Offering further evidence that media companies and online portals will control the bulk of e-commerce traffic, four Web properties -- America Online (NYSE: AOL), Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Napster -- now account for more than half of all the time spent online by U.S. surfers, Jupiter Media Metrix (Nasdaq: JMXI) said Monday.
That's pretty weird: I haven't been to *any* of 'em..
I've personally spoken to someone who knows that there's an Illuminati!
He also told me *all* about the 100,000 United Nations troops waiting in the woods of northern Minnesota, just waiting from orders from the Illuminati to come sweeping down across the United States into Washinton, DC, to establish a One-World government based on atheistic humanism!
GDI relates to, basically, all the little widgets, icons, and fonts Windows (at least in Win9x, not sure how WinNT handles this...IIRC, this is a throwback to Win 3.1's paintbrushes and palettes, so NT may be different when not running WOWexec) has to keep track of. GDI is a major component of that number that you see called "System Resources".
Oh, and a hell of a lot of progess we're making, then.
"...And because the flaw has been known for so long, it's unlikely that there are many TCP implementations that are still vulnerable to such attacks.
"This is extremely difficult to do. It's a theoretical attack," said security expert Steve Gibson, of Gibson Research Corp. in Laguna Hills, Calif. "It's weird that they're talking about something like this. It's as old as the hills."
And that's from the article, itself...
At least Guardent (or what ever it is..) suckered ZDNet into giving them some space in the news hole...
"...Arbor is working with the Internet Engineering Task Force to make its detection system compatible with existing network routers and firewalls. This would allow Arbor devices to send attack warnings directly to a firewall, which could then block the unwanted data..."
Fine. One *more* link in the chain.
Let's hope that Arbor's isn't a weak link:
Crack that, and do your blocking right from within the detection system.
What was that?
"Any code written by man, can be broken by man."
Let's hope Arbor is armoring their stuff real well...
Had to download it twice before all of all the files got downloaded correctly.
Crashed every time I ran it, always with some pissy-assed Window$ error (1 general protection fault; 1 total lockup; a bunch of something like "..that control has (not?) been (de-?) registered..) etc etc and it goes ka-booom...
For a *real* good time, try clicking on the "Properties" field under one of the four sub-windows -- it goes ka-booom big time when ya do that... and then ya get to watch Window$ do a scan-disk 'cause it wasn't shut down properly... jeez, I guess!
...and a quick peek at tcpdump, and what's getting DENY'ed by ipchains *when* it does run suggests it wants at least udp and tcp 137 opened up on my firewall, and fsck that.
...and it reports back to the mothership *every* time you start it up, under the guise of "Checking Internet connection: please wait".
I didn't break out *what* it's sending back to the mothership, but the packet sizes are pretty big...
Where the hell do you get "...stirring up some trouble..." in any of this?
The girl in question seemed, at the very least, to have set up and performed a relatively well-thoughtout statistical study of clothing/doll preferences in two distinct populations: adults and kids.
Do you read "..trouble.." in this because it calls into questions your own racial attitudes?
This is yet another example of how, by some means noone has yet explained to me, minor children in the public school systems in the United States have lost all rights granted by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
That, combined with the cringing political-correctness and spinelessness of that school's teachers and administrators, yields one more infrigement of the right to free speach and the uncensored discussion of very important social issues.
As for Thielen's eBay auction parody, it's a fscking joke -- and nothing even remotely resembling "trouble" except for the possible confusion that it may have caused in an utter idiot...
"...Jim Allchin, says that freely distributed software code such as rival Linux could stifle innovation and that legislators need to understand the threat."
"...The result will be the demise of both intellectual property rights and the incentive to spend on research and development, he said yesterday..."
How does one follow from the other, at all?
This is yet another classic example of the sort of double-speak, mis-speak, non-speak that has become so prevalent in politcal discourse lately.
There's no elaboration, no expansion, no explanation.
He says it, and it's true without examination.
Frighteningly, the continuation:
''I'm an American, I believe in the American Way,'' he said. ''I worry if the government encourages open source, and I don't think we've done enough education of policy makers to understand the threat.''
...says where we're going: stir up the politician-sheep and educate them.
Yeah.. educate them in the Micro$oft Way®
Where does Gates want the government to go, today?
We'll find out, and of course ol' Gee Dub Ya is at the helm, and we all know what he thinks (if "thinks" is the right term..) about Micro$oft.
Finally, you heard it here first:
"When source code is outlawed, only outlaws will have source code."
...are a come-on to get you to purchase something, a modern variation on the "$19.95" pricing scam that most people mentally read as $19.00 even though the price is essentially $20.00.
Rebates, *when* the seller honors them, at least give the seller a great float -- they have your money, earning them interest somewhere, until they get around to honoring their rebate and send you what they owe you...
At worst, they're a rip-off because either you don't bother, or they never get around to honoring the rebate and they keep your money.
As for Quicken/TurboTax, I've *never* received a rebate back from them, over years and years..
They *are* a total rip-off; it's only because of the low price of their product (2000 version TurboTax for "$14.95" - $19.95 ignoring their "rebate") that I'll buy it anyway...

The "technology" that the XFL used were video cameras and microphones.
Is this exotic?
I think not. (Therefore I ain't;-)
The placement of cameras on the field was *mildly* interesting; the one on the cables that seem to float over the field I first saw in a NASCAR race at Sears Point maybe four years ago. It was called "cable-cam"..
Was this a big deal?
No. Flat no.
It was a *very* mediocre mid-college level football game played by a group of has-beens and never-weres in front of an audience, that if you *really* looked into the upper parts of the stands, looked as though it was bored to death.
This had nothing to do with sport, nothing to do with football, and nothing to do with technology.
It's a pure marketing ploy by NBC, which lost its NFL contract to some other network (Fox? dunno..) and by the clowns who dreamed up the WWF.
The only point of the XFL is to suck money out of consumerist sheep who are always willing to prove, once again, that they don't have a life.

Get real! Where the hell have you been the last ten years, under a rock?
No company can be a coercive monopoly unless the government forces others out of the market for them.
Oh, right! It's all the government's fault!
Silly me! Why didn't I realize that before you enlighten us all...
Is it a crime to be a monopoly because you have the greatest market share? I think not.
Well, duh!
This is not merely an issue of the greatest market share ...
Do you have any idea *what* a monopoly is?
And, are monopolies criminal?
Well, duh, deux!
In a word, yes.
Get a clue...

It's about the only Window$ app I use anymore.
It's kinda gone down hill after the parent company was bought out by ZDNet but it still really works pretty well.
It meta-searches about a dozen of the major search sites simultaneously.
I use it alot to search for the meaning of obscure error messages and error codes and stuff like that.
Used to use it alot for searching out what cryptic .dll filenames were related to...
