Geez, Dalnet and EFnet are beginning to sound like Apple - they're *always* "going out of business" or something like that.
Wait, the difference is that Apple is still on the net. Heh.
Alarmist crap article!

Apparantly "ALL" web servers are *not* open to this "exploit" - here's a post someone made on macintouch.com:
When I read the article on MacInTouch about the TRACE security flaw, I immediately checked our Mac based servers to find out if they support the TRACE option in HTTP. Here's a summary of the servers and the OPTIONS they support. These results were shown after connecting to the server via telnet:
%telnet www.domain.com 80 Trying 123.123.123.123 Connected to www.domain.com. Escape character is '^]'. OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.domain.com
* WebSTAR 3.x answers: 405 Method Not Allowed
* WebSTAR 4.4 and 4.5 allows GET, POST, HEAD
* WebSTAR V allows GET, POST, HEAD
* Apache/1.3.27 (Personal WebSharing MacOS X 10.2.3): GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE
* Apache/1.3.27 (iTools - MacOS X Server 10.2.2): GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE
* Apache/1.3.27 (iTools - MacOS X Server 10.2.2 - PHP 4.x): GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, CONNECT, OPTIONS, PATCH, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, UNLOCK, TRACE
When connecting to a system that has PHP 4.x installed, a lot more options are available.
This only shows which options are supported by which servers, however as the exact details of the flaw were not published, it's hard to say if you can use those options to exploit a server.
Wow. People have to enter the area code now. Big deal. We've been doing this for gawd knows how long with cell phones. I have my home phone service through Vonage, and I have to type in the full 11 digit number anyway.
Must be a slow news day. We'll know it's a slow news day when we see this article show up again later.
...of Slashdot stories seem to be duplicates, but the vast majority of us don't really seem to care. We just click "reload" and wait for new stuff.
Otherwise, I really haven't had any problems with SMS. I've got AT&T Wireless (GSM/GPRS service) and I think only twice have I had messages show up more than 10 minutes later. I have Nagios set to send me SMS messages if something goes down, and I always get them right away.
* Buy used CDs from Rasputin's Records, just make sure they're fairly new and in good shape. * Go to The Wherehouse * Take advantage of old policy and manager that your brother sells pot to and exchange used CDs that suck for new CDs that you want.....profit! Well, have lots of CDs, anyway. That's how I made my CD collection. Now, everything has been ripped to mp3 and the original CDs are in a box in storage. I got tired of having them get scratched/stolen/lost.
The Wherehouse also had a policy of accepting any coupon from other stores. One summer we found a big pile of "3 free movie rental" coupons.
I don't think that I left the house all freekin summer, and boy, did we see a lot of crappy movies.
Looks like Lexmark won round one. I hope they don't get too much further.
At any rate, this is just *another* example of how stupid the DMCA is and how it's being used way out of its scope. How many more examples do we need? Geez..
"There's public transportation (~$30 per month), car pooling ($negligible), a $1000 used car"
Great. With that used car, you still have insurance (which in CA is a friggin rip-off) and maintenance, and $2 bridge tolls. ($5 if you take the Golden Gate Bridge. yes, FIVE DOLLARS to cross the BRIDGE)
$30/mo for public transportation? Please. I can't afford to buy a $700k condo in San Francisco, so I have to commute to work. BART raised fairs. It's now $3.75 *each WAY* for me to get to work. That's just BART. Then I have to pay $1 for MUNI and $2.25 for Caltrain. That's $7 each way. $14 round trip.
5 days a week.
Public transportation may be cheaper in some places, but chances are if you live where public transportation is going to be cheaper for you, then you're paying a hell of a lot more in rent.
It just ain't the case anymore. What really sucks is the fact that I can't save reciepts and use commuting/transportation expenses as a tax write-off. My company doesn't subscribe to "commuter check" or any similar program, because I work for a lame contracting company.
I'm just happy to have a job in this industry these days.
I run a small web hosting/internet service provider out of my apartment. No, I'm not kidding. heh. Got a great price on the T1, and this is a heck of a lot cheaper than renting office space.:-)
Perhaps they should have SAVED MONEY just in case something happened. I know, that's really not that easy for some people, but come on, if you're making over $100,000/year and can still say that you cannot afford to put aside *something* into savings, then you need some serious financial counceling.
An entire freekin winery in Sonoma County is by no means affordable to the average techie. My heart just *weeps* for these poor Marketing Directors... *sniffle* working for free..
Now when someone blunders onto IRC and says something like "i want the irc app for Mac just like mIRC!!" they can friggin HAVE mIRC DAMMIT!! %#$#!#

