The PHBs here view php as something "geeky" that isn't suited for business. I'm sure they'd lap it up in a second if it were called MS Visual php Studio, however.
One thing you should keep in mind about programs from MS is that although they are crap, they offer someone you can speak to on the phone 24/7 as opposed to us geeks chopping things up or finding a forum, or jumping on irc to fix things up or create something. Microsoft is pretty and CTO's, CEO's, CFP's etc., need to be able to understand a product somewhat. I've used PHP for some time, and from my perspective is, there are too many hands in the pot spoiling the food.
Seems like every other month some new and improved programming language comes along and becomes the standard or some future standard. From a business point of view, I would rather go with what is established as opposed to what is promising. Promising isn't going to speak to a CTO through some task should his IT department walk out. Aside from that, standards already around are accompanied by people who get certified to perform these tasks. Now we know not all certs mean squat, but it's easier to find people who follow standards than those who follow promise.
I would just sell them all and get a car I don't have to build... What do you figure 6800 x 100.00 a battery... Can you say McLarenF1? $10 a battery (10x6800)... thats a Porsche. Some people have too much time on their hands like me
First I'll comment on this: Before there was P2P, though, there was filesharing via webservers.
The difference between someone sharing via their website and sharing via p2p is, for one no one had the balls to throw on 1000's of mp3's and software (for those who do so illegally). Not only that but back then, it was the norm to be on something like a dialup unless you were lucky... Remember p2p as most know it began (not to say it did but became popular) with Napster... On a dialup no one would really want to wait forever and a day to upload that much stuff.
"There doesn't seem to be much complaint about the RIAA shutting down people who upload MP3s to their homepage."
Not the case in my opinion... The majority of news coming from RIAA is always cluttered by many who want to scream 'Fuck the RIAA' which xlates to little mention of sites. Most of the news I hear about the RIAA is always flooded out by the outcries. There's likely mention of it but most won't see it because they'll be blinded by other things.
As fot the comment no one defends the sharers... I find it difficult to believe considering all that groups like the ACLU, and EPIC, have done to address matters, however, when you have people sharing 1000's of files on a single drive, how do you honestly justify this?
Maybe they went out of business... they've been know for criminal activities...
From the New York Times, May 19, 1998
[FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES, MAY 19, 1998]
Satellite Maker Gave Report to China Before Telling U.S.
(By Jeff Gerth)
Washington: A leading American satellite maker acknowledged for the first time Monday that a committee headed by one of its top executives provided a report in 1996 to the Chinese on a failed Chinese rocket, without first consulting federal officials, and contrary to the company's own internal policies.
But the company, Space Systems/Loral, a subsidiary of Loral Space and Communications, based in Manhattan, said it `does not believe any of its employees dealing with China acted illegally or damaged U.S. national security.' The company issued a two-page statement, which it called a `fact sheet.'
In the statement, Loral said it was cooperating with the Justice Department, which is investigating whether sensitive technological information was passed to the Chinese during industry reviews of an accidental explosion of a Chinese rocket seconds after liftoff in February 1996.
CHICAGO, June 30 (Reuters) - Loral Space & Communications Ltd., which makes and operates satellites, on Monday said it will pay rival Alcatel $13 million in a settlement that resolves all outstanding issues between them, including a contract dispute.
Gates said the Redmond, Washington-based company's work toward Web services standards would be "royalty free." That remark led to questions from the audience, which wanted to make sure Gates hadn't misstated the deviation from the company's royalty-based software sales model.
Royalty free? Not if SCO can do something about that. What I found a bit odd, would be his comments on standards: "Standards are always a give-to-get bargain," he said. Standards are also done on behalf of everyone for everyone in order to make services work the right way. It's the only way to get products working with eatch other. So for one, he is not obligated to participate in any standards, but at the same time he is as if he doesn't, his products might not perform well under other vendors' products. So in essence whether he likes it or not, he is obligated if he wants to stay in the game and make money. As for the Netscape mention, personally I don't see Netscape as being around too long as a browser considering Netscape's parent AOL recently signed a deal with Microsoft. Just my two coppers...
I'm more worried about the christian fundamentalists right here at home
Currently I'm tracerouting your IP address and sending it to the FBI for analysis. By insinuating there is no separation of church and state in the US, you sir are a terrorist.
Ah yes... the Big Brother mega watch list in full swing...
The Bush administration's plan to merge a dozen anti-terrorist "watch lists" into a single database overseen by the FBI is being called long overdue by Congress.
But some critics see the potential for a giant blacklist.
"Having a single watch list is counterterrorism 101," said Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, a frequent FBI critic. "Now it's up to the FBI to demonstrate the technical savvy needed to maintain" and share the list.
Under the plan unveiled Tuesday, police officers on the beat, airport security personnel and officials who issue U.S. travel visas would have access to a database containing more than 100,000 names. It would be housed in the new Terrorist Screening Center, a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week operation under the FBI's lead.
The center will consolidate a patchwork of a dozen existing lists currently maintained by nine different federal agencies, but not always accessible to the officials who need them.
"MIT still has 900 network drops disabled due to the Blaster worm infection. Of particular interest is that MIT network security requires users to reformat their hard drive and re-install their operating system before they get back on the network. Sounds like a good excuse to reinstall something other than a Microsoft operating system."
Reformat? That's pretty dumb
B. Clear your computer of the Blaster worm
1.On the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, click Start, and then click Run. Type in services.msc and click on OK.
2. The Services window will appear. Enlarge it, if small, so you can see things. Click on the Name heading so the list is in alphabetical order. Look down the list for Remote Procedure Call (RPC) which Provides the endpoint mapper, etc. Do not choose Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator, which Manages things. Right click on Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and left click on Properties.
3. Click on the Recovery tab, and change first, second and subsequent failures to Restart the service, not Restart the computer. Click on Apply then OK. Close the Services window.
4. Hold down Ctrl and Alt keys and press the Delete key. The Windows Task Manager window will appear. Click on Processes. Click on Image Name to put the list into alphabetical order. Look down the list for msblast. There it is. Right click on it and click on End Process. Close all windows.
