Hackers update Conficker worm, evade countermeasures March 8, 2009 (Computerworld) Computers infected with the Conficker warm are being updated with a new variant that sidesteps an industry effort to sever the link between the worm and its hacker controllers, researchers at Symantec Corp. said Friday. The new version, dubbed Conficker.c, represents the first set of "orders" that researchers have witnessed being sent to infected systems, said Vincent Weafer, vice president of Symantec's security response group. The update shows that the hackers want to defend their collection of compromised PCs, Weafer argued. Conficker, which is also known as "Downadup," gained notoriety earlier this year when it spread to millions of machines by exploiting a vulnerability that Microsoft Corp. patched with an emergency update in October 2008. Last month, about 20 technology companies and organizations, including Microsoft, Symantec, VeriSign and ICANN, the nonprofit gro...

Microsoft slashes software leasing prices in bid to keep cash-strapped corporate customers March 10, 2009 (Computerworld) In an attempt to retain recession-hit companies seeking to opt out of their software maintenance contracts, Microsoft Corp. is wooing them by cutting the price of leasing software by as much as 26%.

Microsoft's maintenance contract is called Software Assurance. Aimed at large customers, SA is a requirement of several Microsoft licenses, s...

City floating on the sea could be just 3 years away The Seasteading Institute already has drawn up plans for the construction of a homestead on the Pacific Ocean. One project engineer described the prototype as similar to a cruise ship, but from a distance the cities might look like oil-drilling platforms.

Mahasiswa Idialis atau Idialis Mahasiswa Tulisan ini bukan untuk mempropokasi atau ingin menyudutkan, tapi murni tulisan ini merupakan hasil dari sebuah perenungan yang mendalam dari sebuah pergulatan. Seperti yang pernah dikatakan seorang teman kepada saya "tidak ada mahasiswa idialis saat ini, yang ada hanya Idialis mahasiswa". Saya sendiri tadinya tidak setuju dengan apa yang dikatakan teman saya ini, tapi sebuah fenomena dan bukti empiris yang dapat kita amati menunjukan hal tersebut. Kalau kita mau mengadakan penelitian di DPR, mungkin hampir mendekati 60 % anggota dewan dikala mahasiswanya merupakan para mahasiswa yang menyuarakan idialisme, berorganisasi, demontrasi bahkan menggugat sistem.
