Current regime and Government in Iran should be like a dream for a War monger. If Iran was a sane regime with some kind of democracy, how would you explain if you declare a war on them? Current idiots are great for giving reasons.
I don't think blocking Freenet is possible. It is designed for that purpose in mind. In fact I suspect oppressing governments are possibly abusing it to look some kind of pervert thing to regular people.
Nothing is impossible with support from gigantic forces if you take advantage of the fight for power between them.
Just last Monday, one of the Turkey's most peaceful and democratic columnists who writes in the oldest newspaper, Cumhuriyet got arrested for attempting a coup. He was kept in custody for 6 days straight without having a single clue about what he may have done and refused to talk. Today, he gets released. There are massive clues about widespread wiretapping and servicing to the pro-govt newspapers. Can you think such thing is possible without someone clearly abusing a big power?
For example, Europe and particularly France should have nothing to say about Iran regime of today. Khomeini was happily living and getting supported in France (yes, that secular France) and even went to Iran with a Air France jet.
Things will keep that way since Iran is a big chess player, they are playing with the World like a toy with billions of dollars. Iran regime can't exist without foreign support.
Apple should ask itself "We are shipping a new concept and device in 2000s, it is our first phone, why do we need to do things which are even forbidden by law in some countries?"
Of course, if there is anyone at Apple iPhone business division with a sane mind.
One can make a GNU/GPL V2 software, keep it open and still ask for money. The idea with Tivo is, Tivo can and will make millions of dollars but the source will be open, changes published in reasonable time and the community will benefit from source.
It took 60 seconds for a friends non firewalled Win2k to get infected by Blaster and started distributing it. Yes, 60 secs and he was on 56K modem. It was because of me, I forgot the scene on Windows and I connected his machine to dialup without setting up (at least) built in win2k firewall (tip: just enable port 80 and 443 until you get a real one).
If a person uses Internet purely for text based information and communication and resists to broadband, there is also a chance that the person is more clever than the Youtube junkies. Believe or not, there are lots and lots of people who doesn't want broadband. Yes, they can afford it, they have it in area but their usage pattern allows them to keep on using analogue or ISDN modem.
I got MS Virtual PC installed on PowerPC G5 Quad running (unfortunately, forced) XP SP3.
As you probably know even such a emulator/virtual machine can get infected by a worm/virus and can also actually run it. So, I thought about 4-5 years back and installed AVG Free edition after trying various stuff. It was the previous, simple version which did a damn well job for obvious junk and it was almost transparent to that P3 500 equivalent virtual machine.
It shows me warning that I should update to version 8, after watching that it takes 35 mins just to install, I travelled further back in time in my memories. You know the difference between AVG 7 and AVG 8? Same as the difference between legendary Netscape 3 Gold and Netscape 4 communicator.
RIP to another excellent software/formula wasted by incompetent developers and a company trying to become which they can never be, Symantec. Symantec can save themselves and survive thanks to millions of dollars in advertising, straightly bought out technical correspondents, reviewers but AVG will be a thing of past. I am actually surprised nobody started a "Save AVG 7 petition" yet.
The code they wasted actually saddens me even while I mainly use OS X. Avast guys should be careful, they are in same path too.
Based on spam stats from very serious companies, organisations, USA is unfortunately is the biggest spammer IP block on planet. Lets not discuss this or its possible reasons.
Did you hear AOL/ICQ banning a notorious spammer IP block ISP. E.g. lets say, did they ban Comcast? No? Why did they ban poor cable users of Turkey? Because it is Turkey right? That is my point, thank you.
Nobody on this planet can make me believe that MSN has better resources reserved for security. Impossible, it is NOT PART of their culture! At least I say, MS doesn't do some racial IP profiling, they seem at least trying to stop spam instead of discriminating people based on where they are.
No, cable ISP. They didn't ban Turk Telecom. Turk Telecom seems to care for spam reports lately (their mail spam rate going lower along with Poland) but they banned the Cable ISP. Imagine there is only Comcast in USA for Cable ISP and rest are 56K running people. You are banning entire Comcast from your network, they did something similar to it. I still suspect some racial profiling etc. since it is really possible to hunt the individual spammers and if you are at a point of banning an entire ISP block, it is really time to call the Police of that country. OK- lets say not racial profiling but something like "Oh Turkey? Who cares, lets ban them". That decision cost them 25 million users. Lets not forget that joke, MSN IM Protocol is a horribly engineered piece of junk and MS isn't known as some security champion company. They don't have that spam problem with 25 million potential zombies. So it can be prevented even by Microsoft.
