  1. Re:Seperation of Church and State on Finally, A Solution To The DMCA · · Score: 1

    The U.S. Supreme Court specifically said that the establishment clause prevented the U.S. Federal government from ruling if $cientology was a religion or not.

    The IRS later over-ruled SCOTUS and declared it a religion. (I know, but they basically did.) Members of $cientology can now deduct tution fees for $cientology schools as religious contributions. As well for as private detectives and massive lawsuits.

    So now I guess we know who wears the pants in the U.S. Federal government... :^)

    Well duh! Anything not a marsupial in Australia is either a Funnel-web or rabbit, or a human or a sheep. Koala "bears" are stoned on the leaves they eat, and will shit on you if you pick them up. And that about says it all.

    Did you know that we have marsupials here in north america? Possums and maybe racoons. (I nominate them for Sapien Next if we bite the big one.) Dogs: a mile high statue of Elvis. Cats: A meter high statue of Elvis ("Yah, so?").

    And how did the flight crews know weeks in advance where and when they'd be flying? How did the airline know that they'd have a plane there (properly maintained--with a zillion things on their own check/replace/fix schedule), fueled and ready to go?

    Hell, if I'd known that crew and planes weren't mission critical, I'd have started my own airline years ago! Mmm, Quantum Airlines. "You might already be there, with a live/dead cat."

  11. Coming Soon! on Code Red III · · Score: 1

    A major haxor group is rumoured to be close to releasing a new product: Code RedHat

    The group spokesit 3v1l d00mm said "Yeah well, why should clueless Windoh!s lusers have all the fun? There's a lot of clueless Linux lusers these days who just install RedHat out of box, and don't add the patches. You can root these machines in less than a minute, but where's the fun in that? Besides, with Linux and a good connection, even 386 boxenthings with 8 meg ram are deadly! We expect that Code RedHat will show the world how much better Linux is than Microsludge. If you thought hundreds of thousands of copies of Code Red I/II slowed the net, watch what even a couple thousand copies of Code RedHat can do!"

    I asked if they planned to distribute through store channels, Internet, or corporate clients, he grinned and said "Distribution will not be a problem."

    When asked if they plan to make it Open Source, 3v1l d00mm said "Hey, we'd like to but we're still talking to our lawyers, and what with the IPO coming up, project deadline and all that, we'll have to see."

    Maybe after it left China it hit a 'sad' firewall. I do know that all my Internet traffic seems to come through an 'idiot' firewall -- it dumbs down everything I read by at least 50%.

    So don't use a worm, use a trap-door spider. (Feel free to invent a better term.)

    Write a program that sits on port 80, and when it detects a Code Red II attempt, it "fixes" the infected machine. It's still not ethical, but much safer. (It could still lead to police cars arriving to come take you away...)

  17. Re:You could do that, but don't! on Fight Virus With Virus? · · Score: 1

    It's sometimes interesting to browse the infected sites. (After all, you know that they have a web server.)

    It looks like some people are already taking (unethical) action:

    http://64.50.103.8
    "Your system is infected with Code Red II and it attempted to hack my server. Please fix your server. "

    There's the clueless like http://64.230.195.33/ and http://64.230.33.150/ which are "Under Construction", so they probably don't even know that they're running IIS. ARRRGGH!

    A number of others fail with a too many connection. Busy little worm! Hmm... I didn't just /. those urls! :^)
