hey peep, the server just checks for the return code of the dir request... 'cause you DON'T give out an 404, it assumes that the exploit worked, and continues with the tftp part (where it makes you d/l that goddamn admin.dll)...
I was pricing some Sun kit this afternoon, and switching from one of their licensing options to another can easily add $6000 to the price of the system, and that was going from Standard to Gold. I think there's a level above Gold!
Yeah, hell... if you take the mega-platinum-level, you'll get a room in Scott McNealy mansion. "If you happen to pass by"...
Anyone good any good ideas what you're really paying for in this? $1995 sounds like quite a lot for a year of support... I'd sure hope the support services were somehting VERY extraordinary
Picture this: on-site support, preferably by a brunette sitting on your lap and fixing the cluster... =)
If someone recalls the articles in Wired and Time (and prolly a huge load of other magazines) he'll probably remember that this boom started in Finland a couple of years ago.
As SMS-messages are usually cheaper than a phone call, it's a way more convenient method of communication than the pay-per-second call.
Additionally it gives one the possibility to talk (err... type) about stuff one's not comfortable about talking face-to-face (err... voice-to-voice). At least in Finland typical SMS-messaging users can be described as teenagers, whom (as we all remember) have needs for this type of communication.
<SARCASM>My point? Just trying to tell everyone that they're following Finland's example - again.</SARCASM>
I don't recon IBM has made any REAL investments into Linux technology... On the other hand what they HAVE done is invested into Java - and heavily...
IBM's server division has been leading the way for who knows how long... Or do you really think the PS/2 or Aptiva-series are killer-products? Their Netfinity-series, RS/6k & larger products are quite well-known and make lots of $$$ for their "Global Services"-division.
I don't see that IBM has changed their targets at all... What I wonder is why do they try to get a share in the small-business world... there's no room there for IBM's pricing structure and huge margins...
Risto Siilasmaa (CEO of DataFellows) commented the issue at the Information Society-seminar (which Linus Torvalds attended) in Helsinki on Wednesday: "My strongest guess is that Transmeta doesn't actually do anything."
There is some speculation that Transmeta's employees just hang around at their office and sell the company for a good price after this fuzz. Finnish philosopher Pekka Himanen mentioned that he has actually been in front of Transmeta's office and stated that the office has darkened windows and no visitors are allowed there.

>Switzerland takes theis to the extreme, actually requiring all their households to have a government issued machine gun...
:)...
That would of course be an assault rifle. A machine gun would be a bit overkill

...but you probably figured that out by now...
i was trying (and failing miserably) to make a remark about the G33G typo =)
G3? Is this yet another new, hyped up, mobile data transfer technology? Who's specifying it? Why haven't we heard of it? Is this Ericsson's revenge?
Where did you get that from? Only gamers use the TV-modulator for it - all the 'professionals' got a 10" monitor...

what if you did something that hurts Bill's feelings? A SWAT team?
