Everything else clinton said on that IRC chat was ambiguous. I didn't see one real non-political answer. So waste of time in my mind but definetly good for a laugh. -B
``Personally, I would like to see more porn on the Internet'' - Pres. Clinton 2/14/00
I am shocked that this has happened at UCSB - I'm a UCSB alumni working in town and have worked with Kevin Schmidt while attending UCSB.
The guy is an animal when it comes to his job and this just goes to show that it could happen _anywhere_. He's actually overqualified for his job and should look for 6 figures in the private industry. To those that say Stanford should be above this kind of attack because it's Stanford - a school's ranking has nothing to do with it's vulnrability. The people in charge of the computer infrastructure are lightly connected to the universities rating. Anyone who is qualified to do a good job at IT wouldn't take the low salary from a university anyways.
Oh yea, and as far as you looking bad. You're a CS student at UCSB, how pathetic. UCSB will let anyone in with a pulse. The staff is underpaid, the faculty underqualified, and the undergrad students are horrible and can hardly be taken seriously at a job interview. About letting students assist in IT - there's too much to risk as in this isolated DoS incident is nothing compared to an IT undergrad intern that just let his computer genious best friend reconfigure the router. If you knew Kevin Schmidt then you would know that this is the result of being overworked however the gov't is always understaffed. Now I'm not proud of getting a degree from UCSB but who's to say you need a sparkling degree anyways - 1 year after graduating I bought a new black boxster S. Shit, look hard in IV and you'll see me drive by fabio. (sorry for the flame but you do sound like a geeky san nic dorm resident that spends too much time on resnet and doesn't get any, while the other 10,000 chicks at ucsb are out partying every weekend.) -B
Is the author jelous of all the attention that linux is getting? Reading this article and a lot of the posts make me want to send a copy of the dragon book on OS's to the authors. It would be best to read about memory management and process control than if BSD,linux, whatever is more likely to crash a web server. Another thing is that BSD may be better in some situations and linux may be better in others. all these arguments over what's universally better are ridiculous. On another note I once ran BSDi at home, replaced it with x86solaris then with linux, which is probably the most user fiendly OS for home use However at work if anything happened to a BSDi server then you could get an 'engineer' from tech support because the OS cost $500. Linux on the other hand you would have to sift through newgroups, faqs, etc to get info that's more of a concensus than a professional answer. this argument will never end and to anyone out there that is still unsure which OS to run where, drop the faqs, howto's, and read a textbook because there are too many authorities out there using quake and apache as a benchmark then telling people what's better. -- Blaine
Oh yea, the article was ok, i have been enlightened as to my sinful ways and will now replace linux with bsd so that unix(tm) gets the proper respect it deserves.
It seems as though the fingers still need joints and whatever else to make them useful. What would be cool (or damn creepy) is if useful fingers could be planted on mice and those mice could learn to control the fingers. And why stop at fingers, find out if it is possible to put hoofs on people instead of feet. -- Blaine

I don't see this idea catching on largely because of privacy. think of the impact it would have had on OJ 'save the juice' simpson or bill clinton. the cia banned employees from bringing furby's to their offices. Then if somehow people could break into your database, say you go into a job interview and your monthly trips to the red light district in amsterdam show up, your screwed. you may be able to set up your own equipment to monitor someone's movements. so much for the cliche 'if you don't lie then you dont have to remember anything.'-B critisism aside, it is a cool piece of technology. it would be nice if you could take pictures, sounds, etc and imediately dump them to your database at home.
