Downadup Worm Infection: Cyber Attacks on the Rise in 2009
SecurityFocus reports an estimated 3.5 million computers have been compromised due to a "Downadup worm," a malicious bot that spreads through websites and blogs.
The Downadup worm, a malicious program that spreads using a recently patched Windows flaw, has compromised more than 3.5 million computers, security firm F-Secure stated this week.
The Downadup worm has successfully spread because it uses a major flaw that Microsoft patched in October to remotely compromise computers running unpatched versions of the Windows operating system. However, the malicious program's greatest strength appears to be a feature that allows worm-controlled computers to download malicious code from a random drop point.
The program generates addresses for 250 different domains each day. The botnet controller need only register one of the domains and set up a download server to update the bot program with different functionality, said Mikko Hyppönen, chief research officer at F-Secure.
"The bad guys only need to predetermine one possible domain for tomorrow, register it, and set up a website, and they then gain access to all of the infected machines — pretty clever," Hyppönen said in a blog post.
According to the report, the Downadup worm uses Windows XP's vulnerability in processing remote procedure call (RPC) requests. While a patch was issued and warnings announced, not everyone has upgraded. The top countries hit by the MS08-067 Worms, as F-Secure calls them, are China, Brazil, and Russia, but it is expected to spread further unless server administrators and webmasters update and patch their Windows Servers and Windows programs immediately, including Internet Explorer.
ZD-Net Security Threats reports that the first sign of infection is usually found when users accounts cannot access their accounts and they are locked out of the Active Directory domain as the worm tries to crack passwords in Windows Servers.
Tracking the Downadup infection, F-Secure reported that reports of infections are up by more than one million within just one day, and growing. As last check, they estimate 3,521,230 infections worldwide. read more

At that 'time' the sign of the SON OF MAN WILL APPEAR IN THE SKY AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL MOURN.

Official Google Voice for iPhone hits iTunes App Store
Google's official Google Voice app for iPhone has just hit the iTunes App Store.
- Access your Google Voice account right from your iPhone.
- Receive push notifications for new text or voicemail messages.
- Send free text messages to U.S. numbers and make international calls at cheap rates.
- Listen to your voicemail, read transcripts and manage your Google Voice inbox.
- Display your Google Voice number as caller ID when making calls.
- Call contacts from your iPhone Address Book or enter new numbers on the dialpad.
- A Google Voice account is required to use this app. To sign up go to www.google.com/voice.
- Google Voice is only available in the United States.
Wow, who thought we'd ever get to type those words? While the last bullet point is a bit of a bummer, there's no denying this ends one of the darker chapters of iOS and App Store history -- which included an FCC investigation and revealed the first cracks in what had previously been an Apple/Google love-fest.
If you're trying it out let us know how you like it and how it compares to GV Mobile and other 3rd party offerings.
Now where's the official Gmail app?

