Why the hell would I use wine to open e-mail under linux? Linux is not spreading this shit the MS UI is. Get your facts strait. The fault is entirely MS they are counting on this kaos so that they can step forward with the ultra secure win 2003 server and then the Longhorny security solutions. Your are spreading fluff and fud! Yes everyone is going to rush and secure their computers with Longhorny. But as Ben Franklin said "Those who sacrifice freedom for security will gain neither."
No I am just a joe blow linux/ms user. Interesting can procmail be set to trigger a filter based on an attachments file name sig? That would seem to be a good idea in the case of this particular virus. It has too many other possible variants the attachement sig is limited to only 10 variants at present I believe. I am on telus.net so they can't filter anything, they are win 2000 servers. They do not support linux at all. What do you expect from a.NET. Of course if you set up a subnet it is no problem, so their static business customers would be a good target to sell and setup linux routers! Boy are they getting spammed! The local the hospital MS server systems have been taken off line twice in the past week because of worm and virus shit. Fortunately they do not us MS servers for the critical med exam equipement, even though they are being pressured to switch by the local MS political software IT people.
Wow Phillips and Sony are buying out the company that claims patents on TRUSTED SECURE COMPUTING, there is a bigger message here than meets the eye. MS and the hardware partner thing are pulling real shit and they will get away with it because all the user wants is digital video and sound eye and ear candy. Interoperability is not a concern because these shit heads are going to run everything! Users ability to configure and run every single aspect will be controlled from Redmond. Don't believe me just buy a longhorny PC and watch, your copy of every piece of software that you put on it will go through the processor keyed certificate check and you will have no say in what software you can run unless you have got proper keys. You can bet installing freeware and OSS ware will cause all sorts of warning bells and whistles to go off making you think you are going to wreck you computer! These assholes need to be given a lesson by the public just rejecting this shit.
You could use virtual historical characters from skull reconstructs to play the actual individuals. Getting Henry the Eights head out of the grave might be a pain though. Oh no now we might have a real version of Otsi "or however you spell it" the ICE MAN COMETH! A giant spectacle with European Ice man shorties taking on Arnold the Testosterone Giant. That would be a hoot.
I have been recieving it from spammers that have my old spam catcher address. The same one that I use as a/. address. It is a hoot finally seeing their real IP addresses! They are going to pay for their stupidity. My penis is already big enough and I have some friends who love to collect spammers true idents then give them an internet ride to hell not just with dos but with some real fun stuff! The ones who I have back traced by the routing characterists of the server hops are very obvious. So far I have identified 4 of the worst that have been spamming my in box for over a year. Some of them I have reported for sending me unsolicited mail in the past but their hiding was good enough to make them untraceable. I now have their friendly e-mail addresses and some interesting server connect paths to their ex-outlook mailers on my logs! I hope there are other spam busters doing the same thing by taking real advantage of what this virus is now doing. You have to do it quickly because you can bet the spam bots they have setup will be the first to get patched. Unlike slow moving what is happening with corporate IT departments that run things like nuclear plants. The spammers really do try to keep their nets patched!
I am recieving sobig shit at a rate of 3 to 4 per friggin' hour right now, and you say it will get worse I am supprised it has not crashed the whole net yet! It is time to isolate Microsoft user from the rest of the net! HA HA HA they are a frigging menace.
It is time OSS people started giving out awards! Can we start to make some sensible music software? This is an aspect of Linux that is, thought not overlooked, got great possibilities. I have always wanted a music notation-recording interface for Linux that does not put you into dependancy hell! I personally would pay for such software. I am sure Ernie ball could help with marketing. The kind of interface I am talking about is a stripped down Linux distro that could be used by composers, and musicians to record to hard drive, notate conventional notation and interface the notation to say a notation integrated Abi word for editing purposes. It would need a simple desk top that did everything in an integrated way. Midi support would not be as important as reliable recording and intelligent non midi triggered notation. If the midi must be there (because the composers or musician is musically illiterate) then design it so the notation interface will work without out midi dependancy first! (Good music notation without the need to parse a latext like or midi generated script first). Easy 24/96 two channel recording through the right sound card, like an Audigy. Of course a kernel that would be custom for a set configuration. Therefore the hardware needs would be very specific. This would make the linux distro a little different by demanding the use of only supported devices. Rather harsh but necessary until other drivers became reliable. I would gladly pay for such a device. I am certain music schools and other musicians I know would too. The only objection one can hear to this is well why don't you just buy a Mac! Point well taken but being able to use a PC to do what only MACs and really expensive Windows configs could do would help Linux in the academic music field and in the music and entertainment field in general.
