Hackerparadies Naher Osten
Noch fehlen meist die Gesetze und die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen sind gering
Im Internetzeitalter setzen immer mehr Menschen den Computer ein, um ihrer Meinung Luft zu machen. Ob der Absturz des US-amerikanischen Spionageflugzeugs über China, das Bombardement in Afghanistan, die Invasion des Irak oder der Palästina-Konflikt, globale politische Ereignisse sind Anlass sich "direkt" und "persönlich" einzumischen. Man schickt Viren in die virtuelle Welt, protestiert mit DoS-Angriffen, hackt und crackt die Computer vermeintlicher Gegner. Gelegentlich wird dabei auch schon einmal das politische mit dem persönlichen finanziellen Interesse kombiniert.

The Story of the PING Program
Yes, it's true! I'm the author of ping for UNIX. Ping is a little thousand-line hack that I wrote in an evening which practically everyone seems to know about. :-)
I named it after the sound that a sonar makes, inspired by the whole principle of echo-location. In college I'd done a lot of modeling of sonar and radar systems, so the "Cyberspace" analogy seemed very apt. It's exactly the same paradigm applied to a new problem domain: ping uses timed IP/ICMP ECHO_REQUEST and ECHO_REPLY packets to probe the "distance" to the target machine.

55 Operating Systems On A PowerBook
I run a large number of operating systems on my PowerBook 17, both because I am fascinated by operating systems and environments, and also because a lot of my professional work is and has been in this area (in other words, I legitimately need to run quite a few of these systems). It is helpful to think of the setup as an "iPod of Operating Systems" - I use a portable external FireWire drive that contains all the systems.

BitTorrent and RSS Create Disruptive Revolution
XML syndication and peer-to-peer meet to extend the power and efficiency of web-based information distribution.
Disruptive technologies are born for all sorts of reasons–good ideas, market pressure, economic opportunity, and sometimes just plain luck. Many of today's disruptive leaders only emerged when combined with other seemingly unrelated inventions. WiFi and broadband (DSL and cable but not satellite) have prospered in a mutually symbiotic fashion. So too have weblogs and RSS.