Once upon a time ICQ was de-facto standard in Turkey. You know what they did? (AOL shareholders, listen) They banned the TURKISH CABLE IP BLOCK, the _country_ from reaching their servers. They actually banned Cable ISP monopoly but it was like banning all active, high profile users. People looked to alternatives, tried proxies (yes,pathetic but needed) and they stared at something which is already installed to their system. Windows (MSN) Messenger. The outcome will amaze you. Microsoft execs are at absolute shock because Turkish MSN _active_ users exceeds 25 million. That is 1/4 of country using a single service. Hope the idiots banning a country because of couple lamers read this message. Yes, MSN has 25 million users... Thanks to you!
Yahoo ignored the chance to move to the XMPP protocol and they decided to merge with MSN giving hell to BOTH networks users especially if one dares to use MSN with @yahoo.com e-mail. There is also a mysterious increase of spam/malware since that merge.
Every single "clone" will suck unless the networks use a completely documented protocol which is XMPP. I really admire Google guys to use that protocol, they could go with some "Google IM protocol" crap and nobody could say a word about it. Now there is a very known brand like Google, it is time to abuse it to push ordinary friends, clueless people to XMPP/Jabber protocol;)
If you have Macbook Air and I don't recommend trying it, you would be amused to figure it still cares about sudden motion sensor blocking the access to SSD drive when it falls.
I have read about it on a Developer's blog who has been really surprised. It could be Apple's philosophy to ship the exact same OS X on every machine, there is a plist tweak to disable the sudden motion sensor.
Used/tried a Quad G5 with 16 gig memory installed (mine has 4,5 GB).
Even on Leopard, that mainframe like monster will still create a 64MB swap file amusing us. I also saw 6 swapfiles has been created on my 4,5 GB RAM installed Tiger (OS X 10.4, doesn't have auto cleaning) after days of heavy load uptime.
Is it a strategic thing that OS kernel does? I remember reading some real weird stuff about Microsoft's tactic to swap the applications to disk even while they didn't have to but I can't find the file now. You seem to blame application developers which I can understand, does it have something to do with "pageins" and "faults" I see generally caused by badly written software?
Call me some guy mystified by brands but after using Seagate cheap stuff (SATA) and SCSI for years and never seen these things actually fail (besides stupid filesystems), I wait for Seagate, Fujitsu, Hitachi like known brands to ship their SSD rather than being abused by some memory vendor who has no clue about the hard disks to buy some overpriced flash memory fantasy. I also don't know the actual reliability of SSD too. What about journaling? Can it handle? A journal is still needed on SSD drive, what if kernel fails or OS filesystem layer goes nuts? A journal will be in same area of disk and will be written over and over millions of times. I could never buy the "speed" claims of SSD not just because I use very fast SCSI stuff but I actually see the horrible performance of them in my smart phone, HD Camera. It is like performance suicide if someone dares to put a very complex applications to "memory card" instead of phones built in memory. They are trying to ship it before it is a technology fit to general use. Much like some video sites existed while everyone had to struggle with 56K modem.
Well, if they are evil, they can also verify that they are sending to right address when someone fills that form and they can use that $1 to cover the cost of advanced database software they are running:)
My first reaction to physical spam is, noting the spammer company so I never buy their products again and tearing off, putting the spam to a visible place so the idiot distributing them may get a clue about who he deals with.
Thanks to ZLob variants, Mac is not really trojan free. Also a Firefox or even Lynx running in a super secure linux box has also the ability to stupidly submit the forms with your real e-mail/home address, there is no linux kernel module as "stop_giving_email.c" as far as I know.
1) While we joke about it, Nigerian scheme has a real life consequence and there are several people who has been kidnapped, threatened with a real gun, found themselves in a plot which a countries government involved. There is nothing technical about it, there are no MCafee products to stop a guy showing up your door with a real gun as they got your home address.
2) Worms/Viruses are all mafia type things run by real criminals who also has support from their governments and police. There is also terror network worm possibility. Your unprotected PC can be hosting the Al Queda sites for that month or some big pedophile network.
Will MCafee give these people some legal protection? Did they instruct these people well? Did they tell about the funny looking Nigerian mails background and what kind of people runs those schemes?
