That is what happens when you sell out to the big media giants that do not give a "miniscule damn" about the blood, sweat, and tears you poured into the company.
Your "vision" that made the company successful is not the vision of their 'reduction in force' accountants.

A new Trojan called "Black Angel 2000" has come to our attention and in a beta testing phase by a small group of individuals. Check the text below issued by Munga Bunga taken from alt.2600.hackerz. Speculations from this newsgroup claims it could be a hoax but it is should be taken seriously until proven otherwise.
Enclosed is an extract of the letter published by Mumga Bunga. Apparently, there are some copies of the software in use by beta testers. This group has a web site at http://www.hackology.com which provides more information.
Stephen checked yesterday with some of the best people in the US and no one appears to have any insight about this new Trojan and its capability.
It is possible some of the new unknown ports that have been probed in the past week could be associated with this new Trojan. If anyone within the SANS community have noticed any suspicious files, code, etc that maybe associated with this Trojan, please forward copies and any additional information to mailto:handler@incidents.org
The following is an extract taken from alt.2600.hackerz:
Dear prospective Black Angel user.
This document should contain more information regarding the controversially coded program, "Black Angel"!
Currently I can tell you that apart from the fact that the program is going to be amazing in itself, there shall be 3 new concepts in Black Angel,concepts that have never been exploited in such software before.
One of those concepts is the ability to send the server file in the form of MyPic.jpg (with a jpg icon and a jpg extension). This isn't a big deal for us, and we are not referring to it as "revolutionary"! The file would look like a.jpg file in all ICQ transfers, Windows Explorer and Windows Properties (etc), even if they have file extension view enabled, it would still fully look the same (MyPic.jpg). We are yet to test it's appearance in DCC, and we shall soon. Remember I said the file (server) would look like a.jpg file, that shouldn't explicitly refer to any of the files true characteristics, properties or attributes! That's all I'll say regarding this concept.
Remember, we don't think that's a "revolutionary" concept, not at all, it's nothing. Just another concept which would make Black Angel good software.
The other two concepts relate to the "revolutionary move" that Black Angel is taking. I can not say anything else but the following...
The second concept is to do with interface development and real time interactivity between the client program and the user. Here, we are taking the coded GUI to a new level, definitely a level that almost all of you have never even seen before! We are trying to make the program as "human" as possible, you can expect to see some amazing features.
The third concept is to do with hiding your true Identity on the Internet this is by far the most important concept. If you have heard of the freedom project, I can tell you that freedom is NOTHING compared to the "freedom capabilities" of Black Angel! You would be able to do, what you never thought possible. In addition, it's all, obviously free!
Also, our software is being built from scratch, we are worried about the factor of "time", we are trying to meet the deadline. But it's not easy to code, as you can imagine, and it is not a clone of any other lame software product either (for those of you who made such claims).
I know there are some copies of Black Angel floating around, please dispose of them immediately, distribution of our beta software would not be gladly looked upon! Feel free to distribute this letter, however, to those who request more information. Current state: I'm finishing up the remote explorer and
It is unlikely, but possible that this is another self modify piece of code . A piece of code that re-writes itself after stages of accomplishment.
Once has has infected, remove the infection method so as to muddle the tracing process.
Like a honey bee leaving it's stinger, but the bee dies.
Part of the code is left to do its part, part is gone.
If the guy is as smart as the person that wrote the Mr. Leaves worm then he may have it sending the data to a shell account harvesting on a encrypted network, both encrypted and encoded, and false positives for the gov to find galore.
He can sue via pro bono , and some lawyers will take cases on contingency and work your case til the pay off comes in.
Then tend to charge more overall, but it offers recourse to those that cannot swing the $$$ up front.
Alot of poor ppl get lawyers this way, a ex-friend of mine sued the state for poorly marked road signs when she drove off the road at 60 miles and hour because the road just ended with no warning....She won...
Her lawyer took the case on contingecy.
It was close to 1/3rd of a million, but the lawyers took 1/3rd of it.
There is also a law going before the senate to reduce this amount to closer to 20-25% if memory serves right.
Anything is better than M$ taking over 50 billion US dollars away from those that do the work in the field.
50+ billion was just their net profit, cannot even imagine their gross profit.
How many jobs could have been made with all those billions, and the other billions that were labelled as expenses and funnelled through the US govt tax system.
Who really knows how many billions went thru M$ over the past 10 years , I am almost baffled to guess.
I stagger to think how many coders could be hired for life on the amount, and the residual interest, etc etc.
You'd have the best software on the planet, and workers there to help you with it instead of having to call a 1-800# to get $hit $upport.

can route based on the frequency spectrum of the light
In other words a certain color range and be routed to
one city while a slight shift in wavelength routes to
a different city
All happening with zero routing latency
DWDM would support 80 channels like this last time
I read about it, with plans for more channels when
spectrum resolution was made more finite
One strand of fiber, optical splitting, then different
frequencies routed nearly instantaneously
Once the frequency split light is received in its
final metroplex it is then determined the internal
data type and the Sonet or ATM packets are read
DWDM routing is optical routing , no packets are read

Decent DSL is $65 a month, and fast cable is $39

When cable modems were first here, they did
not turn on the QoS on the upstream and we
saw 70KB/sec upstream for a few years !!!
DSL got here over a year after cable modems
It is capped now though, 20 - 30 KB at best
Downstream still cooks at speeds up to 550KB/sec
FTTN is a great idea, and some ppl think that
Wi-Fi for that last leg is a good natural addition
to that , but who knows how it will all pan out
Industry big wigs will make that choice , and it
will most likely be profit not quality driven
