It makes you nervous about the big megacorps -- when their website is compromised -- do they even know... or care? I've never seen M$ shut down for a day because of a website compromise, although it must have happened several times.
This has been DONE before!!

And those are the two I use on a regular basis --- God knows there's gotta be 7,000,000 more. Stick to internet searches and IPOs, please, Google. It's what you do best.
I understand the need to hsve integrity in what is reported. Any person trying to stifle a collection of facts (which is what HardOCP had/has), should be strung up like a traitor.
Now, if there was libel or untruth involved, I'm the first to say they need to be punished... but... don't try to hide your own faults by beating up on a website. Nobody likes a sore loser (or vaporware company).

Killing a piece of computer history is horrible... Instead of killing the machine, donate it to science or something. Just DON'T TRASH HISTORY. Please.
I am proud owner of a Mac Classic, which will -not- be destroyed.
Nice to know that some of my DSL payments are being put to good use...
Can I, as a web admin, sue a spammer for sending mail to my domain? I'm on shared hosting. (cheap plug: my website is www.oldos.org -- go there. but don't spam me)
The best way to build social skills is to get them involved in a group of people who actually -care- for them as a friend. The rest is easy.
(sad story, warning)
When I was a kid, I was the fat, alkward kid who nobody liked. I was never able to get over my alkwardness until I found a friend, Melissa (Mel) who accepted me as I was.
Most of the time, these "socially enept" people are only socially enept because society has turned them away.
If you want these people to be socially acceptable, try accepting them first.
Not that I'm cool or anything now, but I do have friends, people who I care about and care about me. Popularity isn't everything. Friendship is. Thank God for friends.

Realplayer G2 w/RealJukebox.
Great design. I loved it... then it started happening *cue sad music*... The upgrades... they said "RealONE" was the thing... but all it did was take away my ability to listen to crap online for free.
Free Carolina Hurricanes webcast? Gone. $29.95 a month.
Free Carolina Panthers webcast? Gone. Buy NFL Field Pass.
Free racing webcasts? Gone.
Now, I don't mind ads. Heck, I run a website, I live on ads [cheap plug]go to oldos.org and clickyclicky on my google text ads [/cheap plug]. I wouldn't mind listening to ads during the game, watching cheap flash ads before listening, or anything like this. How come TV can survive without needed subscriptions (skin-e-max and h-blow excluded), but internet webcasts can't?
I don't know about you, but Novell is probably the only company I'd trust with this large a slice of the linux pie. They got royally screwed over by Microsoft (market share wise), and I'm sure more than one exec up there has thought about dethroning Gates.
Plus, they bought one of the best implementations of Gnome and a great KDE implementation. I can see Novell bringing the linux desktop together in many ways.
Anyone wanna bet we'll be seeing a Knome 4.0 release rather than a Gnome 4.0 and KDE 4.0?
These kids could be doing something useful. Like writing linux code or something. When I was a kid (read: preteen), I was learning how to code websites and work on computers. Now, it's a career.
Well, at least they are murdering the preppie kids in school. I'd rather be DDoS'd than Uzi'd.
There are some software titles that just -need- to be ported to linux, do to lack of OSS alternatives. The Macromedia MX line of tools is -definately- one of those.
AFAIK, there is no alternative to Flash MX on Linux -- yes, Openoffice.org Impress will save to Flash, but to some designers, that's simply not powerful enough.
And Dreamweaver MX is the -only- wysiwyg editor that I will allow to touch my code. It works cleanly and with compatibility, something no other wysiwyg editor, even oss ones, can claim. (disclaimer: I code in gedit;D).
On a side note -- didn't I read something a few months back about Adobe doing something similar with Photoshop?

I Predicted this very thing a few posts ago and was ridiculed. Ha!

I always knew Novell would be a good guy in the end

Heh, more like there's a reason why you never see Journalists become Politicians.
Hey, I was a multi-headed beast at that little newspaper:
Sports Editor
Education Reporter
Go-fer for the editor

No, they just locked you out for posting on /.
FYI, my Mac Classic is setup, functional, in my room.
Rarely used, but functional.
I know at least three people who would kill to have a Mac Classic...
Now just give me your name and address, and I'll send them after you with axes!

I thought the word for someone who didn't cheat was "n00b"
Patents only exist if it would not be OBVIOUS.
Lets go through this. I'm a digital camera maker. Technology is that space is limited, and at the beginning, so is picture resolution.
The obvious combination of the facts is this: We would COMPRESS the images and store them on a medium.
Technology patents are stupid. People should stop being so damn greedy.

Ah. But this a local vulnerability right?
Forget patching the kernel, I'm just gonna lock my door.
P.S. I'm getting screwed by the no-karma Funny mod again. A +2 post == -2 karma for me. PLEASE FIX THIS.
Could someone please say what this vulnerability is in English? That article made my head hurt.

You insensitive CLOD...
Who needs more than 32k of memory anyway?
Don't get me wrong -- flash as a website mainstay (nav bars, etc) is a HORRID idea.
I just think Flash is a -great- cross-platform way to make games, movies, etc. AND many business will adopt linux if more of those tools are possible.
There are some software titles that just -need- to be ported to linux, do to lack of OSS alternatives. The Macromedia MX line of tools is -definately- one of those.
