If most of the data that Xupiter monitors is the websites you visit (like most spyware) then how can it expect to collect a decent amount of information if its toolbar causes people's computers to crash so often?
Well I can't read Danish (or speak either), but I don't think the article mentioned what distribution was choosen and why. It would be interesting to know. At least to me.
While this idea sounds like it might be rather slow paced, I think this would be a great idea for an advanced network security class. The class is divided up into teams that is responsible for admin'ing a server. They have to keep it up while attacking the other team's machines. You get to learn about system admin as well as actual hacking techniques and defenses. I wish my school had a class like this...
Wonder how big of a logic bomb it really was...

Why did he think that his logic bomb could affect the company's stock price enough for him to make a reasonable profit on his put options?
Maybe he was just so egotistical that he thought his systems were that important? I am sure a company as big as Painewebber would have a decent backup and recovery plan. Well, then again that is probably assuming too much.
Also, I wonder how the estimate of 3 million in damages was arrived at? I suspect this might be the company making this numbers up. Maybe one one of the files he deleted had the number 3 million on it....
Actually a few years ago, I got the chance to ask Henry Rollins this question. He laughed and said that Danzig was a good friend of his. He also added that Danzig did a lot of martial arts and would beat the crap out of him.
WORADECH KAIMART REMEMBERS the hotel fire in the Thai beach resort of Pattaya, southeast of Bangkok, in 1997 that killed more than 100 people. But in August, Thailand-based 7-Eleven convenience stores will put the ball on shelves in their 1,800 stores nationwide.
Huh, that's funny, with this guys name, I would have expected to see these on sale exclusively at K-mart, not 7-Eleven.
I always determined how good a game is by asking the question, "Would I skip class to play this?".
Can't see that happening with this- would you skip class to play at going to class?
From the website: Virtual U is a caricature of real academic life grounded in authentic conceptual structures and data.
Silly me, I always thought academic life was a caricature of reality already, how could they caricaturize it further?
All the reviews I have read have been glowing, which means that JonKatz will probably hate it and go off on some tangent like the Telegraph reviewer claiming its an anti-fascist cautionary tale or some crap like that.
Now taking bets on how savage his review will be....
From the article: "BT owns what it calls the Hidden Page patent, which was filed in the U.S. in 1976, granted in 1989 and isn't due to expire until 2006"
Does anyone else think that is an inordinate amount of time between the filing and the granting of the patent? Maybe this is why BT forgot they even owned the patent... Maybe this is why they seem to be acting all pissy about the whole thing?
Large corporate interests usually have only one interest: themselves.
Mind you, you can say the same thing about most everything. In fact, this makes me think that the musicians also have an angle- the article hinted at how they want to protect their ownership of their music. They might have other, less popular reasons as well to go after the RIAA: can we say money?
I have seen mentions of the Ultima and Bard's Tale series, but what about the Might and Magic series from the 80's (I am of course deliberately neglecting the ones released in the past couple of years).
Anybody have fond memories of trying to crack the inner sanctum?

Reckon most readers here don't know who the hell Gary Glitter is. But if I had mod points, I would put you up as +1 funny.
From what it sounds like, I would rather watch commercials than this 'live variety show'.

with Mozilla/Galeon/whatever....
Anyone else having difficulty with those drop down boxes at the top?
Makes you wonder, why pay for commercials during prime time news, when you can be the news for so much cheaper?
