Firefox 3 I want you!

No Comments

So if you guys have kept up with the browser wars you would know that Firefox 3 is the fastest Browser around. Or at least it will be when its officially out of the release candidate stage. To top it off when the final is released sometime this month Mozilla would like everyone and their mother to download it for a Guinness world record! Be sure and support the best browser there is!

Where’s the RAM?

2 Comments

Well BurstNET has struck again! I submitted a simple upgrade request for RAM for one of our customers still in the BurstNET facility and here we are, almost 7 days later, without the additional RAM.

After pestering the live AIM support agent for BurstNET I found out that the sales, billing, and order processing departments decided to take a nice long weekend, well more like the entire week off.

According to the AIM rep, no new orders have been processed nor have any sales or billing tickets. This really irritated me, but there is not much I can do except call or email them :( The prices at BurstNET are unbelievable, but it goes without saying, you get what you pay for!

Now, for those of you reading, no worries! We no longer are working with new servers from BurstNET and are phasing all existing servers out as people upgrade. All new signups and major upgrades are getting shiny new hardware out of Dallas :)

I stumbled across this today and it was kind of neat. It is a text only shell like google.

Seems kind of neat and is quick to use.

It can do websearches image searches as well as some Wikipedia stuff :D

So check it out

Comcast Pwned!

No Comments

Well on Wednesday night (28 May) two hackers calling themselves KRYOGENIKS Defiant and EBK. Gained access to over 200 of Comcast’s domains. Once they had access to this they directed Comcast.net to other servers and this caused Comcast users to not have access to there email accounts for several hours. How they managed to pull this off is not fully known but it seems to be a flaw with Network Solutions (Comcast’s Registar)

The registar reported

“Normally defacement attacks simply involve the spraying of digital graffiti on a website. However, in the case of the Comcast attack it seems some attempt may have been made to snoop on its users’ login credentials.”

But in an interview on another site (I can not seem to find the link) the hackers said that altho they could have attempted to get passwords but did not.

Seems everything has been fixed now and all is back online.
