It won't. When you do it for too low of a cost it will fail like Beagle 2 or Mars Polar Lander. Faster, better, cheaper doesn't work. Once they start killing people and still try to be cheap their space program will come to a halt fast.
Do You know Anything at all about Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)?
Do you know how many satellites they have launched since inception?
ISRO is not some low quality manufacturing company and infact carry many satellites for other countries who cannot launch it on their own. Hav a look at their milestones :
http://www.isro.org/mileston.htm
their space program will come to a halt fast.
As for that,their space program is a roaring success already....
India belongs to a elite club of six
[US, Russia, China, Japan and the European Space Agency are the others] - who control a lucrative satellite launch market.
i understand firefox has fixed this vulnerabilty.The
current version of firefox is 1.0PR.The mozilla site says the next ver will be out in late september.
Is this what is called reeling back on Time machine?
I thought i was living in year 2004...
what about the things called ROBOTS - that are continuosly researched upon?
Not to 4get the unmanned robot race competitions held in USA every year [ if i remember correctly,tha ttoo in desert!]
Computer security analysts have also warned that more viruses in the future will be written to attack systems that run on the Linux operating system and hand-held devices like cell phones.
Every article seems to have his tagline attached.Looks like people cant seem to wait for Linux Viruses!
Perhaps they wanna entice people into writing L.virus
Almost everyday I have been downloading the patches
from Microsoft and others. - so much so that iam using DAP download mngr and queing them up !
yesterday it was scroll bar vulnerabilty,today is Jpeg Vulnerability....
Whats it going to be tommorow?
Computer Switch ON Vulnerabilty?
Iam not going to be surprised if such a one comes up.
Add to this my dial up connxn!
Right now I use Win 98,Firefox .
BTW,what are the updates for Firefox vulnerabilities and where do I find it?
I think the next generation Download Managers
should have these features:
* Select s/w for patch update search - Eg: windows,office,IE,FF,Winamp.
* Automatically queue them up and download.
I think thats the only way I can manage to download all patches for all s/w I use.
The Fun of Internet is only so long as your computer does not get infected.
hi!
I ru n win98 and got myself a copy of bittorrent.Never really understood how to use it.
Although i fumbled with it.
Is there a simplified step by step process to learn how to use it?
BTW,for those of you cribbling about 'slow' uploads of 50kbps,my stats are:
dload -40kbps
Upload-15kbps
but connecetd speed is 10 MBPS
What the heck!
Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation Tuesday aimed at discouraging online piracy by requiring anyone disseminating movies or music on the Internet to disclose their e-mail address.
Dear Arnold,
We slashdotters ask that you do some real geeky/interesting thing instead of asking for email addresses.Its so lame.That way slashdotters could have some solid topic to comment about.
Peace.
Sven Jaschan is not just another teen virus writer.
You should taken into account his popularity factor.
A GOOGLE search on "Sven Jaschan" gives 17,200 Results!
Seriously , How many slashdotters names would give that many results on Google.?
[Bill Gates,Steve Jobs et al dont read slashdot...or do they? lol.]
From the link you gave for the hacker FAQ
[http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html], Iam posting a scoop about Microsoft.
I know its a little offtopic,but interesting.
~~~~~~
Do I need to hate and bash Microsoft?
A:
No, you don't. Not that Microsoft isn't loathsome, but there was a hacker culture long before Microsoft and there will still be one long after Microsoft is history. Any energy you spend hating Microsoft would be better spent on loving your craft. Write good code -- that will bash Microsoft quite sufficiently without polluting your karma.
The comments page for this story has become a real security night mare on slashdot!
Why do you have to provide direct links to the windows update.exe file? [ that too so many are providing it, as if it is a sig ].
And another guy is sayin - " what if the evil guys are reading SD and add opera and mozilla exploits " - [ not exact quote ].And then goes on to provide links to exploits in mozilla and opera [a google search link too].
By giving links to flaws in opera and mozilla , you want to help the evil guys who are reading slashdot?
Now dont argue - " You have to be stupid to click on those links, Iam annoyed how people click those links etc.
This may be slashdot , but still littering the commenst page with unsafe links does no good!
Links are to be provided where required.Not wherever possible.
Just beacause a slashdotter has a non IE browser he should click the link for the Slashdot effect?
yuck!
How many would have the courage to do it, knowing full well that it has malicious code?
Hi dude~!
Iam getting paranoid of clicking any link in Slashdot!
Clicking on the gmail invites took me to a bloody pornpage,inspite of having the caption [Google] provided faithfully by slashdot.
Luckily ( or so i think } i was using firefox - but still the porn page, with shaking windows and a horrible voice (SWF) hit me.
Could clicking on the link damaged my comp?any thing could hav been installed?
Please.how to know which links to trust? - since even the properties / caption box [ google ] are ineffective.
Forget "spam out links".
First fix malicious links in Slashdot!
You might have seen the dubious "Gmail invites" links posted at the beginning of the comments.
Inspite of having gmail account, stupid me,i clicked
on the link to do an "analysis " of the gmail invite address!!
Too bad,slashdot too gave the site address as [google]after the link....It only opened a porn page,with shaking windows.Thank god i was using firefox.
I dont know what would have happened had i seen it with Internet explorer.
Even better i had images OFF when i visited.So kinda saved.But I would like to know if clicking on that link,would cause any further harm to my computer.
And since the caption of the site name that slashdot provides been proved useless, how can i find the name of the real site that link will take me to?
iam not joking.i want it for real.as for AVG,FPROt - ha, r they a match fo the BIg names in AV business?
is there any place on the internet where i can download mcafee for free [ the goddamn mcafee sait wont allow it - says u hav to subscribe to download! in the free trial download page! ]
Hi!
Can you tel me where i can get free Mcafee VIRUSSCAN ?i hav win98.
Although Mcafee website does have a free trial page,when u finally finish the sign up process you cannout actually download Virusscan.it says you gotta subscribe first!
No,i dont want to do that Free online virus scan.
Or is Mcafee available as cracked piece at some crack site?
Thanks.
1.first of all, a single site cant be a sample of the internet,more so if its a a not so famous site
2.a early adopter site like that would hav a majority geek/tech crowd, who will be on the latest,newest,best.That wont be the same with the general public.
3.A good sample would be few thousand major sites like Google, yahoo,amazon,ebay etc.
Just to make the point , what do u think the browser stats of slashdot will look like?
internet explorer 90%?Ofcourse not.Firefox,opera et al cud contribute 90+.
IE is highly infamous here - wont be surprised if the stats are less than 10% for IE.
Of course only cow boy neal can give real proof.

Cribbling about India takes you Nowhere.
Anyone knows exact date of release.?
is it possible for fake votes?
If yes,then no harm in monitoring.
If it feels its a insult if europeans monitor,then america is insulting them.
thats right.Iam connected thru my LAM card - which i think has a top speed of 10mbps.
That was a real funny microsoft pic(sig).
too bad slashdot doesnt allow users to post pics in comments!

Whats great in your journal that you want ppl to visit it by disguising it as gmail invites?
If a hacker gets caught , doesnt have to mean he isnt bright.Eg:Mitnick.He is the role model for many.
somesites suggest. ,like providing security etc.
hacker=harmful.
cracker=has the skills like hacker but uses them for good purpose
Its not my opinion ,but what I have seen in websites.
You think you are intelligent and all others stupid?
perhaps you will be taught
