SCO Targets UK Firms
·
· Score: 1
If SCO can't break Gemany (where the government uses Linux heavily) then they certainly will not succeed elsewhere.
The UK law will not tollerate the kind of mockery that SCO plays in the US as we do not allow the appeal, reappeal nonsense.
You can be sure to see SCO back on your door steps very soon, most of the UK citizens who are not living next door to IBM south bank will probably not have heard of Linux over hear so anything SCO does to get into the papers will just give Linux further popularity.
If Linux will become as riddled as Windows it will be with kernel 41.7.9 or something. But until that day, I think its safer to be using BSD/Linux. May I add, OpenBSD has been many years without a remote exploit!
I can't say I've ever been hacked using a Unix based system. Nor can I say I've had a virus.
I think the virus count on Linux is 100 or something in that region, there's probably > 100 viruses being produced for Windows each day!
Lets think about it though... With Linux/Unix the author does not even know the architecure. This principle is commonly known as the Cathedral and the Bazzar. Cathedral being priest lecturing worshipers, and bazzar being a mass of people exchanging ideas. This may not be news to some, but when you find a whole in the holy book you may have a religous war on your hands.
The only thing the OpenSource community need worry any deal about is a virus in the CVS which can add a new int main( int argc, char **argv ) {} to source files, but then each developer has to look over it and compile it before something becomes a package...
"If it doesn't have a Makefile with./configure, make, I don't run it."
Agreed, they should be capable of doing that, but as the GUI is there to make things easier, why not make it harder to shoot one's self in the head first. No flame bait, no troll, just IMO.
If we apply the same technique of the open source browser to all of the Microsoft Operating system we can say that none of it is clean code since 2001 (possibly earlier).
The major opensource projects get looked at on a regular basis.
More often than not, it is indeed the user where the vulnerability lies.
MS could try a little harder to make it so that things are not by default running on all network interfaces. Consider IIS, it runs all over the place. If on a default home LAN you have a public and private IP address, why not make IIS run on the private interfaces by default, thus making the user manually assign services to those public interfaces?
The money _SHOULD_ go towards projects like Spamcop et al.
As someone else just mentioned its the ISP who sues and wins, part of the money will go towards damages involved in catching the nasty people.
The winning ISPs will probably now get a torrent of mail heading their way, which probably futher anoys their customers, but I bet they have tighter logging in place!
IMO it is much like putting adverts for Windows XP in Computer Weekly, we all know it's there but they're just trying to make me feel like its got more use or something. If we want to read about things that are new, we get onto/., to read things we know briefly about we get to NYT.
Are the names donators, beta testers, users or something?
I think if the advert was taken out in Property Owner Weekly or some other obscure magazine, the average reader would be wanting to know how exactly this helps them to own property, at least taking it out in the NYT means that those with their fingers on the pulse of the high energy world of NY will get more of an insight into the broswers progress.
I had forgotten about what may happen at the ISP level and evesdropping of that nature.
As for physical attack, encrypted filesystem will keep whats mine as mine for a while longer.
I do nothing illegal, I run a free OS and have no license fees to worry about like others. Its just the plain principle, it will be like fighting spammers over inbox content, but instead, for privacy.
I don't care! I use Debian and am only ever logged into user space.
I do not run sendmail/bind, the two must buggy and exploitable programs (on UNIX), so how does this help the police? Do the real criminals move to a platform where they can get security from the police, or are they too dumb, or confident to do this?
Would someone who runs Norton Personal Firewall who blocks this be held against the charge of obstruction?
By default the sender connects to the primary MX record, then the backups, and if no MX exists it connects to the A record.
A good idea is to apply RBL lists, such as SORBS, and make a primary MX (say priority 10) point to some rediculous place like this.mx.is.fake.domain.com (the A record would have no responding SMTP), and the backup (priority 20) being the actual receiver.
The above should help matters.
Using SORBS alone does meant that DHCP'd senders cannot connect. Greylisting is a very effective means too.
It's only after college that I have started reading more text books. I only read C++ while I was studying, now I'm reading all sorts, I'm more interested in learning things now that I'm exploring more ideas.
Students are going to be asking:
1) Duh does my intarweb still work?
2) Wheres my popups gone?
3) Why doesn't the flash movies work?
4) What are these tab thingys?
5) Whats a book mark?
Perhaps my comments were not fair. However, you don't have to maintain a network of IE related products. I think IE is one of MS's more stable products, unlike Word and Access, which can have a tendancy to crash more.
I expect they have orderes the snipers to take me out already, they have the money to do things like that you know.
Well I recently finished a BSc (Hons) Computing, after 6 years of computing study (various different computing courses), so I'm in a good position to add coment here.
The college students don't give a hoot as to what they are running, so long as they can screw it up. Remember the GNVQ Computer Studies reboot technicians can do little else than delete files. The Art students don't care if it says "Internet Explorer" or "Mozilla FireFox" at the window title, just so long as they can access hotmail.
The college administrator will not have to worry so often that something has screwed around with the network because the MS product is faulty.
How exactly do you remove IE from Windows without breaking their support agreement?
The browser supports the proxy system, a NAT gateway is pretty much safe, if not, a double edge firewall.. the possibilities are endless.
What support does a browser need if the pages are W3C compliant... Hell, they could get the webdesign students to redesign the pages as part of a 'Web awareness' project or something!
Its only a browser, up until FF release 1 no one paid any attention to NS/Moz, now the whole world is shouting "Alternate browser" together.

I think the whole case is an effort to gain advertising hype. I could be wrong though.

Center your classes around blue leds and speakers and you're set.