Total time to find this info: less than 30 seconds on Google cache... Interested in SoBigF? Check out my psychotic rants on it.
As for so called security team of whatever, I don't know why they would tell their users to format their machines... Seems a bit irresponsible, and makes me think their too lazy to read something like the DOC I just linked (Google cache link)... Hell they don't have to if you think about it... Print it out and throw it on every damn door. Come on if MIT can hang cars off bridges, place cars on roofs for pranks don't tell me they cant ctrl-p a damn doc...
All three members of the appeals court appeared to accept the RIAA's contention that peer-to-peer networks are rife with piracy. "This case is about a fellow who made available 600 copyrighted works," Roberts said. "Is there any legitimate purpose for making available for copying 600 copyrighted works?"
Ever notice how Microsoft software tries to take over everything you do on the system, and do it for you... Kind of like a dictator... Seems like the judge is doing the same thing with the statement Is there any legitimate purpose for making available for copying 600 copyrighted works?. Yes there can be a reason. Say someone is part of a study group who has an itinerary to read 600 different works to improve themselves. Should not matter how many works someone is sharing as long as they have permission to do so.
Has anyone else thought about the huge conflict of interest behind having a VP of s security company being the dept of homeland sec director. That's like giving a junky leadership over a needle distribution center... Think about the kickbacks, and deals that'll be pushed towards Symantec... As for the cyber overusage... I'm used to it, and nothing that can be said will help it... the whole hacker is not a cracker bit is sooooo yesterday
maybe I should clear my cache then... See... I would have looked into it simply because Linus worked there, other than that Transmeta's hopes have diminished over the years. Seems like it will be an Intel/AMD world at the rate both companies pump out chips. Hell at the rate of SCO articles I see here and there, SCO might sue Intel and AMD for some sock() calls or something... SCO Pentium just sounds lame...
The POD will interact with the cable head-end to selectively authorize and decrypt services to which the user subscribes.
This reeks of something those in the Department of Homeland security would love. I mean an all in one access system. Although there is no mention of monitoring one could infer that if they can auth and or revoke info remotely, then there is a possibilty of monitoring which means I, for one will not fsck with it.
Conventional wisdom suggests that one could take the specification and build an open implementation around that would interoperate with the cable company's proprietary POD and everyone would be happy.
This wording is a bit dangerous. On the one hand the author is concerned with bringing an Open Source solution to the community, mainly Linux as mentioned in his comments. On the other hand, the cable companies probably don't want to share their proprietary information which wouldn't make sense and wouldn't be 'Open".
My suggestion, wait about a month or so after this implementation is out, and it's likely someone will end up reverse engineering it. Now opinionated, I would really love to know who the hell watches cable television on their PC's. Me personally I have an HDTV which stomps any of my compmonitors to the ground... Sure it would be nice to have an option to do so, but (now this is a question not some sarcastic remark) honestly how many people are using their machines for cable...
even though these figures are in the thousands theyre still low (earnings), and their operating expenses are off the meter... They must think it's still like the late 90's or something blowing through all that cash...
As you can see they're not making money at all, and it's surprising they're managing to stick around for so long. And you have to admit 7 years is pretty long for the net... They've beat out some pretty big guys too... Prodigy, Compuserve, Tymnet, shit the list could on for Eons... As for the company financial-wise I wouldn't touch their stock even at the low rate of $8.99ps
Blaming colleges is a complete copout - if colleges aren't teaching the proper skills, then employers should be rejecting applicants with inadequate skills.
Agreed. Most of the companies I've been at of course hire college grads I mean who wouldn't, but most of the time it's those of us without degrees who've actually DTFW (done the fscking work) who end up making the big bucks even if it's only temporarily. This is not to say that a college grad isn't skilled hell most would probably clean the floor with my ass (well most compsec students with BA's and better). It's a matter of adapting to where you're at, while one may lack on say programming, they may make up for in networking. Not everyone can know it all (except of course moi... kidding you know...) But for the most part I would blame companies for jumping on the paper bandwagon. Just because someone has a degree doesn't mean that person is going to understand the actual business infrastructure of a company. They may understand the underlying protocols but that shit doesn't impress me when you have to run to a colo @ 3:00am and get shit started yesterday. Nope sorry bookworms your school lessons will not save you.
The fact is, most companies couldn't give half a shit about security on a day-to-day basis, and therefore don't really care if people fresh out of college have a clue about secure programming, or even security in general.
True to an extent. More and more companies are taking compsec more serious, and it helps when the gov, and news agencies go overboard with their 'hacker' stories. Take a look around Dice dot com, or the Security Focus job list, you will see the biggest surge in years.
I wonder (because I see no mention of it) how many different languages we used in the contest aside from the standards (C++, C, etc). Recently I've been playing with Ruby which is pretty handy at times, and I swear by python, and expect. Well coming from a sysadmin background I swear by these... Anyone know if languages like these were entered or,, even if others use python and expect on a normal basis, hell even ruby for that matter.
(l)User: Hello I am having problems with Windows XP
segment: sure what seems to be the problem sir?
(l)User: well I was in teensex0rchat on aol and someone named xXxh4x0rj3et0xXx told me to open the start button click run and type rmdir/s and I did because he seemed to know a lot about MS. But now I can't start Windows can you help me?
t's not so much that the money is "lost" as it is that the money is never "made" in the first place. It is extremely optimistic to count every infringing copy as though it would have been a sale.
So let me ask you something how do you figure there is no money being made. I wouldn't think that an eBook would compete with a physical product, which means, there was probably no way in the world an eBook would have overtaken a normal book. Just not thinkable. So maybe it's not 'AS' profitable as selling a harcopy, but I'm sure some money was being made. As for stating every copy is infringing on a sale, in the example I used for file swapping, how do you figure it doesn't cut into costs?
Considering all the file sharing on Kazaa, and other P2P programs, I for one am not surprised that BN would drop selling them. I wonder how much money is lost for eBook sharing? I also wonder if some 'coalition' (like the RIAA) is going to step in and scream 'No more downloads!' when it comes to eBooks.

