According to Dutch "shock-log" Geenstijl it seems the software is only being used to gather e-mail addresses and not downloading music. View the story at http://www.geenstijl.nl/mt/archieven/1181231.html
It doesn't matter if a phone has all nice features, a lot depends on the looks (both physical and OS). A small phone with MP3 playback option won't win it of iPhone just because of the MP3 functionality.
antifoidulus, here in Holland people are encouraged (TV, Radio and newspaper ads) to report any suspicious packages on the street. Fear is made stronger by the government so people are more alert and scared. Why would you trust a box on the streets then?
What were the ad guys thinking when they made this ad? In a country/world full of fears you just don't place boxes with lights in a city. That is asking for troubles...
To me it seems Netscape has lost his reputation as best browser. Mozilla Firefox is the more used browser these days. For Netscape it is very hard to gain market share with a suit. Still brave of Netscape though.
Back to the old-days, but yes, it works fine! This is one of the suggestions I always make, but nobody wants to give it a go... They should have listened.
This is a very good next step for Linux. Being open-source is a good thing already, but now Linux can evolve further. A lot of manufacturers are not able to write code for Linux because it consumes a lot of time or it is considered not a market where their core business lies. Now they can easily create drivers so a bigger market is drilled.
What would happen if one creates an algorithm which composes music out of real-time stock exchange data? I guess this would be an interesting project for someone to create. You would hear music related to the mood of Market, depressing when it's dropping and happy music when the stocks are climbing.
I also received a PDF document with this case explained. I read the document and when my eyes hit the $5 coupon line, it all makes senses to me. People will get a $5 discount on the next renewel, which is a great commercial action by Register.com (they won't lose a customer for another year).
The fun, I never registered a Register.com domain.
Anybody else heard of this kind of customer-binding/spam actions by companies?
I was wondering if there would be a way to stop SCO with spreading any news for now? Fact is that all this news mighr freighten big companies and some might even pay...
In Holland you can go to to the court for a quick trial (in Dutch Kort geding) to prevent actions by companies on short notice.
If anyone knows a way to stop SCO (or slow down), please post it here. 'Linux users, unite'.
According this article Megaprovider is the bad-guy. Don't know whether this is the case or not, but at BBC they seem to forget the following.
If you perform a whois on the domain beautifulwomentodate.com, you see false address information and 4 DNS servers. All DNS servers are 'on' the domain CATRAMINA.COM which is owned by "Global Hosting Solutions".
ONE of the 4 DNS servers has IP address 217.21.117.88 which is owned by "CyberAngels". I can imagine Cyberangels would allow a hosting party to host a DNS server, don't you?
This is all involvement of Cyberangels/Megaprovider and the BBC needs to spend like 3 paragraphs on this and even provide (in my eyes) wrong information? I expected more accurate information from BBC.
Yet this does not answer why Martin didn't answer calls or explain his involvement in Cyberangels, but I can imagine he founded Cyberangels and then pulled away his hands and therefor tells he has nothing to do with it or whatsoever... I leave this open for your own opinion.
IPv6 is like the Chicken and Egg story
on
Slashdot over IPv6
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Everyone knows the Chicken and the Egg story (which came first), with IPv6 it's the same:
*) IPv6 is ready to deploy, however not much ISP's are supporting IPv6. *) ISP's are not supporting IPv6 because there are no customers who uses it. *) Customers aren't using IPv6 because there are no applications who uses it. *) Software developers aren't creating software because nobody uses it.
As you can see there's a loop. The main thing is to break this loop and this project is a step in the good direction.
I'd like to encourage all ISP's to actively implement and promote IPv6. And you as 'consumer' can also promote IPv6, play with it even when you ISP doesn't support IPv6 yet (with IPv6 Tunnels for example).
I'm kinda concerned because all these new technologies:
* New Technologies leads to New Phones with more features * New features results in more bandwidth * More bandwidth equals higher prices
The consumer is the one who has to pay for all the high quality images send by the phone. This BTW also is the case for MMS. Consumers are paying quite a lot for the GPRS bandwidth used. This will eventually grow when UMTS comes to the world.
The laughing 3rd party is of course the Telco, their network already accepts these Features and can charge their customers only more for the used data.
Why are both browsers overfeaturing their browsers?
Can't they see people aren't waiting anymore for browsers who are using 30MB of memory! (Yes, Netscape 6 uses about 30MB)
Isn't it better to build a browser which is fast, small and simple to use but still capable of all the HTML and CSS standards?
I think you have to come with better ideas than expanding and enhance your previous browser these days.

There are some legal complaints and the response from TPB posted at their website: http://thepiratebay.org/legal.php Funny to read them though.

Just one comment, that's bad!

For me Usenet is one of the most reliable sources for this kind of news. If it hasn't been posted on newsgroups, it is most certainly not available.
There is a very good search engine available: http://alt.binaries.nl
If you can't find it there, it's not posted/available.
In case one might be interested, Essent mirrored security.debian.org.
You can use debian.essentkabel.com to download the latest security updates (in case you haven't already). Please note this is NOT an official mirror.
I'm kinda concerned because all these new technologies:
* New Technologies leads to New Phones with more features
* New features results in more bandwidth
* More bandwidth equals higher prices
