1. It looks like there's a copy of "Worm.Bagle.Z" on GCC's server: gcc.gnu.org / ml/gcc-prs/2004-05/msg00008 / the_message.scr (don't open the URL from Windows, or at all. My AV detected the file as "W32.Beagle.gen", right after I downloaded it).
2. Search the engine for "worm" or "trojan" and you'll get tons of them.
But there *are* legitimate uses of Flash - like in youtube for example. My solution: use Firefox with FlashBlock: every flash object is turned into a "f" icon, which you have to click to enable. This rocks.
If this was the case we'd know about it: the "compiled" code it pretty easy to open and read (even if it's still a JS spaghetti mess of a code). No info can be hidden inside.
Ever heard of steganography? I'm not saying they do it, but it absolutely can be done. For example, names of generated variables, functions, etc. can bear (encrypted) information.
Google Suggest doesn't show you computer-generated, but user-generated data. The results directly depend on the users' queries.
Since it's user generated content, you can compare it to... blogs on Blogger. Can they sue Google for hosting a blog that links to cracks? I believe they can, and Google will probably take that blog offline.
Bluesecurity would have done better if they'd sent the opt-out requests to the companies being advertised.
That's EXACTLY what they did. Problem is, the major spammers (like those that fought back) also run the advertised businesses. Most spam you get about viagra et al, does not promote legit businesses!
What they should do, is team up with Google. Ask them to allow sound files in Google Base, then upload all of their sounds there. This will get them a free, (almost-)non-slashdottable, mirror.
foreach (var item in collection) {
Console.WriteLine(item); }
This example makes no sense. Is "collection" a collection of objects or something more concrete? If it's an object collection, s/var/object/ in your example. The compiler inferes the variable type at compile-time, not run-time. So "var" will become "object" anyway.
var i=5;// same as int i=5; i="str";// won't work, because i is an int.
The real news here, is that the product is now called "Google Desktop" -- and not "Google Desktop Search". This is a major change towards a Google desktop OS.
You don't have to open everything. Just the stuff that is a derrivative of the GPLed program.
So, if I take some GPLed (not LGPL) code, extend it, and embed it in a much larger application (use it as a library) - what do I have to release under the GPL, the entire application or just my extension to the original? And were is the line between them? The GPL (which I have read a few times) doesn't make it very clear for non-lawyers.
When there's an article on NYT, and you want to read it without registration, just search for the title in Google News. Once you have Google News as the referrer, you get free access to the first page of the article - which is usually enough.

Not a solution in search of a problem, but maybe a solution you (and others) don't need. You have SCP/SSH set up, 99.9% of the people don't.
Google also have such a thing, can't remember what they call it but there's a Firefox extension. So it's nothing new either.

...never had to show anything but the colour of my passport (which is bugandy - the English colour)
;-)
Once you say "the colour of my passport" you don't really have to say which one it is

-Noam.
None of those attacks (DOS) could have been done without the use of thousands of zombie machines.
So basically, if people use modern operating systems like Linux, instead of DOS, we'll be safer?
Here's a different way of looking at it:

When I tried using a 5-char username (to match my /. username) for a Gmail account, I got this message:
Sorry, your username must be between 6 and 30 characters long.
Why do they let this "S. Claus <claus@gmail.com>" dude have it?
I apologize; this was intended as a joke, not anything else. The joke is that GTA is supposedly anti-parents... never mind ;-)
Isn't it against their interests?

OpenOffice can create PDFs.
Google - here's your chance to support open-source even more.
Or maybe they don't want to touch software patents, because these are evil.
It looks like Sony is in it just for some positive PR, to cover for the DRM mess they made.
I think it invites a massive fraud potential which not only drains money, but bandwidth.
Yeah. Google should mirror Firefox download servers to keep them up.
Go ahead and troll rate me for calling Firefox users/developers leet if you want.
It's spelled 1337.
Troll!

Some of us nerds have interests and skills beyond pure technology, Linux, and programming.
That phenomenon must stop, ASAP.
