  1. Re:Can they do that? on Author of Paper Critical of Microsoft is Fired · · Score: 1

    He put his company and his position at that company in the paper. To somebody who does not know the people who wrote the paper, it would appear to that person that the paper was officially endorsed by @stake.

  2. Re:My head hurts... on Author of Paper Critical of Microsoft is Fired · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He put his company and title in the paper. If he did not clear that with his company before publishing this paper, @stake has every reason to fire him.

    Not only can it be viewed as damaging to a big client (Microsoft, in this case), but it can also be viewed as competing with your own company since both @stake and the paper deal with security. I'm sure he signed a non-compete agreement with @stake when he was hired.

  5. Same as Mozilla 1.4rc3 on Mozilla 1.4 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    This release is the same thing as 1.4rc3. Log on to their FTP site and compare file sizes. Even the Windows installer says "1.4.0.2003062408".

    If you already installed 1.4rc3, don't bother wasting your time with 1.4 final.

  6. Re:I've always thought... on How Labels And Artists Divvy Up Your Dollar Online · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Fortunately, touring is the time that bands make their wads of cash. Bands earn their well-deserved buck, and the real fans get to see what the music is really about.

    Unfortunately, unless you are the Rolling Stones or Phish (or the like), bands don't break even on touring.

    This approach and idea is actually very old, and it has already been done (although not through Gamespy).

    I wrote a program for Quake 1 that flooded a server with false connections and disconnected legitimate users (http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/3051), and a friend changed 1 line of code to make my exploit do a "smurf" attack on a client (http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/3060).

    The submitter of this story should take a look at the ISO 17799 standard (formerly the British Standard 7799) for data security.

    As for backups, best practices suggests that you keep one on site and one off site. The off site location should be at least 6.5 miles from the site. This distance was calculated throughout the years as insurance companies assessed damage caused by widespread natural disasters (hurricanes, floods) and the area that was impacted by them.

  21. Re:Blogger runs windows..... on Blogger Hacked · · Score: 5, Informative

    My money is that these guys got in with an application-level hack, not an OS/server hack. The biggest fault of applications, especially web applications, is a failure by the programmer to do input validation.

    Apache, perl, and php are vulnerable to the same type of hacks, it's not just Microsoft.

    How is this story ground-breaking news? I posted this story over a year ago on Sept 6, 2001. The original post's article even states that they estimate the mass to be 2.6 million times that of the sun. Nice repeat.
