This is an interesting radar image showing the scale of the breakup that illustrates quite why wreckage has been found over an area of hundreds of miles.
NAME: Ilan Ramon (Colonel, Israel Air Force)
Payload Specialist
PERSONAL DATA: Born June 20,1954 in Tel Aviv, Israel. Married to Rona. They have four children. He enjoys snow skiing, squash. His parents reside in Beer Sheva, Israel.
SEMAPHORE will cost SDF more than double its current rent, however, the technical team seem much more willing to help us. Please watch here for updates.
A breach of contract, a new ISP, and couple the costs for a public service that has been running for fifteen years all because of a dumb DoS attack. As they say, many people have come to rely on SDF. This is one of the dumbest stunts that I have seen an ISP pull in a long time and I hope that NWLink have apropriate and successful legal action taken against them.
In Mel's dream, he was struggling with a deer. He awoke with his hands on his wife's head and chin
That sounds like something Homer would to in The Simpsons to his pillow... not a real life disorder. Some of the storys in the article are quite horrific - good read though.
They can hardly be accused of typo-cybersquatting if the O is two rows up and a bit right from the M. Perhaps spoken errors could come into play, but this sounds like quite a petty case. And who the fuck would mistake a PDA site for a Cartoon site?
Tens of thousands of computers containing now-dormant Leaves worms await instructions from their master. Should they ever again awaken, a posse will be waiting.
Just like the large dump of carbon in the South American rainforests that when released will wipe out mankind? Or the meteor that just might wipe us out in 50 years. Besides, if its an official, but publically avaliable, document the facts will of been twisted at least several times.
I thought that an xbox may run pretty well as a PC, but a wal-mart PC would be better? I'm pretty shocked at that considering how technologically 'good' it is for console games. Nice to see a 'proper' PC <> XBOX comparison mind you.
The UK has a national phone telemarketing opt-out service, for free, which I am on. Since subscribing to it I have recieved very few telemarketing phone calls. The very occasional one I do recieve is either on my ex-internet line (i'm not sure if thats listed) or a disreputable company I just hang up on. It works.
Pattern recognision is lossless in a way, where one reference is always referred back to the first occurance. I dont know how this applys to audio files, if I am right at all (I dont know much about compression tbh) but if data compression lost data in the process, then the files spewed out on decompression would be corrupted, no?
Apologies if that doesnt flow together.
The day someone makes an app that makes my dust display a VGA output I'm won over.
How do you judge a products security.

[H|Cr]acker Insurance
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
'Mainstream' servers like IIS and Apache will have their flaws documentation within days, perhaps hours, of being discovered. This will make insurance on servers like this easier to judge. What about a home-brew image server? Or an obscure small scale database from sourceforge. Auditing and insuring as apropriate for these applications would be a slow and tricky process (the cynic in me says it is yet another business oppertunity) as many thousands of apps would have to be tested and rated on an insurance-risk-table - if you do want to be insured from this so called 'h/cracker threat' it isn't going to come cheap.
Train a new PC user up on linux (say, mandrake), its ins-and-outs, and everything related, and you will have a competent pc user that can do most things windows users can do but slightly better.
'We wont develop because there isnt enough of a target userbase' - If good applications are developed that outweigh the rivals then surely a userbase creates itself? Or am I just naive in thinking that eventually Apple servers could stand their own against MS and *NIX servers
Having never heard of AIC before I cann't make a fair opinion, but going on what other people have said its likely to be another sub-standard gaming site just like the internet doesnt need. News sites of any kind require quality editing and integrity, not made up stories.
Everyone is used to having their hub/router with a password on it, and in the manual one of the first things it says to change is the password. If a cable engineer installed a cable modem, though, I would not immidiately think 'oh this thing is gonna have a password' and rush off and change it. This is coming from a slashdot member - joe hardware-illiterate may not even realise that the darn thing has a password, let alone that the admin interface is publically accessable to anyone who wants to try their luck with 1234. I saw another post further up that said they didnt know it had an interface at all - this is worring.
Strategy 1: Shut down the sites that provide the software. Spend millions in the process. Result: Another site springs up and takes over the 'mainstream' market. Napster > Audiogalaxy > KaZaa > ?
Strategy 2: Impose a blanket surcharge on internet access assuming that everyone downloads music Result: Uproar from the public were it to be put in place as the majority of internet users dont download music. Paying the 'music industry' for the privalege of accessing the internet is effectivley stealing from the users.
Strategy: Sue individual users. Result: For every one user proscecuted there are still millions sharing their files worldwide. Net effect: 0
Amongst things touched upon are the open-source business model, how vendors will be tempted into locking in customers into their offerings, and other things
Part of the good nature of the open source community is the sense of freeness and sharing. Locking people into certain 'offerings' and related things is completely against these values. All the hassle of open source without the benefits of the community that surrounds you - rather pointless if you ask me.
He wanted to play some movies and distrobuted the software. Whats so wrong with that? disclaimer: may be over simplified as i dont know the full situation

Government listens to citizens! Peace comes to the world!
More seriously I am pleased that such legislation was dropped. The less 'corrupt' CDs I see the better.
One of those regerating creature guns from half life! Ammo costs will be cut to almost 0!

Would YOU spend $10M on a computer that lets you win $200k?
Spend enough money and just about anything can be solved.
The day a compiler makes programs based on what it thinks we want a program to do is the day that conventional computing goes out the window.