Official Google Voice for iPhone hits iTunes App Store
Sorry, link wasn't showing up above. It's there now:
Searching for "googlevoice" and not "google voice" did the trick on my iphone. I'm so excited. lol
Took me a while to figure this out, but when typing googlevoice into the search screen on my iPhone, it auto populated search results until there are none, but when I kept typing anyway, then hit the search button, it finally found it.
Searching "Google Voice" will find it, its just that it is buried about three pages deep.
@Chip: Plus One for Google Talk. Its more or less replaced SMS for me, and its free world wide.
@Gary: Name appears if the person is in your Google Contacts. If you aren't syncing your iPhone Contacts with your Google Contacts I don't think you get name.
Other than unlimited free texting (which isn't really that big a deal) this app isn't worth anything unless it works over data. When that day comes it will be interesting to see how many people say bye to their carriers - my guess - a lot :)
Don't plan on saying goodbye to your carriers any time soon.
You would still need them for the data pipe. (Er, ah, the Tube says Mr Stevens, RIP).
Personally I think the sooner this happens the better, and with LTE we will come closer to the day when the Carriers realize there is more money in data than there is in Voice.
@jt, that's what GV Mobile+ does as well, for whatever reason when you attempt to dial a number with the official GV App it direct dials out to an American number and once connected says "unable to connect your call". GV Mobile+ uses the call you method, once answered dials your desired number.
Apologies. Spoke to soon. I still have the same question as Vietalogy. Signed into Google Voice on the web, went to Settings, then Voicemail & Text. Nothing is checked for forwarding SMS, but my Google Voice texts are still being delivered to BOTH the Google Voice app and to the standard Messages app for iPhone. Did I miss something? How can I turn off text forwarding to the Messages app, and have them delivered only to the Google Voice app? Thanks!
It says it's not available for mobile devices when I try to sign up @www.google.com/voice
3rd time's the charm. It's necessary to log into Google Voice online, go to Settings, then Phones (not Voicemail & Texts), choose your iPhone mobile number, click Edit, then uncheck the box for "Receive text messages on this phone". Problem solved. No more duplicate text message delivery to both Google Voice app and iPhone's Message app.
Very disappointing. The interface is virtually unusable. No way to easily send texts. I'm glad it's free. I'm deleting this and going back to GV Mobile +
Is anyone else noticing it doesn't cache history items? This really is less usable than the other two apps. It kind of looks and behaves like they are using an embedded web browser to load the history data. This is a shame because the push notifications are sweet, but this almost feels more like a web app than a true cocoa based app.
I agree with Charlie. Not having history items cached is a real PAIN. The push notifications are nice but even on wifi, loading the history items is SLOOOOOOWWWWW!!! Google needs to fix this and maybe consider a more intuitive layout.
Until these issues are addressed (mainly the non-caching of data) I'm going to stick with GV Connect (which hasn't failed me yet) and use Notifo for PUSH notifications.
Every time I see a good post I do a few things:1.Share it with my relevant contacts.2.Bookmark it in all my popular social bookmarking websites.3.Make sure to return to the same website where I came accross the article.After reading this article I'm really concidering going ahead and doing all 3...

From the flu to broken bones, illnesses and medical emergencies seem to be inevitable parts of raising kids. It can be stressful any time your child needs medical attention, but even more so when you're worried about where to get that care and how much it will cost.
We have more options for getting health care and paying for it than ever before. There is a movement toward consumer-directed health care, which is health insurance that's designed to get those who use health care — like parents — to play a bigger part in keeping costs in check.
Many different types of consumer-directed health care plans are available, each with its own benefits and limitations. Many of these plans feature high deductibles (the amount of money parents must spend before health care is covered by insurance) as well as health care savings accounts, which make it easier for parents to save money to pay for the services that insurance doesn't cover.
Some plans cover preventive care, routine checkups, vaccines, tests, and regular disease screenings, but others don't. So when you're choosing health insurance, it's important to look for a plan that meets your family's needs.
Rising costs and increased variety among health care plans can make it challenging to find your way in the health care system. The good news is that making decisions while everyone is healthy can help reduce the stress and financial strain when someone in your family does need medical care.

MMarr's Tank Specs
Now my tank is fairly new and I didn't do my research before I added the stuff, I will be getting newer stuff, and better combinations of fish in time.
My Tank
Tank Specs
33G (U.S) Glass Tank
37"Length x 7"Height x 13"Width
AquaClear 70 Filter
Elite Submersible 115Volt 100Watt Heater
Thermometer Ranging 0 - 110F (0 - 43C)
Maxima Air Pump (Art # A-805)
1 Flourescent 10W bulb Lighting the tank
A decent black cover
White and Purple Substrate, around 1"-3" thick, Height of substrate varies
Various amounts of plastic plants, one massive plant, a few large ones, and many medium and small ones
A "cave" where my frog usually hides
2 other stone decorations, almost hidden in plants
A line of bubbles shooting out the back, and a plastic scuba diver who also shoots out bubbles, located near the middle of the tank
A light blue background, there's a large picture of something on it, but I can't figure it out
6 Black Neon Tetras
2 Buenos Aires Tetras
2 Bloodfin Tetras
2 Black-skirt Tetras
1 Zebra Danois (i think)
1 Brilliant Rasboras
1 Marbled Angelfish (BEAUTIFUL)
1 3" Long Common Pleco (Black)
1 American Clawed Frog
Total fish:16
Total Animals:17
My Ideal Tank would be much much different than this, and when I get the chance, these changes will be made. This is my ideal tank
My Ideal Tank
Tank Specs
I would make these changes:
An Airpump with more power
4 30Watt Bulbs for lighting
I would make these changes:
Dark, brownish/orange and black substrate 2" - 5" deep
A Heavily planted tank injected with CO2
Some Driftwood
A Dark background, basically black would be best, with no pictures whatsoever
I would remove all animals, and replace with:
6 Cherry Barbs
1 Common Algae Eater
7 Harelquin Rasboras
6 Rummy Nose Tetras
2 Wonder Golden Killifish
8 Ghost Shrimp
6 Black Neon Tetras
6 Cardinal Tetras
Total fish:34
Total Animals:42
I understand this is a lot of fish, but a few of those species such as the black neon tetras and the cardinal tetras school together very well and I'm sure It would work out.
This combination was thought out somewheres else on this forum and I found some pictures of all of them, and I realized how cool this would look in a tank altogether, and I like it. So I stole the idea :-D
I will be taking pictures of my tank soon, and I'll make an album for them and link the album here. Any questions or comments please PM me, I'm open for suggestions!Last edited by MMarr; 05-28-2005 at 5:43 PM.

