"Of course anyone can just as easily copy and paste the text into a web browser and send it from a Hotmail account, but security based on futile half-measures just makes me think this must be authentic Microsoft."
There is a special feature in Exchange/Outlook that prevents you to copy/paste or modify any mail with the private flag set. I saw this in a customer that uses Exchange and Outlook. It is possible to defeat this restriction, but it's not easy for non-technical users.
Globalization without rules == Corporate Heaven

Defining Globalism
·
· Score: 1
I think if we want globalization to suceed and make a better world, them we have to apply the same rules to the world that the ones in the industrial countries.
A central goverment who collects Earnings Tax worldwide and then invest on poor regions to improve living standards
Free and open migration from one country to another. This ensures that no region will be rich and other poor. Because people can migrate.
This rules are similar to the ones that applies inside any country. If we really want a global market, then these rules will protect countries and promote a balanced development.
So RMS wanted an alternative to KDE bacause it was not "Free Enough" and created GNOME. They build the proyect on GTK Toolkit which is LGPL. LGPL allows to be used by non-Free products (see why LPGL is bad)
But now KDE is completely GPL and Free (Qt Toolkit now is GPL). So it is the perfect Free Desktop. Meanwhile GNOME have walk the oposite path and now is commercial.
There is no need to create a new propietary protocol . There is a standard way to validate a user using POP3 whitout sending the password in clear text. See RFC 1939 - APOP command
Normally, each POP3 session starts with a USER/PASS
exchange. This results in a server/user-id specific password being sent in the clear on the network. For intermittent use of POP3, this may not introduce a sizable risk. However, many POP3 client implementations connect to the POP3 server on a regular basis -- to check for new mail. Further the interval of session initiation may be on the order of five minutes. Hence, the risk of password capture is greatly enhanced.
An alternate method of authentication is required which provides for both origin authentication and replay protection, but which does not involve sending a password in the clear over the network. The APOP command provides this functionality.
The GNOME Desktop is developed using the GTK toolkit which uses the LGPL License.
The KDE Desktop is developed using Qt toolkit. The Qt toolkit is licensed under GPL (free edition).
The Free Software Fundation recommends using GPL instead LGPL for software. The reason is that GPL encourage free software projects but LGPL can be used in any project (remember that FSF promotes FreeSoftware).
So ? What toolkit whould FSF promote ? Qt or GTK ? What Dekstop should FSF support ? KDE or GNOME ?
You may say that Qt is not pure GPL because it is dual licensed. But that make no sense. If Qt is distributed under a non-free (free as in beer) license, this is an extra motivation for developers to use the GPL edition.
I think FSF should evaluate which is the best way to achieve its objetives.
The FBI only logs keystrokes while the modem was not active:
"... the FBI knew that when the computer's modem was not activated, the computer was not acting as an electronic comunication device. [...] In order to avoid potentially intercepting electronic comunications typed on the keyboard and simultaneously transmited in real time [...] Upon entry or selection of a keyboard key by a user, the KLS (Key Logger System) checked the status of each communication port installed on the computer, and, all comunications ports indicated inactivity, meaning that the modem was not using any port at that time, then the keystroke in question would be recorded."
Why ? It make no sense to me. If Scarfo did the encryption/decryption while he was online the KeyLogger would be useless.
InterBase also has a very interesting transaction mechanism based on a multiversioning engine. One key benefit is that readers never block writers. You can process a long report of consistent (commited) data, without blocking data-entry applications.
"By simple virtue of the fact that parasitic GPL companies exist, you're effectively letting someone else make the money off your work by making it GPL"
So ? Are you suggeting to use another license ?
If you use BSD license instead GPL, the "parasitic company" can take control of your work without even publishing source code.
And if you are thinking on a propietary license, then you are preaching in the wrong place.
"Microsoft has incorporated BSD code into Windows various times, each time giving proper credit and keeping copyright notices intact."
