Perhaps you meant this one by The Frames. Was done in a Dublin Post Office after hours with the help of a friend who worked there. Again @ the time they had no money for recording a video commercially. Does sound a bit familiar to Pixies fans;) but good in it's own right.
Malware is not defined anywhere in the article. While incomplete it did say that:
PC Tools has publicized details of some of the malware types it has found on Vista systems during its scans, including three pages of variants based on Trojan.Agent, a few of which were described as serious. Not a definition of what they classed as malware, but 3 pages of Trojans would seem to indicate that they found something, no?
Stalin had no army at the time, even when the Germans invaded the red army was horrifically under provisioned however they fought with exceptional courage and, with the aid of "General Winter", defeated the German army.
The non-aggression pact may have been cynical but it was a necessary breathing space for the Russians to enter the arms race of the day
Who ever thought they'd hear the line, let me show you how I do it in Perl, that'll explain everything, but hey who said it was a write only language;)
use HTML::Entities (); use CGI qw/:standard/; foreach $param ( param() ) { $value = HTML::Entities::decode( param($param) );# Remove url encoded sneakiness $value =~ s/[^a-zA-Z0-9,-]//go; # Strip invalid characters param($param,$value); # reset the parameters value for the rest of the script. }
Bingo, according to the linked page of circling IIS admins it's ASP, but this isn't MS's fault. It's badly written code by the web-developers the "Bobby Tables" problem.
For it to have hit 500K sites I'd assume their all using the same toolkit/framework for their apps.
In conclusion much as I enjoy abusing MS this hasn't been proven to be their fault yet, and I'd assume it's a poorly coded toolkit from some company that's about to lose a lot of custom.
DTrace, Solaris Containers, ZFS filesystem....
Nothing of which you'll miss on your Kubuntu desktop but for production environments and development shops Solaris still holds the edge, I run Linux on the desktop and Solaris on the server myself, gnome on Open Solaris has issues as Linux is the target so it's not optimised for Solaris (proc issues etc)
I kinda agree with you, but I'm over 40 too;)
Most of the younger staff here take a few months to get used to Solaris, it's the little things, netstat doesn't work as they expect (Why can't I just see the PID/binary name), ls doesn't have the switches they expect and to perfectly honest, while pkgtools is familiar to anyone who's used Slack etc kids today are spoiled with apt and they're right to like it, it "Just works"
We can't over modify the system as they need to be able to provide advice to clients with production Solaris environments so they have to learn for now , but I guarantee that all those shiny GNUisms will be available on Solaris in the medium term because Linux has given people an expectation of usability from the CLI that Solaris doesn't have @ the moment.
Ahh youth, there is a wonderful black (& white) comedy your education missed, Dr. Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. Get it out and watch it, if you aren't rolling on the floor laughing at some point you have had a sense of humour bypass.
I got through to their customer support once, they had bought a company which had hosted the email for a domain I was looking after. As a result any mail sent from eircom to this domain got redirected to their alias.
I spent 3 days trying to get past their support line to someone who had a clue. Seriously each time I had to explain to a numpty that it wasn't a problem with my Outlook settings as I used mutt and could I talk to their manager, everytime they resisted and everytime when I eventually got through to the manager they hadn't a clue either and couldn't give me a number for someone who did, eventually got a name from the Irish Linux Users Group list, but that was a very frustrating 3 days.
By the way I see their crappness as a defence in this case, "If we were doing our job properly there'd be loads more downloads"

Actually an alternative defence for Eircom could be that their network is crap, their broadband rollout has been pathetic and if they were doing their job properly IMRO would be seeing waaay more music downloads.
Seriously though this one just isn't a runner, the various record label umbrella groups have realised they can't go after every 12 year old with computer access (or in the US case suing indigent men for their shopping trolleys) so they will try to tackle the access, however any company that put this cruft on their servers would lose their subscriber base overnight as people fled to other providers.
There are complete implementations of X.500, however it would be better compared to LDAP, which is a stripped down version of the protocol that can be understood and implemented by mere mortals.
Perhaps you meant OSI V's TCP/IP
DISCLAIMER: I work for a Co. that has a complete X.500 capable/LDAP server (Depending on how you call the directoryrc)
In a strange way you could be right.
How wrong would sending the command for a DDOS attack on 127.0.0.1 into the P2P network be.
Maybe if their own machines were banjaxed the owners of these botnet hosts might take a look at getting them fixed?

That said, while Monsanto's research is fascinating and has real potential to advance agriculture, their rush to market with under-examined technologies is worrying and the prospect of a global mono-culture (identical varieties of seed globally) is very disturbing.
I was at a funeral not that long ago at which some muppet answered her phone and in a voice that could be heard at the far end of the cemetry began to explain that she was at a funeral, who it was we were burying and that the fucking weather was awful.
Some people need to learn to turn their phones off. Mine is on during the working day and if I'm not busy or if something is likely to come up at work in my own time otherwise I'm quite hard to find and I like it that way.
If all or most software is going open-source, how does a software company make money?
Don't say services because services don't provide real cash flow. The company that supplies me with wealth tokens gets them exclusively from support and services. Development is a cost for them, which is paid for by the revenues raised by Technical Support and Professional Services (Customising our software for their needs).
And we're not alone in that, there's a little known company called IBM that makes most of it's money through consulting services, sure they do a bit of development and are fairly good at throwing it back to the community, but development is a cost.
As has been pointed out earlier you only get meat from a cow once but you can keep milking it for the rest of it's life (Sick of car analogies, lets get agricultural for a change;) ).
Hey! I drive a 12 year old Corolla (don't know what they're marketed as in the US) and it's a fine car.
I've grown out of the "must be capable of 180 and 0-60 in under 4secs attitude and now it's just a means of getting about.
Just because he doesn't share your (in my opinion juvenile) obsession in modes of transport doesn't mean he's underpaid
In fact given the general security level of MS products he's almost certainly overpaid;)
Not sure if you're serious or trolling, but when Excel first came out it certainly didn't blow away Quatro Pro, it was a feature poor piece of crap by comparison and as for
WordPerfect blew it in the business world when they couldn't figure out how to work correctly with standard Windows print drivers
Isn't that perhaps a result of anti-competitive monopoly abuse by MS? Didn't they get done for similar exclusionary behaviour towards Lotus-123 ? Aren't Europe still trying to get them to release the full spec of the Windows API ?
I used to be able to open Netscape and Emacs and just have the occasional tick as I dipped into swap on my old 8MB 486-DX 66MHz. Today I noticed that I was dipping into swap with Eclipse and Firefox open on a 512MB Pentium 1.8GHz.
As a result I wish to propose a corollary to Moore's law:
Skrynsaver's observation: states that every 17 months some idiot will add an unnecessary feature to any piece of software in effect doubling it's hardware requirements. This is based on previous work carried out on the WINtel postulate
You may not like Python as a language for real world use, I know I don't, however it does have a place in a teaching environment and that is the objective of the XO, to be a teaching tool, not a standard desktop distro.
For personal use I'd choose the Eee but for a kid I'd probably choose the XO as it's designed deliberately as a route into learning to take advantage of the machine. A real world implementation of "The computer is the game"(Tom Christiansen) if you will.
