I get the feeling that this whole year will be filled with high profile hacks. It's like the dogs have been unleashed and they are out for blood. I know lots of hacks happen all the time, but this feels different.
With the RIAA pushing its political powers to force colleges to stop student access to P2P services, isn't it time to get the FCC involved. The FCC has already made a big deal about ISP's blocking the trafic. Why dont they protect college networks the same way. I sugest we send an email to fccinfo@fcc.gov and explain to them whats going on and ask them for help.

I saw this in a comment, good read.
It is sad that the internet has become so hostile. At work I connected one of our servers to a connection on the outside of our firewall for some remote support (didn't have the VPN papers signed yet). The moment that I enabled the nic, the server informed me that the RPC Service has failed and the computer will shut down.
I was foolish for not checking the patch levels. I assumed that someone else was on top of that. A mistake I will not make again. But home users have problems of their own. They don't know they have to keep it up patched. If I had my grandma running Linux, I would be the one patching it. What about converting all my friends and family to Linux. I would be so overwhelmed keeping each one current.
As it stands, I format, install XP
At the same time, I have to explain why XP is better than the 98 or ME that came with the computer, what SP2 is and why it takes so long, what a firewall is, what firefox is, why I created a special admin account for them to install stuff with and why the should never surf the web while logged into admin with the red background.
And if you are a slashdot regular, I am not telling you anything new. I should release this as a news story, but as we all know, this is not news. Its just the way it is.
antispyware is a hot topic. I just started a weblog and as I see new antispyware related information, I just post it. I hope that by linking to important information, I will raise its visibility.
My personal blog is also starting to grow. I am trying to keep the antispyware blog to just refferences to content, and any actual comments or thought will go to my personal page. I do this so that my personal page gets some content and it might develop a personality. Only time will tell.
I decided to create a few new blogs. One is a colleciton of articles on spyware related information. I might add my own content, but at the moment I am just clipping other articles and linking to them.
Another topic that is popular at the moment is the North Korea Nuclear incident that every one has on their mind.
Wow, What a play by Microsoft. Halo 2 gets leaked a month early and everybody is talking about it. It happens all the time. Doom 3 was floating around in early alpha. I played Warcraft III the week before it was released and I still walked into a store and bought it when it released. Once a game gets out, little can be done to keep it underground.
Microsoft is different, Halo 2 is different. Because it is a month from release, A lot of buzz already surrounding Halo 2. Not to mention the ILoveBees marketing campaign that has attracted a lot of attention. And to top it off, Microsoft says yes it was leaked and do not download it. Then every media outlet covers the story. Now everyone is blogging about it and some suspect Microsoft of releasing it. What they say doesn't matter, as long as they don't link to the download or DVD 5 conversion kits, it becomes harder and harder to find. What has happened is a flood of references to the Halo 2 leak talking about it while the actual leaked files get lost in the mess.
Only Microsoft could pull this off. Every thing they do becomes news, good or bad. I have already preordered my copy of halo 2 so I don't care if I play it early or not. I am just doing my part to keep the chatter going.
I am done writing, any further reference to halo 2 download and to the dvd9 to dvd5 conversion kits or the negative buffer inverter or the French PAL version is mentioned to up the listing in search engines. Bungie did an excellent job with Halo. Halo 2 DVD9 PAL XBOXDVD DiFFUSiON, trust no one.
