If in fact EBay does purchase Sotheby's, a good question to ask would be what their plans would be.
I suppose using Sotheby's as a channel for new featured merchandice would work fairly well. By this type of corporate move, are they shifting their buisness model above and beyond the online auctionhouse?
Currently Ebay holds no merchandice. They need no storage for goods. By purchasing Sotheby's, will they begin channeling in the goods to a wherehouse, and sell it outright themselves, giving a cut or percentage to the previous firm/owner?
Or will they just purchase the Brand name and leave Sotheby's to their own ends, and allow easy cross-branding plans?
Internet2, which you mentioned in your post, is not for the general public. Taking a look at http://www.internet2.edu will explain that Internet2 is only for academic, medical, or scientific purposes.
Please think twice before misrepresenting projects and efforts. A clear distinction should be made between the IPv4 network that we exist on now, and what IPv6(ipv4 allowed) transitional phase we shal become in the years ahead. Internet2 is not "a new internet" designed to replace the corporate dominated world we connect and live in today.
I apologize for linking to main.html instead of index.html -- I was unaware, as that was the only link that had been circulated to me. Kudos for all the cool work. One thing you're mistaken about however, which is sadly fairly typical in a primarily male-dominated geek world is that the "He" that you refer to is actually a 19 year old female:) Pleasure to meet you. *curtsey* -krs
Well, the way it all works is simple. Microsoft bought MSN Hotmail because simply put there were 45 million accounts already in use.
The slapped a "Passport ID" inside the "dat" (user login file) file for every user already on hotmail.
Then, they made changes to the Hotmail DB lookup system so that it could be used in other implementations.
On all of these sites, they query the hotmail db's, they check the passport ID's, and boom, you're logged in.
Basicly this was a fairly good attempt, regardless of the implementor or who's pocket it came from, to start a centralized password database.
Believe it or not, the only thing that really needs to be feared from hotmail employees is when you piss them off. There are 45+ million different accounts. It's alot of effort to get into those machines to see such text. There's about 15 people who have access to it.
Microsoft may own Hotmail, but they have no direct footage to "look at the information" for their own needs.
Yes, but in my opinion, the hype caused by the "security threat" announcement psychologically will trigger people to want to "claim ownership" of those domains. Think about it.
Hrm, has the thought occured to anyone that by alarming all of us slashdotters to this not-so-important security hole that the hype and alarm of this story rushes each and every one of us to _GIVE NSI A PASSWORD_. Most folks dont believe in smart passwords. Most folks use the same password everywhere.
You may have just given NSI more power then they deserve.
Wouldn't you just love to be a corrupted employee working for dot com mail?
Just think... if you were, you'd have passwords to hundreds of thousands of root accounts, etc.
God, what the hell were you guys thinking doing this. Big whoop. Spank NSI.
What's so special about this guy? Who cares... Are we going to write slashdot articles about every new technically savvy person who winds up on MTV from now on? If so, i think we're gonna have to ponder getting some new content editors:P *duck* *grin*
I've run my own journal based website (http://illusion.org, link @ the top of my comment) for about 4 years now... this guy really dosen't have shit for entertainment. His webpage looks tacky, his attitude seems lame, and he's a media whore.
Jon, when in the hell are you going to talk from your own experience and not just repeat shit that's already publicly known? your posts are boring as all hell. jeeze. who cares. btw this was already talked about by rob and misc others. get some new material. original material.
What's the point. Everytime we make big hype about a public release, something allways goes wrong, and kernel.blah.blah+1 shal be released within a few days. What's the point of using slashdotters as dogfood. heh. save the linux-kernel list the spam
I recently was terminated from MSN Hotmail... I only made 43.5k working from them, and could hardly afford a 1 bedroom junior apartment (with smaller square footage then most shitty slum-quality studios)...
The sad truth behind this article is that without roommates, living in the bay can virtually be impossible.
I remember my boss yelling at me when requesting 43.5... he wanted to pay me 38k or 33.5k... I mean fuck, I could hardly even afford living with a roommate paying half the bills when we shared a 1 bedroom apartment. (one of us staying in the bedroom, the other staying in the living room.)..
It's a tragedy that managers in the valley consider this acceptable pay for doing junior, mid-level, or senior administration.
And what's the saddest thing of all is that this kind of treatment came from Hotmail. Microsoft. figures. at least i dont work for the man anymore.

anyways, now that i've got a fairly high up spot.. heh heh..
what i really wanted to say was that it's nice that magic-sw donated the 10k... I was really wondering at LWCE what they were doing regarding that.
wild animals, in captivity or not, shouldn't be media promoters. period.
