Problems with Skype login
By My status Joosep on August 16, 2007.
UPDATED 14:02 GMT: Some of you may be having problems logging into Skype. Our engineering team has determined that it's a software issue. We expect this to be resolved within 12 to 24 hours. Meanwhile, you can simply leave your Skype client running and as soon as the issue is resolved, you will be logged in. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Additionally, downloads of Skype have been temporarily disabled. We will make downloads available again as quickly as possible."
Submission + - Bug Hits Skype's Peer-to-Peer Network (itworld.com)
narramissic writes: "ITworld reports that a software bug affecting Skype's peer-to-peer network is preventing users in some parts of the world, particularly Europe, to log on to the VOIP service, although users in the U.S. don't seem to be having problems. A posting on a company blog said the company expects to have the problems resolved within 12 to 24 hours and advises users to leave their Skype client running so they can be logged back in once the issues are dealt with. The blog also said that downloads of Skype have been temporarily disabled and that the company hopes to make them available again as quickly as possible."

Submission + - Skype, net neutrality and deep packet inspections
An anonymous reader writes: Hi all
I live in the UK using NTL/Virgin as a ISP provider (cable broadband), and I and my coworkers have been having trouble with Skype lately, and today it is popping in and out of connectivity and everyone appears to be offline. I was just wondering if others are experiencing the same, and where you are located (UK, US, etc...) and which ISP providers you are using... wisdom of the crowds etc...
The cynic in me tells me that it smells of this http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/26/16 8202 as that story is about the UK ISPs exploring the deep packet inspection possibilities...

Submission + - The Pirate Bay About To Relaunch Suprnova.org 3
kungfujesus writes: The Pirate Bay crew has been working on this secret project for quite some time now. Back in April they wrote a cryptic post on their blog announcing that something was coming. In a response to this announcement TPB admin Brokep told TorrentFreak: "The past, the present and the future. It's all the same, but one thing's for sure, we will radiate for weeks", today it became clear that he was referring to the resurrection of Suprnova.

Submission + - Russian Subs Seek Glory at North Pole (forbes.com)
PatPending writes: MOSCOW — Two small manned Russian submarines completed a voyage of 2 1/2 miles to the Arctic shelf below the North Pole Thursday, planting a titanium capsule on the Arctic Ocean floor to symbolically claim what could be vast energy reserves beneath the seabed. The dive was part serious scientific expedition and part political theater. But it could mark the start of a fierce legal scramble for control of the sea bed among nations that border the Arctic, including Russia, the U.S., Canada, Norway and Denmark, through its territory Greenland.
Submission + - Forensics Expert says Al-Qaeda Images Altered
WerewolfOfVulcan writes: Wired reports that researcher Neal Krawetz revealed some veeeeeery interesting things about the Al-Qaeda images that our government loves to show off.
From the article: "Krawetz was also able to determine that the writing on the banner behind al-Zawahiri's head was added to the image afterward. In the second picture above showing the results of the error level analysis, the light clusters on the image indicate areas of the image that were added or changed. The subtitles and logos in the upper right and lower left corners (IntelCenter is an organization that monitors terrorist activity and As-Sahab is the video production branch of al Qaeda) were all added at the same time, while the banner writing was added at a different time, likely around the same time that al-Zawahiri was added, Krawetz says." Why would Al-Qaeda add an IntelCenter logo to their video? Why would IntelCenter add an Al-Qaeda logo? Methinks we have bigger fish to fry than Gonzo and his fired attorneys... }:-) The article contains links to Krawetz's presentation and the source code he used to analyze the photos.
