Submission + - 'I'm the Guy Who Sent out the $12.50 Yahoo T-Shirt'
Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes: Ramses Martinez, Director of Yahoo Paranoids, writes that he's the guy who runs the Yahoo team that works with the security community on issues and vulnerabilities and it's been an interesting 36 hours since the story first appeared on slashdot. "Here’s the story. When I first took over the team that works with the security community on issues and vulnerabilities, we didn’t have a formal process to recognize and reward people who sent issues to us. We were very fast to remedy issues but didn’t have anything formal for thanking people that sent them in." Martinez started sending a t-shirt as a personal “thanks.” It wasn’t a policy, he just just thought it would be nice to do. But Yahoo recently decided to improve the process of vulnerability reporting. The “send a t-shirt” idea needed an upgrade. Yahoo will now reward individuals and firms that identify what we classify as new, unique and/or high risk issues between $150 — $15,000. The amount will be determined by a clear system based on a set of defined elements that capture the severity of the issue. " If you submitted something to us and we responded with an acknowledgment (and probably a t-shirt) after July 1st, we will reconnect with you about this new program. This includes, of course, a check for the researchers at High-Tech Bridge who didn’t like my t-shirt."

Comment They don't rely on top speed? (Score 1) 2
I certainly hate to play the role of antagonist here, but cheetahs DO rely on top speed.
Cheetahs currently have an approximate top speed of 75MPH and an approximate accelleration rate of 0-60 in 3 seconds (wikipedia). Admittedly, I am not an ethologist. However, I'm pretty positive that if we reduced the TOP SPEED of a cheetah to 7 MPH it wouldn't be able to catch anything regardless of how agile or quick it may accelerate.

We still support systems that are going on 30 years old. What's the big deal about 5 years from now? Is this question being asked by the same people that predicted flying cars would happen years ago?

no thinking person believes the BS; but thinking people are not in charge...
Thinking people ARE in charge. They think that the majority of people will not understand these principles. They are correct. They also understand that the thinking people who do not hold positions of power work hard to wake up the sheeple and convert them into thinkers. So the thinkers in charge work tirelessly to keep them asleep.

US Military Signs Modernization Deal With Microsoft 228
Dupple writes with news that Microsoft has signed an agreement with the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and the Defense Information Systems Agency to modernize the software those organizations use. According to Microsoft, the deal will cover 75% of all Department of Defense personnel, and bring to them the latest versions of SharePoint, Office, and Windows. The deal awards Microsoft $617 million, which is after discounts to the software totaling in the tens of millions. Interestingly, DISA's senior procurement executive said, "[The agreement] recognizes the shift to mobility. Microsoft is committed to making sure that the technology within the agreement has a mobile-first focus, and we expect to begin to take advantage of Microsoft’s mobile offerings as part of our enterprise mobility ecosystem."

Home server 2003 does real time replication. Check out this screen shot, and note the "duplication" column:
http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/shared-folders.png
All you have to do is install Home Server with two or more drives, and check [x] enable duplication for the shared folders you want to replicate. It's that easy. If one of the duplicated drives fails, the data is on the other drive in NTFS format. This means that you don't have to rebuild a RAID array. I ripped my audio collection about 10 years ago, and I have been running Home Server for about 6 years now. It has successfully duplicated 8TB of data without issue during that time.
Comment Isn't the attorney also a pedophile? (Score 1) 90
Correct me if I'm wrong: In order for the attorney to acuse people of downloading child pornography, wouldn't he first have to download the torrent to ensure it actually contained that type of material? If this step wasn't performed, his cases would have no merrit. So, doesn't that also make him or his firm just as guilty as the people he is accusing? Somebody should shake him down for 1000s.
