Personal firewalls easy to breach
Published: Monday, December 11, 2000 | By: DennisHere is a snip
It’s one thing to rush an application to market without thinking about security. It’s another to rush a security application to market. But that’s what’s happened with several personal firewalls — a product category that was a virtual nonentity a year ago but is now standard fare for anyone on a broadband connection, including telecommuters.
I however have a different solution. Break out that old P90 or 486, get 2 NIC's and install Linux. Then with 4 or so lines of code you have a Secure, Functional, and Free Firewall. -
Cheats Discovered in CounterStrike
Published: Monday, December 11, 2000 | By: DennisIt seems that various "cheats" have been discovered in the retail release of CounterStrike. Not that I am a big fan of CS but I know how much it sucked to get railed in mid-air by a lucky punk with a ping of 300 over and over again. He might have been good but not that good.

WON.net Gets Sacked!
Published: Friday, December 8, 2000 | By: DennisI got this from Fatbabies that had in turn kifed it from Planet Half-Life.
-A source close to Havas sent me the following message via ICQ: "Havas interactive (company who owns Sierra) axed around 500 people. Sierra was a mess on Friday, lots of people crying like babies. Basically, the people who are getting axed are people on the home side (land designer, ect.). The company that was WON.net has been completely axed."
For all of us CounterStrike junkies this could be ugly news indeed. I wonder if anyone is watching the Speeding Train that is WON Serial Number Identification Servers now that all the engineers have been canned. -

Cable modems suck!
Published: Tuesday, December 5, 2000 | By: DennisWell I was stuck at 56k last night when the cable network went down. I have to admit I feel dirty. But that didn't really upset me, what did was the girl I talked to on the support line proceeded to insist that my node was bad and a technician needed to come out to check it.
Well if that is the case why do I have access this morning? I hate them but its cheap so what the heck.