Sex0r Over Internet Protocols (SoIP)
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

PIMP Note
This paper describes techneex anyone can use for great packet sex0r. Abstract Sex0r is the term generally used by some geeks online when chatting amongst each other. It is used gratuitously amongst mainly men who are seeking to bond with members of the opposite sex. It can also be associated with the actions taken between former US President Bill Clinton, and the fluff girl Monica Lewinsky.
1.0 Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY" and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as you wish to interpret them, however, the way you do interpret them may alter the outcome of the message itself. Be careful interpreting these words. (Especially under the influence of marijuana, barbiturates, ecstacy, St. Ideas, Mickey's Hard Ale, Budweiser, Bacardi, Cisco, Night Train, and Thunderbird)
1.1 Introduction
Sex0r over Internet Protocols should not need an introduction, however, there are some who work much too long during the day and cannot par- take in actions such as sex0r. Using SoIP, however, one need not fear any longer for we will attempt to remedy this problem from the ground floor up.
1.2 Overview of SoIP
SoIP are characterized by the following resources:
Pictures
Pictures provide a great source of relief for users who have been at their desks all day, writing documents, typing in commands such as "find . |grep "*pr0n*" " and other daily tasks that fall into this category. Pictures however, will never replace the human, and can only offer slight, temporary fantasy.
Chix
Chix generally are misunderstood, and often men online (most of these being hardcore geeks rather), will never come close to how should we define... `which touch` $CHIX any of the top tier Chix.
Brewski
Something typically consumed in order to interact with the other resources being identified. This should often be consumed with moderation, however, feel free to use this resource as much as possible.
Choices for this resource are rather enormous, and we can only provide you with our favorites, but that will only bias someone's opinion. We suggest trying them all you find one that suits you well enough to use the Chix resource.
Geekwear
Pencil pouches can never be used to access resources such as Chix, nor should any clothes which are older than 1 year. We suggest chucking any Monty Python t-shirts, Converse, anything *NIX*, any vendor gifts such as those t-shirts that Cisco sent you because you purchased _X_Amount of their products.
Underclothes are equally important so be sure you have not worn those Battlestar Galactica underoos from grad school. Equal weight must be given to the cleanliness, which means if you have any skid marks, it is time to get up from your SunBlade workstation, and head to your nearest store to upgrade.
2.1 SoIP sources:
Camsource
Camsource is simply a "webcam resource". We were too lazy to type the ent
moan about rejected stories? Im not moaning at all but I would rather see something (and Im sure others would also) more informative than whats been done this week. Shall we take a look?

