I was in a flame war on a portmaster/radius mailing list about how putting a banner (to protest) on your website was lame, and some webmaster from Sierra got into a flame war with me... Go figure...
I have attended Tribescon 1999 and Tribescon 2000, even have a signed Tribes 1 box with all the developers on it. (Very cool!) Very sad to hear about Sierra's sleazy business practices. But then Tribes2 was just about patched enough to play. Wonder if they ever get the VCR Demo record function working correctly. Guess we just have to wait and see.
Also, I wonder who shows up from Dynamix at Tribecon3. Humm, Ill buy first round of beers for the Dynamix crew. (-;

I watching a show with the wife on the women's network.

The judge (and the end of the tv movie) finally threw the case out, as no merit. But 1 person in power almost ruined the mothers life, took away her kids, and made her goto court to prove she was innocent. It was also based on a True Story(tm)...

It infected Alpha code for Indexing service, so it wasnt only x86. Wonder how many other worms are can do this type of damage.
I moved and had to drop from adsl to idsl, 3x the cost, and 600 bux for the equipment. So, there are people paying BIG bucks for dsl type services. Even ISP's are raising their rates, the cant make money at 20 bux for a 768K connection. If the prices for T1's came down, I would switch over to that. My Frame Relay 56K connection costs 400 bux a month, and was never down. If Covad goes, my choice is back to ISDN and maybe satellite for download speed.
People want bandwidth, they need bandwidth. The problems is the larger Phone companies want to strangle off the mom and pop isp's, then own the entire market. I ordered my DSL from Covad, Verizon came out and asked why I didnt order from them, and stated if I didn't switch, my order wouldn't go through. Totally illegal, but what could I do? I switched to verizon.
Also, Speakeasy is my current idsl isp, they have the best customer support I have seen in a larger ISP. But I hear thier customer service had to restructure, they were pretty bad.
They let me send email out through their SMTP servers, Verizon wouldn't. I even host my domain with a smaller hosting service, just because when I called and asked about getting SSH installed on the servers and telnet turned off, they forwarded me to the sys-admin, and she said somehow our server was skipped, and she installed it later that day.
This whole thing has me pissed off, its not bad enough the Telcos wont provide the service, they can run the people who do out of business. All with our Federal Governments blessings.
I'm already using consumer devices that use mp3. The cost of switching them out to OGG or any other format is too expensive. A Kenwood Z828 isnt pocket change. And I dont have the time to convert my 100's of mp3 cds to OGG...

I took proxomitron to work, and realized, that its a great proxy switcher. I was able to put the network proxy, production proxy and a 3rd proxy to a dmz. All I had to do was set my browser to localhost, and then click on proxomitron in the tool tray, and select the proxy i wanted. Another feature I just started to use, this program still amazes me.
Junkbusters and the like are pretty good, but this program called Proxomitron is a step above. It does all the normal rewrite features plus a few added features. http://spywaresucks.org/prox/
Rewrites html for both incoming and outgoing, rewrites headers, cookie control, ad control, full logging, and much more..
I currently use this with mozilla, and all ads say [AD] and no popups. Faster browsing, and a easy "Bypass" button for websites that bitch.
One of the hacks I used it for was to rewrite java settings, so online games applets would read my settings. Also, you can make Mozilla report back to servers thats its IE5.5 in the headers. Or its default "Space Bison/0.02 [fu] (Win67; X; SK)"

Are you an idiot? Do you know nothing about computers? Diligent recovery from this compromise would involve 1) backing up all data on the compromised hard drives, 2) formatting them, 3) reinstalling them from scratch, 4) sanitizing all the backed-up data, 5) and reinstalling all the backed-up data.