Well if it did MS would certainly be in real big shit. Microsoft have started to have way to much leverage getting away with this kind of shit! Any other company in America would be getting raked over the coals by now.
Since when has being asexual stopped humans from putting on a display, for that matter whats love got to do with it. I am talking about fundimental reproductive cycles and (so called) primitive methods and techniques.
I mean timing for egg and sperm release, also I do not mean to see light I mean to sense light. It seems to me that there are many mechanisms involed and they are certainly worth studying!
Why do I talk to myself so much...Because sometimes it is the only way to carry on an intelligent conversation
Bioluminesence is a key survival adaptation in the Ocean. I would suspect that these sponges use this for display/territorial mating purposes. This is in essence the ultimate form of communication. Kind of an Ocean bottom laser rock concert where the participants get turned on or off by the flashing lights. Kind of works with humans too!
What is more interesting to me is; What are the chemical light trigger mechanisms? Could these be used in switching? Sort of a biochem based switching device. There is much that we can learn from nature. The technical application of that knowledge is the real challenge.
mycomputer\controlpanel\addremoveprograms\msnmessa nger Click add remove and put up with the are usual "are you really sure you want to do this Dave?" routine. Bingo no more problems. If that doesn't work cfdisk the rest of the shit starting with any ms format file systems like ntfs, or fat32 etc you will be amazed at the amount of wasted space you had on your computer!
"And make lots of superfluous architectural changes to make patching hard." Is a Microsoft trick and is just plain stupid from a coding perspective. Too many bugs to trap. Besides samba is GPL'd so to do this kind of shit reflects badly on any GNU ware or other ware that is GPL. There are better ways to fight, like a hoard of cooperating Linux consultants and Unix sysadmins refusing to support SCO and recommending other software, and services.
"There is no nefarious invasion of privacy here, the only thing that is analyzable is what people explicitly post to a public forum..."
OK I put on my tinfoil hat but just suppose on alt.binaries.whackz.bill as your post sniffer reads something like "Check out ftp.puffandstuff works good to run lots of office_XP ware" Then the software will just not do anything or cause a file to be created? I highly dought MS would pass up something that could help keep track of crackz, and their secrets. You are a little bit to sweet in your post to believe anything like this, but it seems to me that you are more of a spin doctor than an deep throat insider. I do understand that MS has a social engineering and social image department but I believe their security people have more say recently.
You should work for Microsoft that is what they do to competitors! Bad idea FSF and GNU have to take the moral high ground or risk I told you so shit. SCO is doing a perfectly good job of screwing themselves. Your suggestion wouldn't help.
Why do I talk to myself so much?....Sometimes it is the only way to have an intelligent conversation!
Oh joy so now the f'ing cause of this shit is going to become for ever frozen in time! Sounds like Longhorn will be the only way to actually fix this bullshit. Well you morons go out and pay the idiots that created this mess more money my main box on moz in slack 9 is getting pounded with.pifs of this shit, all from x outlook source. Interesting that some of the worst spam bot morons are now easy to track. Now I have a clean certain record of the semi pro spammers trying sell me penis enlargement pills. Amazing some are stupid enough to use the auto address in MS outlook, rather than the pro tools that you can hide with. But then again the tool would have to pay for the tools. So I guess some the persistent spammeres are not that smart afterall. Watch out you are about to find yourselves in dos hell until you change ISPs again!
Study your quarry first, is the most important law of hunting. If MS is using tracking software to watch for key phrases like 'XP rocks' then lets change the reference context. I am sure that they are looking for proof positive that intelligent life uses their OS, the info on those who have cracked it and boast about it. I have seen alot of Usenet posts from some very silly crackers who can open up just about any MS ware like a tin can!
We however here at/. are a wonderfull mix of dedicated computer gurus, intelligent social misfits, unix centered geeks, social activists, proffessional people and just about every other kind of online addict. So we can start trends to create new speak that can confound MS in the effort to search for intelligent life and crackers on Windows.
