    No, "Cracker Gains Access to 2.2 million ACCOUNT NUMBERS". If he doesn't have the PINs (which one would have to enter each time when they make a purchase) then nothing could be bought with them.

    Think of it this way, if I stole your ATM card, I couldn't empty out your checking acount without your PIN which, hopefully, only you know.

  19. Re:PIN numbers? on Cracker Gains Access to 2.2 Million Credit Cards · · Score: 1
    No, because the PINs would probably be stored in the same unsecure manner that the other credit card information was.

    No, no, no, you wouldn't store the PINs, that would defeat the purpose. You would have to enter it every time like you do when you buy groceries with your ATM card. Nobody would know it unless you gave it out.

  20. PIN numbers? on Cracker Gains Access to 2.2 Million Credit Cards · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Can anybody explain to me why credit cards don't have PIN numbers like my ATM card does? Wouldn't this stop a tremendous amount of fraud? All someone needs is someone's card number and expiration date and they can do whatever they want.

    I do notice that sometimes, very rarely though, that sites will ask for that extra three digit code on the back of the card, to verify that you do in fact have the card in your hand. This the same concept as a PIN and I don't see why more web sites aren't doing it. It's not like they have to completely revamp their way of accepting credit cards, it should be a very simple fix.

    Makes me want to go back to barder. Do you think ThinkGeek would accept two dead chickens and a half wheel of gouda for one of those mini tanks with the camera?

    "J2EE is crap" is a troll.

    J2EE has it's disadvantages and here is an explation why (i.e. your post) is not a troll.

    I agree with you totally. Anyone with any experience with J2EE (i.e. not the original poster), has struggled tremendously with entity beans. I have been following JDO closely and like what I see as well. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to play some of the implementaions out there. The fact is that most projects don't require the overhead and complexity of EJBs and JDO would provide a much better solution for persistance. This ist actually is a very nice feature of the J2EE spec as it doesn't tightly couple EJBs with your web tier.

  24. Re:Linux/Java story continues on Open Source Winning Java Server Market · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Comparing the market for OS Java application servers to the rise on Linux - that has got to be a positive thing for Java in general. Right?

    Absoultely. You're certianly not going to run .NET on Linux (well at least not yet, until Mono is released). J2EE gives you the option of picking an OS. It also works the other way around. If you already have Windows boxes as servers, you don't have to switch to Linux just to take advantage of J2EE.

    There are a few more open-source J2EE app servers than just Jboss and Tomcat - and its good that these are targeting different markets (just like the various Linux Distributions target different types of user/server markets )

    Yes, different application have different needs. One is allowed to chose which application server the feel will benefit their application to most. Resin is a good example of this, providing a very nice way to do XSLT.

    Will the companies that sell J2EE app servers today be in some sort of trouble if J2EE becomes a commodity? No, they're not in trouble at all because they make money from their unique products and services around J2EE.

    Exactly. No longer can these companies "shit in a box and mark it garunteed." (Tommy Boy was on cable yesterday). They actually have to work hard to make their product give a signifigant advantage over the OSS versions and be worth the money, unlike some other giant software company we know ...

    First of all, that would be popular.equals(good); Maybe you think J2EE is crap because you don't know how to program in Java.

    Second of all, let's try this again. What about the spec is crap? Can you give some examples? Your argument of "J2EE is crap" really isn't convincing me or anybody who reads this Slashdot that J2EE is an inferior technology. Mmmmkay?
