I finally started that project, I have posted an outline and will post the details. Keep
in mind that it may grow into deeper subjects which may or may not bore you. In any case
I will try to cover every mundane detail. Step by step, mistake per mistake! If any of you guys
decide to go through the same ordeal as I have embarked in. I will post the cost list, it's really
not that expensive. Cheers!

Project Oxygen
Yes I do read a lot of science fiction novels and yes maybe I do read in to it too much. But looking into something in another perspective is not so kooky; really I think it’s not! In any case I found this article about a new way of building computers. Not necessarily smaller faster, as the old mantra goes but more friendly and most of all the lower learning curve! Well project Oxygen has a lot of potentials, will it make a mark as another milestone in computing history. Or will it fallow in the footsteps of, what was that idiot box slash computer attached to a TV that every household would want? Obscurity, the dev null of history a footnote that no one remembers! In any case talking about something MIT is doing makes one sound smart! I myself don’t mind sounding like a psuedointellectual. Well enough of me talking read on and BTW, this could be a good topic to talk about in an interview. Well I don’t know, I think it may just make you sound interesting or boring argh! Yes a double-sided dagger. Ok maybe not! Nice read though. Cheers

Project Dolphin is a project established for a small circle of contacts on the
internet, in order to track how many keys were being typed by them. After
finding some rather fortunate publicity on the internet and on television over
the last couple of months, the project has taken on several thousand users and
has grown way past its initial goals. It is now striving to mature to the needs
and requests of a larger user base than had ever been anticipated.
Voice over IP’s “Killer App”LinkIt is often said
that what is missing from the VoIP debate is a “killer app,” one specific
application that enterprises must have, and that will drive them to make the
necessary investments in VoIP. In the last year or so VoIP has moved from a
revolutionary technology to an evolutionary one. Most enterprises now accept
that they will eventually get to VoIP, and many have already made that
commitment for small or new offices where infrastructure requirements are small,
but there don’t seem to be very many, if any, drivers that would cause an
enterprise to embark on a wholesale change from circuit-switched to
packet-switched voice throughout the organization.
Military Computers Easily Cracked, Experts SayLinkWASHINGTON
(Reuters) - Tens of thousands of U.S. military and government computers
containing sensitive information are easily accessible over the Internet, a
computer security firm that cracked the networks said on Friday.

Hacker 101I was browsing tru my bookmark list
(378 links, un categorized!), which funny enough became a trip back in time.
Soon I hear Barb singing "memories in the inodes of my mind..." ahem! Anyways I
found a link that I have not clicked in for a very long time. It was a reminder
to me why I wanted to get into the computer world in the first place, plus it's
real fun. The site name is Try2Hack, it's a progressive test of ones skills.
Well I figure if you can go on the steps you need to know something about
puters. It's a nice sanity test, well for paranoid people like me. Well Try 2
Hack is the beginers step once you finish all the challenges you can go on to
the next set of sites. I have five, the 5th one is the hardest fo course. Have
fun! I did. (I'm going to dig up some of the harder hack challege site, plus I
have to see what level each of them are. Play with this one first!)

Red Hat speeding up, abit! Ok we use to talk about how slow
they move well. A new beta is out for you disecting needs. The project is named
Limbo, and you can Download it as well as other funny named projects from Red
Hat.

