quote: Indoctrinatie? MicroSoft is een software bedrijf, geen geloofsovertuiging. Hoe had je precies gedacht dat de kinderen die op die school les krijgen geindoctrineerd worden? Dat ze allemaal Windows gaan gebruiken? Mogelijkheid A) Het zijn mensen die een verdere opleiding gaan doen die niets te maken heeft met computers, en zullen als OS toch wel Windows nemem omdat het gewoon het beste is voor Personal Use. Mogelijheid ![]() Dikke bullshit dus imo. EDIT: "Merken op scholen is eng omdat het simpelweg een vleeswording van het begrip indoctrinatie is." Op de UT staan toch echt wel 5 COCA COLA automaten per gebouw. En we hebben ook een prachtige INTEL ROOM met snelle computers gesponsord door INTEL wat heel nuttig is voor mensen die bezig zijn met graphisch zware programma's. Dat is zeker ook allemaal heel erg verwerpelijk? Grapjas. [Dit bericht is gewijzigd door JFrost op 05-09-2003 16:38] this user is dead ![]() |

IBM accused of poisoning workers By John Leyden Posted: 05/09/2003 at 17:45 GMT IBM has been accused of running an unsafe workplace which resulted in an unnaturally high incidence of disease among its workers in a series of recent filed, hotly contested lawsuits filed in the US. Almost 200 former and current employees (or their families) are parties to the suits, which allege that the computing giant did nothing to safeguard the safety of workers handling chemicals known to be hazardous to people since the mid-1980s, until ten years later - well into the 90s. In that ten-year period, IBM workers were subject to various forms of cancer or their children were born with birth defects at a higher frequency than the general population, the lawsuits allege. The allegedly dangerous chemicals IBM workers were exposed to were used in semiconductor and disk drive manufacturing in its East Fishkill plant and in other manufacturing facilities across the US. Companies that supplied chemicals to IBM are also named as defendants in the suits. IBM denies the claims, which it says are without scientific foundation. Bron ![]() ![]() |

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ID theft hits 10m Americans a year By John Leyden Posted: 05/09/2003 at 16:13 GMT A staggering 27.3 million Americans have been victims of identity theft in the last five years, according to Federal Trade Commission survey out this week. In the last year alone, 9.9 million people have had their identity purloined. Identity theft cost businesses and financial institutions nearly $48 billion and consumer victims reported $5 billion in out-of-pocket expenses last year, according to the FTC. "Identity theft is affecting millions of consumers and costing billions of dollars," said Howard Beales, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "This information can serve to galvanize federal, state, and local law enforcers, the business community, and consumers to work together to combat this menace." The survey was released in the wake of the formation of an industry coalition to fight online identity theft (involving leading financial services, IT and e-commerce companies) earlier this week. Microsoft Corp, eBay, Amazon.com and Visa are among founder members of the Coalition on Online Identity Theft. Since 1998, the FTC has had an Identity Theft Program to assist victims. The organisation provides law enforcement training, maintains a nationwide database of ID theft complaints available to law enforcement and refers complaints to criminal law enforcement agencies. The FTC also maintains an identity theft web site. A number of laws limit liability for consumer victims of identity theft. Not all costs are covered, however. The survey reviewed the different impact on victims who had existing accounts misused and those victims where the thieves opened new accounts in their names. Where the thieves opened new accounts, the per-victim dollar loss to both businesses and victims was higher and the time spent resolving the problems was greater. For all forms of identity theft, the loss to business was $4,800 and the loss to consumers was $500, on average. While most identity thieves use consumer personal information to make purchases, the survey reports that 15 per cent of all victims - almost 1.5 million people in the last year - reported that their personal information was misused in non-financial ways, to obtain government documents, for example, or on tax forms. The most common non-financial misuse took place when the thief used the victim's name and identifying information when stopped by law enforcement or caught committing a crime. Sixty-seven per cent of identity theft victims - more than 6.5 million victims in the last year - report that existing credit card accounts were misused and 19 per cent reported that checking or savings accounts were misused. The survey reports that 51 per cent of the victims - about 5 million victims - say they know how their personal information was obtained. Nearly one quarter of all victims - roughly 2.5 million people in the last year - said their information was lost or stolen, including lost or stolen credit cards, cheque books or social security cards. Stolen mail was the source of information for identity thieves in 4 percent of all victims - 400,000 in the last year. Bron: The Register ![]() |