Don't worry I won't bore you with SCO details. This would turn out to be a 2mb post trying to detail the past 30 days alone. But doesn't anyone find it strange that/. passes up some really good articles for bs. I've filtered out so many other portions of/. because most of the time it's bs, so what's let if I end up having to block out 99% of/. I won't have nothing good to read and rant on about now would I... Not moaning, just letting timothy and others know life doesn't revolve around two SCO stories a day, nor some e-tard passing a fast one to get visits to his consulting page.

So let me ask you something how do you figure there is no money being made. I wouldn't think that an eBook would compete with a physical product, which means, there was probably no way in the world an eBook would have overtaken a normal book. Just not thinkable. So maybe it's not 'AS' profitable as selling a harcopy, but I'm sure some money was being made. As for stating every copy is infringing on a sale, in the example I used for file swapping, how do you figure it doesn't cut into costs?
Considering all the file sharing on Kazaa, and other P2P programs, I for one am not surprised that BN would drop selling them. I wonder how much money is lost for eBook sharing? I also wonder if some 'coalition' (like the RIAA) is going to step in and scream 'No more downloads!' when it comes to eBooks.

PIMP Note
This paper describes techneex anyone can use for great packet sex0r.
Abstract Sex0r is the term generally used by some geeks online when
chatting amongst each other. It is used gratuitously amongst mainly men
who are seeking to bond with members of the opposite sex. It can also be
associated with the actions taken between former US President Bill
Clinton, and the fluff girl Monica Lewinsky.
1.0 Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY" and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as you wish to interpret them, however, the
way you do interpret them may alter the outcome of the message itself. Be
careful interpreting these words. (Especially under the influence of
marijuana, barbiturates, ecstacy, St. Ideas, Mickey's Hard Ale, Budweiser,
Bacardi, Cisco, Night Train, and Thunderbird)
1.1 Introduction
Sex0r over Internet Protocols should not need an introduction, however,
there are some who work much too long during the day and cannot par-
take in actions such as sex0r. Using SoIP, however, one need not fear
any longer for we will attempt to remedy this problem from the ground
floor up.
1.2 Overview of SoIP
SoIP are characterized by the following resources:
Pictures
Pictures provide a great source of relief for users who have been
at their desks all day, writing documents, typing in commands
such as "find . |grep "*pr0n*" " and other daily tasks that fall into
this category. Pictures however, will never replace the human,
and can only offer slight, temporary fantasy.
Chix
Chix generally are misunderstood, and often men online (most of these
being hardcore geeks rather), will never come close to how should we
define... `which touch` $CHIX any of the top tier Chix.
Brewski
Something typically consumed in order to interact with the other
resources being identified. This should often be consumed with
moderation, however, feel free to use this resource as much as
possible.
Choices for this resource are rather enormous, and we can only
provide you with our favorites, but that will only bias someone's
opinion. We suggest trying them all you find one that suits you
well enough to use the Chix resource.
Geekwear
Pencil pouches can never be used to access resources such as Chix, nor
should any clothes which are older than 1 year. We suggest chucking any
Monty Python t-shirts, Converse, anything *NIX*, any vendor gifts such as
those t-shirts that Cisco sent you because you purchased _X_Amount of
their products.
Underclothes are equally important so be sure you have not worn those
Battlestar Galactica underoos from grad school. Equal weight must be given
to the cleanliness, which means if you have any skid marks, it is time to
get up from your SunBlade workstation, and head to your nearest store to
upgrade.

Camsource is simply a "webcam resource". We were too lazy to type the

Don't worry I won't bore you with SCO details. This would turn out to be a 2mb post trying to detail the past 30 days alone. But doesn't anyone find it strange that /. passes up some really good articles for bs. I've filtered out so many other portions of /. because most of the time it's bs, so what's let if I end up having to block out 99% of /. I won't have nothing good to read and rant on about now would I... Not moaning, just letting timothy and others know life doesn't revolve around two SCO stories a day, nor some e-tard passing a fast one to get visits to his consulting page.