PRONUNCIATION: (ty-KOON)
MEANING: noun: A wealthy and powerful person, especially in business or politics.
ETYMOLOGY: From Japanese taikun (great lord or prince), from Chinese ta (great) + kiun (prince). Earliest documented use: 1857.
NOTES: The word was used as a title for the shogun of Japan. Abraham Lincoln's aides used the word as an affectionate nickname for him. Later the word came to be applied to powerful people in business.
USAGE: "Believe it or not, you can buy a $6,000 shower curtain for your home. But why would you? Former Tyco International tycoon Dennis Kozlowski did. He also spent $2,200 on a wastebasket, nearly $3,000 on coat hangers and nearly $6,000 on sheets. ... 'The prices are not out of line, but they're off the scale when it comes to priorities,' says Bilhuber, whose client list includes ex-AOL Time Warner honcho Robert Pittman, Michael Douglas, David Bowie and his model wife, Iman, and designer Hubert Givenchy."

An ancient Christian symbol of Our Saviour. In art it often resembles a dolphin. The Greek word for fish is ichthus, spelled in Greek with five letters only: I-CH-TH-U-S. These form what is called an acrostic, being the initial letters of Iesous CHristos, THeou Uios, Soter (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour). The fish is also a symbol of Christians in general, typified by the miraculous draught of fishes mentioned in Saint John's Gospel, 9, and is thus emblematic of the vocation of the Apostles, the "fishers of men." After the fourth century the symbolism of the fish gradually disappeared; representations of fishes on baptismal fonts and on bronze baptismal cups became ornamental, suggested perhaps by the water used in baptism.

Tales from the pit
My Reviews & Blog
I was in the pit at a Slayer, Megadeth, Testament show, and it was the absolute craziest shit. You really had to stay awake throughout the entire part of the show, not that it would get boring but you could not move. If you lost your shoe or something, you were screwed. Slayer was up on stage acting like maniacs, and everybody loved it. SLAYER FUCKING RULES.

This is brilliant. I do, however, agree that the character variations are strong enough to upset the readability of the shirt for your average peon. With this sort of illustration there's an issue of critical mass, where the viewer needs to recognize a certain amount of the material to form a positive relationship with what they are seeing, or the response becomes confusion and condescension. I think the vast majority of people would fail to meet the necessary recognition level even if the characters were readily-identifiable replicas, which is unfortunate, but not really the shirt's fault.

Late entry is better than no entry, right? I threw out several designs, though decided to keep my submission streak going, so I sketched this up. The original design was going to have a neolithic hunter also, but I like the simpler design. Cheers!
blanked wrote:It took me a long time to see the dog, so hopefully the rejectionator sees it, however in the thumb you show a white background but the shirt comp is blue. So you need to change that (change the background of thumb to match shirt color) to be in rules. As for the design, it seems small, like it may be hard for people to see if not in my personal space.

SeedUvPain wrote: EDIT: You're also ignoring the fact that a majority of the derbies have included a "No Star Wars" rule for this very reason
That was my thought. The stats Tgentry provided are kind of incomplete. How many of those derby shirts were in derbies that had a blanket "no star wars" rule. My guess is that it is a significant amount of derbies. Also, how many Star Wars related shirts were fog/print bound and were rejected because your legal team didn't think you could run it? If there was never a no star wars ban, it would stand to reason that there would be much more star wars prints in the derby catalog. As evidence by last week, and most likely this week when we will be treated to Boba Fetch in the next couple of nights.

