I have installed a personal firewall on my system which notifies me about every incoming and outgoing connection. You will be amazed to see how many of those programs try do connect to their home site often. I block their incoming and outgoing internet connection for once and all.
Now I can choose any program that I want. I'm quite happy with this solution for a time being. Though it's not possible for those programs which meant for internet only.
Does that system capable of searching for Paris Hilton when searched for the letter "P" instead?
This reminds me of the famous quote "Artificial Intelligence usually beats real stupidity"
I doubt whether the problem is with hardware or OS. It more seems to be inefficiency of the application program to handle all the cancelled reservation. The programming logic for the cancellation of reservations and assigning them a new reservation time and date seems to be root of this problem.
They could have avoided the problem if they would have included more rigorous test cases before deployment.
Intead of pouring that much money into the making of LOTR-III, producer of LOTR could have just downloaded it in 2001 itself from www.InternetMovies.com and released it.
It could have saved his money and everybodies time also. People just don't understand.
This article does not talk about the error correction and detection at all.
Higher the density and capacity of the data stored on such disk makes life miserable for error detection and correction against the scratches on the surface of the media. The standard DVDs are more prone to scratches while scratched CDs have more chance of recovering the data back.
I think this problem will only increase in these Blu-Ray/Standard DVD Hybrid disks.
Instead of suing the banks they could have sued the software companies who developed the software for them?
From now onwards, after developing the software I'm going to check how many patents does my software breaks. I don't want to see a lawyer at my doorsteps after the deployment claiming a huge amount for the efforts that I have actually put into the development.
Can I patent the famous "$i=0;" code and all its variations?
Then I can go and sue millions of companies and people. Boy, I will be rich.
Yeah, most of the spam is also US centric. It mainly contains either Via9ra or P3ni5 enlargement programs. Most of the people out side US receive these mails and some stupid amongst those who really want to purchase those products by reading the mails can not buy since most of these products even don't have distribution network outside US.
One of my friends, who work for a US based company, which sells cigarretes online. All this guy has to do is get some working email ids and send the mail drafted by the US based company. He does this from location outside US though. This guy has written a UserAgent (Robot) which goes to Yahoo and grabs the email ids at random and mails them. Untill this it looks very bad but if you see inside they do get enough business through this channel for their survival at least. They do not have any other business channel other than this and they are doing fine.
Even if this guy is generating the SPAM from the location outside US, he is doing it for his master sitting there in US.
Now, who is the real badguy?
Guys at SCO admit that they were wrong when they claimed that Linux kernel contains the proprietory UNIX code.
Going one step further they will start advocating Linux and the advantages of Open Source.
In the realted news from Titanian reporter:
Titanians have detected the very much possibility of an earth satellite colliding with their planet and they have demanded the government funding to detect such disasters and avoid the damage in the future.

Titan weather department is planning the weather baloon tests on coming 14th Jan.
This is exactly what I thought after accidently rebooting the system for couple of times. To remove those stupid 'Power' and 'Sleep' keys very near to those very frequently pressed keys like delete and backspace.
No wonder why those keys are missing from all those keyboards in your school.
Guardian Says: "The King William's College quiz: It's 100 years old and it'll still outsmart you."
Hey, It's 100 years old and that's the one of the reasons it is so difficult.
How am I supposed to remember the 100 years old history? I can't even remember the syntax for crontab entries. Everytime I have to go through the man pages.;-)
The computers will do what you tell them to do and not what you want to do!
Consider this first. This will reduce the problem. I don't say it will solve all the problems.
I know how it feels when you write a long mail and you accidently press a Power button (on some mulitmedia keyboards which works only in windows) located very near to delete button. It happened to me today and I almost punched the monitor instantly.
What are we going to do after detecting a asteroid having a probability of 1 heating us?
Nothing.
So lets first develope some strategy/technique to avoid such a disaster and then start detecting the probable hits. Putting money in detecting first will waste of money and time.
We will be in more panick situation if we know there is something which is going to hit us but we can't do anything about it.
Such devices look very interesting the day they launch but get oudated in six months or so; since there will devices in market with higher resolution at lower price in next six months.
So unless and untill there is a very unique idea behind it like iPod, it's not worth the money you spend.
Why? Oh Why? they have to do it just one day before the starting of the holidays.
Its happening again this year also. Its very disheartening for all those admins who will be going on holidays to see the vulnerabilites just one day before the holidays and exploits the next day. I was admin couple of year ago and I know these conditions are living hell, when you will spend all your holidays thinking about your servers getting hacked or cracked.
Admins who have taken the backups will be in a better state though.
No matter what kind of encryption technology they have implemented for their IM; if the soldiers are going to use the webbrowsers in cybercafes in the foreign land. Then god help them. I have been here in KSA (Kingdome of Saudi Arabia) for six month now. All the MS-Windows systems in cybercafes are full of spywares, keyloggers and whats not. Most of these problems due to administratative rights given to all the clients who need just a browser. No matter what technology one uses over netwrok but its very difficult to get rid off key loggers.
After experiencing all that crap I bought a dial-up internet connections cards (Nesma and Zajoul)... both the connections are pretty slow for me though.. compared to my home country dial-up.. Now I can browse through Firefox with antivirus and personal firewall on.... Pretty safe feeling now. I get atleast one incoming connection to my system from the external internet every five minutes. I suspect these are from other dailup users(probably infected) only. Withought a firewall and unpatched MS-Windows system you will be a deadduck in hour or so.
I think they should give them secure client machines also. That will help them in better way. I read about the massive bandwidht they are enjoying in this IRAQ war. If they are routed through their own satellites then nothing like it.

Though they have mentioned the huge bandwidth numbers, the main reason they have stated for IPv6 conversion is the shortage of IP Addresses.
When IPv4 was rolled out, we thought those IP Addresses will be enough for our lifetime. Now lets see for long these IPv6 Addresses last.
I hope it does not turn out to be Bill Gates famous joke about 640KB will be enough for everybody.

Can I somehow overclock the clock in my office, so I can go home early?
By reading all those overclocking articles on slashdot, I think clock is the only remaining thing to be overclock.
Now, please do not come back to me saying that overclocking the internal clock is the first step to done before overcloking anything.

Don't ever click the unsubscribe links from those annoying emails.
Read all your mails in text based mail client (MUA) to get rid of those bugs crafted in HTML code to trace your activity.

wait....
