There will be a mass migration soon. That's what happened with Orkut (that only had succes here). The mass market (read the lower classes), with their new PCs bought thanks to the lower taxes, started to hang around Orkut, forcing the cool kids to move to Facebook. Now the mass is going to FB, so soon, the cool kids around here will jump in the + wagon.
Hummm...
That goatse idea is very interesting. Imagine a flood of shortened urls, all pointing to goatse.
That along with a Twitter exploit like the one from yesterday, would be funny as hell.
you know what? They are almost correct. The entire time system sucks! Who was the programmer of that shit? Let's screw it completely an make it decimal. And without leap hours or 29th februeary.
I never give real information to any websites. None. I have one spam email account that I use just for activating crap. I give them the wrong state, wrong everything. I don't want to even be included in accurate demographics. Why should I? I just know the information will be sold to some mega corporation. The "privacy statememnt" is not worth the paper it is printed on.
So that's why i received a package from amazon addressed to Seminal, John at my place yesterday.
In the very discusson about that exploit here on./, several (highly upmoderated) posts were highlighting spreadfirefox as a popular user of that CMS.
No patching even after being presented as an example for a vulnerable site is more than just neglectance.
Or it indicates that the Spread Firefox admins don't read/.
But phishing? Maybe you don't get the good ones, but it's next to impossible for even a relatively sophisticated user to distinguish them from authentic emails.
Probably you're right. I never got a really good one to know. But it's also like "it happened to a friend of a friend of mine", and I was a bit surprised.
I always thought that only old people would fall for these phishing and scam emails. The problem is, here in Brazil it's not like Korea: it is not so common to see old people using computers, specially for online banking.
Then one day I met this beautiful, smart and young lady who lost a big sum of money when she got phished. I was surprised to see a real person that got phished. I think she could get it back from her bank, though.
It was probably a national phisher, I don't believe it was a teenager from Romania.
i have fooey.net do wildcarding, so i get a few thousand spams a day just from so many people using @fooey.net as their e-mail address when they sign up for crap =\
That's why this guy didn't create an asdf@asdf.com account. He probably doesn't check the wildcard for this domain, either.
I actually did this to my parent-in-laws machine.
Because of the comment just above (not the parent, but the one shown in my thread view) I thought for a moment that you had set the goatse as ie's homepage at your parents in law computer... THAT would be funny!
there was a story in the O GLOBO newspaper (http://arquivoglobo.globo.com/pesquisa/texto_grat is.asp?codigo=1866178 - in portuguese) about the investiment of the brazilian government to release a U$100 dollar computer (actually 300 brazilian reais, 102 dollars yesterday) untill christmas, "with quality hardware and a program with low cost 20 hours dial-up connection per month". there is a 7.5 million potential homes bennefited. the computer would come with open source sortware.
We are running the aggregator on a 256Kbps cable modem (as I said above) but the BW usage is so rediculously low that it could be run on a dialup 56k modem
And what do you do with the rest of the bandwidth? Download music with a p2p program?

is the iPhone's main feature for me. But if you like it, nice to have the choice.
Yes, we always do. Don't underestimate the space needed to store pr0n.

is actually the percentage of /.ers who will post "It doesn't add up"!
You got me. I was gonna write "a beautiful young lady with large breasts", but it would be too obvious.

Is there a .torrent already?
Please, clarify this to me: Is there a Microsoft release that is actually NOT beta?
you can
I keep Firefox running on Windows for days without closing
You should be given a gold medal just for keeping windows running for days.
All I have to do is run my finger down the right side and it simulates a scroll wheel.
You mean stimulate the nipple?

well, now we can read the /. IT articles without fear of damaging the eyes...
For others, its just the effort to think a little bit.
