May has seen a noticeable spike in cybercriminal activity, suggesting that even the arrest of Sven Jaschan...has done nothing to curb the problem.
I doubt these arrests ever really curb the problem but instead add to it. Those that are captured get their names known world wide and are considered by many l33t hackers, although most are nothing more than script kiddies. Some (Mitnick for one) start successful security consulting businesses and become published authors afterwards.
On the other hand, the monetary rewards for turning in a virus writer might be a better deterrent. I know people that would snitch on their own mothers for a reward!
Netscape was my default browser until version 4.7 when things went horribly wrong. That version was very buggy and seemed like it was rushed out the door way too early, and I wonder if that was around the time AOL took over.
I wasn't using linux back then and so I, like many others, began using IE. It was far better than Netscape then and I stayed with it for awhile. I gave Netscape another chance when version 6 came out but it too was very buggy. The only plus I found with it was that it had excellent CSS support and I believe that was the first version to have tabbed browsing...which I've become addicted too.
That was when I discovered linux and switched to Mozilla, and Firebird (now Firefox). I've never turned back since. When Netscape 7.0 came out it didn't appear to have any new features that I remember but it did seem to clean up a lot of the bugs from version 6. At that point I realized that Netscape was a viable browser again but it was too late to win me back.
AOL should have really began pushing version 7 to the masses. For IE users not yet exposed to the greatness of Mozilla (or even Opera) Netscape should have started gaining a lot of ground back from IE. With tabbed browsing, pop up blocking, integrated email client, better CSS support, and arguably faster rendering speed it blows IE out of the water. 25% market share against Microsoft is nothing to sneeze at either and they had the pontential to gain more.
Now I don't know anyone at all that uses Netscape and whenever I'm asked to recommend a decent browser I suggest Firefox. AOL would do better to give up on Netscape and throw their support behind Mozilla instead.
It's too bad really, because Netscape played a huge part in bringing the www to the masses. I'd like to see it do well again but since AOL messed everything up with it I don't hold a lot of stock in its future.
hey go into some detail on how the lack of new products also hurts multiyear subscriptions, because clients that buy the contracts expecting to get product upgrades may not renew if new items won't be available for a while.
You/., linux zealots, and Windows bashers never present the true facts. Windows may be closed source and proprietary but there are many programmers that contribute freely to Windows. Just in the past month alone I've received all of these updates at no extra charge:

Not only that, but I received a new browser enhancement called mywebsearch, a free time synchronizer called precision time, and I can check the weather anywhere with my new (might I also add...free) weatherbug program.
I understand that we can expect a ton more free programs/upgrades like the above when longhorn comes out. Quit bashing Windows and admit that more free programs/upgrades are available for us Microsoft users than you Linux/Mac users!
heh...you obviously have never asked a simple config question in #debian!
All kidding a side, I'd generally agree with that statement myself. I've met a few debian users who were very friendly and helpful, but there also are a few too many who act like they are l33t debian users and love to hit that 'RTFM' button.
Out of curiousity, what are you insuating? Are slackware|red hat|suse|etc less friendly than debian users? Are we possibly on to something here? Maybe it's because debian users love playing and sharing with their woody (version):P
but even if he really did find it what good does that do us? I'd prefer that scientists spend time and effort researching things that benefit us today...like helping me find my remote control:P
I stand corrected. Leaving out dist-upgrade was a mistake on my part but surely no one will be inspired to upgrade their server from my post...at least I hope not!:P
I think my point is clear though. There were already a bunch of the "oh no, I can't wait any longer for sarge, debian is ruined, blah blah blah" posts before mine and I just wanted to show that it easy to upgrade if you wanted to.
The main point that never seems to get across is that if you want to run bleeding edge software with debian you still can...and it's a simple apt-get dist-upgrade away (whether it's sarge or sid). Debian isn't losing anything, it's just being shifted around. I love the fact that you can do a net-install and choose what you want to run, which level to run it at, and whether you want to include non-free software.
I personally won't use Perl for backend programming on a website but if I had to I would probably buy this book based on the fact that it is authored by Paul DuBois.
When I first started out with MySQL I bought the book titled 'MySQL' written by DuBois. Since then, I've obtained a couple of other books about it and still find myself referring to his most often.
Too bad it isn't MySQL and (PHP|Python|Java). Who uses Perl in web programming anymore?
