They go about hacking and modding the case, turning a low power (aka, weak) x86 box and toss it into the G4 casing, and don't end up destroying the case to make everything fit.
Considering the pageload times that the server is(n't) giving me, I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't being served from the same "low power x86 box."
Even if we were to ignore ethics and whatnot, there's still a pragmatic reason for not writing a counter-virus.
I doubt that the person who wrote the counter-virus would get it perfect on the first try, and an "almost ready" virus is a damned scary thing. What kind of excuse would you be able to give for torching a couple thousand web servers by accident?
If found this following quote interesting: "Presumably, the Hotmail logout button is used to remove the Hotmail credentials, while the Passport signout button is used to remove the Passport credentials to all services. While this may be clear to computer security experts, it is unlikely that the average non-expert computer user will understand the distinction."
This is a bit unusual; most of Microsoft's various 'innovations' are renowned for their user interface, and here we have the interface acting as a potential security flaw.
Who wants to place bets on how long it will take before somebody starts harvesting ID's from the local libraries?
That says: "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail."
While I'm still learning about design, I sometimes question the effectiveness of trying to put linux onto anything you can get your hands on.
Wouldn't it be more effective to for some of these smaller devices to move more of their functionality to a hardware level? This is not a rhetorical question. I actually would like to know...
I don't know about the value of many old computers, but I myself have made a tidy sum off of the sale of old computer monitors. They seem to have some materials that can be economically reclaimed.
Not only that but I did sell one artist-type about 40 ega displays to make fishbowls out of.
Intel has recently announced that the latest prototype version of the Pentium 4 will crush any AMD offering in both clock speed and overall performance.
Using the new process of W.attage H.alting R.esistance E.ngineering, Intel can reduce pent-up system tension at an even lower cost.
Also, the WHORE system is fully compatible with the C.omposite R.ecursive A.lgorithm C.reation K.it used for extreme overclocking.
"The CRACK/WHORE combination should be a killer setup for many of our users, and we have already had several U.S. senators make inquiries" says John Thompson, head of engineering at Intel. "We even allow for massive clustering with the P.arallel I.nsulating M.ultipartite P.olymer, or PIMP management process.
Thompson also spoke of project BITCHSLAP for correcting wayward systems, but could not elaborate on it...
Beverley Hughes, the child protection minister, said though she had not seen the entire program, on account of being too disgusted, she had read about it and found it "unspeakably sick."
She read about it. How's that for detailed and useful knowledge of a topic you will be deciding on?
If protesters were to use non-lethal force against the authorities, would the authorities be permitted to step up to lethal force to "protect" themselves? I see a probability that the police might use non-lethal force as nothing but an antagonistic agent in order to cause some good old fashioned patriotic carnage...
As good as it sounds, but it may actually cause some new problems for linux and open source. A commercial program created using the SDL libraries would be compatible with PS2/Linux. This would probably make porting it to other architectures easier. Unfortunately, large publishing houses might site this as a security/copyright concern and clamp down.
I'm a bit unnerved by what the new version of XP is blocking. Between Blackice and ZoneAlarm, both of them have the ability to block "suspicious" outgoing information from things such as adware and zombies.
Call me paranoid, but I have a hunch that the new "compliant" versions of this software will have certain microsoft ports opened for various reasons. Not only does this present a security threat, but I am also somewhat worried about the user's privacy.
Open source doesn't need leadership. Open source was never meant to really have leadership. Open source is just a way to write software, usually for personal reasons. Honestly, many open source developers are working on projects in their spare time as a hobby. Do any of you want to have how you go about your hobby dictated to you from on high?
I know I don't, but some 733t penis-waving "I'm cool because I bash Windoze" zealots might...
A push towards a corporatized internet will only lead people to find other means of communication. Who wants to take bets on when every geek house has a wireless tower on top of it?
Be careful what you scrounge, it can be dangerous sometimes.
When I was in high school me and a buddy of mine helped the chemistry department head "inventory" the stock during a big move. We got everything under the sun. Unfortunately, we found out that some of the containers were mislabelled, and nearly blew our heads off opening a can of ether.

It's a feature.
I get to reimplement the same solution with four times the hardware and none of the worm protection.

In order to have your advice.
Yeah, it's not two words, but it's close enough...

Just a warning that scrounging isn't risk-free.
