Inside the Duqu Worm's Source Code 157
angry tapir writes "Wrapped in the code the Duqu worm uses to infect computers is the message: 'Copyright (c) 2003 Showtime Inc. All rights reserved. DexterRegularDexter.' An analysis of the worm has also revealed that Duqu, which is similar to Stuxnet and may even have been written by the same developers, may be four years old and that it generally tries to steal information on Wednesdays."

I'm just trying to get this project's pom-files to behave. After that, I'll do some real coding. That is, if you accept that coding in Java is 'real coding'.
Maven is such a waste of time

It's too vague to actually implement it without reverse-engineering WebKit first.
Seems somebody already did that for you.

"This site works best with..." remember the loathe 'we' used to have for that phrase, because it was almost invariably followed by "Internet Explorer"?
Oh, you youngsters.
I, for one, remember when 'we' loathed it because it was invariably followed by Netscape.

Why would they do this? It has to be something they can sell or bargain with. So does this mean they'll try to lower the price they pay to Dell for preinstalling Ubuntu (if, in fact, they're actually paying for this). Or are they planning to create an adware-version of Ubuntu?
Neither seems very likely, so

Actually, it requires Silverlight. Even with Moonlight installed I get:
Sorry, but Silverlight is not supported on this operating system.
Silverlight works on Windows and on Mac OS (Intel only).

Submission + - Internet is 40 today (wikipedia.org)
blirp writes: The first message ever sent over the ARPANET (sent over the first host-to-host connection) occurred at 10:30 PM on October 29, 1969. It was sent by UCLA student programmer Charley Kline and supervised by UCLA Professor Leonard Kleinrock. The message was sent from the UCLA SDS Sigma 7 Host computer to the SRI SDS 940 Host computer. The message itself was simply the word "login." The "l" and the "o" transmitted without problem but then the system crashed. Hence, the first message on the ARPANET was "lo". They were able to do the full login about an hour later.

This is obviously because gravity does not exist, but the observed effect is a result of an higher intelligence pushing things down.

I have at least 14 virtual machines installed. Most are never used, but as long as I *can* install any OS in a VM, I do, and I check it out for a while. Then, new OS or new version.
I even try different VM's, so there's Ubuntu, Kubuntu and xUbuntu 9.04, Windows XP, Vista and 7 on VirtualBox and on VMWare... No wonder I manage to fill up even a 200GB disk.
And, in addition to video and music, each full branch of our product takes up about 1 gig...

We've done this before, it's not very interesting. It could be interesting to look at the profits they make, but the percentage of some arbitrary set point?

A Cyber-Attack On an American City 461
Bruce Perens writes "Just after midnight on Thursday, April 9, unidentified attackers climbed down four manholes in the Northern California city of Morgan Hill and cut eight fiber cables in what appears to have been an organized attack on the electronic infrastructure of an American city. Its implications, though startling, have gone almost un-reported.
So I decided to change that."
