Linux - the desktop for the rest of them

The drunkenbatman has blogged a rhapsody on desktop apps development .

Maybe Linux will be the desktop for the rest of them. That still leaves room for up to 10% MacOSX market share - which is more than will ever be good for Apple. If Apple's market share ever gets above 10% then they are not thinking different enough!

Big Bang

If time is the fourth dimension then that neutralizes or stretches the other three and you are left with nothing or everything - depending on the perspective - which certainly would explain it all :-)

Leaky Hop Objects

Jetzt weiss ich wie es kam, dass Hop Objects Leck geschlagen haben. Aber zum Glück lerne ich von Hannes das als Leaky Abstraction zu interpretieren, was ja dann doch wieder sehr kompatibel mit Mocha ist.

Return Path Rewriting (RPR) - Mail Forwarding in the Spam Age

While digging through the net for info morsels on SPF and SRS I found Daniel Röthlisberger - or his site, to be more exact. He's offering yet another alternative approach to implementing a mail forwarding SPF work-around.

Microsoft Discloses Huge Number Of Windows Vulnerabilties

TechWeb reports:

April's mega collection includes 20 new vulnerabilities, 8 of which are rated as “Critical,” the most dire assessment in the Redmond, Wash.-based developer's four-level ranking system. Sixteen of the 20 vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely, the most dangerous type of bug because hackers can conduct an attack over the Internet.(...)

MS04-011, which includes 14 new vulnerabilities, affects every version of Windows to one degree or another, and if exploited, could allow attackers remote access to a PC. The most serious of the bugs affect Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003.(...)

Also in MS04-011's mega-collection of Windows bugs is one that involves SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (...) “X-Force believes that hackers will aggressively target this vulnerability given the high-value nature of Web sites protected by SSL.”(...)

[The second] security update includes four new vulnerabilities in the RPC/DCOM components of Windows (...) “The RPC/DCOM Runtime vulnerability should be of special concern to all users,” said Gullotto. “There's great potential for another worm that exploits this.” (...)

Microsoft's third bulletin of the day involves Outlook Express (OE) (...) An attacker who builds malicious URLs could run HTML code in the Local Security zone of Internet Explorer, possibly resulting in a takeover of the system.(...)

In related news PC Pro reports:

OS X virus warning criticised, no threat exists

A security company that warned of the first 'trojan horse-style virus for Mac OS X has been criticised by developers and security experts for raising an unnecessary false alarm. (...)

Intego first warned of the potential security threat last week. (...) Intego fails to mention that there are as yet no instances of this in the wild, meaning no computers have been infected. (...)

Security experts criticised Intego for making an issue of the potential vulnerability: 'They gave the impression that this is a threat, but it isn't,' Dave Schroeder, a systems engineer with the University of Wisconsin, told Wired.com. 'It is a benign proof of concept that was posted to a newsgroup. It isn't in the wild, and can't be spread in the wild. It's a non-issue.' (...)

Steuerungsabgabe statt Steuern

Gestern Abend haben wir wieder einmal eine kleine Weltverbesserungsdiskussion geführt und dabei das Encourage the Good - Discourage the Bad Prinzip andiskutiert. Nachher habe ich mir noch so meine Überlegungen gemacht und habe die Terminologie etwas angepasst... Das Wort Steuerungsabgabe scheint mir im Moment als sinnvoller Begriff zu dienen, um zugleich den Unterschied wie auch die Redundanz von "Lenkungsabgaben" und "Steuern" zu unterstreichen.

Interessanterweise findet Google unter dem Begriff Steuerungsabgabe kaum etwas - im wesentlichen nur ein Dokument zum Thema "Welthandelsrecht und Umweltschutz" und eines zu Silvio Gesell :-)
