Microsoft today said it plans to revise a notification message, not the "feature" itself!!! "'Let's make this clearer for the consumers,'" a Microsoft representative said.
The current email text lets friends and colleagues know about the person's new email address and then it pushes benefits of MSN Explorer.
"In the final text, it will let recipients know that you have a new email address and shares how they can use that to communicate with you,"
So what exactly they are going to change? Rename "bug" to "feature"? "We will not push anymore, we will share"
Feedback actually helps... MS PR got to write new paper. Software? Naah, they'll keep it as it is.
Somebody got to put his signature on some report, so gov. can move on. 6 guys work for like $120K/year, I am not mentioning equipment, well,
sure DOJ could find somebody to do the job
"devices used for hacking" might be just the phrase used by
journalist of ZD. Meanwhile the threat from this proposal goes far beyond "banning
computers as devices used for hacking"
Read it!:
Signatories also would be required to provide law enforcement authorities
with the ability to conduct computer searches and seize computer data. In addition,
the proposed treaty would require those with access to or knowledge of computer
data sought by authorities to provide "all necessary information, as is reasonable,"
for authorities to obtain the data. "These computer-specific investigative measures
will also imply cooperation by telecom operators and Internet service providers,
whose assistance is vital to identify computer criminals and secure evidence
of their misdeeds,"
Speaking of which, interesting approach taken by FreeNet:
the objective is that the node operator can plausibly deny any knowledge
of the contents of her datastore

And by the way, isn't it a common practice to write huge Agreement to remove
all right from the customer and NOT to use it for a while. I mean, isn't it
what all big business doing here?
I think this kind of efforts will last a little. There are a lot of people who believe that "all we need to do is to improve protection and resell the music as much as we want, as it was before". Until RIAA realize that this logic does not work anymore, there is always will be some "new protection technology under development" (well financed by RIAA, right?).
It is really huge hole:^) After a few keystrokes he obtained something called the 'access log' which had all the security information needed to access any of the internet accounts run by Fiserv.
They obviosely posted access-log... It's really stupid for secure site, but it's not unfixable.
Akamai said Digital Island is infringing on a patent awarded last month
to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT licenses that technology exclusively
to Akamai <...>. Digital Island said it believes it isn't infringing on
the patent. The company has "patent pending claims for the same inventions claimed
by MIT" that predate MIT's patent claim.
DI need to have it implemented/published/writen/whatever one year before Akamai's
patent was filed, then thay can nulify Akamai's patent. Any info on exact dates
what was implemented when?
You can stay where you are, or you can move.
You can move out, or you can move up.
It's you choice. Does it mean that that you should not move? I don't think so...
There is interesting tendency:
Napser has central server, keep information on client side, and it works.
Gnutella does not have central server but still keep information on client side,
and it barely works.
Freenet does not have central server, and does not keep information on client
side, and it is not practically usable (yeah, I know it's the most promising technology,
but still...).
Also all of them call themselves peer-to-peer but napster actually has central
server, and freenet do not have second peer to connect to at all. Did somebody
can tell me what is it - P2P?
If the recipient is not online, the sender must send the message to AbsoluteFuture's
server Is it what they call peer to peer connection?
I did not find anything about open source of encryption algorithm. Why this
supposed to be better than PGP?
FBI's Carnivore program, which is installed at ISPs and scans massive amounts
of email to track messages sent by people under investigation. AbsoluteFuture's
SafeMessage system would potentially allow people to operate below this radar
screen.
Potentially... If Carnivore would not read it, then OK. If they would
read it then we would call it unrealized potentials...

"Network functions" is just one group of functions among 17
other groups like memory, UI, CPU etc... "distributed computing", "peer-to-peer", "file-sharing", and "cycle-sharing"?
Here is a whole list of functions to easily build any of those types of applications
in a weekend:
v3NetOpen v3NetSend v3NetRecv v3NetSendUDP v3NetRecvUDP v3NetListen v3NetAccept
v3NetClose v3NetDNS v3NetRevDNS v3NetMyIP v3NetACLAdd v3NetACLDelete v3NetACLTest
v3NetACLFree
What is buzzword-compliant around here?
It's just a matter of performance of Napster server(s), not all the clients connections. Thay can upgrade their hardware and it'll solve the problem. Gnutella can do nothing. Gnutella is not scalable. Napster is.
but it will have be divided into smaller networks...
It'll be divided, not distributed then...
However an idea of distribution still can be applied to file-sharing. As Napster
works fine with the server, all Gnutella needs to do is to create distributed
server to handle database and requests.
Well, actually it's the problem with all server-less architectures. Is you have
to have searches you've got to have server. If you want to make it P2P classic
-- make the server invisible. One way is to create distributed server.
More on this here.
I believe this question could be extended to more general one: How to assign
description fields to any digitized data?
I see no reason to restrict yourself to program code only. It could be extremely
useful to be able to structure any information you want: consumer, scientific,
entertainment, whatever.
Also, it is not mentioned directly, but the spirit of such standard would imply
that you also have ability to process this information. That is be able
to search. In a parlance of our times this means "search from the web"
Is there any open source solution for web accessible searchable database
with user updateable and flexible structure?
I do believe a well-built, user friendly P2P app will take the internet by storm.
What makes you think so? I am not arguing that P2P is a good thing, but what makes you think that P2P+UI will be enough? Don't you think that there is something else implemented in Gnutella and/or Napster what makes them groundbreaking app? Like for example search features. This is not implemented properly yet. P2P -- well it isn't technology developed last year. How to search effectively -- that's the problem.
This is just another *good* call for openly programmable VCR/TV sets.
If I would be able to control how I watch it,
they wouldn't try to force me to watch what they want...
Isn't it simple?
