitude network kills off all content reguraly and makes sure that the network stays small.
Since anonimy in freenet is archieved by hiding in the masses, by keeping the mass small, there is not as much anonimty as you would like or could archieve.
What does this mean for Microsoft and its reputation as a company that can eventually ship software?
Not much, they'll still have a reputation for eventually shipping, as they always have done
However it will make them think over using software assurance(=subscription) or not since the value of software assurance decreases if MS does not release new versions. It might be cheaper just to buy a single version and upgrade every 2 or 3 new versions instead of having the latest one that is not in time for the current subsription.
likely to have their internet usage monitored and their home raided
Well that is the case in the eu. Your internet will be monitored. Home raiding is a different story since there seem to be privacy laws in the EU. SO instead of homes the RIAA puppets decide to raid lan parties.
But would you really beleive all the claims of such a compagny. There are also compagnies that claimed they could find identify the music from listening to it, but until today there is no compagny that makes a good p2p program with this info in it.
Now there is a compagny that claims it can catagorize porn (hmm, try to explain to your wife/virtual gf: i work for a compagny that catagorize porn 8) ). They would love to sell it to a government, and might sell it to some nazi filtering compagny (they always filter just good enough, but only 95% accurate) But would you believe them?
For a announce you need mc-disaster. In annouces regually it found a virus, or sometime just announces the fact that there are dangerous viri on the web.
If it really found a virus is very well discusable. It gives a warning once in a while that some webpage might contain a virus, or some bounced message with an attachment might be a virus.
Anyway, mc-disaster is not the program that saves me time keeping my system clean. It only costs me time. In the short time i ran it in the past it costed me more time than all the combined viursses i have seen. (not that many)
Even if it was from a positive rated seller. If he sold some very small items it would have been easy to get a good rating. Then make a big rip of on a big item and just loose 1 rating.
And then there are also hijacked accounts.
By the way, anyone here interested in buying a place that contains toxic waste?
The why is far ore interresting. Is this a implementation that is still subtoptimal, or is this because features will cost latacey by default. (i see a 4 way handshake over a 3 way handshake will cost you a little bit more latnecy to start with)
I can't see a real advantage of multi-stream SCTP over multiple TCP connections. Managememnet int the STCP protocol instead of doing that manually? Specailly if quality of service is involved? YOu can program that all manually of course, but the point is that you let the stack do it for you.
But since there will be plenty of NAT/firewall in the way of a new protocol i would be very reluctant to use it on a large scale production site.
And i am saying nothing about bad business. I am saying that freeware tools that need deep access to kernel like feature will not work. Maybe they will but you will have to disbale a lot of drm releated features.
for userspace application like apache or you name it this will have no infulence at all unless the applicaiton badly assumes it has admin proveledges all the time. Some freeware tools do that but some business toosl do that as well ( think games....)
Sony can still install his rootkit on vista because they can affort a certificate. (They can even get feedback from most anti virus creators that their rootkit won't be flagged as rootkit)
Well, that's exactly what Microsoft is doing with Vista. The whole kernel has been reorganized and rewritten to help prevent software from affecting the system in unsavory ways. In Vista, it should be much more difficult for unauthorized programs (like Viruses and Trojans) to affect the core of the OS and secretly harm your system.
Which will also make it impossible to run freeware programs that need kernel access. No more deamontools, no more vnc mirror drivers.

Well appearantly a lot of people still use it. How else could they have 4.2 million dollars earned with installing spyware?
Don't know is this a reason to laugh.
But gnutella network? not even g2? cry....

Don't worry. Dupes of this story will be posted soon.

The problem is enforcement. It is very hard to detect someone is using a handsfree cell phone.
In the ed2k world also more and more users begin to notice isp are throttling or blundly blocking users. As a developer one can only tell to the users to switch isp(vote with your wallet). One problem is that isp simply deny everything. An other problem is that in some countries there barely is an alternative. (Portugal, Chile)
Anyway to start I created a wiki page to document those isp's so users know what isp they should List_of_Bandwidth_throttling_ISPs wiki page
There are already 2 emule mods that support protocol obfuscations like utorrent/azareus but since encryption only works if both peers uses it this still is of limited use.
Anyway those mods are neomule and Sion emule
Try to avoid such isp if possible, or contact your local consumer body to take legal action.
This link has already been posted here, but it does not hurt to post it again:

The problem is not that he is born blind. He is getting blind from too much .......
well actually it is better than you think. By hardcoding the path it will run good on some system and produce a (fast) error ont others.
must be better than a D if most of you could not figure that out.

... even slashdot is against me.
It has also accused the commission of collaborating with its rivals in the software industry
You would get paranoid too if everyone is against you.

Before his critique, Gates showed off a new "ultra-mobile computer" which runs Microsoft Windows on a seven-inch (17.78-centimeter) touch screen.
Those machines are expected to sell for between $599 and $999, Microsoft said at the product launch last week.
