  1. Re:Glad I use mozilla... on Netscape 6 is Spyware? · · Score: 1

    I use the Google toolbar in IE and set my home page to about:blank it's faster.

    So peope have to install the software so they can connect to AOL. They don't want people on AOL without being ON AOL.

  3. any more details? on OpenSSH Local Root Hole · · Score: 1
    I don't know c but would I looked at the patch and would I be correct to say that this means it was

    Integer id
    if id is greater than (>) allocated memory on the stack then return null

    when it should be Integer id
    If id is greater or equal to (>=) allocated memory then return null and log it.

    hence the off by one?

    If this is incorrect (likely case) then please correct me, and could someone clear up what the channel_lookup function is used for to maybe give a better on this being possibly used as a remote compromise. And would I be correct to assume regardless of local/remote access theat the user would first need a valid account on the system prior to attempting to escalate privileges? This advisory is hardly complete.

  4. Re:sick on Movie Industry Cries All the Way to the Bank · · Score: 1
    I would love to drop you off in a rural coal mining town with that little message tattooed on your forehead. It would bring me great pleasure to see you get the shit beaten out of you for your bigotry.

    I am sensing some aggression here, I'm sure there is a man in a leather chair somewhere that can help you with your feelings.

  5. Re:sick on Movie Industry Cries All the Way to the Bank · · Score: 0, Troll

    actors and musicians are not the only wealthy people in the world, not everyone was born into money and some people DO/DID work to get where they are. I don't feel sorry for the person that is mining coal because they were too drunk to finish high school. If they can't make it drunk, stop drinking.

  6. Look what you started on LED Lights: Friend or Foe? · · Score: 1

    My neighbor rigged a flashlight to his router and is using it to spam me. Please make the bad man stop.

  8. Re:LED Mods on LED Lights: Friend or Foe? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder where I can get an LED mod that fakes my downloading of the DMV's database. It'll be cool when they take my HDD and horde my pr0n instead.

  9. The fast way.. on Allchin Admits MSFT Violated the Law · · Score: 1

    The want IE removed from windows so they don't have to support it? easy since IE and explorer are just about the same thing you can remove it without entirely killing the OS. but they didn't say to remove explorer, they said remove IE, so just delete the icon, leave E, and block E from interpreting http requests. done.

  10. So what about IE on Allchin Admits MSFT Violated the Law · · Score: 1

    I don't care if IE is intigrated in windows, it hardly bothers me, leave it there. Besides maybe IE default searching with MSN even after you dissable address search it in options (under advanced). I think the larger ant competive act is the bootloader issue is the one where MSFT's OEM liscence agreement restrics vendors from selling a dual boot computer. With all the talk over linux being main stream ready have you ever wondered why you can't just buy a dual boot linux/windows computer? This is what BeOS in the process of targeting MS for. But I feel that the rulling of removing IE and handing over the source code etc. is all counter productive. I would have rather had MS throw billions of dollars a backing open source or maybe even creating it's own main stream GPL linux distro. Not that I want a MS linux distro but I would admit it wold do quite a bit for the movement.

  12. Korea anyone? on China Wants Out of Spam Blocks · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I'd say about 80% of my spam is from Korean schools. Here is a post from an abuse NG with a possible explanation for it. Myself and many others have tried a # of times to contact some of these schools for the last few months or so with no success.

    Subject: Re: Korean Schools Proxy Project?

    From Joel:
    "> It is possible that Appleton, Wisconsin, High School has an open connect proxy on port 3128 and the Tuscaloosa Unified School District has an anonymous mail relay.
    But, apparently, one group wired every K-12 school in South Korea and they made the same goddam error EVERYWHERE."

    RE: from Rob
    Thanks for explaining this, Joel. Somebody sent me a couple dozen spams (morts, credit card, work at home) in the last week, each relayed through a different Korean elementary school. None bothers to record the originating IP. Amazing.

    A letter to the ambassador is in order.

    has been addressed in the past, there may be lagal issues with mirroring the content without prior written consent, not everone would care but someone would kill it for the rest. and some web sites make money from adds/banners and that also complicates the mirroring process.

  21. By the same logic on Disney Blames Apple For Music Piracy · · Score: 1

    The very Idea of a a CD writer should be against the law, The idea of a casset deck with a record feature should also be against the law. Should we also go as far as to say that any HDD with write access should as well be against the law?

  24. Linking to flash web pages on Macromedia Pushes Flash For All Things Web · · Score: 1

    here is a comment from http://flashkit.com/reviews/flashmx/ "The Timeline has seen some vast improvements like folders for organizing layers. You can now set anchor points and these can be used to bookmark your project so people can use the back button on the browser, as well as bookmarking where they are on your site." This would imply that you can link to a section within an SWF file using anchors.

  25. I don't have facts to back this.. on Macromedia Pushes Flash For All Things Web · · Score: 1

    ...but I would say that flash web sites load faster then their non flash html/jpg/gif equivalents. It's the sound that people often imbed in flash that slows down the load times to such an extent. Flash is actually quite efficient in terms of bandwidth, I am not a guru but I did use flash for a while and I will say that it's capable of much more then stupid animations.