Linux Bash EssentialsIt's from
intels website/Here is the orignal link Go
there! Introduction:
Using Linux effectively as a
development environment requires an understanding of Linux*, as well as your
development tools. A UNIX clone, Linux follows the same structure and
philosophy: small, specialized programs that each do one thing well, working
cooperatively to perform complex tasks. A modular structure that permits nearly
endless customization. Even different kernels can be swapped in and out like
building blocks.
Any modern distribution will do the job, and the Linux world
offers myriad choices. The major general-purpose distributions are Red Hat*,
SuSE* (pronounced soo suh), Mandrake*, Debian*, and Caldera*. There are a host
of other distributions for every purpose under the sun, from enterprise-sized to
wee embedded. Boxed sets with manuals are available at any computer store, and
workstation editions cost $29- $79. The frugal can download for free over the
Internet. See the Web site of the Linux distributor of your choice for download
information. In my experience, having a boxed set with printed manuals is a
major headache-preventer.
Let's leap straight into the good stuff, and not
muck about with installation instructions. I have complete confidence in your
ability to install Linux without me hovering over you. One warning: check
hardware compatibility. This is wise for any operating system installation.
Controllerless, or Winmodems, generally do not have Linux drivers. Most PCI
modems are controllerless. External serial port modems have hardware
controllers, and work fine with Linux, as do controller-based PCI modems. USB is
enabled in the 2.4 kernel, but many USB devices do not have Linux drivers. Some
high-end video cards are troublesome, especially bleeding-edge cards designed
for hardcore gamers. Otherwise, any business-quality PC or notebook should be
fine.
Another warning: even on a single-user machine, you must create at
least two user accounts—root and an ordinary user. root is the superuser, the
all-powerful system administrator. It is most unwise to log in as root, except
on rare occasions when it is truly necessary. root can damage system files, and
even experienced users make mistakes and break things. My ordinary user account,
named in a dizzying flight of imagination, is carla.
Create as many user
accounts as you like. It is nice to have a "sandbox" user account for
experimentation and testing. Linux is a true multi-user system—multiple users
can be logged in at the same time. Express all of your
personalities.

Is Bill Gates this cooky? Ok maybe this guy is
assuming allot, but it's not to far fetch! I'm sure they will attempt it. But as
far as Nixes being out of biz, bah. If SCTP gets underway, it will prolly be
Linux all the way! But brace for the moron crew! Just my $ 0.2. Jesse Oh yeah
check out the RFC watch on the left side a new protocol to add or replace TCP /

By Robert X. Cringely
Just
over three years ago I wrote a column titled "Cooking the Books: How Clever
Accounting Techniques are Used to Make Internet Millionaires." It explained how
telecom companies were using accounting tricks to create revenue where there
really was none. Take another look at the column (it's among the links on the "I
Like It" page), and think of Worldcom with its recently revealed $3.7 billion in
hidden expenses. Then last August, I wrote a column titled "The Death of TCP/IP:
Why the Age of Internet Innocence is Over." Take a look at that column, too, and
think about Microsoft's just-revealed project called Palladium.
The end is
near.
Sometimes I'd rather be wrong, but it's a no-brainer to guess that
accountancy, which has apparently become something of an art form or
interpretive dance, could have a dark side. And you'll never lose money betting
for Microsoft and against Microsoft's competitors and customers.
Let's concentrate on the Microsoft story. Last August, I wrote of a rumor
that Microsoft wanted to replace TCP/IP with a proprietary protocol -- a
protocol owned by Microsoft -- that it would tout as being more secure.
Actually, the new protocol would likely be TCP/IP with some of the reserved
fields used as pointers to proprietary extensions, quite similar to Vines IP, if
you remember that product from Banyan Systems. I called it TCP/MS in the column.
How do you push for the acceptance of such a protocol? First, make the old one
unworkable by placing millions of exploitable TCP/IP stacks out on the Net,
ready-to-use by any teenage sociopath. When the Net slows or crashes, the blame
would not be assigned to Microsoft. Then ship the new protocol with every new
copy of Windows, and install it with every Windows Update over the Internet.
Zero to 100 million copies could happen in less than a year.
This week, Microsoft announced Palladium through an exclusive story in
Newsweek written by Steven Levy, who ought to have known better. Palladium is
the code name for a Microsoft project to make all Internet communication safer
by essentially pasting a digital certificate on every application, message,
byte, and machine on the Net, then encrypting the data EVEN INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER
PROCESSOR. Palladium compatible hardware (presumably chipsets and motherboards)
will come from both AMD and Intel, and the software will, of course, come from
Microsoft. That software is what I had dubbed TCP/MS.
