Comment Re: React (Score 1) 18

I think you might be confused, this has nothing to do with React, does it? In other words, these run times and micro VMS have nothing to do with the front end. Necessarily, they don't change how you write code for the front end, unless you're talking about dynamic compiling stuff and streaming server side rendering, is that what you're talking about?

I confess - I had to fold my arms, sit back and smirk at the amazing rudeness here. I use the the colloquial term "screenscrape" only as a way of putting the entire concept of pulling the data down / mirroring it into a single unit of thought that is easily understandable. I intended to convey a concept, an idea - not a technical solution. I intended to get other people thinking about how to mirror it - and that they did. I apologize for not using your desired key words - I'll think long and hard about my error and loose much sleep over it ... oh, wait, no I won't. I'll chuckle to myself once more, click post, and then forget about you forever. Cheers!

Man Builds His Own Subway 174

Posted by samzenpus from the everyone-needs-a-hobby dept.
jerryjamesstone writes "Everybody is into rail these days; it is the greenest way to get around next to a bike. Leonid Mulyanchik has been into it for years since before the Berlin Wall fell, since before the first Macintosh, building his own private underground Metro railway system. English-Russia says that he has been doing it with his pension, that it is all legal and approved and that he is still at it. Gizmodo calls it 'Partly the traditional, inspiring, one man against all odds type of persistence, but more the obsessive, borderline insane persistence.'" Update: 06/02 07:33 GMT by T : And if you're the type to visit Burning Man, you can actually ride a home-made monorail this summer, too.

Botnet Expert Wants 'Special Ops' Security Teams 115

Posted by timothy from the if-wishes-were-horses dept.
CWmike writes "Criminal cybergangs must be harried, hounded and hunted until they're driven out of business, a noted botnet researcher said as he prepared to pitch a new anti-malware strategy at the RSA Conference in SF. 'We need a new approach to fighting cybercrime,' said Joe Stewart, director of SecureWorks' counterthreat unit. 'What we're doing now is not making a significant dent.' He said teams of paid security researchers should set up like a police department's major crimes unit or a military special operations team, perhaps infiltrating the botnet group and employing a spectrum of disruptive tactics. Stewart cited last November's takedown of McColo as one success story. Another is the Conficker Working Group. 'Criminals are operating with the same risk-effort-reward model of legitimate businesses,' said Stewart. 'If we really want to dissuade them, we have to attack all three of those. Only then can we disrupt their business.'"
