the whole thing smells of pure crap
mitnick is a decent fellow that just f-cked up
Yahoo Internet Life runs an interview. ..
ZD NET picks it up and then a few minutes later
smashes out a "Mitnick Approves of DNA DB!"
common! mitnick is admittedly behind the times and won't be any good until 2003 when he gets to play ketchup.
All he remembers is the old con game of "social engineering" which will never go old. But ZDNET is plainly grasping for news fodder off of what Yahoo INTERNET LIFE runs.
Kevin should learn not to talk to the media
60 minutes burned him, The New York Times Libeled him on the front page, and now Yahoo! and ZDNET sell his used underwear for a few cents a sniff.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has begun the effort as of 1990!
You are however very correct about taking an active stance against corporatist intellectualism--known as greed.
What should Irk anyone with a sense of ingenuity is that information should be free, but in the intrests of some it benefits them so it should not too. I know what I am saying is old hat, but I must insist as did Brian Martin, in "Against Intellectual Property":
. ..Surely there
is no better indication that intellectual property is primarily of value to
those who are already powerful and wealthy (Drahos 1995; Patel 1989).
Much like realestate merket in San Francisco, Intellectual Property is overvalued.
There just aren't enough smart people out there!:P
what to do? Free software Foundation? Yes! and maybe even more than just giving people a better choice--allout attack on the corporatist unit.
I am no Marxist nor do I want to be, but there should be something done. And I feel that I am not alone in this regard to notice that the world has inadequacies about wealth and power is one thing, but to limit the knowledge in the name of the "market place of ideas" is to commit obvious treason to future generations.
MS win2k has NFS support.
yes. They claim that you can share "Unix Style" paths or UNC's on a server. It does also support SMB (although Samba is not Recomended, surprise).
I quote:
Server for NFS is an NFS server implemented on a Windows-based server. It allows UNIX-based NFS
clients to access files on Windows-based computers the same way files on other UNIX NFS servers may be
accessed. For UNIX-based NFS users, this process is completely transparent. File level access is determined
by the user's UID or GID as well as by Windows access control lists (ACLs). Server for NFS supports NFS
on all Windows-based file systems including FAT, CDFS, and NTFS.
Take a look at Microsoft's Use Of NFS
This may be the easier way to have M$ clients interconnectivity with unicies no?
This still does not make NTFS clients illegal though...and the MS client still is propritary, but hey its a start.
Security is something you need to do like brushing your teeth.
You can definitely skip that activity but eventually your teeth fallout (think of "cookie" the penultimate cook in western movies).
It is all about upkeep. Don't care about it? Then let it all go to hell.
Let your mail server host SPAM redirects, Let your Intellectual Property be compromised. Allow your resources to be wasted or abused by others.
Really, let the "premier Desktop OS" be so open to vulnerabilities that you can't use it without letting everyone on your subnet knowing what files you are sharing becuase you are too ignorant to worry about such things.(M$!)
I really can't talk to this level--there is only security if you think what you have is worth keeping yours. You lock your car. You lock your door at night. You try to take care of what you want to keep no?
I guess not.
Yes and no.
I have a friend who began programing in the mid-80's when 1 MB of Ram Cost 1 Million Dollars! (yup!) he dropped out of classes at a big university and worked on and off contract jobs for almost everybody (from M$ to who-knows) and made some decent change along the way.
16 years later he decides to go back to school,where I meet him and he eventually graduditates Moral of the Story: you can do both if you really want to, nobody can help you finish college or keep a job. You have either the ability to do it or fail. That's Lif.
We must prevent un-wanted social distractions from interfering with the Beurocratized Consumption by the masses.
Think about Lefebre's idea that society is a structure of organized consumption. The consumer is not an individual with rights (or even money). They are a public responisbility.
Aside from the fact that people would rather have their children see explosions and decapitations (gore) than SEX, Paternalism extends the idea that violence is acceptable and sex is degenerating to the individual.
Sex is a creative process (love, babies, emotions, etc) and Violence is destructive process (love, babies and emotions too). But think about all the Sex laws we have restricting content based on Protestant (originally ala Max Weber) moral codes: what happens? Now we have equlization--both are restricted to minors (those having Legal Gaurdians) in practice.
Is this good? no.
But atleast it is equally unfair and does not propose that violence is any "better" than Sex.
Minors do not have rights (per their legal status) and societal mores are notoriously conservative (more old people vote than younguns) we are left with a situation that favors Big Brother and more laws regulatiting everything for OUR SAFETY. Nice blankies and regulated consumerism.
Hey now! all of you are talking about the Need for Standards hell, there's already an RFC for internet connected appliances!
RFC2324! (http://sunsite.auc.dk/RFC/rfc/rfc2324.ht ml)
the HTCPCP method even handles multiple languages..
I post using Deja and Already I have a footer on the message saying that this message was posted using (AD ALERT! AD ALERT!) Deja.com. This is an ad? This is an infringement of my inailiable right to litigate and obsfucate any issue under the American Constitution! No. Not an AD, not anything more than a piece of Viral Marketing and a clever trick that made Hotmail the biggest E-mail Provider on the internet. Mail.yahoo.com also lets you send mail and posts a little footer saying (use Yahoo, I do!) and the like. Now this is also an evil evil thing, why? because they let me use a free service and I should be able to screw them over. Litigation ultimately only benefits the lawers involved as they swap venom between each other and later on after the ruling go out to the yacht club and have a party at your expense. What you create and willingly distribute you have no control over. By using a public network and posting your message on a server that provides a free service (there is a bit of legalese that covers this.. anyone dig it up?) you implicity allow Deja.com or the server you post through to do whatever it says it can. yeah, it stinks that you can't copyright every post, utterance and flatulent air you produce--but information cannot be owned, only controlled. is deja bad for skewing posts? maybe not the smartest thing.
The exploit for AIM and other messaging protocols have been around since before August (but nobody reads those anyhow). The security hole posed by ICQ's protocols have been available since 1997! We can see some here: http://www.insecure.org/sploits/icq.sp00fer.html and here too: http://www.insecure.org/sploits/icq.spoof.overflow .seq.html there is code given that can be used to flood and take over the connection. Also some intresting things about the proprietary ICQ protocol implementation. As for AIM we happen to see that it gives a static open port that can be flooded. You will find that most corps. will not allow employees with net access to use AIM or AIM-Like products because of the security risks. Was M$ right about dropping the whole insane messenger thing? maybe they couldn't win--but Front Page extentsions and IIS are not exactly the models of security either.
Slashdot Mirror
If more big networks get bogged with eeevil Spam, maybe they might rally together and stop it.
Sounds to hard to do. The UUnet story mentions all the hassles (weeks to stop Spammer's accounts).
Maybe they should learn to use SPAMCOP?
