A security advisory posted on Bugtraq demonstrates how hackers can compromise customers of T-mobile wireless and Verizon (landline) voicemail boxes. The advisory talks about the use of Caller-ID spoofing the customers number, allowing a bypass of the PIN code since the voicemail thinks that the customer is calling to check their own voicemail. According to Secure Science Corporation, there has been no response from the vendors. Comments have been posted that T-Mobile has optional PIN code protection off by default. Better turn it on.

Bill Gates Claims Open Source Kills Jobs

Bill Gates Claims Open Source Kills Jobs 07/12/2004 07:35 PM
In another futile attempt to sway companies away from Open Source software, Gates proclaims that Open Source software costs jobs. Understand that this is a random statement with no facts or figures to back up his claim, Mr. Gates apparently figures that we will simply take his word for it. Well let’s also consider this, Mr. Gates. There are a number of companies that are not only growing, but also turning a profit utilizing their own branded version of Open Source software. Open does not mean free, it means it is open to be reviewed, revised, and then redistributed as the developer see fit within the constraints of the GPL. Competition is a scary thing, huh, Bill? ;o)

New Senate bill aims at companies making
copyright-infringing tools

New Senate bill aims at companies making
copyright-infringing tools 07/09/2004 12:06 PM

The Inducing of Copyright Infringement Act of 2004, or INDUCE , a recently proposed Senate bill, would enable lawsuits against manufacturers of software which support or invite copyright infringement. The law would combine intellectual property redress with an eye towards punishing solication of minors.

Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) explained his proposal:

it is illegal and immoral to induce or encourage children to commit crimes. Artists realize that adults who corrupt or exploit the innocence of children are the worst type of villains. In Oliver Twist, Fagin and Bill Sikes profited by inducing children to steal. In the film Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang, the leering “Child-Catcher” lured children into danger with false promises of “free lollipops.” Tragically, some corporations now seem to think that they can legally profit by inducing children to steal – that they can legally lure children and others with false promises of “free music.”

Critics argue that the bill undoes the technology protections established by the US Supreme Court in 1984, when it ruled that the VCR, while allowing some infringement, was not entirely a machine of copyright violation and hence could not be sued. Moreover, other INDUCE opponents believe that the law could be applied to a great variety of technology and innovation , including portable music players . Defenders argue that digital networks are qualitatively different from the 1980s VCR, and that peer-to-peer trading, the bill's primary target , is overwhelming about copyright infringement.

Maybe AIDS was intentionally created

Maybe AIDS was intentionally created 05/08/2004 06:46 PM

It is often reported that many Africans believe that AIDS was intentionally created by the CIA or some other American governmental agency with an animus toward black people.  My week in the Amazon jungle among the macaws has raised the idea that perhaps these folks are right.

The fundamental problem facing wildlife worldwide is habitat destruction due to the growth of human population.  Ecologists have figured out that creating a handful of tiny reserves doesn't actually do much to prevent extinction but merely delays the inevitable.  Each tiny reserve functions like a land-bridge island and eventually most of the species go extinct.

Scientists claim that humans contracted HIV from monkeys.  Monkeys in Africa are endangered by a human population that was/is breeding out of control.  Fundamentally the only way for monkeys to save their habitat and therefore themselves is to kill as many humans as possible and prevent the remainder from breeding.  It would be evolutionarily adaptive for a wild animal in Africa to create a deadly virus and pass it to the humans who are destroying his habitat.

Why can't phone companies go straight?

Why can't phone companies go straight? 03/17/2005 03:23 AM

An interesting juxtaposition... from a couple of months ago:

[Bernard Ebbers,] The ousted chief executive of a giant telecommunications company rocked with an accounting scandal told his congregation on Sunday that he was innocent of wrongdoing. Appearing at Easthaven Baptist Church in Brookhaven, Miss., as usual to teach Sunday school and attend the morning worship service, Bernard Ebbers made his first public comments about WorldCom since the disclosure of $3.8 billion in improper accounting last week, The Wall Street Journal reported."I just want you to know you aren�t going to church with a crook,� Ebbers addressed the congregation at the end of the service.

