This is your right to hate it. I don't argue that pages can be completely corrupted by unskilled people by adding styles and animated gif's gone wild, I am not sure blogging and design was the intent of the site. It even states in their agreement you are not to modify the design of the site. BUt some odd million people do. But aimed at 15+ community or not, there are MANY and when I say that I mean MANY people of older age that actually are telling the truth as far as age. I am not saying the 20 yr olds that say they are 99, I am talking about people 40+. Do a search for yourself and you will see. I don't LIKE MySpace entirely, nor do I HATE it entirely. One must come to the realization, that it does exist, and it IS popular. So it must be something that people find entertaining at best, rather than avenues to depict anything remotely interesting besides breasts and funny videos. It's kinda like the real word, some people love it, some people hate it, and some people could give a flying F^$# less. The question I ensue is "How long will it be able to stay so popular?"
As far as wanting another site for debates, conversations, topics? Ummm slashdot does a pretty good job at that. I too miss halfempty. James' flash animations were top notch for the time. Sorry I don't have any other links for you as far as that goes.
This is a very interesting concept, because I don't think it would work the same way if Google banned Ebay results from coming up in the results. I think Ebay would be rather T.O'd for that IMHO.
They have alot planned. Now I wonder if they are going to change their website look. 3 years of the same plain, cluttered with tables, website. Yuck!. No wonder all the users sites look like Frontpage sites from the late 90's. Trying to style with

is always fun isn't it! And yes, who the F@#& is this DeWolfe guy, we want to hear about Tom!
Sounds to me like this reference "during the pilot program" means until they release the final version. Then you will have no option to uninstall this crap. Flame on!
That it's time to go cold turnkey. Silence the last Windows box (XP Pro which is a legit license, but I got for free) I own and strictly use Linux. 2 out of the 3 PC's I own are already using Linux. I was holding on to my XP box for my gaming desires. You'd think Mircosoft would realize when a large percentage of the PC's out there stop working, people would say, "You know what, fuck that!" and switch to Apple or *nix based products. Yeah OS X costs money, but at least Apple won't be plagued with the "XP phone home syndrome" which sounds like it's migrating to "XP suicide". I think I may have to make my XP box a Martyr and pull the plug before M$ even has the benefit of installing this WGA garbage on my machine. I mean, they might as well log keystrokes as well why they are at it!
If it was only Javascript that would be one thing. But when some one can "include" say a remote PHP file, I believe this is still considered XSS, maybe just another class of XSS. This is when it becomes an issue. It can allow a user to run arbitrary commands as the web server user, or what ever user that PHP is running as. Next thing you know, if your system is not harded properly, you have remote IRC pipes or shells sending data to/from your server to some remote host. It's a much bigger problem than expressed in the article. Buzzword maybe, but buzzword or not, still has potentially vulnerable security implications.
That's the benefit of knowing people in the FBI.;-) Or for that matter, living in a free country. I just work for myself then. If some job doesn't hire me because of some "routine" behaviour you are talking about. Then they get a single finger salute. There are plenty of other companies. I think you are trying to assume they are profiling every single American. When you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME!
Buy my data. I don't have anything to hide (sorry paranoid/.ers I just don't care, as long as they are not telling me what to do). But I want Royalties for usage anytime my results are yielded in a search!
That's great and all, but you definately have not updated them then and behind a good firewall.:-) My XP box is normally running for 1-2 months on end. Then that blasted Windows updated rains on my parade.
Now on my Slackware server it's a different story Uptime check in 3...2...1
Cyber terrorism is very real indeed. Most large nations rely on electronic communications. So would perhaps say an E-bomb could be even more devastating to cripple a nation more so than say some sort of DoS of a particular IT infrastructure? I think so. I heard something the other day that an E-bomb only 30 miles over the earth above the US could take out about 1/3 of the continental US electronics. Secondly, if they could get one 300 miles above the surface, they could potentially wipe out the entire continental US. This is very scary!
It's a PoC (proof of concept), they could have just as well made an alert box popup with the wording "pwned". But even still, what they made this PoC do, it is simply arbitrary code, and anything else could be put in place to actually conduct a malicious attack. "Virus" should not be in this title, exploit would be more appropo. Not to mention, unless you run StarOffice as root, only whatever user you are using this app will have this permissions to do it's dirty deeds.
The cell phone will do EVERYTHING for you. And I can sit on a remote beach somewhere sipping a margarita knowing anything I need done will be handled by my phone.
Embed that shit to keep your job or if you will only be the one maintaining and the applicaiton doesn't grow too much. It's much harder to maintain especially as the application/site grows. Seperate it if you want to be able to scale it to enterprise level apps. My preference is to seperate them strictly becuase seperating content from code is much cleaner.

What happens if and when the bacteria mutates? What happens to the data then?
This is an intereting technology non the less.
That the government is not just data mining sites like MySpace and actually monitoring real threats.

Take Debian, hack it, yield Ubuntu.
"For Web-Design Expert, Ease of Use And Clarity Are Essential for Firms"
I'm definately not an English major, but I believe it should either read
For Web-Design Experts, Ease of Use And Clarity Are Essential for Firms
OR

Almost sounds like a post from engrish.com

Agreed, looks rather Web 0.9. But hey looks the same as before in Lynx!
