I was thinking along the same lines of that. However, I'd like to tally up those responses and if it reaches a certain threshold (% of paid subs?) of votes, then/. would let the editors know by saying "HEY! Something's wrong/good about this post!". I think this would give a good heads up to the editors in case they missed something, but keeping them in control of what stories get posted, etc.
They should be looking at PayPal doing bank practices but not being recognized as a bank. I think that'd benefit more people than going after a forecasting site. Though, I have no problems with doing both.
Usually at the Winner's Circle or whenever the driver gets some time to talk to the camera, they thank their pit crew first. If you've ever seen them change tires, or whatever it's incredibly fast. Not to mention all of the other repairs they have to do at lightning speed.
Johnny has 25 NT boxes and 19 of them have WVMS (windows virtual machine software) running on them. If 7 of those 19 are running WVMS within WVMS and 3 of those 7 are running Win2k Advanced Server, and the other 4 are running WinXP Pro, while the rest of the 19 are using WinME in the WVMS for backwards compatability issues. How many licenses will you need?
Bonus: How much will this cost including the inflation of the economy and of Microsoft's prices by the year 2004?
LiNT makes a great point. This is Symantec's business. If you "forced" Symantec to disclose all of their privileged information to the public, then there would probably be no Symantec. A company like MSSP or Symantec have their own responsibilities. If they didn't, what would be the point of them existing?
Also, we don't know of Symantec's certainty of their info about the worm, or even the severity of it (before it happened). Here's your mall scenario of what I'm talking about.
Suppose you're on some local city's bulletin board (online) and some kid as sUperc00l posts something like "man that security officer is a total idiot, I'd love to cap some ass in that mall some day."
Do you A.) immediately call the police and report the "tip" you received, or B.) tell your friends to stay away from the mall for a few days.
I'm under the impression that most people didn't expect the worm to spread so quickly (90% of targeted machines infected within the first 5 minutes). Symantec probably heard about something vague and decided that it'd be in their best interests to alert their top customers. They're the ones paying for super-paranoid alerts, the other guys aren't.
I don't see why people expect companies to donate information that costs them to find. They could've used this info in two ways, the way I see it. First, is to share it to their corporate customers who pay to have this kind of early warning. Second, release it to the media, CERT, and other organizations and make sure they "advertise" that Symantec found it first.
So they chose the first. Big deal. Do you really think even a majority of these sysadmins would have firewalled their MS SQL server hours before it would be infected? Doubtful. If they didn't apply the patch from July of '02, then they're not going to immediately respond in a few hours to patch an impending threat.
Terahertz imaging can be achieved by observing the natural terahertz waves emitted by pretty much everything. Unlike light, terahertz waves are able to propagate through cloud and smoke providing a powerful advantage for certain remote sensing measurements. From a practical aspect they are also able to pass through windows, paper, clothing and in certain instances even walls.
Sounds like thermal imaging on steroids. Eventually, would this become the standard military surveillance method that could be used on a UAV in enemy or (god forbid) domestic airspace?
I'll keep the intro brief. I started using Linux in May of '97 and it was some ancient Slackware distro. Anyways, it was mainly used as a server but I thought it was cool anyways. The server (upgraded several times of course) is still running today. I've always read people talk about Linux on the desktop etc. etc. but I was like, yeah whatever maybe someday I'll put time into it and make a neat desktop out of it (remember, I'm still thinking in terms of the ancient Slack distro).
About a month ago I found Knoppix and I was really blown away. It runs Debian actually. Anyways, even my dad loved it so much he got an old pc and threw Debian on it. I learned how to get around dselect/apt-get and I was really impressed. Admittedly, I had never used a packaging system before. (Knowing where everything installed on my old Slack server is a *skill*) Anyways, I still play with Debian adding/removing packages and I haven't come across a problem yet.
I think my favorite part was upgrading the kernel from 2.2.x to 2.4.x and Debian was told me "hey modify your/etc/lilo.conf", so I did it, then went back to dselect and finished the install. I rebooted. It was magically in 2.4.x. Anyways, I like the packaging system hopefully you will too.
I'll be impressed if anyone actually finished through this boring tale of mine.
Look at the DDoS attacks that crippled DALnet. This is not the first time this has happened to DALnet or any other IRC network, hell even my network. They want to try to solve the cause of the problem (problem=DDoS) since they can't stop the problem itself. Sorry to generalize, but these huge warez chans are a breeding ground of kiddies who have egos bigger than Quakenet.
No one is about to prosecute an IRC network, your reasoning is totally offbase and just more anti-RIAA rhetoric.
Furthermore, I'd like to believe that DALnet is a bit happier that they don't have to deal with 90% of the kiddies now that they'll find somewhere else "better" and move there.
Sorry, not a lawyer, but keep in mind RAMBUS hasn't "won" anything. As one of the previous posters explained, the case was sent back because the earlier judge misdefined 5 terms.
To answer your question, I think the legal process will solve this. (IOW, the threat of a lawsuit would prevent this kind of deception)

This happened to Napster because they ran the servers as a central database. Kazaa is peer to peer, Sharman Networks only sells the software to do it, they don't control what is traded by the people who download it.

Agreed. Seems like someone wants to be a RedHat wannabe minus the ingenuity. Oh well.
if you want to do that, open up a Hooters restaurant.
the editor's comments did the trolling for you.
And of course, the info is on the website. Including ``... and is expected on shelves in April in Australia, Europe and Asia.''

Probably because the RIAA is slowly but surely getting a bad reputation since they're cracking down a lot more. They don't need anymore of this.
Imagine the headlines of, "RIAA SHUTS DOWN KEY PARTS OF INTERNET". Yeah, that's a major exaggeration. Does the media exaggerate? Never!
