[IT怀古] 想起了USRobotics
提交者 : hUFEY 于 北京时间 2004-09-24 13:33:58
昨天看了动作科幻娱乐大片I, Robot.
作为标准的娱乐片，还是很精彩地。
不过我看到片子里面那个有些邪恶的USR公司，却想起了
另一家公司：USRobotis。
不知还有多少人记得这家公司。当年，Internet刚在国内
兴起的时候，大家都认Hayes的Modem–对不起，Hayes
公司也倒闭很久了。那时候，一只台湾产的杂牌猫卖五百
元人民币，而hayes的猫可以卖到1200元。而USRobotics
的猫却可以卖到1800元，是高端中的高端。
电影里的USR，很明显是US Robot的意思，美国机器人公司嘛，
大概地位比现在的微软还要高的多：他的CEO是那时的世界首富；
世界上5个人里就拥有她们的一个机器人产品；她们的产品甚至
在军队和人造器官中被广泛使用；他们的CEO也能轻易影响政治
决策。
现实中的US Robotics公司呢，USRobotics曾经做了一笔好
买卖，就是收购了Palm。他96年的财政收入达到20个亿，
97年被3Com收购，如果不是Palm，估计3Com根本没性趣收购他。
而3Com收购完马上就把Palm拆分了出去。USRobotics卖完
Modem基本就没影了，3Com现在好像活的也不好。而Palm
先是分出来Handspring，过几年又收了回去，再拆分成PalmOne
和PalmSource，真是穷折腾。

mini ipod应该用的就是这个吧

Movable Type Spam Vulnerability
11.26.2003
The “Email this to a friend” functionality in the mt-send-entry.cgi script is vulnerable to being used by spammers to send spam messages. In principle, all “email this to a friend” programs are vulnerable to being used by spammers, because they allow the user to specify a To: address and a message body. But in practice, MT’s implementation of this is not as robust as it should be, and a new version is available below.
This fix is already included in all versions of MT 2.64 downloaded from today on.
If you’re not using this functionality at all, we recommend that you simply remove mt-send-entry.cgi from your MT directory. MT doesn’t have any hooks to use this script by default anyway, so you won’t be breaking your MT installation.
If you are using this functionality on your MT weblog, you should download this package with a new version of mt-send-entry.cgi, unzip it, and replace the version of mt-send-entry.cgi on your server. The new version:
* fixes a vulnerability that allows spammers to inject extra headers into messages;
* removes the ability to send the message to multiple recipients;
* restricts the message to 250 characters.
All of these fixes serve to discourage the script being used by spammers.

不明白为啥gaim从0.82跳到1.0的理由
就像不明白j2se 要从1.4.2跳到5.0一样
给老notebook卸下了FC2装上了RH9
因为KINGMAX 10M的PCMCIA卡FC2不支持而RH9却恰恰支持
真是FAINT
当然，自己也需要一个以2.4x kernel 为基础的机器
装上了RH9马上装个yum，这样就可以yum install mplayer乐
可是mozilla居然还是1.4.2
J2SE装还是不装？装1.4.2还是等5.0 Release ?
