I see what you're saying. From an email user/busness's point of view, he might as well have stolen the money they spent on filter software and a few big HDs for the mail server.
Yes. Because emulation will be fast enough to run video on everyone's machine. Because his webcam will somehow be connected to the host not the guest OS.
And btw who uses mp3s anymore? Ogg Vorbis beats mp3 hands down \o/
Who uses Windows anymore? Everyone. Sure, they should all use Linux (Ogg) instead, but they don't, because they aren't very clever or can't be bothered or haven't heard of it or because their work software (mp3 player) won't support it.
You must use Linux or something similar (I don't know exactly which unixes this works on), since you tested this. Therefore, you grok the command line, unless this works on OS X. If so, go and find out how BASH handles redirection with pipes.
cat/dev/mem
Outputs the contents of the system's RAM, and maybe swap too (this is why you must be root, "#"; you wouldn't want everyone being able to see the passwords your web browser leaves in RAM).
| is just the character to send the output back into the next program.
strings
GNU strings filters out binary stuff that will just be boring and screw up your terminal and only outputs text. Run it on a compiled binary some time, it's interesting (specifically, find the copyright notice in Microsoft's telnet.exe:-).
grep -i llama
Grep is grep. RTFM. It outputs all lines of input containing a search term. The -i means be case insensitive.
Why it works: If you're me, there is an awful lot of llama around because I use it alongside "foo" "bar" "temp" "fish" "badgerbadger" and "cheese" for files, variables, etc.
Otherwise, your browser loaded the word into RAM when you viewed this page, and your shell loaded it again when when you typed the command in.
If anyone who doesn't want/need virus scanning or has a hardware firewall is finding the "security centre" nags annoying, they can be turned off under services...
It you apps don't work any more, see if they run under wine:-)
Also, there is a legal tool going around to change the maximum number of outgoing TCP connection imposed (only 50(!) by default), so you can keep using bittorent.
It seems kind of like cheating. The gene for the blue pigment is presumably from another organism; they could equally make them some other colour, or make them glow in the dark (bioluminescence has been "ported" to organisms such as mice before:-).
This would be more impressive if it was done by selective breeding...
Still, could be the first really mass-produced "novelty" GM organisms (anyone buy one of those fish? Thought not).
Well done. Plenty of people don't know where they come from. Someone even claimed to get no output, which seems very untrue.
On my computer, though, the majority of llamas are in strange sentences or compound words like "llamaboy" and I can't work out were they come from. Which is scary.
And besides, there are plenty of cross-platform attack you could do with this.
Want a copy of a user's eBay cookie? (Ok maybe eBay doesn't save passwords this way but you get the point, lots of sites do. It's like phishing, but the computer believes it's genuine, not just the user).
Is this done basically by taking over insecure DNS servers or is something more subtle involved, e.g. making comuters treat your machine as their DNS server instead?
Slashdot Mirror
Wow. So now they say Windows is POSIX compliant. To go with MSN search trying to be HTML compliant...
I see what you're saying. From an email user/busness's point of view, he might as well have stolen the money they spent on filter software and a few big HDs for the mail server.
The continued existance of monks is an evolutionary paradox, unless of course few take their vows that seriously...
Leave the basement and you'll find that some non-geeks are stupid. Really stupid.
Did he defraud people with suger pills as well or something? 9 years in prison for annoying people seems a bit harsh...
It is VERY annoying though, and he did irritate millions.
I wasn't blaiming them.
Please please please can it have a case-sensitive file system too?
Didn't we once /. one of their servers?
Only on a subdomain, but it still shouldn't be possible.
It isn't very secure, you see...
Yes. Because emulation will be fast enough to run video on everyone's machine.
Because his webcam will somehow be connected to the host not the guest OS.
That really wouldn't work very well.
If it's GPL this is actually legitimate. They're saying it's a code fork I guess...
Wow.
Months of FUD and a version of PearPC with a few superficial modifications! What a contribution to open source!
Somehow I doubt this will be a very successful fork, as the PearPC developers are probably not opposed to incorporating any real change.
What is the restriction on MP3 exactly? I know there are a few GPL libraries for decoding, so is the restriction a patent on the actaul format?
So what does XMMS play then? Your OGG Vorbis collection?
For most people, XMMS is a single-purpose application!
And from Novell's page: WTF? Using WMA? Or using files the computer can't play without an iPod?
I've spoken so I can't mod, but thanks for the very clear explanation.
Sounds a bit like idle scanning; presumably the false reply packets appear to come from the authoritative server's IP address?
It's not an actual patch, it just changes the max number to something higher (10,000 is cool).
IMHO it's pretty safe.

Oh, wait...
Idiot.