Steek Geek
This isn't my first steek, but it's the first time I've secured the edges using a sewing machine instead of rows of crochet. I chose the sewing option because it was for me the less familiar and the more unnerving. Like that nice Mae West, when choosing between two evils I always pick the one I haven't tried yet.
I've only recently started to make friends with my sewing machine. There are still awkward moments, when I'm not sure of myself and she just sits there waiting for me to make a move. We have navigated successfully through a couple of hems, a square pillow and the lower portion of a doll; but never had I run a length of hand-knitting between the presser foot and the feed dogs.
A test drive was in order. I whipped out a swatch* that transitioned (like the lopapeysa) from one color to two. This took ten minutes, and probably saved me an hour's trouble in the long run.
I used the swatch to determine the top tension setting, the stitch length, and the amount of effort I'd need (not much, it turned out) to keep the fabric sliding along the machine bed.
This is not to say there were no bumps. Some knitters like to preserve the illusion of infallibility, but I blew that opportunity years ago. I might as well 'fess up.
The first pass–done with the wrong side of the fabric up, which I'd been told would help me stay on track–was a disaster. It wiggled like an EKG for the first eleven inches, then ran off the steek and and landed in the yoke pattern.
Notice, however, that I am still here, alive, typing this. Notice that the sweater was not wrecked. Notice that the police blotter in the Chicago Sun-Times did not report a man hurling a sewing machine out the living room window and into Lake Michigan.
I learned what happens when (horrors!) your sewn steek goes astray. What happens is you get your seam ripper and you un-pick the stitches. I decided to undo the entire twenty-inch seam. It took thirty minutes. I watched half an episode of Monarch of the Glen while I was doing it. There are worse ways to pass time.
The second and third passes (with the right side up) were uneventful, and whatever jitters attended my maiden voyage with this technique will bother me no more.
Before starting the sleeves, I decided to run a row of single crochet up each selvedge.
I'm so happy I did. The edges have more body, look spiffy, and will provide a more stable base for the zipper.
Sleeves are next. I know I can do sleeves.
*I felt compelled to post a photograph of the swatch to prove that I had done it. I think not swatching and saying you did is one of the dirty little secrets of knitting. It's like flossing your teeth. Maybe you do, maybe you don't; but either way you're going to give the dentist the same answer–which is never "Oh, frankly, I just couldn't be bothered."

