Funny... i feel no peety when a murderer comes crying on TV because he "didn't do it". Why should i care about a fileswapper? He was breaking the law, he knew it, so he pays for it... tough luck!
Hum... it is my belief for what i read on slashdot and other sites that if you cut the AOL / Netscape developers, then Mozilla get's hurt. Am I pulling this out of my ass?
Regarding to Opera... if you are comparing it to mozilla... Opera is faster, damn faster. At least on most pages I go, and I am not even counting the time it takes to load the first time, because my mozilla just crawls on this little Pentium I have at work.
If you RTFA article you will understand that America has 70% of IP addresses leaving only 30% for the rest of us... with that in mind I tend to believe that Asia might get out of IPv4 before the USA...
This depends on what side of the foodchain you are... i am in the side where people *really* want to send e-mail to my users... no wait... they *need* to send e-mail to my users.
Yes I have met some exchange servers misconfigured... and no, they don't deliver mail to my users until someone configures it right... the admin in the other side is going to complain... but after a nice little discussion I have prepared for them, they just configure it right in order for me to shut up!:)
For that case, it's like you've bought a car that only goes 40 miles an hour but while the demand exists and only while that demand exists, you need a car that goes 150 miles an hour. You don't want to pay the money for a car that goes 150 because you only need it occasionally. Later, you know you'll need that car to go 220 but you're not there yet
If that was *my* real problem with a car... i guess i would rent a car... why not put the content on a remote server with enough bandwidht all the time?
That's exactly what the EU wants with this law. To support the local industry and diminuish the imports of goods from other contries, especially U.S.A.
I'm not sure I understand what you said, but in Portugal (a member of the EU) when you provide a service (like, webhosting for example) you have to pay for VAT.
You don't have to display 15 different VAT taxes, you only have to do what the EU says. To collect a VAT between 15% and 20%.
And of course it is going to cost more, just announce on the website: This item costs PRICE + VAT if you are a EU citizen.
Of course we aren't going to buy unless it's really cheap. I once buyed some t-shirts from thinkgeek, I didn't pay VAT at the time but I payed some on customs to pick up the delivery. I heard some stupid things like paying more in customs than what you pay for what you order... ain't taxes a bitch for free trade?
Like when we had World War I and we learnt better ways to kill people and have a World War II ? Oh wayt... maybe we learnt all that on the 100 years war...
I love that stats... they never count with human error and worst... human stupidity.
I don't have hard numbers, neither do you or you wouldn't say what you said... but probably more than 50% of break-ins have at least in some point been caused by human error.
I'm an Operator in a small network and having this virus on the network isn't affecting our users in many ways (yes, the load is higher but the servers can take it) and they don't feel any urge to leave.
The IRC OP's have been controling the situation (glines, forbidding channels, etc) and we are close to implement a technical solution to this problem.
I also live in Europe and I can tell you i am not happy about. All that the EU does is to copycat America and it's laws, it may take some time (6 to 12 months generaly) but Europe will be watching... and doing the same.
Then fine Microsoft, fine Linus Torvalds, just fine someone. The sense of impunity is something that cannot happen because when people are imune to law, you tend to be your own law.
Having runned a small defacement archive for the past year, one thing I learned is that people don't like you mess with their computers. In fact they don't even want to know that you know they have a problem. I once found a portuguese.gov site that was defaced for over a month in a sub-directory, even if i warned them just few days after it happened.
I also find out that what people think is "if you know someone hacked into my server, then it must have been you that hacked my server". And this brings up the next point, if you start hacking people's computers to stop the worms, they are going to think that it was you who unleashed the worm, it is logical, they just don't know better.
What must happen is not System Administrators "hacking" every computer in the internet infected by code red or nimbda. What must happen is legislation that makes every person running a computer personably responsible for the security of that same computer. If people don't secure their server they must be penalized, instead of letting us fix the problem... even if they want us to.

Well... maybe the money goes to the owner!
Maybe because the goals evolve has the language evolves..

So... IRC, around here, is alive and well
The question is... Is slashdot liable for AC posts from Michigan?
Can you leave your address and licence plate here please? For academic purposes only, of course...
That siesta thing is mexican, not spanish or portuguese or latin in any way.
IE never had a chance. IE came late. Everybody wamted Netscape. Everybody was happy with Netscape. IE was never dominant, until 2 years ago...
It muse be some "peninsula iberica" thing... Portugal sucks just as bad! :(
DMCA and others have proven it...
Too much slashdot i guess.
glad i could help you out
And don't forguet to drop one in roswell...

He thinks that you should have the right to "hack-back" so you can protect your network better.
Pesonally, i don't like this type of aproach, but it should be an interesting debate where all the security comunity should be envolved.