You typed:"Go to espn [epsn.com] to see this thing in action."
I went to epsn.com - another "search engine" owned by domain squatters. They call themselves "megago" this time.
However, it dropped down a Mozilla warning field!! Your only options are "Cancel" or "OK." Obviously, "OK" is the default, so if you hit return, off you go to some other website. Now that is a bunch of crap.grr..
Seriously, I think if the Mafia went after spammers, we'd be seeing a whole heckofa lot less spam. The drawback to that is there probably isn't enough ocean to hold all of the spammers they'll give concrete shoes to.
Can we colonize Mars with spammers that lost a lawsuit?:)

Well, in a sick sort of way it does bring truth to the "kids who play violent video games grow up and kill people" crap. heh.

Get the certs if you can. Why? There are *so many* people that are out of work, *anything* like that could give you the edge that you need.
People that have no certs but "have experience" are a dime a dozen.
Go the extra mile to stand out.

You can always get them for free - they're $0.10 to send, unless you opt for the $4.99 package, giving you a bucket of 100 to send.
:)
It's not really a package, it's a default feature.

9 minutes later, and it's Slashdotted already.
I guess those water cooled things *still* don't hold up.
Some web server somewhere has probably just evaporated in a cloud of steam.
"Static Control Components" buckled under the threat, and agreed to stop making the chips.

Check this out - that's just the stuff in the kitchen.
My power bill averages about $130-$180. It just depends on how stupid your local power company.
So far this is not information that has been confirmed to be true.
Let's just wait until after the keynote on Tuesday, shall we?
Well, I'm pretty sure anything that comes out of a meat-lab would taste better than the crap I got at Arby's last time I ate there. :P
:)
Unless, of course, they've been making lab-grown meats the whole time, and that's why Arby's is so cheap.
"I was hit in the head by a minivan 3 years ago(I'm 16 now). Since then I have very few memories of when I was bored."
Whew. I thought I was abnormal for not being able to remember stuff from when I was sitting there, bored out of my skull...
Perhaps they should have SAVED MONEY just in case something happened.

My heart just *weeps* for these poor Marketing Directors... *sniffle* working for free..
Someone 4 posts down was modded +4 Insightful for saying the same damn thing. Geez, wake up..
Anyway, this is correct. Spammers already troll anti-spam lists looking for information on new anti-spam techniques just so they can slip around them.
Now when someone blunders onto IRC and says something like "i want the irc app for Mac just like mIRC!!" they can friggin HAVE mIRC DAMMIT!! %#$#!#
I went to epsn.com - another "search engine" owned by domain squatters. They call themselves "megago" this time.

Yesh. I think that charging $995 might be just a wee bit more tolerable.
Hrm. Maybe we can get savekaryn.com to redirect funds to Transmeta. Hmm
Now this poor guy can go back to Russia and stay with his family instead of winding up in San Quentin prison.
:P
I'd say that's a good thing.
Skinny programmers rarely do well in prison.
Apparantly Ralph Raslky or whatever the name of that idiot spammer with the $750k house is has called in thugs to go after anti-spammers.
Hrm. Now we have anti-anti-spammers. I guess the police department that gets the thugs would be the anti-anti-anti-spammers?
This is going to be ugly. Heh.
I don't want to SUE them.
:P
:)
I want to SHOOT them.
Seriously, I think if the Mafia went after spammers, we'd be seeing a whole heckofa lot less spam.