And from today's London Times:

BERNIE EBBERS, the former chief executive of WorldCom, faces the rest of his life in jail after being found guilty of orchestrating the biggest fraud in American corporate history.  ... The jury of seven women and five men found Ebbers guilty on all counts in a Manhattan court.

Why is it that phone companies are always defrauding either customers or investors or both? 

Those Poor Phone Companies

Those Poor Phone Companies 03/14/2005 06:12 PM

Qwest CEO Richard Notebaert, speaking at the Silicon Flatirons conference, used a great quote from former LA Dodgers managerTommy Lasorda: "I've stopped telling people about my problems. 80% of people listening don't care, and the other 20% are glad I'm having problems."

Notebaert's words are ironic, because his predecessor, Joe Nacchio, got into hot water by whining about his company's problems. In an incident that has become infamous, Dan Gillmor blogged in real-time about Nacchio's comments at PC Forum, turning the audience against hostile when people discovered Nacchio was pocketing enormous profits from selling Qwest stock.

Of course, like any good politician, Notebaert followed the Tommy Lasorda quote with a litany of complaints about how phone companies are regulated more than their competitors in the cable industry. Some things never change.

He had one good anecdote about the rate of wireless substitution for wired phone service. Qwest used to have to cancel vacations and schedule additional staff time in Boulder, CO, in early September, in order to handle the influx of University of Colorado students who needed phone service. Today, a huge percentage of those students just use mobile phones for their phone service. Qwest no longer sees a spike in demand when the students come back.

BellSouth Can Force DSL Customers To Buy
Local Phone Service 01/27/2004 10:59 PM
Just a few months after the Georgia Public Utilities Commission told BellSouth that they can't force DSL customers to buy local phone service, a federal court has ruled (in a separate case) that BellSouth isn't violating anti-trust laws by requiring DSL customers to have local phone service. The article doesn't have many details, but it sounds like those who filed the lawsuit did a very bad job explaining their case. The judge simply tossed out the case saying that "the customers lacked legal standing to pursue the lawsuit and failed to state any valid legal claims" against BellSouth. It would be nice if there were more details, because on the face of it, you would think the case would at least get heard. If BellSouth is the only way to get DSL (thus, a monopoly) and they're then forcing customers to buy local phone service (something they don't want), it certainly sounds like an anti-trust violation.

CNet: Tech heavies support challenge to copyright law. But members of the nascent coalition, including Intel, Sun Microsystems, Verizon Communications, SBC, Qwest, Gateway and BellSouth, are lending their support to a proposal by Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va., to rewrite that part of the DMCA. Boucher's bill says that descrambling utilities can be distributed, and copy protection can be circumvented as long as no copyright infringement is taking place.

The headline is a little misleading, because Intel, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Apple are among the notably missing companies from this list. Then again, they've mostly signed on with Hollywood and the music industry to help control what customers of electronic gear are allowed to do with what they've purchased. But the presence of the big regional phone companies is a welcome one. They still have a lot of clout, and they could be a huge boost for legislation that might begin to restore some balance in the copyright debate. Boucher 's bill (H.R. 107) deserves your support, too. Please call your member of Congress.

Local Phone Companies Want To Block
In-Coming Mobile Calls

Local Phone Companies Want To Block
In-Coming Mobile Calls 08/16/2004 05:00 AM
The telephone system works because the owners of various networks agree to accept calls from other networks. What would happen if one network decided not to accept calls from certain other networks? It looks like folks in (or calling into) Iowa may find out at some point. The East Buchanan Telephone Co-op announced plans to block all calls from mobile phones to its customers, but he Iowa Utilities Board issued a two-week injunction to stop them from actually going through with it. Unfortunately, the AP article on the topic is a little short on details, but some good ones are provided over on the Interesting People list which gives some background on interconnect fees. Basically, what appears to be happening here (which is not at all clear from the AP article) is that the Co-Op in question is not satisfied with the interconnect rates they're receiving, and this is more or less a way for them to go on "strike" until the mobile carriers agree to pay up. Of course, you'd have to believe that the mobile carriers are in a much stronger position, having a lot more cash, and (in general) being somewhat less concerned if calls are getting through to certain landlines in Iowa. Meanwhile, the customers of the phone companies in the co-op would immediately blame their own phone company for blocking perfectly reasonable calls, and may even push them towards competing phone companies. It is a way for the Co-Op to make some noise to try to get the much bigger carriers to settle this business dispute, but they're clearly coming from a much weaker position. Of course, it also seems highly unlikely that regulators would actually let these phone companies block calls for very long, as the last thing they want to do is give other small telcos any ideas that might put up all sorts of walled gardens in the phone system. Of course, this wouldn't really be all that different from the VoIP world, where Adelphia and Frontier were recently (purposely or not) blockin g VoIP calls from AT&T.

