But the real reason that we aren't going to see a whole lot of these attacks is because the payload just isn't high enough. After spending millions of dollars to produce the stuff, expending a couple chemists who died in the shitty-ass lab in afghanistan producing it you've only killed a couple people. It's much cheaper, easier and kills a lot more people to just set off a bomb in some building.
They can do it cheaper if they make heroin. People would be paying them to get it! The killrate isn't high but when you have your customers hooked they will keep trying to kill themselves.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a distributed.net victory about now? Crack that RC5-64 code and show folks that a backdoor can be broken by bad guys via brute force?
Distributed.net is the backdoor! It just takes some time, and a fair amount of computers...
This is just another example of the fact that at school, students have _NO_ rights, plain and simple. First amendment? Doesn't apply in school. Freedom of expression? Also doesn't apply.
makes me think of this quote
"Students?" barked the Archchancellor.
"Yes, Master. You know? They're the thinner ones with the pale faces? Because we're a *university*? They come with the whole thing, like rats --"

Livermore just got the OK to put out an RFP for a 70 Teraflop machine for delivery sometime around 2004. LANL is getting a 30 Teraflop machine in about 2 years which will be built by Compaq.
one substantial hit in 1,000,000 years. That gives you the odds of an asteriod hitting you tommorow of 1 in 365,000,000
But it would kill 5,000,000,000 people. That's an average of 5000 every year.
So the chance that an asteroid kills you beats the chance that an airplane-crash kills you.
I have a Kodak DC280 camera. Will the DOOM and MAME ports run on my DC280
No.
You can take excellent pictures but you can't play doom.
So it's a useless camera.
In other words, it's Guido's last chance to fix the language. Don't you mean his first chance? Anyway I don't agree; Python isn't broken. You can do a lot in a few lines. And after that you can still read it and know what it does.
I agree with the person here who suggested that computer users seem to be the least likely group of people to do drugs. I have found that to be the case also.
The programmers I know drink lots of coffee. Most of them smoke and all of them drink beer. What drugs they take on weekends I don't know. And despite what Hemos says in the intro, alcohol is hardcore.
The problem is remembering the string of random characters for the account you haven't used in two months. I use The Public DNS as dns server for my domain. For 6 months there was no need to change anything. Now I have to change my IP address. And I can't remember my password. Some Linux or dns term, phonetic spelling in dutch with maybe a number. I tried over 60 passwords, haven't got it yet. The Public DNS has a password reset service but they haven't reset a password for over a year. The service is free so I can't complain too hard.

Here in the Netherlands we also don't have unmetered calls. Interesting side effect: there are now free providers. They live from a percentage of the metered calls. This shows that the telephone company makes so much many from these calls that they can give some of it away!
Personally I hate metered calls and thats why I have cable (not because it's faster because here it isn't)

It was funny 10 years ago, it still is.
I want to use IPFW but it would take a lot of rules.
200 users with www/mail/other
This would give me 600 rules in my IPFW?
There must be a smarter way to do this.

RFP?

pro: - it looks good?
- the explosives fit in a small car?
con: - price
- safety
- lot's of angry people

Whether changing the language alone will quell critics remains to be seen
but they can allways try...

Perhaps the icon for for the slashdot reruns isn't ready yet.
The icon for the followup quickies also wasn't finished in time.
The are starting at $1000 a domain. So they need 50000 little ones and the more expensive domains will be their profit.
If they earn $200 a name, they have to sell 250.000 names. Rather unlikely. They will have to do some serious domain squatting to make a profit.
Find out who's behind this and report their children. For being under the dangerous influence of some dumb adults.