So lets develope some new speak counter measures that will screw them up big time. After all alot of you guys are responsible for software language extentions that make writing code a real joy! I am sure that we can come up with layers of obfuscation that will be clear to none but those that are in the know (IHMO)LOL WTF are we talking about. The new speak gurus of online jaberwocky can do better than a piece of software written by Microsoft any day with new prosumer infospeak.
This has nothing to do with security and everything to do with the arrogant insecure design decisions that MS have in past and are currently implimenting. My conclusion is that they want Windows to be insecure so that people will switch to "Trusted Computing" or what I call the Microsoft final solution 'Longhorn' Palladium or whatever they will wind up calling their 'secure' version of Windows. Form the article;
"The virus grabs e-mail addresses from several different locations on a computer, including the Windows address book and Internet cache, and sends e-mails to each one. The virus also forges the source of the message using a randomly selected e-mail address so that the infected message appears to come from someone else."
How long before this this kind of shit happens in Inet content itself. I understand that 99.9% of web content created by trusted computing software users will be doing precisely what it proports to do. I am sure that your web content is not malicious. Can you tell me that in the future without having processor lock and key systems you will be safe on the net using Windows? Microsoft counts on the fact that very soon no one that doesn't use trusted computing tech keys and locks will be safe. This is the only way they will be able to impliment secure computing, just that it can screw web content other than signed trusted stuff is an added bonus. Read between the lines of what they are really doing, it is just another monopoly ploy and has precious little to do with real security.
OK here is a /. MS bash from a bash user.

What I think we will see with the Fritz chip.NET will be a DNS that first asks "where do you want to go today" then tells you need to obtain the key!
But Arnold is in reality a closet liberal Republican! How the hell can you not vote for him. Someone who blows people to bits in movies like Kindergarden Cop and gets a huge pre-school audiance, talk about a moral role model for kids. Of course now we have 5 year olds taking daddys gun to kindergarden to blow away that little brat that always gets all the attention. But what the heck! Arnold only does in the bad guys, so if he is governor we might finally see sensible gun laws. It is time we alowed unrestricted gun use and ownership for everyone, even kids then law and order would not be an issue. I think I will go into the firearms manufacturing business, it has one hell of a good future. With the stance that the MPAA is starting to take Hollywood is doomed might as well just shoot it out Terminator style! OLD SAW "Guns don't kill people, kids with guns do" Of course I do not make an age distinction between a 5 year old kid and one that is 50! America is getting more fucked all the time because along with reasonable debate and discourse it has lost touch with reality when someone like Arnold can be backed for governor by the MPAA! Regan was different he only wanted the US to nuke Vietnam while he was California governor. With Arnold we might see things like 20 years for movie pirates, and relaxed cocaine possesion laws for movie producers!
Yes by deliniating a protected mode from an install mode, and making surfing the web and using e-mail just that. Any web content that pops something up with you need to install this to view, hear or save content should be treated with contempt and the.NET web authors and software writers should be shot. Why does MS not include a pdf reader? Because they are trying to.NET screw them! That last worm was rediculous and a direct result of the windows UI.NET stupidity! Any kind of.exe file should not be alowed to run instantly if it addresses registry, and the windows core sys directories wihout authorisation, and hides itself.
These rules could easily be encorporated into the Windows OS but are not because MS is counting on Communist style computing with the future processor encoded web content controls! This will effectively be used to screw the Adobe acrobat web content system and create a non competitive web content creation advantage. Morons in businesses that post nothing but MS enbcoded file formats to the web will rule the day perminently. All web content will eventually only accessable and usable through the MS OS. Completely defeating the real value of the net, unless you use Windows. That is the.NET strategy just go to the MS web site and look at the hype you will catch on.
How the hell did parent get moded funny. Are you guys going brain dead? The sense that homeless are becoming a burden that needs to be controlled is the issue. The republicans have gone way too far this time. Yes there is shit and sympathy but there is also sensibility. The more you try to pidgeon hole humans the more you will find a resistance to the mould. This has everything to do with the reality that what is proposed can hide truth. The American Government is becoming more Communist like all the time! If these measures are used to control the less fortunate among us then we will face a reality which Dickens addressed best with the line: "Are there no prisons are there no work houses!" If you truly open your mind your heart is sure to follow and the great truths of humanity will no longer be a mystery
