scenario 5: sendmail downloads go from hundeds a day to zero.
As far as i understand it, the requests for the trojaned copies were routed to a different machine which means the sendmail ftp server was not sending bits. Now if the sendmail ftp server suddenly gets no traffic for 5 days straight someone will notice.
However no one will notice a 10% drop in requests.
So the evildoers were probably just trying to keep the sendmail admins from noticing.
You want a different color in your MS intellieye mouse? Do what i did, I went to radio shak and bought a blue LED and replaced the red one, and it works great.
I've got the only Blue Light Intellieye in existance:)
on the IBM patent db, it's listed under "BT invention of air(tm)" describing a breathable gas on planet earth. i wonder what big-wig at BT thought it would be a good idea to try to enforce this. Idiots.
At first your insinuation that microsoft could bribe a court "senseless" seemed ludicrous. The US isn't some 3rd world corrupt banana republic. But as i though more about it, bribery could have two forms: one, cash payoffs, or two, the judge could be so scared to rule against microsoft in fear that he would hurt our wonderful economy that he wouldn't impose sanctions. This is in effect a type of bribery brought on by the MS monopoly, which means that no court would rule against MS for fear of losing that payoff, in their wallets (judges own stock too) and the wallets of the country. Not so ridiculous of a term after all.
I know this is offtopic but it needs to be said. I'm so tired of these companies calling every product a 'solution', like we who don't have it all have problems. This article was so thick with marketing jizz i could barely tell what they were describing. Was it a "mobile platform solution for corporate users with mult-cross-world-any-phone support" with "product solutions again?" Why the hell can't they just say they have a nifty PDA that can use speech recognition, even on the go, through a telephone, etc. and it runs linux.
We here at Louisiana State University have used the Y2K bug to propel us much further beyond other institutions.. In fact our Web page proudly proclaims the date a good 190000 years ahead of the rest of the world. Thank god i'm not in computer science here.
It's a Ford vs. Chevy thing. Some people are devoted to their client and refuse to switch. I personally prefer ICQ over AOL IM, but i have friends in many parts of the country. Most of us here in Louisiana use ICQ, but a large group of my friends in Washington use IM. They refuse to switch, so i'm forced to use 2 clients (from the same company ha!)
Perhaps the Gnome vs KDE arguement could be made, it's a matter of preference, and in this case, you have to do as your friends do.
I do agree that kids should have more strict education, but further I think this is impossible with the garbage of a curriculum we have our kids going through. We *could* keep the school day shorter if we actually spent time teaching the kids worthwile things (real math, real literature, real assignments.) Let them work hard and on pertinent intellectual things for a few hours and let the parents who complain send there kids back for extra time watching 'Sparticus' and reciting prayers. There's a school in my area that is requiring kids to have laptops (expensive prep school) and i constantly see these high schoolers using them for games, or trying to figure out how to work them while their books sit closed next to them. It's distracting! Personally I don't think kids should be allowed to use calculators for any math that they can't demonstrate on paper, but after that, let them do what they know faster. Technology is a time saver, not a short-cut for learning. "I don't need to know how to do square roots, my calculator can do it." How many of you can do a square root on paper? Of course I live in Louisiana and we're not known for having an excellent eduation system, but I've turned out well, and it had nothing to do with technology (we don't have enough chalk, much less computers.) However, I think the only reason kids would be sitting in class *playing* with Palms is that they don't have anything better to do; the teacher certainly isn't worth paying attention to. Give them some real, worthwile work, and they wouldnt have time to 'play on that plam gizmo.' ____those j-mice are EVIL!!!_____
It has been noted that f0bic *must* be a guy... (attrition.) But! who's to say that flipz isn't *ALSO* a guy? I heard gay people do exist... perhaps they can use computers eh? ---right-handed, heterosexual, middle-class, non-ADD, non-dyslexic, white male. I'm a minority.
That's funny. You know A christmas carol was mentioned today on the Asimovs's science fiction magazine website. They were talking about exactly the same thing. Drink more ovaltine. www.asimovs.com/forum/ strange coincidence.
Katz, i hope you come here and read this because i take issue with the idea that writers can't be 'geeks' as well. Who came up with this mutually exclusive duality idea? It's inanely limiting! So many people spew out the idea that you're either 'artsy/literature' or 'science/technical.' These labels are idiotic! You're telling someone they can't be a good writer AND good with computers? Bullshit Katz. I write fiction and short stories, and i've been published. I can also install a linux system w/o a problem ok. Think about it, why can't someone be good in two totally different fields, because i know many people who aren't good at either. ------------------------------------------
So now the Australians are going to 'upgrade' their laws? This is reminiscent of The Onion article on the US constitution v2.0. Really, a good look at the article can tell you a lot about the slant. Computer analogies are beginning to be overused IMHO.
Several people have noted that this is not 'new' news, as the insertion of DNA into nucleas-free egg doesn't affect the mitochondria already present. BUT, it goes further than that. We already know that even in the traditional method of reproduction, (read: SEX) only the mother's Mitochondrial DNA is passed on anyway. The mitochodria in the sperm cell is destroyed by enzymes in the egg. This will make creating a *true* clone *very* difficult. unless of course you clone a female by using one of her own eggs. Note: i'm not a biologist, i just play one on the internet.

The rest of that was just crap.
I'm sure they can find them on ebay. Some redneck has probably dug them up and auctioned them off already. Why not? Everything else is up there.

Wouldn't /. have to become www.slashdot.COM? Since it would be a money making venture? .ORG wouldn't be applicable