When 60% Of Your Phone Bill Is From
Unadvertised Fees 09/20/2004 04:56 AM
We've had plenty of stories about phone companies and all of the additional fees they add to your bill, but the Miami Herald has a few examples where the situation clearly goes beyond any reasonable level. Take, for example, a simple plan from BellSouth, advertised at $11.04/month. What they leave is out the extra $16 in fees and taxes (BugMeNot required) that turn the $11 plan into a $27 one. Then, there are companies like Primus which is adding a $15 "low usage" fee for anyone who doesn't make $25 worth of long distance calls per month. The telcos come back with their usual refrain that they somehow "need" to collect this fee "to recoup normal business expenses." That, of course, is a ridiculous statement. Any normal business prices their "normal business expenses" into their advertised prices. This is simply a way for the telcos to advertise lower prices than they're really charging. Perhaps other companies should get into this game as well. Want a pizza pie? It's just $3, but there's a $3.50 "crust fee," a $9.38 "oven fee," a $4.50 "service fee," and a $2.18 "cleanup fee." Plus tax.

I've just--on the advice of Mac-pal Duncan--remapped Exposé to the [fn] key instead of [f9]. This is just the next step in my logical progression towards an Exposé-driven life. I started out a "hider", hiding everything but the active app in an effort to reduce on-screen app clutter. Enter Exposé... I mapped all four screen corners to All Windows Exposé view. My multi-button optical mouse's thumb button does the same. And I've become pretty efficient at reaching across the keyboard to [f9] for action. Moving that to [fn] brings things closer to home (row).

My favourite hint on selecting apps with Exposé is to use the Exposé key or button both to spread app thumbnails across the desktop and to select the one I'm interested in rather than Exposé button > click, Exposé button > click.

The dial-up mountain retreat

The dial-up mountain retreat 02/01/2005 09:15 PM
With the new year comes new changes and challenges, and for me the biggest challenge is a return to a dial-up Internet connection. I've moved to New Hampshire to a wonderful cozy house close to all the wintry goodness I crave: downhill skiing, ice skating, snow shoeing (haven't tried this yet but I'm sure I'll like it), and hilly mountain runs. The setting is idyllic, atop a mountain with our own ski trails (an old rope tow trail runs alongside our driveway, alas no longer operational, requiring one to hike back up after a nice schuss down the slopes) surrounded by tall stands of evergreens and birch trees. The near-daily snow fall has blanketed the landscape in fluffy white, while indoors Bodhi and I enjoy the warmth of the wood-burning stove. And all is peaceful and good, except for the fucking internet connection. A return to dial-up after five years of high-speed access is like forsaking a car for a horse and buggy. It's maddeningly slow and impossible to adapt to when you know you could be getting there faster! Added to that is my ISPs propensity to drop my connection while I'm in the middle of downloading, and I think I may go mad. When contemplating the move, I had grand dreams of spending less time online and spending more reading and connecting with the "real world." But what I've discovered so far is that dial-up doesn't mean I'm online less. It pretty much means I'm not online at all. I just connect to download email (which takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes, twice a day) and then I'm off. I can't really do anything else online while I'm downloading email or it takes even longer to get the mail, and by the time I'm done, I've got some phone call to make or errand to run and off I go. Some people choose to be Luddites, others have Ludditity thrust upon them.
