    After all, we helped build it, and look at how we're terrorizing the world right now. Damn right it's a terrorist tool - *OUR* terrorist tool.

    - Yeah Chief, take it easy. All the guy was suggesting was to create a custom ActiveX to help them out. You make it sound as if that suggestion means he's asking for the 7 pleagues to hit a user's PC. That's FUD on your part actually, bu avoiding the issue of the article, and concentreating on one word: ActiveX.

    WTF are you talking about? If they are running windows, an internally built ActiveX just for the transition, that will then get uninstalled through a GP afterwards cannot make things worst that they are. They are alreaddy running windows remember?

    Bottom line is, companies have loser CTOs and IT directors that get paid a $hit load of money to screw up these big projects and make everybody's job hell. They should fucking get fired.

    That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. Creating a Mouse that is not scared of the Cat? Do you understand the implications of evolution that such "achievement" can have on both species? First of all Cats will not need to chase the mice around anymore creating a new species of over weight, couch potato Cats, with health problems and eventual premature death Second, the Mice not being affraid of the cats will face sudden, violent deaths and have no hope of surviving. The next logical step would not be to make Mice that are more powerful than cats or at similar level, so at least they can put up a fight...and die with some dignity

  8. This is incredible on Highly Targeted Phishing From Salesforce.com Leak · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, we were a victim. SalesForce has been extremely, I mean extremely unprofessional and tight lipped about this incident. In an emergency meeting we had with them, they did claim that the data breach had originally happened in March of this year, yet we were never notified about it so we can put procedures in place and educate our users. We only knew when one of our users "logged in" to the phishing site. Unfortunately the crooks got to the data before we could change the password (within 5 minutes), but we were lucky that nothing "confidential" was downloaded. Regardless, when we called Salesforce, initially they told us that they cannot even share more info other than telling us to change our passwords. Then more emails started coming posing at Bank sites etc. We had to go to some incredible lengths to engage the SalesForce people to admit fault and advise on how to proceed in protecting the people. Still, they were less than helpful or they seemed incompetent to do so.

    Bottom line is, how can you keep such breach a secret for 7 months without telling your clients at the very least? I have yet to receive an email from them about this. No correspondence has happened between them and us.

    Oh, and the SalesForce "security" person was saying that the law enforcement has found where the phisher is located and that "if they have not aprehended him already, they will soon do so".... Whatever. BS.

  9. Re:It begins on Fake Codec is Mac OS X Trojan · · Score: 1

    I do not understand your post's point entirely. Are you measuring the success of Apple's OS, by the release of a virus tailored for its OS? Because that would contradict all you zealot's barking over the years that popularity is not a factor in how many viruses are released for an OS. It's an OSes weakness that draws geeks to write viruses for it

  15. Re:A robot pissing match. on First Armed Robots on Patrol in Iraq · · Score: 1

    Your narrow imagination and useless ranting oversimplify the whole scenario. Why do you waste database space with your liberal cr4p? On the other hand, I think this is a great idea. If they could send 10 of their guys and 10 robots out, then there's a lot of benefit to it, that sending out 20 of the guys in the battlefield. They can use the robots as the front line soldier or entering a dangerous neighbourhood etc. Although I am sure this is still being used as an experiment, it seems that if things go well, we'll soon start to get news of another 3 destroyed robots, instead of 3 soldiers dying. Although machines cannot replace the human soldier in the ground, they can help to their capacity. and if that fcuking robot saved 1 human life in a whole year it's worth the try.

    Yes, good thing they didn't. After all where else on earth do you have coins called" Loonies and Toonies EH? The poppy has been a symbol of canada and all other communist countries for years. I do not blame the contractors for finding it weird. The quality of the colouring of the poppy is so poor, that you can sctratch it with a nail pretty much. The poppy coins were a "special" edition coin created in commemoration of the veterans and the wars. A lot of money was invested (so each "poppy" coin actually was worth about 27 cents) from the taxpayers money to put the ugly things in circulation. Let's hope nothing stupid like that ever happens again.

    Do not assume what I believe! I believe thouth that Unix does deserve the number one spot. Take a look at it's history (History of unix)
    There's more lines on the Unix history chart than hair left on your head most likely. Then talk about some dead piece of software that was written in ancient times and was great. I think tha author's original idea was not on a "single piece of sotware" ever written, it was more about the impact it has had on the world. When you find one that surpasses Unix, then by all means bring it up, make your case, and we will give it the number 1 spot

  25. Re:Most subjective list EVER on The Greatest Software Ever · · Score: 1

    True. There are softwares that do a lot of things, but I do no think he's basing the list on categories of software (medical or geological or navigational etc etc. There are many great softwares in their own fields), I think he's basing the list on the impact. But, like he said in the beginning of his article that everyone has their own opinion about great software. I say it is impossible to find two techie people to agree on one thing when it comes to software. But in my years in the industry something always seems to stand out no matter where I work or what discussions I am participating in: The greatness of Unix. Unix laid the path for (almost) everything that computers and techology are about today. It's logic, functions and abilities have been copied, (attempted to be) translated and transformed in more ways, technologies and OSes than 'Dianetics'of Hubbard's has been translated into foreign languages. Yet, noone has ever been able to duplicate the SIMPLICITY of how UNIX does things. On the other hand I do not think that any other software in the world has achieved the status of unix, which is never getting tired of it. With a simple line you can get this beautiful OS to produce results that others need teams of developers to write whole programs to do so. Not to mention that the figures who left their mark in Unix moved on to create (almost) everything that makes up the advancment of technology today. When we speak of great minds (in technology), there always seem to be mention of of (most) of the people who created UNIX (and the following variants). They were not just "coders", they were great minds. I am not sure about the rest of the list, but he did nail the number 1 spot in my opinion
