Yeah, and affects broad spectrum from Windows to Mac.... That's give those Mac Users something to worry about. As the Mac user base grows you will tend to see more and more exploits that affect OS X and will be targeted more. Same goes for *nix. So basically, if it can be hacked, it will, and if there is an exploit, statistically when the more users using a particular OS, chances of your exploit affecting more people goes much higher, thus making the exploit more effective. We must note that there is no OS that cannot be compromised unless thoroughly hardened and no programs that contain exploits running on it. There are constantly upcoming exploits to which were not previously known. Basically securing your system is sometimes a full time job.
'We looked into this quickly and learned that it can only occur if a user knowingly provides their credentials'
That sounds like they mean username and password, but I think they just mean username, since the article states that the URL becose different when it looks like you forgot your password. I think that once you enter in a bad password, some kind of session vars are revealed in which then the exploit can be done. Note they are using 2 browsers as well for 2 seperate sessions to accomplish this.
Yes. I believe the actually aquired them as far as I know back at least in early June. I was at a convention and saw both http://www.google.com/urchin/ and now http://www.urchin.com/ goes to Google's site as well. Of course we all now after the antics with Gmail name, Google is now going to stick with the names for product as follows.
Funny thing is Gentoo is not the easiest Linux to install. Once you get it running yeah emerge is a great tool that clear dependencies, but Gentoo is definately not for the average computer user nor first time linux dweller. Ubuntu is my personal favorite for quick installs that work every time. Fedora is quite easy as well. And if you are not talking about a desktop Slackware is great for servers.
Good math, but does it really matter how much it costs.... hmmm
Lets see, $400,000,000 to total anniolation of Earth. I am sure more than just the US will contribute to these costs.
As far as nukes, single manned JIHADISTS in jets with nukes attached should be a good solution as well, but might not be proven effective. All we need to do is convince the terrorists that the crusaders are invading Earth in asteriods.
I have tried slackware as a Desktop OS before. It's not bad if you don't mind compiling alot of stuff by hand. Although there are some tools that have many of the precompiled stuff and get them installed for you (e.g. slackpkg {Console} or gslapt-get {GUI}) So as far as servers go, I stick to the saying "Once you go Slack, you never go back", but if you are using Linux as a desktop OS, you may want to consider one of the other distros, unless you want to really play around with Linux and get a feel of how Slackware works. I have recently been using Ubuntu for my Desktop and Laptop which I find rather appealing and easy to use.
Internet came before XML we all know that. All technologies there after derived from Gore.
It's transitive
Gore -> Internet Internet -> XML
Therefore
Gore -> XML
This company claiming rights, it's like this, oh we had a patent on this... ALMOST, let's try and get some money. Gore wanted nothing for his contributions.
In all seriousness though, as far as this company goes, it's too little, too late. And now that they are in the limelight. Let them have the 15 seconds of fame that is all it will amount to.
Should be called Imminent Domain (no pun intended), if they take it away, and the US wants it, just like if your house sites on land that they need to build on, they will just take it because they need it. We can't let the ICANN fall into the hands of terrorists, this is a national security issue.
Maybe they should all be super labeled LAMEWARE. Because that is what they really are. These companies are making money off other peoples ignorances and lack of knowledge by installing this wow maybe better labeled CRAPWARE. Not to mention all the time spent by these people fixing these 180 solution... oh yet another better name 180 pollutions.
Hmm... maybe someone in the slashdot community would be kind enough to reverse engineer the 180 pollutions apps, and insert code, redistribute them only to DDos 180 pollutions networks. Make their own apps bite them in the ass. RAHRRRRR
Agreed 100%. I am first hand at this as come May, I will have my BS in CS, with an emphasis in Information Systems from Cal State Fullerton. It's no Berkley, but I believe it is a quite good school. Anyhow, in all my classes taken even though most of our assignments there were small programs or algorithms we had to devise. There wasn't much programming taught once you got out of the first few classes in the first year or so. After that, much of the programming practices I had to pick up from a book or online.
It was the assembly and arctitecture classes that really brought us down to the low level. Not to mention the 2 algorithm classes that showed the big O and big Omega sides of things so like jawtheshark states you aren't scratching you head pondering why your algorithm takes 3 days to do a merge sort on some files. All in all once May comes, I will be lacking something as far as something taught with my degree. We never directly used, with our main language of choice at Fullerton (C++), user interfaces, instead the media class we took made us use a program called "Revolution" which in my opinion is crap. But I suppose once you got the fundamentals down, a book or internet can get you up to par on that.
Of course I was being funny, and yes I know speed does not determine latency. You could have the fastest connection on the planet only to be bottlenecked somewhere along the net. Good point though about the media, 100Mbps is all a selling point mostly. But if it makes my downloads faster, that is really all I care about.
What ever happen to good ol' games like Russian Roulette? When there is a patch, it is only because you were not aiming right and they patch your wounded head.
This has been a problem since the demo and not fixed within 2 patches? I haven't seen the bug in the current patch, but I would not have put it passed them.
Why can't they create something like Steam does for CS, DoD, Half Life? I would much rather it update everytime the game starts if it needs to fix bugs and what not other than having to figure out there is a patch by seeing server on the list that have been updated to having to go to their site.

86 the exploder from the system, skin Firefox with an IE lookalike, and change the Firefox Icon to the IE one she'll never know.

That was the greatest dialog I have read in a while. Must have been loads of fun *#^$ing with that guy.
This should be a dialog for a "Getting Scammed for Dummies" dramatizaion.
Unless of course it comes with nanospinners.. Then we're talkin'
The hacking founder probably uses Firefox. That is why it is a "Nice" link. If it were an IE exploit, you would have got the "Evil" link. ;-)

We don't want any of this

Can't you see why the US needs to control this?
Your definitions are all correct.

There is a common solution for computer security (not realistic)
- Install any OS
- Store in a concrete barracks
- Get Armed security
- DO NOT connect to the internet
SOLVED!!! (sarcasism)

I don't think Sponge Bob was around when you were a kid!
Without being funny, there are too many Trolls not even watching the video here. WATCH THE VIDEO, IT SAVED A YOUNG GIRL'S LIFE.
Is that 100 million Russian or US dollars (cancel my order if its USD)?
Do I get a cool Russian Cosmonaut name?
Who do I make the check to?
So does that mean the Blue screen will be
GREEN ?? Or BROWN?

If it doesn't, time to move to where they have it or impeach anyone who does not allow it.
With those speeds
- my pr0n will stream faster than ever
- game pings will be -12
- TV over IP (sweet)
Not to mention in that country I can get some meet some l33t hackers.

Yes. Bro is very good, and scriptable if you want to learn another configuration language. It's really not that complicated.
As long as you can weed out the false positives, your life will be much easier and beats sitting scanning logs getting a gut.