the only time I used my sewing machine to stabilize a steek first, I pinned paper on top and bottom of the knit and stitched thru all three layers. The paper tore away afterwards and I didn't worry about the feed dogs or presser foot catching my knit stitches.
- Sally said...
I love Monarch of the Glen!!! Love your sweater even more! Congrats on a successful steek.
- Kari said...
Oh, Franklin...
There is a quicker & easier way to rip out a machine stitched seam!
First, use a small scissors to clip one thread, (either the top or the bottom, but not both!) every 2-4" depending on how tight the tension is. (Tighter and you should clip closer together.)
Then, pull the opposite, intact thread, and it should pull free. If it doesn't, pick out the clipped strands. After that, the intact thread will fall free with a slight tug.
I am in awe of your smarts and persistence of will, but especially your willingness to take the unknown path. I agree, its the best way to teach yourself, if a bit scary!?! Hehe... - 3:05 PM
- Whirlybird said...
The first steek I did required a swatch with about a dozen lines running up and down with the sewing machine. The last time before that that I used a sewing machine was in the 7th grade home ec class where I had to sew an apron. I brought it home and told my mom not to laugh when I showed it to here. "Oh, honey, I'd never laugh at anything you did!" Here I am decades later with her laughter still ringing in my ears. So you can bet I practiced on that swatch until there was no more space to stitch.
- KnitNana said...
Barbara, you're a genius! I will take this tip with me, thank you...
And Franklin, as usual, I'm enthralled with your fortitude. I despise taking the seam ripper to cotton quilt fabric. I cannot (yet) imagine taking one to knitted fabric.
The steek is lovely (so's the knitting) - 3:13 PM
- Colleen said...
Are you going to use Techknitter's knitpicker zipper installation method? I have used the sew a crochet chain to the zipper tape, then graft it in quite successfuly, but I'm looking forward to the nitpicker method, next time!
- Debbi said...
Love it! Nice steeks!!
- Seanna Lea said...
I had a very similar problem with my machine sewn steek (my first and possibly not the last). I ran out of my row, though not quite as far as the yoke pattern. It made for a drunken meander of a steak, but it still worked well enough to make a nice cardigan. Of course, I should have picked it out and tried again.
- NancyFancyPants said...
My standard answer to the dentist is, "yes, every time I eat corn on the cob."
Still haven't tried steeking, but I love your idea of trying it on a swatch first. - 4:49 PM
- Bonnie said...
Steeks are on my list to try. I am afraid, but Ann Weaver's Oranje pattern might be the one that pushes me to the scissors!
- Stephanie said...
You could not be watching something more fitting than Monarch of the Glen while knitting. I cried like a baby when I finished the series, not because of anything that happened, but because it was OVER. Alexander Morton, though way too old for me, is on My List, if only because he will call me "Lassie."
- Anonymous said...
Very brave of you, Franklin. Your cardigan is beautiful! Great steeking! It took me months to get the courage up to do my first steeks on a Dale of Norway sweater I was knitting for my husband but it turned out great!
- Lorna's Laces said...
The response to the dentist? "With every waking moment"
- Jess said...
What's weird is that what I got out of this was the possibility that if you threw your sewing machine out the window, it would land in Lake Michigan, and that made me profoundly jealous. ;) Of course, there is also the possibility that you are just more buff than I am, and while the lake is far, far away, you would just have so much oomph behind your kick...
- Miss Knotty said...
Your steek looks fantastic! How did you sew through the front without sewing it to the back of the sweater when you were running it through the machine? I'm confused about this element.
Miss Knotty, who has only sewn flat pieces on the sewing machine.
word verification: Vitipi: the onomatopoetic sound a sewing machine makes when someone is trying to defenestrate it, their aim is slightly off and it hits the window bracing on its way out. - 7:19 PM
- Carolyn D said...
Looks great! I 'fess, I've never heard of steeking. I had no idea about such a technique. It's so clean and clever! There are lifetimes of learning about knitting.
I've wanted to work with projects that combine sewing and knitting. This steeking stuff opens up that world. Thanks for keeping it interesting.
-Carolyn - 8:25 PM
- Linda Walsh said...
Add st least seven stitches as your steek. Make the center and the ones a stitch away from the center purled
stitches. Now, run your reinforcement in the outer two purl ditches and cut along the center ditch. It is so much easier to do when you have lines to work in. - 8:29 PM
- mly said...
Wow. Just wow. Can you bring this to the Photography class in NYC at the beginning of December? I just signed up and would love to see this cardigan in person.
- ReneeRothmann said...
If you haven't made a line of purl stitches to keep your steek on course, a simple option is to thread a needle with contrasting thread and run a line up the middle of the sweater and then sew the two rows of stitching on both sides of it. Secondly, if you pull the knitting sideways (a little) it is easy to machine stitch the same line of knit stitches because you can see them more clearly as you come to them. Then, to Miss Knotty, the secret is to keep feeling under your knitting to make sure you're only sewing through one layer and keep pushing the other stuff away from the needle. Franklin, having started with the sewing machine and then tried knitting, I am completely impressed that you have tried (patiently) sewing. And the sweater is gorgeous.
- Anonymous, too said...
I don't know that I'd have the big, brass cojones needed to cut a steek in my first lopapeysa!
And I prefer another of Ms. West's famous quotes: "When I'm good, I'm very, very good -- and when I'm bad, I'm even better!" - 10:39 PM
- Charlene said...
I spent the mid80s knitting Icelandic sweaters, but never got to a cardigan. Might have to hit the attic stash . . .aaah, "Monarch of the Glen" - Duncan dancing in that kilt in episode 4 or so . . .
- Gecika said...
Eventually I'll be brave enough to steek, but till then... I'll settle for adapting a top-down lopapeysa!
- leFiligree said...
my birthday is in 2 weeks. just saying. with 5-7 day shipping that gives you about a week to finish this. ;) love the colors.
- Anonymous said...
How could you focus on anything like seam-ripping when "Monarch of the Glen" was on? When WYCC was running them, I practically couldn't move. Although I did use and abuse the library copy of "North and South" when I had to get a shawl done right then, no getting up for anything. I put down all the dropped stitches to Richard Armitage smouldering... Gwyn
- Diane said...
Good progress! I should try the crochet method for steeking one of these days; I like the edge and stability that you said it has.
Word verification is "smossea", too early for me to come up with a definition for it. - 9:20 AM
- Anonymous said...
I am both a knitter and a sewer, more experienced in the latter. I have not done a steek, but the next time you might want to try using a walking foot on your machine. They are wonderful, moving what you are sewing both from the top and the bottom and less likely to stretch what you are sewing.
- Pretty Knitty said...
OMGosh - beautiful! Steeking scares me to death! And you swatched...with proof! I didn't think I could be more impressed with you, but I am...
- SallyM said...
So very pretty!! I will definitely check out Monarch of the Glen - I have a PI shawl to finish :)
- Torhild (NL) said...
oh i remember my first time! nervwrecking! it was a (at the time very modern) cardigan in blue and white with a sort of a wavy part from the wast down. one round took me about an hr to finish. and I had to cut into this...!!! remeber i also knitted 3 sleves as the second didn't match the fist. i know better know: knit both at the same time! have to admit: i never knit a swatch :-/... once i decided to do so and the finished item turned out waaaaaay to big anyway. so; stuff that!! have a great weekend
(ps absolutely LOVED M of the G! oh dear, have to admit i fancied Archie rotten ;-) - but keep that secret to yourself pls!) - 12:48 PM
- AnneMarie said...
I just found Monarch of the Glen. It has sheep, Country Dancing and a hunky guy. Kinda like it. Steek on!
- Liz said...
I think not swatching and saying you did isn't as bad as actually swatching and saying you didn't - like those kids at school who claimed not to have done any revision and yet still got straight A's, allegedly from natural brilliance.
I also second the suggestion of hand stitching a guideline before machine sewing the steek - works a treat, especially on knitting with a finer gauge. - 3:43 PM
- FiberQat said...
I hope your steeking gives those who are a'feared of steenkin' steeks a little confidence. Perhaps you should include that in your classes. Or do you and I don't know it?
@Colleen, I'm curious now about the crochet chain on the zipper before installation. Thanks for posting that info!
WV= inalirth Isn't that a tiny village where they discovered how to do some obscure knitting technique? - 8:15 PM

