couldnt get the movie from the site.... but with bit torrent I got 145k down and 3-8 k up (Still dont know what I was uploading)... but it worked very well for me.
This is just the thing that the hackers were waiting for, an open door into millions of computer systems. People havent patched because they either dont know about it, or dont know how.
Maybe the next worm should drain their paypal, epay, egold, and bank accounts into an account in the Caymans... format their hard drive just for good mesure and force people to open their eyes.
Today I ran across 2-3 holes (cross site scripting with remote execution, sql injection with code exposure, and account hijacking) in the blackboard system which I am currently working to exploit... for a proof of concept. if this is the same system your talking about, I want to talk with you. maybe with enough amunition they will listen to the both of us more than they would listen to one.
is that they better make sure that this system is super secure... this much information, couppled with their SS# as Im sure it will be indexed, just screams "HACK ME!!!".
just think, a whole school full of social security numbers, names, addresses, dob's, and (mostly) clean credit... Ill get that 21inch lcd yet.
I'm fairly certain if you asked your radiostation to play local bands they would
Try it... let me know how that works out for you...
The last time I tried to get my local band played, I was told that the band wasnt on their playlist, and if he put it on the air, he would get fired....
Why do you think that your local radio station still plays the same 5 year old songs, stopping only occasionaly to throw in the new stuff? their are THOUSANDS of bands out there who would die for the air time... but their not going to see a second of it.
I worked for Digital Research, we did support for all the DR peripherals, IO cards, mice, sound and video... Lots of jumpers to configure, lots of crap to support...
Well, one day I get a call from this guy, and his mouse wont work,... says that the mouse is jumpy on the screen... "Dirty track ball" I think, so I have him clean that... still jerky,... "Check Settings" I think, settings are fine... so we reinstall the drivers, reconnect the mouse, reboot the system,... Still jerky!...
So I call over my lv2 tech and his partner, and they go through all the same procedures.... for 45 minutes, were working this guy through navigating in windows with a mouse whose pointer jumps from one side to the other...
The guy is frustrated, pissed at the mouse, pissed at us... and he vents... "I Just don't get this, Why do you sell this mouse if it doesn't work!!! I mean, it's not even designed right, the buttons are hard to click, and the label is upside down..."
My ears peaked, so I took a chance... "Sir," as politely as I could muster, "When you look at the mouse, as your using it... describe what it looks like for me, tell me how your using it."
With a frustrated sigh, he responds, "Well, I hold the mouse, and move the ball with my thumb, and click on the buttons, just like you're supposed to!"
The dumb ass was holding a normal trackball mouse in his hand, upside down, and moving the ball with his thumb. I got him on mute as fast as I could... both me and the other techs, and everyone else who had gathered, burst out in cries of pain and agony.
It will be interisting to see who they sue next. Their going after this small.com because they know they cant fight, they know theyll roll right over them... set a precident, and then go after big dogs.
Our only hope is that the big dogs back the little guy.
I think this is a great idea... but it would need some further development to make the product stronger... hear me out.
Imagine if we could shrink down GPS to this level, or at the very least, to the size of the pet microchip. Would you be opposed to having the chip implanted into your childs clothes and personal items in order to find them in case of an abduction??? or to keep tabs on them in general?
Lets not forget who were dealing with here.... these are the same people who claimed confiscation of thousands of cdroms in a raid, when in fact it was just several fast cd burners.... their justifaction of the false numbers... These burners were really fast, thus they were equivalent to thousands of "Normal" cd burners...
they probably just got it to run on a couple of systems and then multiplied that by the number of users on the p2p net.
when I go to www.geourl.org or any link in the article, I am redirected to my LOCALHOST !!! the only way I know this is Im running a local server... at first I thought they were pointing to me:)
Slashdot Mirror
He fails to mention that these teenage hackers are more qualified, despite their lack of degrees, than most of the Redmond coders.
It seems that the comparison between the two universities is not an apples to apples comparison.

You just need a bigger pipe.

email me.
Im game, but what if the sploit is sql? or a cross site scripting hole??? what does that fall under?
This is starting to just get silly... How far is SCO going to push this?
I can host...
High-Rise perverts can take it to a whole new level.
What if this is a hit? What if this catches on in all schools and becomes as advanced as some of us geeks could make it if WE were doing it.
Then what will the colleges do??? would your attendance be based not on your application, but on where you rank in some SQL Query?

but Im rambling now, I need coffee...
the link to the article is broken and should be THIS
you know, Ive heard the "Cup Holder" Story a million times too... but Ive fielded one of those myself...
And one case where the computer had caught fire...
And one case where the surge protector wasnt pluged in... "Is the computer pluged in", "Well yes...".... well NO!!!
And one case, I shit you not, where a guy took a hack saw to a PCI video card to make it fit in an AGP slot...
Ive seen much of the darker side of the tech support field... its not pretty...
I worked for Digital Research, we did support for all the DR peripherals, IO cards, mice, sound and video... Lots of jumpers to configure, lots of crap to support...
... Still jerky!...

2 days later, I quit... that was just too much.

I wouldnt.
easier than scanning a retena A La Minority Report.
Just imagine walking through the mall and haveing target ads through interactive billboards pusing products to you based on the socks your wearing...
also, how long before we have to start registering our pants??? Will Microsoft actualy come out with the long fabled "Smarty Pants"?

I guess this means that I cant download and rip a copy of TurboTax so that I can lie on my tax returns while burning it for family????
Crap.
- It caused a massiave influx of other online services.
- It served to bring the MP3 market to the public eye. (in its final year, napster grew by millions of users)
- It took away arguably the most relyable and fastest way of finding MP3s, but opened the way for the second rate services to rapidly expand.
I also believe that closeing napster ultamately hurt the RIAA...
