Hence, the media blows it out of proportion
True, true... but even bad publicity....
MSnbc has been running [ruining] lots of airtime about this worm.
Doesn't code red also use Solaris computers to spread? Didn't I read that on slashdot? Of course I didn't hear that on MSnbc --- the only thing I hear on that channel is Chandra Levy and the phrase 'Microsoft Web Server Software'
Its like a really expensive commercial.
Duh... I'm of average smarts, and noticed these programs were asking, begging to be installed, but I didn't. It's not that hard to RTTTIOTSIFOY!!! (read the text that is on the screen in front of you!!!).
If you don't want to run this software, get a clue. I don't think that anyone who is paranoid about tracking and unwanted software is going to install this stuff - i'm paranoid, more than most and I spotted this right away.
But I still support Kazaa, it's a fine network, let's get past the/. 'tude and look at the service. While it's a windows only network, it's still doing a great job compared to other file sharing networks.
I still think it beats most other networks hands down. Gnutella, sorry, but it's no Kazaa - i hate booting to windows, but other file sharing networks don't compare.
Of course this could be done for free and open to all operating systems. Linux servers all serving the checksums... at the bottom of the e-mail or as attachment there is checksum.
You click a button in [your favorite mail application, any platform] ; that in turns sends a simple text message, with the crc or checksum and if they match (either the client software, or the server, you choose) they show as matching, moved to a cleared folder, application dependant.
Applications can compete on how they use the results. One good idea could be to filter out non matching results, or to send them to a junk folder - or simply showing a certain icon.
The real key to the system is this: if spammers are creating a crc which is being used over and over to send to multiple clients via redirecters and other cleaver tricks, hit a button and simply vote it spam. Use a weighted system to eventually filter out the same message. But running the headers throught the checksum would stop most spammers since the TO: field would most likely change.
Simple text messaging that can be used by any programmer, and there are many non GPL, examples of how to compare two checksums.
Guessing the server would carry all the checksums, a good idea would be to add an revokation date which can be set client side either defaulted or user configurable.
Really the whole thing is simple. Just block people from mass e-mailing. Test the system for a while then add the spam blocking to see which crc's where voted spam, cross that with the volume of e-mails by that person. Although the system suddenly became huge, but off site computers could do the computing, not the servers.
E-mail is a huge thing. Linux sends e-mails to my wireless phone without any user interaction. The system better be ready for people who use e-mail like an instant message.
Now it comes to mind - if my pop server software (and maybe all isp's) would just check the crc against the server that would save everyone.
Even MS could get into the game with Hotmail and their own MS CRC server...
This is my manifesto:
Get your free hotmail address - Now with hailstorm and E-mail signing - Free (biometrics required)
I would like this because I could just take the key out and set it somewhere, and no one could boot linux, just windows... and since windows can't see my linux partitions, I don't have to worry about losing the important stuff.
Just flip the key for the real OS, and leave the other for roomates, strangers who insist on checking their e-mail.
Nothing worse than changing the stereo receiver to play Dreamcast - pretty cool.
I would miss being able to boot right to Windows from Red Hat 7.1, which I hate, but the little things count right. Having a larger hardware list than Mandrake was nice, except it left one device hanging.
Anyways, sounds cool, even for lamers like me. Admins might want them, but if thinkgeek puts this with a window kit - it's mine. Wire it up to light the active drive....
The first thing I thought of is Star Trek, and that Sci-Fi commercial with someone sliding a uh slider across the screen with their finger.
Someone who is disabled could use this to put the keys where they need them. Maybe they can't use the current keyboard since the buttons are too close together.
Would there be 'screen' savers for this device? Could I use xlock? The screensaver cycles through different languages/character sets and no one has a clue what to hit?
Of course i'd like to pipe X onto it and keep my root console/x session there so I can change stuff really really on the fly.
Don't they know that there is already ways to get books online. I've seen audio books online, that means two people are being ripped off.
They think that digital forms of book in a library is going to cause piracy. It's already out there... but yet libraries can't help people, give away the info thats already on the net.
Books, not mp3s, should be freely available. But I won't see many people fighting to keep the libraries up to date with the rest of society.
Free books, as in beer. That's what Ben Franklin said. That's why he's on the Hundred dammit - he made it possible for us to read in a way, I guess.
Why can't people stop with pollution without a reason. If global warming is 100% fake, then let's still cut car emmisions and etc.
How can we aford to pollute when we have no where else to go? Pollution of any kinda has a direct effect on nature, without global warming thrown into it.
If we were good in the first place, we wouldn't be in this situation now.
Instead we have people worrying about the costs to keep Global Warming at bay.
This becomes annoying when upgrading machines or replacing them.
I had a $5 academic license for Office. When the new computer got built I couldn't install it since this copy was already registered. Even after a call to them, they said I had no way to prove I owned the license.
I think I got brushed off because I only paid $5 for it. The sick thing is, someone else paid big bucks for me to get it that cheap in the first place. Fuck 'em.
I just installed an older version, and really haven't used it since I started using star office and the like.
I actually backed up wma files and not realized that is was pointless since I could no longer play them. No one told me that a file I encoded needed a license to play it. Of course trying to play it got my information send to MS, along with the song name etc. Windows Media Player does this automatically.
I simple don't let that app access the internet anymore. With more MS software that wants to access the internet, the smaller that partition gets.
XP, not for me. Even if it's 'more stable', it's not going to touch my PC. The first time a window pops up saying I'll need XP, all of windows is gone. Adios Red Alert, adios Kazaa, I'll miss you.
"a very interesting article on the implications of Microsoft's.NET technology on open source development. The article heavily quotes Miguel, who "believes that.NET is going to be the dominant development environment for the next 20 years."
Why are we letting this happen?
We are going along with it? Ok!?
It seems that people here don't want.NET, but it seems that we are all going along with it and supporting it.
Seti at home (sorry no at sign, I'm sick of it!) and distributed computing technology inc. are working on computer related projects and dreams.
There is no reason for this too. I hope that we could include some projects dealing with maybe space simulation or something which has real life, real world problems.
I know that there is other projects out there, like someone is doing cancer, and I ran one for a while which worked on nuclear waste, but these aren't half as popular are they? I think if you want to run seti then go do it, I've never uninstalled it. Distributed.net's client runs on my machine all day long, but lets get some NASA projects out.
Run whatever you want. I would like to work on calculating for NASA and maybe even saving some cash for 'em. Working on ways to get to Mars or something would bring me way more satisfaction than listening for an aliens tv signals from 50 years ago.
NASA, dammit get it together, and butter dUBYA up - he's the kinda guy who would rape the rest of us to get a few shuttle launches under his belt. He'd be a spender if it put the money in companies pockets, get the aerospace industry involved. Use FUD or smear to get it off the ground!
We all want Mars, we gotta get it before Bill Gates does.
The same company that makes the windows anti virus software?
Why is it everytime I boot my machine the 'virus shield' program is asking to locate the DNS server? This program has no reason to get online.
Of course I could look at the source, but then they'd find me and throw me in jail for 0wning them.
Oh, and the network associates whose ftp site is out in the open for any kid that wants full registered flagship software? It's been like that for hmmm... 3 or 4 years now. I'm not going to check though : )