Steeking, schmeeking -- I just requested season one of Monarch of the Glen from the library.
- 3goodrats said...
That looks really fantastic - you are a braver person than I! Until my sewing machine learns to cooperate, it's not getting near my knitting.
I watched Monarch of the Glen pretty obsessively a year or two ago, and I thought it was fantastic. (There were also some nice sweaters.) - 8:05 PM
- Anonymous said...
Another version of the paper method - keep (say 2 x 10 cm.) lengths of pattern weight card stock in your machine drawer. For all knits, line up the cardboard just to the left of the needle and sew on! It keeps the knit from stretching under the foot and gives you a straight line to follow. Love your blog!
- Ásdís said...
I felt compelled to comment on your post because I'm an icelander and a knitter and have knitted a few lopapeysa in my life ... I have yet to knit one top down though, we are taught to do it the hard way in school, so i was very confused when you said you had finished the body and were on to the sleeves now ... it took a few moments for me to process =) I've only ever done it bottom up.
I usually leave the steeking to my mom, who is a pro at the lopapeysa and cranks one out for a birthday or just because a relative requested it, about 1-2 a month.
Addictive to knit indeed =)
Good luck with the rest of the garment and I hope you'll love wearing one as much as the icelanders do =) - 8:45 AM

When I was looking for that perfect zipper for my yarn, I ordered one from the lovely folks at http://www.zipperstop.com/. I sent them a swatch and they matched it based on color and weight, and cut to my exact length. It only took a few days for all to be complete, and the cost was similar to what I'd pay in the chain stores. Now isn't our hand-knitting worth a little more perfection?

I really like that book! The armadillo creates a very awesome turtle if you knit the spend in a variegated darkish shade and our bodies in natural ;-)