Funny thing the timing of this article. I've been using Linux for quite awhile on my servers and love it. I don't install gui's on them and do everything from the CLI. On my desktop I've been using XP, and as much as I don't want to, I love it as well. I went to the Real World Linux conference in Toronto last week and talked to some of the Xandros guys, and decided I'd dual boot my XP box in the hopes that I could eventually replace XP with a good Linux Desktop.
The install was incredibly easy, and it handled partitioning my HD and installing the MBR with minimal input on my part. That part blew me away, it was easier than installing Windows (any version).
Unfortunately, I had no sound and my printer wouldn't work. I have a Sound Blaster audigy2 card and a Canon I320 printer...both very common and both work flawlessly on XP. After messing around for a couple of hours I got them both to work.
I also use 2 monitors on this box and have a 128M Nvidia GeForce video card. The install handled my video card without any user input and set a decent default screen resolution. Unfortunately again, it would not support the dual monitors. After googling for awhile I discovered Xinerama and reconfigured my XF86Config-4 file to support the dual monitors...which now work as well.
I discussed this with a friend who also wants to see huge adoption of Linux on the desktop. I explained that as much as I was impressed with Xandros it still is IMO not ready for your average computer user. We agreed to disagree on this point, but until you can install a Linux distro without having to drop to the command line to get things working, it's going to be a hard sell to Joe Q Public.
Now I realize that my setup may be a little out of the ordinary compared to regular users and they may not experience any of the problems that I did but the point is this all works out of the box on Windows. I prefer the command line and didn't have that much trouble getting everything working that I wanted too, but you can't expect the average user to put up with it...not when it just works with Windows.
We've still got aways to go but we're definitely getting there.
It's a known fact that when playing blackjack that high cards favour the player and low cards favour the dealer.
I wish I had read this earlier and had the time to code a program using a simple algorithm that I think would work great...regardless of how many decks there are.
I think if someone were to use a constant integer (starting at a value of 0) that either gets incremented or decremented depending upon each card played you could adjust your bet accordingly.
Say the first 2 cards dealt out are face cards. Your counter would be set to a value of -2. Then 3 more cards are dealt that are all low cards. Your counter would now be +1. The higher the counter is the higher your bet should be for the next hand. Vice versa if the counter is negative.
The first few hands won't be very accurate, but towards the end of the deck(s) if the count is very high or very low, it should be a big indicator on how your odds are for the last hands.
Due to a pile of work I have to get done and the short notice about this game I can't test my theory...but it would be cool if someone took this idea and tried it out and posted back here whether it worked or whether it sucked!
Cyan and UBI just cancelled URU live as well. They gave excuses that not enough people signed up for the game to make it viable so they pulled the plug and promised a bunch of expansion packs instead...which sucks IMHO.
It seems like there just aren't enough gamers interested in paying a monthly subscription to make it profitable for game makers. That, and the fact that a lot of willing customers are still stuck with dial up internet access and can't enjoy these games anyways. Maybe when everyone can get easy, inexpensive access to broadband these games will garner more interest. In the meantime, I'll just keep hosting my lan parties.
MS pulled some damn dirty tricks out of their repertoire to win over users from Netscape because they couldn't win them over on quality...like some posters have suggested.
-MS couldn't compete with Netscape so they completely gave their browser away, free to use both personally and commercially. At the time, Netscape allowed free personal usage but required commercial usage to be licensed. (Free is always good, but in this case MS did it with the sole intent to squash competition. They had the revenue from their OS and a big bank account of course, while Netscape was a newcomer with only 1 product that was generating revenue from commercial licenses.)
-MS threatened the likes of Compaq (and others) by yanking their Windows license if they bundled Netscape into computers they were selling. Obviously, IE shipped with Windows but vendors weren't allowed to include Netscape. (Good way to stifle competition IMHO).
-MS integrated IE into the OS so it would load quicker and appear faster than Netscape.
-MS delayed API's to Netscape repeatedly.
Those were the big factors in sinking Netscape but none of them apply to Google. I know many people that can barely get around on a computer but if they want to search for something they use Google. It's so widely used that no one even blinks anymore if you tell them to "just google for it".
I think it's too late for MS to try and outpace Google. To compare MS vs Google to MS vs Netscape is unfair to say the least. Google doesn't need to be installed on the OS, it's free to use, and is so well known that it's name is a universally accepted word analogous to search.
My wife used to nag about "all that damn time you spend on the computer" until recently. I heard from a friend about a new game called URU that is like a sequel to Myst and Riven. I don't normally play games and my wife definitely does not...but we bought this and we're actually pretty impressed. It's not a shoot em up, and you pretty much just figure out puzzles and stuff but the graphics are great and the online version is just about ready.
