...at the media subsidiary of one of the largest multi-national conglomerates in the world. We used to have separate badges but they've been standardized to one due to a new security system, and we can only stay for one year. The big difference is there is no caste system here and we get all the same perks that employees do, I think because it's a media company where they've historically always had more freelancers than staff employees.
If you are not familiar with OpenFirmware let me just say this, the PC BIOS is to OpenFirmware as a Model A is to an Infiniti G35 Coupe. I.e. the BIOS is ancient and extremely limited in it's functionality.
..."Firewire, HyperThreading, and other new hardware technologies". That seems to imply that Firewire is a new technology? How long has Mac OS supported Firewire? 15 years or something like that?
...really had plenty of time to gear up for the war. When 9/11 hit our sites were down for hours and overwhelmed for days even after we started publishing static pages.
I'm with YOH, who are fine but my previous small, local company actually paid for our health insurance. At YOH I have to pay the full premium. OTOH YOH is nice for administration reasons, on-line timesheet, YOH contact on-site, blah blah blah. Obviously I'd rather be staff instead, though.
I tried to RTFA. The 3 links that I read referred to the WebDAV exploit so I didn't bother with the 4th. Now looking at the 4th I see it's YAWE rather than YAIISE.
Right, unsolicited faxes are already illegal due to the waste of my paper and toner. Isn't some big fax company under indictment for this? Their defense is they're exercising their right to free speech.
It's not the zillionaires on Wall Street who got taken. It's the naive little guys that buy 10,000 shares of a 5 cent stock that pushes up the price of stock that this guy holds. Price goes to 10 cents or more, whoohoo, spammer doubles or more than doubles his investment. Guys that are still buying at 10 cents see their investment disappear as the price drops back down to 5 cents or below.
If he was targeting zillionaires he would have made much more than $150,000.
...when I feel the walls shake to the beat of some faraway b-boy with boom boom speakers filling up the back seat of their lame import I feel nothing but anger.
Precisely, previous posts on this subject lead me to believe Slashdotters have never heard of OpenFirmware or similar. OpenFirmware and OpenBoot are big reasons I stick with G4s and Sun Blades for home use.
I hope that is 500 kilobytes/sec rather than 500 kilobits/sec, I assume it is. I get about 6 megabits/sec with 802.11b here. And if you're looking for 5 megabytes/sec with 802.11g you're not even going to come close according to current tests published in eWeek. g barely doubles b's rate with current firmware. Hopefully when things are standardized vendors will start working on performance.

I have about half their catalog, particularly all the Jon Langford, Sally Timms, and Waco Brothers. Great people to buy from!
That's just insane.

SPARC isn't that open: Bad Sun
...was Technology Architect. Woohoo! Sysadmin or Network Admin works fine for me. BTW, WTF does Computer Infrastructure Specialist mean?.

...since we seem to have significant earthquakes every decade here in SoCal I'm not too concerned about a 7.5 in the next 2 millenia.

Infrequent? If readers easily pick out dupes, why can't someone who's in charge of the place?

I still haven't seen anything suggesting that this is a second exploit. It's just a dupe of the WebDAV exploit, isn't it?

He mentions that he can't ride a bike, yet he never explains why.

And Linux is relatively unsecure compared to other OSes. I prefer OAPP, OpenBSD-Apache-Postgresql-PHP.
Yeah, I have 2604 CDs at last count along with 5693 LPs. Do I want all the tracks from all the CDs on my Mac? No.
Yeah, you're right, it is about selection. That's why I don't have 32,000 songs in my library, 30,000 of which would most likely be crap.
