piercings and mohawks somehow make someone 'cutting edge' or a better coder? i think not. good developers will follow the jobs. i'll save you the trip to monster.com, here are some search results from there: search results ------ ------- java 5000+ .net 4581 c++ 3706 c# 3369 perl 2569 python 1035 ruby 547 cobol 286 - 5000 is apparently the limit for the number of results a query can provide at monster.com (weak) so there are most likely far more that 5000 java jobs in their database - couldn't figure out how to search for C reliably, but it's probably up over 5000 as well.

please... X11, NX, VNC and Sun Ray all suck ass compared to RDP. i use them all on a daily basis, and RDP is far and away the best of them all. authentication, remote devices (USB, printing), sound, mapped drives, etc. etc. none of these other solutions even touch on any of those features. not to mention, the performance of RDP smokes all of those others completely out of the water.

Wouldn't Solaris have to go along with the Sparc hardware business as well?

I mean what good is a new Sparc without Solaris to run on it?

CCC Create a Rogue CA Certificate 300

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday December 30, 2008 @01:14PM from the they-even-faked-this-dept dept.

t3rmin4t0r writes "Just when you were breathing easy about Kaminsky, DNS and the word hijacking, by repeating the word SSL in your head, the hackers at CCC were busy at work making a hash of SSL certificate security. Here's the scoop on how they set up their own rogue CA, by (from what I can figure) reversing the hash and engineering a collision up in MD5 space. Until now, MD5 collisions have been ignored because nobody would put in that much effort to create a useful dummy file, but a CA certificate for phishing seems juicy enough to be fodder for the botnets now."

Submission + - Did Warner Brothers Just Kill HD DVD? (nytimes.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Friday January 04, 2008 @10:39PM

An anonymous reader writes: The NY Times reports: In addition to Apple, Warner Brothers is now going to throw its weight behind the Blu-ray format for high-definition disks. Warner has been the only major studio to publish its movies in both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats. Today, the studio announced that from now on, it would only issue movies in Blu-ray. Richard Greenfield, the media analyst with Pali Research, wrote that this marks the end of the format wars: "We expect HD DVD to 'die' a quick death."