It is obvious that nobody trusts them to give their e-mail address, you can't blame people for not giving their mail some organised spammers who _insists_ on spamming them even in age of very powerful anti spam filters.
$1 to organised spam providers via check? Let them offer credit card too. Did you really apply for that service?
My solution is better, free: http://www.spamcop.net/ . It is not some good guy they can easily threaten with lawsuits anymore, it is CISCO. Let them just try.
Well, that is what Trial stands for. Your screen (E70) is bigger but it is total madness to attempt to show "real web" on a regular E65 phone. Nokia should have thought a second about DPI of Apple iPhone, the price of such a screen and compare to their offerings which aren't all iPhone level high end luxury things. I don't use monitoring tools on my E65 but if I run Fring messenger and attempt to use Nokia Browser, Nokia browser will go out of memory while Opera 8.65 can work for hours. Some people who are experienced on Symbian and being Nokia fans say the Webkit's issue is: It was never designed with mobile in mind.
No, you get confused by the Windows App/file signing. In OS X way of things, a "signature" means a developer signing the application to make sure it is not tampered. Nothing else. There are no commercial signing companies to sign ones application even. It is way of saying "here is the original compile and package of my application signed by me, the developer, look after it". Nothing else. MS and Verisign idea is completely different. Even Sun Java signing is different.
An attacker can modify your applications but you will get the warning from the OS when they want to access network as server or even try to read their own keychain entry.
Current lamer (not even cracker) scene on OS X was therotically speaking about modification of binaries to inject their code, exploiting input manager functionality to attach to running code and do some tricks with their keychains (of course). Apple as OS vendor proactively did some stuff to prevent such lame but dangerous stuff.
You must never forget what Apple ships for who. They don't market a highly technical user oriented OS, they try to keep it simple, secure and still satisfyingly configurable for high end technical users. There is no way someone can tamper a executable on my OS but on average Mac users machine (which they target), they will try doing it.
It is pro-active measure without doing iPhone like stuff and they don't use the opportunity to do dirty tricks like MS did. They didn't tell developers "Here, secure applications for you but remember to pay $2000 to Verisign". They say "sign your apps freely so they aren't tampered by lamers".
If user does get software from untrustable sources, does click "I agree" to ridicolous EULAs (check MS Silverlight, DivX), there is nothing Apple or any OS Vendor can do. The solution to it? iPhone comedy.
The code injection prevention, watch of OS folders, watching for suspicious activity is a job of true heuristic antivirus. From a pure technical point of view (forget their stupid PR and suits) Intego VirusBarrier has some hope but there is nothing to match Kaspersky or F-Secure on OS X scene yet.
On fairly modern Nokia E65 with Apple Webkit based free "Nokia browser", I did total 1 hour browsing. That is heading to Opera.com for whatever they offer for my OS (it took that much to reach the right download page) and later bought it with Opera Mobile client itself. Thank God Opera Mobile exists as a choice. That is their 2 years old 8.65 code I bought. It is AGES ahead of anything on that smart phone. If they charge for their marvellous work, a browser which uses less memory than 8 MB on my S60 device that will , hell it is $20! That 2 years old code picks the right css from my web pages (all w3c compliant) and shows them like I have setup a special WAP site for phones. Now waiting for their 9.5 achilles heel. What bothers me is, they get 5-7 million downloads without advertisement (9.5 Desktop), they help hundreds of millions of possible devices doesn't even have a good WAP browser to access the web, they strictly support standards, they never sold out to MS (imagine Opera quality IE only exists on Win Mobile), they even support Windows 98 and they get THAT comment as return.
' They're trying to charge money ofr something everyone else gives away for free, and with the latest browsers they're running out of legitimate advantages to boast."
"Mandatory code signing for any kernel extensions. I dont want to have to worry about kernel rootkits, hyperjacking, or malware infecting existing kernel drivers on disk. Most kernel extensions are from Apple anyway and for the few common 3rd party ones, they should be required to get a code signing certificate."
It is possible to run old kernel extensions on OS X and many benefits from it. Kernel extensions have "minimum" and "maximum" version values. You can't expect every company to release Leopard signed version of their kernel extensions. Some are even out of business.
Some ATI owners saved themselves with OS X 10.3.x kernel extension in Leopard (10.5.0) until Apple fixed the issues. Now imagine ATI 10.3.x extension required signing. Would be a great way to get "Apple delivers the drivers" template as reply.
