There is a very nasty document about CIA operations tearing down, killing and pushing IRAN to what it is nowadays. This is declassified CIA doc posted on NYT, so don't flame that fast.
IMHO U.S. citizens should judge severily their elected government (please don't start with bush weird election stuff, since it doesn't matter on the discussion).
Instead of helping Iran to become a free+democratic (WTH even capitalist!) country, it was completely tortured. Now we got this crazy ppl there, doing terrorism worldwide (including my country twice, and we never bothered them!).
Most US TV is convincing ppl to become racists against arabic/muslim men/women/children.
Ask yourself if nuking them is the right way of a free country to solve this problem.
Also what is it with Afghanistan now? Rambo made it a nice place to live, right?
Read ACM/SIGCOMM papers. It's all there.
I am talking CURRENT (not plain Reno) TCP stack.
(Try google and don't foolishly flame without reading all the many great papers they publish)
- You are a "room temperature IQ", clearly.
- RMS was one in a big crowd of IEEE guys
you are also a lamer. go support both Linus and RMS... Have you EVER seen RMS talk about Linus? He may not say it directly, fut it resembles me a talk of a rape victim. Linus fsck'd RMS. Hope RMS get his revenge somehow.
Intel and Microsoft have mutual optimization exclusivity suport. So AMD will never be good on M$. There even was an issue of 95/98 not BOOTING on AMD CPUs, and heard this coworker say "Yeah, AMD sucks bigtime"... This is what M$ corporate users think.
But on *nix (BSD, Linux, etc) AMD works great and will probably beat the hell out of intel, and remember the Internet server arena is not yet sominated like desktop and internal servers.
Maybe the guys who got M$ sourcecode should give it to AMD to let them optimize as Intel does;) Well there is always IDA!
When they get used to get Mars as a dead ORANGE rock, then they'll probably start the same FUD on Europa. then on some remote solar system, then...
And the'd keep the fundraising. doh!
They have mailing lists and SEVERAL webpages pointing out ALL the vulnerabilities. BTW the've found hundreds since 1996, and it would be nuts to post ALL on Bugtraq.
This shows CNN interviewer stupidity, and IBM guy's too.
There would be almost no attacks if software and administration were done with security in mind.
This IBM lewser recommends firewalls. It may prevent many things, but why were the servers unsecure on the first place! You can filter packets on each server. You can close unused services (ie. rpc, anon ftp, nfs). You can have a decent account and password policy. You can use heavy crypto. You can stop using telnet and the such.
What remains are just a very small part of the problem!
IBM hires clueless and not-yet-reformed hackers!

What this ibmer says is not true. Ask around in Defcon about IBM hirin hackers...;)
Even worst, they hire the ones who get caught (this is no thing to be proud!), as lots of consulting firms.
IBM asually cries whenever a vulnerability is reorted for their software. And their software doesn't seem to be programmed with security as a big issue.
I had the honor of exchanging a couple of emails with Mr. Stevens just a month before he was gone. He told me he was working on APUE (Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment) and it would take 18 months to finish it.

Thank God most of my BBS posts are dead. ;)
There are some issues with post 2.95 gcc with newer CPUS, specially with Athlons.
Those are explained here. Cache handling seems to be the big problem.
Transmeta is all vaporware, a couple of well known figures, and a chaos.
But, hey! in 3 years they could bring us another PC chip ;)

What Stallman did was to enforce that the system keeps being open source. And then Linus fsck'ed him getting all the spotlight.
PLEASE think befor posting, Linus didn't invent Unix/Posix. Nor Stallman did.

I'd like to see the day when a corp gets a high fine forn not patching a hole that's been aroud for MONTHS.

Why you ppl promote private companies stolen ideas? What about an effor on something REALLY distributed, so there will be no monopolist around?
WTF? There are great candidates on Argentina and Chile too. Go spam somewhere else.
Also a decent software provider can't release a patch without THOROUGHLY testing it first.
M$ did that kind of stupidities many times as an example...
And also what about them using "sockets"?!?!
Play the same rules your enemy chose!

It looks like IBM's mainframe hardware registration. EVERYTHING is from Apple, or at least licensed.
If they were like M$, they could even forbid using other OSs (ie. Linux) to run on their hardware.
Repeat after me: "Apple sucks!".
Maybe they did it on purpose to get publicity afterwards taking her "crown" off...
You could break it and ask for 100.000 or more instead of 10.000 of their change.
It is needed desperately, they would have to pay you! Crack, get a lawyer, get em' pay a fair price. ;)
This is NOT a nonprofit organization helping citizens, but a front of huge multi-billion dollar corporations.
Or a well known hacker group!
Their avarice shows their stupidity. This is twice as nonsense compared to brute-force hacking for testing crypto security.
And if you want to crack RIIA's crypto for fame, wait till it is widely used, then crack it and get fame ;)
Also I asked Gary wright to follow his work.
This was a heavy loss for us Unix programmers.
It's also nice the police beating the crap out of ppl from horses with BIG sticks...
Not exactly THIS bug, but it would work too.
