Everyone from large universities to even larger universities is on the internet, and we are running out of IP addresses fast! IPv2, with only about 65000 possible addresses is fine with only 15 computers connected, but what happens when every toaster, microwave, slide rule, clock, desk toy, and vibrator has its own ip address? Simple, just upgrade to ipv4. With a large enough address space to handle one or two IP addresses per person on the planet, there is no reason we should ever run out. Surely there will never be as much as one computer per city, let alone three IP addresses per person in use!
Lightbulbs are now being labeled a terrorist device, used to spy on people and documents at places including the pentagon, the whitehouse, and even the United Nations building. Hackers used the light bulbs to send out light, which when intercepted by their illegal hacker tools called "eyes", can identify diplomats, and read classified documents. Americans can rest assured that their safety is being protected by operation "hammerbulb". Democrats are concerned about a lack of hammers to complete the operation, but administration officials assure them that rocks can be used if the shortage proves true.
I am the Architect. I created the messenger. I've been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your instant messages, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my chat rooms you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first chat may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.
The problem is that a lot of spammers are just one person. I have to agree that any government (esp one like the united states has now) making any kind of law that exerts itself over the internet can't be good.
As for stopping spam, google "spam pal". It works with ANY pop3 email client that allows simple message rules (ie, if "spam" is in subject, move to "spam" folder).
How is works is you point your email client to localhost, and make your username @. Spampal downloads your email, marks anything it thinks is spam with a spam tag, and then acts like a mail server and allows your email client to download it. options include leaving it as it is (with spam tag), deleting it, moving it to a folder, etc. (depending on your client)
I took the jargon quiz, I got all of them right. It said this:
You got 7 right!
Have you thought about entering the competition to find the sexiest geek alive?
Sky-net used 60 teraflops in t3. SETI is obviously waiting for aliens to contact them so they can increase the efficiency of their processing to squeeze an extra 6 teraflops out. Then they can release the terminators and wait for the government to give them enough money to buy the world from the machines and rule with an iron fist.
CONSPIRACY!!!!!
It is similar, but not quite the same (ender's worm).
The worm would be based on a neural network capable of storing various infection and spreading techniques. Coupled with the neural network would be the âoestandardâ worm tools for infection and stealth. The core receives additional training information from other infected computers.
The first time a worm is activated, it creates copies of itself on the host in various places using various techniques. Many of these may be discovered. Their loss is more valuable to the species. After a predefined time, the âoeprimary wormâ contacts all other worms on the system. The ones that survived are considered evidence that the particular method works on a particular system configuration.
Next, it begins scanning the internet for other worms. When it finds one, it transmits a string containing two parts. One part describes various aspects of the system (operating system, versions of patches, versions of programs, versions of antivirus definitions, etc), the other describes the methods that successfully infected the computer. This information would be most certainly less than one packet.
When a worm receives one of these packets, it first verifies it, and then adds it to its neural network. It then queries its neural network using its system configuration string and reinstalls itself onto the system based on those parameters. Then it waits a shorter time (maybe 15 minutes) before resuming port scanning (to make sure the updates don't reveal itself before it begins contributing to the "gene pool" again)
This process allows the worm to evolve on its own and discover new ways to infect (assuming some sort of random mutation system).
The worm I am afraid of is one that learns (or at least adapts) using some sort of evolution-based algorthm. Several million computers is a sufficient "population" for the worms to gain a lot of knowledge about what works and what doesn't.
I had a Japanese teacher (she taught the language which is spoken in Japan, for clarification) once who would scan the paper for any mistakes in kana or kanji (Japanese symbols), such as lines not being quite straight when they should be, or it being out of proportion, and she would write "PUKE!!!!!" next to it. Then she scanned the page for any scratched out or poorly erased marks, and wrote "PUKE!!!!!".
Did it make me write them better, no, all it did was piss me off. Do these people complaining about me typing make me want to write cursive, no, all it does is piss me off.
Maybe things should change, look at how screwed up the past was.

when did that become plural for boxes
You mean its not boxeses?

Just let some dr pepper float around until it squirts out the hole.
Now they can outsource my job to orbit, where they don't have to pay for gravity or air...
Wouldn't it be 25:1?
I bet NASA is considering changing the landing position of one of the US rovers to rendezvous with the Beagle2. That would be awesome! Don't give up!
Some people shouldn't be allowed to watch crappy mars movies from 2000....
Duh, lord of the rings
Badly written man page
I think there is a surgery to correct that...
Stop generalizing posts with 'insensitive clod' in it, you insensitive clod!
Now I can spend even more time not learning math while my parents bitch about my grades.
This comment is a dupe of a dupe

When i read "RIAA Sues the Wrong Person", I thought they sued a mob boss or something.

sorry, forgot one word. Blowjob.
Maybe its because a lot of slashdoters would kill 8 to 10 thousand people just to get one.
