    Monday Joke

    haha then he would have just said, take it away from all of them :bahaha:
  3. hmm maybe I should download the form soon
  4. I've said this over and over. The only way to stop so many young drivers from causing accidents is EDUCATION!!! put them through driver training as a pre-req for getting ur P's. put them through all conditions in a closed environment (i.e. skidpan) to learn how the car responds to different conditions.. The only way to stop these accidents is making sure that when things go pear shaped, these people know how to respond and avoid fatality. to me a power restriction wont be as effective as you'll still lose a Toyota Echo in the wet if u dont know how to handle the car...
  5. :bahaha: :bahaha:

  7. A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. They then get to meet their maker, and because of the grief they have experienced; he decides to grant them one wish each, before they enter paradise. They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what the wish is. "I want to be gorgeous," and so God snaps His fingers, and it is done. The second one in line hears this and says "I want to be gorgeous too." Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted. This goes on for a while but when God is halfway down the line, the last guy in line starts laughing. When there are only ten people left, this guy is rolling on the floor, laughing his ass off. Finally, God reaches this guy and asks him what his wish will be. The guy calms down and says:" Make 'em all ugly again."

  20. the point for me though is that they offered a patch/solution to the problem before it was exploited.
  21. B-Man, yes there was a vulnerability in the windows operating system. However the the vulnerability was hacked by someone who decided to exploit it to send a worm around the net. Now had this person not intentionally created a program to exploit this vulnerability then everything would be fine. I don't believe Microsoft are to be held accountable for what happened. It happened because some idiot decided to be a prick. The only person responsible for shit network performance due to packet loss is the person who wrote this worm. I have also recently been made aware that Microsoft did have a patch available to cure this vulnerablility (although I am reserving my judgement on the accuracy of this info). So therefore in my mind they found a problem and supplied a solution to it. I'll bet money on the fact that not 1 person I took a call from about this issue applied that patch.
  22. /plays world's smallest Violin for Ben I took 111 in 1 day with that shit...... yeh we had a day when it was slow as, the connect, optus and paradox networks were experiencing shocking packet loss, at one stage paradox got upto 89% packet loss, connect upto 54% and optus in the 50's as well... was ridiculous
  23. I don't know how many may know this but this is a bit of an interesting twist to the whole thing... or maybe I've just been living under a rock for the last week.... haha New variant of Blaster worm 'fixes' infected systems Blast.D patches security hole Story by Paul Roberts AUGUST 18, 2003 ( IDG NEWS SERVICE ) - Microsoft Corp. Windows users whose systems were infected last week by the W32.Blaster worm might appreciate the attention of a new version of that worm that cleans corrupted systems and then installs a software patch to prevent future infections. The worm, variously referred to as Worm_MSBLAST.D and Nachi, appeared today and spreads by exploiting the same Windows security hole as the original Blaster worm, according to advisories published by leading antivirus companies. Antivirus companies disagreed on whether the new worm was a version of the original Blaster or a new worm type. Some, like Trend Micro Inc., consider it a Blaster variant, naming it Worm_MSBLAST.D. Others, declaring the worm a new type, named it W32.Nachi-A. One thing is certain: Unlike the original Blaster worm, Blaster-D/Nachi is more concerned with fixing systems than exploiting their weaknesses. After infecting vulnerable Windows 2000 or Window XP machines, the new worm searches for and removes the Blaster worm file, Msblast.exe, and attempts to download and install a Windows software patch from Microsoft that closes the security hole used by the worm, according to antivirus companies. The new worm hides behind a different file name from the Blaster worm, Dllhost.exe, which allows it to bypass antivirus software configured to detect and stop Blaster, according to Ian Hameroff, security strategist at Computer Associates International Inc. While they disagree about the new worm's name, antivirus companies spoke as one in telling users to remove Blaster-D/Nachi. "Anything that does something without the end user's approval or even knowledge is not good," Hameroff said. "It's like having a seasoned criminal break into your house and then, if he succeeds, install an alarm system." Blaster-D/Nachi doesn't distinguish between infected and healthy systems, either. Instead, the worm spreads like Blaster by identifying unpatched Windows 2000 and XP systems, then infecting them, according to Hameroff. Traffic from infected systems can also clog up computer networks and create denial-of-service problems on computer networks if many infected computers attempt to download the Microsoft Windows patch at the same time, according to David Perry, global director of education at Trend Micro Inc., which has North American headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. However, for patched systems and machines that were not infected by Blaster, Blaster-D/Nachi is programmed to remove itself after a set amount of time passes, Hameroff said. CA is still analyzing the new worm and could not provide details or say how long Nachi will stay on systems before removing itself, he said. There is no evidence that the worm installs Trojan horse programs or other kinds of snooping "spyware" on infected systems, Perry said. Islandia, N.Y.-based Computer Associates rated Blaster-D/Nachi a "medium" threat, indicating only a few reports from CA's customers. However, Trend Micro said the new worm is spreading rapidly in China and South Korea, prompting that company to issue a "red alert" to its customers in Asia, Perry said. While the worm may ultimately benefit the Internet community by patching some of the loosely managed computer systems that are breeding grounds for viruses, organizations and individuals should not rely on Blaster-D/Nachi to take care of their patching problem, security experts agreed. Do-gooder worms are no substitute for timely and responsible patching by systems administrators, experts said. "It's not the same as having the end user apply the appropriate patches as they're going along," Hameroff said. "This [worm] isn't the ointment you apply to rid yourself of your wounds."
  24. cool thanks for the info boys
