In related news Mossberg also covers the rising incidence of spam/virii in the Windows world
I'm not even going to criticize the use of "virii..."
But this is taking it a bit far, I think. You can't blame an operating system for increased spam. Unless he means popup/spyware spam, this is just unfounded. Sure, OS X's Mail.app has an awesome spam filter, and it's probably better in Tiger, but the reason you're getting it has nothing to do with your OS. I may be an Apple fanboy, but I get more spam than most Windows users I know...
That's very common. Don't worry, it's completely normal, you should grow out of it in a few months.

Then they should release it commercially. If Radiohead released their show at Radio City, I'd buy it today. They haven't. So I traded for it. It's an amazing show. Next time they come to Chicago, you can be sure I'm buying a ticket. Bootleg trading is for recordings you *can't* buy commercially.
SSL and SSHv1 are both vulnerable to this type of attack. SSHv2 and IPSEC will resist it, and fail the connection, which is correct behaviour.
Ettercap can also detect an SSH connection going out and respond to the client saying that the server only allows SSHv1. The default client behavior is to initiate the connection over SSHv1 (this is wrong). Ettercap then sniffs the key exchange and forwards the connection (over SSHv2 this time) to the remote server. The server thinks you're connecting through SSHv2, from your machine. The only real workaround is to ABSOLUTELY disable client support for SSHv1.
95 per cent of information technology groups are not delivering some number of projects on time or to the full satisfaction of the business executive.
This doesn't say 95% of projects are late. It says 95% of groups are delivering some projects late -- or the business executive isn't completely happy with the product after it's completed.
Since I've got excellent karma, I'll actually bite here, I can take the -1 Flamebait.
Your argument is that P2P has legitimate uses, and is therefore legal. I agree. However, your analogy to roads is flawed. The vast majority of road usage is for legitimate purposes. P2P has legitimate uses, sure. But really, when's the last time you downloaded a Linux ISO from Kazaa, Grokster, or any other second-generation P2P network? (BitTorrent not included, it's not second-generation.) The facts are simple. The 2% of legitimate use of P2P do not outweigh the 98% illegitimate use, at least in the *AA minds.
A better analogy would be to automatic weapons. I can go hunt deer with an AK-47. But for the vast majority of people, an AK-47 is used to kill people. This is why you can't buy an AK-47 in the U.S. The question as to whether or not the legitimate uses outweigh the illegitimate ones is for the courts. But looking at the precedent for this kind of thing, I don't expect much.
There's a difference. Even Opera (who I hold in high regard for their cross-platformness) doesn't have the latest versions available for all platforms. I understand not updating the BeOS port, but really... OS/2 is on Opera 5? I have professors who still use OS/2 as their primary desktop OS!

iTunes' (and the iPod as well) shuffle function isn't just random. It seems to weigh its choices on play count. If I rip an album, it won't come up on shuffle for a while. Once I start playing songs off of it, it'll start coming up all the time. I had a Bad Religion kick a few months ago, and it seems to play Bad Religion every 4th or 5th song now (in a library of 6500).
The new Google Groups has this annoying "go to top" floater that remains at the top of your screen when you scroll. It's not an ad... it just says the name of the group, the name of the thread, and a link to the top of it. I wish I could kill this...
The issue is that when Nick Jacobson owned T-Mobile's website, he used that to gain access to their entire network -- every picture sent or recieved, every text message, possibly even phone calls. He owned a good portion of the company.

I understand regulation of tobacco to a certain extent. Living in Chicago as a half-pack a day smoker, I hate it... but I do understand it. The idea is to provide a monetary incentive to quit. Big tobacco doesn't like it much either, but they can't claim it doesn't work, as that would be admitting the addictiveness of nicotine (...duh). Cook County and the City of Chicago, however, add about $3/pack in taxes in addition to what the other metro-Chicagoland counties do. It's kind of rediculous -- but you don't see people not smoking, you just see more people bumming.
Uh, it is a bit different, don't you think? In one case, you've got Woodward and Bernstein who get a source telling them about people breaking the law...
And in another case, you've got a company whose trade secrets (not crimes) are being disclosed to the press. The difference is that the federal government CAN'T do anything about it, at least not within the bounds of the law.
...was in MIPS. I don't own a MIPS box, nor would it be easy for me to find one. It wasn't expected that we had one. We were expected to use spim/xspim/PCSpim. I ran xspim on my Mac and it was fine. The programs probably ran like a snail crawling through molasses in January in comparison to a real box, but I never noticed -- none of my programs took long enough to execute anyway.
Well, it's an interesting question. I gather (and this is just my understanding, correct me if you know more about FT) that FastTrack (the network Kazaa runs on) works generally in the same way that Gnutella works. Each node keeps information about other nodes it knows about. So I launch a Fasttrack client for the first time, and it comes with a list, hopefully a long one, of IPs and possibly ports to try. Some of these may be dead, some may be alive. One way that I understand FT varies from Gnutella is supernodes. A single node keeps track of one layer's worth of nodes, whereas a supernode keeps a whole tree, and can be queried. These are what hold the network together, and why OpenFT is failing. If you can connect to one supernode, you're essentially golden. KMD/Sharman/whatever has a bunch of supernodes that they run. In this way, it's their network. So theoretically, if you connect to their supernodes, they can log your searches/downloads. But if you're not, well, then, you're an island. It'd be nice to get Julian Ashton, one of the guys who works on giFT-fasttrack, on this discussion to see what he has to say.

Not much. AOL has always been pretty nice with third-party clients. Nicer than MSN/Yahoo, at any rate.
It probably will connect with multiple IM services. It will probably have ads, though.

Right, but you have to realize that the government was under added constraint of not having any legal recourse. Apple did have a legal recourse.
