Jeez, did you see the whiny little responses by the nimrods who were hooked by the simulated phishing attack? I say that every admin ought to do these attacks on their users daily, and anybody who replies should get their access cut until they write on the blackboard 100 times "I'm a stupid dumbass for responding to a phishing email."
I remember back in the early 1990's the company I worked for was going to exhibit at Comdex. So, they rented a training video starring John Cleese which demonstrated things one shouldn't do in a booth at a show. It was funny as hell. In one scene, they were sitting around the little table in the booth stuffing their faces (think "the Simpsons" here) so the lesson was "don't eat in the booth and keep drinks out of sight"; and in another scene the guys stood shoulder to shoulder in front of the booth, forming sort of a wall so nobody could go in without invading personal space. This stuff went on for half an hour and I still think about these lessons when I work a trade show.
I just looked on Agilent's website and they don't seem to have any 600,000 MHz oscilloscopes for sale. I wonder how they tested this thing? A string of divider flipflops, perhaps?
It doesn't help much, but this is what the site says it's about:
WHAT IS SQUEAK?
Squeak is a "media authoring tool"-- software that you can download to your computer and then use to create your own media or share and play with others. It is free and downloadable here. If you'd like to get a feel for what Squeak looks like without downloading, view a typical early project for kids in HTML (no download needed). Once you download Squeak you can use the Squeak Tutorials and download the handy Etoys Quickstart Guide.Further information can be found in the Squeak FAQ.
According to TFA, this is just a cordless phone, which means you would have to carry around both this handset as well as your regular cellphone unless you know you won't be out of range on a given day. You still have to pay for your landline. More appealing to me would be if somebody made a high performance tabletop cellphone (with external antenna) so I could ditch the landline altogether.
The most common complaint I hear from programmers that used to be in the game biz is that the hours are long and only the bosses made a decent living. My response is that you really shouldn't go into fields like writing, singing, or game dev unless you have a burning passion to express your creativity. If you're mostly worried about your IRA, learn how to write device drivers or accounting software. Not that this is great nowadays, but it's better.
It might be interesting to run these browser-equipped PDA's and phones against the random shards of malformed html generated by Michael Zalewski's program mentioned previously on Slashdot.
I did a quick check of an embedded browser I had laying around, and it died instantly.
Just in the interest of science, this posting is a test of this Google-boosting strategy. Now if everybody on/. replies to my post, my company's page ranking may start to approach that of the professional index-spammers.
Seriously, I wonder why Google can't just filter out links to sites which don't have any relevant key words....

I guess the real April Fools joke is that I'm surfing Slashdot instead of doing real work...
Perhaps it's simply because the US ISP's are better funded and more able to apply expensive security solutions...?
