Rich Site Summary, an XML format (presumably made by some netscape folks). I've also heard it as "Remote Site Syndication", which is also fitting:)
my.netscape.com has (last I checked) a s*load of RSS channels. userland also has a LOT!
Actually I've tried to convince a lot of the newspapers where I live, to make RSS channels, but only ONE out of the eight I contacted was willing - the others said that was a source of income, and there fore you had to pay for it. That I don't get at all. Something is wrong inside those peoples heads. They actually think that I would pay them to do their advertising?? (The links to the articles goes to their site!)
I really don't think so. Not for next many years. At least not effectively! Sure it will probably work for some attacks, script-kiddies and all that, but an automated system would, as I see it, be easy to fool...
Let's imagine that you DoS attack a server, you write a little program that automates the attack, spoofing IP addresses of a particular ISP that you don't like, covering an entire C-class, or B-class or whatever. Maybe alternate the attack types.
Very soon the automated intrusion prevention system will have blocked all the IP addresses of the ISP. Bing.
It would be interesting to see though, also in regards to honeypot networks (nets designed to be hacked/cracked/attacked).
I believe that there is a tool that you use with snort (an IDS), to make an automated system, block IPs etc.
Anyway, my point was that for many years to come, we wont be able to live without the experienced system administrator, going through logs!
Development of the next-generation memory is almost at the point where the group, which holds patents on the technology, can start working on its commercial development[...]
Does this mean that the research is finished, and now they're just going to figure out what the commercial product is going to be like? That is pretty wild! Can't wait to get some of these =)
And new to Half Life - Last night one of my friends spectated on a cool match between two cool danish clans, and he recorded a demo for us while being spectator, so you can actually make a "film" of the match;) Anyway it's been something that has been missing for a long time in half life - So that's nice!
Lets face it, instant messengers are here to stay. I, for one, need mine! I recently migrated from ICQ to Jabber - I run my own jabber server, why? Well, in short, because I can.
But I've managed to "migrate" a few of my friends too. It really wasn't too hard, since ICQ started forcing big ugly banners upon their users. I still have a few friends that use MSN messenger, because it's intuitive and easy. I showed them JabberIM, and I think they'll be switching soon... I really do think that Jabber is the future for IMs... XML based instant messaging. Jabber has just recently gotten nice clients, Gabber, WinJab and JabberIM are really good. Gabber and JabberIM are my favorites, but if you want to know what's going on (developing or such), WinJab is the best.
What I'm trying to say, is that users don't want to see huge ads just to send a short message. In a business, you certainly don't want to be distracted by ads like that. Jabber offers a stable, rapidly developing IM platform.
Uhm, ok, just my two cents.
This spam is from people you know!

Just yesterday I read a simialr article on IDG.net - it's about how most our spam is actually from our cow-orkers and friends. Aparently they have no idea of what's important or not;)
At least I get fewer emails with 2mb powerpoint presentations than I did last year:)
Give it a read!
Man IBM are advocating linux in a big way! That one seems to be cheap though - Chalk a designer and a small(?) fine - BAM! Huge media coverage - That's very cool I think. Bravo IBM! Pretty cool icons too;)
Btw did you see these weird tux's?:) I was looking for some tux gfx and stumbled over them =)
What is this guy talking about? My harddisk came with 7500 RPM... I didn't install it - In fact I'm pretty sure you can't download more RPMs for your harddisk... Or maybe it's the new OpenTurbo 1.0?
I'm too tired to be posting;-)
As new technology goes toward high performance, low emission, zero pollution technologies to produce power.
I like Peter F. Hamiltons (read his books) ideas - most of his tech is powered by fuel cells - all of them running a combination of He3 and deuterium (heavy hydrogen)...
Interesting! Are we slowly progressing towards cold fusion?
I found spectrum tech. corp., they seem to have a patent on some fuel for fuel cells, called HOD (Hydrogen-Oxygen-Deuterium). They've been mentioned a few places...
Also I stumbled across something called PPC - Patterson Power Cell - It seems that Mr. Patterson believes that his tech will make fossil fuels obsolote - that would be really cool! Read more here
Try doing a google search for "deuterium fuel cell" - You'll get a lot of interesting hits!
