| Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net. |

Languages
Here are some reasons for the existence of various programming languages according to the author of this t-file. I found it on textfiles.com...
COBOL was designed so that managers could read code.
BASIC (now VB) was designed for people who are not programmers.
FORTRAN is for scientists.
ADA comes from a committee - a government committee no less.
PILOT is for teachers.
PASCAL is for students.
LOGO is for children
APL is for martians.
FORTH, LISP and PROLOG are specialty languages.
C, however, is for programmers.

Re: Languages
PHP really kicks arse. If you want to do any web development and know a bit of C, PHP will be the most natural choice. Its fast open source and runs on anything. I have developed on win and unix systems with it and the code is just about 100% compatable.
I know its an old analogy but it is true, PERL is like a swiss army knife (you can write anything is it). PHP is like a scalpel (it is limited to web dev, but is perfectly suited for the job).
PHPs main competition is the evil ASP. For the life of me I cant understand why anyone would choose ASP. Its slower, its limited to windows (I know there are unix hacks like chilisoft but they suck) and its closed source.
I think its easier to find ASP programmers though, so that may play a role.
PHP can do basically anything. As a matter of fact I am posting this using an anonymous web proxy (simular to the anonymizer) that I am writing in PHP. Its pretty sweet. I love C but wish it had better text parsing. Regex rules.
