mailto links are nasty... of the huge world out there i'd believe half click on those only to find themselves opening up something they don't use (perhaps outlook express)
personally i like the simple methods people use and am happy to correct it in my client if need be.
This isn't that big of a deal... all you need to do is:
1 - don't overbitch about this kind of stuff.. your just going to bring unnecessary proliferation of the sites you now despise
2 - proliferate the dislike and simply boycot visiting such websites
Okay whilst you all talk about google's whatever capitalistic whims and whatnot..
Alot of us too are capitalists; I'm only very suprised that no one's really come up with the best way a small time investor (such as most of us) could also capitalize on the IPO/offering. Is there really anyway the little guys can get their hands on google early enough to profit??
That's relatively nifty. I wish s/he would have put up a little more on the actual process for stitching so many images together. I can't imagine the amount of RAM (well, I can) necessary...
Imagine the incredible amount of posts there would be if the site was available - we'd be checking out the specs and all kinds of stuff... Also interesting is how the error on the page changed...
I've had unrestricted internet access since age 5. And to think my mother was proud of http://features.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/07/ 15/0327239&mode=thread&tid=153... If your not going to give your kids any privacy what are they to expect of the world they are to grow up in?
I've been using redhat for a couple of years now and truely enjoyed their free RHN. Now that they won't be offering a free product, only Fedora, I'm going to start calling it "[Dead]hat" - feel free to use
why would they care if us hardcore geeks were to overclock a system every now and then? we don't represent the masses they target with their products and it voids the warranty anyway... how do they lose when i overclock? unless they are worried about sellers of overclocked machines..
from the bottom of their registration: "Mailblocks accounts are restricted to people over 18 years of age"...and their policy page: "WE DO NOT REGISTER USERS YOUNGER THAN 18, NOR DO WE KNOWINGLY COLLECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN (DEFINED HEREIN AS MINORS YOUNGER THAN THIRTEEN YEARS OF AGE)."
Some of you may recall this interview from a while back - I used to be an AOL nerd back in the day and I know a few of the kids mentioned in the articles (and I think cam0 is 15 now?) - anyway.. from what I can recall alot of the 'hackers' (script kiddies, whatever) would simply use extreme social engineering tactics, as these articles explain, to get whatever they wanted. As the amount actual bugs of the systems would dry up (your basic token bugs, invokes, problems with the systems themselves) alot of the 'hackers' would have to figure out other ways to get in.
Getting past sID - this is not that big of a deal, while it's not that easy to do as long as you con the right person and you get lucky with the timing your all set. Once you have complete access to their internal system you will have no problems getting them to toss you their current number..
the only non-realistic part of the articles I read were regarding how many attackers utilize programming bugs - there are far fewer now then there used to be..
Slashdot seems to be doing this alot lately -- scewing their headlines to insight some contravery. In a recent posting with the DOS attacks legalization and the RIAA backing the article did NOT mention "dos" attacks. Here the msnbc article does NOT mention anything relating the the "death" of linux. Now we have a bunch of posts relating the headline "dead" part with people saying "Linux isn't dead!" and whatnot. Like the previous article I mentioned with the DOS attacks -- people are saying in posts using the word "DOS" when the article didn't mention this.
Now on to the critisizing of the article... Big deal if linux hasn't taken a huge stronghold in the personal computer market - who is suprised?
I don't see legislation like this getting anywhere in either chamber of our legistlative branch. There are way too many holes in such a piece, at least in its current form. What if you were to have two people LEGITIMATELY sharing music (ie: they both have the CDs and are trading in.mp3 format)? Your going to use currently illegal tactics against these people? That seems really... democratic?
"His bill would allow copyright holders to set up decoy files and use other techo-tricks like file-blocking and redirection to throw P2P pirates off the trail, but it would forbid those holders from employing tactics that would damage or destroy pirates' own computer systems."
What techno-tricks? What the hell is file-blocking? Redirection? The hardcore pirates I know are of a very savvy caliber, I fear such techno-tricks won't do too much.
"The [RIAA] said in a statement that it supports the Berman proposal, adding that 'Internet piracy undermines the growth of legitimate online music sites and hurts all consumers in the long run.'"
Of coarse they support it -- it grants RIAA currently illegal tools that only they can wield. We all of coarse know who is really hurting legitimate online music sites;)
I saw the movie on Friday and can honestly say it was not worth the $6 admission. Here are some of the reasons why (please note I'm not a modern war historian or what-not and could be totally wrong on some issues):
-at the very end our hero main character is in the crossfire of 3 fully equipped apache helicopters firing all they got at the other side; where we see some 50 soldiers equipped neatly with ak-47s, 3 someodd tanks all firing, snipers galore; and he doesn't even get scratched. You can sum this up in one word: stupid. As he slides in to get the disk with the pictures on it he also nicely takes out some of the snipers with his handgun; stupid how he can take out some people with automatics and he doesnt get touched in the crossfire.
-when the two ugly guys that are searching for the american are in the field where he was going to get rescued from they find his old clip; did you see how large that field was? What are the odds of you finding the one and only used clip from the american?
-after the assisaniation of the pilot the navigator yells from the hills and they then realize there is another and fire upon the hills; once again our hero is not scaved as we see thousands of rounds narrowly miss him; once again totally unrealistic.
-as our hero slides down the old dam or whatever it was the sniper convieniently misses him by inches each time; however the first shot missed to by the same distance; they are trying to tell us this slavic sniper can shoot and miss a moving target just as good as he can shoot and miss a non-mobile target... horrible...
-driving to hac isn't it so perfect for the kid on the truck to have an ice cold (presumably) coca-cola?
these are just a few of the stupid things about this movie. So the graphics were great... there was one part where the landmines blew up some of the enemies in slow motion and you saw their bodies bend and whatnot... very cool. But if you were planning to see this movie you may as well wait and get it cheaper at the video store.
These are my comments not yours - please don't flame:)

Here's the kiddies website: http://www.geocities.com/spth666/main.htm
So let's slash them after google had their way with them. It's like a super ddos without the mydoom variation... mydoom.google.slashdot
It looks nice, i'll be giving it a try. There are alot of instances in which you may need linux quick. cygwin rival?
no one knows about it? i'm a freelance artist at times and this is the first time i've heard of it. gif 4 life
What's recommended that one persue if they were to find themselves on such a list ?
personally i like the simple methods people use and am happy to correct it in my client if need be.

Thank goodness - I was worried.

you know what would be funny - if the guy who ran the site submitted both articles :)
how cute- the script kiddies are angry at each other while some steal all the glory.. awwww