[..] you have infringed MasterCard's rights under the federal and state trademark and unfair competition laws [...]
Not being an America, nor a lawyer, how do they see this as unfair competition? Or is that simply the whole law they are referring to?
Just a thought...
Yeah Mission: Impossible had a really cool hacker, pretty nerdy type too - I really identified with Ving Rhames (he played Luther Stickell - the cool black guy with the *shiver* mac - ok, maybe I didn't identify truly:-)...
He was also in M:I2 - but his role was very downplayed unfortunately, maybe he didn't sit well with the public? Oh well, it's late:-)
Seeing how security over normal wires is very hard to implement, it's really no surprise that wireless devices are more vulnerable...
I guess the only way to make something like that secure to a satisfactory degree (right now), would be to build a radio-dead building with radio-dead windows, so that only wireless devices within the building can connect... That'd bring security up to current level of wiredevices... Which means that you would have to have physical access to the LAN...
Building something like that has a few advantages for the paranoid, it would also block electronic emanations. I think buildings like that are referred to as TEMPEST buildings... /. has a few articles that touch these subjects. Shielded PC casings. Some TEMPEST docs released. More docs revealed. Scan the EMF spectrum. This is the same docs as above I think.
After long hours of sweat, sex and hard work, I've implemented a SH version of lzip, it seems to be working. I'm having a bit of difficulty making a lunzip though... Use this script with caution!
Slashdot wont let me post the code, so here is a link.
Known bugs:
I am having difficulties compressing files names "help" - don't know why...
Why is that so strange, I can see that it's pretty unusual, it coming from the moon and all. But I really don't see anything strange in it. I mean, you can't even bring s piece of sausage from europe into Australia... Why aren't we posting about that? Ok, this one I guess I asked for...
Well, I run a few web sites, and I've thought about getting a cert from verisign, but thought better of it... It's just too expensive! At the moment I've just signed my own cert, but I am getting a free cert from GlobalSign. It seems though, that it is only a temporary offer - But I'm hoping they'll keep offering free ones, for charity or very small companies;-)
I hope you can use it!
Well, the article speaks of a lot of things, mostly though, it's links to specialized search engines. It gives the impression that in order to really find what you are looking for, you should use a highly specialized search engine. I disagree a bit on that.
I know there are companies out there that has the technology to "put it all in one" so to speak. I have worked a little with Autonomy, and I gotta say, I am deeply impressed by what it does. They employ technology called Bayesian Inference (from Thomas Bayes). The technology has to do with "calculating the probabilistic relationship between multiple variables and determining the extent to which one variable impacts on another" - Sounds wild, eh? Well it it. Together with this, their core engine, called DRE (Dynamic Reasoning Engine), relies on the theory of Claude Shannon, which states that "the less frequently a unit of communication (for example a word or phrase) occurs, the more information it conveys".
The more input you give it, the more accurate it will be. Oh, and it's actually for all kinds of unstructured information - also e-mail.
I ramble. You should check it out.
Autonomy also makes Kenjin, which is a piece of software that you install that will understand what you are looking at, and help you search for similar stuff. Kinda kool.
Is the Chinese Nintaus player, I've recently bought the N9901 player, and I must say, I am very, very impressed. It plays all discs VERY nicely. It has DTS and all that stuff, as well as karaoke (gah?!) and a few games. It doesn't have the flaws that the Kiss players have (got friends who bought the Kiss players, and regretted it).
In Denmark you can get it for 2.300,- DKK (which is about 280 US$ incl. vat and P&P).
You can read a bit about the players Nintaus makes here.
I recommend it highly!
Im sure if you looked closely enough, most of us have some sort of genetic mutation in our DNA
I would say that's a pretty safe bet. Human beings, well actually all life on earth, is what it is because of genetic mutation. Genes are pretty "unstable" - This is good and bad, this is why we have things like cancer, but this is also the reason that we are humans. If genes were stable, ie didn't mutate, we would still be amoeba or whatever the basic stuff would be.
of Americans... No offense.
I use speednames.com, they're cool and fast, and mostly pretty cheap.
It started as a Danish company, so you'll probably not find censorship there.

So the big question now is ... who will develop a PlayStation 2 emulator for this thing?
;-) "Because we can"
