How about paint with little duckies like Johnny's girl put on their getaway car? As I remember it everyone else rinsed off the paint coating... Johnny Dangerously was the one who peeled it off?
The really bad people are the ISPs. I know some folks at MCI and AT&T... they know their customers are spammers, but as one MCI rep said, "They pay." Some ISPs would be shut down due to a lack of revenue if it weren't for these little providers harboring these SMDs (Spams of Mass Dissemination) I say we should call nato and organize a fact finding investigation. Now let's liberate some servers!
Friggin great, another ton of money thrown at a bad idea. The NMCI literally has thousands of software titles... and didn't use them properly. God help them if the BSA ever checks them out! Hopefully they'll use Tivoli this time instead of that piece of garbage software Novadigm. I really hope the air farce reconsiders this. NMCI was a big waste because middle managers knew crap about IT and they had their MCSE certs to prove it!
What the hell is going on with all the BSD postings on/.? Can someone please wake up the editors and tell them to get some other intelligent content for today?
I piloted an endeavour with AT&T and Warner Brothers about digital movies being downloadable when The Matrix came out. I re-encoded the movie using Windows Media Encoder(DivX wasn't as prolific back then) and brought the movie down to 181MB. It was near VCR quality at full screen and it was called "Watchable". The problem was that back then no one had the bandwidth to host this kind of file size with decent quality assurance. Their solution in the end was to use MBone to stream movies... hence your digital television which is IP based and multicast enabled. So until Internet bandwidth gets cheaper, you're stuck with movies on demand through your digial cable provider... which in many cases also controls the cost of your Internet provisioning. Coincidence?
For some reason I can't get that Windows 98 unveiling conference out of my mind... remember the BSOD on stage when the idiot plugged in the scanner? Microsoft can't even get it's launches right.
$120K is the average starting pay... If you do work in Iraq, the going rate is about $170K. In a time where you have thousands of MCSEs out of work and some working in expensive California for far less than $40K... $120K isn't starting to look so bad, especially considering that the average home here in San Diego is $500K
I know of several former coworkers who are there right now. You can chech out two of their websites here and here. I have been approached by these companies as well, and my expedited passport ($188.00) should be here next week. $120K/yr is too enticing for me to pass this up. Additionally, if you're doing IT work and are worried about danger, pick Kuwait as it is the safest environment. I'm married with two kids, and this certainly seems like a good option for mom to finally have a house. Keep in mind that the captured contractors mostly put themselves in danger by being in open public areas... IT guys are very well protected, probably because they are required to have an active secret clearance.
I got a free front axel with installation, front-end alignment and next weekend I'm getting a free engine mount... (one of my current ones are busted.)
Honestly though, most of the time all I get is grief. I hate those bloodsuckers, who constantly call you when they break something and actually try to blame you for the breakage! Their lines usually start out like,"Hey, I don't know what you did when you came out here to fix my computer six months ago, but now my $%^#'s broke... can you come over?"
I attended a Cisco Intrusion Detection System class a shortwhile back and laughed my arse off when I saw the Red Hat 7.3 installation screen. I asked the instructor for a copy of the modified source code and he just sat there looking stupid... nice. At least the worlds routers are not running Microsoft right?
One of the biggest setbacks I see in companies desires to embrace Linux is legacy applications. This has risen to be such a problem that Microsoft XP has 'compatibility mode' functionality to run these antiquated applications. Granted they probably should have gotton rid of that old cobol program years ago, but they use it today and they call it critical. If Linux can run their proprietary software, then they'll do it. But if not, then they'll have to keep their Windoze computers around. How is Linux going to compensate for this? I could understand if it was only a few programs... I'd hire some programmers, but try taking on like 20 to 30 thousand apps?
Microsoft Word and the english unabridged dictionary seems to think it is. Maybe it means that a person has exceptionaly less regard or actually does regard?

A co-worker and I went to check this PAN-IP company out... after all I'm just a lowly reporter for a small e-zine! Guess what, 329 Laurel Street in San Diego is a spot to park your car... not your butt. There's no office there. I tracked down the PAN-IP owner's house... and it's in tatters within a location called South Park San Diego. Really, the place is a shit-hole and in disarray. My guess is they needed money to pay the mortgage on the tired old house. PAN-IP was a scam folks. Challenge them completely and countersue. Watch this bottom feeder move into Barrio Logan.
Was their company's stock not bad enough? This reminds me of a Three Stooges episode: The three are rowing a small boat and Larry notices a hole that is leaking water. Moe slaps him, calls him a dummy and says, "knucklehead! Put a hole over there so the water can drain out!"
It's a blast if you're throwing a quick party... a little messy though.

What the hell was this company thinking? When the hell will SCO just lie down and die? Is 99% of the community wrong or is it just companies like this? Assholes... lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

Has anyone seen the PCs or Thiz Linux? The PC makes an e-machine look like a super computer... it's absolute crap complete with a Cyrix chipset.
As far as Thiz Linux goes, it is also crap... If SCO wants to go after Linux, we ought to feed them Thiz Linux as a diversion. It's a stripped down e-mail, word processor, MP3 Player, and cheesy Web Browser. That's it! I hear users still preferred their speak-n-spell over Thiz Linux.
Can't wait till the little black vans show up and close up SCO. I work for the government and yes, they use Linux. Going after the private sector is one thing, but holding Uncle Sam hostage is another. No judge on the face of this earth is going to just roll over on the system and the people that vote on it. This is the one sure fire way to close your doors. I'll bet that the song that's playing in their elevators is from the Doors... This is the end, this is the end my friend. In the immortal words of AOL, "Goodbye!"
Yes, just getting an IP address is a felony. FCC law says that robbing someone electronically of services or interfering with electronic transmission IS a felony. Although this law may be very broad by concept, the newspaper sealed the case on this one with another facet of law... intent. It was there intention to access the network and they knowingly downloaded files that were sensitive in nature.
If you knowingly leave your door unlocked and I willingly open it and walk in, have I committed criminal trespass? According to the law I have... it's called "breaking and entering." By turning the doorknob, I have established intent, by walking in, I have committed a crime.
Hmmm... according to FCC article 15, this newspaper just openly and admittingly committed a felony. Just getting an IP address constitutes committing this felony, but to access files without the network owner's permission is a strict offense. If I'm not mistaken, didn't a San Diego security company get raided by the FBI for doing the same thing?
