  • Behind the Scenes and Inside Workings of a CERT
    An anonymous reader writes "Ireland's Computer Emergency Response Team differs from what you can find in most other countries, since it's not government-backed and relies mainly on the good will of several security professionals. In this interview, the founder and head of the CERT, Brian Honan, talks about how the CERT was formed, what equipment they use and what challenges they face in their daily work without having a government to back them up."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fit.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F09%2F07%2F1232211%2FBehind-the-Scenes-and-Inside-Workings-of-a-CERT" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Behind+the+Scenes+and+Inside+Workings+of+a+CERT%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FdzXMBB" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/10/09/07/1232211/Behind-the-Scenes-and-Inside-Workings-of-a-CERT?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1779452amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframeimg width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d835e8f/mf.gif' border='0'/ pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/sKfQSGQEr07DnehVtBoZgKI8en0/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/sKfQSGQEr07DnehVtBoZgKI8en0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/sKfQSGQEr07DnehVtBoZgKI8en0/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/sKfQSGQEr07DnehVtBoZgKI8en0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/uuJXia-jkbY" height="1" width="1"/

  • Pirate Bay Down; Police Raids Across Europe
    Stoobalou contributes a link to this story at Thinq.co.uk, from which he excerpts: "Torrent-tracking site The Pirate Bay is currently unavailable as reports come in of co-ordinated police raids against file sharers across Europe. Police in up to 14 countries carried out raids against suspected file-sharing servers this morning. According to file-sharing news site TorrentFreak, the bulk of police action seems to have taken place in Sweden. Swedish Internet service provider ISP, which hosts both The Pirate Bay and whistle-blowing site WikiLeaks, earlier denied rumours of a police raid, saying that officers had visited them to ask questions over two suspect IP addresses, and that no computers or other goods had been seized."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyro.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F09%2F07%2F1253244%2FPirate-Bay-Down-Police-Raids-Across-Europe" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Pirate+Bay+Down%3B+Police+Raids+Across+Europe%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fck1yJR" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/09/07/1253244/Pirate-Bay-Down-Police-Raids-Across-Europe?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1779474amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframeimg width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d82d711/mf.gif' border='0'/ pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/J-gFJknzUBoqy5xNbgkOQbKkBOI/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/J-gFJknzUBoqy5xNbgkOQbKkBOI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/J-gFJknzUBoqy5xNbgkOQbKkBOI/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/J-gFJknzUBoqy5xNbgkOQbKkBOI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/gg76dVcfDs8" height="1" width="1"/

  • Former HP CEO Selected As Oracle Co-President
    theodp writes "Late on Monday, Oracle announced that ousted HP CEO Mark Hurd has joined the company as a co-president and a director. Hurd resigned from HP a month ago, after an investigation by the board into a personal relationship with a contractor turned up questionable expenses. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, a personal friend of Hurd, criticized HP's board at the time, saying it was 'the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs.' 'Mark did a brilliant job at HP and I expect he'll do even better at Oracle,' Ellison said in a statement Monday. 'There is no executive in the IT world with more relevant experience than Mark.' Stepping down to make room for Hurd was Charles E. Phillips Jr., who had some personal relationship issues of his own."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F09%2F07%2F012240%2FFormer-HP-CEO-Selected-As-Oracle-Co-President" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Former+HP+CEO+Selected+As+Oracle+Co-President%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FcoC5el" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/09/07/012240/Former-HP-CEO-Selected-As-Oracle-Co-President?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1778864amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframeimg width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d825a65/mf.gif' border='0'/ pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/vGVhXLk-lBsUzx-GDvXx7xYTgb8/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/vGVhXLk-lBsUzx-GDvXx7xYTgb8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/vGVhXLk-lBsUzx-GDvXx7xYTgb8/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/vGVhXLk-lBsUzx-GDvXx7xYTgb8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/siOP9986vig" height="1" width="1"/

  • Self-Assembling Photovoltaic Tech From MIT
    telomerewhythere writes "Michael Strano and his team at MIT have made a self-assembling and indefinitely repairable photovoltaic cell based on the principle found in chloroplasts inside plant cells. 'The system Strano's team produced is made up of seven different compounds, including the carbon nanotubes, the phospholipids, and the proteins that make up the reaction centers, which under the right conditions spontaneously assemble themselves into a light-harvesting structure that produces an electric current. Strano says he believes this sets a record for the complexity of a self-assembling system. When a surfactant is added to the mix, the seven components all come apart and form a soupy solution. Then, when the researchers removed the surfactant, the compounds spontaneously assembled once again into a perfectly formed, rejuvenated photocell.'"pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F09%2F07%2F0424217%2FSelf-Assembling-Photovoltaic-Tech-From-MIT" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Self-Assembling+Photovoltaic+Tech+From+MIT%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FdurPVg" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://science.slashdot.org/story/10/09/07/0424217/Self-Assembling-Photovoltaic-Tech-From-MIT?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1778976amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframeimg width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d80d48f/mf.gif' border='0'/ pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b-Psb7LzAJnftjFxPgnktUD2jFM/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b-Psb7LzAJnftjFxPgnktUD2jFM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b-Psb7LzAJnftjFxPgnktUD2jFM/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b-Psb7LzAJnftjFxPgnktUD2jFM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/CsV_QaJeq6s" height="1" width="1"/

  • Breathing New Life Into Old DirectDraw Games
    An anonymous reader writes "I bought a bunch of old Wing Commander games for Windows, but they use DirectDraw, which Microsoft has deprecated. They don't work too well under Windows 7, so I ended up reimplementing ddraw.dll using OpenGL to output the games' graphics. I wrote an article describing the process and all the fun workarounds I had to come up with, and released all related source code for others to hack on."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F09%2F07%2F0344257%2FBreathing-New-Life-Into-Old-DirectDraw-Games" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Breathing+New+Life+Into+Old+DirectDraw+Games%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F9po8Uc" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/09/07/0344257/Breathing-New-Life-Into-Old-DirectDraw-Games?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1778944amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframeimg width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/d7f3d2d/mf.gif' border='0'/ pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/_Ex_Y9BJKMQ3Iafz7-wNtxP2yq4/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/_Ex_Y9BJKMQ3Iafz7-wNtxP2yq4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/_Ex_Y9BJKMQ3Iafz7-wNtxP2yq4/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/_Ex_Y9BJKMQ3Iafz7-wNtxP2yq4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/Eo5oe89MMXY" height="1" width="1"/