The Windows FTP command is bassed on BSD sources, but the user interface does not show any copyright information.
It is said that also the TCP/IP stack is based on BSD sources.
Can anyone affirm that Microsoft source code retains the mandatory copyright information ?
Another question. This headers define an interface between Hardware and Software. This interface was not created by Sorem Schmit. Can he claim copyright rights on them ?
He can do this by releasing a new operating system even more bloated, slow and enormous than his current excrescences, thus requiring a general round of expensive and pointless consumer hardware upgrading-pointless for the consumers
The Defense Rests
What type of bull-ass-shit FUD is that?
blah, blah, blah,....
In addition, the hardware requirements are negligably(sic) higher than that of W2K. The memory has been doubled under the "Recommended" arena from 64MB to 128MB
To be oneself completely free does not mean you can do whatever you want with your sun or your neighbor. To be free means you can do whatever you want to do as long as you don't suppress other people freedom.
That is what the GPL states. It says you can do whatever you want with a piece of code except to limit the freedom of its "relatives". It sounds reasonable to me.
It seems that law only protects big corporations. You can read this article about a series of DoS attacks GRC.COM suffered. The FBI told the sysadmin that they can not help him because he need to probe a damage at least of $200,000
I'm deeply sad and sorry for the current situation and I firmly believe that the persons resposible of this barbarie must be hunted and punished.
But then we have to think why so many people in some many countries feel unhappy about US foreign politics and this new global economy.
US punishes Cuba because they don't respect human rights, but partners China because they have nuclear weapons and because it is economicaly convinient.
Meanwhile US had supported dictators in Iraq, Chile, Argentina, South Corea and many other countries when they were pro-americans.
Do you remember the incidents during the last G8 metting in Genoa ? Industrialized nations are promoting the Global Economy. Corporations can build their products all over the world, they can sell their products all over the world, but where do the benefits of this global economy goes ? The gap between rich people and poor people is increasing. Unemployment is a big problem in many countries. External debt in poor countries get bigger and bigger.
If we live in a global economy, why don't we behave like a big nation ? Why don't we create a global income tax to improbe living conditions in poor regions. To build hospitals, shools, roads, etc. Why don't we implement a global unemployment insurance ? Why don't we open the borders of our countries so people can migrate like a big nation ?
I think the global economy is a big lie. It only helps corporations get bigger while most people get poorer.
If we do not face this problems, we will fighting the consecuenses instead of the cause.
Try to write apply the program X against all n files ending with.x, In the Dos box? Impossible but entering n times the command, in windows explorer? possible but nasty, since it requires you to select all.x files seperatly, in a bash shell? No problem just write
for i in *.d; X $I; done
for i in (*.d) do X %i%
I know a bash shell is orders of magnitude superior to a DOS command prompt. But your example was inappropiate
"It also installs a backdoor in the infected host, listening on UDP port 5503 or higher. An attacker could connect to this port via TCP and potentially take control of the machine..."
If he can connect to an UDP port using TCP he must be a genius! We are all under danger!
Slashdot Mirror
None. You will not see an OS written in C# either.
C# is an application level language. So, it make sense to make it safe. It would reduce exploits and crashes.
You will never find a buffer overflow in Java.
There is an interesting (and rather negative) review about OOP here (OOP Criticism).
OOP is by no means a magic solution to programming problems.

I'm dying to see WINE ported to Win32! :-)
BTW, anti-aliasing was introduced on KDE 2.
I saw Natural Born *******. It is a nice love story between a bald man and a girl. But it seems to me a very short movie. Only 5 minutes long.
Now I'm going to see A Clockwork Orange and Pulp Fiction

Here is a description of this versioning system.
I must admit that I have no "real life" experience with this database. I don't know how fast or robust it is. Has anyone used it ?

Outlook Express 7.0 can prevent spread also.
Tools -> Options -> Security -> check "Do not allow to send or receive any mail on this machine"
No, you are wrong. That is the USA's way. The Soviet Union only allows it people to do what they were permitted to do. Nothing else.
The defense rests .
