To be honest, I just checked, and while there are 1,030,000 Google results for "Cringely," there are no ads at all on the results page, indicating -- as many have long suspected -- that I have no commercial value whatsoever.
This is not what Americans need... I am looking at those and i'm getting hungry.... My productivity would be cut in half / walking to the vending machine every so often.
I have to wonder how a U.S. brokerage would have handled such a mistake?
My apologies, I did not mean to bash you in such regard.* Some of the other replies to your entry have angered me: US execs/CEOS, by comparison, act like spoiled little children...they deny responsibility, take as much as they can get away with, constantly inflate their worth
But I was also trying to say that it was not something that they could have "hidden". Everyone knew it had happened and everyone was wondering who did it.

Did you read the article? First of all it was not a bank. Second, they sold 41 times the available shares! Everyone was horrified and started selling their stock from ALL of the trading companies. (akin to selling your stock from etrade, ameritrade, when in fact Scottrade was to blame)
to wit: http://business.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,9063- 1917963,00.html
The sell trade - when he had intended to sell just one share, for 610,000 yen - represented an offer to sell a staggering 41 times the amount of shares in the company that were actually available to the entire market.
In the ensuing confusion, shares in J-Com initially tumbled as the market tried to identify the source of the trading error. Concern about possible mistakes at trading houses with lax risk controls sent banking stocks diving and then hit the wider Tokyo market.
It was initially unclear which firm had sparked the frenzied selling, with Mizuho Securities only admitted to being behind the order after the Asian markets closed at the end of trading.
not to menion the headline is an outright lie. The company lost 224 Million Dollars. The 3 billion dollars "LOST" were due to the stock market frenzy of selling. Maybe next headline will read: Day of trading cost the us economy 12 billion dollars as stocks fell.
This is case on specialised hardware & software where there is no ubiquitous access. You can disable the alarm but you have to be there at the moment and it's most likely "ringing" already. I believe the weekly-changing-password-taped-under-the-keyboard IS ubiquitous (in Certain ranks) and yet it requires the same level of physical access as the first scenario. At my school, the CS dept, "rebeled" against the School's IT policy of 90 day changing password, we are now given never-expiring passwords. No one forgets them, no one writes them down and it stays that way.
I'm guessing they would stop hooks on the OS's kernel running in privileged mode. But there are many legitimate uses thus they would only be limited in their implementation. Makes it harder but not impossible. Back in the days a rootkit was just a recompiled w, who, ps. No way they could check for those.
Step 1: Find an IT job Step 2: Work diligently until given access to critical systems Step 3: Start acting suspiciously//unhappy w/ management Step 4: Give your resignation... ONE YEAR early! Step 5: Take 6 Month Vacation Step 6: Spend 6 Months looking for your next $sys$target employer. .. BRILLIANT !

Mod Parent Down, If you follow the sig link -> blastwave you will see "Blastwave is a software service for Solaris x86 and Solaris Sparc users". The author has significant bias toward Sun and the comment shows it. Undercut price? Compared to Dell? Does dell sell Opteron? Can you compare? Java is free? And umm, java does not work for the other platforms? OS X runs Java at almost realtime.
I am a student at Gatech and there seems to be a significant bias here toward sun. Some SUN machines are very slow (you could buy them for less than $100 on ebay), see felix.cc (list of machines from GT CS Dept: http://tinyurl.com/8l23j )
I see Sun posters everywhere in the IT rooms, even some student labs.... How about a fair comparison?

Proxomitron is different (better?) than greasemonkey since the browser receives the clean html, while greasemonkey waits for the html to load and then modifies it.

Upon closer inspection, You are wrong, here's the frontpage link:

http://www.science-groove.org/Now/
and here's the link I extracted the mp3's from:

The second link is his own webpage at uwash while the first is a compilation of his cd records.
