My best D.O.S attack to date? ----- I forgot to unlock the computer labs. ;) It's been a decade since I worked in the 'computer/internet security' field. Marketing, first DES product for non-banking applications in 1991. Having installed something called a cern 'world side web server' and something called a 'firewall' with training by some dude named Marcus Ranum. The company that I worked for at the time, "BOUGHT" the first 'FREE' firewall from T.I.S. -------------- Firewall - Eah! (Think Homer Simpson) ....... Isn't that what the operating system suppose to do? -------------- SO, IF a bunch of people dial this thing, like free tickets to a concert at the local radio station, they will get a busy signal? "YEP!" AH! So, then it doesn't work! "No! It works! - it keeps people out". But, If a bunch a people 'chose' to keep me out, they could right? "YEP!" Ah! So, then it doesn't work! "No! It works! - it keeps people out". AH! Just doesn't guarantee people can get 'in' ;) -------------- I am old enough to remember when Peter Norton still said there was no such thing as a computer virus and Robert Morris SENIOR still worked for the NSA. I am just really amazed that there has been little to 'NO' forward movement in IT security. Still fighting the same base problems with the same base methods ALL which seem to entail some level of 'brute force' as their awe-inspring 'secret'. Signed - Not Anonymous.

I started reading the WSJ when I was seven (7) - YES seven. (my dads), that was 1972. The one thing I loved about it was it never changed like snow in winter and sun in summer. I think it changed once in those first 25 years when it went from 1/8 to decimals. Still a dreadful shame, If you can't do math you shouldn't be in the market. The Journal has gone to the country on long drive and won't be back. First, fourth section, the 'weekend section' - Trying to reach my age group demographics us gen 'X' with a dirt bike computer guys and goatee - Dude! we are doing a full roll-out tests every weekend! We don't have weekends off. If I needed ideas on how to waste my money I buy a playboy or G. What was that the late 90's. That was the beginning of the end. Then they change the column format: How COULD YOU? Then you shrunk the size, oh it wasn't much but I noticed. Added Color!!! If I wanted color I would watch tv or heaven forbid buy the USA today. I read the WSJ because it didn't change. Then cut the middle column in HALF. What I am riding the bus with the commoners? Finally you sold out literally to who? Fox news or was it the Beging Post or both. I had already stopped renewing by then. Oh, And Moss left the only warm spot in a train wreck and left by then. Like a old girl crush from high school you see at the 25th - Not as hot as your thought she was. I will never read WSJ again. I get better report ing from slashdot than that p.o.s. More than anything it's sad, I was a really good paper, Unbiased in it's reporting (Biased in what it reported one could say). But, cracker jack reporting. Another top shelf drink mixed with coke. r.i.p.
