According their ISP support page, they suggest adding stub zones.
Tiscali, NetZero, Juno, Earthlink have added New.net domains to stub zones. Doesn't sound like a client only solution to me.
It's always better to perform a multi-pronged attack. The web bug would be one of the first forms.
They probably knew the mail reader based on the x-tra headers in the email. From that I'm sure they probably tried whatever attacks exist against it (header buffer overflows etc....)
Given that AOHell was involved the guy probably used somebodies CC to create an account, or is a complete fool for using that service.
If it was the latter, I'm sure AOHell already has snoops and a slew of other privacy invading functionality in their software.
If the user used IE, ActiveX could be used to install whatever software, and maybe he was lame enough to click OK. Like I said a multi-pronged attack. Once they have software on your machine, nothing else matters.
Microsoft Platfrom: $1,643,112
J2EE/Linux Platform: $2,289,041
Ability to track down problems via *SOURCE*, community or support: PRICELESS
*CHOICE OF SUPPLIER* PRICELESS
Not to mention they ignored all the open source development tools for Java:
JBoss (okay so it doesn't have a J2EE label)
Postgres
Eclipse
XDoclet
Ant
etc...
That would slash Software, Maintenance, Development significantly....

They keep charging you even after you try to kill the account. They got in trouble with this before but I've read from people who've been bitten by this lately.
It amazes me why anybody puts up with their crappy interface
What explains the 4'5" Lady who "allegedly" works at the same company I work at never showing up and still getting an obscenely large paycheck for the little she does?
If it does get overturned direct marketers now have a huge list of people they CAN call. I'm sure they would have paind mega bucks for 50 million valid numbers.
Another stupid narrow argument presented by a narrow minded blowhard.
Yeah, starting from scratch for a project for an 8 week class, you want to develop some trash code you're going to throw away.
However if you want your system to scale, run on a huge cluster without resorting to running to the database for every piece of data, and build up a readable codebase to allow for more than the intial programmer to navigate through the garbage easily then Java is the better way to go.
perhaps Java == SUV because it can handle a hell of a lot more load?
BillyBobs Fruit Stand e-commerence site might be appropriate for Perl, but Charles Schwab and eBay aren't.
Those are issues to concider before starting a tool. If I could have a scripter spit out a tool that will serve my purpose for that day, but end up taking ten times the effort to maintain/extend it, I would rather have it done in a more formal method.
The fact is that scripting languages take on dramatic changes, which would mean you'd end up haveing three versions of the executation engine on your system.
Scripting languages provide a lot more flexibility in expressing those rules. If there are ten ways to say something easily then you will see all 10 ways used at some point, and you will have to deal with all 10 ways.
Also, often times, scripters are craftsmen and not formally educated in the art of software developement. While they come up with means and methods to get the job done, those means and methods are sometimes not the best route (complexity, flexibility of tool, speed, resource usage). So yes, craftsmen vs. engineers, engineers are more highly valued. I'm not saying just because you're educated you're good, it's my belif that one needs to evolve from craftsmen to engineer early in ones profession to be good. Not just become a programmer "because the pay is good" (somebody should have told them the hours and demands)
I'm not going to get into speed to execute instructions/p-code, it should be obvious, but this is much less of an issue to me, as the resulting internal quality of the tool.
I found this crap out after I had already purchased TurboTax.
1) Their ought to be legistlation out to mark restricted software as such, just like the Audio CDs.
2) If I want to make a fully functioning backup I should be able to do, as I understand it, CDilla prevents you from using a burner on particular types of software and it used to report back? Not sure about these, but if it does I'm pissed.
3) I don't need functioning software left behind after I uninstall an application, or am not running it. E.g. If I'm not running turbotax and this macrovision crap needs to have a running process on my machine, then I want them to pay me for the cycles and memory usage.
4) If I choose to move my licesnse to new hardware then that should be my perogative, and I shouldn't have to spend time getting authorized to do so.
5) Are they really that worried that somebody is gonna steal turbotax 2002 in 2005? Why is this crap even enabled afterward.
6) What do they care if I want to amend the tax return afterwards, if I already legally entered my tax return, there shouldn't be restrictions on how often and when or where I could print it out from.
For the hevily computational stuff use C++ native libraries if the java "prototype" doesn't work for you everything else (persistance, interface, brokering) use Java.
I agree that he should be able to charge whatever he wants, but I can't believe that that price is the sweet-point in the supply/demand graph. So if that is capitalism, it's not exactly done by conventional thinking.
That's the best price bidders could place per cruiser <shocked> But regardless, $70k broken down as ROI is acceptable, but $70k to pick up a burgler who's been on a spree? Although it is hard to place a price on extracting rapeists/murderers from society.
As far as the psychological data, your right, but if it could get built up by local agencies, and if somehow they could share that information with other agencies it would get built up quickly.
I'd imagine that this technology would be useful for everything from birdwatchers, national forest rangers (a black bear was raveging picnic baskets for one of the national forests I frequent), etc...
My only beef is that they are falling behind, Other services let you scheudle stuff through the internet. It would have also been cool if they added that technology, found in high-end VCRs, to play audio as your ff/rw adjusted so you could somewhat understand what your missing, and not just rely on the picture.
Hopefully they'll opensource it before they run out of cash, or soon after if they don't sell it off (in case they want to try to get investers back some $$)
Long time reader, first time poster, when I read the price I was so outraged, I had to post.
I want my local police to have this, and I don't want to pay $70k in taxes. It sucks that it's priced so insanely when people lives depend on it. I'd understand a reasonable fee to keep going, but that's outrageous. Kinda like large pharmaceutical oligopolies using americans to fund drugs to foreign countries.
Technology doesn't sound that difficult, he'll make it even more flexible, it doesn't even need to use maps, just spit out coordinates after the user clicks on a place with a mouse, with flags (lat/long) for the peaks. They could use GPS route finding.
Somebody start an open source project, I think this wouldn't be so difficult in Java. A list that asks for evidence, a weight, and a timestamp. Adjusting the weight of the particular piece of evidence could recalculate the topo(crimo)graphic map.
I'm sure large franchises use something similar with peaks based on daily population densities to determine where to place their next restaurant. That probably costs an insane amount too.

Didn't Tivo begin the simple interface? Or the palm in list view (models with jog dials too), or even the Sony phone that I had 5 or more years ago?
