Awesome!

What is this? Spell with Flickr is a small program that lets you type in whatever you want, then goes to flickr and grabs pictures for each an every letter! It also allows you to change the images that you see, so you can find better images for your word or phrase!

A nice read! :)

When that high-profile project just ain't gonna happen, how can you ensure that your head isn't on the chopping block? Matt Heusser provides some practical suggestions for passing on the bad news without just passing the blame.

Best E-mail Client / Re: How I set up my mail folders
« Last post by Mark0 on January 15, 2006, 12:07 PM »
I too wasn't happy with any webmail service; they weren't simply non-comparable to a good email client and local message storage. But, for me, Gmail changed that.

Anyone out there remember OCCAM ?
Present! :) The language for writing parallel code for the Inmos Transputer, right?
That remind me of a oh-so-cool! networking system for the Amiga, made trough the hispeed serial links of a Transputer: AdPNetwork, IIRC.

I find a bit disappointing the choice of the Antivirus package.
But maybe it's just me... I really don't like NAV.

Well, if we are all going to talk about Linux-based and OpenBSD-based firewalls then I guess I'll mention m0n0wall. A lot of people swear by it though I have never used it.

I setup a machine with m0n0wall just today at my office:



I have to say that it's really great. It's feature packed, the HTTP GUI is very practical to use, and is very fast to setup. Just get an old PC, two spare NIC, a floppy driver and it's up & running in minutes.

Link: m0n0wall



Feature list:

    * web interface (supports SSL)
    * serial console interface for recovery
          o set LAN IP address
          o reset password
          o restore factory defaults
          o reboot system
    * wireless support (access point with PRISM-II/2.5/3 cards, BSS/IBSS with other cards including Cisco)
    * captive portal
    * 802.1Q VLAN support
    * stateful packet filtering
          o block/pass rules
          o logging
    * NAT/PAT (including 1:1)
    * DHCP client, PPPoE, PPTP and Telstra BigPond Cable support on the WAN interface
    * IPsec VPN tunnels (IKE; with support for hardware crypto cards, mobile clients and certificates)
    * PPTP VPN (with RADIUS server support)
    * static routes
    * DHCP server and relay
    * caching DNS forwarder
    * DynDNS client and RFC 2136 DNS updater
    * SNMP agent
    * traffic shaper
    * SVG-based traffic grapher
    * firmware upgrade through the web browser
    * Wake on LAN client
    * configuration backup/restore
    * host/network aliases

Bye!

I installed the fix from the IDA guy (totally counting on his "fame" :D ) some days ago on various PC, and from my experience it worked and haven't negatively affected nothing. Since Microsoft is taking too much time to patch this (as usual), I think it's highly recommended to apply this patch.

One of the nasty thing with this kind of exploit, is that you don't even need to open/view the file if, for example, you are running Google Desktop. When Google crawler hit the file, it will try to render it himself to get a proper thumbnail!

It seems that Sony appears more stupid every day:

As seen on Digg: CNET News.com - New Sony CD security risk found
The danger is associated with copy-protection software included on some Sony discs created by a company called SunnComm Technologies. The vulnerability could allow malicious programmers to gain control of computers that have run the software, which is typically installed automatically when a disc is put in a computer's CD drive.
Note that this issue affect others CD than those involved in the last stories!

I have to say that  I haven't Screenshot Captor here at the moment, so I'm not able to check if there's already something like this. But, as I have just seen this effect on a shot around, I just want to let you know:

On a side note, one may give a try to this: Leakout
It's something I coded a long time ago, that try to phone home and send some data (name of the PC, user name & Win system dir) to a page of mine.

It do it in the most stupid and non-smart way; but in many case is enough to pass trough a personal firewall with per-application control, without any warning.

I probably have a different point of view on the Firewall thing.
I had happily dumped every personal firewall software from my PC from when I had installed a simple NAT router + switch + firewall + ADSL combo. So much for intrusion from the external. No additional software loaded, no slowing down, etc.

As for the traffic from the PC to the outside, I simply think that the outbound per-application control is a lost cause; there are so many ways to circumvent this or that firewall controls that it's not worth the hassle, IMHO.

In addition, if you have a malicious software running that's trying to "phone home", you are already in bad waters.

Even better:

Sony Caught Using "Fake" Graffiti to Promote PSP

Reports on the interwebs indicate that Sony or its ad agency has paid graffiti artists to spray paint images of little kids playing with PSPs in at least five U.S. cities: Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Real graffiti artists reacted "fixing" the drawings:

Never mind. Got confirmation that they (the hosting company) forced some timeouts as a temporary mean to prevent some strange memory / resources leaking.

Found the Terminal Service settings on the System Admin menu.
But as per the timeouts & settings listed, there shouldn't be any disconnection.
