O/T The internet is broke....

[Brent Wilkerson]

 

Interesting read....

Yahoo: Experts race to fix serious Internet flaw

 

FEAR US IN WISCONSIN....We know the key to end it all!! Just kidding I hope.

 

Start the flame war now....

[biss03]

if he publishes the full details of his findings, isn't that like giving the answers to a test to the students who already are cheating?

Come on ,guys ,the end of the world is not coming .

Vulnerability - it is a good possibility to sell new routers ,upgrade router`s BIOS ,a lot of work for experts ,software patches ,Programs to check this vulnerability and other ways to get money .

It is good thing for many people and bug 2000 was looking eveng more frightful ,do you remember ?

My tail is also very vulnerable

[Brent Wilkerson]

Did virii exist before Anti-Virus apps/companies?

 

Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

 

I thought it was neat the guy is from Milwaukee also. Something possibly for Wi to be remembered by rather then brats, beer and cheese! I'm not a native to Wi but I've been here long enough now to poke fun at the great state!

Brent, I wish that article was a little more technical. I remember in university in my operating systems course we had to analyze the TCP stack and our professor noted a few flaws to us. I wonder if they're the same ones or something entirely different.

 

Wisconsin could also be known for having towns with hard-to-pronounce names (and I'm from Northern Ontario ). I learned the hard way the first time I drove through northern Wisconsin; Menominee (both WI and MI), Peshtigo, Ashwaubenon, Oconto Falls, Wausaukee, St. Nazianz...

 

PS: My inlaws live in Michigan's UP (Crystal Falls) so I know how to pronounce them all now, but it took a few trips

Bulliness,

 

Does this mean you get to poke fun - at da Yoopers, eh ?

[Bullines]

From a Rusty Chevrolet, ya

[Brent Wilkerson]

St. Nazianz is a stone's throw from Manitowoc. When I moved here all the cities names threw me for a loop. I'd watch the news to hear how they pronounced the cities names. Including Manny.

 

Yoopers and FIBs I tell you. I just thought it was just in movies!

 

Bullines....just hop on over to Vancouver, BC and check out CanSecWest...that's where he is going to talk about it. Even though I know it's the other coast....but you know.

 

From his site:

The conference is scheduled for April 21-23 in Vancouver, BC. The paper I will present will examine some specific security problems in the TCP protocol. If you interested in hearing the talk, be sure to attend the conference!

That's a pretty big hop

[Brent Wilkerson]

But to all of us down here Canada is just a big state...that spans the length of the us. Just kidding. I've been to Vancouver back when I was young. We have family in Seattle/Port Orchard, WA.

I love when they publish these "Serious Flaws" whether its for Windows or the internet. The first (and most eager) people to read this stuff is the hackers.

 

So Brent: Where are you from originaly? I'm a transplant from Chicago. I remember when I first called one of my co-workers a cheese head. Then he called me a FIB. We all laughed. Then I asked "what's a FIB". I had never heard that one before. Certianly a lot harsher than Cheese Head.

Slashdot is the best for all your geek news and gossip.

 

I'm a FIB, kinda.... F*ckin Iowa B*st*rd.

I know Iowa = Idiots Out Walking Around. BTW

 

What I don't get is I drink pop not soda and drinking from a drinking fountain not a bubbler.

 

And the sloppy joe / hot tamale thing is another one.

 

We're all in the midwest! We are all the same goofballs!

OMG!!!! ROFL!!!!!!

ROFL!!!!

 

You guys are killing me. I'm dying, people are beginning to look at me funnier than usual.

 

James teh Is soda supposed to come out from da nostrils???

[Brent Wilkerson]

You want to see a good Yooper movie...get "Escanaba in the Moonlight" you'll never talk dar the same again dar ay.

[Bullines]

Seen it. Believe or not, the Yoopers I know find it unfunny. Maybe they don't like to have a laugh at themselves. I also mention the movie Fargo to them as an example of how they "sound". They don't believe that either

[Brent Wilkerson]

It should be: "We're not laughing at you, we're laughing with you."

 

Strange Brew is a good example of all Canadians...right? Just kidding...

 

Have you seen Brother Bear? The moose(s), meeses , are Bob and Doug

[ScottyB]

This thread is hitting to close to home for me to stay away from.

 

We turn in Crystal Falls to go to a friends' cabin on the Paint river. My wife's a yooper. (A pretty one...they're rare.)

 

I've seen Esanaba in the Moonlight...The first half was the funniest I've EVER seen, the second half was BAD.

 

I've been called a cheesehead more times than I can count...I've called others FIBs that many +1.

 

I think we can boast the most serial killers from one state also.

 

No wonder we drink so damn much.

[Brent Wilkerson]

Ed Gein, Jeffery Domer.....who else?

 

The beer to hand ratio is a problem I face all the time. So many beers and only two hands. I'm thinking about getting the booze IV put in after work tonight.

 

Also the state where a top state official gets busted for OWI.

I can function perfectly at 0.2bac, along with all the other Wisconsinians

What do you call a pretty girl in Wisconsin?

 

 

.....A Visitor.

[Brent Wilkerson]

Paul Watson was on ScreenSavers/TechTV talking about it via phone.

[ScottyB]

I've been working here 14 years and my wife has only been in my office once, but if I reply to the "pretty yooper girl" comments like I want to...she'll walk in and read over my shoulder.

 

ScottyB staying away from the thin ice.

 

Brent, We've got to get together. I've been to Manty a lot lately. I'm sure there's a bar that serves my favorite domestic beer there.
