Hi, it's gaining ground. It's installed on the classroom computers at my University right next to Internet Explorer and I see the people sitting in front of me using it every day.
The Firefox website visits are through the roof. Do you think they're all just readers or are some of them downloaders?
Damn straight. I was one of the doubters several years ago believing no open source project would ever have the resources needed to produce a product that could reach market acceptance. Not anymore. It's a full-on full-featured product. The university I attend has installed it next to IE on their classroom stations. To sum it up in several words, it kicks ass. The RSS integration is the biggest draw for me right now, Safari doesn't have it. (Mac user).
I'm so sick of people here being proud of their ignorance. If you don't know what he's done, isn't it up to you to find out before passing judgement?
I can pass judgement anytime I want because I know exactly what Mitnik "has done". He's a thief, tresspasser, liar, conman, and felon. I never said I was ingorant or proud of it. I asked why Mitnik is famous, and it sure as hell isn't because of his hacking techniques. It's because he stole and got caught. Save your pre-prepared pulpit speaches for when they apply.
Okay, fine. He invented interesting hacking concepts. He IP spoofed and demonstrated that sequence number attacks were possible with the TC/I protocols. I'm boned. I know when to wave the white flag. But is that why this article is on Slashdot? Back to the original premise of my post, what has he done with his life? Is his hacking past it? Is that all there is? I guess so. He's famous, I'm not.
You must be kidding. The only thing you've said is that he "tricked" people. And what did he actually do with it? Write his own software? Did he start his own company with the information he stole? No, he did nothing but post and run. He's an icon of shit hackers who do nothing but break networks and passwords. Here's a twenty dollar bill, no wait it's a two dollar bill. There, I've socially engineered you. Feel like you've been hacked?
I'm so sick of this guy's so-called "hacker" fame. He tricked a bunch of early tech no-nothings into telling him their passwords and protocols and now he's living off it forever. Jobs and Woz hacked the phone system, but then they went on to produce something. What has this guy actually ever produced, written, made? Seriously, I don't know and maybe that's a problem. He must have produced something valuable, but I don't know what it is. I'm sure some Slashdot guy will tell me, but isn't it funny that no novice (like me) knows what the hell he's ever done creatively/intellectually in his life?
And for God's sake, don't slap a regulatory body on it. Amtrack anyone? Slashdot, give us an edit button on posts. The preview button isn't good enough.
Are you nuts? This an untapped giant industry in the making. Only by eliminating the "free" providers of wireless access can this entirely new industry get started. Think of the enormous number of jobs involved here. A WHOLE NEW INDUSTRY. Were' talking an annual industry revenue in the billions of dollars. It all starts here. Eliminate the free providers. Take the 'open' tag off this stuff. ----Ofcourse, I'm speaking economically. If I had my way, it would be free all the time.
The moderator who scored this post "redundent" may wish to wait for more than 20 posts to come in on a story before moderating next time. I was typing while the redundencies were being posted. Nice moderating.
Why you ask, will it not be hard to get rid of the free providers? Because the ISP's that route their traffic will shut them down by data transfer rate. Do you really think Mediacom and Quest won't climb on board with this?
The govt wants the revenues from licensing. Commercial organizations will gladly pay it, but not if there a million coffee shops giving it way. They're trying to regulate the free providers out of existence. It won't be that hard to do.

Learn to draw a conclusion.
why let that get in the way of an open-source victory party?
But seriously, Firefox is fantastic and more accolades are coming soon.
My ex-wife was a fiery fox and she took everything. Free browsers are all I have left.

Now everyone knows how it felt when the U.S. government instituted the income tax for the first time...
Check your history books kids, lifes a bitch.
They never stop taxing.
A Monopoly is not defined by it's primary source of income, only it's primary hold on the market.

Oh, gosh, is that where I send fake header info to a receiving address and hope it will recognize my fake shit and let me into the network?
I wish I could moderate because I couldn't moderate this up enough.

so terribly valid
Does anyone know how to turn this off? Because it's supposed to open my chute in about 3 seconds.
And for God's sake, don't slap a regulatory body on it. Amtrack anyone? Slashdot, give us an edit button on posts. The preview button isn't good enough.