You can play the online game for free right now while they are working out the bugs but the features that may interest you are voice chat (not yet implemented, so currently it's text chatting) and the fact that you can explore with whomever you want. You can create avatars that actually look like you and overall the game seems to have a lot of potential...if you like that kind of game.
2 things to warn you about. You need to play this game on a pretty decent computer with a good video card, and if your girlfriend ends up like my wife...you won't get as much work done anymore! Instead of her constant nagging about just plain being on the computer too much, now it's nagging that I spend too much time working when we should be playing the game together:)
I've tried the 2 of them and they both are pretty decent IMHO. The big difference, and I mean big, is how responsive each are on a fairly moderate system. After starting forte, I can go have a coffee and a smoke and maybe even take a quick nap...at which point forte should be running when I get back and I can then get to work.
Eclipse on the other hand is really fast. When I first tried it I couldn't believe that it was a Java program. It even looks good, rather than that ancient, dull look that most Java apps have.
Since then, I've upgraded to a P4 with 1G ram and they both run pretty good (although Eclipse is still much faster). I do like both of them but Sun and IBM and anyone else interested in furthering Java should collaborate on 1 killer IDE that puts any MS tools to shame, and allows lazy programmers (like me!) to be more productive in less time:) As Eclipse appears superior to forte and probably has the largest installed base (don't know how it compares to Jbuilder) Sun would probably get a lot more respect from developers.
Unbelievable! I can't fathom spending $100 on something like this, especially when the kid caved in for a friggin xbox and a MCSE certificate (or whatever it was).
I'm not sure what will become worthless first...the WIPO book or SCO stock but either way this just has to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen!
I didn't read the article to see if a link was there but here it is again
Can you not buy a dell computer in the US without MS on it? I wasn't clear on whether this applied to desktop computers and/or servers but I recently purchased a dell poweredge 1750 and I had several options. I could choose Windows, Linux (Red Hat), or no operating system at all. Of course I chose the latter and installed good ole debian but that's besides the point.
Either way, I hope this is the start of a popular trend. In my case, several potential vendors I looked at first lost out because they only sold servers with Windows preinstalled.
Ya I just noticed that's been released. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I'll certainly be downloading it shortly and giving it a try.
There's been a couple of times I've forgotten an access code or password and the original email from Mailinator is long gone. If I understand correctly, Nator will let me download that email to my MUA so I can save it but the site that sent it is none the wiser.
Sounds like a nice addition to Mailinator:) Anything that helps lessen the attack on my Inbox is good in my books!
I look forward to this being released. I've tried several different gui's for working with MySQL but have not found one that does everything I hoped for. Until it's released, I've found combining Dbvisualizer
and phpMyAdmin works.
It would be really nice to have the features of both all combined in one nice gui...which is what I hope this will be.
"unless I'm looking for one of those precious "email validation" messages."
A bit off topic but I found a cool site that handles those email validation messages you need to get once in awhile. It's called mailinator. Anytime you want to register with a site that asks for your email address so they can send you a validation code (and inevitably spam you to death) you can use mailinator's service for free. All you have to do is write bobs_your_uncle@mailinator.com and then you can login into that account at mailinator. All messages received there get deleted in a few minutes and do note that anyone else can access it as well, but it certainly is a good service to handle for that exact case you mention!

oops, in hindsight I realized I shouldn't have lumped Mitnick in with virus writers, at least I don't think he was.
Damn, where is that undo button?
May has seen a noticeable spike in cybercriminal activity, suggesting that even the arrest of Sven Jaschan ...has done nothing to curb the problem.
I doubt these arrests ever really curb the problem but instead add to it. Those that are captured get their names known world wide and are considered by many l33t hackers, although most are nothing more than script kiddies. Some (Mitnick for one) start successful security consulting businesses and become published authors afterwards.
On the other hand, the monetary rewards for turning in a virus writer might be a better deterrent. I know people that would snitch on their own mothers for a reward!

Anytime you want to register with a site that asks for your email address so they can send you a validation code (and inevitably spam you to death) you can use mailinator's service for free. All you have to do is write bobs_your_uncle@mailinator.com and then you can login into that account at mailinator. All messages received there get deleted in a few minutes and do note that anyone else can access it as well, but it certainly is a good service to handle for that exact case you mention!
