t Corey: Credit Card Scam of the Day: Interest Rate Reduction

nospam@example.com (t Corey) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:48:56 -0600

Just got the same call twice in one day. First time I hung up the second time I pressed 9 to see what the offer was.

The opperator tried to lead me to give my CC #, but I continued to press him with questions like Who do you work for and What company do you represent. He hung up on me when I asked if I could get the same results by calling my CC company customer service.

Just keep asking questions they will hang up sooner than later.

Mike: MySQL's Post-Oracle Future

nospam@example.com (Mike) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 05:33:20 -0600

Such a shame to see a great product like MySQL start sliding down the slippery slope of Oracle profit-glut. Our organisation has been a major backer of MySQL but is now in the process of moving 34 core MySQL databases onto PostgreSQL. A major project but there is absolutely no doubt that MySQL has no future with big red.

Alan: How to: Ubuntu PHP Remove Suhosin

nospam@example.com (Alan) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:26:10 -0500

Indeed, there are now reasonable instructions available that make it possible to disable the more odious features of Suhosin and keep nice things like buffer overflow checking.

I recommend that people use this approach rather than remove the package altogether.

Still, my objection to these sorts of tools is not only the false positives, but the false sense of security they generate. Many a site owner thinks they're 100% protected because they have some array of tools and filters configured. Armed with this illusion, they feel comfortable in ignoring vulnerability reports and critical upgrades, and then are upset when their sites get hacked.

Noneroy: How to: Ubuntu PHP Remove Suhosin

nospam@example.com (Noneroy) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:00:26 -0500

I think this is a great tip. In fact, I'm using it now because I'm setting up an intentionally insecure site for demonstration purposes.

While Suhosin certainly can 'break shit', I'd argue that it's better to learn to work around it than to remove it all together. But that's me, a security guy. Using PHP is playing with a loaded weapon if you are not very very careful. If you ('you' not being the author but the reader) do remove Suhosin, please, for the love of god, do some pen testing on your site and make sure you look for flaws. Otherwise you'll be owned very quickly when that trouble could have been avoided.

W3AF would serve as a great 'sanity' check for developers who go it alone (or anyone else).

All the best.

Ed: Don't Trust Salesforce.com (Revised)

nospam@example.com (Ed) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:11:12 -0500

SF.com is junk. never mind this email stuff - try using it. it is one of the worst pieces of online software every. Their interface is pitiful - they havent changed a thing since the early 2000s. their report generator is super inflexible, and any time you customize anything - the system begans to cumbersome and the UI super congested.

There is clearly a lack of talent in this company. it must have all left when going public.

I just wanted to greet to everyone as I spam. I look forward to speaking with the forum. As for me, I was seriously ripped off by the spamming bastards at http://www.bocapersonalinjuryattorney.org - easily the worst personal injury attorneys in boca raton and would be willing to assist any locals out in finding an ethical alternative to these ambulance chasers.

Sounds like the software should just do it if "htis" is not a word but "this" is a word found in the dictionary.

[Ed. Note: Most spell checkers have that sort of thing built in, although they sometimes don't get it right. But that doesn't help with things like programming tools where there is no effective dictionary. For example, there's no way to know that SomeVraible should be SomeVariable.]

MM: Credit Card Scam of the Day: Interest Rate Reduction

nospam@example.com (MM) — Thu, 14 May 2009 20:00:31 -0500

I received a call today from a black female claiming to be from Credit Card Services. They supposedly deal with all visa & mastercard credit cards & can lower interest rates as long as you have $6,000 debt. When she asked for the name of my bank of my credit card, I asked for her phone number or to mail me the information. She put the phone down & I could hear her trying to scam someone else, then she hung up on me. This was the 2nd time they called me. Next time, I'll give them false information. Too bad I'm unable to trace the call.
A long time ago I was asked questions for which I responded "YES" to then I received a bill for something I had no knowledge of & when I called I was told that I agreed and they had a recording of my voice saying "yes" twice as proof. I argued with the scammers & it was dropped. I always avoid saying the word, "YES".

This has been driving me nuts. I was already in the process of the re-compile sans suhosin looking for an already compile .deb. I'm doing this for 9.04/64, but the problem is the typical 52 packages with dependencies, and then Ubuntu upgrades and, ....

April : MySQL's Post-Oracle Future

nospam@example.com (April ) — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:59:21 -0500

Great post.
You don't have to be a genius to see that Oracle isn't going to be a great booster of MySQL. What do they have to gain from it?
The supported MySQL version gave enterprises a way to use MySQL with enterprise class support. If I were an enterprise trying to make a database decision today and I needed support, the Oracle acquisition would certainly give me pause.
Hopefully we will see another company step in and fill the void sooner rather than later.

MySQL reinforces Oracle's global brand immensly. They've now got two of the worlds biggest repositories of data in their stable, which is huge when you're trying to win the backend repository market.
