"Americans don't give a shit!"
No, we're just saying that the american media doesnt give a shit. All they care about is $$ and ratings.
America shouldnt be associated to the dumb media.
Anyways I hope the survivers are able to get help or even more lives will be lost.
Unfortunately, the majority of the Indian people are not the least bit concerned, resulting in very low coverage for this important development."
Yeah, they seem to be focusing on some stupid tidal wave.
Okay i dont know about you but i think 10 thousand people dieing is more important than this important development
Yeah it looks like a nice alternative. The eye catching part is that it's slim and compact. And that is important just because I hate constantly bending over to the back of my pc to unplug a bunch of cables constantly.
We simply have to face the fact that most people use the internet for porn. This just shows that people have their priorities.
we put hornyness before everything.
Apparently the top public figures are:
1. george w bush
2. janet jackson
3. john kerry
Therefore Janet Jackson unfortunatly had a better chance of winning the election over Kerry.:/
So what the school is saying is, DONT GIVE HEAD OR YOU WILL BE EXPELLED.
Well this sucks, now all the girls will be fearing to give head for the rest of their lives. And the girl who got expelled will probably be afraid do have sex for the rest of her life. Traumatic experience will probably haunt her for the rest of her life. There are even global implications of this tragic event. Now all indian girls across the globe will be afraid of giving head or even having sex with their significant other. Now eventually this will lead a decrease in the indian populations because of the lack of sexual activity. And this will result in the extinction of the entire Indian Race. DAMN IT!
Stories like this are actually inspiring.
I've seen too many people who simply get frustrated
with their code and simply give up.
I guess the moral of this story is to keep working on the project dispite the things pulling you back.
Rice University Computer Scientists Find a Flaw in Google's New Desktop Search Program
By JOHN MARKOFF
Published: December 20, 2004
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19 - A Rice University computer scientist and two of his students have discovered a potentially serious security flaw in the desktop search tool for personal computers that was recently distributed by Google.
The glitch, which could permit an attacker to secretly search the contents of a personal computer via the Internet, is what computer scientists call a composition flaw - a security weakness that emerges when separate components interact. "When you put them together, out jumps a security flaw," said Dan Wallach, an assistant professor of computer science at Rice in Houston, who, with two graduate students, Seth Fogarty and Seth Nielson, discovered the flaw last month. "These are subtle problems, and it takes a lot of experience to ferret out this kind of flaw," Professor Wallach said.
Google introduced a test version of the desktop search tool on Oct. 14, and it can be downloaded at no cost. The program indexes material on a user's local hard disk and then blends Web search results with local user information like electronic mail, text documents and other files. The flaw would permit a search to reveal only small portions of the files.
The way the software tool is designed, a user's queries, but no locally stored information, is distributed via the Internet. But by reading user queries sent to its search service, Google is able to place its AdWords text advertisements next to the search results displayed in a user's browser window.
In a statement over the weekend, the company said that it had been notified of the flaw by the computer researchers in late November and had begun distributing a new version of the desktop search engine that repairs the potential security hole. Google's introduction of a desktop search tool has touched off a competition with its closest Web search service competitors, Microsoft and Yahoo.
Microsoft made a test version of its desktop search tool available last Monday as part of its MSN toolbar suite, and Yahoo has said that it will begin testing a similar search tool in January.
The Rice University researchers said that they had not yet examined Microsoft's desktop search program, but noted that the service did not appear to integrate Web and local search results in the same manner as the Google tool.
The researchers said that the Google security weakness lay in the way that Google Desktop was designed to intercept outgoing network connections from the user's computer.
The program looks for traffic that appears to be going to Google.com and then inserts results from a user's hard disk for a particular search. They found that it was possible to trick the Google desktop search program into inserting those results into other Web pages where an attacker could read them.
An attack would require a user to visit the attacker's Web site first, and any type of Web browser could make a user vulnerable. Google said there was no evidence that any such attacks had occurred.
The Rice group was able to create a Java program that makes network connections back to the computer from where it was downloaded and then make it appear as if it were asking for a search at Google.com. That was enough to fool the Google desktop software into providing the user's search information. The program was able to do anything with the results, including transmitting them back to the attacking site.
"This began as a student project to study how Google Desktop worked and to see if there were any security flaws," said Professor Wallach. "We started by wondering how Google did the local search integration. Once we figured out how it worked, it wasn't too much extra work to break it."
The researchers said that Google had responded quickly to their alert last month and had begun releasing a corrected version of the program on Dec. 10.
The Google desktop program includes an update feature that permits the company to automatically install new versions of the program on
This can not be perceived as anything but a hostile takeover
Seems like EA is learning from Microsoft's horrid business tactics.
Remember back when EA bought most of Rare's shares ate them. However the only difference between microsoft and EA is that they arent making good games. They are buying good game companies and ruining them by exploiting them like dirty hookers.
The Nintendo DS is a mobile gaming console. It's not meant for the gamer to be tied to their house. I dont think many DS owners will spend much of their gaming time at home.
Slashdot Mirror
Intel should admit that they lost the 64 bit battle.

The java applet looks cool, too bad it takes forever to load.

Looking at the timeline, almost half of it was filled with 'fixing' Internet Explorer
Just drop IE and spend more time on the freaking OS.
We knew we had a bigger problem than just enabling the firewall.
Yeah it looks like a nice alternative. The eye catching part is that it's slim and compact. And that is important just because I hate constantly bending over to the back of my pc to unplug a bunch of cables constantly.

They frogot grass and drugs!

Someone could post the .torrent link, but then Slashdot would be arrested :/

No meetings. No legal worries.
No Pay
Sounds like Slavery if you ask me. Now instead of cotton picking, it's code debugging.
yeah it should be called, " the story behind the EA's games"
Now geeks can pick up girls by hacking their cars!
Well we may not pick them up, but we can hack their cars!
It seems like another slow news day.
yes, but wheres the hot girl?
someone convert the pic to ascii art!
Gah! it was attempting to be a joke..
I was implying that the msn search was bad and there fore nonexsistant in comparison to google's websearch.
but noted that the service did not appear to integrate Web and local search results in the same manner as the Google tool.
Msn has a web search?

For some reason kazaa claims that it's service is 100% legal though.h tm

And how about the service named "Ares"? Why arent they being targeted aswell?