quote:ISC to Cut Off Site Finder VeriSign's controversial "typo-squatting" Site Finder service is about to be bypassed by an emergency software patch to many of the Internet's backbone computers. The Internet Software Consortium, a nonprofit that publishes BIND, the software that runs many of the Net's domain name servers, is about to release an emergency patch to block VeriSign's new Site Finder service. VeriSign's Site Finder, launched on Monday, has drawn heated criticism for hijacking mistyped Web addresses. Instead of getting an error message, Web surfers who mistype ".com" and ".net" Web addresses are redirected to the Site Finder service, which then offers a list of likely alternatives, some of which are paid-placement links. Critics complain the new service gives VeriSign too much control over online traffic and allows it to profit from an essential monopoly over ".com" and ".net" names. VeriSign is charged by the U.S. government with running the ".com" and ".net" domains, and directs much of the traffic on the Internet. However, the ISC is about to undercut the Site Finder service with a patch to its BIND software. BIND runs on about 80 percent of the Internet's domain name servers -- the machines that translate human-readable Web addresses like www.wired.com into machine-readable Internet addresses used by the Internet's vast network of computers. The patch will be released by the end of Tuesday, said Paul Vixie, ISC's president. "The phone has been ringing off the hook with deeply unhappy customers," he said. "We don't have a political ax to grind. Whether VeriSign should or should not have done this is not for us to decide. But we have to respond to our customers who are demanding it." Vixie said that ISC's customers -- typically ISPs and large enterprises -- needed a fix because VeriSign's Site Finder broke their spam filters. Vixie said a lot of spam spoofs the "from" domain, and that many ISP-level spam filters check whether incoming e-mail is from a valid domain or not. Instead of generating errors, the spam filter checks are instead being rerouted to the Site Finder service, and therefore appear to originate from a legitimate domain. Vixie said the ISC's customers aren't too concerned with advertising. "They don't want to help spammers. It's the lack of a viable spam-detection mechanism they're worried about. They are concerned about spam, not advertising," Vixie said. VeriSign did not respond requests for comment. Bron: Wired News I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant. ![]() |

Nearing a Tax-Free Internet Posted by malebolgia on 18 Sep 2003 - 07:39 | 4 comments Connections to the Internet would remain tax-free under a bill the House passed Wednesday. The legislation, passed with bipartisan support, makes permanent a ban on taxing Internet connections. A temporary ban on the taxes, first enacted in 1998, runs out on Nov. 1. New language clarifies that all types of Internet access — ranging from dial-up connections and high-speed DSL to cable modems — cannot be taxed. "This bill would broaden access to the Internet, expand consumer choice, promote certainty and growth in the IT (information technology) sector of our economy and encourage the deployment of broadband services at lower prices," said Rep. Chris Cannon, a Utah Republican. Rep. Christopher Cox (R-California) described the original moratorium as "something of an experiment" and declared it a success. Keeping Internet access tax-free will give more people access, he said. "It's just a little bit too expensive for a lot of people," Cox said. "A nick here, and a little bit of nickels and dimes here, would add up to a serious amount of taxation for most people." The nine states who impose a communications tax on Internet connections stand to lose $80 million to $120 million a year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Several Texas Democrats opposed the bill, including Rep. Gene Green, who said Texas would lose $45 million a year in tax revenue. "I don't need to remind my colleagues of the fiscal crisis that our states are currently finding ourselves in, including the state of Texas," Green said. News source: Wired ![]() |

Intel presses the 'instant-on' PC switch, again Posted by malebolgia on 18 Sep 2003 - 00:47 | 27 comments One of the salient differences between computer electronics devices and computers is that when you press theon-button on the former, they (usually) switch on and work, whereas the computer's on-button generally functions as some kind of Pavlovian signal for you to go and get your morning coffee. This however is set to change (hoorah!) "in the next few years" (booh!), Intel VP Louis Burns told the Intel Developer Forum yesterday. Burns (a name, surely, resonating of an early career in the heatsink testing department) "previewed an instant on/off technology," (it says here), "allowing consumers to press the 'on' button and the PC is ready in a few seconds." In addition: "If the PC loses power, this technology quickly recovers without losing data or rebooting the PC under normal operation." Magic? Well, history tells us it'll probably have to be, given the level of success exhibited by previous heroic efforts by Wintel in this field. For more years than we care to remember (which is handy for the spnimeisters) Intel has been rolling out a baffling series of overlapping initiatives in the areas of power management and suspend and resume, while its old friends in Redmond have been lobbing in their own versions, often related, always confusing if you already thought you knew what was going on (but had forgotten by the time you got back with the coffee). Names like "instant-on", "always-on", "OnNow" mean anything to you? Nope, nor us, but we think we once knew what we thought they were, and words like "in a few seconds" are very familiar to us indeed. News source: The Register ![]() |

18/09 Australië wil 'spam' loodzwaar beboeten In het Australische parlement is donderdag een wetsontwerp ingediend dat meer dan één miljoen Australische dollar (bijna 600.000 euro) boete per dag wil opleggen aan organisaties die 'spam' (ongewenste reclame) via e-mail verspreiden, zo is van het ministerie van Communicatie vernomen. Het wetsontwerp heeft de steun van de meeste partijen en zal wellicht moeiteloos goedgekeurd worden. De wet betreft enkel spam uit Australië, maar Rob Edwards, hoofd van de Australische beroepsvereniging van 'direct marketing', hoopt dat het Australische initiatief zal helpen bij de invoering van een internationaal sanctiesysteem. Volgens Edwards zijn de boetes nodig om het vertrouwen in de handel via het internet te herstellen. "Spam vormt de helft van de e-mails en als we er niets tegen doen, zullen dergelijke boodschappen het internet overspoelen", aldus de Australische minister van Communicatie Richard Alston. ![]() |

Het mooie van het internet is dat je makkelijk een server in het buitenland kan gebruiken, een land waar de australische wetgeving niet van kracht is. Goede spamfilter is (tot nu toe) de enige oplossing. Niet klikken -> http://www.playsomeguitar.com/drugs/brain.html ![]() |