Of course I didn't hear that on MSnbc --- the only thing I hear on that channel is Chandra Levy and the phrase 'Microsoft Web Server Software' Its like a really expensive commercial.
Their spin is this: we'll show the MS name 100 times a minute, and act like every computer in the f world is running microsoft software.
Maybe it's just something that Brian Williams character came up with.

Maybe i went to far...
I had one of these and wrote programs on it.
Is there someone using that? Because my brother smashed mine with a hammer.
Has anyone used a KDS monitor from wal-mart?
My local has them, flat screen for around $390 but there is no computer hooked up to it so I can't imagine a beowulf cluster of these things.
But I could turn it on and see something wasn't right, the picture looked funny.
Please a review!
when bill gates is logging in with his backdoor pass and doing what ever he wants with materials.
/. again. I can't prove it, neither can you, unless your BillG and Paul Allen.
Someone say I'm wrong, and I'll insist on posting God is real on
No, they state in the license that if they sue they lose all rights...
Wait that doesn't apply to them, only you.
I guess if open source companies [not Vidomi, FSF and all those guys] don't have a lot of cash they won't go to court.
At first I found this funny but now it seems that it makes mo' better sense. Do software companies want to visit the local court house? I doubt it.

I think I posted this kinda already.
Earlier when there was talk about these networks I suggested GNUTELLA.
Look it up, I don't feel like it.
I was just getting ready to post that.
Maybe they cut it off so he can get 100% bandwidth for pr0n.

Huh? There is different encoders and decoders. Some cost money pal, that's a license.
Xing, Fra...
The whole reason for this event is to take down slashdot and replace all the graphics with "All your base are belong to us"
Isn't that all the dutch do? They took down how many sites and replaced it with AYB?
So, here goes: "All your news for nerds are belong to us"

I don't want anyone to know that I went to said web site.
But over all, if I could say click a button or enter my 'content ID' then I'd be happy to 'donate' my fractions of a cent that would promote a site.
But not sites with any ads, fuck them.
It's a shame because you can pick FreeBSD on the shelf at Best Buy and Staples.

What makes this so different from the box you plug into your phone, and it searches for the lowest rate for your call.
I know that's not voice over IP or anything, but dammit, it'll save you cash. Is that the interest? The money or cool toys?
Stupid question.... forget this post
