Intel 要求從 Open Source License 的列表退出

上的消息 (看起來不是愚人節新聞):Intel Requests OSI to Pull OS License

大意是說,在 Open Source Initiative OSI – Licensing 這頁上面有個「」:


的講法是這樣:

“We’re not pulling the plug on the license altogether, we’re just asking OSI to de-emphasize this license as part of their list,” Smith told internetnews.com.

不過還是讓不少人不滿…

微軟對釣魚網站大反擊

控告釣魚網站侵害商標 (對, 是以「商標法」為手段):Butterfly attack on phishers

上面提到的這篇文章「Microsoft launches 117 anti-phishing suits」很清楚的表示了 決定一口氣控告 117 個釣魚站台,這些站台是在 2004/10 ~ 2005/03 在網路上釣取使用者資料。

果然是 的大手筆。(該不會是因為他們公司很久沒被司法部捅菊花,所以律師都沒事做?)

幹壞事是進步最大的原動力

雖然是 4/1 新聞,可是引用的報導是 3/30,而且下面的 comments 看起來好像是真的 XD Student Hacks System to Alter Grades

A UCSB student is being charged with four felonies after she allegedly stole the identity of two professors and used the information to change her own and several other students’ grades, police said.

怎麼 crack 呢,因為為了怕教授們忘記密碼的時候不知道怎麼辦,所以這個系統 (eGrades) 可以用社會安全號碼與出生日期拿到密碼:

The Universty of California Santa Barbara has a custom program, eGrades, where faculty can submit and alter grades. It’s password protected, of course. But there’s a backup system, so that faculty who forget their password can reset it using their Social Security number and date of birth.

很明顯的,這是程式上的瑕疵,於是被學生給予正義的一擊… (不過怎麼會被抓呢 *thinking*)
