    Easiest thing to do is just not to trust any email you receive that deals with important matters such as a bank account, say you do your online banking with YourBank and receive an email that claims to be from them, if you can't immediately tell it's fake.. just go to your browser and manually type in the url for the bank (or use a bookmark), if there's no notification of whatever problem is described in the email, it's definitely fake.

  3. Re:EVE-Online is mostly time-sinks on Eve Online Hits 100K Subscribers · · Score: 1

    I started playing EVE again (on a new account) about a week ago, I played it before back in 2003 and now it seems like a totally different game to me.

    Back in '03 I did the mining thing for my money, which wasn't all that fun in the end, I did like the PVP though. So when I started this time around I had one goal: no mining whatsoever, and outside of the tutorial where you get taught different aspects of the game I have met that goal.

    So right now I have around 20 million isk, which I figure isn't that bad for someone who's played for a week, all earned through combat missions against npc pilots. I should be able to afford around 30 reasonably well equipped frigates with that money, which I'll probably need once I decide to go engage other players in combat :)

  4. Re:Load time... on 4 New "Extremely Critical" IE Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Firefox 0.9.2 loads and displays the homepage (slashdot.org) in 1.49 seconds on my system, (Athlon XP 1900+, 512mb RAM, Win XP) while IE loads in 0.46 seconds with a blank homepage.

    I know I can live with the 1 second wait before I get to browse the web since it means a way safer browsing experience.

    Same happens with "Johnson Jr.", my quick search didn't find any other ones, so I suspect it's the dot causing the effect (the white square is supposed to be the borders for the selected piece).

    That's why cars have brakes, should you ever come across a situation like you described, just hit the brakes, glance around (optional), reverse over the hapless biker and render him unable to sue anyone ever again, finally a worthy use for a SUV :)

    Yeah, and if you look at the pictures closer, you notice

    (The 1539 ports scanned but not shown below are in the state: closed)

    So she does know there's an sshd running on the system, then she throws the 'spoit and it works.. maybe you'd prefer it if there had been a 3 hour sequence where she coded up her own exploit, DDoS'd the whole matrix and pranced around in the nude saying 'marvelous!', but sometimes you just have to make sacrifices to please the general audience :)
  11. Re:I bet this policy will change.. on Star Wars Galaxies Only to Allow One Character Per Account · · Score: 1

    There are 8 playable races in the game, that will be the only factor that's ever going to limit you to anything, the game itself isn't based on levels but on skills instead and what do you know, skills can be learned or unlearned if you're inclined to try something new.

  12. Re:Uhh... on Library Censorware Blocks Own Site · · Score: 1


    If they had employed PHP/MySQL, then it probably would have taken much less time -- but this is a library, and they're pretty much operating off the knowledge of the people that work there, aren't they? For that, they did a nice job.


    It's a library, that means it contains books among other things, some of those books probably have titles like "MySQL for dummies" and "PHP Programming Quide", so they could've done a better job.

    Maybe if it had a red led display which swings from side to side two leds at a time and a comlink so you could issue commands and it would reply in a computerized voice.

    "Segway, pick me up."
    "On my way, Michael."

    After that all it needs is a better name and it'd be a chick magnet, S.E.G.W.A.Y doesnt quite cut it.

  14. Re:Top countries looking on Linux with favor: on Halloween VII · · Score: 1

    That's because the Finns werent included in the survey, fortunately I bring you this impromptu survey of myself.

    Familiarity and favorability for OSS and Linux was high across geography & audience. One hundred percent (100%) of the respondent in Finland said he was 'extremely' familiar with OSS. In Finland 100% of OSS familiar respondent said he had a favorable impression of OSS; Linux favorability among the Linux familiar person was 100%.

    Though familiarity with Microsoft's Shared Source initiative is low, the reaction to Shared Source was positive. Forty-five percent (45%) of the respondent said he had heard 'something' about Microsoft's Shared Source initiative, while the suprising 55% said he had heard 'nothing'. When read a brief description of Microsoft's Shared Source initiative, the reaction is more negative (40%) than positive (0%). The rest of the respondent added he would 'like to see the source for a good laugh' which makes Shared Source overall a success.

    I sent them the fixed .js file that would work for everything but, of course, they declined to use it.

    While this may annoy you I think its overall better for everyone if banks refuse to use random .js files sent to them and stick to trusted sources that can be held responsible if something in the javascript lets Random J.

    The index was drawn up by asking journalists, researchers and legal experts to answer 50 questions about the whole range of press freedom violations (such as murders or arrests of journalists, censorship, pressure, state monopolies in various fields, punishment of press law offences and regulation of the media). The final list includes 139 countries. The others were not included in the absence of reliable information.
