I cannot remember all the times when I made a mistake and went to one of those "search" index sites because I know they will hose up your IE. I panic and just shut off IE as hastily is I can. I know a spyware-hosting site when I see one. I still panic when it happens to me when on Linux using FF or Konquorer. I don't use IE, not just because I don't use Windows, but because it gets pwnd all the time.
I would wonder about the scan method they used. The mail servers maybe designed to just ignore ping requests. While this inconsistancy from servers that respond and servers that don't pretty much proves they are disorganized and such, it doesn't quite prove that the servers are down. Now there are other scan methodes. nmap is a great scanner though I hear there are better ones. nmap would be bloated for a simple, "Are you alive?" poke, but if the server is configured to ignore ping requests, a different type of packet is required. I'm certain there are a lot of other tools perfectly suited to this task, and probably more so. The article left out the scan type. I would find this a tad critical considering the nature of what the article claimed. A ping can only prove something is alive, not that it is dead.
Gah, I stopped using doze when my Active X went to the shitters. No ActiveX no updates... sure they're workarounds, but I found them to work sometimes. Not good enough for me. I'm now a happy nixer, and I'll never go back.
That's actually a major reason why I uninstalled Windows. The updates wouldn't work. I had to use IE and due to some ActiveX thing, it wouldn't. I couldn't enable ActiveX and I searched everywhere. I talked to the bloody M$ service reps and they gave me all these little things to do and none of it worked. It sucked. I ultimately never rebooted into Windows, forgot the password, tried to crack it, realized I screwed it up, and deleted it.
Dude, Microsoft hasn't been able to get Windows SMB protocol to interop with... Windows. Have you ever worked with this? It's a nightmare. You reboot this, reboot that, It still doesn't work. Evenutally you just get pissed off, go sit in a corner and suck your thumb.
I wonder if this virtualization removes the dependency hell from their package manager. This Virtual Integration might mean that you can finally use RPM without all that fuss. Then you could actually integrate your RH machine into a business environment without all the pain.
Well, you can sue the corporation, but you can't sue the owners. Corporations protect the owners so if they do nasty things, you can only get the corporation. Of course, you could peirce the corporate veil, but that's hard, and you can only get the board of directors at that point. The owners still get away scott free.
He could have just wrote files that look like they where the deleted files. Depending on the issue, you chose the file name, or some files that go in that spot, or whatever. Change the time and date stamps. Then you delete those files. When they attempt a recovery, they will find the recent files, which prove innocence.
If this bill is anything like our ol' "obscene" laws then it's basically worthless. What's obscene is considered not to have any value in politics, art, educational, this, that, and has to be just really gross. Now, since "politics," and "art" are both very personal opinions and very subjective, it's basically impossible to claim anything as obscene. There is almost nothing that's not obscene, except for shock sites like [NOT SAFE FOR WORK] eelgirl.com and lemonparty.org and the legendary goatse.cx and tubgirl, both now defunct.
We all here know what a hacker is. We all know what a cracker is. We all know what a script kiddie is. That's what we know.
The audience of the media don't know what a hacker is, or what a cracker is. They don't know that these botnets are not hackers or even crackers. They don't know what script kiddies are. The BBC calls these dudes hackers.
We know why script kiddies do their worthless crap. They do it for the attention. They do it for their own ego. The money makes them extortionists and thus, criminals. The media is making script kiddies out of ordinary losers by making them famous and calling them hackers.
Yeah well, these people should not be feeling too upset over the upgrade issue. I run Gentoo and I'm trying to upgrade it. I am even having trouble switching to a new compiler version. If you think you have upgrade woes, try Gentoo. Worse? Try RedHat or an RPM based distro. Now that's pain. Of course, I wouldn't trade Linux in for Windows...ever. However, this hemmoraging is getting to me.

They only succeed by breaking the law. So, yeah, Microsoft has a good point.

You can't sue the government.
Masturbation causes blindness, so that's a big problem for all geeks.
It's tasty? I didn't know that. I'm ganna' try some someday.

I wonder if Bug testing qualifies. If it does, then just using Linux and any OpenSource product counts :D
Microsoft is going to be pissed.
Dude, I'm actually going to write a tax suite for 'nix. I'll port it to 'doze of course :)
I vandalize Wikipedia.
Well, I have Gentoo now, so I have a different type of dependency hell.
I didn't, no. I was just making a point that RPM is a pain in the neck.
I used yum, it fails often. If there are like more than 20 dependencies, it chokes to death.

I'm ganna' make a beowolf cluster out of a bunch of them. I'll looke like a nerd, but I'll be able to crack your encrypted files in seconds.
